Moral Mai By Kevin Freeman NEW YORK (JTA) The Rev. Jerry Falwell, president of the Moral Majority, sought to alleviate concern within the Jewish community that Christian Fundamentalist support for the State of Israel may be based on efforts to have the Jewish people return to Israel for enmasse conversion. "While I do believe in the imminent return of Christ, I do not believe that there is anything in relation to the Jewish people of the State of Israel that must yet occur in order for the messiah to come," Falwell told some 200 persons at the Theodor Herzl Institute. "So the devotion of most Christians to the State of Israel is not tied to that." Falwell also distanced himself from Christian groups whose primary activ-

Christianity and Judaism — two of the world's great religions — have had a stormy relationship throughout the modern era. For the most part, from the Jewish perspective at least, Christians have been the persecutors and Jews the ones who have suffered. Jewish history is a story of victims — victims of pogroms, expulsions, torture, forced conversion, and a wide range of anti-Semitic attention. Many scholars find ample evidence to show that the reign of terror imposed against Jews has its origin in Christian theological doctrine. , A little more than 40 years ago, the ultimate savjagery occurred. An attempt was made to erase European Jewry. 1 So horrible was the thought and so wicked the acts "that any attempt to describe the indescribable must, by definition, fail. Thus, a seldom-used ordinary word holocaust, has been plucked from the dictionary and renamed Holocaust in recognition of the Jewish experience. Holocaust is now our word, for our personal, unique, unspeakable horror. We share this horror with no one. The so-called civilized world stood by and watched emotionless as our people were dehumanized, subjected to the most hideous torture, and either thrown into pits or gassed and incinerated. • From this darkest of all periods in Jewish history has emerged the State of Israel — a miracle in our time. And with the emergence of the'Jewish state have come some signals that what once was may not always be. Christian theologians now are studying their relationship with Jews and are seeking dialogue to advance understanding and emphasize agreement versus differences. One such dialogue took place last week at picturesque Dana College in nearby Blair. Torah and Gospel: A Jewish-LiUtheran Conversation, brought together Dr. Harold Ditmanson, professor of religion, St. Olaf College, Northfield, Minnesota; Dr. Delvin Hutton, professor of Greek and religion, Dana College; and two of Omaha's most respected educators, Rabbi Myer Kripkeand Dr. Jonathan Rosenbaum. Although the dialogue attracted few in numbers, the impact can only be described as monumental. The Jewish ear heard some rare disclosures from a respected theologian with many years of study attesting to his efforts. The dialogue was conducted in a spirit of mutual respect and cooperation and for a first effort drew much deserved praise from participants and attendees. (See Rabbi Kripke's column on the synagogue page in this issue.) Credit should be given to Dana College, the AntiDefamation League of B'nai B'rith, the Jewish Federation of Omaha, and the Nebraska Committee for the Humanities. Nearby Dana College has demonstrated an interest in Judaism and the Jewish people of Omaha. This is a hand that should be grasped in friendship.

HAIFA — The song, Hatikva, which is sung at Zionist and Jewish meetings the world over, is recognized es the official anthem of Zionism. Many believe it is also the anthem of the State of Israel. This is not GO, and when Pinchas Goldstein, a Likud member of the Knesset, introduced a bill not long ago to give it formal recognition as the national anthem; he ran into objections. The proposal stimulated a meeting of Araba who claimed that the wording of Hatikva, which speaks of a Jewish soul and the two-thousand-year longing to be a free people in Zion, fails to take note of the fact that Arabs also live in Israel. They objected to Hatikva and called for a national anthem which would be acceptable to both Arabs and Jews. Jewish leaders of left wing parties agreed with then and decided to fight the proposal with ridicule. Newsview Magazine noted that this was the first bill ever presented to the Knesset with a musical score in its text. Shulamit Aloni commented, in opposition, that since the exact music score would become part of the law, if adopted, anyone singing it off-key would be technically liable for prosecution for violating that portion of the law which called for punishment of up to a year in jail for "disrespect" of the anthem. Another Knesset member, also against the proposal, offered an amendment: that Hatikva be played only in FSharp Major, to make it more difficult. The Labor Party members present were united in their opposition. They claimed a law was unnecessary, and would deprive Hatikva of its spontaneous, sentimental aura. Further, it 'would exacerbate Arab-Jewish relations. When the vote was taken only 37 of the 120 members of the Knesset were present. Likud members were conspicuous by their absence, and the bill was defeated, 25 to 12. The hope was expressed that some day two composers, a Jew and an Arab working together, would present a truly national anthem which all could sing without reservation. Did anyone consider that this was not merely an idle debate over a song, but a confrontation with a fundamental question: Is- Israel a Jewish State? If so, there could be no objection to Hatikva. And if not, why are Jewish holidays given state status, and why is Hebrew the primary language and why are Jews urged to come here? It would appear that many of the opponents of the bill, in their eagerness to turn down anything suggested by a Likud member, have committed a major faux pas, and have in effect denied Jewish rights to be in Israel and to establish thejr state-here. • Likud members who failed to be present to support the bill are no less guilty than their Labor colleagues who voted against. Their excuse that they could not imagine that Labor would ever vote against Hatikva does not exempt them from criticism. , There is also another unanswered question. When Goldstein realized that his bill was doomed to failure why did he press ahead with it, placing the Knesset in the humiliating position of voting against its de facto national anthem, whatever the reasons. Though denied legal status, Hatikva is played in Israel on all state occasions. A quick look into its history is not out of place. The words were written by a bohemian poet, Galicianborn Naphtali Herz Imber, almost exactly 100 years ago. It was set to music which many believe is taken from Smetana's Moldau, but musicologists have traced it unmistakably to a Sephardi tune for Hallel, published in a volume
Many, of you are surprised to learn when you speak to me or one of the other seven agency executives that the staff of one agency (formerly called departments) have little or nothing to do with the running of the other agencies. "Aren't you one organization?" we are frequently asked. Well, yes and no. For purposes of incorporation, taxes, audit, payroll, secretarial and bookkeeping support, we are one arid the 'community derives considerable savings because of the economies of being one for these functions.

of Sephardi melodies in 1857, 20 years before Smetana wrote his composition, Hatikva became popular first among the towns and villages of Palestine at the end of the 19th century and then made its way to Europe where the Zionist masses sang it enthusiastically. It waa adopted as the official anthem of the Zionist movement ot the Zionist Congress in 1907. Imber was a non-conformist character. Some have called him the first Hebrew beatnik. He had a weakness for drink, and it is told that he was once unceremoniously thrown out of a Zionist meeting in New York when he became a nuisance. No one knew who he was. As he was ejected he heard the audience singing the Hatikva and he commented that they could toss him out, but his song remained. For some time he lived at Dalya-al-Carmel, near Haifa, where he served as secretary to Laurence Oliphant, the Christian Zionist. He died in New York in 1309, after what was said to have been too much liquid celebration on Simhat Torah. He was hardly the kind of personality to become a national hero, but his song struck a responsive chord. Since the establishment of Israel, the final words have been changed. "To return to the land of our fathers, the city where David abode," the version generally sung in the Diaspora, became in Israel "to be a free people in our land, the land of Zion and Jerusalem." If it is any consolation, it may be recalled that even the blue and white flag, with the six-pointed star of David, was not adopted until October 28, 1949, more than 17 months after the State had come into existence. Approval was preceded by long and wearying debate. That flag, unmistakably Jewish, is displayed everywhere in Israel, even in Arab villages, and I have not heard any objection from them on the grounds that it is a "Jewish" symbol. Or perhaps someone has given them an idea now.
By Allan Greene Executive vice president, Jewish Federation of Omaha Of course, certain inconveniences exist with this new system. Questions and problems that community members have with our operating agencies are now referred to the appropriate source within that agency. This is not done as a put off, but rather reflects our non-interference in the day to day operations of our agencies. In most instances the agency executive can resolve most problems. Should there be dissatisfaction with a decision of an agency executive the next step in the process would be to write or call the president of that agency, who may wish to discuss the situation with the appropriate board committee or with the board as a whole. In most coses this step is the final step in the process except in rare instances. v „
One reason for this change was in recognition of the concern that the agency board members expressed.

' By M. J. Rosenberg •, ' I • . Near East Export i This column has been rather rough lately on CBS television. First, it went after Mike Wallace for his rosy reportage ebout Syria on 60 minutes. Then there was strong criticism for Bruce Morton of CBS Eveaiefj News for covering the activities of the Jewish Defense League ea if the JDL were something other than a fringe group. > Now it's time to take a look at some recent work by Fred Graham, the CBS law correspondent, who acted as moderator on the April 1 edition of Fees the Nation. It could be argued that Graham doesn't dseerve brickbats because he is the law reporter one who gives competent coverage of the American legal system and the ramifications of a particular law or ruling. But then why was he .chosen to moderate the April 1 news chow, which was devoted to Jewish political power? He knows so little about the area that when one of his guests referred to President Reagan's Sept. 1, 1982 peace plan, Graham asked-. "Which peace plan?" But ignorance of the issues was not Graham's only problem. He opened the show by asking "vihethei Jeviiah political clout may be exercising too much influence in American politics and foreign policy." At another point Graham asked if "ethnic politics in this political yeat could deflect the United States from its own best interests and further erode our relations with the Arab world?" Graham's questions indicate a belief that America's own interests are served not by support for Israel but by improving relations with the Arab world. He Eeems to feel that it is Jewish political clout — not calculations of national security — which produce pro-Israel policies in the U.S. government. Graham put it this way in a question to Sen. Alan CranBton of California. "You are one of the Senators who receives a large amount of Jewish contributions, and you have been undeviating in your support [for Israel]. Now, don't you think that raises the question whether you can be unswervingly for American interests when so much of y o u r f i n a n c i a l s u p p o r t comos from J e w i s h Bourcea?" Graham's question was simply incredible. In suggesting a conflict between accepting campaign contributions from Jews and pursuing the national interest, Graham read the American Jewish community out of the U.S. body politic. f . • •• Fortunately, Alan Cranston was there to give the appropriate response. "As to the influence of the Jewish lobby in America, the influence of Jews in America is an example of democracy at work. Jews have been subjected to discrimination in our society . . . and the fact that they are able to represent their views is an example of democracy at work." The American Jewish community ^and others in the proIsrael community) lobby for aid to^ Israel to prevent its destruction by enemy states. But this lobbying is done in the aure knowledge that support for Israel is in America's best interests. It is ironic that opponents of aid to Israel criticize U.S. support for America's strongest Middle East ally while they themselves urge a more loving approach to the Syrians, Iraqis, Libyans, and others who openly oppose and often sabotage American initiatives around the world, But there is another point as well. The American Jewish community is not a one-issue community and never had been. Jews have been in the forefront of every major initiative for social justice in this century. Critics like Fred Graham suggest that candidates "pander" to Jews when the stress Israel in their appearances before Jewish audiences. But the fact is that discussing Israel with the Jewish community is simply good politics. Israel is the one issue on which there is virtually total consensus in the Jewish community. Jews, like other Americans, are listening when candidates address all the issues. But when they come together as American Jews they expect the candidates to discuss Israel and anti-Semitism, concerns that all Jews have. There is nothing strange about that. Fred Graham should turn away from his law books for a bit and watch American politics in action. He might then have a better understanding of democracy and how it works.
The film was directed and photographed by Jim Brown, director of the award-winning film "The Weavers: Wasn't That a Time," and the film "Woody Guthrie: Hard Travelin;" both shown on the Public Broadcasting System. At a reception at the Kennedy Center before the showing, Brown said he had always been on the left and had never believed that such conditions existed in the Soviet Union until he made "Musical Passage." . The film may, to some, raise the issue of why these musicians and other Soviet Jews did not goto Israel. It is not mentioned in the film. Yet the message that comes across is so true because of its natural manner that one can allow the issue to go by at least for this hour and 15 minutes: At one point Gosman says that he and his fellow emigres are lucky to be in the U.S. One of the other Soviet Jews challenges this, noting that they made the luck by being willing to fight for their emigration. Gosman said it is still luck when he thinks of the thousands sti\\ in the VSSSR who want to leave and can not. "Musical Passage" opened in New York March 21 and will be released soon across the country. It will have an impact on those who see it. It is a shame that it will not be seen where-this impact i s most needed — the Soviet Union.

Parashat Emor By Rabbi Myer S. Kripke For the Jewish-Lutheran Conversation held at Dana College in Blair last Thursday (April 2Cth) I found myself preparing a piper on "Jewish religious insight — its continuing'relevance." The subject really was "Jewish spirituality," which may leave Jews with only a questioning look but which strikes an immediate chord of understanding with Christians. For the standard Christian cliche about Judaism, cherished as part of a theological stance about Judaism for many, many Christian centuries, was that Jews were "unspiritual," that Judaism ceased to be a real religion when Jews were indifferent to the claim that Jesus was the expected Messiah. Thus the Jew became in Christian thinking a body without a soul, a vestige only of the religious, spiritual pre-Christian Israel, a zombie without God,, without spiritual moorings, without faith, without hope. The standard Christian assessment was that Judaism was "law-ridden," that _Jews thought the essence of religion lay in dietary laws and Sabbath restrictions, etc., when in fact real religion lay in faith, faith in the Messiah who had conquered sin and conquered death for all men.
evance and legitimacy of Judaism as a faith alongside Christianity, and Christianity alongside Judaism. If this sounds commonplace to Jews (so what else is new?), it is by no means commonplace to Christians. It is a clear statement that a cherished Christian puttingdown of Judaism, centuries old, is simply wrong, wrong and must be abandoned. An immediate corollary is that conversion efforts directed to Jews are wrong and must be abandoned. It is hard for Jews to realize how drastic a step this is for Christians." I am sorry that only a small number of Omaha Jews took the ADL's invitation to come to Blair to hear Dr. Ditmanson and the rest of the Conversation. But, to repeat, what else is new? As always, I refer to our Sidrah. in discussing the Festival of Sukkot in its place in the table of the festivals, our Sidrah calls for the Lulav and the Etrog for use as thanksgiving symbols' at the time of the fall harvest. And in my paper I referred to them. ' On one of the walls of our living-room there is a tiny Ben-Zion painting, no more than three inches by six, of a Jew in his Tallit, holding his lulav and etrog.

Ben-Zion likes his figures to Happily, these cliches are be strong and. full-bodied. outworn and obsolete But the painting ia beautiamong a growing body of ful, for the Jew is beautiful. sensitive, intelligent, and He holds his head'erect and "spiritual" Christians,"in- his eyes are closed.

Reagan on /right course' for helping Soviet Jews By David Friedman WASHINGTON (JTA) — Morris Abram, chairman of the National Conference on Soviet Jewry, said that the Reagan Administration is pursuing the "right course" in the effort to help the Jews of the Soviet Union. "It is an issue which I think the Administration is concerned about and is pushing," Abram said after a dozen national Jewish leaders met with Secretary of State George Shultz for an hour at the State Department. "I wish Bome of the Western allies were equally as vigilant on behalf of this international human right1." Abram said the purpose
of the meeting was to follow up the one held before the recent European Security Conference in Stockholm and to urge upon Shultz "a continued perseverance and determination on behalf of the rescue of Soviet Jews." Three major issues in connection with Soviet Jewry were raised. The first was a lack of emigration. Abram noted that there are at least 350,000 Jews who want to leave the USSR. He said the second issue was to "protest anti-Semitism which 18 rampant still in the Soviet Union." The Jewish leaders also protested "the use by the Soviet Union and its allies of the United Nations as a megaphone to broadcast anti-
Semitism throughout the world," Abram said. "The Soviet Union is unfortunately the only great power since Hitler to use antiSemitism as an instrument of national policy." Abram eaid Shultz "is totally committed to the res.cue of Soviet Jewry and we think that he is on the right course which is the course of determination and the course of perseverance." Shultz "expressed disappointment that the trickle of Jews that are leaving the Soviet Union is still a mere trickle," according to Abram. "He is not able to say when it will increase, but like ourselves, he is confident that he is on the right course and that eventually
there will be an amelioration of the circumstances that presently exist." Abram stressed that Israel can only protest the situation. He noted that Shultz has brought up the issue of Soviet Jewry in all of his meetings with Soviet
Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko and has instructed his ambassadors to raise the issue in their meetings with Soviet officials, not as a "throw away item," but as a "front-burner issue." Abram expressed the
NEW YORK (JTA) Former Israeli Premier Yitzhak Rabin warned last, night that if the Jewish people, fail to meet "the challenge of aliya to Israel," it might have an impact on the future of the Jewish State. Addressing an Aliya Assembly at Congregation Kehilith Jeshurun here, sponsored by the North
Americu Aliya Movement in conjunction with the Israel AUya Center, Rabin, pres. ently a member of (be Knesset and a leader of the opposition Labor Party, said that the issue of aliya is the "most important" issue facing Israel today. "I believe that the question of how many Jews will live in Israel is, in the long
hope that Konstantin Chernenko, the new Soviet leader, might allow emigration to increase because of his closeness to the late Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev, under whose regirn-i more than 250,000 Jews left the USSR.
Aliya run, more important than the issue of Lebanon, or the P1.O," Rabin declared. He said that "everything would have been different" as far as Israel's standing in the world community and its relations with the Arab countries is concerned, if there were in Israel today six or seven million Jews instead of on\y 3.5 minion.

By Aaron Pollak Cub reporter I want to tell you about a great experience in my life. I went to the Rose Blumkin Home and I interviewed a man named Kive Hornstein. Kive is one of the caretakers of the Synagogue at the Blumkin Home. Kive speaks Yiddish as well as English. He owned a grocery story on 1414 North 42nd Street. The name of his store was the 'Federal Market.' In October of this year, Kive will be 94 years old. Kive is an Orthodox Jew who came to the United States from Russia in 1914. His hobbies are chess, checkers and gardening. He loves children. He is one of the most interesting men I know. I met Kive when J went to the Rose Blumkin Home for a school project.
