GROSSINGER, N.Y. (JTA) — Cantors attending the annual convention of the Cantors Assembly, the association of Conservative cantors, were urged to prepare for changes in the Conservative movement which would give an equal role to women as rabbis and cantors.
emotional issues, but we can influence their direction best if we help to initiate changes rather than merely respond to them." Cantor Samuel Rosenbaum of Rochester, N.Y., the assembly's executive vice-president, said "we must cast aside emotional prejudices and learn to adjust to women rabbis as colleagues." On woman cantors, he said "we will be bound by whatever Halachic decision is made by.the (Jewish Theological) Seminary. The issue will soon arise. When it does, we must deal with it with understanding."
"Let us not fight these signs of growth in our movement," said Cantor Ivan Perlman of Providence, R.I., who was re-elected president of the Cantors Assembly. He told the 300 delegates that "They are admittedly
Dina Bloom's father, Ben Himelbloom came to Omaha in 1913 through Galveston. He was sent here because a baker was needed by an early Omaha business. Eventually he opened his own Himelbloom's Bakery at 1511 North 24th street. Other Jewish residents of the Omaha, Lincoln and Council Bluffs communities are members of families who came to the United States through the Galveston port of entry in the early 1900s. Their story will be seen in the film "West of Hester Street" that will be shown in Omaha for the first time on Wednesday, June 20'at the second annual meeting of the Nebraska Jewish Historical Society. The meeting, open to the entire community, will begin at 7:30 p.m. in the Jewish Community Center theater. A reception will follow the screening. In conjunction with the showing of the film, a display will be presented in the JCC Gallery of letters from the Industrial Removal Office to members of the Omaha Jewish community asking for their assistance in bringing immigrants to the Nebraska area. Many persons were assisted by relatives once they got to the states, others were assisted by the Omaha Jewish community. The IRO found jobs for these immigrants and helped to provide security for them as they come with their families to the midwest area of America, many of them without relatives, or friends. According to recent reviews ,of the documentary film by Allen Mondell and Cyn-
By Gil Sedan JERUSALEM (JTA) —.The Belz Hasidim will errect what they said will be the world's largest synagogue on 1.75 acres of land in Jerusalem. It will be built at a cost of $12 million, and when completed some time in 1987, will accommodate up to 4,500 worshippers.
The architect, Yizhak Blatt, who designed the edifice, said it would be a close replica of the Belz synagogue in Galicia which stood on a hilltop from 184.'! until it was destroyed during the Holocaust 100 years later.
Cornerstone ceremonies are expected to be attended by most of the 10,000 Belz Hasidic families living in Israel and 8,000 others who will be flown here for the occasion on 27 special flights by El Al.
Belz Hasidim who survived the Holocaust re-established their movement's center in Jerusalem where they are building a residential and education complex to be known as Kiryat Belz. The new synagogue will be its centerpiece.

stones, as ordained by the Torah. "I do not claim that this altar is the altar Joshua built, but I do claim that we have here a highly important ritual center," Zartal told reporters. "The indications this discovery gives fit in with the Biblical traditions."
According to the archaeologist, Adam Zartal, the altar, used for animal sacrifices, dates from the period of Israelite settlement of the 13th to 12th centuries BCE. It measures 28 by 21 feet and was made of unhewn
Zartal added: "It is the first time in archaeological research that an Israelite ritual, center has been uncovered with a full scale burnt offering altar that can teach us how our religion started."

The Mondells tell the story of Jewish im- limitations on immigration and unbearably
crowded conditions prevailed on New York's Lower East Side. A new plan was needed to enable more Eastern European Jews to leave their homeland for America. Jewish leaders, including Wall Street banker Jacob H, Schiff, founder of the Galveston Movement, Israel Zangwill, a British playwright and novelist who headed the Jewish Territorial Organization, Morris Waldman, the manager of the Jewish Immigrants Information Bureau and David Bre'ssler,- a social worker with the Industrial Removal Office, met in Schiff's office to formulate a plan to encourage the predominantly Russian Jews — fleeing the pogroms of the early 1900s, to enter the United States through Galveston rather than through Ellis Island. They could settle in the western states where land and jobs were more plentiful. Ultimately, the new plan began with the first ship arriving in Galveston in 1907 with 1,500 Christians and 86 Jews aboard. By the time the movement was curtailed seven years later, 10,000 Jews had come through Galveston. The Mondells began researching the Galveston movement by reading the back copies of the Galveston newspapers. They also researched Galveston immigration at the American Jewish Historical Society,; the American Jewish Archives; The Barker Collection at the University of Texas where the papers and photographs of Rabbi Henry Cohen are. kept. .

AZA#100 the'Sfc "• Editor's note: ' With this column, Susie Fellman completes her term as editor of the Jewish Press high school column. We are actively seeking a successor, and those who are interested may call Morris Maline at 334-8200 for information. Well, folks, this is it. This is my last column for Class of the '80s. I guess it's time to move on. I've had a fun year writing this column, I hope whoever has it next enjoys him/herself and takes advantage of the great opportunity that he/she has to use journalism skills in a creative way while getting to know people better. I've learned a lot about writing, interviewing,.meeting deadlines,and creative thinking in the last few months, and although I was sometimes criticized because of my work, I feel I did my best and I'm proud of my accomplishment. I hope to be able to continue with journalism in college; I plan on joining the newspaper staff as soon as I get to school. I will be attending Brandeia University, the newspaper there is called The Justice. I don't really know anyone on the east coast, so school will be an entirely new experience for me, and I'm looking forward to it. This summer I will spend my summer basking on the shores of Devil's Lake in Webster, Wisconsin. For those of you who have never heard of Devil's Lake, it's the murky green puddle on the shores of which was built Herzl Camp. Herzl Camp ia a second home to me. • I have spent a total of seven summers there, five as a camper and two as a staff member. The atmosphere of camp is something that cannot be described in words, as any past or present Herzl camper could tell you. I'm not sure what exactly it ia that makes Herzl so special, but I'm hoping to find the same sort of "something" at school next year. I really don't know what to write to say goodbye to a job and a place that have been home for so long. I'll miss Omaha (yes, I admit it), the Press office on quiet Sunday afternoons, and even typing at 7 Monday mornings to meet very, very last-minute deadlines. I'd like to thank Morris Maline for being a more than kind editor. He more or less gave me carte blanche and trusted me. I'd also like to thank whoever read my columns, . I hope you enjoyed them as much as I did. Until later, goodbye, Omaha, it's time to move on.

New York has unique "thank you" Blacks and Jews Several weekp ago, State Senator Ernest Chambers made some uncomplimentary remarks about Jews on a Channel 7 television program called Kaleidoscope. The ADL/CRC committee and the Jewish Federation responded to Senator Chambers by mail, and a copy of this letter was published in the Jewish Press. It is of significant interest, therefore, to find'that pollster and political analyst Louis Harris has some comment on "remarkable agreement" between blacks and Jews on political and social issues. According to Mr. Harris, there also is substantial agreement between blacks and Jews that the Rev. Jesse Jackson was dead wrong when he made his Hymie remark.
By Barbara Simon, Foundation consultant i Donors to the endowment funds at the Federation of Jewish Philanthropies of New York are thanked in a unique way. Our Federation Foundation, embarking on a program to interest our community in establishing permanent endowments, is considering sume of these ideas. Each year, everyone who lias bequeathed any amount to the New York endowment has his or her name inscribed in their Memorial Scroll. In addition, when the legacy exceeds a certain amount (set by their Board of Trustees) the name is inscribed on a plaque on the Memorial Wall in the Board room of the Federation. The wall's several thousand names are seen daily by countless volunteers who come to the room for dinners and meetings. In addition to the Wall and Scroll, they hold a Memorial service each year between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur to which the family and friends of all the previous year's donors are invited. A short service with a eulogy and chanting by one of the community's cantors is followed by a formal thank you from the Federation president. He interprets how the funds will help the Federation continue its work. Then a rabbi leads responsive reading and all the donors' names are read. The service ends with the recitation of the Kaddish. The New York endowment director reports that on the same day the service is held, the Federation runs a three-
quarter page ad in The New York Times listing the names of all those who will be memorialized at the service, along. with a message of appreciation. The same ad runs in their Jewish press. In New York, the endowment committee keeps up their "thank-you" program year-round. When the Federation receives notice of a legacy, they send the executors and/or the family a letter of appreciation immediately. Sometimes the donated sum is received right away; sometimes not for years. When the Federation actually receives the money, the donor or executor for the estate is asked to supply the list of family members so they may be invited to attend the Memorial service. In addition to memorializing the donors of bequests, the Omaha Federation Foundation is examining appropriate "thank-you" programs to honor the living who establish funds during their lifetimes. Bequests and endowments often perpetuate not only Jewish life and values in a community, hut also the names and memory of loved ones and families. In our planning and thinking about our new Omaha Jewish Federation Foundation, we are looking for meaningful ways to do both. For more information about the Federation Foundation, call Allan Greene, Federation executive vice president; 3348200.
New York, NY — The secular status of this country and its public schools is being threatened by a concept of the U.S. as a Christian state held "fervently and widely" by millions of Americans, according to Dr. James A. Wood, Jr.,'director of studies in church and state at Baylor University, Dallas, TX. Dr. Wood discussed the "Christianization of the Public Schools" at a session of the National Commission meeting of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith here at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, May 30-June 3. . He described Christianization of the public schools as "a major force in American politics with an agenda largely orchestrated by the New Religious Right." As a result, he asserted, the public schools have become a battleground for key political issues, the resolution of which "will be crucial not only to the public schools and to public society but also to the nation's future as a free and pluralistic society." Dr. Wood said "scapegoating the public schools has virtually become a national pastime — a way of explaining many of the causes of the nation's social ills." The charge that the public schools are dominated by "secular humanism," he went on, "is increasingly being made the basis of a wholesale indictment of American public education." "Those who condemn 'secular humanism' as incompatible with the guarantees of the First Amendment," Dr. Wood pointed out, "at the same time argue the case for the viability of parochial schools and justify their right to public funds." : The charge of "secular humanism," the speaker said, is deeply rooted in the notion that neutrality on religious questions in the public schools equals the teaching of secularism as a religious philosophy.
This pejorative, the speaker declared, is offered by many as evidence of deterioration in academic achievement and moral values in the public schools. The indictment is dangerous, Dr. Wood asserted, because "secular humanism remains largely undefined by those most prone to employ the term against the public schools." Somehow, he said, the term has become equated with secularism and, therefore, destructive of all religious and moral values. "Unfortunately," Dr. Wood noted, "the attack on secular humanism in the public schools is all too often a thinly veiled attack on the public schools themselves — Their academic freedom a.nd their integrity. "Much of the myth," he continued, "has been predicated by those who seek to Christianize the public schools, to make them more responsive to their own particular religious values, rather than remain schools in which a secular or nonreligious approach to the study of history, science, government and literature prevails." "Quite properly," he said, "man and human values should be the focus of public education, just as God and religious values are the natural focus of religious education in homes, churches and synagogues. Programs in religious education and parochial schools have their own reason for being and should not be defended at the expense of an indictment of public education. "America's public schools are necessarily committed to human values, human achievements and human capabilities, in which the activities, interests and historical development of man are made central in education. It is for this reason that public schools enjoy the support of public funds while parochial schools, committed to a particular religious world view, are denied those public funds."
(Mr. Chambers made his remarks during a rally in support of the Rev. Mr. Jackson.) Mr. Harris now points out that 76 percent of Jews condemned the Hymie statement and 58 percent of blacks also deplored it. Mr. Harris also said that Jews are more sympathetic than most other non-black Americans with the aspirations of blacks to achieve equality. In one survey, he said, 43 percent of blacks believed the proposition that Jews have supported rights for minorities more than other white people — as against only 23 percent of blacks who did not subscribe to this belief. . Mr. Harris told some 400 Jewish community leaders in New York recently that some of the political and social matters on which blacks and, Jews agree are perceived discrimination against both blacks and Jews, the need to end such discrimination and the old Ben Franklin admonition that we either hang together or hang separately. The survey findings also show that blacks and Jews are not that far apart in recognizing that Jackson is becoming an important force in politics. Where Jews and blacks part company, he said, is in their overall positive/negative assessment of Jackson. What worries Jews most about Jesse Jackson, he said, is their concern that Jackson has made remarks that appear to them to reflect anti-Semitism..

To the Editor: Webster's Collegiate Dictionary defines brilliance as brightness, splendor, intellectual keeness, etc. Chuck Arnold of the JCC staff team certainly exhibited all of these qualities as well as understanding, compassion and leadership, during a training session he led for my summer staff team this past week. Chuck was truly a brilliant teacher as he worked with the staff to broaden their base of knowledge as human service workers as he helped prepare them to begin working with several hundred youth enrolled in 14 different programs. " Chuck was very receptive to come to our south Omaha agency and give freely of his time, energy and area of expertise. Worthy of note is the fact that he came on his day off. The Jewish community is indeed fortunate to have a man of his stature as a member of its professional staff team.

The scouts who spied out the Land of Israel for Moses described it as a land (lowing with milk and honey. (Probably they meant goat's milk and date-palm honey.) And indeed, compared with the desert areas the Israelites had traversed, the land was very good. It was a land-of brooks and fountains, of rich deposits in the rocks of its hills, and of agricultural produce beyond anything they had known (Deut. 8:7-9). All of this is comparative, of course. Today Israel would gladly give up the modest copper mines it has for a fully flowing oil field or two. And Israel's agricultural achievements, unprecedented and unmatched in the Middle East, have been reached in inhospitable soil by dint of extraordinary utilization of meager water resources and patient scientific agronomy. The breadbasket we live in here in the Middle West of the United States is infinitely more lavishly , blessed by Nature than Israel's grudging soil and climate. Everything is comparative. Nature has a way, though, of making a land and its people spiritually inseparable. Who has not heard Americans from lands as
different as Scotland, Poland, the Sudan or what have you, even if they had fled persecution, extolling the beauty of their native lands, the wonderful climate, and the way the sun shines there-? ; It is not unusual, then, that ancient Jews should have extolled the Land of Israel and its beauties. The Talmud extravagantly remarks that whatever virtue comes to mind, nine parts of it became the possession of the Land of Israel and onetenth only was reserved for the rest of the entire world! Nonetheless, it is far beyond the usual that Jews should have held a central part of their hearts open to Eretz Yisrael for almost 2000 years, long after the warmth would normally have cooled down. No other people has ever displayed anything like this .. .Only the Jews .. . and only the Land of Israel. It is instructive to recall that in the early years of the Zionist Movement, when Theodor Herzl was knocking in vain on the doors of the chancelleries of Europe, futilely seeking a haven for Europe's battered Jews, places in Africa were offered to him, particularly Uganda. Herzl himBelf, and others were eager to accept these offers; at least they seemed to be a "nachtasyl," "a ref: u'ge for the night."
Jonathan Saul Fischer will celebrate his Bar Mitzvah, June 16 at Beth Israel Synagogue. He is the son of Steve and Jan Fischer and brother of v. 4 Mindy Fischer. Grandparents are Herb and Esther Meiches and Bernie and Dorothy Fischer of Encino, CA. Jonathan, who will be an eighth grader at Millard Jonathan Fischer North Junior High, enjoys trail bike stunt riding and summer at the Basset-Martennis. He has been ac- tin Tennis Camp in Santa cepted as a student this Barbara, CA.
To'the credit of the Russian and other East European Jews who needed the refuge the most, they scorned any land other than Eretz Yisrael. They instinctively knew vvhat Herzl, an assimilated Jew, did not, — that a national revival of Jews was possible only in the national homeland. The Bible does not proclaim that "from Uganda comes To rah and the word of the Lord from Entebbe," but "from Zion" and "from Jerusalem." The "territorial movement" (any place in a storm) soon died; and Zionism focused on Eretz Yisrael. If it is not a land flowing with oil — or even with milk and honey — it is a land flowing with the great ideas of Judaism. It is a land where men confronted God and where God confronted men with the concept of human duty. It is the land of Torah, of ethical sensitivity, of the concept of brotherly love, of peace, of freedom, of human redemption. Moses' scouts, save for Joshua and Caleb, were afraid to face the human opposition before them. But modern Zionists, from the Hoveve Zion to the halutzim.of the early Aliyot to the Olim of our day, have not flinched before opposition. They have proceeded resolutely, bravely, ethically, despite opposition. The result is Israel, the Middle East's only democracy.

I had almost forgotten what it's like to htar a kid say "everybody has his (her) own car but me". Or "I didn't realize it. was so late — but you shouldn't have worried anyway". Or "why shouldn't my friends and I hitch-hike across the country . .. what could happen?" Among; my young friends these are not totally unfamiliar phrases. 1 can still remember a certain feeling in the pit of the stomach. It comes at 2 in the morning when the kid with the new driver's license (and little experience) is still out and the sirens are screaming!' Or how difficult it was to explain the differences between "how we do it at our house" as opposed to how "everybody else" does it. It seems to me that most young kids, just by virtue of the growing up process, are completely capable of producing an ulcer in any parent. Having been through all that business once, I find that I don't envy those who are in midprocess. I'll admit I wish I could have some things like they used to be, but they are mostly superficial and as such are not of great import. I mean, it isn't a sin when the flesh on your neck isn't as smooth as it once was. If there has to be a trade-off, maybe the ability to go to sleep and not worry about a dread phone call from the emergency room of a hospital is worth the crepe paper neck! So the bottom line is, I love having you as my friends, girls. You help me feel young. But I'm glad my worries are in a different category now. And oh yes . . . I can recommend a wonderful skin cream when you need it!

PARIS, (JTA) — Jewish war veterans from a half dozen countries and former resistance fighters marked the 40th anniversary of the Allied landings in Normandy. Hundreds strolled along Utah Beach where some of the fiercest fighting occurred and hundreds more placed wreaths at military cemeteries. " The ceremonies were ecumenical and interfaith. As ships of eight of the World War II allied powers cruised close to the Normandy beaches, Christian and Jewish military chaplains chanted prayers for the fallen soldiers. Jewish chaplains were part of the official American, British and French delegations. A French spokesman said no one could estimate the per-
centage of Jewish war dead. A special Jewish service was held however at Caen, the Normandy town where Allied forces first broke through the lines of the Wehrmacht. At the synagogue there, France's Chief Rabbi Rene Sirat dedicated a plaque to the memory of
Jewish soldiers who died in battle. The military attaches of the U.S., Canadian and British governments attended as did a representative of the Minister for Veterans Affairs.A French guard of honor stood at attention outside t h e synagogue.
