According to Sheldon Filger, Jud(;e Van Pelt Plains States Regional Director, ADL, the Torch of Liberty Award is given to an individual who has made an outstanding contribution toward furthering American democratic values and serving the community. Past recipients include Mifton Abrahams, Jule Newman, Father Michael Morrison, president of Creighton University and Sam and Magda Fried.

mist groups and monitoring -the activities of those in Nebraska. In October, 1984, he was appointed by Gov. Bob Kerrey to investigate the Arthur Kirk thooting in Cairo, Neb. Kirk had blamed the Jews for the loss of his farm, and was killed after a confrontation with law enforcement officials. Officials later found anti-Semitic literature in his home. Judge Van Pelt has studied extremist groups as they relate to the farm crisis, and has warned of the dangers of these organizations on the ABC news magazine "20/20's" report, "The Seeds of Hate." "Judge Van Pelt has made an outstanding contribution to the citizens of the state of Nebraska by devoting a significant amount of his time to monitoring and exposing antiSemitic extremists," said Mr. Filger. "Judge Van Pelt has publicly condemned the efforts of extremists to exploit the farm crisis for the purpose of arousing anti-Semitism in this state," he added, referring to those organizations which have taken advantage of desperate farmers both monetarily and emotionally, by blaming the Jews for the plight of the rural economy.

The General Assembly of the Council of Jewish Federations — considered;by many as the "parliament" of the organized Jewish communities in the United States and Canada — is opening its annual conclave Nov. 13 in Washington with a mountainous agenda of over 100 forums and workshops on domestic issues, 25 on Israel-related issues,1 and about 25 related to other Jewish communities overseas. It will be the largest assembly in the CJF's history, with more than 3,000 foremost lay and professional leaders from about 800 large nad small communities — from those having a Jewish population of more than 100,000 to those having less than 100. This testifies to the role the Federations are playing in the American Jewish community, the scope of their activities, and their increasing strength from year to year. It also testifies to the tremendous role which thoir central body, the CJF, plays in guiding these activities and in assuming partnership with Israel and responsibility with world Jewry. The CJF has advanced a long way in tho scope of its activities from the time it was formed in 1932 by 19 Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds. Today it represents all the Federations which embrace 95 percent in the U.S. and Canada. It is their broadest communal instrument davised t o ' meet the needs of the Jewish people the world over, including the humanitarian needs in Israel. Virtually every major Jewish need and responsibility is on the General Assembly's agenda. Every aspect of Amsr- . ican Jewish life will bs discussed in depth. The federations, with their vigorous leaderships and dynamic and creative activities, have bscomo the financial back-hone of all majororganizations arid institution's engaged in meeting the rniilr tifarious needs of Amorican Jewry. They currently raiGD.... more than $600 million annually in their fund-raising earn- . paigns and aim for $1" billion a year. Their leadership" is certain that this goal can be achieved within a few yearsr }. They also constitute art important factor in helping jnalre historic decisions on major changes in the world that con-

The current CJF president is Shoshana Cardin, the first woman in Jewish history elected to the position of'Rosh Hakehilot" — the head of the central body of organized Jewish communities. As such, she is the president of the largest Jewish community in the world. She was born in Tel Aviv and brought to the U.S. aa a youngster by her father, a Hebrew teacher and writer who settled in Baltimore. She has a basic Jewish education, is well versed in Jewish knowledge and speaks Hebrew and Yiddish fluently. • **. American understanding and support for Israel is apriority concern for the CJF. In order to bolster U.S. Administration and Congressional support for Israel — as well as America's understanding of Israel's vital role — the CJF The Jovvioh Federation of Omaha will receive three has organized meetings of Federation presidents of major awardo-at the upcoming General Assembly.

"We didn't have our passports with us," said Viola Meskin, 70, and there was-nothing to mark them ns U.S. citizens. However, it never entered their mind3 to lie since "we are proud to be Americans and we wanted to be with our friends," she said. Both said that they would go back-to Italy to testify and help convict the terrorists. "I think the evidence we can present will enhance the probability of convicting them," Seymour Meskin said.' When asked if he might not be afraid to return, Meskin replied boldly, "I'm 71 years old. How much longer am I going to live anyway?" He added wryly that he would not "protest" the death penalty for the four men charged with hijacking the ship and killing their close friend Leon Klinghoffer. . "..-.. Mrs. Meskin said: "I want them to have as much discomfort as we had" and to be punished "for the terrible thing they did toXeon. Terrorists get away with too much." The Meskins related how they were "innocently having lunch" when the trouble started. Meskin remembered heading two set's of gun shots, one set when the Palestinians entered the dining room and other shots outside. Everyone was ordered to "Get down." They heard later that a crew member had been hit in the shoulder and another in the

"It \;r, th^ ~<cl est thing I've ever seen," Mra. Meskin said. Aften aids, they asked the captain why he said what he did and his reply was "with a gun at my head and a ship and pa- enLera to worry about, I would have kissed their feet to g,t rid of them." Mt3l:m had. words of praise for Captain de Rosa whom he asserted had been most supportive and sympathetic at all times. "He (de Rosa) walked around often urging us to keep calm and not get excited." Meskin had* the opportunity in Sicily to be one of the four people to identify the terrorists. (The others were Mrs. Klinghoffer, Judge Stanley Kubacki of Philadelphia, and Sylvia Sherman), Meakin, noted that it was a normal policetype line-up and that he was positively able to identify at least oneof the"hijackers,"-"I was pleased as punch that I could identify him and put the finger on him," the retired/Union accountant said. When questioned about reports by several foreign officials that their friend, Leon Klinghoffer was not murdered but died of a heart attack, Mrs.Meksin angrily responded, "He <;ould not possibly have had a heart attack, walked out of hia chair and thrown it overboard." Klinghoffer, whom the.Meskjns have known for 15 years, was'described by Mrs. Meskin as a "sweet, loving, kind father and husband . . . this man was physically damaged and was taken advantage of," she added. (ED. N(OTE: Mrs. Meskin's words proved to be prophetic as later in the week Klinghoffer's body was washed ashore at Syria. Two bullet holes were found on the body).. Aside from going abroad to testify, the Meskins said that ( it is unlikely that they would take a trip out of the United ' States'ever again.

With the sale of the Kapulier shul building on Cuming street, the question arose: . What will happen to the religious artifacts and what, if anything, can be preserved for future generations? Luckily for the Jewish population here the Society was already galloping at a fast clip and the answer was lightning fast — "Let's save what we can and someday recreate the old shul in a condensed version so that the essence~ of the Jewish life experienced there can be preserved for future generations." " The Jewish Federation of Omaha approved the concept and the Society speedily organized an open house, engaged carpenters, and secured storage space. The only question that remains is who's going to pay the bill. At this moment, the cost of the operation is sorne-^ what clouded. The Society knows only that it does not have enough money in its treasury to pay the cost. Consequently, the Society is undertaking a fund drive asking the Jewish community to respond generously for a cause that touches the Jewish heart.

"We are proceeding with the job. We have faith that our community will respond to this worthwhile effort," Mary Fellman, president of the NJHS, told the Jewish Press. There is no doubt that the 300 or so members of the community who attended the dramatic closing ceremony of the shul will contribute. They were touched with an undefinable need to preserve what they were experiencing. ; For those-who were not there, we can only say that the opportunity to preserve the memory of a longstanding shul with an active congregational life is one that should be'supported. Memories are forever.

you might call this bragging, and that isn't nice, but maybe when you read about it, I will be forgiven. What I want to brag ybout is the fnct that here at the JCC we often have many important visitors. For example, authors of great renown tuch aa Cliaim, 1'otok, Stephen Birmingham, Max Dimont and inuny more familiar people. We've also hud Theodore Bikel, the Yoga lady Lilias, TV personality Gavin MacLeod and the bi(; basketball coach, Willis lleed. The point is, when you look around the corridors you see more than the staff (to eay nothing of the greut numbers of volunteers!). All kind3 of folks circulate, and today we I really had a fella that everybody can relate to. We had the Bagel King himself — Mr. Lender, from Lender Bagels! Now I ask you, is this not important? • And he's such a nice, hamioha mench. Ho looked into our Jewish Preeo office while touring the building and visited for a minute . . . in fact, he caught one of us munching a cookie and quipped "that ought to be a bagel". Since he didn't bring any with him, nor the cream cheese to go along with it, we weren't able to comply. Actually, if ho viBited on a regular basis Jhe would know that we do, in fact, often have bagels to go with the coffee. Don't tell him they come from the local bageltorium though. I don't know why food in the office is such a routine event — nor do I know if we're bigger fressers than average; I DO know that there's usually something to eat. Maybe it's because there's always a pot of coffee and the tendency is to look for something to go with it. I also don't know if that's particularly Jewish or if it'B particularly "newspaperish", but I know somebody is always bringing in something to munch on, whether it's popcorn or cookies. I myself have been guilty during various holiday seasons. When I'm baking the honey cakes for Yom Tov, I usually take a sample to the office; and if I try a new recipe while baking I like to include the fressers of the JP in my opinion poll. So there we have j t . . . two important items at your local JCC — famous people and food. I'll let you decide which rates highest! ' .

AVERAGE ELECTRICITY USAGE

Introducing the new and improved-Level Payment Plan that pays interest, too. Now you can avoid'the ups and downs of your electric.bill with the new Level Payment Plan from OPPD. It's based on yourayerage use of electricity, so you can make the same payment every month. It not only makes household budgeting easier, but helps you get through those months when your electricity use is high. Once a year, in November, your account will be adjusted for overpayment or underpayment. At that time, if you are underpaid by more than your monthly Level Payment amount, the excess balance will be spread over your next year's payments. Now pays 7% interest. What's more, OPPD now pays interest on any monthly credit balance computed at an annual rate of seven percent arid credited ' in November when your account

is adjusted. It's like money in the bank. And there's no penalty when your Level Payment is less than the actual electricity you use. You don't even need to worry about paying the gross amount.
