Anatoly in New York By Kevin Freeman NEW YORK (JTA) — Natan (Anatoly) Shcharansky made an emotionally charged appearance before tens of thousands of demonstrators here Sunday, saying that their solidarity with the cause of Soviet Jewry was responsible for his release. "AH the resources of a superpower was not enough to isolate a Jew who hears the voice of solidarity with his people," Shcharanskj^d the huge moss of people gathered afc the 15th annual Solidarity Sunday for, Soviet Jewry rally in Dag Hanunarsiqold Piosa across from the VtuUd Nations. "All tills has become possible bettuse of you." In a brief, 12-minuteaddMss, the recently released former Soviet Jewish Prisoner of Conscience said, "The solidarity of toe people behind bars in the Soviet Union can be expressed only in q>irit. But ytou, the people in the free world, can do much taoie." The 38-year-old mathematician who now lives in Israel added that the Soviet la^ership "who delude themashws into thinking they csn keep as prisonsis 400/)00 of our brothers, must understand that thay will never be able to destroy our solidarity."

Unlike previous films on the Holocaust, SHOAH contains no acbival footage, thus making it a verbal portrait of one of the most sinister chapters in human history. The five-cassette series will be available through the Simon Wiesenthal Center as of July 17, in both VHS and BETA ibrmats. For information, call the Center at (213) 553-9036, extension 37.

UCSJ joins Presidents Morey Schapira, national president of the Unionof Councils for Soviet Jews, announced that the UCSJ has joined the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations. The Jewish Federation of Omaha is a member of the Council. "I am pleased and honored to be able to make this announcement," stated Mr. Schapira. "As one of the largest membership organizations (57,000 members) in the American Jewish community, it is fitting that the UCSJ is assuming its full responsibilities in the Conference of Presidents. "Our joining the Conference at this critical time in the history of Soviet Jewry, with emigration at an alltime low, will help keep the

concerns of Soviet Jews high on the agenda of the American Jewish community.

Ibxsirtt's ®s^® vas^Rf Bert Lewis

I know Pauover hm come and gone, but I Rtill hlNi« gome queations I'd like to aak. For one, I wonder how an organization which promotes brotherhood and fights prejudice can pouibly hav« anything to do with an event that can reasonably be called •exist? . Secondly, if it's a Jewish organiiation, aren't its members even more noticeable? Don't tbey «tand out even more than say, the Rotary club? I Lastly, wouldn't it be really good public relations for such |^_an organization to dMnonstnit* its prvcfpts with eumples Hw &irnea« and equality? [

All right. Those are my questions. Maybe somebody who U' is connected with B'nai B'rith, (whose name is synonymous wi ANTI-DEFAMATION LEAGUE) can explain to me with ho year after year, the biggest fundraising event is for hgw only. How can they sell fairly expensive tickeU to MEN ONLY, feed them in a public place and invite a famous personality to he the guest speaker? Usually the guest is connected with the sports world, true. But why do the good men of B.B./ADL aasume that only MEN are interested? That's not only ricficulous, it's insulting. I have to inject a personal note here and state publicly I personally wouldn't walk into my kitchen to liear Barry Switzer, but it would be nice to have that option. In fact, in past years, there have been speakers I would have loved to he^. So what's the big deal you might say? It's ALWAYS been a STAG - right? Well the big Aeti, my friends, is simply that I tfauik it behooves an international organization which does great good in this world, to practice what it preaches. And it DOES preach brotherhood, fairness, equality, and everything remotely related to those moral precepts. How must we look to the non-Jewish people who notice such things? And I don't mean just those who would capitalize on such an obvious gaff. Come on now fellas. Don't you think it's time you got your act together? Don't you think this is ttie time to behave as you say EVERYBODY ELSE sbot|ld ... by being scrupulously feir in your every action? And I ipean public or otherwise. This annual event... this STAG, which brings people from all over the city, both Jewish and Christian, well really! .< I believe you have a golden opportunity to demonstrate the tenets of your fine ADL. YQU don't need to just chase anti-Semites across the pages of newspapers and other media. You need to exorcise some of your own demons. I propose you begin by changing one of your oldest habits. That of showing favoritism over one sex and shutting out the other. You could accomplish that so easily, by^opening up the STAG to EVERYONE (not just waitresses!). You know, as in "equality forall." Either that or maybe you should change the logo on your stationery when it carries information about such events as a STAG. So what do you sqy guys? Take your collective feet out of your mouth ... it will make it easier to stand tall and proud!

AREA: Judea/Samaria 2,100 sq. mi. Gaza District 140 sq. mi.

Perspective This week, this column will devote itself to JudeaSamaria (the so-called West Bank) and the Gaza<listrict — since 1967. Accompanying this information is a map of the area. Judea-Samaria is a mostly mountainous region, about 70 miles long and 30 miles wide, west of the Jordan River; the Gaza district is a narrow strip of flat shoreline that extends some 20 miles along the Mediterranean coast to the Egyptian border. Historically part of the ancient Land of Israel, both areas were included in the territory temporarily mandated to Great Britain after World War I. This territory, lying east and west of the Jordan River, was divided in 1922 by Britain into two districts. In the eastern part, on 77 percent of the total area, a new Arab entity was set up which, in 1946, became the independent Hashemite Kingdom of Transjordan. In the western portion, the remaining 23 percent, the Jewish national home was being developed, in accordance with Britain's commitment to the terms of the Mandate, which recognized the historical connection of the Jewish people with the Land of Israel and "the grounds for reconstituting their national home in that .country."

The •dministration of Judea-Samaria, as well as of the G«a district, came under Israel's control after the war waged against Israel by Egypt, Jordan and Syria in 1967.

In face of the violence generated by Arab militants, during the Mandatory period, in opposition to the growing Jewish presence in the country and the Jewish community's insistence that the British stand by their obligations, Britain decided in 1947 to relinquish its mandate and to submit the entire problem to the United Nations. On 29 November 1947, the UN General Assembly passed a resolution to partition the area west of the Jordan River into two independent states — one Arab, one Jewish. The Jews accepted the plan; the Arabs rejected it. Upon termination of the British mandate on 14 May 1948, Israel proclaimed its independence. The following day, the armies of Egypt, Syria, TVansjordah, Lebanon and Iraq invaded the new state, compelling Israel to fight its War of Independence, as a result of which the Gaza district came under Egyptian military rule and Judea-Samaria was occupied by TVansjordan. In 1950, the IVansjordaniAn Ving annexed Judea-Samaria, an act recognized t>n|y by Britain and Pakistan, and renamed his country the Haabemite Kingdom of Jordan.

Hussein's reaction By Yitzhak Rabi NEW YORK (JTA)-Israeli Premier Shimon Peres expressed satisfaction with King Hussein's initial reaction to his peace proposals promulgated at the United Nations General Assembly. Appeairingon ABCTV's "Good Morning America" program, Peres termed the'Jordanian King's re/;Sonse,.a8 reported in The TNfi.w York Times, "con~ atructiva" and "encouraging." In ah interview with the Times, Hussein said in Amman: "I believe his (Peres) speech represents the begin-' ning of movement in the right direction,.and reflects personal concern for the fate of future generations and a determination to contribute towards the achievement of peace in our time."

The editors reserve the right to shorten letters for reasons of length or content. To the Editor: Jan. 13, through May 9,1 was happy to have worked with the senior citizens of the Jewish Commuiiity Center, the Livingston Plaza Apartments, and the Rose Bluraklnv Home. This practical experience enabled me to graduate as a Certified Gerontologist from the University o( Nebraska of Omaha. I want to thank everyone for being helpful, friendly and warm, making my tiii)e there enjoyable.* Ann IVrchin .

Continuing, Hussein said: "I hope it is the beginning of a realization of what is required for the establishment of a just and durable peace, in other words, rapid move- ' ment towards the convening of an international conference with the participation of all of the parties of the conflict to try to tackle the issues before us before it is too late." He called the convening of such an international conference "the only solution." Hussein indicated that the immediate termination of the state of war between Israel and Jordan, which Peres had declared in his speech, was problematic because of brael's continued occupation of the West Bank "and othei? tenitories."

UN urged NEW YORK (JTA) Brooklyn District Attorney Elizabeth Holtzman called on the United Nations to open to the public its more than 40,000 secret files on Nazi war criminals. Holtzman'a call, made during a rally across the street from UN headquarters, followed a similar official request by Israel's UN Ambassador Binyanin Netanyahu in a letter to Secretary General Javier Perez de Cuellar. "Sadly, the spirit of Bitburg is still alive today," Holtzman declared at the rally, referring to President Reagfin's visit last year to the military cemetery in Bitburg, West Gefmany, where members of the Waffen SS are buried. The President's visit created an outcry in Jewish and nonJewish communities in this country and abroad. "The Kurt Waldheim affair ... shows that the spirit of Bitburg lives on," Holtzman declared, i

It waa a powerful sight: a Baptist minister, nee professor, standing in the pulpit of a Roman Catholic church exhorting the Christians in a mixed congregation of Jews and Christians "not to steal the Hebrew Scriptures from the Jews, not to give the Scriptures a Christian gloss and not to read theiq as if they were written for Christians, but to read them as they are supposed to be read â&#x20AC;&#x201D; written for and by the Jews." That is hot all this Baptist from Minnesota said, but it was enough to stir the blood. His fire and brimstone heard at the St. Margaret Mary Catholic Church May 5 was refreshing and thought provoking. Professor Robert Ross is the Baptist's name, he is a professor of religion by trade and he spoke at this year's, Interfaith Holocaust Service. He did not mince his words; no sir, he told it just as hÂŤ saw it. "Now some of you might be offended," he continued, "but we must recognize that 95 percent of the perpetrators of the Holocaust were baptized Christians. Oh, I know the excuse, They were not practicing Christians,' but I tell you," Ross said, his voice rising to a crescendo, his finger jabbing in the air, "I tell you they were church members, and they grew up in a Christian culture. And to the Jewish victims, well, they weren't Jews." His message was straight forward, it was crystal clear Christians have only recently begun to confront the fact that the Holocaust took place irl the heart of Christendom. To most Christians the Holocaust is perceived as a "Jewish problem" with little or nothing to do with them personally. How did the Christians present receive this message? If they were outraged, they didn't show it. If they were offended, they didn't reveal their umbrage. Were they feeling guilty? I hope not, we don't want guilt trips. Were they accepting of these facts apd willing to confront the challenge to their consciences? Ldon't know for sure, but judging by the quickness in the way Prof, Ross' books were bought by Christians after the service, perhaps this was the case. If their reactions were indeed positive enough to include a willingness to take Prof. Roes' message seriously, then this is indeed a good sign. Another step had been taken in the right direction. Nevertheless, a reminder of other attitudes nags at my memoiy: I cannot forget the esmest statement of a young Christian colkfe student at Ohio State University who, during last year's Bitburg oontroveiay, told me, "You Jews slmikl forgive and forget what, the Natis did to you."

Arms sales to Iran By Wolf Blitzer WASHINGTON — The Reagan Administration is currently inclined to accept Israel's ofTicial contention that it had not authorized any Israeli new arms sales to Iran. Authoritative U.S. officials said that it appeared likely that a retired Israeli general, charged by the United States with conspiring to sell some two billion dollars in advanced weapons to Iran, was in fact acting on his own. They said that Prime Minister Shimon Peres, since taking office nearly two years ago, had repeatedly assured Washington that Israel was not selling arms to Iran. "We believe him," an American official said. The former Israel officer. Brig. Gen. Avraham Baram (ret), is still being held in a Bermuda jail together with two other Israeli citizens, Israel Eisenberg and his son, Guriel, and two Americans, Samuel Evans, a London-based lawyer accused of masterminding the alleged plgt, and William Northrop, who lives in Tel Aviv and is said to belong to the Northrop aircraft family. All five are expected to be extradicted to the United States to stand trial. They face a maximum five year prison sentence and $250,000 fine. I^te in April, the U.S. government filed indictments against a total of 17 people who were allegedly involved in a massive arms smuggling ring to Iran. Three of those named were the Israelis in Bermuda. The others were Americans, West Germans and Greeks. No weapons *ere actually sent to Iran from Israel. Com|ilaints filed in U.S. District Court in New York alleged that the suspects conspired to sell hundreds of'F-4 and F-S jet fighters, Hercules transport planes, Python airto-air missiles, TOW anti-tank missiles, cluster bombs and other advanced weaponry to Iran for use in its war against Iraq. U.S. officials said the conspiracy was uncovered as part of a sophisticated U.S. "sting" operation, using an undercover Iranian agent identified as Cyrus Hashemi who was previously an arms buyer for the Iranian regime of'Ayatollah Khomeini. Hashemi had been arrested by the U.S. in 1984 and was ; believed to have cooperated with the authorities in uncovering this alleged conspiracy. After pleading not-guilty in 19S4, Hasehmi was allowed to remain free on bail. U.S. prosecutors said that Evans, the London lawyer, "acted as a broker who would bring buyers and sellers together for a finder's fee." They said that Baram and the Eisenbergs had promised that they could "deliver" the

arms. But Israeli officials insisted that the accused Israelis would never have been able to get thoee kinds of weapons out of Israel. U.S. officials tended to agree. The weapons were supposedly going to be shipped from Israel to Iran, using fake "end-user" documents indicating that they were actually going to TWkey and the Philimiines. The charges filed in the New York court said the lighter equipment was to be flown to Tabriz and the heavier arms to Bander el Abbas. But non eof the weaponry reached Iran. "The Iranians would have used these weapons to make war against their neighbors or to spread international terrorism against the free West," said William von Raab, the Customs Service Commissioner in New York. Neither von Raab nor Rudolph Giuliani, the U.S. Attorney in Manhattan, has accused the Israeli government of any involvement in the scheme. In fact, both have gone out of their way to point out that there was no evidence of Israeli complicity. Other U.S. officials in Washington have also avoided making any accusations against the Israeli government. Israeli officials noted that this low-key U.S. governmental posture helps to explain why the entire story has been so modestly covered in the American news media. "It was a 24-hour story," one Israeli official said, clearly relieved. The Israeli Ambassador in Washington, Meir Rosenne, denied any Israeli involvement during a meeting at the State Department with Under Se<;retary for Political Affairs Michael Armacost. RoseiiAe, accordingfto informed aources, said he was authorized to fully deny any Israeli governmental involvement. "Israel was not involved before, during or after," the sources quoted Rosenne as having said. A similar message was presented to the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv, the sources said. But still, Israeli officials have clearly been embarrassed by the arrest in Bermuda of Baram, 52 years old, and the two other Israeli citizens. From his jail in Bermuda, Baram telephoned the Israeli Embassy's military attache, Gen. Uri Simchoni, asking for assistance, Israeli sources in Washington said that this phone call should not be seen as representing any Israeli involvement in the alleged arms ring. Instead, they maintained, Baram simply pointed out that he did not know any lawyers in Bermuda who could help him and his Israeli associates.

The Pope's visit to ^ the Rome synagogue By Henry Siecnwii Euculivt dinctor of tha Anwrican Jiwiih Ctmfnm, and chunBan of UM CommiMion on lnUrreli(k>ia AITura of Ult World Jmriih ConfrM*

There are basically five major themes that have dominated the Catholic-Jewish relationship. These themes have also been the focus of the Catholic-Jewish dialogue since Vatican II. Significantly, each one of these themes played a role in Pope John Paul II's address during his historic visit to the Rome synagogue — either because of what he said or what he failed to say about it. The five themes are anti-Semitism, the Holocaust, the deicide charge, the Catholic view of Judaism as a religion and Vatican diplomatic ties with Israel. It is the last two issues — the question of the continuing religious validity of Judaism from a Catholic point of view and the establishment of formal diplomatic relations with Israel — that have in the past given John Paul II the greatest difficulty. His address in the Rome synagogue would indicate that they continue to do so. The Pope could not have been warmer and more forthcoming with respect to the first three issues. His condemnation of anti-Semitism in all of its manifestations, his evocation of the uniquely Jewish dimension of the horror of the Holocaust, and his repudiation of the theology that underlies the old deicide charge were more emphatic than any previous official Vatican pronouncement of these subjects. What he said with respect to these three important issues, and the manner in which he said it, lent weight and substances to the symbolism of his visit. It is therefore not to detract from the importance of Pope John Paul II's remarks to note that he seemed unable to deal as forthrightly with the last two of these five issues — the theological and the political. It came as no surprise to anyone that there was no reference at all to .the question of the Vatican's diplomatic relations with Israel. Vatican sources stated in advance that the pope would not address this issue. There was also nothing in his remarks that directly contradicted implications in his recent Lenten homilies that he believes Christianity to have fully replaced Judaism, leaving Judaism without religious (i.e. "salvific") value. A deliberate vagueness seemed to mark his comments on this point, thus enabling progressives within the Church to draw some comfort from his text — however inferentially — while not disappointing his conservative supporters. Given the Pope's own theological conservatism, this is hardly surprising. Those — both in the Catholic Church and in the Jewish community — who had hoped that the Pope would use this occasion to correct explicitly the regressive theology of Judaism that marked his Lenten homilies were surely disappointed.

Greetings to the Jewish communities abroad on Independence day, 1986-5746 Chaim Herzog PrMident of Israel

I

Friends, far and wide: Anniversaries by their very nature turn our thought* back to the journey traversed up to the date of celebration. This is perhaps particularly true of the Jewish people, exposed through the long centuries to the shifts of history and commanded to see itself in every generation as heir to those who left Egypt for the Holy Lilnd. So, too, on iu Independence Day the State of Israel remembers each year a history which, though short, is crowded with change and rich in development, a history at times tragic, often triumphant, always aspiring. It is the saga of the coming into being of a vibrant and creative state, a manysided national unit established by a Jewish population of 600,000 souls in 1948 and now home to over three and a half million. The very name of Israel, we remember, was born in Jacob's struggle, when it was ordained that his name be changed to Israel. The year just past has indeed been marked by struggle, in Israel and throughout the Jewish period. Anti-Semitism has made itself felt in many a country. The Jews of the Soviet Union, of Syria and Ethiopia, still find themselves behind barred doors. Jews in the free nations face the overwhelming threat of assimilation and engage in a complex and ardent effort to strengthen and expand Jewish education. Ovat Israel, as over the whole of the civilised world, hangs the threat of terrorism. It is one of Uie positive achievements of the year that the international conummity is beginning to think in terms of a unified and unintimidated effort to stem terrorism. In this Israel has demonstrated lesdeniap in coafironting the problem. I call on the Jewish people to affirm efforts to rehabitttate the counti^'s economy and its constant search for peace in tiw region, we must rededicate ourselves to the principles of equality and tolerance for all {aith* and people* enunciated in Israel's Declaration of Independence. Towards the end of the year a happy note was struck by the liberation of Anatoiy Scharansky from his long inhuman imprisonment. The hope that he may be fbllowed by many other prisoners of Zion, together with the hope for peace and harmony in Israel, for fruitful Jewish education in the world, for closer lihks between Jews everywhere and Israel, and aliya to it — with these hopes and with faith in the Bock of Israel, we face the 3Bth year of the State of Israel.

ShioioB Perea PriaiB MiaMer of Israel The journey of our people to spiritual and political rebirth in its own land has not all been paved with joy. This is th*. longest and most revolutioitary journey undertaken by any people, any time in the history of mankind. This is a journey which has not yet been completed. While we may perhaps already pronounce the benediction on deliveraiM:e, the time is not yet ripe to congratulate ourselves on a taak completed. This journey is not yet over, neither have all the controversies been resolved — firstly, between us here in Israel, and our brethren throughout the world. At the same time, we will continue to maintain the unity of the people — despite its pluralistic character — and will continue to strive to assemble all Jews, from all corners of the world, here in Israel. It is only in our historic homeland that we hove attained national freedom, selffiilfillment and true, unqualified pride and self-respect for evsiy Jaw: both as a humail being and as a Jew. We believe that the construct which ha^ been created here in braei in the last hundred years is not the sum total of declarations or of chance — but, rsther, the result of vision, hard work and stubborn priocipks. Those who remain true to the path af pragmatic Zionism know that this is the most humane course of action the world has ever known. The National Unity government — after'20 months in office — can, todqy, credit itaelf with impressive achievements in important areas of life. Tbe withdrawal of UM IDF from Lebanon served to consolidate our national security while safeguarding the lives of our soldier-sons. We saocesded in hatting ths inflationary q>iral which has threatened to sweep the national economy into the abyss. We are now on the threshold of a new sconomic momentum which will comprise the encouragtment of exports, the leplacemmt of impofts and a structural leorgmisation of the economy. On the political level, we ham bsoa(i>itsd th* gateway between Israel and Egypt and — deq>ite atteinpts to intimidata and terrorixe us — both countrie* remain resolved to deepen the ties between us as a prelude to a' comprehensive peace in the region. The HaslMmite King has, also, come a long w^y to meet tis on the road to the negotiating table while the PLO continues to prove that it is an obstacle to peace — as we have posUilated. The present government of Israel can siso pride itself on the fact that in its time internal tensions in the country bawhsen greatly reduced: between Ashkenaxim and Sephaidiu, between tMe different political parties, between religious and secular elnaenta, between Jews and Arabs.

Holocaust exhibit opens in NJHS museum An exhibit dedicated to the Nebraska survivors of the Holocaust and paying tribute to the memory of survivor Magda Fried is now open in the "Corridor of Jewish History" museum of the Nebraska Jewish Historical Society at the Jewish Community Center. The exhibit includes the names of the Nebraska survivors and memorabilia that has been loaned by them to the muaeum. Special exhibits are those on loan from Strategic Air Command of photos taken by American solidiers in Ger-

many, posters and photographs of the concentration camps and victims of the Holocaust on loan from the ADL/Community Relations office and the Jewish Federation Library of the Jewish Federation of Omaha. On display are such items as passports to the United States, books of drawings by concentration camp artists, yellow stars of David worn by the victims, money used at tbe Thriesenstadt concentration camp and other items

brought over by the susvivors. A special ssction of the exhibit is devoted to the Shanghai interment camp where 16,000 Jews were imprisoned during that period. The material was given to tbe museum by Wally Provost, former sports columnist for the Worid Herald. Provost was stationed in Japan daring tbe war. . The exhibit will be on dimliy until September when the film "Shoah" is shown in Omaha.

Bemie Friedkin, Nancy Piceau and George Colangelo with the amazing plant that grows and grows and grows — and doee other things too. The Little Shop of Horror* at the Firehouse Dinner Theatre is billed as a "hilarious and^adly entertaining comic feast that engulfs the audience in laughter".

Aneview It's a good description. Horrors is by far the funniest show that this reviewer has seen in Omaha in recent ipemoryl The comedy compels deep belly laughs rather than the usual polite giggling that one often encounters. A smash off-Broadway

hit, Horrora is a story of the bizarre events that occur at a Skid Row flower shop when an unusual plant grows and grows and grows. The entire cast does a superb job, but Don Richard, the deviant dentist, has to be singled out for an extraordinary performance. He also fills a variety of bit parts and his versatility is triple A. Little Shop of Horrora is probably Omaha's best bid for comedy show of the year, and if there's a ticket in your future — grab it. (MM)

Day School speaker In the spring of each year, the Jewish Day School hosts an open house for parents of the children attending the school and for prospective students. A feature of the open house is a presentation on Jewish education by a guest speaker. This year's visitor was Rabbi Philip Field, director of the Hynuui Brand Hebrew Academy in Kansas City. Rabbi Field stressed value education and said that attendance at a Jewish school ensured that the eUIdren would be supported and reinforced in their Jewish values. New parents were invited to tour the school by Jody Goldstein, director. Photo shows Rabbi Fields speaking to parents.

ADL director comments on Mayor's remarks

"We are gratified that Mayor Boyle found the strength to apologize for his unfortunate usage of a racial HUT concerning Uadcs," said Yitzak Santis, director of the Ami-Defamation Logue of B'nai B'rith/Community Relations Committee of the Jewfsh Federation of Omaha. '*Such language does not behoove the holder of high

public office who should be setting an example," he »id. "Mayor Boyle pubiically admitted that he called a black businessman a "professional nigger" in a private conversation at a Democratic party gathering last January. His comment was overheard by Brenda Warren-Council, former president of the Omaha Pub-

lic School Board, and a member of ttie board of the Urban League," according to Mr. Santis. "The goal of theADL is to diminish tlie level of prejudice in our society. Racial, religious and ethnic slurs, no matter their context, do not bekmg, in a pluralistic community, and I believe the Mayor understands this," Mr. Santis said.
