Omsha, Neb., Frr., April 20, 1884

Jewisfi-Luii'K An afternoon symposium and an evening public lecture will be presented at Dana College in Blair, April 26. The activities, sponsored by the AntiDefamation League of B'nai B'rith and Dana College, are part of a program entitled "Torah and Gospel: A Jewish-Lutheran Conversation." Participants include Dr. Harold Ditmanson of St; Olaf College, Northfield, Minnesota; Dr. Delvin Hutton, of Dana College; Rabbi Myer Kriplce and Dr. Jonathan Ro.senbaum, both of Omaha. Major funding for the project, according to ADL, was provided by the Nebraska Committee for the Humanities.

The program is an outgrowth of guidelines presented in 1971 by the Division of Theological Studies of the Lutheran Council in the United States. The guidelines for conversations between Lutherans and Jews were "to contribute to community understanding and cooperation, to heal wounds of the past, and to understand better our common heritage and common humanity." The program begins at 2 p.m. with registration in Doctors Auditorium, C.A. Dana Hall of Science and continues to 6 p.m. . Dinner will be available in the college dining room at a charge and the program will resume at 8 p.m. with a talk by Dr. Ditmanson.

In order.to ensure the widest possible au-

dience for the film, the Center sought to secure the participation of Elizabeth Taylor and Orson Wells, Ms. Taylor said "I am honored to be asked to be part of such a project," she said, "I will do everything to help you." The film will be shown at the Jewish Community Center on Sunday the 29th, "we are anticipating a large crowd," said Mr. Shukert in order to accommodate everyone we will show the movie twice, first from'2•30:30 and then 4-5:30." , The slide presentation that was put together last year by Marty Shukert and the 1983 committee will be available in the lobby during the showing of Genocide.

Genocide is the story of millions of men, women and children who fell victim to Hitler's Final Solution. Rabbi Marvin Hier, Dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, decided to create a comprehensive film showing that this catastrophe was very much a product of the Twentieth Century. He sought to develop a presentation that would create a relationship between the viewers and the victims; one that would help people personally relate to the story of human beings rather than lifeless statistics.

The news of (lie windfall fortune brought in its wake nol only rejoicing but also several very serious problems that have no) yet been resolved. The sum of 14 million shekels (equivalent to about $130,000) which dropped in the lap of 64-year-old Moslie Keshet, of Kibbutz Hahotrim, was a climax to a story which could well make (i fascinating book.

In 1947 he returned to Hungary, and a year later came to Israel. In 1950 he joined Hahotrim, a pleasant little kibbutz on the coast, just south of Haifa. He married, and lJ-—~^_j today has three daughters, two of whom live in the U.S. Because he was in Hungarian concentration camps he never qualified for restitution from Germany. •I. One of Keshet's hobbies is following the soccer games, and each week he invests part of his kibbutz pocket money in purchase of pool tickets.

As in past years, the charity stag brought together key figures in the sports world with local boosters for a free-swinging evening of fun and hoopla. This year, the program featured witty Dave Blackwell as toastmaster and CBS sportscaster Gary Bender as the main speaker. A novel treat was offered by Husker coach Tom Osborn who in complete deadpanstyle gave his own account of what may be the most famous game in college football. Thus, it went on and on. Laugh upon laugh — a good time,'a good feeling.; It's no wonder that the event has taken on a uniqueness that makes it stand head and shoulders above most benefits. Those attending the stag were told that their support helps to provide funds for a number of institutions both sectarian and non-sectarian. So that all will recognize the seriousness and importance of the event, the beneficiary agencies are listed as follows: The Mayo Clinic Service Center, the Paraplegic Hospital for Veterans, Hillel Installations, B'nai B'rith Youth Organization, B'nai B'rith Anti-Defamation League, Bellefaire Childrens Hospital, Leo N. Levi Hospital, Armed Services Committee, Childrens Home of Israel and B'nai B'rith Vocational Guidance. We congratulate the members of the Banquet Committee, the many ticket sellers and all those B'nai B'rith members and supporters who devote countless hours and amazing effort toward producing this; remarkable event.

of opinion a»i to what siiould be done. Some of the veteran members insisted there was no room for compromise; all the money had to be paid over. Other old-timers, on the <>tl)cr hand, felt the money was tainted, since it had not been earned by e.elf-Iabor, and the kibbutz should not touch it. Others, rebuked Keshet for gambling. But the majority declared they hclicyed Keshet should make his own decision. He deliberated, changed his mind, and finally came to the following conclusion, largely under pressure of his daughters: He would give the kibbutz one million shekels (about $9,000) and keep the rest. Some of it he would give to his children, and the remainder he would use as a fund to enable him to pay periodic visits to his daughters in America. The controversy continues to rage. It is no secret that members of many kibbutzim have outside bank accounts and even own property, usually registered in the name of a relative. Nothing is ever done about such situations, but in Keshet's case the information became public knowledge, and the kibbutz could not ignore the matter. Some of his associates at Hahotrim agree with his decision, namely that he keep the bulk of the money, so long as he does not flaunt his wealth, for example, by driving around in a private car of his own. According to present plans he will go to the U.S. at the end of May for a four month visit, following which he will decide whether to stay there, to come back to the kibbutz, or to return to Israel and live here outside the kibbutz. Much will depend on what the kibbutz itself will decide. The whole problem will be thrashed out at a plenary session of the entire kibbutz membership. No date has yet been set for that meeting, the kibbutz secretary told us. The whole country continues to wait and watch, wondering what the final arrangement will be. An important principle of the kibbutz system is at stake.

V To the Editor: There is a saying that "calamity may be blind, but it has a remarkable talent for locating Jews." There is certainly no better illustration of this point than the Holocaust. The attempted destruction of a nation and the successful slaughter of six million Jewish human beings stands as a testament to one of the greatest tragedies to befall not only the Jewish people but humanity as a whole. There are those who say that the murder of six million Jewish men, women, and children never took place, that is not surprising. However, what is not only surprising but also revolting is the lack of interest and desire on the part of Jew and non-Jew, to remember what transpired. It isa disgrace for a Jew and a non-Jew as well to say, "let us forget that dreadful event," "it has been so long ago nobody cares anymore," "why bring up bad memories?" Those of us who have survived the Nazi nightmare can honestly say.that we do not wish to bring up bad memories, but in fact these memories are a part of our daily lives, we live with the pain and horror of what happened, and it wasn't so long ago either, but above all, we care! We want to talk about what happened because those who marched to the ovens and gas chambers wanted us to remember them. We wish to speak out about the Holocaust because if we don't, it will be forgotten and history may repeat itself. It is not an easy task, an adaptation from the Midrash states this quite well: "the suffering of the Jews in one year could not be recorded even if all the seas were full of ink, and all the reeds were pens, and all men were set to work writing the story." Those of us in Omaha who were .fortunate enough to survive the madness of Hitler have established the Society of Survivors of the Holocaust. The Society has been in existence for some years already and our goal to educate and inform has grown stronger from year to year. Recently, through the efforts and generosity of Sam Fried, the University of Nebraska has brought the study of the Holocaust to is Omaha and Lincoln campuses. A major course on the Holocaust is being offered simultaneously at both campuses this spring an*d it has attracted over 110 students.betw'een two and three times what was anticipated. Plans are also emerging for a summer course to provide special materials on the Holocaust in public and private schools. As part of the spring course in Omaha, survivors of the Holocaust have agreed to give testimony to their experiences in the form of oral histories. TheBe will document the horrors of the Nazis for the children of the present and for generations as yet unborn. Giving such testimony is painful but vital for through such acts similarevents may be prevented in the future. The courses at the University of Nebraska have been funded by the Society of Survivors, the University Foundations, and the Nebraska Committee for the Humanities and the Lihcoln Jewish Federation. The long range goal of the prcSgram is to endow a chair in Modern Judaism and the Holocaust and donors are now being sought. ; •. '" The Society of Survivors invites the entire community to participate in the Yom HaShoah Programs — A Day of Remembrance on April 29, and to remember the six million who .cannot speak but who will never be forgotten.. The Talmud reminds us that "when a student knows

that his teacher is able to answer him, he may ask a question; otherwise he should not." Please get involved with the Society, ask questions, we know the answers, we just need more students. . • Aron Zeiderman Society of Survivors of the Holocaust To the Editor: • As the chairperson of the Passover Taste-In I wish to extend my deep appreciation to Annette Fettman for her talent and time in the kitchen helping prepare all of the dishes at the taste-in. My sincere thanks to Beth Ginsburg, my co-chairman, without whose help the program would not have been the success it was this year. Finally to all of you in the community who submitted recipes for our cookbook and those who took the time to come and taste our Passover offerings or bought this year's cookbook thank you. Doreen Lerner Chairman of the College of Jewish Family Learning To the Editor: Enclosed is the first of a series of editorials by KETV General Manager Gary Nielsen that deal with the issue of hunger and food waste. They are being televised to help inform viewers during the Campaign Against Hunger cosponsored by Channel 7, the Omaha Area Food Bank and the Omaha Area Pantry Association. • The community-wide drive is being undertaken to collect food for the growing number of needy people in our area. We hope you will reprint all or parts of this editorial in your publication or use the information Ss background for yoyr own coverage of or involvement with the Campaign Against Hunger. • The food drive is taking place during the month of April, culminating the week of April 29 through May 5. Hunger does exist in our area, though for many of us, it is invisible. You cannot see the bloated bellies of starvation here -... but any person who has worked in a Pantry can testify that the. need for food is real. Last year, six Omaha Pantries fed 77 thousand people . . . more than twice the number than two and a half years earlier. Soup kitchens dished up 201 thousand meals and 31 private charities provided 3 thousand tons of food. Yet they could meet only a third of the requests.Who are these hungry people? They are the elderly on fixed incomes who must choose between food arid'heat or medicine . . . they are the homeless who must beg for food or rely on the kindness of churches . . . they are the chronically unemployed . . . they are food stamp recipients who just can't make it till the end of the month .... they are children . . . .they are children who go to school on empty stomachs whose rate of learning arid physical growth is slowed by undernourishment. Many of us think of giving food at Thanksgiving or Christmas time. But hunger is a yearround problem. During the campaign against hunger through May fifth, we ask you to remember the less fortunate.

Many Omahans Imve tuken up residence in Israel and live earned the title of "Olim" — immigrants to Israel. I would like to have the mimes and addresses of all such persons so that we can plan a possible1 organization for them. 1 believe many of them probably do not know one another, and perhaps would like to. Also, it would be nice to be able to let them know when Omahans are jn Israel to improve the Omaha-Israel bond. In cities such as Cleveland such organizations have been in existence for many years. In time, I feel Omaha should develop such a group. Perhaps, also, we should review our role in both encouraging and supporting Omaha Olim for the future. Low interest loans and a support group in Israel would be two essential ingredients to making such a concept a reality. For now, we have no such organization, but I am personally aware of at least half a dozen Olim in Israel who are former Omahans. I hope the community will assist me in this endeavor.

Grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Mel Feldman of Schaumburg, 111. and Mr. and Mrs. Dick Martin of Omaha. Great grandmother is Mrs; Jack Sturm of Chicago, 111.

called Yahud) lived at the pleasure of the Persian Empire and as an outpost of it. What did young people have to look forward to? What purpose was there, especially, in living as Jews in a tiny Jewish enclave in a seu of paganism? What point was made by the repetitious offering of sacrifices by (inspirited priests in a meaningless Temple routine? "What profit is it," they complained, "that we have kept His charge?" Can we not hear these complaints of the young people in such a situation? Can we not J)egin now to understand what evoked such a drastic response by Ezra a short time later? Ezra, the acknowledged religious leader around 400 B.C.E., armed with a charter from the Persian government, liberally endowed with per-. sonal charisma, and inspired by zeal for Judaism, won acceptance for Torah scriptures by the people, and, especially, a pledge against intermarriage. It is possible that Ezra's accomplishments are the key to what had bothered Malachi a short time before — the generation gap of his day. It was a young people's weariness with Jewish reli- ' gion and their predilection for intermarriage that aroused Malachi's anxiety. This was the generation gap of his day and this the prob' lem that he needed solved by a hoped-for Elijah. It is highly encouraging in our own society that recent American studies have indicated a strong rapprochement of young people to the ideas and the moral stances of their parents. I hope it is true of the Jewish community too. And it is to be hoped that the new generation of Jewish leadership will have a strong sense of Jewish loyalty and commitment to Torah. It was this loyalty and this commitment, which characterized the generation captured for Judaism by Ezra, about 2400 years ago.

Si fee-ft't In the 1944 Jewish Press of the second week of April, the news items looked something like this: on the front page, a story informed the community about the annual concert of Jewish music to be presented by Cantor Edgar and the choir. Also, a Yiddish production of a dramatic nature was to take place at the JCC. The Philanthropies Men's Division, Joe Rice' general chairman, appointed David Fogel, Nathan Nogg and Louis Somberg to key positions. And this information also appeared that week — "a national organization of B'nai B'rith Girls to serve as a feminine counterpart to AZA, will be created at a meeting of national leaders of BB Women and leaders of BBG to be held in Chicago. The pages of the Press also carried stories captioned "Nazis Begin Wiping Out Jew's of Lodz"; "Leaders asked to aid Jew's in Hungary"; and a letter from President Franklin D. Roosevelt hailing the UJA for "aiding the fight for Freedom". .• • ' The Town Hall Lecture of the University of Chicago Round Table was titled "Political Issues of 1944", and heaven known there were plenty of them! A small item in the paper (almost a filler) claimed there wasn't "a single Jew left in the western Ukraine." And Massachusetts representative James Curley told in glowing terms of the "Jewish contribution to the war effort". There were many reports regarding the goings on of all the many "organizations here in town. Clubs including the Junior Hadassah, Council, UOC Young Marrieds, AZA 1, BB Auxiliary, Round Table, Chalutzair Yisrael, Young Judea, Hadassah and AZA 100. Back then, we also had a regular page of Sioux City news. Some of the stories that April were about the community's Women's Kickoff luncheon for the Campaign, the Youth Division working for solicitations among the kids and about the project of out-of-town solicitations to small surrounding areas near Sioux City. In a nutshell, there were two big news subjects: the war and the Philanthropies campaign. And that's the way it was, 40 years ago.

Hadassah plans regional conference It has always been more or le£3 a mystery to members of both sexes as to what tho other expats of them, Evtn when meeting for the first lime, people often wonder what others are thinking about them, how they are being sized yp. "The first thing I notice is his clothes, what he's wearing, but definitely his eyes are the second thing I notice," Andie Gordman, Burke junior, said. She wasn't sure, but "Guys probably notice a girl's body first," Andie speculated. Andie said she also "Notices immediately if he seems arrogant. On the opposite side of the fence, Brian Yampolsky, Westside junior, first notices "Her smile, among many tilings." "I also notice if she's using bad language, smoking, or if she's incredibly ugly or grotesque, they're all real turn-offs," Brian said. Jason Franklin, Burke sophomore, said he might initially notice a girl by the way she looks, but "She'd keep my attention by her personality, the way she talks, and what she talks about," Jason commented. An immediate negative quality he would notice in a girl is "The way she's acting, if she does or says something really stupid," Jason said. Toba Cohen, a senior at Brownell Talbot, said a guy would capture her attention by "An outgoing personality, and laughter. He has to laugh — if he doesn't laugh, I don't like him." All of those traits are positive, but there are a few telltale bad signs to watch out for. "If he has his hands in his pockets, is slouched over, has on a T-shirt and ripped jeans," Toba.stated. "A girl would keep my attention by how she responds to, my questions, and her general personality," said Steve Zabin, Central sophomore. Although he knows that he would first notice a girl by what she's wearing and what she looks like, he wasn't quite sure what girls look for in guys. "Just generally if you look good, I guess. Stuff like hairstyle and clothes," Steve said. Even though the opposite sex will more than likely remain a mystery to most of us, sometimes a small clue as to what is noticed can be interesting, if not helpful. Strange, isn't it, both views were strikingly similar. .
