New Center director assumes Omaha duties
^H' By Morris Maline ^^When Jeffrey L. Aizenberg aettled into his new position this month as executive director of the Jewish Community Center, he could very well have had messages waiting for him. There could have been a call from sister \ Judi, or brother-in-law Shelly Lemer, or their children, Jody and Justin. Or, there could have been a call from Uncle Irv and Aunt Faye (Gendler). "The calls would have been local because the relatives above reside in Omaha. And Sioux City, Mr. Aizenberg's birthplace and the home of his parents, Hannah and Morris, is not that far away either.

PLO uses airport shops to pass weapons, money JERUSALEM (JTA) -Binyamin Netanyahu, Isrod's Ambassador to the United Nations, claimed that the Palestine Liberation Organization uses duty-free shops and stands at several European airports to pass along weapons, explosives, money and documents to terrorists for attacks on civil aviation. Netanyahu made the charge in an interview published in Maariv. He said terrorists made use of the PLO facilities without haying to pass through security checks. He did
Holocaust Council plans Nebraska dinner, Sept. 27 By Morris Maline The Nebraska state dinner for the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum will take place Sept. 27 at the Joslyn Art Museum. "The dinner will be the highUght of the Nebraska fundraising campaign, one of scores of campaigns across the United States," said Mickey Sturm, volunteer director. Governor Robert Kerrey is honorary chairman of A Campaign to Remember and Eugene Conley and Harlan Noddle are steering committee co-chairmen. In 1980, Congress established the United States Holocaust Memorial Council to establish the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. By law, all funds necessary to construct the Museum must be contributed by private sources. President Ronald Reagan is honorary chairman of the Campaign. The goal for the Museum is $100 million, and according to Mrs. Sturm, most of the
States already have organized volunteer committees to encourage participation. Plans are underway to organize the Nebraska dinner committee. Assisting as Nebraska coordinator is Jancy Campbell. The Museum, they said, is b^ng dedgned to be a world center of study to integrate the roles of remembrance, teaching, and docimienting both hi8t(»y and human response. Commemoration, bearing witness, educa- tion and research each will be expressed in separate halls, permanent and changing exhibit areas, and information resources. These resources, by virtue of their electronic formats, will be readily accessible to visitors, schdars, colleges, schools, and homes throughout the United States and abroad. The site of the Museum, on Federal land, is located between 14th and 15th streets, in the shadow of the Washington Monument and close to the Smithsonian and other museums on the Mall.

He said there has been a parallel improvement in airline security and that U.S. airlines were approaching Israel for help to improve security measures. Netanyahu said the Western nations are beginning to understand that civil airlines are a link between all countries "and when the terrorist virus infiltrates one of them, it endangers all the airlines."

Hebrew classes taught at Beijing University

BEIJING, China. (JTA) — The Department of Oriental Languages of Beijing University. China's premier institution here at the national capital, offers Japanese. Korean, Burmese. Thai, Mongolian. Arabic— and now. Modem Hebrew. When the Ministry of Culture decided that Ivrit would be studied, some of the Chinese teachers of Arabic were expected to teach Hebrew also. They had compiled a Chinese-English-Hebrew dictionary by cutting apart the columns of Reuben Alcalay's Hebrew-English dictionary, adding a column of Chinese characters, and photo-duplicating a dozen copies which were then bound in black cloth. For some reason, though, an American was employed to inaugurate Hebrew-language instruction in the People's Republic of China (PRC). Michael Mann, a recent graduate of Princeton University where he majored in chemistry, had signed up to teach English for a year at Beijing Univer

They are enrolled in a five-year university program. Aftor they mastor Hebrew, they will study Jewish history, modem Hebrew literature, Judaism and related matters for 12 hours a week, plus eight hours of other subjects. Kita Alef uses BeAl Pe. a standard Hebrew teaching text and workbook. Each student has taken a Hebrew name—Chana. Dan. Dinah. Gershom, Moshe, Shula, Tsiporah, Uzi, Yitzhak and Yosef. They recite — reading aloud or practicing the dialogue of their textbook— shyly, giggling at their mistakes. Mann translates new vocabulary into English, which some of his students studied for as many as eight years before entering the tmiversity. In class, however, he speaks mainly in Hebrew, using the Ivrit bdvrit method widely em-
ployed in Israel and elsewhere. Mann knows only a little Chinese. Words he cannot explain are looked up in the makeshift Chinese-Engliah-Hebrew dictionary. The Hebrew class meets in a small, bare room lacking the maps of Israel, posters and alphabet charts that typically adorn Hebrew classrooms elsewhere. When I visited. Kita Alef was learning about Israeli pastimes—kadoor regal, kadoor basis, hakobioa, hateatron. football, baseball, the cinema, the theater. Musica was discussed intensively, each student teHing in Hebrew what he or she prefers to hear—"pop. classi, symphonit." Mann praised every utterance, frequently exclaiming nachon, CMrect; and tov meod. very good. Considerable "positive reinforcement" of this kind is a hallmark of Israeli ulpan teaching. Four years from now, the graduates of Kita Alef will be assigned jobs by the Chinese government.

When university officials learned that he was a graduate of the SAR Hebrew day schod in The Bronx, New York, and the Ramaz Hebrew high school in Manhattan, they decided he would teach their first class in Ivrit. When they told him, only two weelcs before he was due to leave for China. Mann stuffed some World Zionist Organization teaching materials in his flight bag. He had never taught Hebrew, or anything else, until he went to China. At Beijing University, Kita Alef, the beginners' class, started with 10 students. Although most were assigned to Kita Alef. a few asked to study Ivrit. One young woman came to Kita Alef knowing some Biblical Hebrew. She told Mann she had been taught by an old Chinese gentleman who himsdf had learned Hebrew from a Christian missiaoary in Xi'an many years before.

Yaffe brothers move over, not out
•~^
By Boimie Block The only think that has changed since an ad for Yaffe Printing Company was placed in the first edition of the Jewish Press is the prefix of the ctompany's phone number. The only thing, that is, besides a Yaffe holding the position of company president. "Even though we officially turned the business over to our new president. Gale E. Morey, in April, we are not moving out, we're just moving over," said Irv Yaffe, former executive vice-president of the company. We'U take one year at a time," Sol Yaffe added. "We're not really retiring as such." Sol, past president and chief executive officer, said he and his brother plan on continuing as "principle players" in the company's 80-year-<dd business. When the company was started in 1906 by their father, Nathan S. Yaffe, the senior Yaffe's business philosophy imprinted itself not only on Omaha but also on his two young sons. Both of the boys grew up in the business. "Probably often underfoot," Sol said, "but we learned and lived our father's philosc^hy. We don't know any other way to conduct business." Nathan Yaffe, their Russian-immigrant father, had worked for a printer in Russia before moving to Sioux City, Iowa, and then to Omaha where family members lived.

But Nathan Yaffe did more than just start a business ethic in his sons. He also instilled a fierce commitment to the Jewish community. "Our father was president of Talmud Torah for years and began the Omaha Hebrew group which helped immigrants settle in the area," Sol said. "He was also one of the founders of this newspaper. The Jewish Press. Modesty and a list too long prevented both Sol and Irv from detailing the myriad of community boards on which they served, but Irv noted that service has grown beyond the Jewish community, including tenures on Westside Community Schools and the Hattie B.

Irv and Sol Yaffe ships. "Our days are long, 10-12 hours, so we have to have family support... and we love what we do, "both men agreed, again. "After all, something has to be right between us and our families," Irv said. "We are still brothers and more important, we are stiil friends." As if work and family don't bring them together enough already, both men share the same off-hours love—sports. Sol earned highechool letters m football, basketball and track and was the reigning AAU handball champ for several years. "I was a 'gym-rat' from the time I was 12-year8old," Irv said, "and I was the first person photographed at the old JCC pool at 20th and Dodge. Both men attribute their love of sports and their continuing love of tennis and
golf to staying fit and feeling good about their Uves and their work. And both men intend to continue their volunteer work as needs ttise in the community. "I guess it is our father's business philosophy that has been the real success . story, though," Irv said. "If you like people, make the community your family, treat them fairly, you can't go wrong." "We do every kind of printing imaginable, from wedding invitations to 4-color brochures," Sol said. "And I. think our father would approve." "It's his philosophy we work under and with," Irv added. "It works if you're willing to work at it... long days, commitment quality, and a little time off for sports." "W»area't ready to quit. Just move over — a'UtUe."

belief, the Israehtes did not rob their neighbors. As we are told in the book of Exodus, the Egyptians were anxious to get rid of these people who had brought so many plagues upon them: "The Egyptains were urgent uponthe people to send them out of the land in haste ..." The Children of Israel were only too willing to go, and the Bible story continues: "And they asked of the Egyptians jewels of silver and jewels of gold ... and the Lord gave the people favor in sight of the Egyptians, so that they let them have what they asked..." In short, these were farewell presents, bon voyage gifts as it were, and the Egyptians were only too happy to have the Israelites go. Surely Mr. Bahajat does not mean to imply that his ancestors were what we would call today "Indian givers." As for the Israelite labor, the historian has discovered that the going wage rate for slaves in those days was the equivalent of about half a dollar a year, for pocket money. Presumably the Israelites were paid this money, but he is magnanimously willing to make payment again, amounting to some few miUions of dollars in all, which he says can be deducted from Israel's debt to Egypt. Our own claculations run a bit differently. If we are figuring the worth of the gold at today's value, then the same should be done with the value of the labor involved. Let's be modest about it, and say that only 100,000 Israelis were involved. Considering that they filled various functions, including skilled construction work, it would be fair to say that an average wage at today's scale would be about $10,000 a year, or a total of $100,000,000. We'll cut the period involved down to 200 years, and we arrive at an accumulated back wages debt of $20 billion. Under the laws of Israel, this is subject to penalties for illegal withholding of payment for 3,000 years, and before we are through, we reach a total far in excess of the 40 billion claimed by Bahajat. In the words of Israel radio's Shaul Menashe, addressed to Bahajot: "When you are finished, please use your influence with the Cairo government to have the difference paid to us promptly.''

To the Editor As chairman of the WeUness Council of the Midlands and the medical director of the Health Fair of the Midlands, I was thriUed that the Jewish Community Center is planning a Children's Health Fair on Sept. 14. In my "private life" I am a surgeon in the Omaha medical community and it is painfully obvious to me that the cost of restoring good health is extraordinary. Maintenance of good health, fitness and disease prevention are morally, ethically and economically correct. It is very difficult to change people's lifestyles after they have acquired poor exercise habits, poor nutritional understanding and have burdened themselves with undue stress. Teaching pec^le to participate in caring for their own health at an early age is the obvious answer to rising health care costs. A "ChiUren's Health Fair" is the ideal vehidefor this educational endeavor and I applaud the Jewish Community Center for their pioneering efforts. I urge all paraits to bring their chiUren to the Health Fair and to participate in all of the varied experiences offered there. The future of our nation is the health and welfare of our youth and I am particularly pleased that the JCC is assuming an active leadership role in this arena. Eugene M. Zweiba^ M.D.

Next gathering July 22 at the J. Thanks to Pres. Gerald Bemstien for taking over the column while your stringer was in L. A. greeting son Joel's new daughter, Rena (Hebrew for happiness). At the earlybirds on July 8, Norm Wohlner was moderator. Discussed was what programs should be abolished. The Small Business Administration has suffered losses running into the billions of dollars. SBA has financed country clubs, marinas, hotels, shopping centers, bars, and bath houses for homos. From what Doc Leon Fellman tells us, SBA also saved Omaha business enterprises from going under after being destroyed in the 1975 tornado. Luncheon was, as usual, served by MoUie and her crew.

Morris Epstein, the man who brought a wide range of entertainment to the Young Energetic Seniors at the Jewish Community Center, died July 12. He was 75. Graveside services took place July 15 at Pleasant Hill Cemetery. In addition to his wife, Evelyn, Mr. Epstein is survived by son. Dr. Gary A. Epstein, Omaha; daughter, Mrs. Norman Sigel, Fresno, Calif.; brother, Aaron Epstein, Omaha; sister, Mrs. Harry (Edith) Fried; four grandchildren, nieces and nephews. For many years, Mr. Epstein served as a volunteer entertainment chairman for the Young Energetic Seniors meeting at the JCC and at-Beth El Synagogue. In that capacity, he was responsible for bringing hundreds of entertainers to the meetings. In a Jewish Press interview a few years ago, Mr. Epstein said, "I like to do things for different people and keep them happy ... I '11 go to hospitals and visit patients and call them up and wish them a happy birthday."
I feel very fortunate that I'm often surrounded by young people-usuaUy more of those than my own age group. Why do I like it? For one thing, the conversation takes me back way back. As an example, I heard one of them recently say "Today is my son's 23rd birthday. Gee, I was ab-eady taking care of him when I was 23!" (To be brutally honest, it's been a moon or two since I even had a kid who was 23.) I also hear about the problems of these kids. Problems I don't deal with anymore. Yet one thing always remains constant. A person never, ever reaches an age when he/she stops worrying about his/her children altogether. And if you think for one minute I'm not grateful I don't know the exact date my eldest is going on his "white water rapids tnp in Oregon," you can think again. If I'm lucky, he U call when he's back home to tell me how scary it all was. Those are some of the things better left untold, at least until after the fact.

New youth organization
I definitely believe if I don't know it won't hurt me. At least not right away! Not that I think a parent should hide his/her head in the sand, but why not save a ton of aggravation? Anyway, it's never too late to worry. If you think you were cheated by not knowing in advance, you can always go over the entire experience and its possible dangers at a later date.
A chapter of HashacharYoung Judea is being started in Omaha. This is a youth organization for Jewish children in America to help them learn about Israel through programs about Israel and taking place in Israel. The organization is fully funded by Hadassah. More information will follow about Young-Judea's planned introductory get-together in August for children from third through sixth grades.
As long as you understand the basic premise, you can be a proper parent. That is: you always worry. Even if your kid is a grandparent, that doesn't absolve you. You stiU are more likely to feel concern than not. Unless, of course, you aren't capable of feeling anything, and who would choose that alternative? Maybe that's what makes it vahd to continue the Ufe-long habit, of sensing when your offspring has real (or imagined) problems. One of my REALLY young friends was complaining to me about being "twenty years old and my parents still won't let me do anything on my own! They're so protective I can't breathe without them watehing." I asked ifahe were the eldest in her family and she told me she was. Then I tried to explain about parenting, and how she had a position a? "the learner child." How parents only got on-theiob training, and the firsl; kid was the designated goat. She understood all that, but felt she ought to have some fre^ dom. I agreed, and thought to myself I could understand both hers and her parents' sides. I also thought it's the old no-win situation. Everyone tries to do tKe best he/she can but each side believes only he/she is right.

What's the answer? Beats me. I've only been parenting for 38 years, and never mind how long I've been one of the children MY folks still worry about. I don't think an Einstein could explain it all. Anyway, even if he could, it wouldn't change anything!
