NEW YORK, (JTA) — Leon Dulzin, chairman of the Jewish Agency and World Zionist Organisation Esicutives, asserted here that "while I run not free to dbcuss it publicly, I can tell you that "the Jewkh Agency is preparing for a sudden jump in immigration, far beyond the figure we projected for this the coining year. Ono of the ancient tribes of Israel is due to return to its homeland." In a broad-ranging free-wheeling address at a meeting of the WZO-American Section, Dulzin declared that when the true story of the Jews of Ethiopia is told, "We will take pride in what wo have already achieved in this moat difficult and complex rescue operation. At the came time, a huge task ctill confronts us." He also spoke of the undaunted courage and steadfastness of Soviet Jewry which is suffering cruel discrimination and hardship. He said the "Soviet Jews are the great Jewish heroes of the day." Dulzin expressed optimism about the solution of Israel's problems by the new unity government, increased aliya because of the growing acceptance of local community commitment and responsibility, and strengthened Jewish education.

He emphasized that, without a government of national He emphasized that "the renewed strength and vigor of unity, Israel could not take the steps needed to eolve its your North American Jewish communities ^derives today inflationary crisis. He Enid "the people of Israel ere begin- from the fact of the State of Israel. You are made stronger ning to experience whet will be a severe levering of their •as Jewa by the constant input of Israel into the stream of living standards.". . • Jewish consciousness." Dulzin also pointed out that the United States and Canadian Jewish communities were beginning to comprehend Premier Shimon Peres' vision of Israel's economic future "as technological headquarters of the Middle East." . Regarding the Jewish Agency, Dulzin said that "as a consequence of drastic cuts in the government budgets," it is "under tremendous pressure to assume responsibility once more for activities it had turned over to the government because of its own financial stringency." He said these developments are the challenges which will concern the Council of Jewish Federations and the United Jewish Appeal's current campaign. Dulzin paid tribute to the CJF and the UJA, and said "We Jews have built the most effective networks of help in the history of men — the community federations."

Dulzin also pointed out that "diaspora Jewry's landmark decision to accept aliya as part of our common agenda was a milestone in Jewish history. We salute tha communities that have undertaken, with the cooperation of the CJF, pilot programs to test various approaches to.organized community involvement in aliya." Concerning the threat of assimilation, he said he felt "n new hope and optimism about Jewish education. The Jewish Agency Board of Governors has approved the implementation of a program to further Jewish education by the intimate collaboration of the American and Canadian Jewish communities and Israel." Dulzin said the Agency "has enlisted a new cadre of distinguished community leaders under the chairmanship of Morton Mandel," a past president of the CJF.

By Morris Maline A $2,069,377 budget for 1985 has been approved by the Board of Directors of the Jewish.Federation of Omaha.

The budget includes $1,180,034 for local services^ $870,581 for the United Jewish Appeal and $15,950 for national and overseas items. Capital repairs and an allowance for Campaign shrinkage make up the balance.

The 1985 budget is $18,160 more than the 1984 amount. The 1985 Campaign is projected' to provide $1,741,162 with the remainder coming from investment income and endowments.

The Jewish Community.Center was the setting for a Brith Milah (circumcision ceremony) on Nov. 25. This ib believed to be the first time, that the JCC has been used for the religious eventvvhich usually is held in the synagogue, home, or hospital. Dr. Philip and Diane Rich are shown with their three-year-old son, Adam and their eight-day-old con, Brandon. Rabbi Paul Drazen and Can- i tor Emil Berkovits officiated and Dr. James Wax performed the surgery.

MIAMI BEACH, (JTA) — The Union of American Her brew Congregations (UAHC) has adopted a nationwide program to stem the "epidemic" of suicide among teenagers who have "fallen through the Jewish safety net of family and synagogue." The program, believed to be the first attempt by any national religious'organization to deal with suicide among young people, was approved by the UAHC's Board of Trustees today after liearing a report by UAHC president Rabbi Alexander Schindler confirming a high rate of suicide among Jewish teenagers. ' The Board, holding its semi-annual meeting" here, authorized the establishment within the.UAHC's 770 Reform congregations of a new institute to be called "Yad Tikvah" (Hand of Hope) which will serve as a training, research and - educational ce*hter forReform Jewish activities to deal with teenage suicide. ...--....-

Schindler's report noted that suicide among adolescents has reached "epidemic proportions." Every day, 18 young Americans kill themselves, a 300 percent increase over the

The Jewish Federation budget provides funds for a variety of local services in addition to its allocations for Israel and other overseas needs. Allocations for 1985 include the following: Jewish Federation operations, $250,180; Vaad Hakashrut, $8,379; Federation Foundation, $20,000; Jewish Community Center, $270,501; Bureau for the Aging,

past 20 years. Suicide now is the second leading cause of death among young people, after accidents, many of which are suspected suicides, Schindler said. He noted that the Buicide rate for young people was higher among college students than among those who do not attend college. "Because the percentage of Jewish youth attending college exceeds that of the general population, we must draw the grim conclusion that the suicide rate among Jewish youth is also disproportionately high," Schindler said.

' ; •- • In presenting the budget, Robert Gord; man, chairman, Budget and Allocations Committee, said that because revenue sources are not keeping up with community needs, Federation agencies were asked to bring in budgets not exceeding 95% of last year's allocation. They did such a good job in this respect that it was possible to fund some additional requests once,the basic needs had been satisfied, he said. • Howard Kaslow, president, Jewish Federation of Omaha, commended the Budget and Allocations committee and said that the process begun under Don Greenberg's chairmanship and carried forward by Mr. Gordman has shown "enormous progress."

The Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith will honor Lavonne Curtis for 25 years of service. A reception will take place Dec. 17 at 7:30 p.m. in the Adult Lounge of the Jew' ~~ ish Community Center. Mrs. Curtis is secretary and office manager for"the ADL/CRC office at the JCC. She aids Sheldon Filger, ADL Plains States regional director, in serving the region.

"These troubling statistics," he said, "are confirmed by alarming reports of suicide among Jewish youth which we are receiving from rabbis, educators,'counsellors and youth leaders across the country." " In response to Schiridler's report, the UAHC Trustees established a task force on teenage jsuicide to train rabbis and teachers in Reform congregations "to recognize the warning signals of this sickness," to develop educational materials for a suicide prevention program and to devise "some means for crisis intervention on a national regional and perhaps even congregational level."

According to Mr. Filger, Harold Adler, a former Plain Statesregional director based in Lavonne Curtis Omaha, and now director of administration for ADL's national office in New York City, will officiate at the honors ceremony in Omaha. Dr. Carl Greenberg, president, ADL/CRC) said, "Lavonne has provided the Omaha Jewish community with 25 years of outstanding service, and it is truly fitting that Her contributions be recognized and applauded by the entire Jewish community."

The Board of Directors of the Jewish Federation of Omaha meets once a month to discuss and vote upon a varied agenda. Many of the issues that come before the Board bring forth spirited debate sometimes inflamed with emotional arguments. At the November meeting, the subject of re-carpeting for some of the rooms at the Rose Blumkin Jewish Home for the Aged came up.for discussion, Improved sanitation was given as the reason. Howard Kaslow, president of the Federation, suggested that the issue be discussed at the December meeting so that proper input could be given, to the Board by members of the community and by the professional staff of the Home. . , The issue is whether the rooms of residents should be recarpeted or should be covered with a hard surface so that cleanliness could be ensured. The issue is not one that can be settled by facts and figures alone. It is obvious that it costs more to utilize carpet than tile. Some carpeted rooms have to be recovered yearly while tile is much longer-lasting. However, when the issue came up for discussion originally, many members of the community insisted that comfort was more important than cost. Consequently, since this is an emotional issue, Mr. Kaslow was correct in advising that discussion be delayed until current opinions could be sought. The December Board meeting will take place Thursday, Dec. 27 at 7:30 p.m. in the Jewish Community Center. As always, the community may attend.

HAIFA — The1 conflict is essentially over. There will no doubt still be occasional demonstrations and even a few excitable confrontations, but what had once be^n rejjiirdsd as one of Israel's major'internal problems is in the process of rapid solution. Reference is to the social and cultural gup which once separated the'A Ehkenuzi find Sephardi communities in the population. - • '' Israel is no Utopia, end there-will-perhaps always be'an economically depic-Med, culturally' undyr-priVjiSogod community, but whereas hi the firut GO years of statehood theie were halhnarks of the North Africaninimigrcnts; the corning years will find the depressed grou;M losing their Sephardi' coloration, and marked only by common' social, economical and cultural characteristics without reference • to their countries of origin or their backgrounds. They will be the Israeli poor. The changes now rapidly taking place in Israel society arc significant and on many levels. A studied program of integration in the country's public schools has opened up new educational opportunities for those who previously had seemed destined to be confined to their castes. In the last ten years the percentage of students of Asian/African origin in Israel's universities has doubled, and the annual trend is still rising sharply. Sephardim are to be found not only in the student body, but also in the ranks of tho professors, the deans and heads of departments. President of Tel Aviv University, Prof. Moshe Many, is a fifth generation Sephardi in Israel of mixed Iraqi and Georgian ancestry. Rafi Suissa, mayor of Mazkeret Batya, told his colleagues "we have nothing to be ashamed of any longer. We are on the mop." He was addressing a meeting of 31 mayors of local towns, all of North African origin. In his own town, 85% of the population are of Russian birth, but Sephardi Suissa was elected, even if he did not speak Yiddish. As we hove pointed out on another occasion, 32 members of the present Knesset are Sephardim, against 27,.jn the previous and 22 in the one before. They're on the march. More and more of the country's leading personalities come from their ranks. Chief of Staff, General Moshe Levi, is the son of a poor immigrant fromjraq. One of the country's leading nuclear scientists, Prof, Shimon Yifttch, is of Yemenite origin. Speaker of the Knessst, Shlomo Hillel, was born in Bagdad. Moroccan-bom.David Levy is a prominent contender for leadership of the Likud party. Avraham Turgeman, Police Commissioner of Tel Aviv, is from Morocco..Half a dozen directors-General of government ministries are Sephardim; veteran among them is Eliezer Shmueli, born in Greece. . ; Yisrael Kessar, Secretary-General of the Histadrut, holding a position more influential than that of most government ministers, was born in Yemen. . The Recanatis, pure Sephardim from Greece, are prominent bankers. Bino Zadik, director of the First International, Israel's fastest growing bank, came from Iraq, as did Shlomo Eliyahu, a leading figure in insurance. Elscint, one of the country's rhiracle high technology industries, is headed by Avraham Suhami, a native of Turkey!' Israel's leading heart surgeon, Dr. Morris Levi, comes from Bulgaria — Sephardim all. The list can be extended considerably. The trend will continue, and will be even more evident in the coming elections and until the next generation, when the differences between Ashkenazim and Sephardim will

By M. J. Rosenberg Near East Report In his speech before the Palestine National Council in Amman last week, Yasir Arafat offered an interesting — even shocking — revelation about the 1982 Lebanon war. After discussing the PLO's "legendary" stand against the Israeli army, Arafat told his fellow delegates that Israel had suffered terrible losses in the struggle. "It suffices to remind you," he said, "of the American report published pn October 10 in The Washington Post which revealed a major part of the Israeli losses in that war. The paper admitted that Israel lost 419 tanks, 612 vehicles, 23 planes, and 3,400 dead." Arafat's statement was, not surprisingly, greeted by applause. After all, even PLO stalwarts have seen the official Israeli casualty figures. The Israelis report that they lost 600 soldiers in the Lebanon,fighting — a high figure, but nothing like the 3,400 cited by.^rafat. For the PLO, it was good news, indeed, that an American newspaper ,like the Post was reporting casualties almost 600% higher than,, those reported by Israel.There was only one thing wrong with Arafat's report. The Oct. 10, 1984 Washington Post carried no article on Israel's losses in Lebanon. As for the 3,400 figure — along with those other numbers related to Israel's losses in weaponry — they never appeared in the Post either. They are

be increasingly blurred as a result of the mixed marriages. Jtiitti has come a long way since the days of the Moroccan mats immigration of the ctriy Fifties, when the seeds were sown for communal antagonism. One writer, Shlomo Abbaycu, granting that not all authoritiesWere born evil, and that BoLne did indeed display brotherly love to the bewildered nev/ immigrants from North Africa, wrote that those can not ofLst "the .'.overt1, profound, stinging and humiliating insult meted out by a larger number of functionaries whose hearts lied room neither for love nor any concern for us. Theee tipped the scales. The criticism may be exaggerated, and certainly does not take into consideration the enormous problems of absorbing the new immigrants, but the important thing is that is the way the immigrants felt. Only now is Israel beginning to recover from the errors of those days, errors which have had their effect on the entire complex of the country's social and political life. The Sephardim are asserting themselves by ability and by sheer weight of numbers. Their descendants will be Israelis all.

The editors reserve tlie right to shorten letters for reasons of length or content. To the Editor; The following letter which we received from Sam Epstein in Sunnyvale, California, is an example of the type of story the Nebraska Jewish Historical Society is looking for as entries in the Morris C. Fellman Esoay contest on "Taking Stock: Early Jewish Businesses." The deadline is Dec, 15, but if we know there is a story coming in we will extend the deadline until Dec. 31. Sam writes: Around the year 1935, a beautiful supermarket .was started. It was 50 years ahead of, its time. The market was called VCofelts" and it was located on the first floor of the Faidley Building at 16th and Douglas Street. The fruit and vegetable department was .located on the east side of the building and waa leased to Max Gresnberg. The extremely large meat department was in the rear of the store and was ;leased.to the Rosoff Bros. The coffee department was in the front of the store and leaaed to Harry Neesman. In the center of the store was a counter-top restaurant. Co-owners were Sam Cohen and Roy. C. Feltman along with H. A. Wolf Co. The store had several trucks, and deliveries were made to charge accounts for people living in Dundee, at that time a very select part of the city, surrounded between 60th and 72nd and Dodge streets on both side's, north and south. There was nothing past 72nd street, . Ruth Cohen (Mrs. Art Goldstein) was the switchboard operator, and I was the bookkeeper with Mr. Cohen and Mr. Feltman having offices upstairs in the balcony. While the store was there it added to the beauty of downtown Omaha. Because of financial differences the store closed around 1938. But people living at that time will never forget it. An added trivia. On the second floor was a company with about 25 to 50 people in an insurance office. Do you know what the company's name was. Yes—Mutual of Omaha.

from Lebanon and that it did so without incurring anything like the 3,400 losses Arafat claimed. Arafat's fictitious figures were in keeping with a long tradition among Arab opponents of Israel. Theyrefuse to face facts, facts which might encourage them to seek peace with the Israejis rather than to pursue futile military adventures. It is much easier to hail victories that never happened rather than face the cold reality of defeat and, ultimately, compromise. King Hussein, in his speech before the PLO council, presented additional evidence that Israel's adversaries live in a fantasy world. He spoke of the importance of Jerusalem and of Palestine to Christians and Moslems. "Palestine embraces Jerusalem," he said, "the cradle of Jesus . . . the place from which Mohammed... ascended to the heavens; the playground of Al Shafi [founder of one of the. four Orthodox Islamic schools]; the battlefield of Salah al-Din; the resting place of Hussein Ibn Ali; and the martyr's ladder to glory." •

'IK t t h>.. it "And Jacob ( n, in pci.ee to the city of SI chtm," oi ' Jacob nrnv< d salt' in tlic city of : Shi.'! ^m " T). > Muirnsh is intriyUed by thf \,on\ "ulialcni.V Jacob arrived "shale m " in Slieclii'in "Slidlem," as everyone quickly recognizes, it another form of the word which we know best as "Shalom," "Peace." The Midrash, intrigued, wants to analyze the concept "Peace." When is a. man at peace? What does it mean to be safe? The first element, the Midrash says, is his personal health. The narrative had it that Jacob had wrestled with an angel and had been wounded. And then he met his brother Esau, who, he. feared,: migli.t; have^ wanted to kill him. Now that his encounter with his brother was over, it had to be a relief to Jacob to come now to.Shechem, whole and well. "Shalem," indeed, means "whole" in a primary sense. A second element recognized by the Midrash is that Jacob was not harmed so far as his family was concerned. Jacob must have heard with trepidation Esau's questions about the large retinue of family who accompanied him. Surely Esau will do them harm! But he answers evenly, without apparent fear, that "these are the children whom the Lord has graciously given me." And Esau permits them all to pass on, going further into

the land. So Jacob's "wholeness" and "peace" included also1 his family. Jacob had sent gifts of livestock on before his to Esau. Esau is astonished to see the size of the flocks and herds that Jacob had. His ur^e to steal and take everything is somehow rei strained. He contents himself with accepting the gifts Jacob has sent — and the larger vveah h that Jacob had accumulated h left undisturbed So here too Jacob is •left "whole." Hiu posses. sions «re not attacked, and he iirrives in Shechem a wealthy man. Another tradition might well have left the analysis alone at this point, but not Jewish tradition! What really was there to add, if Jacob was physically whole, if his family was safe, and if his wealth has undisturbed? Our Midrash adds a fourth element. How else was Jacob whole? What else was there in the total picture of safety? The Midrash adds, in all seriousness, that his learning was unharmed! His learning! ' How often do we find ourselves putting "first" things first, worrying about health to the exclusion of everything else when health is in danger, or worrying about economic,, health when that is in danger? The Midrash says that even when everything was in danger for Jacob, even then his study, his "Tal : mud," his "Torah," his spiritual well-being was not neglected! When Jacob arrived "whole" in Shechem, part of the wholeness was his inner wholeness, his spiritual well-being. Is this the "whole" man? Perhaps one or another of us would like to add still another element, or yet another. But the Midrash has its own integrity and its own view of life. And it is enlightening and instructive. Shall we not say that it is a Jewish view of life?

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND STAFF OF YOUR OMAHA JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTER WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY CHANUKAH!

Chanukah, which is known as the feast of lights and the festival of dedication commemorates the >:yicjory of ttie-fviaccafes^l^^tta^iasj +|fs five sons, and their a d ^ e h t s j over the Syrian-Greeks in 164 BCE. The Syrian-Greeks had desecrated'the Temple in Jerusalem, &nd when the Jews wrested it away from them, they cleansed and rededicated their Temple. The story is told that when the Maccabees went to light the Temple candelabrum (eternal light), only enough oil to keep it aglow for one day was found. Miraculously the oil lasted for eight days! Since that time, Chsnukah has been Observed by kindling lights for eight successive days. .'•• . ' H I Q word "Chani&ah"- moans efcdJsatisn • "Judah and his brethren with tha whols congregation of Israel ordained that the.days of dedication of the altar should ba kept in their season from year to year, by the space of eight days, from the twentyfifth day of tha month of Kistev, with'mirth and gladnass." — Book of Maccabees.

piP)J!

Chanukah 5745 begins on Tuesday evening, December 18th at sundown, when we light thD first Chanukah carfdle. We at your Jewish Community Center rededicate Ourselves to provide you with thehighest quality of programs and services to meat your leisure time, recreational/social and cultural needs throughout tha year. : / This has been an;;exciting "rededication time" for us ..". We recently rededicated ths Jewish Community Center building as we begin our. second decade of service to the community. At a briof ceremony, we unveiled a series of plaques in appreciation of those in the community who were generous with their tima and money in making the Jewish Community Center possible. • At this Chanukah season, we take pride in looking at our accomplishments as a Jewish Community Center, but more important, we rededicate ourselves to you, our membsrs (and the entire Jowish community), to continue to b3 an institution which is the finest of its kind in North America! If. you are not currently a JCC member, we urge you to contact us during the coming week for a tour and reorientatiotv to your Jewish Community Center. If you've not been around the JCC for awhile, you'll be surprised at what you see; Ptesse call Steven.Rod at: 334:8200 if you would .MKe.tos arrange for your own tour; and a chance to meet with the executive director of the JCC to discuss your membership needs.

Your Jewish Community Center has rededicated itself to serving you, the Jewish Community. We hope that you will choose this season of "rededication" to once again affiliate with and support a strong Omaha Jewish Community Center.,

By Barbara Diamond Goldin ' December, I hear myself say to Christians friends and acquaintances, "Oh, Hanukkah?

One is Haiiukh.ib: .j.',,Lt Nights, Eielit Lights by Malka Drucker (drawir ;,j"by Brom Hoban, Holiday House, 1S80). Mre. Drucker ssj c, "In America there uro many choices, and people think t\i~y CL n do everything — hut this is not true.

In addition, Singer passes on to a new generation, and up. ^.; Instead of trying to compete with Christmas customs and his stories of the Eastern European Jewish culture that was Hanukkah is a holiday rich in stories, legends and tracelebrations, we can make Hanukkah special for our chil- extinguished in World War II, stories of rebbes and stu- ditions.

Malka Another Hanukkah tradition is the retelling of, the Mac- • dom, the miracle "that Jews are here to tell their story 2,100 Drucker suggests gifts such as a decorative bank made of cabees' fight for religious freedom, their rededica'tion of the years after the Maccabees' " (Drucker, p. 78), and the mira milk carton, personally minted Hanukkah gelt that offers Temple, and the discovery of the jug of oil that burned for acle that we can place our.candles in the window without services to whomever you give the gift, and a mezuzah made 8 days instead of one.

As Mae Shafter Rockland says, "The of a walnut shell or a sea shell (Hanukkah: Eight Nights, nukkah in 165 B.C.E., different parts of the holiday story miracle of the oil is a poetic substitution for the miracle of Eight Lights, pp. 66-69). Other meaningful handmade have been stressed. Because of the aspect of rebellion and Jewish survival" (p. 23), Let's share all these miracles with gifts include patchwork stuffed dreidels, miniature Jewish military victory, it was dangerous for the Jews to emphasize our children, and enrich their experience of that "minor" ritual objects for doll families, Sabbath articles like challah the Maccabean struggle during their years in exile. So the holiday called Hanukkah. . .

In the midst of the December barrage of Christmas materials, Jewish families must search for ways to maintain the significance of Hannukah for children. Hannukah begins this year on December 19, and there is no better way to celebrate the holiday than with a table laden with latkas, a form of pancakes, the traditional holiday fare. The following are recipes for latkas from throughout the world, reflecting the history of the Jews and the varied lands in which they settled. These recipes can be easily prepared

by children — with a bit of help from their parents. The recipes were taken from "Hannukah: A Learning Kit" (see above). ' YEMENITE ZELEBIES flour honey (hot) water oil for deep frying oil -- Take a few handfuls.of flour, add water and a bit of oil to make a very soft, liquid dough — about the consistency of thick pancake batter. Pour through a funnel into the hot oil. The dough should be poured so that it curls into a snailshape; close the spout of the funnel with your thumb and proceed with another zelebie. When the "snails" are golden brown, scoop them out and dip them immediately in a container of hot honey. Remove, place zelebies on a dish or tray and allow to cool.

By Morris Maline ''My-poor dad 1s going bonkers." This is how one of the i Omaha Jewish community's newest residents describes the current reaction of her father in Madison, Wisconsin. "He wants me to go to school, and all I want to do at the present time is dance," said Cheryl Lynn • Kopell. Ms. Kapell, 20, is making her Omaha Bcilet debut as Ciara in The Nutcracker, which will be performed at the Orpheum Theuter, Dec. 14, 15, 16. "My dad's an attorney, and my mother is becoming a nurse, so you can understand my father's pressure when he sees me pursuing dance, and my brothers either studying theater or playing in a rock band." Ms. Kapell arrived in Dancer Cheryl Kapell and Cantor Leo Fettman Omaha a couple of monUis ago to join the new Omaha Ballet company Ms. Kapell reminded Cantor Fettman as both dancer and instructor at the School that as a "shining little girl" she had taken of the Omaha Ballet. him for $1 when she and many of her former Upon her arrival, she was pleasantly sur- classmates took him up on his offer and prised to be welcomed by Cantor Leo and memorized Hag Gadya from the Passover Annette Fettman of Beth Israel Synagogue.

Unking balletcompanies By Amy Friedman Omaha Ballet Volunteer The Israeli Ballet and the Omaha Ballet may soon share something in common. In' fact, they already have one Jewish connection. Both companies fe&tute Jewish dancers. It may (surprise you to know-that four professional dancers,, who happen to be Jewish or of Jewish descent, are mum-! hers of the Omaha Ballet company. However, the latest link between'the Omaha and Israeli dance world lies in: the name "Peter. Anactos,"' a world renowned choreographer. Anastoa is a nice Jewish name, you e;;y? No! His religion is Greek Orthodox. Soon, though, he may work for both groups. Anastos serves as artistic adviser to the Omaha Ballet. He is currently negoti-

ating a position with the Israeli Ballet as well. Talks are underway for Anastos to create a new bailet for the Israeli company. He air^u-dy he3 been hooked to stage a second new work for the Omaha company's current
