Jewish groups contend State of Nebraska erred Adherents of religious seels that prohibit their members from being photographed should not be barred from obtaining a driver's license, say two national Jewish organizations. An amicus, or friend-of-the-court brief, filed in the United States Supreme Court by the American .lewisli Congress on behalf of itself and the Synagogue Council uf America, said that states requiring photographs on licenses should grant waivers to those who object on religious grounds. The brief, written by Marc Stern, Lois 0. Waldman and Ronald A. Krauss of the American Jewish Congress legal staff, contended that the State of Nebraska erred in turning down such a request for exemption. Nebraska officials said that to have allowed an exception would be a violation of the Constitutional ban on government establishment of religion. But the Jewish organizations say such an interpretation is a misreading of the Constitution. Filing of the brief was announced by Norman Redlich, co-chair of AJCongress' Commission on Law and Social Action and dean of the New York University School of Law. The case grew out of a complaint by a Nebraska resident, Frances J. Quaring, a member of a small Christian sect, who was turned down for a driver's license because
her religion forbids its members to be photographed. The State of Nebraska requires a picture on all driver's licenses. Ms. Quaring brought suit in the U.S. District Court for Nebraska which ruled that the state was required to grant the exemption in order to accommodate her Constitutional right to free exercise of religion. Nebraska appealed the decision to the Federal Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit, arguing that a religiously based exemption from a "generally applicable statute" is unconstitutional because it represents government "preference for" and tends to establish religion. The appeals tribunal upheld the lower court and ruled in Ms. Quaring's favor. The State of Nebraska then appealed to the Supreme Court. In its brief to the high court, AJCongress noted that past Supreme Court decisions have held that government accommodation to permit the free exercise of religion is not necessarily an establishment of religion. Exemptions from generally applicable statutes, it said, are necessary for some religious minorities, including Jews, to enable them to freely observe the dictates of their religion without suffering penalties, such as the denial of government benefits that are generally available to all.

6ur customers soy "FIRST TIME IN YEARS I CAN TAKE A SAFE — COMFORTABLE BATH"
I came across an article the other day on the very serious subject of alcohol and the elde rly. It was about some oldsters who find company, or maybe sympathy, in the bottle. It wasn't funny .\ . it is apparently a real problem to many families. Well, lo be honest, I know a woman who has an 87-year-old father living in one of those resident complexes with nurses available when needed. Every so often she gets a call from one of the ladies in charge, who says something like "your Dad got a bottle somehow and is drunk as a hoot-owl". The daughter is torn between letting him enjoy one of his few pleasures and worrying about the combination of all his medicine and 80 proof Jim Beam. Poor fella — they took his checkbook from him so he can't finagle a bottle any more, and now he's on the straight and narrow. I say "poor fella" because while I know it wasn't good for him, I also know it was his own private escape from the world no longer populated with his mate, his siblings and many contemporaries. I wonder, however, if our Jewish oldsters ever have to find such an escape. I rather doubt it. For one thing, most can hold their liquor astonishingly well. And besides, most associate having "a schnapps" with happy times; as after | a brucha made for a special simcha, for example. Any young person who has ever been a member of a minyan of octogenarians on a Saturday morning will tell you about watching them pour a healthy belt, lift the glass, say the blessing and knock it back wjthout even blinking. A chaser? Maybe a bite of cake or another qweet. Their eyes don't even water! Maybe that bunch also put such a drink into one other category — medicinal. I remember such scenes as this: mid winter in Omaha, temperature way below zero, cars that balked at moving at all, (cars with no heater as we know heaters today) and the Zada or the Dad finally getting home, frozen to the eyelashes. The buckle galoshes were pulled off, the heavy coat peeled away, the scarf, the sweaters and jackets removed and then came the gasp "will you get me a schnapps?" It went down in one gulp, and within minutes the cheeks got pink, the shivering stopped arid the toes thawed out. With a heritage like this you don't anticipate alcoholism! Nor do you worry when all your life yqii knew.that noth? ing cleared up a sore throat faster than:"gargling with a little whiskey". No. I'm not worried about alcoholism and the J elderly. I think we're genetically covered for this one!
Jan Farbcr: I think we ought to keep up with the Russians but not neglect other responsibilities here at home.

Amit Women has had a long association with Ethiopian youth, going back to the 1950s when a group of young Falashas, as they were then called, arrived in Israel. They studied at Kfar Batya and most of them returned to Ethiopia, to lead and teach "love and knowledge of their Jewish Heritage" to their communities. Most significantly, the group saw Amit Kfar Batya Youth Village in Ranana and Amit Youth Village in Petach Tikvah which are absorbing numerous refugee Ethiopian Jewish children and witnessed how they had the barest knowledge of civilization and modern society. The children, many of them chronically malnourished, are now being fed, clothed, housed, and educated by Amit Women. "We are deeply moved by theBe children who call us their 'spiritual mothers' ", stated 'Frieda Kufeld, National President of Amit Women. "They are without families, separated from all they have known — yet they are adapting well to their environment". With the expected influx of thousands of Ethiopian Jews to Israel, Mrs. Kufeld announced the establishment of the Amit Women Ethiopian Beta-Israel Rescue Project, an additional life-saving project, among its 80,000 members.Beta-Israel (House of Israel) is the name Ethipian Jews prefer to be called. The. term "Falasha", meaning "stranger" or "outcast", was thrust upon them in Ethiopia, They understandably despise this appellation. : Amit Women celebrates its 60th Anniversary Year in 1985. It is the primary network of traditional secondary technological education in Israel, working directly with the; Israel government to provide quality education in Israel, working directly with the Israel government to provide quality education for Israel's youth. In addition, it has worked on a variety of health, agricultural technological.
Opponents of the death penalty maintain that Israel, as an enlightened country, should follow a humane ,policy, in accordance with Jewish tradition. Rabbi Eliszer Ben Azariah, in the Michna, v/as quoted to the effect that any Sanhedrin which imposed one death sentence in seventy years could ba considsred a cruel court. Furthermore, Arab terrorists ect out of ideological motivation. The knowledge that they might foca execution would not dster them. Indeed, they ere prepared to face death when they embark on their missions. In the mentality of some, death during eccompliohment.of their "holy" Get would assure them a piece of honor in the world to come. Dr. Herzl Roasnbloora, editor of Yedliat Altrozaot, gives expression to the viev/3 of thecs on tha other sids.

Jewish P m t
Do not cast off our youth" By Mitchell Warren, President North American Federation of Temple Youth In September I addressed the Executive Committee of our Union of American Hebrew Congregations in New York City. At that time I told the Committee what a truly difficult task our youth have in growing up in today's society. I went so far as to say that "growing up as a Reform, Jewish youth has never been more difficult tha^i it is today." Now that 1 have spent three months at college, I realize that these words are horrifyingly more accurate than I had ever thought or cared to believe. You see, today a war — a war unlike any past war — is being launched against our youth. Many of our youth are losing their identities as individuals and as Jews; teen-ugers are being pulled by one activity or another, demanding time, energy and commitment; many young people are travelling through life with no direction. They receive unsatisfactory answers or no answers at all to their questions of "Who am I?" and "What am I here for?" You all know the statistics; let me just give you the bottom line. In record numbers, our youth — our safe, secure Jewish youth — are looking for their answers, their identities in cults and missionary movements, in drugs and alcohol. And, saddest of all, under incredible stress, with no where else to turn, our youth are attempting to take their own lives. You may not think that these statistics affect the youth of our movement; let me assure you they do. Let me assure you that suicide cuts across all economic; social and ethnic boundaries. ' Cults and missionary movements are crawling all over our society — universities as well as high schools. Let me relate to you an experience at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. Last month, the Hari Krishna organization held a three day rally in the center of campus. It looked like a carnival and everywhere I turned the participants were my Jewish peers. Some, deeply committed Jewish youth, argued with the members, defending their own Jewish religion. Others, though, the majority, were picking up the Hari Krishna's free literature because they, as one of my friends put it, "just wanted to learn" about the Krishnas; this is the first step. Others — classmates, friends — head for the bar at the conclusion of each day. After a hard day at classes, they need the release that a few beers or a few drinks can offer. And you will be shocked at the ease with which many obtain marijuana, cocaine or any other drug in my dormitory — a building of 86% Jews. With one phone call or a knock at
By M. J. Rosenberg Near East Report One of the many painful aspects in reading David Wyman's The Abandonment of the Jews (Pantheon Books, 1984) is that it forces the reader to confront the might-have-beens of the Hitler years. This is true of World War II histories in general. Suppose Hitler's bluff had been called when he occupied the Rhineland in 1935? Suppose the British and French had aided the Czechs in 1938 rather than abandoning them to their fate? Suppose the anti-Nazi forces in the democracies had prevailed over the forces of appeasement and surrender? , Hitler might have been stopped and millions of lives (civilian and military) might have been saved. Just knowing that there were alternatives—options that were rejected which could have averted the mass killings—makes the reading of this century's history a painful process indeed. Wyman's book zeroes in on the question of Jewish rescue and demonstfates that the Jews of Europe (or, at least, many of them) would have survived but for the indifference and obstructionism of the Roosevelt White House and State Department. Even some of his smaller revelations are disturbing. For instance, Wyman discusses the role played by Congressman Sol Bloom, a New Yorker and a Jew, who served aschairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee during the period of the "final solution." The coincidence of Bloom's chairing the committee during those years might have been one of those happy accidents of history that saved lives. But it wasn't. Bloom didn't.use his position to-help Europe's Jews. Wyman writes: "Sol Bloom, despite his influential position in Congress, attempted next to nothing for the Jews of Europe . . . . [When] possibilities for major actions arose, he consistently allied himself with the State Department. . . . Three decades later [Congressman Emanuel] Celler concluded that 'Sol Bloom did a great deal of harm because of his attitude. He was a mere sycophant of the State Department.' "
several different doors all over the building, one can, in a matter of minutes, be smoking or snorting or injecting. I know because I see it every day. And in talking with my friends around the country, this scenario could fit any college campus. And you know that a manifestation of all of these problems is the epidemic of teen-age suicide. I hesitate to even estimate the number of times in the past four years that I have heard friends contemplate suicide after a test or bad grade goes home to mom and dad. Today, our young people are under incredible pressure to become successful. The expectations for our youth has increased as has the associated pressure and stress, often leading to disastrous results. Furthermore, for our youth there is no guarantee of having a "traditional" family. Our mothers have joined the work force, intermarriage and the divorce rate has skyrocketed. Teen-agers do not know where to turn for help — and often they do not take the time to seek the help that is there. I have friends experience many of these pressures — to the point of attempting to take their own lives. Their parents had their own problems and did not see hers. They did not talk to any of us — her friends, her peers — because they were too embarrassed. They do not seek out professional help — rabbis, psychologists — because they were, again, too embarrassed and too scared. The future is questionable, and they decided that it was not worth waiting for the future to become clear. Suicide becomes the only logical way out, "the easy way out."
LUXOR — Israeli student photographer, Shlomo Amani, took this picture on a bicycle trip through Egypt, of these children in Luxor which won the Hazel Berkowitz Greenwald Award as the best photograph by a second-year student at the Hadassah Community College in Jerusalem. The photo was exhibited at the Hadassah National Convention at the San Francisco Hilton Hotel last August.
I do not need to give you these examples; all of us have had some experience with suicide, we all know of someone close to our hearts who has attempted to take his or her own life. . I do not for a minute think that by passing this resolution tonight we will save every lost soul. But not being able to fully solve problems does not mean that we should ignore the problem all together, "we are not required to complete the task, neither are we free to desist in beginning the task." Our youth — our precious youth — are our future. Do not cast off those who have fallen victim to cults and missionary movements; do not cast off those who have come under the influence of drugs and alcohol; do not cast off those who are under such great stress that they contemplate and even attempt suicide. DO NOT CAST OFF OUR YOUTH. Instead, open your hearts and reach out your hands in hope. Save one life and you have in fact saved the world.

JERUSALEM — "My dog'is very energetic, but he has moods — like people. In thicl fie is sad, full of poignant thoughts," Shai Zakai-Spitzer says of her photo which won the Gail Rubin' Prize for best work of a first year photography student at the Hadassah Community College. The photo was exhibited at the Hadassah National Convention at the San Francisco Hilton Hotel last August.
Bloom used his power to block a 1943 resolution which called on President Roosevelt "to formulate and effectuate a plan of immediate action designed to save the surviving Jewish people of Europe from extinction at the hands of Nazi Germany." The "rescue resolution" had the ardent support of Wendell Willkie, Al Smith, Dean Alfange, and half of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee including Robert Taft of Ohio. It was also supported by the powerful Hearst press and by its publisher William Randolph Hearst. The resolution was the brainchild of Peter Bergson, a Palestinian Jew and a member of the Jabotinsky-Irgun Zionist wing. It is Bergson who emerges as the true hero of the Wyman account. But Bloom didn't like the resolution and, accordingly, "Bloom and the State Department collaborated in a maneuver to kill" it. In a Committee hearing, Bloom said that saving 100,000 Jews might be expensive: "You have to figure at least $2,000 a person, so that would be $200 million." In the end, the resolution was unnecessary. Sensing that it would pass, FDR issued an executive order to establish the War Refugee Board (WRB), the agency that would ultimately save 200,000 Jews. But even after its establishment, the importance of rescue was downgraded. Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, who had convinced Roosevelt to set up the WRB, believed that it was important that a figure of international stature be appointed to head it. He wanted Wendell Willkie, the 1940 Republican Party nominee for President and an advocate of rescue. But Roosevelt was worried that Willkie-might be a strong Presidential candidate in 1944 and nixed the idea. He said that Willkie already had "all the build-up" he needed. Once again, politics had intervened and, in Wyman's words, "ended an unparalleled chance to develop the board into a highly visible high-powered rescue unit." (However, John W. Pelile, who was named to the post, was dedicated to rescue and exercised his responsibilitie creditably.)

The Abandonment of the Jews is full of these mighthave-beens which could have saved hundreds of thousands. It does not make for pleasant reading. But it is reading that is essential if we are to ensure that the abandonment of Jews—or of any people—is never allowed to happen again.

FOR THE AGING ANNUAL REPORT The Bureau for the Aging experienced healthy growth during 1984. The Rose Blumkin Jewish Home and the Older Adult Programs can point with pride at many positive changes. Some were operational, some ornamental; all contributed to the smooth operation of the entire agency. The Blumkin Home began the year with a major staff change, a new Head Nurse. Mrs. Cherill Samson joined us in January, she functions efficiently, kindly and performs her duties with professional ease. \ As for environment, the attractive appearance of the entrance lobby has been enhanced'by the completion of the Living Wall. The pictorial plaque display is a reminder of the many good people who were instrumental in the creation of our predecessor, the Dr. Philip Sher Home. Another important addition to the area is the Tree of Life. This brass beauty is laden with special leaves — each ' representing a contribution from some individual or family. All of these many gifts helped make up the funds with which the Blumkin Home was built. Still another eyecatcher is the electronic directory which gives a visitor immediate answers on room location. The directory was the generous gift of the Omaha Chapter of the National Council of Jewish Women. We have added such extras as cable television for our residents and sunshades for our windows in the' dining room. i Changes having to do with our residents are, naturally, more'important than sunshades. We find we are caring for people who need more attention than in the past. We see a noticeable increase in the percentage of non-ambulatory residents in the last year, compared to 1983. In fact, we have had our first skilled-care patients during this year. We are licensed by the state to provide such care, but until 84 we had no occasion to demonstrate our capabilities. Our fine nursing staff is trained to tend to the needs of those in our community requiring attention, whether skilled care, moderate or supervisory. For the future, we have certain goals we hope to attain. One of the first is to seek the licensing required by law, in order to increase the number of beds in our facility. We find this to be necessary, since we operate at full occupancy at all times. And as might be surmised, we have a waiting list at all times also. By increasing our available beds, we hope to alleviate some of the stress caused by long waits for admittance. Secondly, we expect to implement a Day Care program, which we feel is desperately needed. This is simply a way to lend a needed hand to individuals who cannot be alone all day, but who still are able to maintain private residence. Such a program serves a twofold purpose: the oldster who needs supervisory "company" is served, and also the family member who otherwise has complete responsibility, is given some respite. : . • •' There is one other major problem which will need to be addressed in 1985. That is the question of some form of housing for a certain segment of our Jewish older community; those who don't fit into the categories of Nursing Home care or "well-elderly", such as Livingston Plaza or private housing, but who need some help. This suggests the need for a communal situation, where people who could care for themselves, could maintain private rooms and have access to a communal dining room, if cooking were impossible or difficult. To accomplish a solution for this particular group would mean the Blumkin Home will be more available for the truly ill or incapacitated. It will also make it possible for many oldsters to live with a safe amount of independence. The Older Adult Programs balance the other end of the Bureau. These programs are greatly enhanced by the numerous volunteers, who, working with professional staff, make everything run smoothly.
There are various Organized groups, with which everyone is familiar. One cannot live in this community and be ignorant of the Monday, 'I\jesday and Thursday groups; they represent an extremely involved segment of our society. They participate in such activities as Choral Group, rehearsing faithfully and performing joyfully; they will valiantly try aerobic exercise; they travel at the drop of a hat. They have gone on trips as far away as the Catskills or as near as Lincoln. They go and love it. This past year a new project was Sunday Brunch, followed by some form of entertainment. At the end of December they'will enjoy their annual New Year's Eve Party. A very gratifying program was placed on the agenda in 1983. A Discussion Group led by Anne Katzman became an extremely well-attended class. In addition to all of this social inter-action, there are important programs going on all the time, under the auspices of the professionals of the agency. These constitute the other components of the Bureau, and include group, individual and community services, such as geriatric counseling for older adults and their families. There is a transportation program available for medical appointments and shopping. Although the logistics involved in delivering our folks from one point to another can be difficult, all is handled very well. The program is being expanded for the coming year. There continues to be a successful Hot Meals on Wheels program — this means anybody who is unable to prepare a meal doesn't have to settle for a dish of cereal. A hot, kosher meal will be delivered for a very nominal cost every noon, Monday through Friday, upon request. It should also be noted that emergency assistance is available for older adults needing food, clothing, shelter or financial aid. This even includes funeral costs when necessary. • There is an on-going effort for continuing education; during 1984 the Bureau offered a 7 week course "Aging Parents — Whose Responsibility?" in addition to a 10 week course on aging to High School students of the Hebrew High. As for future goals, the immediate over-all wish is to continue providing the successful programs which help generate the constant activity within our Jewish older community. There is room to add still more necessary projects, from which many could derive both comfort and help. As an example, many calls come in to the Bureau on a regular basis, pointing to a particular need. There are many elderly who live alone in their own quarters who desperately need help with cooking, cleaning, laundry and bathing. This is called At-Home Support Services. It is but one of several potential new programs. Omaha can feel pride in the kinds of resources available to its seniors. The Bureau for the Aging will continue to work to keep its high standards.
Both the holiday issues and the weekly editions enjoyed excellent support from advertisers and the sales staff supervised by Louise (Weasie) Graham aggressively sought out new sales opportunities. The 1984 Passover issue highlighted Omaha's Jewish youth and youth groups, and the New Years' edition focused on the Danzig exhibit which was brought to the Joslyn Museum by Mickey Sturm, Don Sturm, and their children, Bob and Melanie. The Omaha Jewish community should be aware of the fact that the Jewish Press' special holiday issues receive national attention and are accomplishments rare for such a small community. i Many in the community are unaware of the limited staffing of their community newspaper. The editor-iri-chief is the only full-time employee. The only other employees are a part-time managing editor, a part-time office( manager, and a part-time advertising manager.
A YEAR OF CHALLENGES The past year witnessed new developments and old problems. Anti-Semitic paramilitary type groups, such as the Posse Comitatus and National Agricultural Press Association, continued their activities in rural Nebraska. Along with a threat posed by traditional anti-Semitic movements, a new challenge was posed to the Omaha Jewish community by State Senator Ernest Chambers blatant anti-Semitic assults. At the same time, positive movement was registered in improving dialogue with the black community, as well as increasing ADL/CRC's efforts to promote improved multicultural education in our schools. The year also witnessed a major first; the ADL's first corporate fund raising event in Omaha. BLACK/JEWISH RELATIONS What transpired in Omaha during the past year paralleled similar developments on the national scene. Rev. Jesse Jackson's campaign for the Democratic nomination for President produced a disturbance in Black/Jewish relations. This was primarily due to Jackson's remarks concerning "Hymies," and more significantly, his association with Rev. Louis Farrakhan, leader of a fringe group of Black Muslims who has consistently, in his long career, echoed anti-Jewish hostility. These national developments had a direct impact in Omaha when Chambers, Rev. Jackson's Nebraska campaign manager, began issuing anti-Semitic declarations. Chambers' attacks escalated during the summer, culminating in the Omaha World-Herald publishing excerpts from his letter to Louis Farrakhan in which the State Senator mirrored Farrakhan's views towards the Jews.
• •_.
' ADL/CRC responded to Chambers slander of the Jewish community with a strong condemnation. At the same time, efforts to promote improved dialogue between the Black and Jewish communities in Omaha were initiated. Over the past several months, representatives from ADL/CRC have had a series of discussions with representatives of the major Black organizations in Omaha, and, with the cooperation of the National Conference of Christians and Jewish, an ambitious dialogue program has been planned for 1985. In addition; ADL/CRC and parallel groups in the Black community are looking at possible programmatic initiatives we can cooperate on. This would include further enhancing our efforts to improve multicultural instruction and intergroup sensitivity in the public schools. IMPORTANT ACHIEVEMENTS The Anti-Defamation League's first corporate fund raising event-in Omaha involved the participation of ADL/CRC staff and lay volunteers. The ADL presented its prestigious Civic Commitment Award to Northwestern Bell Telephone Company, which has been a corporate leader in promoting human rights in our community. This was done at a luncheon i at the Red Lion Inn on November 20; more than 400 persons were present, including members of the Jewish community, and hundreds of corporate executives. This marked a unique opportunity for our Jewish community to inform an important segment in the non-Jewish community of the interests and issues concerning the Omaha Jewish community.

BUREAU OF JEWISH EDUCATION ANNUAL REPORT 1
The year of 1984 has witnessed the continued progress of the Bureau of Jewish Education. New projects have been initiated while older programs have been strengthened or expanded. Among other areas of focus, in-service training for local teachers, recruitment and assignments of Community Teachers, the annual Israel Pilgrimage, subventions of synagogue programs, scholarships and loans programs, the administration of a special program for the learning disabled, and the beginning of a new program for junior high school students characterize substantial achievements in an active year. The in-seivice programming for local teachers included a seminar on the subject "What Should We Teach About God (or What Shouldn't We)?" The give and take of professional teachers which grew out of this presentation stimulated sufficient interest BO that future programs on the pedagogy of Jewish theology are likely to be planned. In addition, teachers of younger children (preschool through fourth grade) were provided with a series of ingenious songs and other methods through a workshop conducted by "Miss Jackie" Weissman. This program provided teachers of this pivotal age with new ideas for developing the intellectual and emotional faculties of their young charges. With the aid and encouragement of the Bureau, a substantial number of local teachers from both religious schools and the Jewish Day School of Omaha attended the annual meeting of the Coalition on Alternatives in Jewish Education which was held at Palo Alto, California. Not only did the eight participants who attended benefit from presentations of hew materials by teachers throughout North America, but several Omaha teachers made presentations of their own. In 1984, the Community Teacher Program continued to provide speciallytrained full-time professional teachers to all religious schools in the community. The program continued to gain general acceptance nationally as several other communities have implemented plans based upon the Omaha model. In 1984 the Bureau of Jewish Education dispensed $52,358 to the synagogue schools and the day school through a subvention program which not only weighs the quantity of teaching time but also surveys the quality of programs. The allocation system used in Omaha received national attention when an article describing the system was published in Jewish Education, a major journal for the field. The Israel Pilgrimage made substantial progress in recruitment due to the activities of Mrs. Sarita Cooper and Mrs. Linda Mann. Further, a full-scale Israel Pilgrimage Committee has allower' or early contact with prospective pilgrims and their fan.--.es. In 1984 six young people participated on the Ramah Community Pilgrimage. Members of the Nebraska Rabbinical Association presented a preparatory course complete with text books and lectures on various aspects of the history of Israel and the society, political system and archaeology of the modern state. Due to the devotion of Dr. James I. Wax and his committee on learning disabilities, the program to address the needs of local Jewish students with special needs has con-
tinued under the able administration of Mrs. Gilda Pieck, a professional learning disabilities resource teacher. The committee hopes to address the needs of other young people whose problems may not have been fully diagnosed in the past. One of the most innovative programs sponsored by the Bureau of Jewish Education in 1984 wus the intra-city shahbaton for seventh and eighth graders. This program, a result of close ties between the Omaha and Des Moines bureaus of Jewish Education and strong cooperation among Omaha's synagogues, led to two weekends for junior high school students which included Jewish learning and activities. In March an expanded program was sponsored by the Omaha Bureau of Jewish Education. The theme of the weekend was intra-Jewish understanding and young people from Omaha, Dcs Moines, Sioux City, and Lincoln met for a weekend to learn about the similarities and contrasts which are characteristic of the three major branches of Judaism. Respect for each group's approach was emphasized and close friendships among young people at the pivotal junior high school age have developed. Thj weekend was organized under the able direction of Mrs. Cathy Christensen and Cantor Leo Fettman, who also edited a prayer book and manual of grace after meals which included the liturgies of each of the three movements. The program has gained general interest and plans have already been made to have another junior high shabbaton in January of 1985. The program seems to offer the combined advantage of increasing Jewish knowledge and mutual understanding and at the same time providing new friendships for young people from smaller and medium size Jewish communities. In 1984, the Financial Aid Committee of the Bureau of Jewish Education, allocated scholarships from seven endowment funds. (In addition, an eighth fund providing support,for those pursuing graduate studies and special education in Nebraska was endowed by Mr. Phil Sokolof in memory of his beloved wife, Ruth.) These major allocations included loans and scholarships to young people from preschool through graduate school and provide special grants for students participating in Israel Pilgrimage, in the Jewish Day School, in Jewish camping and in a variety of annual conventions of national Jewish organizations. In 1984,75 scholarships and loans were awarded to 69 students by the Financial Aid Committee, ably chaired by Mr. Steven J. Riekes. The substantial accomplishments of the Bureau of Jewish Education could not possibly have been achieved without the extraordinary contributions of its President, Mr. Joseph Kirshenbaum. Mr. Kirshenbaum's constant willingness to deal with all aspects of the Bureau's many programs has strengthened an agency which has a tradition of especially capable presidential leadership. Mr. Kirshenbaum assumed the presidency as a new and expanded board of elected, representative and appointed members was impaneled and he has sagaciously guided that board throughout a year of transition and growth. The entire Bureau is indebted to him for his contributions during this first year of his presidency. Joseph Kirshenbaum, President Dr. Jonathan Rosenbaum, Director
JEWISH FEDERATION LIBRARY ANNUAL REPORT The Federation Library is a regional resource center for Jewish knowledge. Financed by the Jewish Federation of Omaha it is a free public library serving individuals and groups (Jewish and non-Jewish) from the community of Omaha and surrounding areas in Nebraska and Iowa. Books, records and audiovisual materials are made readily available for the express purpose of perpetuating our Jewish heritage through the written, spoken and visual word. The major goal of the Library Committee and staff is to attain the widest possible readership and utilization of the services which the Library offers. The Jewish Book Fair was held in December with many local Jewish organizations as active participants. The goals of this annual event are to provide the Omaha Jewish community with the largest selection of books of Jewish interest compiled in one place at one time, available for purchase; to educate the public to the availability of good Jewish literature; and to create an awareness and stimulate the desire for a Jewish home library. The Book Fair was very well supported by the community judging from the attendance at all four programs and the total number of books sold. The library staff actively cooperated with the staff of the Joslyn Art Museum in connection with the Danzig exhibit. The Library is the subject of an article which will appear in the magazine section of the Omaha World Herald next month. These are significant examples of activities which serve to increase the awareness of the library and its ser* vices' among the Jewish and the general Omaha Community. Plans for 1985 include the acquisition of microfilm
reading equipment and expansion of programming related to books.

JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTER ANNUAL REPORT 1984 was a wonderful year for the Omaha Jewish Community Center! In addition to enjoying its highest Jewish membership support in the new building, a full complement of 12 professionals delivered a varied cudre of programs and services to the JCC membership anJ the Omaha Jew'sh Community. The Omaha Jewish Community Center is well on its way to establish itself as the central address for "all" Jewish families in Omaha. The Center's obligations to its membership, as well as to all the Jews in Omaha, were demonstrated in a myriad of ways during 1934. It is hoped that during 1985 the remaining members of the Jewish community who are not currently members of the Center will recognize the need to support their JCC through membership . . . Only 15$ of each operating dollar comes from the Annual Federation Campaign . . . That's why membership is so vital. Highlights of the 1984 year included the JCC Day Camp, Camp Chaverim, opening the Carl Frohm Pavilion. This open air pavilion enabled the campers to spend the majority of their time outdoors, highlighting a true camp atmosphere. In addition, we again had a summer exchange counselor from Israel. 1984 saw three full stage productions on the JCC stage, indicating that our community theater program has become a vital component to Omaha's Cultural Arts community, while giving the members of the Jewish community an opportunity to become involved in all aspects of theater, and providing the community with a variety of Jewish content plays and plays of Jewish authors. Our indoor and outdoor pools saw their busiest season ever during 1984. Our new Aquatics Director, Lee Ann Jones, has already demonstrated her ability to make things happen when it comes to aquatics. Whether you are 4 or 94, Lee Ann knows how to teach you to swim. We were very happy that Alan El Potash, our Assistant Director of Cultural and Performing Arts and Assistant Director of the Jewish Cultural Arts Council had the opportunity to participate in a 21 day seminar in Israel entitled "Dor 1' Dor", "generation to generation". The seminar was specifically designed for Alan to bring home a piece of Israel and inject it into the JCC of Omaha. More than 200 students ages 4 through adult are enrolled in our ballet, jazz, tap, and modern dance classes at the JCC under the firection of Liz Doherty, our Dance Director. The 1984 JCC C.A.S.T. (Cultural Arts Series Team) provided a wide variety of high quality cultural programs to the community. Plays, films, art exhibits, concerts and dance performances made C.A.S.T. subscribers the "in" groups with regard to cultural arts in Omaha. The Jewish community senses the excitement in the Cultural and Performing Arts Department of the Jewish Community Center. Adult Services of the Jewish Community Center included a variety of classes and special events, as well as the B'nai B'rith Youth programs, guided by director Debra Polsky. In 1984 we welcomed Jodi S. Raven as our new Youth Services Director. Jodi had extensive Jewish Community Center experiences and looked forward to meeting all of our members in grade K-12. The College Choice Workshop which served more than 300 teenagers will be repeated again in the spring of 1985. Gradeschoolers and Junior Highers are invited to get to know Jodi . . . a special person at the JCC for youth.
The JCC Health and Physical Education Department saw the debut of the Jewish Youth Athletic Council, a new organization comprised of representatives and members The library currently has over 3200 registered borrowers. from all of the Jewish youth groups in Omaha.

No, there is no direct connection between all of this and our Sidrah, which completes the Book of Genesis and leaves us poised for the Book of Exodus. But we have just come through another December, and most of the lights of the "season of goodwill" have been coming down. Let us hope that goodwill will not come down along with the lights — and that a fuller understanding of Jiws and Judaism may reach the people in the pulpits and the pews, as it has already reached the people in the higher echelons of the churches that are really sensitive to Christianity.
KEYSTONE**^ BALLROOM
./
An Oxford student was warned that if he didn't change his I habits quickly, he'd ruin his university career and perhaps his whole life. The problem? Drunkenness. He decided to right things at once, and to do it scientifically, by finding the vHUst- of the trouble. So he sought documentation — namely, his diary. "Monday — Scotch and soda. Drunk all day." "Tuesday — Irish whiskey and soda. Drunk all day." "Wednesday — brandy and soda. Drunk all day." "There it is," he said to himself, "the one thing common to them all! I'll certainly have to cut out *ha! soda!" My audience understood. I told them that since they were adults I had no fear of upsetting them, and I told them that anti-Semitism begins in the New Testament, finds a massive addition in,the Church Fathers, particularly in the 4th century, becomes a pattern of massacre during the Crusades, adds several calumnies during the Middle Ages, is nurtured to full growth by Franciscan and Dominican monks in the centuries after the Crusades, becomes part of a Christian psychopathology inherited socially down to our times, and exploded in the racial anti-Semitism of the Nazis a generation ago ... I warned them that these are generalizations — and that fuller treatment required both time and study and patience and goodwill .
By Rabbi Myer S. Kripke Not long ago I was speaking to a group of Christians who had invited me To give them an elementary sketch of Judaism. How much ran one get into a one-hour lecture — leaving time for questions at the end? But I tried. Most Christians are too reticent to ask about antiSemitism, but this time there was such a question. At first blush you will think (as I did!) that the way the question was put implied a deep-seated, but perhaps not virulent, undergrowth of anti-Semitism in the questioner himself. I am happy to report that in speaking with the questioner after the meeting, I became convinced that his question was in no way malicious and was only a way to get attention from the rest of the people present, and to give me opportunity to discuss this touchy subject.. • ... Here is how he put the question: This maybe has nothing to do with the Jewish religion as such, but tell me, why is it that wherever Jews are they have trouble with the people around them? If I drive past a synagogue in Omaha, there's a big sign, "Freedom for Soviet Jews." So it's Russia and the Jews. Forty years ago it was Germany and the Jews. You said that the Zionist Movement began partly because Herzl saw anti-Semitism in France. And you mentioned that Jews had been ejcpelled from one country after another, especially from Spain in 1492. Why can't the Jews live peacefully with their neighbors? Now it's the Arabs and the Jews... . What goes on? The question was put in provocative terms and my mind raced to find the answer that would be telling the cogent, in the few moments we had for discussion. From somewhere back in .' the computer depths of my mind came a story that I had once read. I never told it, because I didn't think it was terribly funny. I told it now — in sketchy brevity.

Moving closer . NEW YORK - Israel and Sp^in ere moving closer to establishing diplomatic relations as unofficial links and contacts intensify, act cording to an American Jewish leader who visited Spain recently. Abraham H. Foxmen, associate national director of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai D'rith and head of the League's International Affairs Division, said, "The exchange of ambassadors ia only a matter of time and we_aie confident that no unexpected hitches will develop," Mr. Foxman, who met with leaders of the Spanish Jewish community, the Spain-Israel Friendship League and an Israeli representative during his weeklong visit, said the two nations "have reached the point in the past year where — unofficially — they have virtually full-fledged relations on the economic, cultural, scientific and political fronts."

Carpeting issue resolved The issue of carpeting versus tile at the Rose Blumkin Jewish Home for the Elderly has been resolved in favor of tile. At the December meeting of the Board of Directors of the Jewish Federation of Omaha, the Directors voted 17 to 3 in favor of upholding the decision of the Bureau for the Aging. The Bureau for the Aging's Board of Directors had voted unanimously to replace worn carpeting with tile to improve sanitation. The 1984 decision reflected a change of course for the Federation's Board in that the Board had voted in 1982 (16 to 5) in favor of carpeting in effect overruling the Bureau for the Aging's earlier decision. Federation Board member I. M. Tretiak articulated the minority position by saying that continuation with carpeting in some of
the rooms involved a "moral responsibility" to many of those who funded the Home. The Bureau for the Aging's proposal said that if a new resident desired carpeting and was prepared to pay the cost, permission would be granted.
Prizewinners NEW YORK — The $100,000 Jabotinsky prize for outstanding service in defense of the rights of the Jewish people, was awarded jointly to Ambassador Yehudah Z. Blum, Israel's permanent representative to the United Nations from 1978-84, Nazi hunter Beate Klarsfeld, and Soviet Jewish prisoner Anatoly B. Scharansky.
