Jewish groups hail Pope's visit to Rome's synagogue NEW YORK, (JTA) visit by Pope — The viait John Paul 11 to the main synagogue in Rome April 13 was hailed by American Jewish groups as a major step in the process of reconciliation between the Catholic and Jewish faiths. They also expressed hope that it would lead soon to VaticaQ recognition of the State of Israel. The American Jewish Congress and the World Jewish Congress declared in a joint •tatament that the Pope's visit "and the content of his eloquent remarks constitute an important and hopeful new chapter in the history of Catholicism's relations with Judaism. "The Pope's formulation of that relationship bespoke an unusual warmth and friendship that embrace and confirm the considerable progress that has occurred in in the past 20 years since Vatican II. More important, it holds the promise of further progress in that relationship," the AJC and

The U.S. government's National Institute of Health advised him of Mr. Sokolofs work in this area. Mr. Sergei was interested in producing a segment on c)ioleaterol, with special emphasis on children. During February, Mr. Sergei and a news crew spent three days in Nebraska taping interviews. Thousands of feet of videotape were filmed including a two hour discussion with Mr. Sokolof. Dr. Timothy Johnson, medical editor at ABC, will narrate the segment.

Schneier also expressed confidence that the Pope's condemnation of anti-Semitism in all of its'forms and from'any sowee "witb: have a profound effect oji the attitude of Catholics to Jews and Jews to Catholics for generations to come." Dr. Ronal Sobel, chairman of the Intergroup Relations Committ^ee of the AntiDefamation League of B'nai B'rith, said in a statement that the Pope's visit was "both a symbol and reality testifying to the revolution that has taken place in CatholicJewish relations during the last quarter of a century." Sobel, who is senior rabbi of Temple Emanu-El in New York, added, "The Pope's recognition and reaffirmatien of the irrevocable call to the Jewish ptoplt by God also

The Pope's visit to the synagogue, he said, should bie viewed as one more step toward recognition "which must, is bound to come, even though we cannot sior when." Riva added that for some time now it has been said "off the record" that "the Pope has a great desire to visit Jerusalem and is just waiting for an opportunity." Italian Jewish leaders feel this may well be the Pope's next step and "he knows he has a standing invitation," IXilia Zevi, president of the Union of Italian Jewish CJommunities, re^xmdeid.

Hannah Senesh returns to Sdot Yam Editor'! note: Our review of Hannaii Senesh would have commented upon the brilliance of the star, Lori Wilner, and the absorbing content ot the play, performed last weekend at the Jewish Community Center. By extraordinary coincidence, however, a revie^ has arrives from Israel where Alan Potash, former asBiBtant cultural arts director at the JCC, met the principals including Hannah's brother. His review follows: By Alan Potash It's remarliable to be able to bring someone back to life! Well, for me Hannah Senesh was alive and in front of me; a second time. Lori Wilner, David Shechter. Perry Brualcin and the rest of the Hannah Senesh production staff brought the 22-year-old Jewish heroine back to life at her one time home Kibbutz Sdot Yam, my current residence in Israel. I was thrilled to be able to see this fantastic onewoman show again (I saw it summer 85 when it played at the Cherry Lane theater ip New York). Even more excited to gee it in Israel at the place that made her want to fight for the survival of Jews and Israel. Hannah came to Sdot Yam (Field's By the Sea) after studying at an agricultural kibbutz. Sdot Yam was founded in
19,')6 with only a few buildings standing when she arrived. The kibbutz's only luxury was a beautiful view of the Mediterranean Sea, Today, 1986, the kibbutz is celebrating iU 50th Anniversary, Even though I have to walk 100 feet to the bathroom there are more comforts of the modern world then Hannah could ever have dreamed. She left the kibbutz for a military mission and never returned! The audience at Sdot Yam was a special and challenging one for Lori, not only were there contemporaries of Hannah's there but Hannah's brother George also. The play opened in Jerusalem in the new million dollar theater but he . chose to see it in the dining hall of the kibbutz. My favorite scene as well as the most emotional; Hannah is writing a letter to her brother, George. Only to. be read if she didn't return from her mission. As she is thinking and writing we hear the voice of a young man; her brother reciting the contents. My first thought was how George felt hearing it and how the actress and writer felt performing it. WOW! My heart pumped and my eyes swelled! After I saw the play in New York I picked up her biography including her diary and poems. I read it every day and not a moment passed without me thinking of her short life, her efforts and her dreams. Now, 1 am
in Israel. Being a kibbutz and not a city the dining hall doubles as the theater, information center, phone booth, meeting place, command center .. . Lori had a challenge not often experienced in the theater world; continuous distractions. The show began as the Bun was setting behind the Mediterranean; a typical enchanting sunset! Well, when the sun sets that means it's supper time. Of course, not everyone read the information board informing them that meal time was pushed back an hour. Half-way through the performance doors were opening and closing, kids were running and screaming and babies were crying. I was embarrassed but Lori continued with her brilliant performance! At one point in the show she is crawling through a forest hiding from the enemy. Just then planes and helicopters were soaring overhead and the effect made up for the kids screaming and phone ringing. The people on the kibbutz pay tribute to her every year. They have established a Hannah Senesh Memorial day. Also, the library is named after her. A special tribute is made every Shabbat; at the conclusion of services her poem ELI ELI is chanted. Lori sings the poem/song twice in the play — it is beautiful.

The Simons see the IPO By Morris Maline Omaha's Miriam and Ervin Simoii love Israel and love music. So it's natural to think that on one of their past seven trips to Israel they would have seen the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra. "We tried on every occasion, but we were unable to get tickets," Mrs. Simon said. She pointed out that IPO tickets are sold by subscription and the only way a nonsubscriber can get a ticket is when a ticketholder decides not to attend. "It's easier to (let a ticket to a Chicago Bears oi a big Comhusker game than it is to see the IPO." ' However, a combination of persistence and ingenuity finally paid off for the Simons — on their eighth and most recent trip to Israel. "This time, I called by telephone from Omaha and was able to get in touch with a nice person who understood our need." Mrs. Simon said that it wasn't easy getting through and that, the ticket agent
really had a great deal of difficulty with the fact that someone from Omaha would be caUing Israel for ticket .information. "Where do yoii want to sit," the agent asked? "Anywhere, Mrs. Simon replied. "Anywhere, wher^ exactly?" ' "Okay, eighth row center, how's that? Back and forth the conversation went. Details, and more details. When would the tickets be called for?
How would they be paid for? etc. "When we arrived at the theater in Jerusalem, the same woman I talked with on the.phone shouted 'you must be the woman from the United States'". She then handed Mrs. Simon tickets and would you believe? — eighth row center. "The orchestra was fantastic, just brilliant. We both were thrilled and now we can't wait to see them in Omaha."
A manuscript with the musical notation of the Sabbath table melody "Zur Mishelo Achalnu" as simg by Jews in Germany about 500 years ago has been discovered at the Bavarian National and University Library in Munich by Prof. Israel Adler, director of the Jewish Music Center at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

There's inore to Israel than headfines Fpundaticxis of freedom Kenneth P. Weiner, co-chairman, Omaha Bar Association's, Committee on Media Relations, has provided us with an editorial viewpcrtnt on Law Day USA. 'The editorial has our support andia as foUows: On May 1 many Americans will quietly observe a holiday known as Law Day. No tanks will toll and no soldiers will parade in honor of this day. Americans across the nation will take some time from their normal pursuits to learn about the tradition of law under which this nation has lived and grown for 200 years. Our Constitution for two centuries has acted aa a guardian of our liberties, a fact we indeed should celebrate this Law Day. America's success in protecting the liberties of her citizens is directly due to the fact that our government consists of a body of laws, written laws to which each of us can appeal. In the past we. may have stumbled, but never have we ceased in our pursuit of justice and liberty under the law. This one principle has guided us this far in our quest: We need not depend for our rights upon the good will of those who govern us. The founders of this nation knew the tyranny of the rule of men. That is why, as they looked into the uncertain future of their young country, they embraced the principle of a government of laws and created a government bound by a written Constitution. But our Constitution has roots that extend deep into history. Many years before the founders of our nation wrote the Constitution, their forebears already had assembled the foundatioiis of our freedoms, formed in crisis, laid in hope, engraved with the name of liberty. In documents and declarations, which too many of us know too little about, they opposed the right of kings to rule at their whim, and cried out that men and women have the right to rule themselves, through just laws justly eiuurted and enforced This is the reason, the spirit and the reality that we celebrate on Law Day 1986. But we need not think that all of the great work has been done. We can continue the work of the founders, and of those who went before them. We can stand guard over our Constitution by accepting the task of learning about the law and its history. When we know in our hearts the principles of our freedom, then our freedom can never really be taken from us. When we know why our laws were made, we will know much better why we should seek to protect and keep those laws. We will understand the value of our system of government, a government of law and reason rather than a government of men and brute force. In many ways at many times we have failed to act according to the principles we espouse. Yet that is no cause for abandoning those principles. It is cause for renewing our eflbrts, to learn more about the foundations of our freedoms. This Law Day 19S6 Americans have much to celebrate, and also much for which they must Strive.

HAIFA — Life in Israel is never dull or monotonous. Quite aside from the big news that makes the headlines, even ortlinaiy, everydity incidents have their own excitement, drama, humor and sometimes tragedy. For example, from recent weeks: Precedent — the Matriarch Sarah. Social beneHts for Israel's women, as listed in the regulations of the National Social Insurance, provide that a woman who receives the automatic grant for the elderly (given to women at age 60) will not thereby forfeit her right to the grant given for the birth of a first child. With a Little Bit of Luck. A new immigrant from England will need more than a little bit of luck to make a living in Israel — or he will have to undergo vocational retraining for a new occupation. Heretofore he has earned his livelihood as a croupier in a casino. A Spaceship is not a Home. If an Orthodox Jew were to be an astronaut, would he require A mezuza on his spaceship? Rabbi Israel Lau rule in the negative, since the craft ia no more his home than a plane or an automobile. A Schnater's Kinder. A loud blast shattered the stillness iy Safed and at once drew a large team of police and soldiers. Investigation revealed that an electric hot water boilfr had exploded because it had no thermostat safety valve. The owner of the building was quickly located at bjs store, which sells thermostat safety valves. AralM Demand Koaher Supervision. Arab producers of meat products in Ramallah and Nablus have asked for kashnit supervision of their products to enable them to sell to the Jewish market in Israel and abroad. After initial reluctance, the rabbis came to the conclusion that the Arabs would offer their wares anyhow, and it might be better to ensure their kashrut. Mashgichim (ritual supervisors) from the religious settlements in Sanuria now provide such supervision. On the Other Hand. Hecht's Butcher Shop in Kfar Shmaryahu specializes in pork products. He had the chutzpa to advertise special priced shopping baskets for the High Holy Days. At least Hecht closes early on Fridays and remains closed on Saturday.s It's Against the Law. Jay-walking or parking in forbidden areas are violations of Torah commandments, according to a safety guide drawn up for yeshiva students by a group of Bnai Brak rabbis. A rabbinical court has also ruled that observant Jews should refrain from riding with drivers who disobey traffic rules. Israel's Undei^orld in America.

Tq the Editor: Friendship is a vital human need, it is a precious possession to be greatly valued and cherished. We bring strength and healing to each other through our acts and expressions of friendship. We bring enrichment to each other by the warmth of an extended hand and by a word kindly spoken. This truth has become even more evident to me in recent days. While recuperating from illness, I have been cheerfully occupied witb the reading of ever-so-many get-well notes from members of the community — congregants and non-congregants alike. Their expressions of concern for my well-being have contributed to my hastened recovery. Their demonstration of friendship is a source of much strength to me. This is a reflection of the sense of unity and togetherness that exist in our community. There is a caring and a sharing in all aspects of our communal life that have made us a strong Jewish community. It is a communal quality in which we can take great pride. . I am gratefiil to be part of this community and am appreciative of the caring shown toward me in my period of illness. May we continue in all of our communal endeavors in a united yiay, and may we all be blessed with an overflowing measure of health and strength.

Jacques Chirac, France and the Middle East Dmvld A. HarrU Deputy Director, Interikational ReUttona Department American Jewish (Committee Jacques Chirac, the newly-nainbd French prime ministeFv retumB to the key position he first held from 1974 to 1976 under President Giscard d'Estaing. Leader of the Rally for the Republic (RPR), the neoGaullist party he has led for a decade, and two-term Mayor ot Paris, Chirac's accession to power portends a possible shift in France's pro-Israel posture under President Mitterand. Although Mitterand's term continues until 1988, the French political structure provides for a distribution of power between the top two posts, thus permitting Chirac to have a major, perhaps decisive, impact on the direction of French domestic and foreign policy. As Mayor of France's largest city, Chirac has enjoyed good relations with the 300,000-member Jewish community. Jewish leaders praise his openness, accessibility and energy, ^n December, Chirac addressed a mostly Jewish gathering at the naming of Rene Cassin square, even quoting from the Talmud in honoring the late French Jewish Nobel Peace Prize winner and human rights activist. Eatly this year, after lengthy and complex discussions between the Paris City Hall, Ministry of Culture and Jewish community, agreement was reached to create a museum of Jewish art. Chirac's support for this project was crucial to its successful outcome. Indeed, the municipality has offered a building gratis. In August 1982, a kosher restaurant in Paris was attacked, leaving six dead and 22 wounded. Mayor Chirac returned from vacation to attend a memorial ceremony and condemned the "horrible" and "racist character" of the tragedy. At the time of the bomb blast at the Rue Copemic synagogue, which left four persons dead, Chirac Immediately dispatched an aide to the scene and himself came.to the site the next day. Yet when a mas-s demonstration to protest this anti-Semitic attack was organized, the RPR hesitated to participate
The students' battle (continued from page 4) May 16 Israeli Independence Day celebrations. Flying fists and flying chairs often settled arguments when logic failed. Worst of all, though, was that our small band of activists received little guidance from the outside. There was no network of pro-Israel cause as its prime role on campu*. We were aloiie. 'Ih|U baa all changed in recent yean thanks to the AmericdttlWilPuUic ASaiis ComitittM^ PoWtert Uwbniiitt Devei(q>ment Program (PLDP) which — together with the B'nai B'rith Hillel Foundation — is ending the isolation of pro-Israel activists on campus. It is teaching them that they are not alone and that there are tried and true methods of promoting Israel on campus. In March, AIPAC and Hillel completed a nationwide political training seminar that reached over 1,3(X) students. Jonathan Kessler, director of AIPAC's student programs, said that the success of the seminar demonstrated that "there is a tremendous resurgence ot student activism on campus." Five seminars were held — at Yale, Ohio State, Brandeis, the University of Texas and Stanford. Each was a regional event with students in attendance from neighboring states. Richard Fishman, Kessler's associate and chief organizer of the seminars, points out that at the University of l^xas, there were students who came from as far away as Arkansas and Louisiana. At Stanford, he s^ys, students came from Oregon and Washington state as well as from all over northern California. The programs on each campus were similar. They included a Senator or a House member who discussed the role of (Congress in U.S.-Israel relations. AIPAC staff people spoke about developments in the Middle E^t and in Washington. There were workshops on building pro-Israel campus coalitions, on combatting anti-Israel propaganda, dnd on using student power to back pro-Israel candidates for political office. Encouraging political involvement is a growing part of AIPAC's_ mission. Dan Mariaschin, director of the AIPAC department which includes the campus program, saiys that he thinks it is "essential that we do everything we can to get pro-Israel students involved politically. In this democracy, political action is the prime way to influence events. Knowledgeable students can not only fight the pro-Israel battle on c6mpu8, they can also help ensure that our government continues to support a secure Israel." The students thethselves agree. James Duell, a student at the University of Arkansas, says that the Tnaa workshop "helped me feel less isolated. It showed me many ways that I myself could make a difference and it linked my campus to the wider pro-Israel community." Robert Ledennan, AI- , PAC's student organizer at Yale, says that the workshop at his canqms "not only helped give me the tools to be effective now, it helped set the stage for a lifetime of involvement." In fact, it is students l^e Ledennan and Duell who are the most imprefsive part of the program.

because of the heavy involvement of the Socialist and Communist parties in the manifestation. Finally, however, it was decided to join to "express its solidarity with the national elah against racism," according to Chirac. Chirac was interviewed at length in 1982 in the French Jewish monthly L'Arebe. Of the French Jewish community and its ties with Israel, he said, "History shows that Jews have resided in what is today France for more than 2,000 years, and that, despite the persecutions and expulsions, they always lived in at least one part of the country, from Marseille to Alsace ... I do not forget that during thf Middle Ages the French rabbis were celebrated and one of the first to use the French language was the famous Raahi ... It is normal that in the hearts of the Jews there is a plac^ for Israel, the object of 20 penturies of hope and prayers, the biblical Promised Land, and the place where Holocaust survivors live." French Jews, nevertheless, are concerned about the possible impact of Chirac and his RPR party on French foreign policy in the Middle East. France is a significant military and economic prawer with substantial global interests^^ including the Middle East and North Africa. One of five permanent members of the U.N. Security Ckiuncil and a founding member of the 12-nation European Economic Community, France is further centrally placed to address Middle East issues. The election of Mitterand in 1981 ushered in the most unabashedly pro-Israel French leader in years and strengthened Franco-Israeli bilateral ties, a move that Chirac has criticized as excessive, according to a 1982 study on France by the London-based Institute of Jewish Affairs. Does the Socialist reversal in the recent election and ascendancy of the RPR, under Chirac's leadership, therefore, augur a change in this pro-Israel policy? Chirac's previous foreign policy record, notwithstanding his favorable ties with French Jews domestically, gives pause for thought. As prime minister, Chirac negotiated the French nuclear ciioperatioii agreement with Iraq. He claimed that the construction ol a reactor near the Iraqi capital posed no risk to Israel and was adequately safeguarded by French re.strictions on its operation, yet Israel, of course, did not share Chirac's sanguine view. It found it necessary to con- duct a successful preemptive strike against the facility in June 1981. According to a New York Times accoimt, Chirac few to Libya in 1976 for an official two-day visit, the first by the head of a Western government since Qaddafi came to power in 1969. At the time Chirac spoke of the "close and longstanding" ties between France and Libya, and added, "I think we shall be discussing political problems as well
as French-Libyari cooperation, which should be extended and well-balanced." At the end of the visit, Chirac and Libyan officials signed agreements for France to build a nuclear power plant in Libya (but not research facilities or the facilitie8,to produce heavy water), and several technical and cultural accords. Three montha later, France agreed to build 10 naval ships for Libya armed with sea-to-sca missiles and anti-aircraft guns. Also during Chirac's tenure as prime minister, France permitted the PLO, which had hitherto been part of the Arab League representation, to open its own Information ad Liaison office in Paris. He claima, again in the L'Archc interview, that, "Everyone knows — for reasons about which I will not now conunent — that I learned about this decision from the radio." Other observers, however, argue that Chirac had certainly never opposed the move in government decision-making'circles. In 1984, in a meeting with an American Jewish Committee delegation. Mayor Chirac, while acknowledging his strofig and long-standing ties with Iraq and its leaders, said, "If Israel is attacked, the Europeans should immediately be on Israel's side. We have first to support Israel, but also to support peace. Nobody contests Israel's right to exist, but the problem is that Israel wants territory and settlements. The political costs, however, are too great." He added that Iraq and Israel actually had common interests in their opposition to Syria, the real Middle East menace. One day, he speculated, Baghdad and Jerusalem might actually reach an understanding and draw Amman in as well. Will Cliirac's strong pro-Arab tilt of the 708 once again prevail as he assumes office? To what degree will the unprecedented leadership configuration of a Socialist President and neo-Gaullist Prime Minister result in changes in French external policy until the 1988 presidential elections? Has Chirac's pro-Arab position been softened by his warm ties with the Paris Jewish community and visit to Israel? How will Chirac's barely disguised interest in running for the presidency in 1988 affect his posture on isiiues between now and election dale? Will the new foreign ministers, Jean-Bernard Raimond.^the current French envoy in Moscow and a career diplomat, reflect the traditional Arabist thinking prevalent in the Foreign Ministry, or counsel a more independent line? While it would be premature to answer these questions, there is an apprehension in large segments of the French Jewish community that the advent of Chirac and the RPR may bring an effort to strengthen further France's position in the Arab world, even at the expense of its ties with Israel, and that the heady days of Franco-Israeli relations of the last five years may perforce be numbered.

70 Israel artists in "Expressions 86' By BCTt I.ewis
Are you ever guilty of watching perfectly awful ty? You know the kiiid { meui... Jiorror junk or poiioe stories ao obvious you can figure out both the crime and the solution before each occtirs! I pride myself in NOT wasting time on such gartiage, but every now and then I find 1 must lose myself in something totally mindleas, and wouldn't you just know that's when 1 have nothing to read As a reauH, I too, belong to that mass of humanity who keepe dreadfiil television on the air — at least on occasioiL This happened a few nights ago, and I found myself parked before the screen, staring witiiout concentration. The program was one of the spook variety, complete with unnatural (and impoeaible) events, levitation aiid God knows what else! Ill give you one guess who walked into the room, kx>ked at the tv and lemarked " I can't believe you're watching that'" Well, it all served a usefVU purpose, because I started thinking about any possible redeeming features such shows might have. It dawned on rae, this might be just the way to retaliate for some of the tragic acts being done to us and other free countries. I mean, you want to talk about terrorism, let's unleash some of this tripe on Khadaiys tv and see how they like being puniahecL Or maybe (you should pardon the e^rsasion) Arafat could use a doee or two of such fiare as Porky, both the ori^nal and Porky U. There are countless placA in the mid-east and other areas where I know our enemies could be brought to their knees by a little forced television viewing. Think about it, wouldn't YOU say uncle if you were unable to do anything about a horrendous schedule of television? Eqjecially if you were somehow coerced into watching. 1 don't know how exactly we could do this, but I DO know there's always talk about subliminal messages being slipped into our thought processes. Without us being aware, I mean. Of course it's just a thought. That's one of my jobs you know, thinking up ways to make useful suggestions to our friends; so why not zap the others vnce in a while? I'm always glad to pass along innovative ideas to Israel, in the interest of brotherhood (yeah, y«ah, sisterhood too!). 1 helped them get into the fast food business and made wonderful inroads into their movie industry. That is, I sent along good ideas and then it's up to THEM to follow through, but as you can see, I take this teaponsibility seriously. Well, that's my measage. Anybo(i|y who has the technical knowhow to slip televised garbage into the sets of Khadafy and his cohorts, I want you to know you can count on me for any help you need!

Interfaith Holocaust service at church Omaha's second annual Interfaith Holocaust Remembrance Service will take place on May 5 at 7:30 p.m. at St. Margaret Mary Catholic Church, 61st and Dodge Streets. This community-wide observance is a memorial to the six million Jews and millions of other innocent victims murdered by the Nazis during the Second World War. "The purpose of the program is to recall the past and appraise the meanings and implications of the Holocaust for our lives as Christians and Jews," said Yit^ak Santis, Plains States regional director of the AntiDefamation League of B'nai B'rith, one.of the service's co-sponsors. "Unbelievably, the h^irs to the demonic hate of Nazism are active right, here in our own backyard in Nebraska. We need to learn, now more than ever, from the Holocaust so that 8U(;ti destruction never again happens to anyone
anywhere," he added. Other co-sponsors include the following: the Community Relations Committee of the Jetwish Federation of Omaha; the Baptist Pastors and Ministers Conference; the Catholic Archdiocese of Omaha; the Episcopal Diocese of Nebraska; Metropolitan Lutheran Ministries; the Presbytery of Missouri River Valley; the Serbian Orthodox Church; United Metropolitan Methodist Ministries; and the Rabbinical Council of Nebraska. The service will be led by various members of Omaha's clergy, and Will include a special candlelighting ceremony, according to Santis. Special guest speaker will be Robert Ross, professor of Religious Studies at the University of Minnesota, who wilt address the subject, "American Christian Responses to the Holocaust." Prof. Ross is also an ordained Baptist minister.

Please note-next gathering May 13, after Pesach. At the April 15 early-birds Art Grossman was moderator, and it was the day after our raid on the little colonel's terrorist's encanipments. We wondered why our "allies", France, Italy, and Spain did not allow us to fly over their countries, thereby shortening the long distance to Libya. Was it "Oil," or did they think this would stop terrorist attacks against their people? We discussed Lyndon LaRouche, the former Communist and now a right wing activist who may destroy the Democratic Party. Art read excerpts from the Jerlualem Poat, and from the Herald, an article on tax cheats, cheating which has resulted. iti a loss of one hundred billion dollars to
our treasury. A lar^ part of this cheating comes from those engaged in illegal profits. Among comments from the floor, Harry Schulman read a humorous IRS report in Yiddish, humorous, but to the point. We heard of Pope John Paul's visit to a Rome Synagogue. It's a start, but we trust that the Vatican will soon recognize Israel. To a delicious luncheon,' served up by Mollie and gals, Motzi by Reva Oruch, Benschen by Art Goldstein. V. P. Sam subbed for Pres. Gerald Bemstien, who is attending his daughter's wedding in Dallas.

Meyer Green offered discount tickets to Royal's baseball games, and Art Grossman spoke on behalf of the Jewish Council, who offered beautiful Hagaddah books for children. V. P. Sam presented guest speakers, Steve Rod, executive vice president of the Jewish Federation. Steve replaced candidate for Governor, Kay Orr, who had unfortunately been in an automobile accident the day before, and was unable to attend. We trust she has not suffered from the accident. Steve directed the distribution of pledge cards for the Jewish Federation and we all filled in our pledges. Steve gave us a rundown on the various recipients of our donations, where our money goes, and who receives it. Very worthwhile, as we all know. Don't fail us.

April 26, 19M f '^ II [^Y(S)im Ma^'s^teima^tuit By Sara Woirson JCAC Volunteer Imagine a day of carefree enjoyment'and far-flung pleasures; one day of family fun all planned out for you without responsibility or worry. It is not just a daydream! It can be yours just by remembering May 18 is Vdm Ha'atzmaut. That is the day the Jewish Cultural Arts Council has set aside for family celebration and fiin. Of course, with a theme like: "Israel for the Young and Young at Heart," it's easy to picture what the day will be like.

Oh yes, let's not forget the numerous drop-in youth and art activities, family games outdoors or in the gym, swimming. Alms, educational exhibits.

There Js a significant amount of "computer crimes" committed in Israel, but much of it goes unreported because of a fear of bad publicity by the victimized companies, said a Ministry of Justice official at an international symposium on
"The Computer and the Law" sponsored by the Faculty of Law at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The ministry is now drafting new legislation to deal with computer crime, it was stated.
