hs rafabs ayg« Sings from th i f\telrw ' By Rabbi Sidney H. Brooks Rabbi Emeritus of Teraplo Icruel The rabbinical calling imposes an awesome responsibility (o speak both for the Jewish heritage and for the constituency one represents.

A more serious charge is to be, asked to write for one's colleagues. It i3 to be hoped that no one needs to be informed that all rabbis do not think alike and that each rabbi io human with his own emotional and spiritual views. .

Nevertheless, it can safely be assumed . that there are spme central hopes and dreams that most, if not all, rabbis would agree upon and would certainly be those of the rabbis resident in Omaha. Perhaps the following would represent the aspirations, the hopes and prayers of the rabbio for our people in Nebraska and, indeed, everywhere in the coming Year. k First, we trust that the heritage of Judaism, however conceived, would ba a support and a guide and not a problem. The Jewish People has always had its problems.

Which people has not? Ours may appear to many to be overly burdensome and demanding of our time and effort and our funds. But Judaism has its glories,, its reasons for pride and exaltation, its light on our way. May ths New Year give reason to all to find in the teachings and life-style of

Sharon Cipperley, prfeaident, National Council-., of:- Jowicli Women, Omaha Section, shows liow a resi d e n t of t h e Rose Blumkin Jewish Homo may use an oxygen condenser. The Council, which makes an a n n u a l gift of $5,000 to the Homo, purchased two of the condensers for its gift this year. The condensers a r e able to concentrate oxygen from room air thereby eliminating most needs for tank-supplied oxygen. B e r t Lewis (right) president of the Bureau for the Aging, said NC JW has made its generous monetary gift for, the past 20 years 'making possible a better life for residents of the Rose Blumkin Jewish Home and formerly the Dr. Philip Sher Home.

Judaism and support in whatever fate lies in store for each of us.

Second, let it be hoped that the celebration of the»High Holiday season not be an end in itself, nor a climax of observance to begin a year of steady decline. Prayers and ritual were never ends in themcelves for understanding Jews. In the New Year it is to be hoped that our ritual observances will lead to moral observances and ethical sensitivities that will make U3 more than ever an example to others of God-conscious living.

Thirdly, it is a devout hops of rabbis that their Iive3 are devoted to Torah not for the sake of children alone but for all Jews, young and older. May the New Year bo one of searching for wisdom and knowledge in the heritage of Judaism and anywhere that yields the fruits of insights into the exalted meaning of life.

As the rabbis lead in prayer and teaching, among their prayers will be the fervent one that someone is truly listening. We have no misgiving about the "ribono shel olam", the Master of the World. But let us hope that. all of us hear and act upon the words of our mouths. . .

Then indeed will our prayers for "chayim tovim" the good life of peace and goodness be realized for us all. .

Omahan Julie Waner heads midwest NCSY Julie Weiner was recently elected president of the Midwest Region of the National Conference of Synagogue Youth (NCSY) for the 1985-86 year at the regional summer convention held here in Omaha last June. Midwest region is NCSY's oldest and largest region, spanning nine states and central Canada, and consists of 14' cities and chapters. It has a history of over 50 years, more than 20 years than the national organization.

This is Julie's third year on the regional board. She has previously held positions as recording secretary and vice president of programming. She has also been on Omaha Kadimah's boards for the past five years, serving positions as corresponding secretary, vice president of programming, and four terms as chapter president. She also served a year as present of Tovim, Omaha's junior NCSY chapter.

Julie's main duty as regional president will be to travel throughout Midwest region, attending both chapter and regional Shabbatones, and will probably travel an excess of 600,000 square miles, visiting cities north to south from Winnipeg Canada to Memphis Tennessee, and east to west from Wichita, Kansas to Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Julie's basic goal for the year is to build up the in-

Julio V/ciccr dividual chapters throughout the region. She will elso play a very influential role in the possible addition of two more areas to the region — the eventual addition of Texas, which consists of three major cities, and a merger with Chicago region.

The first major Shabbaton of the year, which will be an inter-regional in Chicago in late October, could play a major role in this possible merger.

She will also have a lot to do with the planning of all of the major regional Shabbatones and conventions.

Julie is the third in the Weiner family to serve as regional president, a first for both Midwest and National NCSY. Her sisters Mindy (1980-81) and Wendy (198182) have served previously.

Julie, who last spring received the Jewish Federation's teen leadership award, is the daughter of A. Richard and Ina Weiner, and is the granddaughter of Dr. J. M. Margolin of Omaha and Ed and Tillie Weiner of Villisca, Iowa.

By Kenneth Jacobsea, Director Middle Eastern Affairs Department Anti-Defamation Lesgue of B'nai B'rith As South Africa moves deeper into crisis, the democratic nations of the West seek a proper response. A!! kinds of questions are being asked. Should they disinvest? Does constructive engagement bring results? Will. South'African blacks be the ones most hurt by V/tutorii titnetions? How will the West's strategic interests be effected should the current government in South Africa fail?

It is generally recognized in the United States and Western Europe that eventa within South Africa will be- the determining factor in its future. But-as the primary trading and fii.tncial partners with the South Africans, the major Western nations have a say as-well — the urgent viait of South African economic leaders to the West for talks concerning outstanding loans to Western banks highlights this point.

For one democracy, Israel, the problem is somewhat different. There the question is not how Israel can affect change in the South African regime — it can't — but rather how Israel can live up to its highest ideals in a world that makes it difficult to ignore its narrow self-interests.

Israel is a rather insignificant player in South Africa's international economic picture. Only about 0.5 percent of South Africa's trade takes place with Israel; the vast majority occurs with the United States, Japan, Great Britain, France, West Germany and Black Africa itself. Should Israel stop all business with South Africa tomorrow the impact on the South Africa regime would be nil. Therefore what Israel may or may not do should not be a matter of moment to those who view international pressure on South Africa economic institutions as a key to change..

But for Israel itself the issue is one of profound significance. It highlights in the starkest terms the dilemma of a nation in crisis since its creation, trying to live up to its ideals while often forced to take extreme measures to protect its interests. Unlike other Western nations with far more involved relations with Pretoria, Israel's relationship has been shaped by harsh realities.

In the 1950's and 1960's, an outspoken opponent of apartheid, Israel built up a series of relationships with newly independent Black African states. In the eyes of these states, Israel held a special place alongside China in the way it provided technological assistance. Golda Meir, heavily involved in this process, described it well: "There was one great satisfaction in those 10 years,

and that was the relationship we established with the new independent countries of Africa and Asia. That really gave me satisfaction, because I saw in it not only a political gain. Here were these people beginning to tackle problems and face challenges they were not always prepared to meet. It vves natural that we, as Jews, with our pact history, would have u Sot in common with them, end should join h^nda with them and share with them our experience."

Tlis 1973 war end Arab oil pressure brought about an end to that era. Suddenly, Israel, long the subject of the Arab and other international boycotts, now found itoelf virtually fjx-ludud from e part of theWorld that had welcomed it earlier. Increasingly biinj forced into a greater sense of isolation, Isrtel accepted tYt'M'ls wherever they might appear. Pretoria way more than ready. Today, en Israel works diligently to recoup its former place in Black Africn, it still finds itself relatively ieoiated on the continent, and thus does not have the latitudo'of decision-making in its dealings with South Africa that the rent of the West — with its full relations with Black Africa — has.

Another reality for Israel, a land dedicated to the wellbeing of Jews wherever they may be, is the presence of more than 100,000 Jews in South Africa. Aa Prime Minister Shimon Peres recently noted, Israeli policymakers cannot ignore the impact on those Jews of Israel's position vis-a-vis South Africa.

Israeli policy on South Africa involves factors not faced by other states. At the same time, however, there is' for Israel a fundamental issue which touches on the very meaning of its existence. While the United Nations has disgraced itself with the lie that Zionism is racism, the leaders and pedple of Israel know that one of the very purposes of Zionism,is rejection of racism. The Jewish state is a testament to combating one of the most virulent forms of racism — anti-Semitism. And the natural drive within Israel is to oppose today's'most ugly manifestation of racism — apartheid.

Israel's current government under Prime Minister Pere3 understands these various forces at work. It knows that what Israel does or does not do vis-a-vis South Africa will not affect the apartheid regime's future. It knows that Israel, still treated as a pariah by so many nations under" the sway of the Arabs or Soviets, cannot afford to dispose of a South African relationship as readily as the other nations of the West. It knows that Israel has to consider the future of the South African Jewish communit>>Vhen it considers its relations with the regime. But it also knows that Israel must be true to its own ideals and must act within its limited sphere, particularly at a time that the international community has finally begun to take a serious stand against Pretoria.

The recent visit to Israel of Zulu Chief Mangosuthu Gatsha Buthelezi, the meetings in South Africa arid in Israel between Israeli representatives and black community leaders point to Israel's pursuit of its ideals. Programs of technical and educational assistance to the black community, similar to those with Black African states in the 1960's, are being developed. Increasingly, Israel will show its solidarity with those who oppose apartheid not only by condemning the regime and the system, but-by working on a day-to-day basis with those working for change.

Considering its marginal influence and its own harsh realities, Israel can do no more. Considering its profound identification with the forces against racism, Israel can do no less.

Some years after tho close of World War II, a young rabbi sent to Germany by the World Union for Piogressive Judaism, discovered amidst the ruins of East Berlin, a cache of documents from the destroyed Jewish community of Amsterdam.

Rabbi Nathan Peter Lc-vinson, who was ordained at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in 1948, rescued the collection and offered the 44,640 documents to his alma mater where they have remained, in Cincinnati, for 35 years.

The papers, which had been looted by the Nazis from Amsterdam's major Ash, kenazic synagogue, encompass engagement, and marriage contracts, civil marriage certificates, the transfer or sale of synagogue seats, partnership agreements, cemetery records and birth and death certificates, and date from 1753 through. 1939. , . .

At the request of the present Jewish community of Amsterdam, the documents were recently returned . by the college in a formal ceremony attended by leading members of Dutch Jewry.

HAIFA — What were the ten new names that made headlines in Israel during the past year? Each year, at Iioch Hashanah, we enumerate in alphabetical order tha new personalities which, for ons reason or another, kud the floodlights of publicity played upon them this year for the first time.

Dr.' Avrchain £>u!iasii. His resignation as chief executive officer of Elsciut, after the company reported that it had lost 33 million dollars in 1984, came as a shock to all who had looked upon Elscint as one of the most prominent and most successful of the high technology industries of Israel. The company is still very much in business, but the fall of its founder and moving spirit created shock waves.

Yitzhak Tunik, government Comptroller, caused a senr sation when he issued his report exposing the conditions which had led up to the collapse of the shares of ali of Israel's leading banks. The government had stepped in to save the country's financialstructure, but investigations are still going on seeking to fix the blame for what had occurred.

How many of this year's top then will still have any meaning a year from now? And how many of last year's new names in the news can you identify now? They were: Tereza Anghelovici, Yasser Arafat, Yona Avrushmi, Justice Gabriel Bach, Yigal Cohen-Orgad, Assaf Hefetz, Hehudit Karp, Yaacov Levinson, Mcriahem Livni and Lisa Peretz.

Hi, I'm Seth Schachman.

• I would like you to read this article, please. It's about my grandfather, Max Greenfield who just passed away recently.

I decided to write an article about him in his memory. He dedicated his life to the Jewish community. If anyone needed anything he was eager to help.'He was that kind of person.

• • . , He was also a family man. In his years of retirement he worked out at the JCC. • He was very close to his grandchildren.

He will be missed by many people. He was a really great man.

By Irvin0 Greenberg, president National Jewish Center for Learning and Leaderohip National Jewish Center for Learning and Leadership Operation Moses, the airlift of thousands of Ethiopian Jews to Israel, filled world Jewry with religious exhiliration, like a New Exodus. It was therefore jarring to learn that the Chief Rabbinate of Israel was requiring them to undergo ritual "conversion" as if they had to establish their status as Jews, after all.

Initially, the rabbinate justified the conversion requirements as a stringency (l'humra) applied to anyone of questionable, Jewish status so as to remove any possible challenge to their identity as Jews. But Ethiopian Jewry's status has been upheld in the halakhic literature since the sixteenth century. After much criticism (including Prime Minister' Shimon Peres' intervention), the rabbinate dropped its demands for symbolic circumcision, explaining that circumcisions performed in Ethiopia were valid and acceptable. ' The immersion requirement was sustained, however, justified by some who argue that over the centuries, non-Jews may have married into the Ethiopian community, bearing non-Jewish offspring. Others hold that the Beta Israel (as the Ethiopian Jews call themselves) lacked the competence to do divorces (gittin) according to rabbinic law. Therefore, there might be illegitimate children (mamzerim) from second marriages. Being considered non-Jews and undergoing conversion would free Ethiopian Jews of such a "taint" because non-Jewa do not nped gittin to dissolve their marriages, not being bound by Jewish law.

However, the strict religious behavior of the Beta Israel, their well-nigh non-existent divorce rate, and their outsider status in Ethiopian society make intermarriage and illegitimacy highly unlikely. Furthermore, the former Chief Rabbis (Rabbis Ovadia Yosef and Shlomo Goren) averred publicly that the Ethiopians were fully Jewish and needed no ritual — immersion, circumcision, or otherwise. (This was a landmark ruling, for it helped turn the tide and paved the way for Menahem Begin's reversal of governmental policy toward bringing the Ethiopians home.)

Why then have the current rabbis inflicted this requirement on Ethiopian Jews? After all, the rabbinate's record on the issue is at least as good as that of its American critics.

The rabbinate's performance on the ingathering of Ethiopian'Jewry is one more unfortunate result of the growing , establishment of religion in Israel. The Rabbinate is insulated from society and from constituency groups. It does, however, remain subject to the peer pressure of the world of yeshiva learning and the judgment of right-wing Orthodoxy which is sceptical of all conversion and is constantly pressuring for "stricter" rulings. The rabbinate is more sensitive to its- traditionalist critics than it is to the sense of history and the fitness of the bulk of Jewry: (Not until a large group of Ethiopians resisted and dramatized theissue could a counter force alter the Rabbinate's decision.)

The insulation of the Israeli rabbinate from popular values and choice ha3 allowed the'. East European Yeshiva . world to impose ito values vis-a-vis secular study and the news media on Israeli rabbis. The latter do not go to college:

in most cases they do not watch television or films; many do not even read newspapers. When Bar Ilan University, the Orthodox university in Israel, proposed providing rabbinical training for college graduates, enormous pressures were brought to stay it. Such actions and attitudes separate these rabbis from the public and from public criticism of their actions.

This also accounts for their poor public relations skills and their tendency often to handle issues insensitively. Halakhah has its own legal structure and halakhists do not merely register opinion. But rabbis are much less likely to rule constructively if they have neither experience nor sympathy for other's claims.

MoBt people do not see the connection between university study for rabbis and the many issues that inflame religioussecular relationships in Israel. The most recent issue was Rabbi Peretz' comment that the train crash that killed school children in Petach Tikvah was divine retribution for the opening of a, theater on Friday night (Shabbat) in that town.

Until the broad public (including the religious public) restructures the training for the Israeli rabbinate and its relationship to its constituencies, ugly incidents will recur regularly to further polarize Israeli society. One cannot expect another Rabbi Kook, who embraced all sides, to emerge from the Israeli rabbinate without the creation' of a much broader educational and socializing process.

Until Bar Ilan starts training rabbis or until disestablishment of the Rabbinate occurs, sharp publicity and constant public pressure will help mitigate some of the more glaring miscarriages. But these are no solutions for the long run.

The Beta Israel situation dramatizes two major lucunae in American and world Jewish life.

One is the lost opportunity for world Jewry in the current Chief Rabbinate setup. Lehavdil (by contrast), the Pope gains enormous press and media coverage for all his trips, and pronouncements. This serves as a tremendous force for spreading Catholic ideas and values to all groups — not least to the Catholics. Pope John Paul II is living proof that religious leaders need not be all modern or liberal to be heard. Such leaders do, however, need to be culturally au courant and able to speak articulately to the issues.

Jews are a media prone and interested group, yet remain the most unreached by religious, institutions and channels.

An articulate, respected Chief Rabbi of Israel who came across as a twentieth century figure (albeit a critic) could be a tremendous communicator of Jewish values and teachings through the media.

Instead of fighting internecine religious warfare that weakens all groups, American Jews should give serious consideration to creating an equivalent religious office to get the Jewish message out to all the constituencies — affiliated and unaffiliated alike.

The other great lacuane is the absence of a Strategy Center for Jewish Survival, a think tank that is not totally preoccupied with the day-to-day needs of Jewry (and itself).

When Halevy found the Beta Israel community in the nineteenth century, they reportedly numbered 250,000. About 10,000 of them have been saved — with perhaps another 10,000 waiting to be saved. The rest were lost, a terrible price for the absence of a framework/institution designed to rally world Jewry to the broadest issues of national outreach and survival.

How many more Jews must be lost before we create this missing link?. .

To increase awareness about its existence and to provide an informational service to community professionals, the Jewish Federation of Omaha Foundation will sponsor its second annual tax seminar on Oct. 18 at Highland Country Club.

Speaking at the seminar will be' Conrad Teitell, LL.B., LL.M., an authority on taxation, philanthropy and estate planning. Mr. Teitell, a partner of Prernu and Teitell, is a member of the New York Bar, District of Columbia Bar, and editor and publisher of "Taxwise Giving."

Conrad Teitell "The ever changing world of tax rules and regulations requires professionals in the business to be as current with those changes as possible," said Paul Cohen, chairman of the seminar. "The easiest way to stay'current is by conducting, a seminar with a knowledgeable professional who can impart information and answer questions."

The talk Mr. Teitell will deliver at this seminar is "Philanthropy and Estate Planning: Charitable Contribution Tax Strategies." Highlights of his speech will include stra- . tegic planning of accelerated charitable deductions in light of the proposed tax law changes; diversifying investments through charitable giving; and using life insurance in charitable giving.

Included in the seminar fee is a copy of Mr. Teitell's 236 page course outline. There has also been tentative approval given for three hours of continuing professional education credit from the Nebraska State Board of Public Accountancy for seminar attendance. An application for continuing education credit has been submitted to Nebraska Department of Insurance and the Iowa Supreme Court Commission on Continuing Legal Education.

"The purpose of our putting on the seminar ia two-fold," Mr. Cohen said. "We want to stress, awareness, not soles. • What we won't do IB sell our Foundation. We just want to be on the list of those things to be considered, and we want to#give ourselves credibility. -We want to make those people in the industry aware we're around and we want to provide a'service." ~ For more information on the seminar contact Endowment Director Jerold Rosen at 334-8200.

The Yom Kippur htus^y has many moving passages, prayers that touch us deeply. • But one passs^o that impresses me year by year is the Haftarah of the morning Bervice, the famous 58th chapter of Isaiah. The prophet warns his audience, as prophets have besn doing since the time of Amo3, that formal religion just doesn't suffice.

No matter how many the prayers, no matter how beautiful the music, no matter how sincere the praise — it is all meaningless unless it is translated into action.

What action? Feeding the poor and hungry, providing housing for the homeless, clothing the naked.

Judaism has taken a stance at this point — and in the prophetic period generally — that the heart of religion is not worship but social action. Fasting is good, especially on Yom Kippur — providing that it reminds the worshiper that some must fast because they have no food.

one or another of the religions of the East. These religions are even less known to people in the West than Islam, which is also poorly understood in the West.

But the Eastern religions (this generalization may require much qualification) counsel withdrawal from the struggles of life, and retreat into a contemplative, meditative life of the spirit.

Phrases like "knowledge of the Kingdom within," "a pure state of being," "the pure creative energy of the universe," "the fullness of love," "the pinnacle of light and peace," and others of similar sound and illusive meaning abound in these religions and the cults that derive from them.

This "quietism" may be acceptable in its own indigenous setting. But it seems to me that it has little place in the WestenTworld. Quietism doss not address the great problems of the contemporary world. Would quietism, and, shall we say, the passive resistance of ' Ghandi, have made any mark whatever on Nazism?

Can Soviet oipansiinigm be contained to any degree at all by passive resistance, which means no resistance?

Eastern religions emphasize the individual's' quest for direct espsrience of God, and beauty, and holiness.

But they do not come to grips with poverty, exploitation, ignorance, and waste.

Science, advances in health care, food production, attention to living conditions — all these demand a more active approach to life.

Judaiom demands the psrformanca of mitzvot, of "ethical duties, as well as ritual duties. Fasting is a ritual duty — but the mitzvah is completed only when the worshiper seoka out the widow, tho orphan, t h e stranger, the powerless — with tho helping hand of food arid clothing and shelter and educational opportunity.

If Yom Kippur is to be observed, our Haftarah reminds us, fasting is the beginning, not tho end. Indeed there is no end. There is only a continuing effort, an active effort, to bring in the Kingdom of God by what man can do.

When tho hungry ore before us (and. our world is such that the hungry are always before us!), there is no timo to meditate. There io only time to provide food for -the hungry. .'.'..

• F a s t if you will, the prophets tell us — but ba . aware that tho fast that the Lord dssires'is social action, caring for the under-privileged. Loving God, from this point of view, moans loving His creatures and coring for them.

The marquee of the bus read "Mollie'e Finest".

Seeing the Kansas City skyline is breathtaking. Our stop ai Crown Center is always a special treat.

At the Tiffuny Dinner Theater, we had a delicious and plentiful dinner. The play "Mischief" was a riot and we laughed end laughed!

We visited Swope Park Zoo; Ann Margolin and Margie Nearenberj; rode an elephant.

For lunch we drove to

Joey's Barn Restaurant, which is a 60-year old red barn. We then visited Seviile Square on the Plaza, where the old Sears Building was remodeled into many lovt-ly chops.

In the evening, we were guests at the Jewish Community Ceiiter for a very nice dinner, and we were entertained by the Senior Citizen Choral Group, 17 singers strong, who put on a beautiful piogrum. Following this performance, the rock group "Sugar and Spice" entertained us. We presented the Kansas City Group with a lucite Men-

orah and we were given a gift of postalettes.

We went to the new Hfillimark Visitors Center and enjoyed an interesting and. beautiful tour. The entire Hallmark Coinplei is breathtaking. From Hallmark Center we drove to the Wornsll HGUSB,, a pre-Civil

"When I decided to look Remington Heights over, immediately I knew this was what I wanted.

"The cost is more reasonable here than where I was living, which wasn't near as nice, and the utilities and meals weren't included all in one package.

"Here it's like one big family. Everyone knows each other, so it's a very friendly place. You wouldn't believe the love and kindness they show you here. I'm not a bit lonely. There's no time to be, because there's plenty of activity. For example, we go out shopping once a week to someplace different every time.

. Did you know?

There were 203 Douglas County voters in the first Territorial elections in December of 1854, but few of these actually lived in Nebraska through that first winter. The newly elected legislators gathered here in January, 1855 and selected Omaha to be the capital of the Territory. Soon lots in town were being snatched up by speculators as well as serious homesteaders. A powerful "claim club" was formed to protect the local "establishment" against claim jumpers.

Did you know?

The volunteer Fire. Department had its first headquarters in a small building at Twelfth and Douglas Streets, and the nearby Lutheran Church pastor, the Rev. H.W. Kuhns, for many years sounded the fire alarm by ringing his church bell.

A.leading character in the comedy, set to open Nov. 16, is Samuel Horowitz who is seventy-two, a widower und of immigrant origin. Playing opposite him, as his strong minded nurse, is the character of Mrs. Harriet Washington who is a nice looking black practical nurse in her early 60.

Dr. Tannenbaum (age 4060), and Conrad Bruton, Mrs. Washington's 12-yearold grandson.

Resentment turns to respect in thiB new play never before' performed in the Omaha area."
