ADLyCRC approves farm crisis task force concept A farm crisU task force of the Jewiih Communitiea of Nebraska is now in the process of formation. On Monday, the Board of Directors of ADL/CRC unan-" imously approved a proposal offered by Yitzak Santis, executive director, ADL/CRC and director of ADL's Plains I States Region. The proposal calls for the task force to act 'as a central clearing house for the implementation of a plan encompassing community relations and social and human welfare agencies. The two-pronged approach was described as follows: Commnnlty RelatktiM "We need to intensify our already existinl efforts of outreach to specific groups in order to cooperatively confront the activities of the extremists operating in our region. These groups include elected officials, farm associations, media throughout our region, Christian clergy, and Christian rural associations and support agencies. Through these and other contacts we can channel our educational programs to confront anti-Jewish stereotypes •and expose the extremists. Those Jews who are themselves farmers or involved in related industries and are active in the Jewish community : should be utilized for their insight of and contacts within the farming community."

Mr. Goldberg is a past general chairman Manny Goldberg Of Israel Bonds, past vice president of Beth Israal,Synagpgue and currently is the president of Beth Israel Synagogue.

"Since April of this year Tbersa Korth, a thera|li*t for the Jewish Family Service of the Jewish federation of Omaha, has been making weekly trips every Wednesday to the Nebraska Farm Crisis Network of Inter Church Ministries of Nebraska in WaHhiil. She and JtS Director Glen Fineman have pinpointed seven areas where they should concentrate their resources. These ate: Establishment of support groups, training of field staff (out of Walthill), direct service to individuals and families, crisis intervention teams, review and update of materials prepared for paraprofessionals and farmers, handling hotKne calls, involvement of and network^ig with other mental health professionals in the area. "For this prfiject the JFS has obtained |4,S00 in special private donations found through the special efforts of the Federation's leadership and staff. Not only is this a good stUrt, but the benefits have already begun to be seen in terms of helping alleviate the human suffering of the crisis. "Further Ms. Korth has reported the appreciation of the Farm Crisis Network workers for the Jewish community's support, as well as the positive reaction of individual farmers that she is there to help because of the concern of the Jews of Omaha. "That sort of visibility of the Jewish community has a great impact on the perception of Jews by isolated rural inhabitants. Finally, in te^tH'Cff our ongoing.efforts in exposing and understanding hii^'the'extremists operate, Ms. Korth has reported the story of a fanner who was approached by extremists to join them. "The farmer'rejected them, but this incident gives us broader insight into the methods employed by the extremists operating here in our own backyards. "The Task Force will be comprised of the interested leadership of Nebraska Jewish communities."

The Omaha Gommunity for Soviet Jewry wants to do everything we can to make your letter writing as eaay and as convenient as possible. We think the idea of placing a bright RED Mailbox in the entry way to the JCC, so that we can collect and send your letters, would indeed make your letter-writing uncomplicated and simple. This way, we can make sure that your letters are sent by registered, return-receipt postage by us ad at our expense. (Unfortunately, this precaution ia prudent as insurance for the proper delivery of letters written to those seeking emigration from Russia.) Guideline* for writing Ruaaian Refuaenika • Write in English unless you know the country's native tongue. • Send letters, notes, postcards, booltmarlcs, holiday greeting carda. Family pictures are especially appreciated and do include them if you wish. Ask for a picture of their family in return. • Make your letters warm, personal, casual and friendly. Write juat a« you would to aomeone in your own family. Tell them about your family, your job or studies, travels, hobbies and anything else you can think of that will help them get to know you. • You may sign your letters with religious greetings such as "SHALOM" to let them know you are Jewish. • We also recommend you number your letter at the top of the page. This way, the family can let you know they received letter #2, for example, but not letter #1. Keeping a photo-copy of your letters will help you keep track of who you have written, and how often. ' • Once you have written and addreaaed your letter by hand (don't type), drop it in the JCC mailbox and continue to write. You may be the family's only tie with the outside world. We will take care of the rest. . AVOID • mentioning names of religious organitations. • Do not include political criticism of the USSR or the government of the satellite country, or anything provocative or accusatory about Russia. And above all do not indicate in any way that you wish the person were free or that you are seeking his or her release. • Avoid mentioning Israel in your first letters to Jewish people, unless you are sure your letters get through. Instead, refer to the "Homeland," or the "land where it is warm", or the "place where we hope to meet someday."

Magic Theatre offers Sleazing Toward Athens By MargD Hackal J«viBh Pre« aUtt Why aren't college students asking deep, intellectual, ptobing questions anymore? Aren't they interested in stimulating the mind and engaging increative, contemplative discussion? Has the educational process changed, or is it the students' values that have changed? Or both?

The play is aet on a coUaft campus and explores the materialistic values of tod«y that Ms. Terry has noticed during her visits to many colleges and universities in recent years. She saw an unwillingnees of students to disagree with her in discussions and found it increasingly difficult to spark lively debate and questioning — except for questions about "the quickest road or success," or "how to get a break," or "where the big money is." From her observations of college life, Ms. Terry developed Sleazing Toward Athens because she had concerns about the way in which heavy emphasis on

This is as good a time as any to announce Synagogue Appreciation Week. No, SAW has not been proclaimed by the president, governor, nor even the mayor or city council. SAW is being proclaimed only in this column as a means of drawing attention to the extraordinary synagogues in this area. , The idea presented itself during my reading of an article in the summer issue of Inside magazine, a quarterly publication of the Federation of Jewish Agencies of Philadelphia. Written by Howard Shapiro, an editor at The Philadelphia Inquirer, and titled, Where Have All the Members Gone?, the article discusses synagogue membership in the Philadelphia area. A fancy illustration accompanying the article graphically gives many of the reasons that survey respondents gave for not belonging to synagogue. Some of the reasons: no children of school age, costs too much, just moved to area, only attended on High Holidays, too difficult to get there, ho one in family attends, just not interested, don't like organized religion. The article stated that of the Philadelphia area's 256,000 Jews, only 41 per cent are members of synagogues or temples which means that almost 60 per cent are unaffiliated. And this lack of affiliation apparently is not confined to Philadelphia. The article points out that similar figures hold for Los Angeles, Miami, Washington and New York. O.K. — so what's the situation in Omaha? The best guess is that affiliation in the Omaha area •is much higher, but the exact figure won't be known for a few.months." At that time, a demographic study will answer the question of Omaha affiliation with a great degree of certainty. And we fully expect that the affiliation percentage in Omaha will be quite high in comparison with the major Jewish population centers of our nation. Thus, this writer's announcement of Synagogue Appreciation Week, is designed to call attention to this community's fine synagogues and stress the importance of their well-being. The modern synagogue, Mr. Shapiro wrote, "... is a 5,000 yeaivold link to an ark and a people roaming the wilderness, the vestige of a Temple so dominate that its destruction "heralded the dispersal of an entire culture." Strong, viable synagogues are crucial to the vitality of a modern Jewish community. Omahans appreciate their synagogues and in case some need a special week to show it, this is the week.

To the Editor f am shocked, saddened, surpriied and disappointed! Why wasn't the Flag of the United St^ites of America flying from the flagpole in front of the Jewish Community Center on Memorial Day? Whoever is responsible for this blantant oversight owes an apology to the Jewish Community Center, the Omaha community at large and especially to all veterans. Seymour Goldaton To the Editor: Another World is the name of a soap opera that I never quite understood until Irv and 1 spent the past winter months in a real ANDERE VELT — Miami, Florida. Our son, Alan, dubbed it "New York South" and it was "tahke" reminiscent of Brooklyn where Irv was born, and Gotham City where we lived during the immediate years after WWII. Like all snowbirds we visited Epcot, the Everglades, Viszcaya, and the Keys. We spent afternoons at the beach when the natives said it was too cool. We went to Rascal House more than once standing in line for the goodies. The appetizer stores with their variety of herrings and smoked fish made us drool as did the bakeries with their fragrant wares from combreads, onion rolls to their cheesecakes and rugelach. The kosher delis, butcher shops and catering services overwhelmed us. or course Miami had a Loehmann's and its equally famous "Schmateh Road" (or is it Row?) I do believe nothing is sold at the retail level. There are liquidation centers, discount houses and wholesale outlet stores. There are so many malls found in every other block, the rumor is the next mall being built is going to be named, "Noch-a-Mall". The ladies are a sight to behold — the ziben-chicks and even the och-chicks — as they wear tight pants tapered at the ankles, namboyantly-colored blouses, high heels, carefully coiffed hair, and are bedecked with jewelry. Then tbere is the phenomenon unique to Florida — the "early bird" crunch. From 4:30 p.m. to about 6 p.m., restaurants offer $2 to $3 off the entree price, and include dessert and coffee. Would you believe we ate dinner more than once at 4:30: We also saw many Omaha look-a-likes ala Bert Lewis' experiences but we never saw a Bert Lewis. We had such a good time and felt so good, we succumbed and bought a condo. When that was accomplished, I needed a sense of the real world, so we visited the Michael and Ann Russell J.C.C. which has a membership of 2500 people. When I told them I wanted to be a volunteer when we moved to Florida, Irv and I were given the red carpet treatment. We enjoyed a delightful tour; the grounds, the buildings, the facilities are great BUT our J.C.C. beads the list in its lay-out. •-..•. Heading the list is our bargain membership rates. It wllf cost us double in Miami. The physical set-up with our Library, Livingston Plaza, Jewish Press, and the Rose Blumkin Home encompassing our staff, LOVE, Young-atHeart and all the devoted volunteers is unique and incomparable. Our facilities are equal to the Miami J.C.C. DO NOT TAKE OUR J.C.C. FOR GRANTED. We are leaving our J.C.C. and will be in an andere velt. Make the J.C.C. your real world. It is a treasure. This is our way of saying goodbye to a community we lave, especially the Jewish Community. . Irv and Cele Blank To the Editor: From June 15 to June 19, Combelt Region BBYO will host BBYO Chapters from Kansas City and St« Louis for Spring Regional Convention '86. One of the programs we will be holding requires k large amount of old newspaper. Therefore, we are asking members of the Omiha Jewish Community to bring all their old newspapers to the BBYO office at the JCC from now until June 14. If you hove aiiy questions, please call me at 334-8200, Ext. 236. Thank you very much! David M. Cohen Combelt BBYO Snmmer Intern To the Editor: On June 6, 7, and 8, (Friday-Sunday) I will be in Lincoln to attend the 50th Anniversary of my Lincoln High School Graduating Class of 1936. With my wife Gloria, I will be suying at Villager Inn at 5200 East "O" Street. I am writing you because of my fond memories of the Omaha Jewish Press — back to the 'SOs — when Mary Atbitman was the editor. I believe there is a newsworthy "Jewish angle" to the L.H.S. 50th reunion. The Jewish graduates were manifold and I am listing them as exhibit to this letter (in alphabetical order). 1936 was the first time both of the Senior Baccalaureate speakers were Jewish. Selma Hill and myself — Samuel M. Kirshenbaum (now Kirbens). Selma Hill married RobertCohen (of Omaha) and is now living in Denver. I matiried Gloria Biirns (of Denver and am in Denver only ibr the summer months— as I have retired in Laguna Hills, California. Also — now living in Denver ia Elaine Abrams — who married William Clearfield (of Chicago). All the spouses are Jewish. Elaine Abrams' parents were Abe and Annie Abrams. Abe Abrams operated the Milwaukee Delicatessen on "O" Street in Lindbjb."rhe Several Abrams brothers owned the Chicago Bakeiy^ on North 24th Street in Oiaaha. 8«lm«jpi's parents lireie Daniel and Ida HiD.

I have not told Elaine or Selma 1 am writing you this letter. I know that Elaine is attending the reunion and assume Selma is. Elaine will also be staying at The villager Inn. Elaine is a journalist-writer and an excellent source of Nebraska Jewish nostalgia. Her Denver phone is (303) 3337266. Selma's Denver |^ne is (303) 756-1875. Only thing I might add is that I am the only judge to have won the American Bar Association Ross Essay (the "Pulitzer prize" of the legal profession) in its 50-^ years. Sam Kirbens LHS CLASS OF 1936 Elaine Abrams, Bernard Berlowitz, Dorothy Diamond, Rose Gold, Philip Goldstein, Bessie Grossman, Arthur Earl Hill, Rose Mary Hill, Selma Hill. Also, Samuel M. Kirshenbaum (Kirbens), Joseph Schwartzman, Oscar Shev, Harold (Harry) Singer, Sylvia Wolf. To the Editor: Please accept my thanks for the especially kind article regarding the forthcoming move which, God willing, my family and I will make this summer. We will always feel extremely close to the entire Omaha community and we are honored by the many people who have ac<^ted us as frieiids and have truly made this great city our home. IVo details in last week's article seem worthy of clsrification. Though my wife, Susan, will be completing her medical degree at the University of Nebraska, she will be a visiting medical student for much of the coming year in ('onnecticut. Further, the grant from the University of Nebraska Foundation was co-authored with Harry Allen, director of Institutional Research and Planning at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and then Professor Ivan Volgyes, now at Rutgers University. The fiinds were utilized to allow internationally known scholars of the Holocaust to participate in a widely attended course which was conducted at Lincoln and Omaha by Professor Volgyes and inyself. Again, please permit me to expi'ess the gratitude of my family and myself for the consistently sensitive reporting which characterizes the Jewish Press and truly enriches our community.

YitnkSantia Director, Plains, States Region, ADL James Abourezk, the erstwhile leader of the Arab-American Anti-Discrimination Committee, has a problem. Ever since the United States has become the target of Middle Eastern terrorism he has been criss-crossing the country • telling everybody that the "root cause" of the terrorism is the "homelessness" and "frustration" of the Palestinian Arabs who, along with the whole Arab worid, see the U.S: as a supporter of Israel. On the other hand he is upset by the media's focusing of attention on "Arab" terrorists plus what he calls "Arab-bashing" by the American media and public. Anti-Arab discrimination and assaults is s problem which should concern all Americans. Our society will not be a just one unless all of its memlwrs are &«e from radical, ethnic or reUgious abuse. Unfortunately, what Mr. Abourezk wants is to be able to have his cake and eat it too. There is an internal contradiction in his stand which he has yet to explain. If indeed the Palestinian Arab issue is the root cause of terrorism in the Middle East and Europe, and the media focuses its attention on this terrorism than how tan he assert that the media imjuatly focuses on Arab terrorists? l^rrorism is designed by the terrorists to be a media event, as a form of political expression aimed at getting people to talk about the "grievances" of one group or another. After all, you don't shoot-up airports for reasons of convertness. All Arabs, to be sure, are not terrorists and infact many Arabs are the victims of terrorism. Yet, Mr. Abourexk certainly has to be aware that Arab terrorism te a major problem in the world today, and most of this terrorism is not underpinned by the Arab-Israeli conflict, or the Palestinian issue. ' In the Middle East terrorism is the result of the endemic conflicts of that area: between modernists and traditionalists; secularists against;nilitant hmdomentalists; the very rich against the very poor; EaA afoiAst West; Aratw against Arabs (Jordan and Syria; Syria and Iraq; Libya and every body; Morocco and Algeria; die PLO against itself, etc.) and the six-year old Iran-Iraq war which has divided the Arab worid with Syria ajtd Libya supporting non-Arab Iran against Arab Iraq. Also we should not forget that more peo|iU have died in fratriiailbl tanokilt attacks in Lebanon (car bombs left in crowded cMSin sections of Beirut for exanpla) thm in Europe and Isriwl combined Mr. Ahouflid's complaiatiilagitiiaata in port: we shouk) wK stanp^typa Arabs, Naverth^taaa ;Mnarisni paipatratod by non-ffateOniad AnAM>«iti|jd£«|MttaorMi and trainod hx.a vuieor of Arab itatss is ii' gfitjor praUam which does not bivs anything to do with the U.S.-Ilrael relationship nor with the Palestinian^. Let's not Arab-hash, but let's hot fool oursehres either.

NumtierB, where our present Sidrah is. So much of Torah in the midemess? Rabbi Adler went on to say that we are often in despair about life, fhiitntad by plans gohe awry, berMvement, failures, dashed hopes. All of us suffer this kind of thing, some more, some less. But it is in this desert of despondency ttiat we can meet God if we are willing to see and to feel and to listen. Impression may lead to resolve, to creativity, to accomplishment. Nor should we overlook the penetrating remark the Midraafa malies aixHit the wilciemess. Of ail places to meet God! Of ail places for the Torah to be given to mankind! Yes, the Midrash siiys, no place better: for here no one is master except the Master Teacher Himself The wilderness land beloivgs to no one. It is literally a noman's land. All the world may come and take. Torah is for everyone. God's gifts are for all ntankind together. Even the Children of Israel, to whom Torah was entrusted and who look upon Torah as their heritage, may not claim it as their own exclusively. It belongs to mankind, for all share equally in God's love. In the wilderness there is a sense of isolation and aloneness, a sense of separation and freedom from human cares and everyday ebncems. Here the thinker, here the prophe^ here the religioiis soul may contemplate eternal and ultimate concerns. Here the voice of God is not interrupted by the screech of human sounds and civilization's turmoil. Yes, in the wilderness, the surroundings of Nature itself and only itself, God spoke to Moses and all mankind.

Paraahat B'Midbar Where to find GMI The famous 139th Pialm reminds us that we are always in God's presence: "Where can I escape from Your spirit?/ Where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend to heaven. You are there;/ if I descend to Sheol, You are there too. IF I take wing with the dawn. ..." Jonah, the reluctant ptophet, found that out when he took ship from Jaffa to Tarshish.He thought to escape the Lord's commission. But the raging sea-storm brought him back to land and to his duty. Our Sidrah reminds us, too, that the Lord's presence is always about us. The late Rabbi Morris Adler, reading the opening veise of our Sidrah, about the Lord speaking to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, exclaimed: "What a place to meet God!" God is in the wilderne$8? In the desert? Yes, there too. It well behooves us to remember the Torah narrative: The Torah was given to Israel (as we" will remind ourselt/es again immediately, on Shavuot!) in the wilderness. Sinai was not at the confluence of two great rivers iior at the intersection of two great ancient commercial highways. Sinai was the desert, a no-man's land. Even now, if one visits the traditional (but unlikely) site of Mt. Sinai, he . fmds himself near no great cities, near no centers of civilization. He is in an area of rocks and crags and sand. Was this the place to meet God? Note, further, that the Biblical narrative assumes that Israel stayed at Sinai during all of the accounts of the end of the Book of Exodus, all of Leviticus, and a good part of the Book of

What does the "cat's pajama'i" have in common with charitable giving? A GIFT OF LIFE INSURANCE - THATS WHAT Could be the greatest discovery aince Chopped Liver. Would you believe the use of life insurance policies for charitable giving is often overlooked by donors. Give up all rights of ownership in the policy, name a charity as beneficiary, and the end result could be a subatantial income tax deduction. It is that simple. Let me tell you the story of a widow who owned a paidup (no more premiums to pay) policy on her life. This lady had a real interest in the programs of one of our agencies and wanted to create a fund, dnrloK her lifetime, whereby the income from invested principal would always be available for agency use. She had determined ^here was no reason to maintain the life insurance death benefit on ber life to benefit surviving heirs. The policy was gifted to the Federation and the received an income tax deduction. The Federation, in turn, surrendered the policy ibr its cash value and created a huid as per the widow's wishes. . Want to make certain your Campaign contribution continues forever? If you are presently making annual gifts to the Campaign in the amount of $1,000, why not consider the purchase of a life insurance policy which would pay $10,000 at the time of your death. Assuming a 10% rate of return on the principal sum, income in the amount of $1,000 would be available each year to the Federation without the necessity of ever touching principal. Premiums paid on the policy during your lifetime would be income tax deductible. Think for a moment about your group life insurance, a fringe benefit enjoyed by many persons. Your employer pays premiums and obtains an income tax deduction on the amount of his contributions. You pay no income tax on payments made by your employer for coverage up to and including $50,000. The cost for any coverage over and above $50,000 provided by an employer is taxable income to the employee. By naming the Federation as sole beneficiary of the insurance coverage in exceM of $50,000, you eliminate any income Ux liability because NO INCOME IS REALIZED and you could potentially make a significant charitable contribution.
Next gathefing June 10. At the May 27 earlyblrds, Sam eind Art Grossman offered their subjects amid opinions from the floor. Read was Norm Wohlner's PULSE item on the Saudis. Are they really "friendly?" Also discussed were the isolation of Libya, terrorism, and money for charity. At lunch Dan Greenfield and Al Oruch served superbly, along with Mollie's gala, (Mollie was with the TorontOfbound group). Motzi was by Keith Peltz and Benschen by the Shamus emeritus, Harry Schulman. There was a welcome back for Irv Jangpr, Herb Goldsten, and Ralph Nogg. One hospitalization. Lew Ellis. GH well, Lew. Guests of Sam Rosenstein were wife, Ethel, and Sylvia and Harry Rosenstein from Highland Park, III. Also, Steve Katzman, son of May nard, plus Doctor Ted Marcus, a friend of Minette and Morrie Katz's son. V.P. Sam presented guest speaker, Sol Parsow, of Parsow's emporium in Regency. (We all know his wife, Lee Jane, a beloved of the LOVE group.) Sol spoke of his two trips to Russia and the travails of our people. What they are going through saddens us. Let's end it on a happy
thought. When your reporter was in Carmel last time, I couldn't eat ice cream out in the open. The new Mayor, Clint, has changed all this. Now, when you go out there, Clint will meet you out in the open and say, "Make my sundae, punk." The next meeting it June 10 at Beth El Synagogue.
