SHOAH, 9^/^ hour film on Holocaust, in Lincoln By Publicity Department Sheldon Film Theater SHOAH, an extraordinary nine and onehalf iiour film on the history of the Holocaust by Claude Lanzmann, is showing at the Sheldon Film Theater in Lincoln on Feb. 22, 23, 27, 28, March 1 and 2. SHOAH has been acclaimed by critics as one of the greatest documentaries in the history of the cinema. Due to the length of the film, SHOAH is shown in two parts. Schedules and synopses are available at the Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery. Advance tickets, go on sale Feb. 6 at the Sheldon Film Theater box office. Admission is $7.60 for each part ($5 for senior citizens, children, and members of the Friends of the Sheldon Film Theater). With all that has been written about the Holocaust, SHOAH is an extraordinary achievement. The result of years of research, this nine and one-half hour film is an oral history of the Holocaust that brings together a full range of witnesses: the SS officers who served in the death camps; the Polish villagers who tilled their fields within yards of the crematoriums; the Germans who resettled occupied Poland, moving into the houses whose Jewish owners had been sent to their death; the state employee who sold Jews half-fare excursion tickets to the camps — one way; Western scholars of the Holocaust. And then there are the survivors themselves: a Polish barber who cut the hair of women he knew were to die in the next few

guish at the fate of her people and her own escape from it. SHOAH is unlike any film ever made about the Holocaust. Ten years in the making, using not a single frame of archival footage, SHOAH allows the victims, the perpetrators, and the bystanders to tell their stories. It is through their words that the imagination recreates the world described in these interviews — a way of getting at the truth that is far more shocking than the depiction of actual images. SHOAH is unforgettable, and it is destined to become a landmark of film and history. "SHOAH is not an easy fdm to talk about. There is a magic in this film^that defies explanation. After the war, we read masses of accounts of the ghettos and the extermination camps, and we were devastated. But when we see today Claude Lanzmann's extraordinary film, we realize we have understood nothing. In spite of everything we knew, the ghastly experience remained remote from us. Now, for the first time, we live it in our minds, and hearts and flesh. It becomes our experience." — Simone de Beauvoir "SHOAH is not just one more film about the Holocaust. Its goal is unique, selective and single-minded: to describe in ruthless detail the inhuman bureaucratic machinery of the Final Solution during the years 19421944 ... There is an unforgettable sinister beauty to the footage Lanzmann took in Poland, and there is art in*^the way he has edited it... like refrains in a terrifying epic poem. Variety
SHOAH in Omaha The Cultural Arts Department of the Jewish Community Center, in co-operation with several Federation agencies, is investigating the [>ossibility of bringing the film, SHOAH, to Omaha in early May. Another possibility being discussed is a group trip to Lincoln to see SHOAH on March 2. .

Omaha's JCX) wins four JWB communications awards NEW YORK — The JewUh Community Center of Omaha, NE, has won four awards in the 1986 JWB Biennial Communications Awards Competition, it has been announced by Alvin L. Gray, of Cleveland, chairman of JWB's Communications Committee. 'There were 334 entries from 90 Jewish Community Centers and U military installations," Gray announced. "This was the largest and most enthusiastic competition in JWB's history. 'This is a genuine tribute to all entranta for the justifuble pride they have in their Jewish commimities, both in the Jewish Community Center sector and in the military." A delegation from Omaha will attandkbe JWB Biennial, to take place April 9-13 at the Sbenton Convention Centre in Tbronto. Award winners will be publicly an-
nounced at a Media Showcase Thursday night, April 10, where Wolf Blitzer, Jeruaalem Post correspondent, syndicated columnist, author and PBS commentator, will be the featured speaker. In the Best Multi-Media Presentations division, the Omaha Jewish Community Center won for its video tape "Yom Ha-Atzmaut" which captures the spirit of the Israel Independence Dqy celebration at the Center. The Omaha JCC won three other awards: in the Best Public Service Annotmcement division for its promotion of the "Arts Program at JCC"; in the Best Special Events division for its "CbUd't Paaaow Haggadah" for pre-schoolers, and in the Best Center Brochures division for its "Faeas of the FMUN" program guide.
"The Jewish Community Center," Gray said, "is an ideal voluntary setting for Jewish education programs, among other things. It is also particularly attractive as a 're-entry' point into the Jewish community for persons who are otherwise not identified with anything Jewish. 'The enhancement of the image of the JCC in the Jewish community and its importance to Jewish life is vital. This the JWB Communications Awards Competition has accomplished." llw president of the JCC is Dr. Norman Sheldon. Stephen J. Rod is executive director. On Feb. 24, hie will become executive vicerpiasident of the Jewish Federation of Omaiu. JWB enriches Jewish educational «gMrienees as the laadsiship network and cen-
tral service agency for 275 JCCs, YMYWHAs and camps in the U.S. and Canada, serving more than one million Jews.

Federation offers scholarships, bans 1 By Jonathan Roaenbaum (Contiaoed from last week) THE EIGHT FUNDS The endowment funds now providing support fof Omaha Jewish youth are: David E. Beber Scholarahip Fund - In 1976, the Milton S. and Corinne N. Livingston Foundation endowed a fund within the Jewish Federation of Omaha to facilitate scholarships and loans for Jewish students from the Omaha area. This fund is dedicated to the memory of David E. Beber, an active leader of the Omaha Jewish conununity,. who devoted year* to philanthropic service as a TVustee of the Livingston Foundation. The achievements of the Livingston Foundation include support of Judaic Studies at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, major contributions to the Jewish Community Center, and to the Jewish cultural and religious life in Omaha. Sandra L. Feldman Memorial Scholarship Fund was established to provide grants for graduate education to worthy students from the Jewish community of Omaha. Ms. Feldman was a Phi Beta Kappa from Northwestern University and studied at the universities of Vienna, Harvard, and the Business School at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. To perpetuate her memory and her exceptional achievements, the family has established this fund to allow others to partake of the benefits of graduate education. Nancy and Don Greenberg Scholarship Fund — The family and friends of Nancy and Don Greenberg established a scholarship in their name to recognize their active leadership in the Jewish community of Omaha. Established in 1983, the fund benefits a Jewish resident of Omaha who will hi a college freshman.

Specializing in
pilgrimages, and attendance at the Jewish Day School of Omaha are examples of direct aid to children provided by the fund. Lois Jeanne Schrager Memorial Fund — Phillip G. Schrager established this fund in 1980 as a lasting tribute to his late wife.Each year, the endowment fund provides college scholarships to Jewish students from the Omaha area, so they may pursue their goals in higher education and carry out the dreams of Lois Jeanne Schrager. Beatrice and Nate H. Sherman Scholarship Fund — The Nate H. Sherman Foundation has established this fund to provide annual scholarships for qualified college students. A substantial endowment allows the Financial Aid Committee to provide academically qualified students with Jewish commitment and financial need with grants which will further their education. The fund is named, in memory of a long-time Omahan whose generosity to this and other communities is well known. The Ruth Sokolof Special Education Scholarship Fund was created and funded by Phil Sokolof to honor and perpetuate the memory of his wife, Ruth, a community leader in the field of special education..Fellowships totaling $10,000 to $15,000 a year will be awarded to needy Jewish college graduates who wish to attend graduate school in special education. Mrs. Sokolof, a volunteer and teacher at the J.P. Lord School, devoted herself to the handicapped for many years. In particular, her achievements with two to five year old blind children were lauded by educators and physiciaiis. The fund is a living memorial to her extraordinary efforts. NEED FOR ADDITIONAL ENDOWMENTS The various funds described signify vital and growing opportunity for the Jewish youth of Omaha and represent an ongoing acknowledgement of the importance of education at all levels. The soaring costs of both general and Jewish education have made scholarships and loans a vital necessity to a far larger number of students than in the past. Therefore, anyone interested in adding to the principle of existing funds in order to make aid available in the fviture may make tax deductible contributions to the Jewish Federation of Omaha Endowment, with an accompanying note indicating to which fund the contribution is intended. Also, despite generous contributions by major foundations and devoted individuals, additional contributions to establish entirely new funds are most welcome. Those interested in establishing new funds miiy contact the Executive Director, Jewish Federation of Omaha, 333 South 132nd Street, Omaha, Nebraska, 68154. The deadlines for submission of financial aid applications are March 1,1986 — College; April 15,1986 — Residential Camp; June 1, 1986 — JCC Camp; July 15, 1986 — JCC Preschool.

A true and bizarre spy story By Miaoa B. Carfa J«vlah Tito«r«pkk Aamy, la*-
Arrow* of tlie Aimighty: The Moat ExtraonUnary True Spy Story of World War II By Michael Bar Zohar. Macmillan. 224 pp. $15.9S A German Jew itt freed from Dachau by the Nazi*, given a new name, whisked to Belgium, and trained in espionage by the Abwehr Gaaman intelligence. Then, he is parachuted into Palestine to collect information about British war efforts just before Rommel's offensive in North Africa. Sounds like an implausible plot from a spy thriller, right? Wrong. Arrows of the Almighty is the true and bizarre story of the adventures ot Paul Fackenheim, forced to spy for the Nazis but unwilling to betray fellow Jews. This unique non-fictional work carries the dramatic power of a novel. Its author, Michael Bar-Zohar, a novelist and former Knesset member who has served in Israeli intelligence, vividly re-creates Fackenheim's story using de-classified documents and interviews with Fackenheim himself. Fackenheim was the perfect candidate for an Abwehr mission: a well-traveled, multilingual patriot who had received the Iron Cross for daring explots while serving in Germany's army during World War 1. In 1941, two mysterious German officers find
him in Dachau and offer him reteaw in eichange for serving his country. Fackenheinf agrees and leaves for Bruaatla where he is taught Morae code and short-wave radio transmission. The nature and locale of ' Fackenhcim's training is convincing and vividly detailed. The author states that Fackenheim was the only Jew to be released from a Nazi concentration camp by the Nazis themselves. He also shows l^ow Fackenheim's release infuriated the Gestapo which sent agents to harass him. Fackenheim's undertakes his mission for the Nazis only because he fears they will kill his mother in Germany if he does not. But in Palestine, his conscience does not permit him to continue the job and he surrenders to the British who imprison him, mistaking him for an important Nazi spy. Unfortunately, Bar-Zohar's tendancy to editorialize disrupts the story's pace at times and discloses portions of the plot in advance. When Fackenheim drops into Palestine, the author interrupts, "He could not know that his mission was doomed, that he was the victim of a diabolical plot, devised by the Nazi police ..." (107) Despite some faults, the taut prose, captivating scenes, fluid narrative, and historical anecdotes make this book intriguing reading about an odd and paradoxical incident.

NEW YORK (JTA) The Jewish Theological Seminary of America has launched a project to collect the records — written, photo^aphic and oral — of the Conservative movement in the U.S., beginning with those of synagogues, continuing with the papers of rabbis and lay leaders, and eventually encompassing, as well, the documents of various national bodies.

by Morrii Maiine
Q ins at ? Time marcheB on. Part of winter has come and gone and the weather has not been as bad as we had feared. It's time for us to^ink fondly of spring and with that time of the year, the enjergence of our special Passover issue. Yes, it's planting time for our special effort and we are looking to the Jewish community to help provide the 'seeds' for our harvest. Many of you may be familiar with the expression "Life Begins at 40." This term was used not too long ago to show that people hitting the age of 40 were not old, but that their lives were still ahead. Well, the years have gone by, health conditions in the United States have improved. People are eating more wisely and are exercising more faithfully. The result is that we as a people are living longer and are remaining active way beyond 40. Today, 40 is just about considered middle age rather than old. Those who are 50 don't feel their 'age' nor act their years. In many cases those \yho are 60 consider themselves "spring chickens." So we get into the 70s, 80s, and 90s, and what do we find? We find that in many cases, people in those age groups are leading active, fulfilled lives. • Some are still at work, others spend interesting time with their grandchildren, and still others utilize their time as volunteers or as active retirees. For our Passover issue, we would like to capture the lives of some of our elder generation and put their experiences into print. Our theme will be "Life Begins at 65." Thus, the so-called retirement age will be the starting point for those featured in our upcoming special issue. Although 65 is the minimum age for adults, there is no age limit on children. To balance our issue, we also will be seeking stories about relationships between children and their grandparents and greatgrandparents. We are looking to our readership to makejecpmmendations for relatives and friends who are dqing interesting thiings, who spend their time in positive ways, and whose stories would be an inspiration to others. Please send a short note with your recommendations to Judith Marburg, Managing Editor, c/o Jewish Press, 333 South 132nd Street, Omaha, NE 68154.

HAIFA — The conBtruction of the Mount Scopus branch of Brigham Young University in Jerusalem continues to agitate many circles, and the objectors are to be found not only among the extreme religious groups. The knowledge that the Mormons are avowedly a missionizing body has aroused the antagonism of many who are not convinced by the firm pledges given by university and church officials that no missionary activity whatever will be carried on. The proximity of the Mormon institution to the Hebrew University has led to fears that Jewish students will be attracted to cultural, sport and social activities to be conducted by the Mormons, and will therefore be all the more susceptible to subtle proselytizing. In view of the unease caused in some circles by the spreading movement among Israel youth of a return to traditional Judaism, what would the reaction have been if this choice location had been allocated to a religiously militant Jewish group like, say, the Lubavitch movement, whose representatives are commonly found to be spreading their message in public places, not only in Israel, but elsewhere in the world as well? Would it not have been maintained that the Hebrew University students would be subjected to the moral and psychological pressures exerted by the Lubavitch emissaries? It appears that the Mormon claim on their property is solid, and they will proceed with their plans for Brigham Young University, especially in view of the damage which would be caused to Israel's reputation by exclusion of a religious group from Jerusalem. Under such circumstances, why not make the best of an unfortunate situation, and offset Mormon influence by encouraging the Lubavitcher to go into business nearby tis well? On our last visit to the site we observed that there is still plenty of land in the neighborhfxxl. A sizeable area could be allocated to this enterprising Chassidic movement, which could be relied upon to raise the funds required to put up a suitable structure. If the Mormons are afforded
freedom in Jerusalem, why not equal opportunity to Lu bavitch? Of all the various Chassidic groups, they are the most positive in their attitude to Zionism and the State of Israel. They are the most original and most imaginative in their educational programs. Thousands of Israeli soldiers welcomed their "Mitzvah links" which patrolled the highways of Lebanon during the height of the war there, and brought spiritual comfort and encouragement to our boys. Surely they would more than offset any feeble -attempts of the disciples of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints to convince our students that an angel in heaven handed the original plates of the Book of M«rmon to Joseph Smith in 1827, and that after he had copied the text, he handed the plates back to the angel. Proselytizing is not one of the goals of the Chabad movement, but in the expected confrontation between our determined Chassidim and the young men and women of the Mormons, there is no doubt in our mind which will be the more convincing and the more successful. Indeed, the defections from the Mormon ranks might well induce the church fathers in Salt Lake City td reconsider their foolhardy enterprise which was launched at a time when competition from the Lubavitcher had not been anticipated. Furthermore, the Lubavitcher Center on Mount Scopus could well include proper housing facilities for Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, head of the movement. His removal from Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, to the new Center on Mount Scopus would undoubtedly serve as a signal for tens of thousands of Lubavitch members to follow in his footsteps, thus stimulating the greatest wave of immigration in history from the U.S. to Israel. Mass movements of this nature are contagious, and the example of the Lubavitcher would be followed by many others as well. The much hopedfor aliyah from America would become a reality. The time may yet come when we shall be grateful to the Mormons for having been responsible for a historic change in the fortunes of Israel.

Revised expectations By M. J. Rosenberg Near East Report Tom Friedman, the New York Times Jerusalem correspondent — and probably the best foreign correspondent in Israel — has written a landmark piece about the Middle East peace process. "No Illusions: Israel Reassesses Its Chances for Peace" (New York Times Magazine, Jan. 26) provides a crash course in the new realism of the Middle East conflict. Prior to being posted in Israel, Friedman, like most distant observers of the Israeli scene, believed that any solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict would be territorial. Israel would exchange land — the West Bank and Gaza ^- for peace. ! • Now, however, after a few years in Israel, Friedman sees that the territorial option is dying if not dead. In June, Israel will have been in control of the West Bank for 19 years, half the life of the state and exactly as Jong as Jordan possessed the territory. No fence separates pre- and poat1967 Israel. In fact, many Israelis have little sense of where pre-'67 Israel ends and the West Bank begins. Dotted lines exist only on maps. Friedman believes that it is the experience with Egypt after Camp David that seriously dampened Israeli enthusiasm for dividing the West Bank with Jordan and .the Palestinians. Friedman quotes one Israeli as saying that Jerusalem expected peace with Egypt to be something akin
to the U.S. relationship with its neighbors. "But with Egypt ... Israelis discovered that the opposite of making war was not making war.. And that 'peace' was the relationship the United States has with the Soviet Union, not with Canada." That has been a rude awakening for Israelis. Few would trade the state of "not making war" with Egypt for its alternative. Nevertheless, it is not surprising that — in light '*' (continued on page 5}

Editor's Note: During Biahop tnmmuiiii k uiu > receiu visit to Chicago, Edwin Blacii was the only Journalist permitted to ride along on the private bus occupied by Bishop Tutu, Jesse Jackson and Chicago Mayor Harold Washington. No other journalist waa allowed direct access. His exclusive interview follows: Bishop Desmond TVitu has singled out Jews in South Africa as the leaders of the anti-Apartheid movement, but at the same time escalated his rhetoric against Israel, calling it a "collaborator" with the racist regime. The comments came during exclusive interviews with IVitu and Jesse Jackson during the South African Nobel laureate's whirlwind 17 hour visit to Chicago. Asked whether Jews in South Africa were doing their part to oppose Apartheid, Tutu answered, "Most of the outstanding whites in South Africa who have been in the forefront of the struggle for justice and peace have been Jews, You have Helen Suzman [Member of Parliament who, with Harry Schwartz, founded the opposition Progressive Federal Party) and many other outstanding lawyers, doctors and professional people who have been committed to the struggle." Bishop IXitu cited as one of many recent examples, "[When) our own Council of Churches ... [was] being harassed by the government and being investigated, our chief counsel were Jews: Sidney Kentridge, one of the outstanding legal brains of the English speaking world, and Jack Unterhalter." However, IXitu applied a double standard referring to the involvement of Israel and Arab states in South Africa. T^itu was asked about the fact that some 70 percent of South Africa's oil emanates from Arab and Moslem oil states. He repied ambiguously, "I would hope that if we are looking for nonviolent, for peaceful strategies and one of these is economic pressure, it goes without saying that anything that gives comfort or support to a racist regime ... ought not to be happening." In a follow-up question, IVitu wag asked what Israel could do to further the anti-Apartheid movement. He answered that both he and the Jews of South Africa "share this one distress: that Israel, as a government, has been known to collaborate with the South African government." Asked specifically what Israel should be doing, IVitu acknowledged, "I am not worried about Israel's economic in: volvement with South Africa. That doesn't concern me so much because I don't think it is significant. It is their collaboration over military and security things ... so that South Africa is able to carry out such activities as hot pursuit." TVitu's reference WM to the training of the South African police. • •. Jestb i^adison has'been 'aeoompaiqring TVitu on various legs of his American four. During the Chicago visit, the only individuals at T\itu's side were Chicago Mayor Harold Washington and Jesse Jackson. In private Jackson continually coached TUtu on "issues to be sensitive about" in his public statements. During the interviews, Jackson exhibited the same double standard regarding Arab and Israeli trade links to South Africa. Responding to South Africa's dependence on Arab oil, Jackson revealed, "I met with Arab ambassadors in Britain, Washington and the UN. Each time I was advised that they have a policy position against their oil going to South Africa. But if there is any evidence of oil being diverted [to South Africa] on the high seas, they will take punitive action against those corporations." Advised that Arab oil and precious commodity transactions exceed even that of South Africa's greatest trading partners, Jackson remarked, "All that we can do is to make the appeal." But referring to Israeli connections, Jackson declared, "To think that our country is so generous in selling arms to Israel and that Israel would then be collaborating militarily with South Africa. Of course, it is very distasteful." Israel's weapons sales to S>outh Africa have been mainly naval patrol boats designed to protect international shipping lanes — and this was prior to the UN's 1979 arms embargo. The volume of this trade is dwarfed by South Africa's main western arms supplier, France, and South Africa's own now almost self-sufficient arms industry. Asked whether Israel's military connection was not minuscule compared to others, Jackson retorted, "It's really irrelevant. I don't think any African hation should sell Israel's enemy even a .22 pistol. [Likewise], I don't think Israel should sell, as a matter of principle and practice, to South Africa even a .22 pistol." Continuing on the subject of trade, Jackson insisted, "So much of the slavery there is motivated by the greed for diamonds and gold. To the extent that gold and diamonds leave South Africa and go to Tel Aviv and on to New York, London, Paris and L.A., that also is painful. Any trade is too much. Israel must break trade with South Africa." IXitu's comments about Jews per se were the most positive he has made to date. Despite continuing Jewish and Israeli commitment to racial equality in South Africa, Tutu has in the past repeatedly made inflammatory remarks, according to Rabbi Marc Tanenbaum, international relations director of the American Jewish Committee. Tanenbaum cited a November 1984 IXitu appearance before 300 students at the Jewish Theological Seminary. According to press accounts, Tutu told the audience, "Whenever the Jews have tried to be like other nations, they have I think lost direction and been untrue to their calling." . In a reference to Palestinians, "Hitu added, "I am myself sad that Israel, with the kind of history and traditions her people have experienced, should make refugees of others. It is totally inconsistent with who ahe is as a people." He
Tutu and Washington also castigated Israel for "conniving" in the massacre of Palestinians at the Sabra and Chatilla refugee camps in Beirut. But during that same Jewish Theological Seminary speech,. 1\itu criticized Arab nations for being "totally unrealistic" in not recognizing Israel, which he insisted must have her territorial integrity maintained. On another occasion, TVitu proffered a simile between the ancient Jev^ish Temple and Apartheid, asserting that "the wall of separation" was "a kind of model which reflects the racial separation in South Africa." Rabbi Tanenbaum asserted, "He is not inaccurate. The ancient temple Tutu refers to had several courtyards — one for priestly men, levite assistants to the priests, the Israelites, women and gentiles. The fact that Jews incorporated a court for gentiles was a revolution iur equality in the ancient world. Earlier religions would have never allowed a foreigner to take part in their sacred rites." Shortly after making the offensive simile, l\itu acknowledged, "I was immediately accused of being anti-Semitic. I am sad ... That comes from an arrogance — the arrogance of power because Jews are p powerful lobby in this land and all kinds of people woo their support. ... I don't have a single anti-Semitic bone in my body." 1\itu's inconsistent "carrot and stick" rhetoric are part of a "slippery game he is playing with the Jewish communitjr," declares Tanenbaum, who has recently completed a fact-finding tour of South Africa. Tanenbaum reports that Jews in South Africa are indeed duplicating the performance of Jews in the civil rights movement in America. "The general consensus among Jews is and always has been outrage over Apartheid," explains Tanenbaum. "I know an Orthodox rabbi who has operated a black daycare center in his synagogue for 25 years. The South African Board of Deputies has consistently condemned Apartheid, and some time ago adopted a stern statement calling on the government to dismantle Apartheid totally." However, Tanenbaum warned |hat South African Jewry, established only during the 20th century, is in a precarious position. "The Marxist groups there advocating bloody revolution will not discriminate between white Afrikaaners and Jews," suggests Tanenbaum. "Yet the right wing Afrikaans Party, which sided with Hitler during the War, still maintains a strong anti-Semitic ideology." Tanenbaum called for more "responsible rhetoric" from Bishop 1\itu, but asserted nonetheless, "America's Jewish community must be wholeheartedly behind the movement to bring all pressures on the Botha government to dismantle Apartheid." He added a warning to Pretoria: "If this regime does not move fast enough in dismantling Apartheid, they bring upon themselves a great tragedy of bloodshed." Referring to Israeli cooperation with South African police, Tanenbaum explained, "Because Israel has developed extraordinary skills in containing terrorism, there are many governments who turn to Israel for training of their police for riot control. This includes Costa Rica, Panama, the Ivory Coast, Togo and South Africa. The South African contracts were originally training for police working to contain crime in white areas such as Johannesburg, Capetown, Durbin. Not black townships." Tanenbaum continued, "If anything Israel has helped civilize these cops. I have seen these kids. They come out of the Dutch communities, believe that blacks are accursed by God, and that killing them is doing the nation a favor. Israel was trying to teach them that responsible riot control police use force as a last resort not a first resort. The tragedy is that their riot control training has not gotten very far." Today, South Africa's riot police have been by-passed in favor of military units. Tanenbaum revealed that while he was in South Africa, "We told [Foreign Minister] Pik Botha that it was unconscionable to send green soldiers with rifles against rioters. The first thing they'll want to do is shoot. Had Israel trained those military units, they would have ended up using water cannons and tear gas iiutead of hot bullets killing people." Israel's involvement with the South African police has been relatively minor, according to Tanenbaum. "But I wish to God they would stop for all the obvious moral and political reasons," asserted Tanenbaum. "Israel does not even need to give a minor pretext to people to be scapegoated. They would be wise to put a moratorium on any cooperation with South Africa." Bishop IXitu in the interview took a similar stance. "The trade is almost symboUc," said IVitu. "But we are sqying isolate South Africa as much as possible, militarily and in
ail («ner way^. Tanenbaum identified Helen Suzman'• Progicasive Fed^ era! Party — the group TVitu praised — as the only psaceful option for change that can avoid the bloodshed proposed by right and left wing elements. "Should such an option become possible." said Tanenbaum, "at that point Israel could again play a constructive role." TUtu acknowledged, "One does understand Israel of course, because she too has suffered a measure of isolation and must try to lind friends where she can. But I think that this is costing her dear in terms of black perceptions. You know what is happening to black 'and Jewish relationships in this country and part of that is due to this South African-Israel connection. I'm just saying that it is a pity because we have so many tremendous Jewish people in the struggle for justice and peace at home." Bishop Tutu, in the interview, also asserted that Israel can also end its collaboration by being "far more supportive, more openly supportive of our own liberation struggle ... firmly, firmly." On this issue too, it appears the Bishop is again singling out Israel apropos the 'Third World mentality. Zionism has always supported equality for black Africa. At the turn of the century, Theodor Herzl, founder of modem political Zionism, wrote "once I have witnessed the redemption of the Jews, my people, I wish also to assist in the redemption of the Africans." It wasn't until 1975 that an increasingly isolated Israel permitted a South African embassy to open, and even then the IsraeU government took the occasion to reiterate its unswerving opposition to Apartheid. IVpical was an incident when the Israeli Ambassador boycotted the opening of the play Golda bigcause blacks were excluded from the theater. The diplomat declared that to attend "would commit an act of infidelity to my heritage." Indeed, many African nations recall that prior to the severing of relations under pressure from the Arab League, Israel was the chief sponsor of agricultural assistance on that continent. That cooperation is only now resuming. Among the first to receive assistance has been the South African Zulus. Recently, Zulu chief Gatsha Buthelezi came to Israel to finalize plans for agricultural help and leadership training. Israeli statements in the UN have repeatedly and loudly condemned Pretoria. Most of them resemble a recent promulgation by Israel's UN ambassador Benyamin Netanyahu: "Israel categorically condemns racism in all its forms, including Apartheid [because] we are a people who have suffered more from murderous racism than any other." Jews have known slavery — in Africa in the time of our ancestors, in Europe in the time of our parents. For this reason they have a mandate to oppose Apartheid in all ways — regardless. If Bishop 1\itu wants Israel to speak louder, perhaps she should. But in that case, Bishop IXitu must open his ears and listen. Right now his hearing and vision are a little selective.

Revised expectations (continued from page 4) of that example — Israelis are very skeptical about what "peace" with Jordan would mean. And there is an important difference between Jordan and Egypt, one that makes an Egyptian-style settlement with Jordan even less appealing. Writes Friedman: "With Egypt, Israel can afford to have a cold peace. There is the vast Sinai Desert separating the two countries and serving as a buffer between armies and peoples. But on the West Bank there can be no cold peace; it has to be a peace based on some kind of real relations, or nothing at all. The distances are too small; there will be no Sinai for both sides to sulk behind." He adds that few Israelis will agree to a withdrawal from the West Bank that does not allow for continued access to the area. "It is precisely for this reason that the negative precedent being set between Israel and Egypt is so dan-. gerous, and why the word 'peace' for most Israelis has to be reendowed with some content and sense of joy before people can even begin to consider a new initiative that deals with Jordan and the West Bank." But what sort of "new initiative" if territorial compromise is ruled out? Friedman's answer is similar to one that Shimon Peres has been hinting at. In a speech in London on Jan. 23, Peres said that if King Hussein does not take advantage of the chance for peace "he might awaken one day to the fact that the territories have been given selfadministration" without him. Peres was referring to the concept of "functional autonomy" — an arrangement under which Israel holds on to the territories for the forseeable fiiture but permits the Palestinians to assume all the aspects of self-rule except the military. Functional autonomy was first proposed under Camp David but, according to Friedman, it had one nuyor flaw. Unde^ Camp David, West Bank autonomy would only have been a five year transitional phase after which the territories' final disposition would have been determiaad. This caused some Arabs and Israelis who "might have accepted some form of autonomy" to block it "because they did hot want to deal with the ultimate disposition that waa to come at its conclusion."

LA opens ORT Technical Institute By Caryn Rifkin "We're starting small and doing it right — with quality." This statement of intent frofn I^AOTI's new director. Dr. Arthur N. Chardack, reflects the common thread of excellence that links ORT's origins in 1880s Russia with the newest school in Los Angeles, the second largest Jewish community in the United Sutes. LAOTI (Los Angeles ORT Technical Institute) opened its doors on Oct. 9, 1985 on the historic grounds of the Wilshire Boulevard Temple. ORT's strength in both ferreting out a community's business and industrial needs and tailoring the educational program to individual student's needs is turning LAOTI into a real winner. LAOTI will target the needs of high school graduates, mature adults looking for new careers or a fresh start in life, as well as recent Jewish immigrants to the United States.

Another major U.S. push towards peace By Woir Bllti«r W/lSHINGTON - There is a new urgency in the Reagan Administration about gettii\g the stalled Arab-lBraeli peace process moving once again. President Ronald Reagan and Secretary of State Cieorge Shultz have agreed that the U.S. must greatly intensify its efforts in the coming weeks and months. And despite the risks of failure, they have privately' spread the word that they intend to do exactly that. Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern and South Asian Affairs Richard Murphy's just-compieled round of ' shuttling in Europe between Prime Minister Shimon Peres and Jordan's King Hussein was just the "opening shot" in this new diplomatic campaign. "There is going to be a lot of activity in the immediate period ahead," an American source said. "This is just the beginning." Murphy may still be the Administration's miyor pointman in the effort right now. But a higher level official — probably Shultz himself — is likely to assume that direct role very soon, especially if the Assistant Secretary can narrow some more of the procedural differences in the coming weeks. Some Administration officials are suggesting that a special Middle Bast envoy be named by Reagan, but Shultz is known to be resisting that proposal. If there is some light at the end of the diplomatic tunnel, he is clearly prepared to get the job done personally. But he first wants some additional assurances of success. According to authoritative U.S. officials, Eleagan and Shultz are very much aware that the clock is ticking toward October's scheduled rotation of jobs between Peres and Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir. The Americans want some sort of negotiating process to be fiiUy underway in advance of that switch. The U.S. assessment is that Peres would have a clearly better chance of staying in the Prime Minister's Office if prospects for some greater semblance of peace, especially with Jordan, are perceived in Israel are realistic. Worried about a governmental crisis and possibly early elections in Israel, Reagan Administration officials want Peres — rather than Shamir — to triumph. There is a very apparent sense of gloom and doom in Washington for the entire peace process if the Likud returns to power. U.S. officials are making no secret of their desire to do whatever they can to help reduce the chances of that occurring. The Administration was very impressed by Peres's handling of the Taba dispute with his Likud coalition partrters. U.S. officials are pressing for some'signs of improved relations between Israel and Egypt in the coming months, again as additional ammunitioii in Peres's political campaign. Washington has been encouraging Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak to meet with Peres soon. This wpuld supP?^!^ ?P Kfel^¥3^ii^*^f!t revi);al|,?ir<g.^ji? n^acs prpcp^,.. mbmentum ana snoring up supix>rt within Israel for the entire concept. A strong Israeli-Egyptian relationship is seen in Washington as an essential cornerstone in advancing broader peace negotiations with Jordan.
But very serious problems in getting such negotiations going remain unresolved, especially in coming up with acceptable Palestinians who would participate in a joint delegation with Jordan. Much of Murphy's discussions with Peres and Hussein, U.S. officials 8aid,involved the search for such Palestinian candidates. Israel is still pressing for West Banke^rs and Gazans, even if they are sympathetic to the PLO, rather than Palestinians living outside the territories. On the one hand, of course, the Palestiniarts must be approved by both Israel and Jordan. That, by itself, would not be very difficult, according to U.S. officials. But, Hussein is still extending a strong veto power to PLO chairman Yassir Arafat, depsite the strains in their relations in recent weeks and the overall decline of Arafat's influence in the Arab world. U.S. officials said this week that the details involving an international conference on the Arab-Israeli conference, whioh would be designed to open up a fresh round of talks, could quickly fall into place if the composition of the Palestinian delegates were determined. Finding the Palestinians — rather than coming up with the groundniles for an international meeting, even one with Soviet participation — is the major sticking points right now. In principle, the U.S. and Israel have already announced a readiness for some sort of international forum, provided that direct negotiations would immediately result from it. In addition, U.S. and Israeli leaders are in full agreement that the international conference would not be able to veto any potential agreements reached in direct talks between Israel and Jordan, or Israel and Syria, if the Damascus regime should decide to join in the process. But things are much more difficult in finding acceptable Palestinians. Hussein, last year, had subtnitted a list of Palestinians candidates to Washington. Only two of the names mentioned — Al Fajr Editor Hanna Senjoira of East Jerusalem and Gaza lawyer Fawad Abu Rahme — were approved by Israel. The others were too closely associated with the PLO. Hussein insisted that at least four Palestinians join his delegation. At the same time, however, he refused to come up with more names. The stalemate developed. U.S. officials said Murphy discussed some other possible Palestinian candidates with Peres and Hussein. But whether they achieved some final understanding on the list, as of this writing, is still unclear. In addition to the deadline of the job rotation in the National Unity Government, the Reagan Administration has a more pressing timetable problem involving its proposed 1.9 billion dollar anti-aircraft missile system and fighter aircraft package for Jordan. A major battle with Congress is looming in February unless King Hussein should utter some new declarations promising to end the st4te:pf,t)e^ligeKacy with j8rael,.A.Marob 1 deadline has been set by the Administration. Certainly, the prospect of Jordan's actually sitting down at a bargaining table with Israel would go a long way towards easing the mounting Congressional opposition.
Thus, much of Murphy's discussions with Hussein in London involved that sale, seen by Jordan as a critical litmus test in determining U.S. friendahip. If that sale is not approved, Jordan is almost certain to look etsewbert in the world for its major weapons systems. Most Reagan Administration officials, especially at the State Department, the Pentagon and the National Security Council, are clearly prepared to ent«r into an all-oat confrontation with Israel's friends in Congress over the aalal Some of Reagan's domestic political advisers are reluctant to hove such a bruising battle right now. But foreign policy considerations are apparently more pr^asing for the Administration as a whole. In some respects, the lines would be drawn very similarly to those of the bitter 1981 Saudi AWACS surveillance package. That sale was narrowly approved by a 52-to-48 roll call margin in the Senate. But Reagan first had to use all of his personal powers of persuasion on Capitol Hill to push it through. In the process, there were obvious strains between Washington and Jerusalem as well as between the Administration and the American Jewish community. Administration officials recognize that there is little likelihood that Peres could step forward With a "wink and a nod," effectively giving his blessing to the sale as the lesser of all evils facing Israel. The Americans have been arguing that the sale is actually in Israel's own best interest since the alternative would be British, French or maybe even Soviet military systems in Jordan. At least with U.S. equipment, the Americans argue, there is some control over its use. But Peres is unlikely to go that far, unless Hussein changes his public tune. No Israeli politican cou(d be seen as accepting new weapons sales to countries still in a formal state of war against Israel. As it is, Israeli officials have been worried about Hussein's highly publicized closing of the ranks with Syrian President Hafez Assad. The two Arab leaders recently met in Damascus. Murphy was instructed to obtain from Hussein a first-hand reading of Syrian intentions toward the peace process. There is still some confusion in Washington about what Assad is really up to: Does his rapprochement with Hussein mean the Syrian position is becoming more reasonable and moderate, or doesit mean that Hussein's position is becoming more obdurate? And where exactly does the Soviet Union fit into the picture? To Washington, Hussein's public moves toward Damascus are fully understandable. Hussein is seen in the U.S. as weak and vulnerable. U.S. officials see the Jordanian monarch as taking out some insurance if the entire peace process should falter. For the Administration, however, this raises an added dilemma. The improved state of Jordanian-Syrian relations weakens its case before Congress of the pending weapons sale to Jordan. Defense and State Department officials, in initial testimony in support of the sale late last year, argued that Jordan needed the systems to protect itself prin^ly against the Syrian threat.

JCC Health Club offers >v heat and massage therapy "The use of heat and massage therapy in the temporary relief of minor pain dates back to antiquity. These methods are still used worldwide to help relieve aching muscles and sore joints, and to promote relaxation. The writings of Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine 2,300 years ago, advised that, 'the physician must be experienced in rubbing.' The TXirks of medieval times took iiol air baths to preserve health." according to Scott Kotzen, licensed massage therapist at the Jewish Community Center. "At the JCC Health Club, we have expanded the idea of the TVirlrish baths to a process that rnay begin with a trip into our dry sauna with temperatures of up to 175° Fahrenheit. Next, after a tepid shower, may come the steamroom where wet steam reaches a temperature of about 120° which causes the bather to perspire and breathe freely. It is then appropriate to shower again and rest until the body temperature returns to normal. At this time, scientific mas.sage is recommended as a reliable professional effort for im-
•
proving circulation and body tone, as well as for relief of mental and physical fatigue." The JCC Health Club has qualified massage therapists, all of whom are active membefs of the American Massage Therapy Association and licensed by the Nebraska State Department of Health. Subjects included in their training are anatomy, physiology, hydrotherapy, hygiene and professional ethics. "Because massage is not yet a common part of our contemporary cultural experience, many people hesitate to pamper themselves," Mr. Kotzen said. Did you know? New railroads brought thousands of emigrant workers and settlers to Omaha — as many as 500 coming to Omaha Union Station on two daily trains from New York. They were lured'by railroad signboards in Canada and Europe tha^ promised glorious opportunities and land at $3 an acre, with 10 years to pay. Many stated at the Union Pacific Emigrant House or the Cozzens Hotel at Ninth and Hamey Streets. [ Western Heritage Muaeum

By Judy SIJT Perhaps you've heard people talking recently about a new technique called "imagery" but you're not quite so sure what it is. Would you like to be able to relax a little more, feel better and improve your lifestyle? If so then "Imagery and Health" the next program offered in the Wellness Series sponsored by the Health Services Department is worth looking into. "Imagery is a concept that has been around for a long time," according to Stephen Pew, Ph.D., who will be conducting the series of three workshops March 6, 13 and 20 from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. "Participants in the program use their imagination — they make pictures in their minds — and focus on being well," stated Dr. Pew. "This is an informational series about how your state of mind — your attitude — can affect your health," continued Dr. P6w. "Participants will learn techniques that will teach them to stay well, feel better
and live better tifestylee," concluded Dr. Pew. Dr. Pew is a graduate of the University of Nebraska at Lincoln and has his Ph.D. in educational psychology. He has been in the health services fletd for 16 years and has been in private practice in Omaha for the past three years. Register for "Imagery and Health" Code No. 03-278 ... it's $15 for members and $22.50 for non-members for the entire series.
