Omaha joins mourners for Turkish Jews dbv. Kerrey "enraged" over Turkish massacre iovernor Robert Kerrey said he was "enraged" upon hearing of the massacre of Turkish Jews in their synagogue. "Let's not forget though that a terrorist objective is to provoke us to do our worst rather than our best." The Governor said that this "cry that comes from within for vengeance" should be used to reinforce tikB need for positive accomplishment. He suggested to the Jewish Press Monday that Nebraska's participation in the construction of one of the nation's most significant memorials—the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C.—could help ease their anger. Governor Kerrey is the Nebraska chairman for a statewide fund-raising effort to help build the Museum. He has invited Nebraskans to the "Night to Remember" state dinner, Sept. 27.

By Edwin Eytan (Paris) and Hugh Oigal (Tel Aviv) JTA — The machine gun and grenade attack by two Arab terrorists on the Neve Shalom Synagogue in Istanbul Saturday morning, which took the lives of at least 21 Sabbath worshippers and wounded four, bore the stamp of the Abu Nidal gang, a dissident faction of the PLO based in Syria, according to experts on international terrorism in Israel and other countries.

A visit to Israel spurs E. A. Conley
tent'© e^<s wew
By Morris Maline
The president of Guarantee Mutual Life Company confronted the Holocaust head-on during a trip to Israel a few years ago. A Navy pilot during World War II, Eugene A. Conley only became aware of the Holocaust during the waning days of the war. "It wasn't until my wife and I visited the Museum of the Diaspora in Tel Aviv and Yad Vashem in Jerusalem that we understood the message of the Holocaust." Mr. and Mrs. Conley were part of a group of financial leaders fron; around the country who visited Israel on a trip arranged by the Israel Bond organization. Eugene A. Conley Now he is serving as cochairman with Harlan Noddle in the Nebraska effort to raise money for the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. "There is horrible brutality in the world today and everything possible should be done to stamp out bigotry and prejudice," Mr. Conley told the Jewish Press Monday. Mr. Conley, who also is a co-chairman for the Omaha Chapter of the National Conference of Christians and Jews, said that the growing tension in the world makes it appropriate at this time to get the message out. "The world cannot stand by and ignore what has happened. An educational effort is needed to make certain that such acts of genocide do not happen again." Mr. Conley said Governor Robert Kerrey asked him to co-chair the Nebraska fund-raising campaign to add Nebraska's support to the national effort. "Those whom I have contacted in Nebraska have expressed support for the effort and I believe we will have a good turnout for the Sept. 27 dinner."

blend their talents of writing, sculpturing, innovation and imagination to produce a unique and marvelously entertaining gem.
How old do you have to be before you take exception to being called a "girl " rather than a "woman"? I wonder about this because I've learned to be careful about who I call what. 1 've HAD to train myself to watch it because of the criticism and/or dirty looka I've gotten when speaking to some 30- and 40-year-old9 inA referring to them as "girls." And some who are in their twenties or for that matter almost ANY age are very particular about which word is used. Because I wuited to get a real feel for the question, I asked several (^males "are you a woman or a girl?" I love the answer frombne recent college graduate. She said "it depends on who I'm with." When she is in the company of her own gang, she's "one of the girls." If she happens to be in a more mature group, she thinks of herself as a woman. (I have a hunch if she calls a friend to set up a lunch date she says "can you kids meet me?") Another one I asked was very thoughtful... she admitteid "I'm 51.1 don't think of myself as a girl anymore. I'm a lady, I'm a woman, I'm a Mrs." She was the only one I questioned who took the poll seriously, however. Because I was sitting in the office I had an opportunity to put the question to a number of others. One of my favorite answo^, from one of my ligbthearted friends was, without missing a beat, "I'm a girlislT woman!" Another answered, also without any hesitation, "I'm a woman." She was tired and pressed for time, but I think that was lier'real feeling. And I agree with her. She really is a woman. A grown-up lady in every sense of the word. The fun came when a male stopped in and I asked him if his wife is a girl or a woman. He didn't hesitate either. He said "she's both. It depends on her mood." Everyone who heard him loved his reply. We all agreed it was valid. When I think about it, I guess most of us equate the two terms with age placement. I mean most of us think of "girl" as young,.. "woman" suggests a little more maturity. Most females today are so busy they haven't time to put a lot of stress on age. In addition, what is "old"? Certainly not the definition detecmined by chronological years. I know some people over 90 who are outright youthful! They think yoimg, act young and as a result, nobody thinks of them as "old." (But I think of them as "women.") So what's the bottom line? Darned if I know. I am dubious about my own answer. I certainly think of myself as a woman, but I hear myself asking contemporaries "what are you girls doing for lunch?" Woman sounds more serious, less frivolous. But what's wrong with frivolity? S6 there's no real answer. Except Popeye's ... he used to say "I am what I am, that's all I am." Me too.

According to eye-witness accounts, once inside they barred the heavy gates and opened fire on the c{mgregants with machine guns and hurled grenades.

Justice must triumph

Madmen are running amok. They are killing unprotected civilians anytime, anywhere. Men, women, children die or suffer physical and mental wounds—at random. The ultimate blasphemy—murdering innocent men while they pray—is an act of infamy beyoiid the comprehension of normal people. The murderers are without human feeling. They are robots—programmed to kill, kill, kill. In many cases, the robot killers extinguish their own lives at the end of their missions. Thus, the task of tracing their origin becomes more difficult—more difficult, but not impossible. These robots of death have money, weapons, passports, and their movements can be tracked. Eventually, the programmers of death robots will be identified, and retdbution will be exacted. For Jews, Israel has promised action. In America, we too must act. We must CEJI upon our leaders to take whatever steps are necessary to stamp out this evil. We must give our time and money to support life to counteract those among us who support death. Justice must triumph.
To the Editor: Hundl-eds of people in the Omatia Jewish and non-Jewiah community have already seen the current showing of "SHOAH", the film t)y Claude Lanzmann, which has received world-wide acclaim as one of the greatest documentaries in the history of the cinema. Tickets are still available for the other showings which are being held today, Friday, Sept 12, and tomorrow Saturday, Sept. 13, at the University of Nebraska at Omaha and Sunday, Sept. 14, at the Jewish Community Center. The showing at each of the above locations is 12:30 p.m. for Part I and 6:30 p.m. for Part II. Tickets may be purchased in advance at the Jewish Community Center or at the door up to one hour before screening. Those who have ah-eady seen SHOAH have indicated that the truth about the reasons why 20th century Germany could involve itself in such a monstrous activity as the destruction of six million Jews and millions of other European groups and the reasons why other ethnic populations of many European countries could wholeheartedly support the process. As was stated in the editorial in the Jewish Press by editor Morris Maline last week, SHOAH is not a motion pictvu« presented for entertainment, it is akin to revelation with participants and survivors disclosing the truth about the Holocaust. The documentary was made after 11 years of searching by Lanzmann, a French Jew, for people whose experiences of the Holocaust have never been filmed. It does not use old film footage but fallows survivors, perpetrators, former Neizi officials, villagers, Polish laborers and others to tell their version of the Holocaust, sometimes with ruses and hidden cameras being used for the acquisition of the information. Arrangements for the showing of the film SHOAH have been made in the Omaha community through a committee headed by Kathy Simon and Susan Paley representing the Jewish Family Service and the Jewish Cultural Arts Council assisted by Ann Kibel Schwartz, director of the JCAC, and Glen Fineman, director of the JFS of the Jewish Federation of Omaha.

Mobilization
Steven Rod attended the quarterly Board meeting of the Council of Jewish Federations in New York City on Sunday and Monday of this past week. One of the pri• itiary items on the agenda was a plan to mobilize hundreds of thousands of Jews from throughout the United States to be in Washington, D.C.., during Gorbachev's meeting with President Reagan. The mobilization effort is difficult because the exact date is not known. Current plans call for a four liour (noon to ,4 p.m.) Sunday rally to demonstrate to Gorbachev that the majority of the world will not tolerate the oppressive tactics of the USSR for people who wish to immigrate from their country. Speakers at the Board meeting noted that the acts being committed against Soviet Jews at the current time are remiiniscent of the same acts carried out against Jews during World War 11 "only this time we have no excuse, we must not remain silent," noted Jack Levine of West Orange, N.J., who is^chairing the mobilization effort. At a Jewish Federation Executive Committee meetijig on Thursday, Mr. Rod discussed, with Federation officers, Omaha's ability to mobilize our own conununity to send hundreds of Omahans to D.C. to participate in the nationwide rally.
ing and set them afire. The terrorists then blew themselves up with grenades. Saul said he escaped by pretending to be dead. His father was killed by gunfire. Four women in the women's gallery were injured by flying splinters. Radio Istanbul quoted eye-witnesses as saying dozens of people, haggard, in shock and bleeding, ran into the street calling for help. Ambulances and police cars reached the area 10 minutes after the alarm was sounded. Turkish officials contacted by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency from Paris said this was because the narrow lanes of the commercial quarter were crowded with pushcarts and shoppers at the time. Tie death toll would have been much higher if a Bar Mitzvah planned for Saturday had not been postponed at the last minute. The victims were buried at a collective fimeral. Israel's Minister of Religious Affairs, Yosef Burg, represented his country. The governor of Istanbul province, Nevat Ayaz, said after a meeting with Turkey's Chief Rabbi, David Asseo, that the services would be held in the Neve Shalom Synagogue. According to Turkish officials, the killers shouted "Jihad" (holy war) as they opened fire on the worshippers. Tlie officials suggested that the terror squad might have belonged to the Islamic Jihad, a gang controlled by the extremist Lebanese Shiites linked to the pro-Iranian Hezbollah (Party of God) which has been responsible for murderous attacks in Lebanon over the past two years. A Shiite group in Beirut calling itself the "Islamic Revenge" claimed responsibility for the synagogue attack in revenge for Israeli attacks on Lebanese villages. Another unknown group calling itself the "Palestine Revenge Organization" also claimed responsibility. But Israeli sources pointed to Abu Nidal who is backed by Syria and Libya. During the past six years his terror squads caqied out fatal attacks on the Rue Copemic synagogue in Paris, the main synagogue in Rome and synagogues in Vienna and Antwop. They also attacked a Jewish restaurant in Paris and a movie house there during a Jewish film festival. Reports from Istanbul Saturday said seven rabbis were among the victims, also two cantors and three tourists from Iran. Another report named an Israeli rabbi, Raphael Nesin, as a victim. But Henry Siegman, executive director of the American Jewish Congress who was recently in Turkey, said on a television interview Saturday that he had ascertained by telephone from Istanbul that no rabbi was killed. The attack shocked turkish officials. The first to reach the scene, the Deputy Governor of Istanbul, Hassan Ali Ozer, called the spectacle "awful." Case-hardened policemen were sickened by the sight of two dozen dead and Wounded, many wrapped in pra>iv shawls, lying in inch-deep pools of blood. Turkish Prime Minister Turgut Ozal, who called his Cabinet into special session, issued a statement in Ankara deploring "this heinous act in a place of worship."

Abu Nidal leading terrorist author/journalist asserts By Yitzhak RaU (Copyright 1986, Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Inc.) NEWYORK-IsraelHatly refused an American invitatim to participate in the aerial attack against targets in Libya last April. So reports Israel journalist Yossi Melman in his newly published book "The Master Terrorist: The True Story Behind Abu Nidal" (Adama Books, New York, $16.95). "After the hijacking of the Achille Lauro cruise ship by Palestinian terrorists connected to the Abu Nidal terrorist group and the killing of the elderly American Leon Klinghoffer, the United States and Israel strengthened their inteligence cooperation,'' Melman explained in an interview with the Jewish Telegraphic Agency." '.'Before the attack on Libya the Americans felt that if Israel joined the operation, it wtis more likely to succeed. But Israel refused, mainly because it did not want to open a new battle
front in the Mediterranean." Israel's refusal to join the attack is one in a series of revelations included in Melman's book on the international network of terrorism headed by Abu Nidal and sponsored by Syria and Libya According to Melman, diplomatic correspondent of the Israeli daily Davar, Abu Nidal is responsible for more than 100 attacks in various countries, including the Vienna and Rome airport massacres last December, the Achille Lauro hijacking and the aborted attempt to blow up an El Al plane with a few hundred passengers aboard, recently in London. Melman claims that AbU Nidal replaced Karlos ("The Jackal"), otherwise known as Ramiras Saaches, as the world's most dangerous and violent terrorist. Karlos, Melman believes, was "exterminated" by his Libyan paymasters. "Since the 1976 attack on OPEC in Vienna, Karlos was nbt

heard of. He probably knew too much and was done away with by the Libyans," Melman said. Who is Abu Nidal, the terrorist who threatened to kill President Reagan and Queen Elizabeth of Britain, and who attempted the assassination of PLO leader Yasir Arafat in 1974? In the interview and in his book, Melman portrays Abu Nidal as a crafty, elusive and shrewd organizer of a small, yet effective terrorist group of no more than 200 active members. "Abu Nidal is very elusive. He goes from Syria to Libya to South Yemen though his family; his wife, son and two daughters, live in Iraq. He is funded by Libya and Syria and has a solid infrastructure of supporters in Western Europe and offices in Eastern Europe," Melman said. Abu Nidal travels around the world with scores of passports, "but he never disguises his face."

Paraahat Ki Tetze Nature—but with responsibility Our Sidrah's opening vetse, and its concern with a basic human situation, directs our attention to some of the most difficult and the most vexing problems of our time. I refer to the whole complex of situations that are the concern of medical ethicists around the questions of family life—or more specifically,' the questions that surround sex and sex relations. The questions pervade every hospital and every medical practice and every medical school. At Creighton, locally, I serve on a medical-theology faculty panel on the question of the legitimacy of in vitro fertilization, and 1 am asked to deliver an occasional lecture on a Jewish point of view on certain medical-ethical questions. As long as the human being is human, endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable and certain inescapable mental-physical attributes, these problems will persist. In a Bible class last week, we noted the unusual word used to indicate, among the booty supposedly taken from the supposedly defeated Israelites by the supposedly victorious Canaanites, the women for the Canaanite soldiers. The mother of the Canaanite commander uses, a word which may well have been, in the time of the writer, a vulgar word for "girl." It would have suited this fine Canaanite lady well, as she contemplated the victory of her son over these contemptible Israelites. A victorious army, she thought, had the ' right tt> take booty, even prizes for the bedroom. Our Sidrah opens with the blanket prohibition of any such practice. Even if Israel

is successful in warfare, as the Sidrah promises they will be in entering Canaan, no soldier may take a captive woman without a full month's delay. And then he must make her his wife. Recognized here is the basic urge which sends man and woman after each other. Indeed the story in the second chapter of Genesis, the separation of man and woman from each other from the. original Adam, and then the seeing of each other in marriage, is precisely this kind of recognition. We didn't have to wait for Freud. ft In contrast to classic Christianity, which was led astray by Greek dualism, mainstream Judaism never condemned sex-in-marriage or the sex urge generally as evil in and by itself. But the weight of Jewish tradition, steadily and consistently over the centuries, insisted on responsibility, sensitivity, and restraint. From the opposite of our Sidrah, through all the centuries of the development of Jewish law on family life to our very own times, this point of view prevails: There is nothing intrinsically evil about the human being. But human beings, men and women, must live responsibly. A long and difficult list of problems follows in the wake of this kind of recognition. Among them are questions of iegitimate or improper marriages, family life, the relations of husbands and wives and parents and children, contraception, abortion, artificid insemination, in vitro fertilization, surrogate motherhood-^ and some others. Answers in Judaism vary with circumstances and with certain points of view. But naturalness and responsibility are always the key controls. '>***±*i 8alloon^^4-»« T Unlqu* .

They also protect foreign heads of state, still investigate counterfeiting and forgeries of government documents.
