By Harry V/tll Director of tlie Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith Israel office in Jerusalem As the Israeli election campaign draws to its conclusion on July 23, most polls and observers give the Labor Party the edge in its attempt to end seven yeurs of Likud rule. Political analysts do not rule out a Likud surge, but time is running short and it appears that the only possible last-minute run \ is that on the dollar which would further loss of confidence in the government's handling of the economy. The Labor Party, playing it cool but not overconfident in the campaign, is wary about making predictions, and with good reason. Memories are still vivid of the 1981 elections when the Likud reversed a preBetty and Hy.man Polsky ponderant tide in Labor's favor.

And shortly. even if Labor does outscore the Likud on July 23, Party Leader Shimon Peres faces numerous hurdles in pasting together a coalition government. • As Israeli campaigns go, this one has been relatively, calm.

NEW YORK — Geraldine A. Ferraro, Walter Mondale's choice for running mate, is a member of Pioneer Women/Na'amat who is as firmly committed to Israel's security as she is to equal rights for women, according to Phyllis Sutker, national president of the 50,000-member organization. In a congratulatory message to the first woman to be designated for so high an office by a major party, Mrs. Sutker said: "As a feminist organization, once directed by Golda Meir, we have always encouraged the representation of women in the highest levels of government office, although as you know we do not endorse candidates. "We are proud that a woman of your high calibre — a Pioneer Woman — has been designated as a candidate for the office of Vice President of the United States."
who dub him "King of Israel" during his swings through development towns and open-air markets. But he has failed to broaden his support or generate much excitement. Nor, for that matter, has the popular and flamboyant Ezer Weiwnan running on his own ticket, lived up to his billing as this year's election attraction. The campaign has been relatively subdued and free of the violence that marred the 1981 elections. Labor has run a low-key, well organized campaign and has benefitted from its short duration. Unlike previous years, its leaders, Peres and Yitzhak Rabin, have set aside their differences in the name of party unity. Together.with former President Yitzhak Navon they have formed a leadership troika that is promoted as greater than any single leader. This tactic has proved successful in mitigating the credibility problem and poor image that has plagued Peres in the past. The Likud, on the other hand, was late in getting its campaign started and raising funds and was beset with the internecine strife that had been the hallmark of the opposition. Worst of all it has no vote-getter to compare with Begin, the man who led them out of the political wilderness. Neither Shamir, Sharon nor Deputy Prime Minister David Levy have been able to ignite the Likud campaign and galvanize its traditional following. The campaign has centered on two major issues — the economy and defense/security v — and on which leadership team.is best suited to handle these issues. Labor has made the economic issue the centerpiece of its campaign, and with considerable success. Inflation in Israel is at 400 percent and threatens to outrun the sophisticated indexation system that kept it manageable. Real earnings have dropped by about 15 percent as a result of the austerity measures taken by the government, and savings lost 50 percent of their value in the wake of last October's bank crisis. The national debt is $22 billion, about the same as Israel's GNP. And the recent run on the dollar has revitalized the black market for currency (about 30 percent difference from the bank rate) and further damaged the Likud's standing.

On Jerusalem, Mrs. Ferraro — an original co-sponsor of legislation to move the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem — said matter-of-factly: "It seems to me that if that's the capital, it's the capital." On the Golan Heights: "There is no way that, if I were Prime Minister of Israel, I would ever agree to its being given back to anyone." Mrs. Ferraro became a member of Pioneer Women/Na'amat at the May 25 meeting. She joined women in 500 clubs across the national who support Na'amat social services for women and children in Israel, including child care centers, agricultural and vocational high schools and community centers, and who work for women's rights in the U.S. and Israel.

Asked how she balanced family and cageneral of Na'amat — drew a warm re- reer, Mrs. Ferraro told the Pioneer Women/ sponse from Pioneer Women/Na'amat's Na'amt Kesher Club: "My husband and I Kesher Club, a group of young professional thought wewere.doing so well when we had women, whom she addressed on May 25. two children.

By Danielle Epstein As usual, M.Z. Yoshanah has been very busy trying very diligently to stay out of trouble and even succeeding sometimes! Since the last installment of "The Life and Times of M.Z. Yoshanah", we had our first rush and a blind date [tarty where some of us were blinder than others. The rush was M.Z.'s annual "Big Slide" rush, and if this editor/historian may say so, it was a huge success despite a few nasty boo-boos from the slides. By the large turnout of typically talkative fresh-women, it's going to be a great rush season! On July 8, some of us entered — the Blind Date Zone.

Surprise, surprise! The summer doldrums were upon us. Oppressive heat and drought 'following cppious rains and unwelcome flooding . had brought much of the nation to its knees. Woe is us. And so it went, a beaten and subdued populace went about its daily task with nothing special to look forward to. Oh, yes, the Democratic national convention would take place in San Francisco, the delegates would be there and thousands of newspeople would be on hand. With all those news reporters, maybe something would relieve us from the boredom of another ho-hum political event — a predictable yawn of a convention. Suddenly, abrupt change. A historic first. Front runner Walter Mondale selected a woman to be the candidate for vice president of the United States. Wow! How did it happen? Did the United States really come of age politically? Is she qualified? Does that matter? The questions came fast and furiously. Why was a woman selected, will she help the ticket, did Mondale buckle to pressure? The answers came. Some people were satisfied, some were not, but all this is insignificant in relationship to the total effect of the decision on politics in the United States. Certainly on the world scene, there is precedent for women serving in top posts of government. One of the greatest examples was a former Milwaukee school teacher who went on to become prime minister of Israel. Yes, Golda Meir, schoolteacher, and a woman, was a world class public official and a good role model for others to emulate. Rep. Geraldine Ferraro already has her place in history, and ao does Walter Mondale and the Democratic Party. . She may, or may not, be the best qualified vice presidential candidate. The voters will decide. But, her selection alone is enough of a refreshing breeze to lift all of us — regardless of party affiliation — out of the summer doldrums.
Yigael Yadin, Israeli statesman general, archeologist and educator, has died. During his lifelong struggle for,the state of Israel, he served as chief of operations and planning for Haganah, the Jewish underground in Palestine; as chief of staff of the Israel Defense Forces; and as negotiator in the 1949 "Rhodes Armistice Talks with Egypt. In December, 1952, he retired from the army to dd archeological research at Hebrew University. During a lecture tour in the U.S., he heard by chance of the sale of four Dead Sea scrolls, and acquired them for Israel through a grant from Samuel D. Gottesman. In 1955, he received his Ph.D. for his book, The Scroll of the.War of the Sons of Light Against the Sons of Darkness, which also earned him the Israel Prize. Continuing his academic career, he led excavations at Hazor and was appointed professor of archeology at Hebrew University. In following years, he led the expedition that discovered the Bar Kochba documents in the Judean Desert Caves and headed excavations at Masada and Meggido. In 1967 he returned to government as military advisor to Prime Minister Levi Eshkol during the Six Day War. ' In 1977 Yadin founded the centrist and dovish Democratic Movement for Change. While short-lived, the DMC was Israel's most successful third party movement, with 16 seats elected to the Knesset. The DMC disbanded after Yadin joined the Likud government of Prime Minister Meriachem Begin, as deputy prime minister.

Are Israelis satisl
HAIFA — "Is everybody happy?" a well known American entertainer used to sing out to his audience, and this became something of a personal slogan of his. Very much the same question was thrown at Israelis a lew months ago, considerably before the elections. This time it was u scientific survey to ascertain a "contentment quotient" of the average citizen. The study was commissioned by the weekly magazine, Koteret Ru&hil, and was carried out by the Dahaf public relations institute. The question was short and precise: "Are you happy in your life, as things are today, or not?" Considering that Israelis usually seem to be as full of complaints as a pomegranate is full of seeds, the results were astonishing. No less than 81.6 percent of those responding gave affirmative replies. Negative answers came from 16.2 percent, and the remainder apparently did not or could not respond. However, when the citizens were asked bow they thought others feel, the figures changed somewhat. The question: "In your opinion, are the majority of Israelis content in their lives, or not?" Only 60.5 percent felt their fellow citizens were content; negative replies came from 35.3 percent. In other words, "I'm happy, but I'm afraid my neighbors are not!" Presumably a distinction was made between contentment in one's personal life, in contrast to satisfaction with the way in which the country is being run, about which complaints are almost a national pastime. Even more enlightening is the breakdown of these figures in accordance with the political affiliation or leaning of
those queried. The Citizens' Rights Party, a left liberal group headed by Shulamit Aloni, came up with a 100 percent happiness quotient. Would this perhaps indicate they are well-heeled members of the upper middle class? The National Religious Party polled 95.8 percent contentment; Tehiah, the nationalist group to the right of Likud, attained 94.1 percent; Likud, 80.3 percent; Labor, 80.4 percent. At the bottom of the list was Tami, the maverick Sephardi religious group, which claims to be the torch-bearer for the under-privileged classes. Only 30 percent of these replied they were satisfied with their lives. Other aspects of the survey: six out of ten Israelis say they are happier today than they were five years ago. Five out of ten, just half, believe they will be happier five years from now than they are today. And finally, figures which should be subjected to close scrutiny by those who seek to combat yerida, emigration out of Israel. Question: If you could make a fresh start, would your choose to make your home in Israel or the United States? In the grand total, 83.1 percent chose Israel; 14.3 percent would have preferred the United States. By political party: The ultra-religious Agudat Israel bloc chose Israel, 100 percent; Citizens' Rights, 90 percent; Tehiah, 88.2 percent; Likud, 82.6 percent; Labor, 82.2 percent; Shinui, a left of center progressive party, 76.9 percent; Tami, only 40%; Sheli, a left-wing pacifist party, also 40 percent. Did present happiness in their personal lives affect how they voted?

It is with regret that we leave the Jack Levey, Aron Zeiderman; Walter Woskoff, Gerald Marburg, Harold Franklin, Charles Mogil, Joe Frank, Harry Shulman, Joe Snyder, Shel RipB, Dave Wine and Haskell Morris families who helped us through our three years in Omaha. To them we give a special "Todah Rabah,'"and we will never forget you. Last, but not least, we thank the staff at the JCC who ' utilized our talents for the benefit of the Jewish Community. We say thank you to Ann Kibel Schwartz, Liz Doherty, •Steve Rod,'Chuck Arnold, Tom Neuman, Morris Maline, Judy Marburg and the JCC "Maintenance Crew." In closing, we say to all of you . . . Our door is always open to you whenever you are in the Metro Detroit Area. May God, in His infinite wisdom, watch over you, always. • i Shalom and L'Hitriot, Shirley and Ben Leet
I read with great interest and nostalgia Art Grossman's article, "North 24th - Street of Memories", which appeared in your April 1984 issue. He truly captured the flavor and essence of North 24th Street as it was when my father's store — The STAR STORE — was in its heyday. How well I remember all the stores he mentions, their owners and their families. Enclosed you will find-a picture of my father's store.1 My guess is that it was taken in 1913. My mother, Esther Marer Levinson, is holding my brother, Herman. My mother's sister, Lena Marer, who was visiting from Indianapolis, is holding my hand. The identity of the woman in white remains a mystery. The man next to her is my mother's brother from Indianapolis, Morris Marer, who was also visiting us. As you may have guessed, Jack Marer of Omaha is my uncle. . . Please feel free to keep this photograph and to reproduce it. ' .. . . Also enclosed is my check for $10, for membership in your Society. Your compilation of the history of the Jews who founded Nebraska — and Omaha '-^- should be of great interest to those of us who come from there and for future historians. My best wishes for your success. Jeanette Levinson
To the Editor: I wish to acknowledge the generosity of the Henry Monsky Lodge. It was through their initiative, especially Harding Collis, who acted on behalf of the Lodge, that the Jewish Community Center was able to offer to the membership two programs free of charge which included lunch, trans-•p'ortation and all other costs. Over 170 children participated in day long trips to Lincoln and the Omaha Zoo. This was far and above the normal participation level when there is a fee. This was a wonderful example of community cooperation for the providing of services and programs to our youth. I want to thank the Lodge, and again, Harding Collis, for their efforts. Thomas P. Neuman Assistant Executive Director To the Editor: • On the eve of our departure for our home in Michigan as new retirees, we wjsh to extend our most heartfelt thanks to the Omaha Jewish Community for taking us in and making us feel welcome. We leave Omaha with mixed emotions; but you parents will-understand our loneliness for our children and friends back in Detroit. ' We would especially like to thank Rabbi and Mrs. Nadoff,

It is a modern fact of life that Americans, American Jews included, move on average once every five years. I am not familiar with how many of those "average" moves are local compared to city to city. As a native New Yorker, whose immediate family still resides in New York (my extended family is mostly in Florida), I am keenly aware of the'difficulty of moving a family to a city such as Omaha. Many of the Jewish families in Omaha have known each other all their lives. They've worked together, attended synagogue and other Jewish events together, their children went to school together, were active in AZA or B'nai B'rith together, went to the JCC together, etc. Many marriages between Omaha families have taken place so that almost everyone born in Omaha has relatives in Omaha. This, of course, is not the case for newcomers to Omaha. In many cases persons are transplanted to Omaha for job opportunities as young professionals or by their corporations. Sometimes by their choice, sometimes because that was their best or only choice. .
By Allan Greene Executive vice president, Jewish'Federation of Omaha They are separated from their friends and families by large distances and need to be reached out to make them feel welcome to the Omaha Jewish community. This role is fulfilled by the Jewish Federation Newcomer's Committee, currently chaired by Terri Zacharia. Host couples/singles are assigned to each newcomer couple/single, as we discover them. We bring them a challah and bottle of wine, our Newcomer's brochure and most importantly, a sense of friendship and caring. Twice a year we sponsor a newcomer's event in an attempt to help our newcomers and hosts to meet each other and to form lasting relationships with one another,, •"'._ Some of our newcomers are transient and will only be with us for.a few years. Some will plant theirrpots in Omaha and provide the basis of the future of the Jewish community of Omaha. ..

Foundation helps young people with scholarships By Barbara Simon Federation Consultant In this on-going series about our Federation Foundation, we have been disi;ussin<: not only how donors can participate in the Foundation, but also where the earnings from the invested principal gq. In other words, who benefits from the income that these permanent funds generate? As some past articles stated, our community has needs among our youth, elderly and community agencies that cannot be met from the regular budgets of our agencies, which are funded by the annual campaign. The special programs and the -special grants come from the income earned on the permanent endowments, now consolidated under the name "The Federation Foundation." Perhaps the kinds of special grants that warm our hearts the most are the many scholarships that the various Foundation endowments grant to deserving young people for college tuition, Jewish camping, Jewish pre-school and all kinds of learning. We are indeed fortunate as a community to have so many donors who value education and who have made scholarship funds available. They make certain that our young people who need help, get it. The soaring costs of education have made scholarships and loans necessary for more students than ever before. Anyone may add to the permanent principal of our existing scholarship endowment funds or approach the Foundation to establish entirely new endowments. In the first half of 1984, 61 young people received financial aid from the Foundation totaling $31,200. These scholarships are granted ^through the Student Financial Aid Program of the Bureau of Jewish Education, whose committee considers applications and makes recommendations for grants and loans. Any Omaha Jewish student may apply, from pre-school age through graduate school age. All applications are strictly confidential. In most cases need plus academic achievement determine who qualifies for a scholarship. In other cases, achievement alone is the yardstick. Here are some of the funds and their purposes: The Beatrice and Nate H. Sherman Scholarship Fund and the Lois Jeanne Schrager Memorial Fund provide college scholarships. The David E. Beber Fund provides loans to Jewish college students, loans and grants to encourage Jewish young people to enter the Jewish professions, scholarships for study in Israel and attendance at Jewish conventions and seminars.

The Sandra Feldman Memorial Fund provides scholarships for graduate studies, while the Nancy and Don Greenberg Scholarship Fund helps only college freshmen. The Esther K. Newman Fund income reaches out to children in the form of scholarships for Jewish camping, travel and study in Israel (Israel pilgrimages) and Jewish day school. And the Carolyn Kully Newman Fund is aimed at children of kindergarten ape or younger whose families may need help providing worthwhile -Jewish experiences for them, such as day camp, JCC classes or pre-school. Part of our Foundation monies help to ensure that no Omaha Jewish child will miss educational experiences because of financial need. Isn't that wonderful! For more information, call Allan Greene, Federation Executive Vice President, or Rabbi Jonathan Rosenhaum, Director of the Bureau of Jewish Education, 334-8200.
New works by two artists, one artist from Omaha and the other from Milwaukee, will open July 29 at the Jewish Community Center. Sara Woskoff, a local artist will display etchings, water colors, and oil paintings. HaYNoch is a sculptor from Milwaukee. "We are very pleased to have both artists exhibiting in the JCC Gallery" said Evie Katz, chairman for the Art Committee. An opening reception will be held July 29. The exhibit will run through Aug. 26. The above photograph is one of HaYNoch's sculptures.
