Closing remarks jolt Pacesetters outpace '85 Cathdic/Jewish dialogue with 22% gain likely By Morria Maline Closing remarks by two Omaha rabbis jolted an otherwise placid meeting of Jews and Catholics at Creightori University Sunday night. Rabbi Myer Kripke, rabbi emeritus, Beth El Synagogue, said "Jews cannot forget 2,000 years of perbt-cution and cannot forget that Catholic teaching Was a major contribution to the Holocaust." And Rabbi Stephan F.' Barack, of Temple Israel, called upon Omaha's church leaders to .speak out against anti-Sennitism. The rabbis' remarks came at the end of,a two-hour scholarly presentation arrange<E. to celebrate the 20th anniversary of "Nostni, Aetate." This declaration, issued by the Second Vatican Council oa Catholic-Jewish relations, formally denounced anti-Semitism as church doctrine. About 150 attended, including the Rev. Michael 0. Morrison, S.J., president, Creighton University. The rnajor speakers were Rabbi Leon Klenicki, director of Interreligious Affairs, Anti-Defamation League, New York, and the Rev. John T. Pawlikowski, a Catholic Servite priest from Chicago. Klenicki suggested that the 20 years of dialogue were in reality a monologue with the Christians talking and the Jews listening. "Dialogue demands respect for the other as a person of God which has not been tiiie reality for the past 2,000 years." Klenicki said that both Jews and Christians "as people of Cod" must face together the new diabolic force running rampant in the world. He said that the church "deploring" antiSemitism is not enough, adding that the Holocaust was not a Jewish event in Europe but a combined failure of witnessing God in Western Civilization. Klenicki also suggested that Christians study Genesis where they will find God promising the "Promised Land" to the Jews.
"Israel is not an invention of the Zionists' and a papal ambastisdor to Israel would help bring peace to that region," he added. Pawlikowski called for a commitment to partnership between Jews and Catholics to battle secularism and religious fanaticism. "If we are going to prevent either of these forces from dominating us, we must form a coalition of openminded religious people who are able to say that God dwells in each of our brothers' faiths." Pawlikowski said the past 20 years has made a difference bringing people together in a "quiet but substantial revolution." He said that must Catholic theologians now believe that there is a "group emphasis, an intimate bonding" with the Jewish people that Christianity has with no other religion. "When Christianity looks at its heart, it sees Judaism". Pawlikowski also .said that the guidelines for implementation of Nostra Aetate expand the horizons of dialogue. "We now look upon the Hebrew scriptures as a fundamental basis of a sound spirituality and recognize that the New "Testament is a truncated vers^n of Jesus' teaching." As a respondent, Kripke said that 20 years cannot erase 20 centuries and that most Jews.have real objections over the "low priority" that the church attaches to improved relations. In Omaha, he stfid, most Catholic teach-' ers have not even read the implementation notes and that while there are hundreds of sermons about abortion, there are none about the Holocaust. Barack suggested two proposals to make some sort of favorable impact in this life. He suggested that immediate attention be given to providing more education about "our respective faiths." His second point referred to the memory of the Jews and the "frightening" aspects of anti-Semitism. "Speak oiit against it, as we are most sensitive to it," he asserted. The Catholic-Jewish Dialogue was cosponsored by AUL, the Archdiocese of Omaha, the Community Relations Committee of the Jewish Federation and Creighton University. Participating in the Catholic/Jewish dialoKue, below, are from left, the Rev. Val J. Peter, director of Father Flanagan's Boys' Home; the Rev. Robert F. Preisinger, director of the Ecumenical Affairs Commission, Archdiocese of Omaha; Rabbi Stephan F. Baracli, Temple Israel; and Rabbi Myer S. Kripke, rabbi emeritus, Beth El Synagogue. At left are main speakers, Rabbi Leon Klenicki and the Rev. John J. Pawlikowski.
By Morris Maline The Pacesetter Division of the Men's Campaign announced a likely 22 per cent increase over its 1985 performance at the close of the Irving R. Levine dinner IWsday night at the Highland Country Club. Phil Schrager, cu-chairman, told the 125 guests that while all the cards were not yet in, those collected hy Jewish Press deadline accounted for a 22 per cent gain. His announcement followed a wide-ranging talk by NBC's Mr. Levine on the economies of Israel and the United States with a partial excursion into foreign affairs. He pointed out, for example, that any action (QT Khadafy tu intercept an Israeli airliner may trigger an American military response. "The people in Washington are taking his threats seriously and the fact that our'fleet is close to Libya is no accident." He said there are many in the government who "hope" the scenario will take place so it will give the Uni Ad States an opportunity to "punish" Libya. Mr. Levine also discussed Israeli relations with the Soviet Union hinting that the release of Anatoly Shcharansky may be one additional sign of a warming relationship. "The Soviets may be trying to defuse the human rights issue before the second summit."
He spoke of a "major turnaround" in the Israeli economy as a result of the coalition government following a policy of auaterity as outlined by an American commission. "This called for massive wage and price controls, dropping inflation there from an annual rate of 400 per cent to 30-36 per cent." Mr. Levine said that Secretary of State George Shultz has emerged as a "strong friend" of Israel. "He is disappointed with the Arabs and now is cautious about United States leadership in the peace process." Mr. Levine pointed out that considerations for Middle East peace now are tied to Israeli politics and the forthcoming elections in the United States. He said Jordan's Hussein wants to recover land he lost, Arafat wants an independent Palestinian state, and that Peres seeks an opportunity to call a special election. On the. United States economy, the NBC commentator said he was "optimistic" considering the moderate rate of inflation, steady interest rates and the predicted slow growth. "The problem is the huge deficit, but even this is manageable."
An Omaha welcx)me The Omaha Jewish community welcomed more than 30 newcomers at a brunch last Sunday at the home of Nancy and Shelly Rips (ranter).

Objectivity, not here! Reading a newspaper is one thing, being there in person is something entirely different. To understar^d what I mean, you would have to have been present at Creighton University last Sunday night to observe the Catholic/Jewish dialogue. The front page story in today's issue is as objective and fair as I could make it. That's the responsibility *of a reporter who works for a newspaperf But, remaining objective is not easy, especially when one's Jewish heart pumps with joy and pride. What follows is my editorial opinion, comments that I, as a newsman, would not put into a news story: The ambience was a lecture room in a Jesuit cojlege. The president of the University was in attendance. The event was sponsored by the ADL, the Archdiocese, the Federation's CRC committee and Creighton. Cordiality was the feeling. After all, this was a celebration of sorts. For the past 20 years, Catholics and Jews have been coming, together to talk about their respective religions, their histories, and their presentday problems. A rabbi from New York and a priest from Chicago gave the principal talks, each taking 45 minutes or so to express their opinions and feelings. They did their parts in a spirit of friendship, showing mutual respect for each.other and for the other's religion. This was the third such dialogue in Omaha and about 150 people were present. The number of Jews was much greater than our proportion in the comrtiunity. Toward the end of the program, when the respondents were called upon for remarks, the audience was tiring- The hour was creeping to lateness and the anticipation was t hat the final comments would ease the group into ihf reception area. We all expected to be warm and comfortable. Rabbi Barack and Rabbi Kripke changed this. Now, this is the difficult part. The rabbis spuRe about the need for the churches in Omaha to immediately speak out against antiSemitism in this community. And they spoke about the feelings of Jews about being uncomfortable with Christianity. "20 years don't erase 20 centuries" is the way Kripke laid it out. The point that is difficult to convey, however, is the absolute delicacy that the rabbis utilized in making their points. They spoke with compassion, with friendship, with charity, but they spoke with arrows of truth. The next time you see Barack or Kripke, give each a pat on the back for me, and for you.

By Wolf Blitzer WASHINGTON The major pro-Israeli lobbyitig organization in Washington haa called on the V.S. to develop an effective defense against conventional ground-to-ground missiles which It could then share with Israel. "Israel's enemies are now being armed by the Soviet I'nion with a n^'w j;enerallon of highly lethal surl^^loBurface missiles, nmre accurate and more deadly thIPany previously available weapons," said Thomas Dine, Executive Director of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). "IUnfortunately, there are no comparable defensive systems uvailable today that Israel could obtain to protect its vulnerable cities from bombardment." Dine was testifying on Jan. 30 in open-door session before the Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Strategic and Theater Nuclear Forces. The panel had convened to examine ppssible new defenses against tactical ballistic missiles. Dine said this was a subject "of particular interest to those concerned" atmut the supply of such missiles by the Soviet Union to "its client states in the Middle East." "These missiles threaten American security interests and the security of our only reliable, consistent and democratic ally in that part of the world," he said. The hearing came as the Reagan Administration has actively continued to push its controversial Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) program, better known as "Star Wars." Israel has been invited to participate in the initial research and development stage of the SDI project. Israeli officials, in accepting the U.S. invitation, have been anxious to learn if some of the new missile defense technologies proposed in the SDI program might have a spillover benefit in conventional warfare. Thus, there are clear benefits for Israel in eventually receiving these stateof-the-art technologies. During the hearing, Dine submitted a detailed paper on the threat these new ground-to-ground missiles, especially the Soviet-made SS-218 recently deployed in Syria, pose for the security of Israel. The paper was written by W. Seth Cams, AlPAC's senior military analyst. "When fired from Syria," Cams said, "the SS-21 can reach targets throughout northern Israel, including one of Israel's main air bases, Ramat David. If deployed in Jordan, however, all of Israel would be brought within range." . An accompanying map showed the clear vulnerability of
virtually all of Israel's major air bases which were identified as Ovda, near Eilat; Ramon, Hatzerim, and Nevatim in the Negev: Tel Not and Hatzor near the coastal plane, and Ramat David and Mahanayim in the north. "If there is a danger of an Arab attack," Carus said, "Israel will be forced m strike first, because it will not be able to take the risks of waiting and absorbing an Arab attack. Allhougfi such a strategy will make the Middle East a more dangerous place, I he absence of a viable defense against tactical ballistic missiles will leave Israel with no alternative." The paper suggested that "tactical ballistic missiles directed against (Israeli) cities could easily result in 5,0(X) dead and wounded Israeli civilians in a future Arab-Israeli war." Thus, Carus called for a new defense against such missiles, "Although the Israeli military could take steps to develop defenses on its own," he said, "the development of such systems is too great a challenge to be handled by one small country, "Clearly, any progress made in the United States to develop answers to the dangers posed by tactical ballistic missiles could have a fundamental affect on Israel's future security. And, it should be stressed, the benefits resulting from the development of such a system would be shared by other American allies who also find that they must deal with the growing threat of tactical ballistic missiles," Meanwhile, Israel received some bad military-related news the other day — portending possibly even worse news down the road. Because of the Gramm-Rudman budget cuts, Israel Aircraft Industries (IAD is now in danger of losing a proposed $10-12 million contract to sell mineplows to the U.S. Marine Corps. The mineplows, which are attached to the front of M-60 and other tanks, clear away mines. lAI officials were informed that the contract was not endangered because of the most recent federal budget cuts forced on the Marine Corps by the Gramm-Rudman law. The law is designed to reduce the massive federal budget deficit, The Israeli company had been negotiating the deal with the Marines for nearly three years. U.S. officials said all the arrangements had been virtually completed until the Gratnm-Rudman law forced a reevaluation. U.S. and Israeli officials pointed out that the Marini Corps, like the other branches of the U.S. armed services, were currently in the process of sharply cutting back on procurement in a whole host of areas. They strongly denied that the tentative decision to cancel the mineplow deal reflected any political irritation with Israel. • • ,- • . _j . ,• lAI officials had hoped thatihii ihitialsale to the Marine Corps would encourage other foreign nations to purchase the mineplows, which have been shown to be very effective. In recent weeks, lAI, in a joint venture with Tadiran, had announced the sale of a new generation of pilotless reconnaissance aircraft - known as remotely piloted vehicles (RPVs) — to the U.S. Navy. In addition, the U.S. Navy is expected to lease another 12 Kfir fighters lor use during training exercises.

E®tt(Bir© t® tike @dflt(Q)ir The editors'remrvc the right to shorten letters for reasons of length or content To the Editor: The article written about Rabbi Meir Kahane in the Jewish Press, Pii^e ^ Jan. 24, has disturbed me very deeply. When Mr. Mlack called here, we speak of Meir Kahane who sees himself as der Fuhrer of Eretz Yisrael, he evoked in me the strangest madness in his German words. To call another Jew of our nation, the same name as Adolf Hitler. Fifty-five years have past, the Jewish nation has produced a man that Ibllows the shadow of the world's bloodiest murderers, Nazi Germany. As a result, we Jews lost seven million Jews. How can this man have written to all world Jewry those words, which the Jewish Press has published. I am humiliated with the article, being a survivor Jew, and speak against every one involved in writing such ag article, as well as the Jewish Press in Omaha that has passed the O.K. to publish it. I do call on Mr. Black to call off his article. Edwin Black, stop writing about the rabbi. He is an outstanding man in his own right. Carl Rosenberg Editor's note: Mr. Black, the son of Holocaust survivors, is a syndicated columnist. His columns appear regularly in scores of Jewish newspapers in North America. To the Editor: Shown above is one of the many hundreds of pictures now on display in the "Corridor of Jewish History" in the Jewish Community Center. According to members of the Nebraska Jewish Historical Society who are sponsoring the exhibit on Jewish Youth, a steady stream of visitors is coming to see "if they are in the pictures" and to point themselves out to members of their family'or friends. Some visitors have found pictures of themselves as children. Others have found pictures of their children and
grandchildren. Some children have found pictures of their parents and grandparents when they were children. The exhibit offers an opportunity for seeing graduation, confirmation classes, sorority and fraternity pictures, nursery school, choirs, organization and other types of group pictures of t he past 100 years. The great number oT pictures which were submitted caused the exhibit to expand to the area outside of the "Corridor" to the hallway leading to the Livingston Plaza. Also on display are more than a half dozen scrapbooks with pictures of Camp Jay-C-C of 1966 and 67, graduates of Central and Tech high schools in 1923 and 24, AZA sweethearts and other youth group pictures. These books are on g table outside of the museum proper The museum is open to the public during the hours the Jewish Community Center is open and will be available for viewing until May 1. Anyone still having pictures to submit may do so by calling the NJHS office or bringing the pic- • tures to the Jewish Community Center. In the museum there is also a book for identification of the individuals in the various pictures. Anyone knowing the identification of the youngsters in the picture above of the Beth El Nursery School class of 1966 is aske<lto contact the NJHS, 334-8200, ext. 270.

Twenty-six seniors boarded a Boeing 727 plane for Las Vegas, Jan. 30. This was one of our better trips. Our hotel headquarters was the Flamingo Hilton. The ' first stop was the Casino, and we could hardly wait to pull those handles. In the evening we saw Wayne Newton, truly one of a kind performer. ,0n a city tour, which lasted four hours, we saw Ripleys Believe It Or Not Museum, Ethel "M" Chocolate Factory, and Sams' Western Emporium where we hadlunch. In the evening we saw "The LaCage Show" at the Riviera, an impersonator revue. Saturday night, we had a dinner show at the Flamingo, observing "City Lights", a delightful show. Caesar's Palace was our next stop to see "Omnimax Productions". Our last stop was the Las Vegas Hilton Hotel where we saw the spectacular Moulun Rouge cocktail show. Brunch on Sunday was at "Caesar's Palace". "The food was outstanding and plentiful. The variety of smoked fish was enjoyed by all. Mickey Kaplan and Al Oruch made a new path to the poker table at the Barbary Coast. Evelyn Epstein lost Morrie at the Flamingo and Morrie lost Evelyn, but they finally found each other.
