Fellman advises Jews 'to avoid extremists j^P By Morris Maline ^^^ Attorney Richard M. Fellman has some advice for Jewish voters in connection with, the 1986 elections. "Search for the middle, look for moderates," he advised, more than 100 members and guests of the Old Timers club meeting at Beth El Synagogue Tuesday. Mr. Fellman, a former Democratic candidate for Congress in the Se<,'ond Qongressional District, said that he Hlchard Fellman was concerned over the trend of extremism becoming mainstream in America politics. In' Nebraska, for example, he pointed to the emergence of fundamentalist Christians dominating the Republican county cpnven' tions in Lincoln and Omaha. • He said that in Michigan a few weeks ago both Vice President George Bush and Congressman Jack Kemp lost out to television evangelist Pat Robertson who preaches a system of right wing fundamentalism. Mr. Fellman said the Democrats have their own version in the form of Jesse Jackson who recently challenged Congressman Peter Rodino, "a long-time civil rights leader from Newark, N.J.," on, of all things, civil lights.

After they cut the wheat, they shared equally in the produce of the earth." The story goes on to say that the older brother worried that his brother had the responsibiUty of a family and he did not. He concluded his brother should get a greater share of the harvest. At midnight, he would bring a pile of wheat sheaves to his brother's field. At the saine time, the younger brother, worried that his older brother would grow old and have no children to care for him, began to bring piles of wlieat from his side of the field to his brother's field. This went on for several nights. "But on the third night when each brother was carrying a pile of sheoves to the other, thsy mat at the top of the hill. Sud- \ denly they understood.

Israeli Sccxjts in Omaha By Bert Lewis
Each summer, the Israeli Scout Friendship Caravan comes to the United States to work with American children to exchange social and cultural experiences. The Caravan is made up of Boy and Girl Scouts who are of high school age. The Scout Caravan will perform in Omaha on June 18, 7 p.m. in the Jewish Community Center Auditorium. The performance is free of charge. The Scouts will entertain with Israeli and Yiddish songs and dances as well as songs in English. A community reception will follow the performance. Before the performance, the Israeli Scouts will spend the day with the children at Camp Chaverim.
So often we hear somebody say "they sure don't make 8uch-and-8uch like they used to," and they can mean anything from doughnuts to movies. Frequently, I'm guilty of using that same expression, but there's one thing I KNOW is still as good as it used to be ... that, without argument, is Dad. I mean YOUR Dad, HIS Dad, HER Dad, MY Dad, everybody's Dad. He's still the one who can answer the question nobody else in the house can. He always loved to hold a little one on his lap and talk to that kid, one on one, and I think Dads today eiijoy that too. And even if today's kids must take Driver's Ed class, how many Dads continue to at least take the learner and the car to a quiet place and allow the "first time at the wheel" to be with him? Lots! Dad always was and still is the guy who has a ticket to the game, regardless of WHAT game; and he's still the man you can sit and just shmoos with. Off and on, at various times in one's life, it's typical to have completely diverse opinions on everything from politics to baseball. It's as though you and Uad simply could not agree; today it still holds true, though you may have noticed the older 'ii'OU get the LESS you disagree on the important issues! No, the more 1 think ofi^, the more I believe that no matter how movies are today, compared to the way they used to he, or how kosher salami doesn't begin to be as good as it was when you were a kid, you can be sure the Dad business is still a winner, Dads always were very important people and isn't it nice they still are? So many things and concepts go out of style, we really are lucky that a Dad can be counted on just like in the old days! I think one of the most rewarding fringe benefits of fatherhood is when his children are little and he finds out they think he knows KVERYTHING there is to know. 1 suspect little kids still enjoy that knowledge; so there's one more item that certainly still holds true. Mayl)e the Iwttom line is simply: a Dad is a Dad is a Dad. One of the moat important figures in the life of every Jennifer Row human being; one of the most valuable role models a child Jennifer Ross, violinist, can have; one of the best friends that aame child could ever daughter of Willis Ann and have ... you know what I mean ^ a great guy.

New York; "J<cob Wrestling with the Ancel," Toronto. Rapoport, who was bom in Warsaw in 1811,. began the study of sculpture at age 14 and went on to study at the Warsaw Academy of Arts and in France. Afte^ the Nazi invasion of Poland in 1939, he walked about 300 miles east until he met the retreating Polish army. Russians in Bialystok rescued Rapoport and he continued his art in Minsk. With the Nazi invasion of western Russia in 1941, Ra-
(continued from page 1) dropped their aheaves and embraced and eried with tears of gratitiide and happiness." It ia this poignant image Rapoport chose for his "Brotherhood of Man" sculpture. "Legend has it that on that very spot the Temple in Jerusalem was built, symbolizing peace and the brotherhood of man," the inscription reads. Most of Rapoport's 13 previoua monuments depicted themes of the Holocaust and redemption in Jewish history. One of the most noted Holocaust monuments, "The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising," completed in 1948 stands in Warsaw. Other Rapoport sculptures include "Job," at Yad Vashero; "Scroll of Fire" in the Judaean Hills; "Monument to the Six Million Jewish Martyrs," Philadelphia; "Memorial in Memory of the Jewish Children who Perished in the Holocaust,"
poport continued his sojourn at a labor camp in Siberia and then in Novosibersk where he learned of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. In 1943, he conceived the monument to the Warsaw Ghetto fighters. In 1948, the statue was unveiled on Zamenhoff Street where the resistance began and it remains on that site, today. Rapoport made aliya in 1948.

An interview with Elly WeJt
^
I • I fI ^ i I
By Susan Paley "A stunning and redemptive novel about the war in Berlin in the 19408 and the war in one man's soul as he comes to terms with his survival twenty years later" says Viking Press of former Omahan Elly Haykin Welt's new book Berlin Wild. "1 wrote the truth as I knew it, and happened to hit upon some universal truths along the way," commented Ms. Welt. "I don't consider this to be a book about the Holocaust. I wanted to write about Josef (the main character). After I Tinished the book, I read Bruno Bettelheim. I didn't know until then that 1 had captured the essence of survival mentality. My writinit comes out of pain. My father died when I was 28 years old. 1 began to write two weeks after he died. Josef comes to terms with his father's death just as I nnally did. People think that the book is about my husband, a German Jew who was sheltered during World War II in Berlin, but really, Josef is me. "I began to write Berlin Wild in 1973. By 1980, the characters just started to come to life. I flnished the book the first time in 1981, and sent it to my editor at Random House. He wanted to spice it up with more sex, etc. I was devastated. I sent the manuscript to my teacher, John Ciardi. He told me, 'Do it your way.' By the second time the book was finished, my agent actually auctioned off the rights to seven different publishers. I didn't think integrity really paid off, but it does." Elly Haykin Welt graduated from Om^ha CeQt;'C(l High School in 1953. She belonged to Beth El synr agdgue, and was a soloist in the choir, under the direction of Cantor Edgar. She began her college career at the University of Omaha, married, and moved to Sioux City, Iowa. In 1967, while raising three children, Michael, now 32, Robin, 30, and Harris, 24, she enrolled in a Shakespeare course at Morningside College in Sioux City. She subsequently graduated from the University of South Dakota with a master's degree in

"1 began to teach, and I knew that 1 was a writer, "Ms. Welt said. "I met Alex Haley (Roots) in 1971, who encouraged me to write. I enrolled in the Writer's Workshop at the University of Iowa and ultimately received doctorate degrees in both literature and creative writing* I was divorced by this time. 1 had enough money to live on for one year and three kids. I knew I could write, and was determined to do so. On June 21, 1973, friends introduced me to a (jerman physician named Dr. Peter Welt, and the rest is history!'-' Ms. Welt was born on January 1, 1939, in Omaha to Pauline Nogg Haykin, and the late Harry D. Haykin, "My father was a great scholar," Mr. Welt re.flected."He,was the intellect -Aitd'b^aliVfevgenlite ef' thle' . family. My .mother was our sitability. Life was books and words. Mr family was close and tight. "When I was nine years old, I noticed that all of my brothers were sent to Hebrew school, but that I was not. I told my father that I wished to attend, also, and I made the l^lmud 'Torah takeme into an already ongoing class. I learned Hebrew in two days. "I believe that the ethics of our people are so important. The passage 'Thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children ...' (Vey
ahafla, Deuteronomy) is the most important passage in the entire Torah. In looking back, I feel that this is the failure of our generation. I loved the intellectual at, mosphere and quality of Judaism in the synagogue when I grew up. There is no substance to Judaism today. When Jews get away from the Book (Torah), there is great assimilation. "I belive in day schools as a barrier to that assimilation. People think that day schools are segregated, but I think that's good. I was raised in a big family^in a sheltered atmosphere. It's the same thing ... The ethics of our people are so important. If more people would read the Torah, they wold find out how human people really are. "I am very interested in Divine inspiration. For my nei^ novel, I am researching the Catholic religion, as well as extensively studying about Moses. It will be about a Catholic girl and her relationship with a Jewish woman. I am also working on a little collection of correspondences that I ex-' changed with my teacher and friend, the late John Ciardi." In her spare time, Ms. Welt enjoys studying, swimming, and of course, writing. "I don't try to impress snybody. I'm a novelist. We look for the truth, and as long as I live, I'll be writing," concluded Ms. Welt.
Veteran's listing nears completion The listing of the Jewish veterans of World War 1 from the state of Nebraska and Council Bluffs, Iowa that the Nebraska Jewish Historical Society has been working on for the post nine months is almost completed. It is reprinted herewith for further corrections and additions which can be made by sending the names to the NJHS office, 333 So. 132nd Street, Omaha, Nebraska, 68154 or by calling the NJHS office, 334-8200, Ext. 270. Upon completion, hopefully this summer, the names will be placed on a plaque to be presented to the Jewish Federation of Omaha for display in the Jewish Community Center. This is the first time in the history of the Jews of Nebraska that such a list has been compiled for recognition by oil citixens of the state. OMABA vma*N8 L Alnlim, Al J.

earl aHpert 0' ©Mr umaiHi m nsrael When the kibbutzim began to take stock An open letter to the Austrian people By Abraham H. Foxman, a Holocaust survivor, and associate national director of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith Regardless of what the world thinks and regardless of what the world says, come June 8 you will elect — as Kurt Waldheim's cilmpaign poster stated — whomever you want as your President. But be assured that by the game power of logic, the world will think and judge your action the way it wants. Albeit a small country, Austria is at the crossroad of East and West. Therefore yours is an important country and the man who presides over it is an.important figure. Does the world really care whether the man you elect has an ugly past? Yes, it does! It does because Kurt Waldheim is a product of a nation whose recent history prohibits being forgetful or aloof. Adolf Hitler, an Austrian, was quoted as saying, "I came to Vienna as a 17-year-old man and I left as an absolute anti-Semite." Your count ry prodiiced ijOO thousand card-parrying meml)ers of the Nazi Harty, that means 10 percent of Austrians were Nazis (compared to seven percent in Germany.) Forty percent of the members of the Vienna Philharmonic thought they could not fiddle unless they belonged to the Nazi Party. . How can one Ibrget that 500 thousand Austrians gave a hysterical welcome to Hitler at the "Heroes Square" in Vienna — never in histoiy had so many Austrians assembled in one place. If the welcome was an innocent manifestation of joy and affect ion for a native son's homecoming, there was nothing joylul about subsequent events. There were 220 thousand Austrian Jews, burghers of Vienna, before Austria's enthusiasm for Hitler. There were 200 Austrian Jews by the time the war ended! One in a thousand was left! Compare this to the 400 thousand Jews who survived under Hitler's nose in Berlin because they were helped by non-Jewish Germans. There were Austrians who enjoyed watching Jews scrub the sidewalks of Vienna with toothbrushes. Vienna's perIbrmance during Kristallnacht made the event in .Berlin look like a pleasant Christmas celebration. Afcordi/jg to Simon Wiesenthal, Austria bears guilt for .some three million of the six million Jews killed by Hitler. That is 50 percent, yet your country constituted only onetenth of the population of Hitler's Third Reich. One does not have to go far back in history to see that all this did not happen by accident. In 1919, your Christian Socialist Chancellor Seipel called /(If a "divorce of Austria from the Jews." His colleague • Kun.schak (who in in 1945 became the first President of your Parliament) called for the deportation of all dews who came to Austria after 1914. And if this was not possible,, he suggested they be put in "refugee; camps." But, you cry, that's history. That happened ages ago. Yes, but you never admitted guilt; you never said sorry; you never recoiled in horror or told your youngsters that it .was Austrian Franz Novak, Adolf Eichmann's transport chief who organized deportation of 1.2 million Jews into gas chambers, that it was Austrian Odilo Globocnik who organized the destruction of Jews in Lublin, that it was Austrian Gustav Wachter who destroyed the Jews of Galizia, th^t the destruction of Dutch Jewry was directed by Erich Rajakowitsch of Graz, etc., etc. An accounting for these crimes (only an accounting; an undoing is impossible) would hive meant punishing 600 thousand Austrians. In reality 13 thousand were found guilty, less than one out of 40. And what happened to the rest? Until April of this year FPO (Free Party of Austria) chief Friedrich Peter, former SS Obersturmfuehrer, whose unit was involved in mass executions of Jews in Russia, was a prominent member of your Parliament. Former SA-sturmfuehrer Schrinzi, who came from Hitler's "most faithful county," Karnten (it produced 46 thousand Nazi Party members), was an independent presidential candidate in your last election. IVue, you did have a chancellor who was Jewish. Bruno ^reisky went to great lengths to conform to standards he *thought were necessary to be met. He called Jews "ein mieses Volk" (a miserable nation). Dear Austrian people, I hope you realize that ^t is not so much that the world's preoccupied with your presidential candidate and his poor memory but that the world wants to hear from you. It wants to hear an end to the lie that Austria was a victim of Hitler. One last word: Read German President Richard von Weizsacher's speech before his Parliament in May 1985. He talks about a nation's responsibility for its history and reminds us that, "Awareness of the past is not a burden,'but rather a liberation." This remains pertinent for todqy.
HAIFA — One of the truly remarkable achievements of the Zionist movement in Israel has been the creation of the kibbutz. The voluntary collective unit not only performed vital functions in preparing the way for the establishment of a secure state, but it has also set an example of dedicated idealism and pure socillism of the highest order. In recent years the question has many times been asked if the kibbutz has not outlived its usefulness, yet each time it has displayed E) resiliency and an ability to adapt itself successfully to changing conditions. Despite faults and weaknesses, the kibbutz has been a great success and will be so recorded In history. Has thdt success spoiled the kibbutz? Having gone through periods of austerity and sacrifice, most of the kibbutzim attained a relatively high level of prosperity. Diversification of their economic structure, and development of industry and high technology alongside agriculture, were the result of an enlightened awareness of changing conditions. But their very prosperity created problems which the kibbutzim sought to solve along the lines of the capitalism which they eschewed. The accumulation of large cash reserves, results of their successful operations, led them to seek investments for their capital, and the path to the Tel Aviv stock exchange was short. Where prudence shotatd have dictated preservation of the value of their funds through the purchase of stable bonds, the kibbutzmanagers were instead led to seek what the fathers of their movement 'would have called unearned profits. Investment suddenly became a third source of income for the kibbutzim, together with agriculture and industry, and before long all restraint and caution were swept aside.

In the past three or four years the kibbutzim, individually and collectively through their national organizations, suffered major financial reversals when the Israel stock market exacted its inexorable price from inexperienced speculators. What at first seen^ed like easy profits — easifer than milking cows, operating griest houses or growing cotton — was quickly turned into catastrophic losses. The kibbutz managers first burned their fingers early in 1983 with the collapse of their investment firm, RiegerFishman, but quickly regained their self-confidence and became heavy investors in Israel bank stocks. They were not the only victim when the bottom dropped aut of these in October of that year, but they should have been chastened. However the speculative fever was by now running high, and their remaining funds were sunk into stocks which promised rich returns. Harcj-eamed kibbutz income was also loaned out on the "gray market" at high rates of interest, with questionable financial characters serving as their middlemen. When one of them, David Blass, went broke, his debt to the kibbutzim was estimated at hundreds of millions of dollars. He is said to have "made good about $100,000,000 of his debt, but the payment has been mainly in securities. That was not the end. When the heads of their newest brokerage firm fled from Israel, the kibbutz movement was among the major creditors. The financial managers of Israel's proud sociahst creation had failed to heed warning signs of an impending default, and unlike other investors, wiser in capitalistic ways, failed to extricate themselves in time. The kibbutz movement is today staggering under the weight of vast loans which it has been compelled to take in order to stay afloat. The interest charges are almost unbearable. Who will come to their aid? The government of Israel, struggling to Jteep inflation in check by slashing its own budgets, has nevertheless found it necessary to advance a hundred million dollars to the kibbutzim in order to prevent an economic debacle. The end is not yet in sight. It's going to take a lot of cotton and cows and guest house customers to make up the heavy losses which the idealistic kibbutzim lost when they began to wander in capitalistic fields.

Rediscovering basic Jewish values By Frank Hornstein (Cof>ynckt int. JnrUh 'ftlHT^ihif A«nicy, Inc.)
Walter Zanger at Beit Alfa preparing for one of his discourses on "Hello Jerusalem." Walter Zanger, "Hfllo JeruBalem's" weekly tour guide, is still travelling throughout Israel taking his television audience to interesting sites and digs. The program airs weekly on Cox Cable 7, Sundays at 2 to 3 p.m., and Mondays, 7 to 8 p.m. Walter Zanger, besides being a tour guide, is also a Reform rabbi and writer. His articles on Israel's historical geography appear not only in the Jerusalem Post (a co-producer of "Hello Jerusalem") but also Israel Scene magazine. Brooklyn born, Mr. Zanger made aliyah to Israel 20 years ago and now lives in a Jerusalem suburb, Ein Kerem, with his wife and four children. "Television is a poor substitute for being here," said Mr. Zanger, "my print and tclevi.slon work are meant to encourage people to come and see Israel for themselves. For those, who are interested in coming to Israel and touring the country with a familiar face, Mr. Zanger is available for personal tours. After three years crisscrossing the country with "Hello Jerusalem." viewers, Mr. Zanger has compiled a
series of his television segments into half-hour home video cassettes. The first in the series features the Sea of Galilee and Jerusalem's Cardo. Anyone interested in the cassettes or learning how Mr. Zanger may be available for tours may write Kastel Communications, Inc., 11 West 25th Street, New York, New York 10010.
JUDAISM AND GLOBAL SURVIVAL By Dr. Richard R. Schwartz Vantage Press, New York. 1985 $7.95 (paperback) In a recent "60 Minutes" interview. Rabbi Meir Kahane stated that his Jewish critics would not know a Jewish concept if they tripped over it. Dr. Richard H. Schwartz's book, "Judaism and Global Survival," effectively destroy* that assertion. It does an excellent job of relating Jewish values and teachings to a wide range of contemporary issues such as peace and nuclear disarmament, ecology, hunger, energy, and population growth. The main theme of the book is that, to solve current problems, "we do not need to discover new values and approaches; what is needed is a rediscovery (and application) of basic Jewish teachings and mandates, such as to seek and pursue peace, to love our neighbors as ourselves, and to act as coworkers with God in protecting and preserving the world."
Bookreview Schwartz documents through many Biblical, IVdmudic, and modern religious quotes that Judaism teaches that the highest form of religious expression involves taking an active role in improving social anj} economic conditions in the world. He argues that "Judaism stresses involvement, nonconformity, resistance to oppression, and a constant struggle against idolatry." The beauty and power of Schwartz's book is his ability to connect Jewish teachings to the dozen contemporary issues he deals with in the book. For example, he sliows how bal tashchit, the Biblical mandate not to waste unnecessarily destroy anything of value, can be,applied to current problems such ais pollution, resource scarcity, and hunger. He eff^tively contends, using traditional Jewish

sources for support, that Jewish values point to CARE (conservation and renewable energy) as a solution to the energy crisis, and NIEO (a new international economic order) to reduce global poverty. He introduces the concept of ZPG (zero population growth) as a means of working for both Jewish survival and global survival. Schwartz's ability to make connections between seemingly disparate issues derives, in part, from his training in engineering and mathematics. His unique course, "Mathematics and the Environment," uses basic mathematical concepts and problems to help make students aware of current critical issues. His first book, "Mathematics and Global Survival" is used as a text for the course. Through teaching this course and doing research for the bpok, Schwartz became keenly aware of the many threats to our planet and dedicated his efforts to informing others about them. Schwartz's long-held belief that Judaism has important things to say about current issues led to his first book, "Judaism and Vegetarianism," which was published in 1962. In this book, he forcefully and effectively asserts that Jewish mandates to be compassionate to animals, preserve our health, share with hungry people, protect the environment, conserve resources, and pursue peace are moat consistent with a vegetarian diet. "Judaism and Global Survival" is eq)eciaUy timely because of the recent rife in prominence of Jewish neo-conservative and fiindamentalist thinkers. Schwartz's book reclaims the Jewish traditional emphasis on compassion, equality, peace, and justice. His well-documented and relevant book points the way toward the application of the Jewish tradition toward a safer, saner, more just world. It is hoped that it will be read by many, non-Jews as well as Jews, for its shows how Judaism provides a universal message that can help move the world away from its pieisent path to oblivion.

Tel Anatoiy ycxi have heard about his famiy and you are conoemed ... "This," laid Rcfusenik Anatoiy Genis, with a sweep of hii arm, "ii not what I expected for my children." The "this" that Anatoiy referred to was the disrepair of his family's apartment and life since the first time he applied for an exit visa over nine years ago. Their situation has worsened considerably during the past year, and the poverty and poor health in which the family lives was confirmed by recent visitors from Houston. When Dr. Genis first applied for emigration, he lost his job as a mathematician specializing in the field of probability. He was able to find odd jobs as a loader, watchman, street sweeper, fireman, zoo watchman, freight car conductor and a janitor in the Moscow subway system. The family is barely surviving the trials of Refiisenik life and is suffering from stress-related illnesses. Galia Genis, 42, had a difficult pregnancy with Stephen, born in 1984, developed toxinosis, and has been in a debilitating post partum depression since the baby's birth. Peter, 18, has Cushing's Disease and hypothalamic syndrome, compounded by hypertension, ulcers and a severe stutter. The baby was Allergic to milk for the first year and required a special formula which Anatoiy could not obtain. Seva, 13, who-is musically talented, has been denied admission to the music and performing arts school because he is the child of Rufuseniks. As of last June, Anatoiy was out of work once again. At last report, he had not been able to find new employment. The family is destitute. They asli only that those who can, please pressure for their emigration to join the rest of their family already in Israel.
J RICE-KRA8NE Mr. and Mrs. David S. Rice have announced the engagement of their daughter, Edye Sue, to Howard Neal Krasne, son of Mr. and Mrs. Abe Krasne of Fremont. The future bride, a graduate of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, is a supervisor at Cox Cable Omaha. Her fiance, who attended the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, is employed at Abe Krasne Home Furnishings in Fremont. A Sept. 28 wedding is planned at Beth El Synag9gue.
.A A Geniza ceremony, which pertains to the burial of all used sacred objects, will be held on June 22, according to the Ritual committee of Beth Israel Synagogue. Over the years, worn out and no longer usable prayer books and Bibles, Taleism and Tefillin, and other sacred articles, have accumulated in the Beth Israel store room. These will be buried at the B.H.H. Cemetery on June 22 at noon, in keeping with Jewish religious requirement. The same reverence is shown to the sacred articles that are po longer usable as is shown to the hu-
dies man body when it dies. They are not discarded or disposed of in an irreverent manner, but are given the same final rites as are provided for the passing of loved onesi. A special service is being prepared for this evenl by Rabbi Isaac Nadoff and Cantor Leo Fettman. The service is open to all. Individuals who have old, no longer usable sacred articles in their home may bring them in cartons to the cemetery on the day when the Geniza ceremony will be held.
CORRECTION A mechanical error in typesetting last week's paper resulted in an omission of some copy from ttie story on the Federation Board of Directors' meeting. The paragraph in question should have read as follows: In other action, the Federation's Board of Directors approved an expenditure of up to $22,000 for a computer system to monitor heating and air conditioning systems at the Jewish Community Campus.
