< By Morris Malms Thomas P. Cavanaugh, Democratic candidate for Congress in the second Congressional District, said he is "uncomfortable" to have political campaigns preoccupied' with religion. "It's frightening to find that religious influence is rushing into our society," Mr. Cavanaugh said to a •••'? meeting of B'nai. B'rith Breadbreakers last week at Howard Johnson's restaurant. Cavonaugli In answer to questions, Mr. Cavanaugh explained that he is opposed to any effort to have the State involve fckclf in prayer in public schools. "This government was formed, in part, to avoid religious ,persecution,?' Mr. Cavanaugh added. He said also that the Jowiah community of Omaha should recognize that silence on the part of the general community toward anti-Semitic remarks'by a State Legislator should not be taken as support for his views. "These remarks were so offensive to everyone tnat they didn't deserve recognition," he added. ,- .;,, . ' .,

Mr. Cavanaugh said that the priorities of the nation should be directed toward economic development and improving the educational system. He pointed out he entered the political contest with the belief that an individual can make a difference and that he offers the voter an ability to negotiate with both political parties to achieve legislative goals. He asserted that his opponent is unable or unwilling to sit down and talk with the Governor, the Mayor and the State's U.S. Senators. Mr. Cavanaugh said also that his voice would be an effective one in controlling spending. "I am not accepting Campaign money from political parties nor from Political Action Committees . . . I am perhaps the only candidate in the country to be running on small amounts from individuals."

Editor's Note: The following resolution was provided to the Jewish Press by the Rabbinical Council of Nebraska: According to Jewish tradition, it v/an on Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year, that the world was created. Yet, with this oeason, we recognize that humanity continues to arrogate to itself the power of God: it now possesses the capacity to reverse creation itself. All people stand at the abyss of selfdestruction. As Jews the world over gather in their synagogues to pray for life and health, we are reminded of the Biblical verse that says, "Choose life, BO that you may live." (Deuteronomy 30:19). Tesliuvak, self-reassessment is the message of this season. We are enjoined to review our past deeds so as to improve ourselves and thereby merit life. In this spirit of self-evaluation and of hope for all humanity, we the Rabbinical Council of Nebraska, urge our country to exercise moral leadership by initiating efforts to eliminate the threat of nuclear destruction, and we do hereby affirm the following:

1. Support for immediate, mutual, verifiable agreements to halt the testing, production, and deployment of new nuclear weapons systems. 2. Support for negotiated deep cuts in the arsenab of all nuclear powers. 3. Support for early and successful conclusion of negotiations of a comprehensive test ban treaty. 4. Strengthening of command and control over nuclear weapons to prevent inadvertent and unauthorized uss. . We are convinced that such principles can reduce the threat of global cataclysm while simultaneously improving security for all. \ , , The time to act for peace is upon us. We must accept our responsibilities not only for ourselves, but for generations whose ancesters are yet unborn. By our deeds, we truly can affirm creation and, perhaps, mold a future in which swords are transformed into plowshares and spears into pruning hooks. The Rabbinical Council of Nebraska is made of congregational and non-congregational rabbis in the Omaha and Lincoln

The series begins with the birth of Western civilization and the emergence within the glittering empires of Mesopotamia and Egypt of a semi-nomadic people advancing a new idea of God above nature. "Heritage" explores how this small group' of people included, and was influenced by, successive generations of other peoples and by developments in the world at large — (continued on page 2)

When someone is recovering in the hospital, one of their ,/biggest desires is to come home. It's only natural, medical authorities agree; recuperation is often faster in the familiar home environment. And, of course, nobody Ai wonts a hospital bill to ba any larger than it has to be. Too often, patients stay hospitalized for extra days or weeks because they live alone, or because their families cannot provide the specialized nursing they nesd. Kelly Health Care is frequently the answer. We provide the needed skilled nursing care in patients' homes through our Registered Nurses, Licenced Practical Nurses, Home Health Aides, depending on the level of core required. And later, Kelly can supply Homemakers or Live-in Companions, days, nights, around-the-clock, or just as required. Each of our worm, compassionate people is responsible to our full-time Nursing Supervisor. If someone you love is hospitalized, ask your doctor if they could come home with Kelly Health Care. , But if you don't need us now, clip and save this message. It could mean a great deal to you one of these days.

Rebecca Wolfson, 6 Yeah. I think it's a good school because you learn a lot of Hebrew. Most of the time it's hard work. Probably I would send my children here.

Giora Proskurowski, 7 Yes. Because it's a nice school and you can learn Hebrew and you work hard and you don't get so much recess so you learn more.

The latest in a series of suicide bombings directed against American targets in Lebanon thouid force ell of UB to reexamine our perceptions of jthe area. A helpful guide in this itepoet is the current Contemporary Mideast Backgrounder published by the iMedia Analysis Center in Jerusalem. '* Some excerpts end comment follow: Dr. Andrew Mengo, a British analyst of Mideast politics quotes : "thinca aren't as simple cs all that . . . there are i no simple colutions." He warns: "The external appearance misleads us into thinking that what applies in our own countries should alsso apply there. Obviously, one hus somehow to warn people against falling prey to that terrible illusion." A suggestion: become familiar with the constant features of the political process, which have characterized the region • SINCE THE SEVENTH CENTURY. This may constitute,a vital tool in distinguishing between simplistically Utopian illusions and pragmatic expectations. Contrary to the superficial notion which shoots at quick and comprehensive fixes, the Mideast developments have been shaped by volatile inter-Arab politics, and therefore may not be assessed linearly, moving from hell to paradise or vise versa. Rather, it may be argued, their course has been characterized by high mobility, fluidity, diversity, fragmentation, instability, unpredictibility, inconsistency, and on-going conflicts. Such a course of events — predominated and mostly determined by internal and inter-Arab affairs — iB sometimes cyclical, mostly abrupt and usually volatile and undefined. The study of these characterizations is critical, the report states, assuming that they are reflected through the conduct of local regimes, and through the various political arrangements designed and concluded by these regimes. While the aforementioned features of Mideast politics may also be detected in Western societies, it is their intensity and compacted nature which makes their impact uniquely disruptive in the Mideast. For instance, while Western societies are usually unidimensionally fragmented either religiously or geographically, economically, ethnically or ideologically, it is usually all these factors combined — reinforcing one another and accentuating existing hostilities — which has typified multidimensional fragmentation in the Mideast (with rivers of blood to substantiate it).

HAIFA — What-were the new names that made the biggest news stories in Israel during the year just elapsed? In this annual Iloah Hashanah selection we list only names which hnve never tppeartd here btfore. Mcir Kahane, for example, end others, have been litted in previous years. Thesie we not ntfeKsrily the "heroes" of the year; some achieved notoriety of a corf., but a!! were top hcadliners — presented in alphabetical order. Toreza Atsrjhelovici, a non-J&v/ish woman who had passed.os a Jc-\ver.s, end had been buried in a Jowith cemetery in Rishon Lczion, was the center of o ghouli-jh drama when her body was disinterred by Orthodox Eaalots and abandoned in a Moslem graveyard. Under a ruling from the High Court of Justice, the body was reburied in ita original grave, but the episode opened deep wounda in the Becularreligious conflict. Yatcsr Arafat has certainly been in the news before, but he made it big time in Israel this year as bloody fighting in northern Lebanon appeared to tear the PLO irrevocably into battered fragments. Yet Arafat, with his military power smashed, seems Phoenix-like to have survived politically to continue his struggle to destroy Israel. Yona Avruohaii, of Jerusalem, has been formally charged with the killing of Peace Now activist, Emil Grunzweig. Diligent police work gathered evidence which fingered the suspect, but he denies having committed the crime. The trial is yet to be held. j Juotlce Gabriel Bach, chairman of the Central Elections Committee, is generally credited for the cleanest and most peaceful election campaign in Israel's history. The electioneering was generally dull, and the resultp were politically catastrophic for the country, but .the entire undertaking was carried out according to tha highest standards of democracy. Yigal Coken-Orgad stepped into the hottest seat in the Israel government, that of the Minister of Finance. Inflation continued, but his effort to reduce the unfavorable trade balance os a first corrective measure has met with great success. Objective observers gave him "A" for effort under most difficult political conditions. Acaaf Hefetz, a high ranking-officer in the national police department, was suspended from the force by his superiors on charges that he had leaked internal information to the press with the intention of embarassing his commanding officers. The cose against him was based on tapped telephone lines. Israel's High Court upheld the suspension.

Again: Who is aJew? ,

• By Irving Greenberg President, National Jewish Resource Center If the "Who Is a Jew" issue were a commercial product, the FTC would have long ago slapped a cease end desist order on the purveyors on the grounds of consumer fraud. The Orthodox are campaigning to change fi law which currently puts them in charge. They went to insert the phrase al pi hal&cha. (according to the h&kchn) into the Law of Return so that all converts who would be tecogni&ed as Jews (and automatically gain citiwndiip under the Law) would have to have been converted in accordance with halachic requirements. But al pi litltek'a is- exactly the present condition in Israel. When converts apply for Israeli citizenship, an Orthodox rabbi checks'thorn out and their conversion must meet balachic standards. Yet the Orthodox continue to press for the amendment. The issue has brought down governments in Israel; full page ads have been taken out in the New York Timea. If it ain't broke, why are they fixing it? The answer is that this is a matter of internal Orthodox politics. In the 1970s, when Ruosian Jews were coming to Israel in large numbers, the (Zionist) Orthodox rabbinate converted many of their spouses. This \Vae done in accordance with halachic procedures, but they did not exclude those people who they knew would not observe all the laws of Judaism after conversion. The right wing Orthodox who believe that only observance will preserve Judaism and feel less respect for clal Yisrael (the totality of the Jewish people) objected to these conversions. They proposed to add the phrase al pi lial-' acha to the Law, thus implying that the rabbinate was not following halachic standards by making these concessions. With the amendment, they sought to present themselves as true keepers of the Halacha against the modern Orthodox. , .'•'..'•••".• ••.i.-."'1«*.»v. •*••..•'•' •t"""-,''-, As'a side issue, they also Soflgbt to exclude Conservative

to tfie state of Israel." Of course the writers of this declaration included all sorts of disclaimers. The text spoke of a "vital solidarity," "nurturing relationship." But we aii know the implications; they have been stated privately already. They include withholding or reducing financial support and political/communal splits with Israel. The Conservative end Reform movements have a legitimate beef. Israel's democratic process should not be used to get a politically dictated statement that ddegitimates •non-Orthodox spiritual leadership end conversions. Therefore I personally, ts on Orthodox rabbi, issued a separate statement supporting their protest. But the escalation to jeopardizing solidarity with Israel is off the wall. Mind you — they are fighting to preserve the present lav/ which gives the Orthodox rabbinate the authority and forces non-Orthodox rabbis to follow halachic standards to get their converts recognized. What is more, there cannot be much more than five people a year affected by this status issue — and mayba less. (The Israeli Rabbinate does not release figures.) There are possibly 10,000 converts a year in the United States. The aliya rate of American Jews is about 1/20 of 1 percent annually. If converts go on aliya at the same rate as other American Jews, that would mean five people a year are involved. This estimate is probably too generous. Aliya is directly related to a higher level of observance and Jewish education. Orthodox day school graduates go on aliya at a rate four times higher than average Jews (albeit at a very low rate themselves). So the convert's rate of aliya is probably lower than the overall American Jewish ratio. The number involved is probably even lower than my figures since the Orthodox themselves convert some percentage of the converts annually. The best proof is that in all the furor here, no lists or names of good Jews, living good Jewish lives, but converted by Reform or Conservative rabbis, and denied admission by the Israeli Orthodox Rabbinate, have surfaced. In the 1960s one woman, Rina Eitani, by /the official rabbinate if the. non-Orthodox rabbis had who had followed her German Jewish husband to a confollQwed-'halachic'requirements such as circumcision and centration camp was denied Jewish status because her conversion did not meet Orthodox standards. The news was immersion in a mikvah.

More than 30 attorneys^ accountants, insurance agents and other tax advisers'attended the Federation Foundation's frrst-«ndowment seminar Sept. 18 at the Highland Club to learn about the "Tax Aspects of Charitable Giving." Sponsored by the Foundation of the Jewish/Federation of Omaha, the 90-minute seminar featured keynoter Paul H. Feinberg, an attorney in Cleveland, Ohio; and a foMner- assistant general counsel of the Ford Foundation. Mr. Feinberg is considered to be one of the nation's foremost authorities on tax planning for charitable giving. Mr. Feinberg talked about the role of the professional as a catalyst to educate clients about charitable, beneficial gifts. He discussed a number of flexible, creative techniques for tax planning arid 'said that the role of the professional is to let clients- know what techniques are available. It is important for' the"' adviser to'feel comfortable with the var-' ious trusts, funds and bequest vehicles, he said, because there are many which can benefit many clients. The seminar, chaired by Mort Trachtenbarg, chairman of the Foundation Board of Trustees, included presentations by Trachtenbarg ("Background of the Foundation") and by Murray Hi Newman, co-vice chairman ("Why ThiQ Foundation?"). The major point of the evening was to inform professionals abut the Foundation arid to stress the practical ways potential donors can help continue Jewish life in Omaha as we- know-it through legacies, while at the same time receiving major tax deductions.

By now, you've probably read numerous analyses of the results of the results of the recent elections in Israel. I won't attempt in this limited space to review the results, but rather comment on the process. While we in America have toyed with the idea of changing our own electoral college system, whereby a President could

By Allan Greeme E x e c u t i v e vice p r e s i d e n t , J e w i s h F e d e r a t i o n of O m a h a theoretically be elected without winning a majority, the Israeli system appears to this writer as one that is unworkable and unfair. Imagine if in the 1980 elections, John Anderson, who received more than' 5 percent of the vote, could have dictated who would be the President. Imagine if dozens of fringe party candidates supported by religious groups, the KKK, the communist party, etc., could garner enough votes for their candidates to have a major say in the selection of major presidential appointments as the price for their support in organizing a government. No.small wonder, then, with the vote as close as it was in Israel that we may not have a government in Israel with any stability for some time. '• '• Perhaps it is time for Israel to review its electoral system and revise it to a more workable model so that transitions of government in this small democracy are more easily accomplished. The chaos and wheeling and dealing in a country like Israel, surrounded as it is with unfriendly, warlike neighbors, and with an economy with 400 percent inflation, would seem to dictate the need for stable government and an easier process for elections.

Editor's note: Suoie Fellman, former high school editor for the Jewish Preoo, has forwarded an eosay she wrote recently for a course at Brandeis University. The essay is being published with her permission:. By Susie Fellman The stem is beautiful, a shining silver branch twisting upward. Drippings cling to the polished metal, as the wax above melts closer and closer to the silver. The warm orange glow of the flame flickers back and forth, and an aura of warmth and sincerity emanates from the light.. The Sabbath candle, at a close inspection, can symbolize all that Judaism has been through the ages. The candle is beautiful in itself, but the ritual behind it is more meaningful. The beauty of a flickering flame and the melodious chant of the blessing combine with the warm heat of fire to appeal to most of the senses. But the tradition of lighting candles goes back throughout history; it is part of the backbone of a people. As the candle slowly burns and melts away, one con see what it is made up of, and how it has survived through history. At the core of the candle is a wick — strong and unbreakable. As it burns, it sheds light upon the Jewish people. So the Torah and commandments have been unbreakable through the centuries, shining their wisdom upon all mankind. The wax heats from the flame of the wick, then melts and drips freely to form its own unique pattern and design. So have the Jews throughout history, gathering strength and knowledge from the Torah, moved to. various parts of the world, developing unique mini-cultures, within Judaism. - '

Thus the theme involves ell of the shortcomings of our perconal and societal lives as Jews: ignorance of our traditions and our history, mcrriages that erode Jewish numhsra, family life that fails to provide an atmosphere of Jewish values, refusal to support sufficiently our institutions of learning und teaching, indifference to religious practice and idea. A poem is a poem — but it is not to be taken lightly simply because most of us are loathe to give it sufficient attention to understand it. The poem has to do with the most momentous of themes, fitting for the Sabbath of Repentance.

September 10 was the day for our trip to Branson, Mo. 42 of us boarded a bus and were on our way to five days of fun. As usual Dan Greenfield and Al Oruch had the her ready and were prepared to serve a variety of drinks and goodies. Many of the Seniors did a lot of good baking and Morrie and Evelyn Epstein provided us with many sweets. We thank you all for the goodies. A stop was made in Kansas City for lunch, then off to our destination. We arrived in Branson in time to make the Roy Clarke Theatre Show. Frank and Ada Friedman of St. Louis joined our group and also brought many goodies. This show introduced us all to country music and we enjoyed it very much. After we were all settled on the bus, the cast from the show came aboard the bus and thanked us for being at the show. . Tuesday we started our day by singing "Happy Birthday" to Lena Grossman for her 86th birthday, then off to the School of the Ozarks. They had a mill in operation and a very interesting museum of antiques. We had our lunch then off to the Duck Land and Water Ride. This was quite a ride, aa; first we'were on land then' into the water on the same boat. Captain Jim insisted that Mollie, Ruth Klass, Maxine Rosen, Franl^Priedman and myself drive this boat. What a thrill to drive a boat on the Table Rock Lake., In the

evening v»e went to see the "Foggy River IJoys Theatre." Thisfchowwas as good as any Laa Vtgas show. Silver Dollar City was our stop for Wednesday. It was a real fun place. Many arts and crafts, boat rides, train rides and many eating places. Mollie and Dan took a ride on the Water Slide and they really enjoyed it. At 4 p.m. we were off to the Shepherd of the Hills farm, tour and then a buffet dinner. In the evening we saw the ploy and it was different, but enjoyable. Before we could leave Branson, Mollie, Al, Sam and Rosaline, Sis Turner and the Friedmans had to have a helicopter ride. They all enjoyed the three minute ride. Springfield, Mo. was our next stop to see the "Fantastic Caverns." The word fantastic really describes these caverns. We had lunch in Springfield then off to Kansas City. A great finale of the trip was seeing "My Fair Lady" at the Waldo Astoria Dinner Theatre. When we returned to the motel, we were invited to the room of Fanny Manvitz. Her children in Kansas City brought a big birthday cake for her. We all helped her celebrate her birthday — there were 42 of us in her room. Friday morning we were off for Omaha and many of us were sad to see the trip come to an end. On the way home we had a sing along with Margie Nearenberg leading us. A big thank you to Mollie Delman.

A highlight of the luncheon was a fashion ehow narrated by Marlcao Hccbtman. At right, models showed ik variety' of fashions for all ages. They are Etta Epstein and daughter-in-law Sandy Epstein and granddaughter ICari. , , '

By Doris Rosinsky Israel Bonds volunteer Israel's current economic problems have been quoted as an "economist's nightmare" in a report of "The Economist Intelligence Unit, Multinational Business." It pointed out "One third of annual GPD is devoted to Bervicing its heavy foreign debt while a further third is absorbed by massive defense.expenditures." While having a deficiency of natural resources and a commitment to integrate impoverished immigrants, Israel is excluded from its regional markets via the Arab boycott, all this while coping with 400 percent inflation. . . . . • • The report continued, "Yet, duo to its impressive technological expertisa, Israel increasingly displays a good deal of economic vitality... it has become a %yorld leader in the areas' of electronics, aerospace manufacture, medical engineering, agro-technology, computer graphics and software, and alternative energy technology. Israel's innovative R&D (research and development) evolved from their universities and research institutes such as the Technion in Haifa and the Weizmann Institute in Rehovat, along with the influx of scientifically trained immigrants from the West and the USSR. It has produced 20,000 scientists and 28,000 engineers in a population of four million. Nine out of every 1000 Israelis are involved in research in contrast with' 2.5 in the USA, 2.4 in Japan and 1.7 in Switzerland. Each dollar spent in R&D is currently generating from $12 to $15 in exports compared to a 1:7 ratio in 1976. ~" Nearly 50 percent of Israel's exports are now based on locally developed innovations. "Human skill" was the term the World Bank used in explaining Israel's great progress since independence. Bond money is channeled into the Israel Government's Development Budget and is needed to continue funding the research and development needed for Israel's economic stability — but also for the important discoveries that will benefit the world. Following are some of the discoveries in process or completed that have been reported this year in "Israel Profitline: Technology" — a monthly publication. Vaccines for arthritis and MS shown feasible Researchers at the Weizmann Institute, for the first time, isolated and grew in a laboratory abnormal T lymphocites — white blood cells that attack the body's tissues and pro^ duce diseases of the immune system such as arthritis and multiple sclerosis. These cells have been used as a vaccine in animals to prevent the appearance of some MS-like and arthritis-like diseases. Instrument measures oxygen use instantly Research project at Technion has created a monitor that

instantaneously monitors oxygen consumption. Used in intensive care units, operating rooms and infants' incubators, it will improve treatment of diseases affecting oxygen consumption. Information is digitally displayed by a line graph replacing current time-consuming and unreliable methods. Kidney etone detection method developed A new method measures the concentration of calcium in the urine for detection of recurring kidney stones. Previously, drugs given to prevent stone formations were prescribed according to statistics. With this method, dooage is determined on an individual basis and is used in the Urology department of Hadassah hospital. Simplified method detects malformations of fctuo The test, developed at Tel Aviv University, takes three hours and requires a simple blood sample from the mother. It enables diagnosis of congenital defects of the spine and nervous system, several gastro-intestinal disorders and a rare hereditary kidney disease. Instrument to detect MS, brain tumors, hearing loss, retardation .Microprocessor ? generates a sound ,st,iit(u]u8 tjiTQiigh •heqdphones,.attached ejectrob'e's to jeariobes arid scalp'cliaplny three results simultaneously enabling the detection of neurological disorders such as multiple sclerosis and brain tumors, newborns suspected of hearing loss, and can include testing of retarded and autistic children. Instrument diagnosis for osteoporosis A disease which causes loss of bone content primarily found in post-menopausal women can now be detected in its earliest stages. Current X-ray procedure detects damage at an advanced stage. Developed at Hebrew University, it will provide early treatment. Controlled drug-delivery for periodontal disease and epileptic oufferers Researchers at Hebrew University developed a sustainedrelease system for periodontal disease, which affects the supporting structures of the teeth primarily in adults over age 85. Another sustained-delivery system will enable epileptic sufferers to take a single dose of valproic acid per 24 hours. Fiber-high spice reduces need for insulin The spice, fenugreek, has the effect of delaying transfer of glucose from the stomach into the bloodstream. Research over the past 20'years concludes a direct relationship between lack of fibre in the diet and the higher incidence of diabetes, heart disease and digestion problems. Tests involving humans have been approved by the Helsinki committee.

Oil shale Israel has extensive shale deposits — potentially the sourco of about one billion tone of oil. Until now it has not been technically or economically feasible to process. They have developed a dual process — part of the shale will be "retorted'Vto extract a liquid product that can be tsfined; the other shale'B will be ground and fed into suitable burners for "direct combustion." i

At Kalia, on the shore of the Dead Sea, work is nearing completion on a 60-acre, 5000-kilowatt solar pond power station. Normally the sun's energy penetrates the water, as it warms and expands it rises to the surface and is released in the atmosphere. However, if the pond's bottom is more saline than the top — it does not rise but continues to heat up with every passing hour of sunshine. A low temperature turbine generator was developed to circulate hot water in the solar pond leaving the bottom very salty — less salty above and almost fresh water-at the surface. Solar dovlco' heads' iyater iijd generates electricity ' A ' J3eve{op6'd'by'M^yW Uniybrsi^s'fatiiilty 6'f engfneering, the system-eSniWries a cB'^fltSoriarfh^mdrcoll^tor, which heata water, ond phot;6voltaic'cells"wliich'cover the surface of the collector and converts solar energy directly into electricity. First in the world to generate electricity while heating water, the new system will be less expensive to produce since it requires cheaper packaging which makes up one third of the production cost of other solar systems. Cotton waste produces energy and cattle feed Israel had the world's highest cotton yield in 1983 with a national average of 1,434 pounds per acre. On the other hand, it produces 300,000 tons of noxious cotton stalks. A line of equipment was adapted to gather them from the fields, store them and, as needed, feed them into specially designed steam boilers burning 2.5, ton§iof,stalks p/erhour, producing up to 16 tons of steam at .28,atmospheres of pressure at Shaar Hanegev. -, . , ;. While a plant at Kfar Massaryk, which processes cotton seed into flour and other protein concentrates, is using the seed hulls to produce Industrialprocessed steam. And, researchers at Hebrew University devised a way to change useless cotton straw into cattle fodder. Cotton straw contains high amounts of cellulose, an energy source important to cattle and other living things but considered useless because of its large lignin content rendering it indigestible to animals. By growing edible mushrooms on the straw, they decompose the woody lignin leaving the byproduct nutritional for the animals.

To quite fa rather v.d! lr.o..n ItJy, "Ctn \>e Ulk'>" If you have a minute, I'd like to U-ll you about the recent addition to our family. On Sept. 7th. t t 11:30 a.m. Leonard and I became the very pruud parents of u wonderful, brend new son-in-lcw. ,He's a etttijjpin;:, tt.Il, ilne qsteimen of s con-in-kw, already equipped with i.n education, several impressive degrees and a seeufo p!i":o in the working world. Ako included are a delightful s a of saaehaurJm . . . the kind with whom it's c joy Ui chars Iiu.p:iy tventii. The navv arnvul L..eume officially ours in a judge's chambers in New York City when ho end our Lita answered tome questions and signed some pepore. His name ia Scrfje Goldstein, end before he became unybody's son-in-low lie was known as the child of Dr. mid Mrs. Leonid Goldotein of Bel Meade, New Jersey. His Dad recently retired from Rutgers University where he taught for many years. Mrs. Goldstein was also connected with the. university until retirement, and now enjoys tending her beautiful gardens and'turning out gourmet delicacies and artistic creations from her kitchen. Some of the latter were made known to friends who congregated on Sunday, the 9th, for a beautiful garden party reception in Bel Meade. There were many toasts to the newlyweds, many pictures snapped and much gaiety of the kind that naturally is part of such a joyous occasion. There were still guests an hour after it all was supposed to be over, proving (to me, anyway) what a great party it was! Of course not everybody has the opportunity to make such an announcement in her.own column, but since I do, I thought I'd take advantage; After all, isn't this more intemsting than , ; .- ,,••<., . < Mr/ and Mrs.: Leonard Lewis announce the marriage of their daughter. Lisa; to Serge Goldotein, both of New York City. Lisa is the granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jake Wine The groom is the son of Dr. and Mrs. Leonid Goldstein of Bel Meade, New Jersey.

For some senior citizens, alcoholism has beena lifetime problem. For others/it surfaces during later years. An increase in drinking may be their way of coping with the difficult situations that often accompany old age. • For many, retirement years are fulfilling, but for others they are a time of great stress.

The physical impact of alcohol on an older person can be devastating. As we grow older and our metabolism slows down, alcohol stays in the body longer and can do more damage.

Dave gave a resume on the financial status of the group, and mentioned the $1,900 donation this past year for worthy causes by us.

By Ellen Gordman Thirteen years ago, fin article appeared in the Jewish Press telling aixmt the need for advisers for local AZA and BB<J Chapters. I showed the article to husband, Bob. We dtcido-d tliet being advisers would bu an interesting and challenging volunteer project. I became an adviser to Ner Tamid CBG and Bob became an adviser to AZA #100. As part of our responsibilities we attended Sunday meetings, Friday night Oneg ShebbatB, Saturday night partieii. We ciicpcroned dances where the music was so loud we thought we were going to bs rendered deaf for the rest of our lives. We went on hay rack rides where we ended up with more hay in our clothes than on the rack. During a four year period we listened to unhappy teens bemoan the fact that the best years of their lives were a bust. We shared the happy times with our members when they got the dates they wanted, became Sweetheart or Beau, were accepted by the college of their choice. As advisers we enjoyed working with teens and felt a sense of accomplishment as we watched them become responsible young adults. Sure there were problems and frustrations, but I tell you honestly that the good times far outweighed the

bad. Why 'do I write this today. Today in our Jewish community there exists s desperate need for advisers for BBG and AZA chapters. There are no qualifications for this job. All that is required is an understanding of teems End the willingness to give up several hourc each month to attend meetings and chape-rone events. The pay for this work is . not EO great (actually theie ia none), but the personal reward:) will be many. As an advk.er you could help a fcliy teen become more outgoing through her participation in a BBG chapter. You could help a teen learn new skills such as putting out a flyer or planning a program. And best yet, you can make an investment in the future of our Jewish community. If you arc interested in finding out more about being an adviser, call Debra Polsky, Cornbelt Region BBVO Director at 334-8200. And now, as Paul Harvey says, "Here's the rest of the story". Last year our 14 year old son joined AZA #100. And guess who is one of his advisers? None other than one of the boys who. had been a member of the chapter when Bob was an adviser. This proves that the best part of being an adviser is knowing that all of the effort and hard work to help teens develop pays off some day.

This is a job foe a vtewish b o y . . . Editor's Note: Judith Marburg is Managing Editor of the Jewish Prtaa. She sad her husband recently •pent a week at the Arapeho Valley Raach. ; . By Judith Marburg "This is a job for a Jewish boy?" Why does a successful Jewish attorney chuck it all end move his family to the "wilds" of the Colorado Rockies? i Matt Gold did just that. Ha did what many have dreamed of, but have not had the courage to do. And he hes made the transition very cuccetsfully. Add cowboy boots end a ten-gallon hat to his 6' 5" frame and black-beurdiid face, end Mctt Gold looks very inch a cowboy. His, wife, Rarb, too appeals completely ct homo in her jeana, boota laid hat. They ate, in fact, transients from the cosmopolitan life of the Miami, Fla. area. Matt and Barb bought the Arapaho Valley Ranch near Granby, Colo, in 1079. Matt Beys the purchiice of the dude ranch was the result of "mid-life ciisia"; Barb calls it "the fulfillment 6f a-dream". They are, to tiia bciit of their knowledge, the only Jewish duda ranch operators in Colorado. The beautiful and icolat«d ranch to a far cry from Miami where Matt practiced os en attorney. After graduating from Emory University in Atlanta and receiving hia law degree from the Univcroity of Tennessee in 1835, Matt wont on to concentrate on aviation law, a highly specialized legal field. His successful practice, which involved the buying and selling of aircraft and landing rights, took him all over the world and required countless(days away from hia home and family. Matt oaya he reached the point where he. waa not enjoying his work any more. While in India on one particular trip, Matt became ill. Between poor communications, poor weather and a variety of foul-ups, it took him most of a week to reach home. But the last straw came when a brother, who woo also an attorney in Miami, was shot and killed by an intruder while working in his office. Life in Miami was no longer pleasant — or safe. This still does not explain, however, how the Golds came to buy a dude ranch. They and their three children had always enjoyed weekend riding. They had even vacationed at a couple of dude ranches, and they loved it. How wonderful, they thought, to own one. After the first flush of excitement died down, they considered the pros and cons carefully, even deciding who would be responsible for various facets of the operation. Then they had to locate a ranch that waa for sale. The Golds expressed their interest to some friends who were members of the Colorado Dude Ranch Association and were invited to attend the annual meeting that fall. It was at that meeting they learned of the possibility of purchasing the Arapaho Valley Ranch. The owner was thinking of putting the ranch up for sale and retiring, however he was involved in a dispute with the National Forest Service as to whether the land should remain private or become part of the Arapaho Valley National Forest which surrounds it. He would not even permit the Golds to look at the ranch until the problem.wns resolved. So they returned to Miami empty-handed. Finally, on a cold day in January, with snow all around, the Golds had their first view of the ranch they were to buy. Driving down the road, even before they actually saw it, Barb sayB, they knew it was the right place.*, "Intuition told us this was it!" And so, without any experience in the running of a guest facility or the operation of a ranch, the Golds plunged into life as proprietors of the Arapaho Valley Ranch. When they first took over the ranch, Matt says, he was not particularly handy. But with the place in constant need of repair, he has learned to do everything from roofing to plumbing. "You can't imagine what it costs to have a plumber come all the way out here!" "All the way out here" is 15 miles from the nearest town, eight of them oh a lonely gravel road which winds its way into the Arapaho Valley National forest. The county plows the road in the winter, so they are not totally isolated. But sometimes, with 10 feet of snow in the winter, it is hard

Whips SnBVj

just to get to the road. "We can have snow on the ground until June," Barb points out. The ranch has been in operation as a guest facility continuously since 1902. Its history is part of the history of Colorado. Twees of en old logging road can be found on the ranch as well ea a couple of pieces of the old steam powered equipment. When the Corps of Engineers announced plans to flood a portion of the valley to form Lake Granby "reservoir in the 1930s, it was learned that the town of Ka-Roce and much of the ranch would ba under water. Approximately 1G0 acrop of the ranch would etill be above water, however, and the owner decided to move his ranch buildings above the wcterline. In addition, he bought and moved much of the town, including the two-story dance hall and the attached bowling alley, and neighboring ranches. Most of these buildings are otill in use on the ranch today. The Golds changed the operation of the rencli from a housekeeping cabin, hunting and fishing facility to en allAmericun-plan package. At first they were open both winter and summer, but they found that winter operation was not economically feasible. The ranch now runs for approximately four and a half months, from mid-May to late September. The cabinB, the newest of which is 75 years old, needed a lot of repair and renovation. Each now boasts a modern bath, carpeting, a small refrigerator and comfortable furnishings. Much time and effort is needed to maintain the cabins, especially during the winter. Matt's brother, Howard, has joined him at the ranch to oversee the maintenance of the buildings and grounds. Included in thiB is an electric generator which supplies all the power for the ranch and a gravity feed water system which brings spring water off the mountain. The ranch can accommodate a maximum of GO guests and provides both children's and teen programs for those wishing'to take advantage of them. In addition, each guest is assigned a horBe for his or her exclusive use for the duration of the stay. The Golds buy all their own horses and pride themselves on the quality of their stock. "We do not have any 'plugs'", they state. The Golds also pride themselves on the quality of their staff. "We hire approximately 30 staff, mostly college students." For these 30+ openings they receive about 1000 applications for positions as wranglers, counselors, cabin girls and kitchen staff. "We are looking for kids with talent, kids who like themselves. Once hired, our rules are very strict — no drinking, no drugs and no romantic involvements — and the .work is hard. But the kids also have a lot of fun and make new friends. Many have come back to visit us; that is our reward." Two of the Golds three children no longer live at home. Bob, 22, is in the Navy and Kathy, 20, lives in Florida. The youngest, 12-year-old Todd, now goes to boarding school in California. "Todd went to the local school when we first moved to the ranch, but we felt he needed more, both in quality of education and companionship. So last year we sent him to a private school in California. He has really been happy there but he also loves to come back to the ranch in the summer." Matt also expressed disappointment that, due to the distance to Denver (150 miles), they had not been able to pursue an active Jewish life. Barb was born in the Netherlands Antilles and Matt was born in St. Louis, but now both their mothers live in Miami. They have visited the ranch and also think it beautiful. On a recent visit to Miami, however, Matt found a letter from the Florida Bar Association. His mother had been paying his yearly dues "just in case you want to come back and . practice law again." She still had a little difficulty with "my son, the cowboy" rather than "my son, the lawyer." To the inevitable question, "This is a job for a Jewish boy?", Matt responds with a resounding "Yes". Dude ranching is not the typical "Jewish vacation" either. But when asked if she would do it again, this writer also responds with an equally resounding "Yes!".
