Ernest A. Nogg, 8405 Indian Hills drive, a Jewish community leader and a business executive, died Nov. 18 at his home after a long illness. He , was 80. Ernest Nogs Graveside services took place Wednesday at Beth El Cemetery with Rabbi Myer Kripke officiating. In addition to his wife, Ruth, Mr. Nogg is survived by son, Alan; daughter, Barbara Frankel, four grandchildren; brothers, Nathan and E. Leo, all of Omaha. A native; of Council Bluffs, Mr. Nogg served the Jewish community as president

of the Jewish Federation of Omaha in 1962, as chairman of the Federation Campaign in 1955, and as a past president of Beth El Men's Club' • Among his many leadership roles was the part he played in founding the Esther K. Newman camp which served the Jewish community for many years before becoming part of the Nebraska park system. Together with his brother, Nathan, Mr. Nogg founded the Nogg Bros. Paper Co. and served as president and chairman of the board. Although he retired in 1980, he remained active in the business until his illness. The family has suggested donations to favorite charities.

The vast majority of Jews in this country give little for Jewish causes in proportion to their income and assets. The Bible instructs that one should give "maaser" — 10 percent of income to charity. Approximately one million Jewish households with a median income of between $30,000 to $70,000 a year, the great majority of whom are very small families, don't give at all. Of the Jewish millionaires — and there is today quite a large number of them, according to the Council of Jewish Federations — only a very small percentage make big gifts to Jewish fundraising. This picture emerges from information gathered by the CJF from local Federations, throughout the country, in seeking to establish the present giving to the Federation campaigns. The CJF asserts that the potential for increased giving is "tremendous." One Federation reported that one of its contributors who is among the wealthiest people in the U.S. gives only $2,500 to the Federation'campaign. , Of course, there are others whose contributions run higher than $100,000 and even from $250,000 to over $1 million. But these are very small in number. Many in that category prefer that np publicity be given to his contribution. At a dinner in New York tendered in honor of a wellknown philanthropist Jack D. Weiler by the United Jewish Appeal, I met Jewish millionaires whose name were not even known to Jews. They believe in "Matan B'Sesser"— in giving without being identified. Most of the one million Jewish households who do not

By Susan Paley Campaign publicity Omaha Jewish women of the Chai/Grand Gifts Division of the 1986 Women's Federation Campaign will be honored and entertained by a special group of Jewish men at the Chai/Grand Gifts luncheon on Tuesday, Dec. 3. . "We just can't keep our program a secret any longer," said a delighted Mickey Sturm,

special events chairman for the Grand Gifts Division. "Our ladies will be treated to a fabulous afternoon. The luncheon will be held at the beautiful Marriot Hotel, and a special menu is being prepared just for us. After lunch, those present will be the recipients of a program designed completely in their honor. "We ,have chosen some of our favorite (continued on page 28)

contribute to Federation/UJA campaigns claim that they weren't asked. Others are among the 250,000 Jewish households who are "on the move." At any given time five to ten percent of the Jewish population is relocating, and too often severing connection with the Jewish community. This means a loss, at a minimum, of 10 percent of the Federation's campaign base. The CJF is now designing a system that would help find the relocated Jewish givers in their new places of residence and to bring them back into making their contributions. Although the number of wealthy Jews is increasing, the -number of Jews who are at the poverty level, or below, is also increasing; the majority of them are elderly and single women heads of households. The changing conditions and trends that affect circumstances in the community could have a significant impact on the annual Federation/UJA campaigns. The CJF is therefore preparing plans for Federations to address the fundraising problems systematically and to deal with negative factors from a position of strength, maximizing positive opportunities. Long-range campaigning is being mapped by the CJF with a strategy that will increase the likelihood of future campaigns to reach their potential. For the next few years the goal is to raise $1 billion annually instead of the approximately $650 million which are being raised currently. " About one-half of the sum raised by Federations go for local and domestic needs, the other half goes to Israel through the United Jewish Appeal and the United Israel

Appeal, and partly for assistance by the.American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee to needy Jewish communities overseas. A serious problem faced at present by the'Federations is also the problem of multiple appeals. Numerous Jewish agencies and organizations — beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries of the Federations — are conducting supplementary appeals running into many millions of dollars. This could affect the giving to Federations. The CJF is now attempting to place such supplementary appeals under control. It believes that it is in the interest of the Jewish community to avoid the multiplicity and competitiveness of fundraising campaigns to whatever extent possible. In guidelines prepared for local Federations, the CJF — central organ of all the Federations in the United States and Canada — insist that the centrality of the Federations in fundraising must be recognized to avoid competitiveness, and that the Federation campaign in each city must be recognized as the primary campaign supporting local, national and overseas communal needs, including Israel, in relation to the priorities and capacity to support such efforts. Each Federation is urged to establish a permanent Multiple Appeals Committee to deal with supplementary appeals under the following rule: * .No beneficiary shall raise funds, or engage in fundraising of any kind, without the express written approval of the Federation. . • .> •

Of course they both translate to mean if we were made of metals rather than flesh and blood we could withstand some of life's irritations better. But think about i t . . . you never hear anybody say "boy if my guts were made of iron this would be easier to take". Eizena pupik you hear! Another expression come to mind — one that I grew up hearing. I'm not sure how many others ever heard or used it but arouhd my family when something both awful and unexpected happened, if was often referred to as an "oonshickenish". For you who need a translation, let me see if I can begin to make it clear. An oonshickenish might be an onset of the flu the night before you have to leave town; it might be a sudden blemish appearing on the end of the nose of the teen with the big date. It could be anything form the sublime to the ridiculous, but when something was an oonshickenish there was no mistake about it. It was out of the blue and terrible! Some of the expressions are less dramatic than those I've just mentioned. One of my all time favorites is "Bobe myseh".. A direct translation is "grandmother story". When used as a Yiddishism, it takes on another meaning completely. Generally, it refers to something untrue, or mistaken as truth. In fact, a response in English to something which was thought of as a Bobbe myseh might be "baloney!" Or, as somebody with a marvelous vocabulary might say, "that story may be apocryphal". Personally, I like Bobbe myseh. As I said, it isn't necessary to be familiar with Yiddish expressions, but they really come in handy when a person wants to get an idea across! 3-— CLIP AND SAVE •

By Nancy Pearlman Many of the folks at the Blumkin Home have been trying their luck on football weekends by guessing the winners. Monday is the day of reckoning to see who was the smartest. Some of the winners this season so far are Elizabeth Hart, Cussie Marcus, Mollie Parsowsky, Bess Bernstein, Sylvan Block, Dave Bernstein, Ida Shrier and two two-time winners, Celia Saltzman and Sam Bornstein. Once a week the rabbis and cantors talk with the residents at 11:30 on Tuesdays. This schedule will go on until May, with Rabbi Brooks the first visitor this fall. Many went to hear the cantors perform at the Sephardic concert at the JCC, . and the Burke High School Chorus sang at the Home recently to everyone's delight. The Bunch to Lunch enjoyed meals this month so

The Sing-a-Long welcomed Janet Wintroub as a new volunteer Tuesday afternoon. She and Rhoda Milder mixed it up a little with some soft shoe. Miriam Simon has been coming out Mondays to visit with the folks, and taking her place at the Bingo table is Lois Epstein, along with Lucille Zelinsky. Ida Zoorwill had replaced Lois inthe Gift Shop. Sounds a little like musical chairs, but Sharon is always willing- to find a spot for a volunteer's preference. If helping the elderly is your thing, please call either Sharon or Bert at 330-4272 and put a little LOVE in your life. Welcome back to Helen Fishel who is so helpful in the ceramics class.

CHANUKAH is the •

•

•• This year, as every year, Chanukah begins on the 25th day of the Hebrew month of Kislev. In 1985, the 25th of Kislev corresponds to the 8th day of December. Chanukah is falling on the same day of the year it always does! Chanukah celebrates the victory of the Maccabees (Mattathias, his five sons and their followers) over the Syrian-Greeks in the year 164 B.C.E. The Syrian-Greeks had desecrated the Temple in Jerusalem, and when the triumphant Jews regained it from them, the Jews cleansed it and rededicated it. During the eight days of Chanukah, portions of the Torah are read in the synagogue each day as well as Psalms 113-118 which are hymns of praise. The special prayer Al Ha-Nissim ("for the great miracles") is also recited. Is Chanukah the "Jewish Christmas"? Certainly not! There is an understandable need and desire to want to inflate the meaning of Chanukah to compete with the overwhelming presence of Christmas in our society during the last two months of each year. Fortunately, we live in a society in which we are free to practice our own beliefs, and not have to adopt anyone else's beliefs at the same time. We, at your Jewish Community Center, hope that you will kindle the Chanukah lights for the eight nights beginning December 7th, and reflect in the flickering lights the precious gift of freedom we enjoy so much that we often take for granted. We invite you to visit your Center during these eight days, and enjoy the surroundings you see. We are particularly excited about our Chanukah Torch Run for all walkers and runners on the first day of Chanukah. (Call volunteer chairperson Judy Siff, 493-4112, for details). Chag Chanukah Someach, A very happy Chanukahholiday! We join in wishing you a happy Chanukah holiday from your Omaha Jewish Community Center. Your Omaha JCC's Staff and Board of Directors: Steven J.

To the Editor: Your recent articles and pictures concerning the Kapulier shul brought back many happy memories. It was there that our son, Larry, had "center stage" for his Bar Mitzvah. The Bimah was located in the center of the synagogue. It waa also nice to see Jacob Adler leading the procession of Torahs as his father was its President for many years and he was so active in preserving the shul. While we're'at it we should also have fond memories of the shuls at 25th and Seward,

Aliyah Department. Meanwhile the fog has not been lifted from the situation which surrounds the work done by the Aliyah Department in relation to similar work carried out by the Israel Government Ministry of Absorption. Duplication, competition and confusion ere rampant, with The Jewish Agency completely unwilling U> give up eny of its operations which provide a political power ba^s, even though vast funds are being spent. The cause of aliyah suffers, and in Israel many immigrants get a run-around from one agency to another. Last year's budget of tho Aliyah Department was no less than $70,000,000. If that were divided by the number of immigrants, many of whom come independently of the department, we would get a fantastic figure- of whet each oleh costs. This year's budget is kept a deep, dark secret. Many question the need for the close to a hundred chlichim now stationed overceaa, but at least they deserve better cooperation from their head office. The DirectorGeneral of the department, an efficient and faithful civil servant, was this year forced out of office because he proved more loyal to the cause of aliyah than to the politician who serves as Chairman. A new Director-General has just been named, a remarkably good choice, but it remains to be seen how long he will be able to endure the domination of the Chairman. As immigration declines from year to year, the budget of the Aliyah Department goes up. After all, there are lots of jobs to be protected, not to speak of the political ambitions of the Chairman. What little is done by the department is remarkably unimaginative, drab and unappealing. These may sound like harsh words, but there are times when frank speaking is required. Some of the facts and figures in this article may sound unbelievable. We wanted to make sure everything was accurate, and so we sent most of this material to Mr. Haim Aharon, by registered mail, explaining that we were writing an article on aliyah, and asking for verification of the facts and figures. We also asked a number of questions, explaining that we wanted to be sure to have "authoritative information". Like all previous letters, this one too remained unanswered. The letters were addressed to the same Mr. Haim Aharon, Chairman of the Aliyah Department of The Jewish Agency, who in The Jerusalem Post of Dec.' 28,1984, was quoted as saying: "In the future, as in the past, anyone who turns to the Jewish Agency's offices will receive the most dedicated and responsible care."

19th and Burt, 24th and Nicholas, and 18th and Chicago Street. The old timers will never forget them. Sam Epstein Sunnyvale, CA Editor's note: A copy of the following letter was provided by the office of Cong. Hal Daub: The President The White-House Washington, D.C. Dear Mr. President: In your upcoming discussions with General Party Secretary Mr. Mikhail Gorbachev this month, I urge that you raise the question of Jewish emigration from the Soviet Union. The Soviet record on the treatment of Soviet Jews is outrageous. In 1984, only 896 Jews were permitted to leave although more than 350,000 had the courage to apply. For those who are forced to remain, in direct violation of the Helsinki Accords, severe persecution is a way of life. On top of such oppression, Mr. Gorbachev had the audacity to recently claim that the Soviet Union treats the Soviet Jewish population better than the treatment Jews receive in any other nation in the world. Your National Security Advisor correctly stated that as important as arms control, is between the United States and the Soviet Union, Soviet behavior in other aspects of our relationship are nevertheless vital. A serious question exists whether successful arms control agreements can he effected without improvements in Soviet treatment of its own citizens and in Soviet behavior in regional conflicts around the world. It has been said that perhaps the greatest peace document of our time is the Helsinki Accords which the Soviet Union has signed but refuses to implement. The more responsible Soviet behavior becomes at home, the more responsible it will be abroad. Put another way, can we expect responsible Soviet actions in the arms control arena if they continually suppress the rights of their own citizenry even when bound by international agreement to respect human rights? Enclosed is a recent statement I prepared on this point. I therefore Urge you to raise the issue of Jewish emigration with the Soviet leader and press for a more humane Soviet policy. It would be both appropriate and extremely useful to stress that such a change in direction is one important way that the Soviet Union can demonstrate its sincerity in improving its relationship with the West to the point where meaningful arms reduction agreements are more likely. . . With best wishes, I am Sincerely yours . ' ' . ' • ' .

A report from the General Assembly Editor's note: Robert Yaffe attended the General Assembly as an Omaha delegate and prepared a report at tbe request of the Jewish Press. His re-port is as follows: By Robert J. Yaffe TViii column contains upininn of the writer.

The largest Genera! Assembly in history with over 3,300 delegates and registrants opened before a capacity audience at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. to hear the Council of the Jewish Federation's President, Shoshana S. Cardin deliver the keynote address and set the theme for this year's assembly "The Coming of*Age of North American Jewry: Our Communal Affirmation." In her address, Mrs. Cardin stated that "Affiliation with Jewish organizational life is a Jewish value in and of itself. Federations must reach out to those that are unaffiliated and encourage them not only to support the Jewish community financially, but to join an organizational life and to be

active." They should, "aggresively pursue and invite Jews in with openneEs and with love." The major highlight of the conference was an address by Israeli Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin, who received a strong response when he told the attendees that if Jordan withdraws its demand that the PLO be included in peace negotiations, Israel would not object to a plan involving direct peace negotiations with Jordan, but he strongly reiterated Israel's long held position, "We will never negotiate with the PLO." He also stated that when the negotiations with Jordan do occur they will not follow the pattern of the peace negotiations with Egypt, when every inch of territory acquired in the Six Day War was returned. Rabin stated, "There will never be another Yamit!" making reference to the Israeli city in Sinai which was leveled and returned to the Egyptians. Rabin also recognized, that to get peace without giving anything would also be an illusion.

A major focus of the assembly concerned the continued plight of Soviet Jews. The assembly passed a resolution encouraging discussion of Soviet Jewry in the upcoming summit meeting between President Reagan and Soviet leader Gorbachev. An emotional moment which brought the assembly to its feet was an appearance by Avital Shransky, wife of noted Soviet dissident, Anatoly Shransky. She made a strong and urgent plea for Jews in North America to continue to exert pressure on the Soviet government to allow for the release and freedom of her husband and all others who wish to emigrate. Other notable speakers included Sen. Robert Dole of Kansas, the majority leader of the United States Senate. He emphasized that the Reagan administration would place a high priority on the ratification of the Genocide Convention, which has been urged by every president since Truman. He also indicated that the Administration would support any measure for the

repeal of the 10-year-old United Nations resolution equating Zionism end racism. The former American Ambassador to lerael, SBKSuel Lewis, m&de several optimistic comments. He felt that relations between American and Israel have never been stronger and the two countries have currently reached a high point in their relations. He stated that although Israel has suffered severe economic hardship in the last year, it seems that the Israeli economy may have turned a corner and the economic situation is improving. A major theme to come out of the assembly was the move for Jewish Federations and organizations to reach out to the unaffiliated or alienated groups of Jews in our society. Many of these groups were identified, and strategies were proposed that Federations could use to help get them involved in Jewish community life. There were many seminars and workshops concerning the homeless, the elderly, the intermarried, singles and one-parent

families. Professor Gerald Bubis, a professor with Hebrew Union College, noted that since it is a given that Jewish life is email in number, we must nurture all those who identify themselves aa Jews and make it'possible for them to be Jewish. Many of the seminars centered around the process of-how to obtain an adequate Jewish commitment from a larger and somewhat untouched segment of Jewish society. The assembly also discussed and adopted a wide range of resolutions, concerning Ethiopian and Soviet Jewry, tax revision, child care, church and state relations, Apartheid in South Africa and services to Jews with disabilities. Plenaries, workshops and seminars covered almost every conceivable facet of Jewish life, both at home and abroad. It is an impossible task to sum up in a short space the discussions, resolutions and decisions of over 1,000 seminars, plenaries and meetings that were held during this assembly. When all is said and done one could not

help but be left with the message that as American Jews we do and should feel secure in our history. We have truly begun to come of ege politically. Our economic and political influence hus never been better. Yet, we must never forget our commitment to the survival of the State of' Israel. At the same time, we must continually strive to improve our own Jewish community in the United States. We must reach out to the unafilliated or the unaffected groups of Jews within our country. We must continue to strive to provide services to Jewish groups or individual Jews who arc. in need. It was clear from this General Assembly that the major emphasis was not only on the fund raising aspects of Campaigns but of reaching out to the entire Jewish Community including strengthening the relations between Federations and Synagogues. I was able, to walk away from this Assembly secure in the feeling that our Federations do

By Colleen O'Neill Reprinted with permission from The Moderator, a publication of Mount Marty College, Yankton, South Dakota Comprehending what a survivor of the Auschwitz concentration camp suffered through is difficult. One could not even dream about it in their worst nightmares. For Cantor (Rabbi) Leo Fettman it took 20 years to come forward and publicize his horrifying experiences under the Nazi regime. He felt it was a must. "I felt broke down. I finally said to myself, I have to go out and talk about it," Fettman said. "It's like when you have a problem and you tell your friend. It helps get rid of the pain," he said. Fettman, who is currently a Cantor for Beth Israel Synagogue in Omaha and

By Jill Kushner Belmont ADL/CRC assistant director "I am especially pleased with the decision of our committee to select as this year's recipient of the Torch of Liberty Award a man with an exceptional record of public service, Judge Samuel Van Pelt," said Sheldon Filger, Plains States regional director of the Anti-Defamation League. The retired district judge, 49, will receive the national award at an ADL Society of Fellows reception at 4 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 24 at the Swanson Towers, 8405 Indian Hills Drive.

Fettman was born, in Hungary and sent by his parents to a Jewish College at the age of 13. He had a deep love for music and even conducted a choir though he was not yet 14 years old. Fettman and his family were abducted by Nazi soldiers on March 18,1944. He was 19 at the time. Along with his two brothere, a sister, grandmother and his parents, Fettman and thousands of other Jews were gathered into city ghetto camps and later were shipped to Auschwitz, Germany.

Kirk, a farmer who blamed the Jews for the loss of his livelihood, was killed in a confrontation with law enforcement officials at his home. Judge Van Pelt was appointed by Gov. Bob Kerrey to investigate the incident shortly after; among his findings were the discovery of antiSemitic literature in Kirk's home. Mr. Filger described Judge Van Pelt as "a courageous man, a uniquely ' dedicated person who recognizes that an attack on Jews threatens the democratic rights of all people."

From Germany he moved to Canada for 12 years and later came to the United States. "I can never forgive or forget what the Nazis did, the physical and mental holes will never be removed," said the Rabbi. "There are some things we survivors will never reveal."

By Claudia Sherman In tribute to the State's 1,200 practicing pharmacists, Nov. 18th through the 22nd is Nebraska Pharmacy Week. In keeping with the . Nebraska Pharmacists Association, theme, "Ask Your Pharmacist," Manny Goldberg, registered pharmacist and owner of the Keystone .Pharmacy chain in Omaha, said he will probably try to acquaint people in the community with the services pharmacies provide to patients on an individual basis. "It's good to explain to consumers where our pharmacists' expertise lie. They need five to sis years of education,'.' he explained. "Pharmacists are highly trained to dispense medication and information." Goldberg oaid he sees the . pharmacist as a buffer be\tween the patient and the physician. For example, physicians know which prescription drugs to prescribe for their patients. Drugs that will work together But when the'drugs are mixed with certain non-prescription drugB, which are becoming more and more available, or with certain foods, alcohol or other prescription drugs, the patient runs the risk of undesirable side effects. Some medications must be taken at spe. cial times or in special ways; Some must be token even though-the patient doesn't feel sick, or when the patient feels' better. Patients should tell their doctors as well as their pharmacists about all their medicines, even non-prescription drugs. "This pro-

vides a better health environment," says Goldberg. Keystone Pharmacies are installing computers that will beep track of all the medication each patient is talcing. This has become "a very serious problem" according to Goldberg. But the computers will provide the means by which pharmacists will be able to closely monitor patients who buy all their medicine in one store, to make sure they ore taking drugs properly. Goldberg owns three pharmacies in Omaha and 11 outside of Omaha, stretching from Broken Bow, Ne., to Atlantic, la. He employs 200 to 250 people, which includes part-timers. "I don't know exactly how many people we employ, but I do try to know all their namea," ho oaid. "Our pharmacies act QQ a place in which the patient mates initial contact. From us, they might to go doctors or hospitals. The pharmacy becomes a usual first contact place for the patient who Li ill," he added. "It's important for the pharmacist to stay attuned to how to help patients," he remarked. There is information, and data provided through professional journals and also from drug manufacturers. "This becomes the pharmacist's responsibility," ho said, to keep abreast of advances in ths profession. State law in Nebraska and Iowa requires pharmacists . to continue their formal education by taking a'certain number of hours of continuing education each year.

Pharmacists must be re-licensed every two years. Noting changes in the business since he started, Goldberg commented that "the pharmaceutical profession has become more hitech today." Keystone has two full-time registered nurses on staff to demonstrate to patients the variety of home health care equipment available such as wheel chairs, special bsds, monitors for babies who are at risk of dying from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome as well as monitors for diabetics. "Patients are getting out of hospitals sooner today, because of insurance regulations," said Goldberg. "We give people medicine so they can stay home," he explained. Now pharmacies also have equipment available to help people bo reasonably comfortable recovering at home. Goldberg added that he is bringing a physical therapist on staff who also will be able to help people who in the past may have stayed in the hospital longer, but are now spending more recovery time at home. . • Besides equipment, pharmacies mix IV's (intravenous solutions). IV'S muot be handled in sterile environments. Pharmacies also are equipped to meet the needs of patients who are being fed with tubes.' Some pharmacists move to other' professions. -Some eventually become physicians or dentists. There are others who hove become attorneys. Some who combine their pharmaceutical and law backgrounds are pre-

said that because most of the, company's business is conducted by phone, its actual location makes little difference. Mr. Hechtman noted that having had five children in their Omaha home served H3 S "deterrent" to moving elsewhere. To keep track of everything, the Hechtmans make extensive use of computers. Although Holiday now uses an IBM computer, Mr. Hechtman said the business began with en Apple II computer he programmed. Now, he said he doss none of the programming. Instead, three of the company's 75

employeea are involved ' solely with computer work. All of the software is written i in-house. . Hechtman eaid when the company began in 1978, its "real-eStaie clearinghouse" concept suffered from what he called "naive marketing." Charges for eome of the cama services the company now provides v.'Oro then very low. Consequently, he said the new concept waa not . taken teriously by real estate companies. , However, when a magazine accidentally inflated the company's charges, the business started to roll in, he said.

pared to enter the drug manufacturing business, or to manage the business of a chain of drug stores. Nebraska Governor Bob Kerrey, a businessman and a politician, is a pharmacist by education. "Pharmacy has lived up to everything I've been told and more," said Goldberg, who received his degree "from Creighton University. He said he finds the people in his profession "very honorable." Goldbsrg's family counselled him to pursue pharmacy, as a profession. They eaid it wan held in high esteem, that it offered a challenging environment and a reasonable living wago, and there were opportunities. "I opted to go into retail," he said. Even today, Goldberg continued, "pharmacy is probably one of the finest professions for young people to serve the community beneficially and otill make a comfortable living. There is an acute shortage of pharmacists in Nebraska and Iowa," he added, noting that. 200 pharmacists could be placed in jobs right away in Nebraska alone. Many of

- the young people graduating from the Schools of Pharmacy in Nebraska are' wooed away by recruiters from other states. Goldberg was asked to serve on the Dean's Board of the Pharmacy School at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln along with 10 other pharmacists. The group was formed shortly after the Chancellor of the NU Medical School was forced; to consider financial cutbacks by the State of Nebraska and threatened to close the School of Pharmacy. The 10 pharmacists on the Dean's Board "are working to help the School - of Pharmacy conform to the needs of citizeno of Nebraska, especially thoss in central and western areas. It's been very interesting working on this," Goldberg said. He is also active in the Nebraska Pharmacy Association, a statewide pharmacy network that serves individuals who belong to Health Maintenance Organizations and other new medical delivery systems. He said it is important to preserve the individual's

right to shop at the pharmacies of his or her own choice. He ia also active in the National Assn. of Chain Drug Stores and is the 198586 national chnirnmn of the small chain group which includes chains of four to 50 stores. Having spent considerable time' working as a volunteer for Israel Bonds, Goldberg is also involved in activities at Beth Israel Synagogue. He hag'served the Jewish Federation of Omaha and takes a special interest in the Anti-Defamation League. Goldberg's family consists of his wife, Carol; daughter Maria who is active in the homo health care end of the business; Bruce, who is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin School of Pharmacy and has joined his father in tho business; and David, who graduated from the University of Michigan and is an accountant in the business. The Goldberg's 10-year-old son, Matthew, aaya he wants to be a pharmacist, too. "And our youngest child," he said smiling, "is Beth who »B six." •

By Patricia Sliradcr Tueeday Muoical Tuesday Musical Concert Series will present pianist Oxana Yablonskaya for its second event of the 1985-86 season, Dec. 3 at 8 p.m. at the Joslyn Witherspoon Auditorium. Yablonskaya will perform works by Mozart, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Rachmaninoff and Scriabin. Since her emigration from the Soviet Union in 1977, Yablonskaya "has taken her place among the major pianists of the world." To date she has performed in 27 countries, world-wide, including the United States, Canada, most of Western Europe, Mexico, Central America, the Orient, India and most recently, Australia and New Zealand. In the United States, Yablonskaya has been acclaimed from one end of the country to the other including New York, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Denver, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Miami, Dallas, Chicago and Houston. The C h i c a g o S u n Times observed: "Of the artists who have left the Soviet Union in the recent past, Yablonskaya may well make the most substantial

contribution to American musical life. She runs the gamut from exquisite lyricism to sizzling virtuosity." The Houo&on Foot offers: "Oxana Yablonskaya'a recital was BO magnificent that one hardly knows where to start piling up superlatives. She was simply awesome . . . a truly compelling musical personality.".. Oxana Yablonskaya was born in Moscow and began to study the piano at the age of five. At six, she was admitted to the Moscow Central School for gifted children where she studied with Anaida Sumbatyan, who was also Ashkenazy's teacher. From the age of 16 until she graduated at 21 with highest honors, she studied at the Moscow Conservatory.

stant restraints on her personal and artistic freedom, she applied for a visa to emigrate and forthwith lost her position as a professor at the Moscow Conservatory and was deprived of all concert engagements. She waited more than two years for her visa and finally, thanks to a petition .signed by many notables, including Leonard Bernstein, she was allowed to leave together with her father and "young son, who is now a prize-winning cellist. Yablonskaya is now an American citizen and makes her home in Westchester, NY. Between concert tours she teaches at the Julliard School of Music in New York, something she considers both a mission and a duty.

In hits Presidential addreos to the convention, Rabbi Schindler oaid that individual autonomy should not be permitted to become "the central, exclusive concept of liberal Judaism."

To help make possible this informed choice, Rabbi Schindler said, he was supporting a convention resolution endorsing Reform Jewish day cchools "as a valid educational option."

Professor Branover began practical work on his nqvel system in 1977, at which time he took out his first patent.

After spending a short time at Tel Aviv University, he moved to Beersheba where he received a professorial appointment as well as his job as the Israeli representative on the UNESCO liaison group for magneto-hydrodynamics, which is an international forum for the development of this scientific technology.
