honoring Meversonj Mort Trachtenbarg, chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Jewish Federation of Omaha Foundation, has announced the establishment of the Herman and Mary Meyerson Fund, the income from which will be made available annually to aid in the support of programs of the Bureau of Jewish Education which foster or enhance the quality of Jewish education in the Omaha metropolitan area.

The Herman and Mary Meyerson Fund was created by a contribution to the Federation by John and Gwen Smart, of Greenwich, Conn., in' memory of Mrs. Smart's parents, long-time residents of Omaha and Council Bluffs, who for many years operated a retail grocery store in Council Bluffs.

Mrs. Smart, a native of Council Bluffs, and her sisters Mildred Frankel and Pearl Marcus of Omaha and Florence Frischer of Kansas City, recalled their parents' strong interest in Jewish education and observed that the Herman and Mary Meyerson Fund, through its annual support of the Bureau's educational programs, would provide an active and continuing memorial to their parents.

Mr. Meyerson was active in the Council Bluffs Jewish community for many years, serving as president of the synagogue and as an officer of B'nai B'rith. Mrs. Meyerson was active in the synagogue sisterhood and Hadassah. '

By Leslie Wolfson Federation staff associate "Smooth" seemed to be the catch word describing last Sunday's "Super Sunday" Phone-a-thon kicking off the 1984 Federation Campaign.

Termed a success by Federation officials and volunteers, the 80 phone solicitors for the event garnered $40,000 a 28 percent increase over last year's total, according to Phonera-thoji co-chairman,,Gary Javitch.The smoothness of the Phone-a-thon, which ran from 9:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. was attributed to months of planning, help from the Federation and working well together, said-Mr. Javitch and co-chairmen Dodi Redler and Tim Michelson.

Around 1,100 households were contacted and a large number of past non-givers chose to pledge, according to Federation representatives. Call backs for households not contacted Sunday will be made in the near future.

The Phone-a-thon co-chairmen thanked the following people for aiding in the event's success: Phone-a-thon callers: Pam Epstein, 1 Gloria Bassik, Terri Zacharia, Steve Redler,

By David Friedman JERUSALEM (JTA) The Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations denounced Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's statement at the White House recently as violating the spirit of Camp David.

"President Mubarak's latest public statement in Washington blaming Israel

for the continuing turmoil in Lebanon, calling on the United States to negotiate with the terrorist PLO and omitting any reference to either Camp David or the peace treaty gives still further grounds for fear that the peace treaty is unravelling," the Presidents Conference said in a formal statement.

.brochure on scholarships

By Jonathan Hoseubaurn Director, Bureau of Jewish Education (Continued from last week) The Carolyn Kully Newman Fund — . was endowed by the Milton S. and Corinne Livingston, Foundation in memory of Carolyn Kully; Newman. -• The endowment provides support for Jewish thildren who are just beginnin#th"eir education.

Children of kindergarten age or younger whose families are in need are eligible for financial support which will allow them to participate in approved programs and activities of the Jewish community of Omaha.

The fund also helps to build new programs for local Jewish children who are kindergarten age or younger.

The Esther K. Newman Trust is dedicated to the memory of a woman who devoted herself to the needs of the Omaha Jewish community. Established with funds secured by the sale of the Esther K. Newman Camp, this endowment provides funds for, special educational programs while it seeks to promote an increasingly higher level of Jewish education.

Scholarships for Jewish camping, Israel pilgrimages, and attendance at the Jewish Day School of Omaha are examples of direct aid to children provided by the fund.

Lois Jeanne Schrager Memorial Fund — Phillip G. Schrager established this fund in. 1980 as a lasting tribute to his late wife. Each year, the endowment fund provides college scholarships to Jewish students from the Omaha area, so they may pursue their goals' in higher education and carry out the dreams of Lois Jeanne Schrager.

Beatrice and Nate H. Sherman Scholarship Fund — The Nate H. Sherman Foundation has established this fund to provide annual scholarships for qualified college students.

A substantial endowment allows the Financial Aicf Committee to provide academically qualified students with Jewish commitment and financial need with grants which will further their education.

The fund is named in memory of a longtime Omahan whose generosity to this and other communities is well known.

Need for additional endowments and contributions The various funds described signify vital and growing opportunity for the Jewish youth of Omaha and represent an ongoing acknowledgement of the importance of education at all levels.

The soaring costs of both general and Jewish education have made scholarships and loans a vital necessity to a far large/ number of students than in the past.

Therefore, anyone interested in adding to the principal of existing funds in order to make more aid available j n the future ma"y make tax deductible contributions to the Jewish Federation of Omaha Endowment, with an accompanying note indicating to which fund the contribution is intended.

Also, despite generous contributions by major foundations and devoted individuals, additional contributions to establish entirely new funds are most welcome.

- Those interested in establishing new funds may,contact the executive director, Jewish Federation of Omaha, 333 S. 132nd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68154.

J /...Jlt ii^.oMoa of tii agreement with KtcA Let's recap come recent e^ent" Israel put hereclf at grcLt rie'e to m d e pocce \at\\ Egypt. Israel gave up the protection of vast territory, modern airfields and profitable oil resources.

She gave all of this up for a piece of paper and assurances from both Egypt and the United States that this was'the proper course of action.

At best, the Egyptian peace treaty has dwindled to an unacceptable cold peace with little^ future. At worst, the leader of Egypt is returning his country to the Arab fold and returning Egypt to a state of verbal . belligerency.

Egypt is now treading a fine line between cold peace and open hostilities. , Now, the recipient of modern arms from the United States, she soon will again be a military power to be feared.

Israel has no choice but to again prepare for protecting herself militarily against Egypt. ' '; In Lebanon, Israel eliminated the PLO as a worldwide terrorist threat end made it possible for the government to re-establish itself.

Israel accomplished this goal despite an upheaval of world criticism and. condemnation. The United States joined in the outcry and precsured Israel to stop.

Ultimately, with the cooperation and assurances of the United States, Israel signed an agreement with the sovereign government of Lebanon to withdraw forces in a simultaneous arrangement with other foreign forces including those of Syria.

What a laugh Assad must have enjoyed. .He never had any intention of "withdrawing and most ordinary people felt in their bones that this was to be Syria's position. Why couldn't our professional diplomats also see this?

Now, Syria aided by the Soviet Union dictates the course of action in Lebanon.

Thus, once again Israel Defense Forces must be on the move to make it clear that the PLO and other terrorists will not be allowed to move southward to threaten Israel's northern border.

Although the latest news about the United States talking with the PLO is unconfirmed at this writing, it could be true.

If it is, how can Israel trust the word of her best friend?

In the final analysis, Israel's security depends on Israel's strength.

To tho Editor: As-presidento of the synagogues of Omaha we would like to inform you, before you experience critical situations in your life or that of your family, that the presence of rabbis in the community is made possible by the support of viable congregations.

It is, therefore, reasonable to expect that our rabbis devote their time, energies, and counsel to the members of their respective congregations, excepting in unusual and emergency situations, and to general community needs.

They should not ordinarily be expected to officiate for those who are not adult members of any congregation.

We wish it to be absolutely clear that it is possible for those in any economic circumstance to join any congregation in the Omaha community and to feel most welcome.

In joining a congregation you will have all of the benefits which each synagogue offers, including the services of the rabbi.

When I was a little boy,.I lived in a "melting pot" community in New York City. I grew up within' a community of Italian, Greek, Polish, Czechoslovakia!) and Irish Americans.

Walking to my Orthodok synagogue OB a child on Shabbat my "neighborhood friends" would tease me for being, dressed up instead of being with them to play punchball or : stickball on the streets. .

One particular "neighborhood friend," who was twice my size and age delighted in tormenting me. He always referred . to me derogatorily as "Greenlevy" and he used to follow me on my way to synagogue in a most provocative fashion screaming at me "why did you do it?"

AIPAC releases study on Jerusalem

By Lisa Beiiren American Israel Public Affairs Committee "U.S. .policy toward.the status of Jerusalem is riddled with contradictions," claims the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). "It is a policy which from its very inception never corresponded with Jerusalem's changing reality."

Jn an eye-opening gtudy, entitled U.S. Policy Toward Jerusalem, the Capital of Ierac-I, AIPAC researcher Sara M Averick traces the history and examines the inconsistencies found in Washington's present policy. For exampje, in no other country in the world is the American embassy located outside the administrative capital; even the American Embassy to communist East Germany is located in East Berlin although the U.S. does not recognize Berlin as the capital of the German Democratic Republic.

Thus, says AIPAC, "the United States has one consistent rule for the rest of the world, including a member of the Warsaw Pact, and another unjustified rule for Israel, a friend and ally."

Other inconsistencies include the fact that Washington has, since 1967, espoused the principle of an "undivided" Jerusalem, refusing to acknowledge the reality that the city is already unified. Moreover, the U.S. insists that the city be both united and yet subject to negotiations, implying that even west Jerusalem could be handed over to the Arabs.

The study also analyzes the development of this policy, breaking it.down into three stages. For 19 years, between 1948 and 1967, Washington refused to acknowledge the partition of the city between Israel and Jordan, choosing instead to support "a completely imaginary alternative" — internationalization.

After Jerusalem was reunited in June 1967 until 1969, the U.S. declared its commitment to a united city whose

status was "subject to negotiations." Since 1969, America has designated east Jerusalem "occupied territory," • implicitly conceding U.S. recognition of the legality of the 1949 partition boundary dividing the holy city.

"A change in this anomalous and anachronistic policy is long overdue," concludes AIPAC. "For more than three decades, U.S. policy has avoided the reality that Jerusalem is, has |)e6n, and always will he the capital of Israel."

The study reveals that most Americans accept this reality. Drawing upon public opinion polls, AIPAC shows that a sizeable majority of Americans not only supports Israeli control over a unified Jerusalem, but also believes that Jerusalem should be recognized as the capital of Israel.

The monograph was released in anticipation of forthcoming hearings on legislation to move the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Thomas A. Dine, AIPAC's executive director, observes that "sentiment has been building among many members of the United States Senate and of the House of Representatives to end this affront to the Jewish State and to bring U.S. policy in line with the reality that Jerusalem is and will remain the capital of Israel . . . It is time for the U.S. to recognize the capital of the Jewish State as such and move the American Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem." / The American Israel Public Affairs Committee is the only American organization registered to lobby Congress on legislation affecting Israel. AIPAC is supported by private donations from more than 48,000 members.

U.S. Policy Toward Jerusalem, the Capital of Israel is the sixth in the series of "AIPAC Papers" analyzing various aspects of the U.S.-Israel relationship.

It's funny the way so much Yiddish has crept into the English language — have you noticed? Seem that everybody talks about "sblepping" around, whether the speaker is an O'Brien or a Cohen. And the word "chutzpa" has become as likely to be heard in a Johnny Carson line as in the speech of your Zada.

That lovely and oh-so-descriptive word1 "zaftig" has also come into wide usage. That word is also getting the attention of many comedians, but regardless, you have to agree that plump, chubby or well-rounded just doesn't express the same message.

I wonder why so many words are filtering into English?

Personally, I believe Yiddish to be a. marvelous language.

I've always considered myself fortunate to have grown up close to Yiddish speaking grandparents and other elders. I believe there are times when there is no English word to articulate exactly what I want to say. Let me give you an example: did you ever try to describe what it was like to listen to a real bore expounding on some subject or other?

Can you imagine a better way to tell somebody about1 the experience than to say the person was "a real maven". Of course the world knows that "maven" means expert, but how can you flavor "expert" with sarcasm the way it's done in Yiddish? " .

Have you ever spent some time with a dear, warm person who though not a beauty contest winner, made you feel a special something? Such a person might be described as "chainivdig". You know what? I'm not sure that saying sweetness and warmth defines that word! But if you are fairly well versed in Yiddish, you don't need definitions.

There can be no higher praise for one human to bestow on the other than to call him a "mench" .. .one of our best words! And how about "naches" or "machetunim" or (if you'll pardon the expression) "trayf". Good words, all of them.

There are no two ways about it , .. our Yiddish is an absolutely terrific language. I'd be lost without the mamaloshen. Wouldn't you?

Parashat vaYakkel .

By Rabbi Myer S. Kripte As we approach the end of . the Book of Exodus, the Torah text repeats with sol•' emn reverence the fact that all the appurtenances of the Sanctuary of the wilderness were fabricated according to exact instruction already given. Even the names of the chief artificers, Bezalel and his staff, are named for perpetual remembrance.

Modern Biblical critics are skeptical about all this splendor in the temporary, moveable Sanctuary. Where did all the materials come from in the desert — gold, silver, copper, semi-precious stones, skins, furs, fabrics, fine timbers, etc.? It is thought that the portable Sanctuary described here is really a reflection of parts of the construction of the Temple of Solomon in the 10th century B.C.E., described in our Haftarah.

This brings me now to the subject I wish to discuss, the use of the word "Temple" for our Synagogues. Very few Orthodox synagogues, but quite a few Conservative synagogues (especially on the Coasts, more rarelv, in the center of the country), and very many Reform synagogues use the word "Temple" in their title, e.g., Temple Beth El, Temple Bnai Israel, and the like.

I dislike the use of the term. Our synagogues are not "temples."

The Temple of Solomon and its successor, the Temple of the Second Commonwealth, enlarged and embellished by the infamous Herod, were certainly legit-, imate in their day. Worship was mainly by an elaborate sacrifical system, presided over by a hereditary priesthood. The splendor of the system is familiar even to Jews not fully familiar with the Book of Leviticus or the Talmudic discussions, for the Yom Kippur sacrifices and ceremonies aVe described at length in our Yom Kippur synagogue liturgies in what we call the "Avodah."

Seb (Subby) Pulverente Frank L Ciciulla Jr. 60 Years Experience With Jewish Lettering and Memorials 2211 So. 8th 341-2452

The Temple advanced the i whole idea of sacrifice of animal life as a means of wor- ship by making it clear that the sacrifice did not mechanically assure God's favor: it was simply a means of symbolizing the worshiper's sincerity — whether an individual or the community. So the Temple's use of sacrifice was certainly legitimate. Animal sacrifice was used by the Canaanites and others in the ancient Middle East, and, for that matter, in the Greco-Roman world and elsewhere. Nowhere else was it "ethicized" as it was in Hebrew worship.

But the Temple, even though it continued in the Second Commonwealth, was slated to be replaced by the Synagogue, an entirely different kind of institution.

The Synagogue used prayer and hymn, and especially Scripture reading and interpretation, i.e., study, as its media of worship, the priest's function was sharply reduced too, Bince in the Synagogue he had small duty. A teacher, a bookman, a "Scribe" took his place.

It was the ancient Synagogue, not the Temple, which was the parent or progenitor of the modern Synagogue, as well as the Church and the Mosque.

I have the suspicion that 19th century American Je- wry began to. use.certain words to avoid terms that aroused the derision of antiSemites. "Synagogue" was one. "Temple" was substituted. Even the word "Jews," usually attached by antiv-Semitea to a deroga»i>. tory adjective, was hidden away. Periodicals, a century ago, were the American Hebrew and the American Israelite, even though a more exact usage of the terms Hebrew and Israelite would confine them to Biblical Jews of the pre-Exilic period.

One understands the reason for the use of "Temple" in the 19th century. But that reason is now gone.

And since "Temple" implies one and one only holy place, a hereditary priesthood, and worship by animal sacrifice, it has three implications that no longer apply, even misinform.

The Synagogue is, frankly, higher religion than the Temple. A synagogue may be anywhere, any time.

Its leadership is democratic, a teaching rabbinate to which anyone (even a woman?!) may aspire, and its worship i8 by Scripture stu,dy and a liturgy of prayer.

QUESTION: Why is it customary to moke a small cut into the loaf of bread before pronouncing the benediction (Ha-Motzee) over the bread?

ANSWER: There is a general rule which says that there should be no interruption between the pronunciation of a blessing and the act which follows the blessing. The blessing over the bread is pronounced over the eating of the bread.

If there had to be a full cut between the blessing and the eating this would constitute an interruption. The blessing should preferably be said over the whole bread. Hence a small cut is made before the blessing so that the interruption would be minimized.

Mike Wallace's problem

By M.J. Rosenberg Near East tteport Listen to Mike Wallace, the CBS correspondent, on Syria. "There are Syrians still alive today who can remember when there was no Jordan, no Lebanon, surely no Israel.

Those states arc 20th century creations, carved out of a once-vast area here in the eastern Mediterranean that historians call Greater Syria."

That was Wallace on the Jan. 8 edition of GO Minutes.

Wallace, of course, was wrong. Modern Syria is as much a 20th century creation as Jordan," Lebanon, and Israel — they all won independence in the 19403. As to ancient Syria, it did cxiut .thousands of years ago. However, it does not predate ancient Israel — which, as every child knows, existed as a Jewish state 1,000 years before the birth of Christ.

But there is no need to recite ancient history to rebut Wallace's falsehoods. The question is: why is Mike Wallace so obsessed with Israel that he is led to defend even the Syrians? What is it about Israel — or about Mike Wallace — that has brought him to the point where he will provide free public relations services to Hafez Assad's Syria — one of the great human rights violators on the planet?

That sounds like a rough indictment. But look at the record. In 1975 Mick Wallace did a 60 Minutc3 segment on the condition of Jews in Syria. Wallace concluded his report with the news that "today, life for Syria's Jews is better than it was in years past." This ridiculous statement about the terrified and terrorized Jewish community in Syria caused a sensation. In fact, Wallace felt compelled to do a second segment on Syrian Jews, one in which he tried .to back away from his earlier pro-Syrian report.

But Wallace didn't learn much from that episode. In his Jan. 8 report, he mouths Syrian propaganda as if he were a member of the Ba'ath party's young leadership group.

Wallace on Lebanon: "One thing Syria wants in Lebanon is a government more representative of all the peoples of that country, like the Lebanese Druse, a small Moslem sect who live in the Shouf Mountains above Beirut." Of course, that is what they want, Mike, Syria is well-known for its commitment to equal representation for minorities. (However, that does not apply to Syria itself which, is a dictatorship run by the tiny group that surrounds Hafez Assad.)

Wallace on Israel: "Nothing affronts Syrian dignity and pride more than the fact that Israel has Syrian land, the Golan Heights, and the Syrians want it back." That's right, Mike. But how did the Israelis get "Syrian land?" Was it in an Israeli war of aggression or did Israel capture the Golan Heights after Syria attacked Israel from the Heights in 1967?

Wallace on Syria's goals: "So what does Syria want? . . .

What they want, above all, now from Washington,'they say, is. more attention to even-handedness — as sympathetic a hearing for Syrian views as Washington now gives to Israel.

Only on that basis, says Damascus, can real progress toward real peace be made here in the Middle East."

Wallace almost moves his listener to empathy with and sympathy for the Syrians. After all, why shouldn't they get the same treatment from Washington that Israel does? Listen hard, Mike. The reason the United States supports Israel is (1) because Israel is a democracy and (2) because Israel is a consistent American ally. Syria, on the other hand, is a repressive police state that is allied with the

Soviet Union. You might as well ask why America gives more favorable treatment to Australia than it gives to Albania.

So what is Wallace's problem? Is he ignorant of Middle East reality or is it something more convoluted than that?

After all, Mike Wallace ip Jewish. Does he'fcel that he haa to bend over backwards to prove that he is no cccrct Zionist? ' If that is what concerns him, lie can relax. No one thinks of him as a Zionist or even as a reporter who is sympathetic Lica V/isuiR to Jewish people. No one will ever accuse him of any form Lisa Maureen Wisnia will of .identification with Israel. He's off the hook. So how about a little fair reporting, Mike. Just once, ehow that the become a Bat Mitzvah on March 2 mid 3 at Temple IsIsraelis have a case too. You can do it. After all, if R rael.
