Museum committee details dinner plans Those attending the Sept. 27 Nebraska Dinner of State to benefit the United States Holocaust MemcHial Museum which will be built in Washington, D.C., will see the first permanent display planned for the Museum. The display consists of the flags of the United States Army divisions that took part in the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps more than 40 years ago. The flag ceremony will be conducted by the Army's (Md Guard, members of t(ie 3rd United States Infantry, who will be flown to Nebraska by the Nebraska Air National Guard. Many other unusual features will make the evening of tribute a spectacular one for the hundreds attending, said Eugene Conley, steering committee co-chairman at a

meeting of the over-all conunittee Monday. Special "liberators" awards of honor and appreciation will be presented to Nebraskans Hollis Limprecht and Norman Smith by Governor Robert Kerrey in recognition of their efforts on bdialf of the concentration camp Tictims.

See related story and photos on page 2 and editorial page Secretary of the Interior Donald Hodel will be the principal speaker in keeping with his position as the head of the agency which gave the land for the Museum and his own personal feelings about the need to speak out and work on helping to remember the tragedy of the Holocaust. Special emphasis was made at the meet-

ing on the educational aspects of the Museum which is destined to become the center of learning, research and technological opportunities for tiling and displaying the story of the millions who died in the 1941-45 Holocaust period. "Hitler had a dream of a museum to an extinct race," said Sam Fried, a member of the committee and survivor of the Holocaust. "We now are blessed with the opportunity to build a museum to a living people, a far cry from what Hitle^ thoug;ht would happen." Other participants in the evening's program will be Jan Stoney, member of the dinner coAunittee; Father Robert Hupp of Boys Town, Rabbi Stephan Barack of Tem-. pie Israel, Mr. Fried, Chief Justice Norman Krivosha who will introduce Secretary

Hodel, Mickey Sturm, volunteer director of the Nebraska campaign to raise $1,000,000 toward the hundred million nation-wide goal, and the Rev. Elizabeth Beam. Reservations for the dinner are now being accepted at the "Campaign to Remember' ' office and can be made by clipping the ad in today's Jewish Press. Reservations should be accompanied by checks for a minimum of $100 pet person. Persons pledging $5,000 or more will be guests at a special cocktail party in the ^vf room preceding the dinner. Special arrangements are being made for those desiring fish dinners which should be noted on the reservations. Entrance to AkSar-Ben Saturday night is suggested through the 63rd ^d Shirley entrance.

Kutlers call Istanbul By Morris Maline When Omaha dentist Sol Kutler and his miib, Cherie, heard about the synagogue massacre in Istanbul, they placed a telephone call to Turkey. "We were particularly concerned about a family we had met there, a family who had befriended us," the Kutlers told the Jewish Press in an interview this week. Dr. and Mrs. Kutler visited Turkey in 1979 during one of his Rotary-sponsored trq)s to undevel(q>ed countries. For the past 16 years or so, Dr. Kutler has volunteered to serve in many parts of the world as part of a medical team from Omaha. "On this trip as we do on most of our trips, we look for Jewish institutions and try to meet with Jewish families." Dr. Kutler said they decided to visit the Istanbul synagogue to see how the congregation celebrated Simchas Torah. The synagogue was not too far from the downtown Hilton hotel and from the outside it looked lUce a closed-up storefi'ont, he said, adding that only the Mogen David

sijju ui front indicated that it was a Jewish building. "We walked in and two shammus' (caretakers) dressed in black uniforms with miUtary-type caps and gold braids welcomed us." According to Or. Kutler, the shammus' indicated that his wife should go upstairs and that he was welcome to sit downstairs. (Continued on Page S)

College of Jewish Learning opens 1986 season Sept. 21 Dr. David S. Wyman will be the keynote speaker for the 1986 College of Jewish Learning on Sept. 21, 7:30 p.m., at the Jewish Community Center. Dr. Wyman is a professor of history at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and is a special advisor to the United States Holocaust Memorial Council and a member of the Academic Advisory Board of the Simon Weisenthal Center. A devout Christian, the grandson of two Protestant ministo?. Dr. Wyman has spent his entire academic careo- investigating the fate of Europe's Jews during World War II. He is the author of the award-winning book, "The Abandonment of the Jews: America 1941-45." An "old-fashioned sort of American who

loves baseball and dislikes Communism intensely," he tells of the failure of this country's most cherished institutions and influential leaders to take actions during the war that might have saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of Jews. According to Dr. Wyman, even President Roosevelt, the humanitarian, failed to act. The State Department, the Congress, the military, the Christian churches, various political organizations, the media—none responded as they could have, he asserts. This is an opportunity for the Omaha community to meet and visit with a scholar and author of Dr. Wyman's stature. The public may attend and there is no charge.

Newman Grants fund five new programs By Jerold I. Rooen Endowment Director The Esther K. Newman/Carolyn Kully Newman Grants Committee, at the Sept. 3 meeting, approved funding for five new programs. Chairman Marvin Polikov explained they were chosen because they met Committee guidelines for being innovative and seeking to enhance thfi Jewish identity of youth in the greater Omaha area. Project Look (Let Others Out There Know) is a combined effort of Ozzie Nogg and the staff and students of the Omaha Jewish Day School. It plans, over the next several months, to write and produce a se' ries of television commercials that promote "things Jewish"—Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, etc. These commercials will use the tdents of the Day School children—their art

work, their singing, their spoken words. Project David Amram—Preschooler (Concert, sponsored by the Jewish Cultural Arte Council, has as its objectives to expose Jewish children and their non-Jewish classmates to a nationally recognized Jewish artist who is proud of his heritage and draws upon it as a theme for his art. The Boston Globe has described David Amram as "the Renaissance man of American Music." He has composed over 100 orchestral and chamber works, written two operas and, early in his career, written numerous scores for the theater and films. A Tapestry of Tales, submitted by the Jewish Day School, will bring Annette Harrison, a master storyteller, to Omaha. She will share cherished Jewish stories, both old and new, with children.

By Morris Maline A top executive at Northwestern Bell describes the proposed Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C., as a "human issue, not a Jewish issue." In an interview with the Jewish Press, Janice D. Stoney, executive vice-president and operations officer, explained why she is serving as a cochairman for the Sept. 27 Nebraska dinner at AkSar-Ben. "Somewhere in the back of Amer ican peoples' minds is the belief that the Holocaust could not happen here Janice D. Stoney '"They kind of think that what happened in Nazi Germany and other parts of Europe resulted fivm a unique set of circumstances and could not be repeated here." Mrs. Sttney said that the best prevtation

of a future Holocaust is making education available for people who want to think. Creating such an environment of study opportunities, she said, is the best way to ensure that conditions in society will not get out of hand. She pointed out also that the Museum will be equippped with state-of-the-art communications tools so that all of the data from the Holocaust period will be available to students throughout the country. Nebraska schools will be able to tap into this database, thus providing a living memorial of a body of information that can only improve education, she added. Mrs. Stoney said that the potential for improving education, the belief that the Museum is a "human issue, not a Jewish issue," were among her reasons for agreeing to serve as a dinner co-chairman. Another reason, she added, is that "Mickey Sturm is a tough person to say no to." Editor's note: Mickey Sturm is the volnnteer director for the Mnseum's fnndraising efforta in Nebraska.

oir^ajM® One of my young friends recently brought me • clipping from a female-oriented magazine which dealt with the topic of "men and boys." As in whether or not there ia a little boy in all grown males etc. There were some very funny lines in the context of the story but I won't quote them here for two reasons. First, I don't think I can legally do that and second I'd hate to alienate all the guys I didn't already offend when I took on the B'nai B'rith Stag! There is some room for exploration on the subject however. Take the examples found in the language we use: somebody can be described as having "a boyish grin," no matter if he's 16 or 86. Boyish implies a special, young kid look, doesn't it? Then there's the little cutesy adage invented for the grown man who buys himself the $45,000 sports car. The one that says "The only difference between men and boys is seen when you hear the price of their toys." And the poor shnook jrho's in bed with a bad cold often has a worn-out wife fetching and carrying, running and temperature taking who can be heard to say "when he's sick he's the worst baby you ever saw!" I can't think of an appropriate examfde to illustrate the one that says "he's just a boy at heart" but I know it's often said. I don't know where it all comes from. Maybe it stems from the old mentality that dictated a "man must be a stoic. A man can't hug another man. A man cannot show outward displays of emotion." I think society made it very difficult for males when that kind of tbing was laid on them. Why should it be different for people to respond to sadness or grief or joy just because of gender? That doesn't make sense, does it? And as a matter of fact, I'm glad the differences in the way women are perceived has had an effect on the way men how are free to behave. Or young couples are not so seriously steeped in the role playing which said women cooked, raised kids and cried and men worked and supported and were emotionally controlled. Today we've given men permission to react normally... isn't that a lot better than holding it all in? I think it's perfectly ok for a man to get tears in his eyes while watching sad scenes in a movie... I hate to snivel all alone! I also think it's more than ok for a man to hug or otherwise show affection for a brother or father or friend when saying hello or goodbye at the airport. Why not for heaven's sake? Equality. That's what it all boils down to. And if that means a man is called boyish or babyish, well so be it. Better that then old grump or kvetch. Right? Right.

The United Way Nearly 100 years ago, two ministers, a priest and a rabbi formed the Charity Organization Society, the first United Way organization. iPurpose: to plan and coordinate services and Conduct a combined fund-raising campaign for 10 agencies in Denver, Colo. For the past 60 years or so, the United Way in this area has gone about the business of helping to make this community a better place to live through its annual fund raising campaign. The Jewish community supports this annual campaign and urges everyone to participate. One of the strong points of tzedakah is to help people to help themselves and this is what United Way does. This year the United Way mission remains the same, but the urgency surrounding the campaign is like none witnessed in recent times. The United Way of the Midlands Board of Directors unanimously approved a "stretch" goal of $12 million to help meet the health and human services need in our conMnunity. That's the dollar amount needed to maintain adequate service delivery and to offset cutbacks in federal, state and local government support to local agencies. As a result, the United Way will carry greater responsibility than .ever before as a funding source for those affected by the transition of support tiom government to the private and voluntary sector.

REHOVOT, ISRAEL - Wines produced in hot climates the world over may improve dramatically as a result of research being conducted at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem's Faculty of Agriculture here. Researchers Prof. Ben-Ami Bravdo and Dr. Yosef Hepner of the Department of Horticulture discovered that grapes grown in Israel have a high concentration of monoterpenes, highly volatile and aromatic materials that give wine its special bouquet. Due to high summer temperatures, most of these evaporate. Remaining monoterpenes become bound to sugar compounds in the grapes, preventing their release into the wine. The researchers found that one way of reducing further evaporation is to conduct the fermentation process at a cooler temperature of 15 degrees Celsius. Also, controlling the level of acidity during the process helped free the monoterpenes from the sugars and allowed them to be released into the wine. A technological process for separating them is now being tested for its commercial applicability. Israeli wines currently are exported to the United States to the tune of $5 to $6 million a year. The U.S. imports vast quantities of wine and these are increasing yeiarly. Improved quality of Israeli wines could greatly increase Israel's wine exports.

To the Editor: This past year there has been a lot of negative publicity of nursing and aging homes across the country. To add a positive note to all this, I would like to describe my experiences this summer as a nursing assistant up at the Rose Bluipkin Nursing Home. Not only did 1 have a wonderful sununer and make many friends, I also learned a lot about nursing homes and why the Rose Blumkin Home is so special. In my training I watched several films portraying situations and problems I would have to deal with. These films showed several nursing homes across the country and their staffs; which all seemed very efficient but also very formal. I would leave the film room and walk out onto the floor and the whole atmosphere would be changed. I heard laughter, not only between residents and between staff, but between residents and staff. Both residents and staff were on a first name basis, there were friendships formed and jokes shared. Everyone really seemed to work together, they were able to share the responsibility to make the home a good place to live. The care, of'the staff towards the residents and their willingness to help was inifinite and was always done with sincerity. The residents were very kind and friendly and very understanding towards new employees and mistakes that were sometimes made. This mutual understanding between residents and staff made my whole working experience very pleasant. I have never learned so much in three months and gained such a good feeling about myself, for, by helping others you really do help yourself. The word "Home" is a perfect description for the Rose Blumkin Home, it really is a special place to be. Dana Wayne To the Editor How grateful I am to be part of an organization which is so vigilant, so caring, so productive in their field of endeavor, who are actively watchful so that our Jewish people are safe frond those who would want to harm us. Recently a piece was shown on TV, a group of radicals who again want to eradicate anyone who is not Aryan White Christian, etc. Of course, we know first-hand who they have in mind, we Jewish people who, along with the Blacks of our nation, are the usual targets of these hate groups. It showed where they recruit their members, mainly the prisons, those persons whose lives are unstable and are ripe to join with rabble rousers. How grateful we should feel that the Anti-Defamation League of'B'nai B'rith is always on top of these hideous and heinous threats to us Jews. r I, for one, am most grateful to be living in our United States of America, where the law allows us so many freedoms and to express ourselves, our innermost thoughts and feelings. Let freedom ring, always. Let's all band together to make the B'nai B'rith and the ADL so strong in numbers, so that the necessary funds

for these reasons and purposes are always available. What do you say? Betty Goldstrom To the Editor: The SHOAH Film Project was made possible through the combined energies and devotion of many dedicated people. It was our goal to bring a documentary film about the Holocaust to Omaha; what we saw on film was the living history of the Holocaust itself. Each of us who lived through the film actually felt in some small measure that IContioued on Page 5)

Calinger accuses Daub of "broken promises" By Morris Maline Democratic Congressional candidate Walter Calinger lashed out at his Republican opponent Hal Daub alleging a string of broken promises to his constituents. Mr. Calinger suggested that Mr. Daub "hid" behind Gramm-Rudman so that he could deny cutting benefits to veterans,'students and the elderly. Mr. Calinger made his remarks at Beth El Synagogue during the Walk-in program for the Elderly, Sept. 11. He also charged that the Reagan Administration is avoiding the "staggering" national debt, the "largest trade deficit in history" and the "outrageous" farm bilL He said the Administration has c^me up with a Walter Calinger campaign against drug abuse to lead the American public away from the major problems in the nation. Mr. Calinger pointed out that he is for correction of the "notch" Social Security imbalance, mandatory production controls for farmers and reasonable protection for United States industries against foreign competition. Mr. Calinger predicted that this fall there would be grain stored everywhere because the farm bill encourages more production. "This is costing the American taxpayers billions of dollars," lie added. He predicted that the Administration will get rid of grain at any cost even if.it means hauling it to Russia, milling it and baking the bread for the Russians "at no cost." Mr. Calinger told the group that he backed President Reagan's strike against Libya and supports Israel's policy of not negotiating with terrorists.

Bureau offers LIFELINE to Senior Citizens By Maigo Hackel The Bureau for the Aging announoM a 24-hour medical emergency respcmse service called LIFELINE to senior citizens. «. This service is offered through Immanuel Medical Center and is financed in part through Inunanuel's Auxiliary. It is designed for elderly and handicapped persons who Uve alone and who may at some time need help, but are unable to get to a telephone. According to a LIFELINE brochure, the system works like this: the LIFELINE unit attaches to a telephone and automatically dials the Immanuel Emergency department when activated. A remote control button is worn or carried by the person so it is handy in case of an emergency. If the wearer should be in an injurious situation, such as a serious fall, he or she pushes the remote button. This activates the unit to send a message by phone to Immanuel's Emergency department. There, a staff member calls the persMi's home. If there is no answer, a call is placed to <me of several people (friends, relatives, neighbors) who have agreed to respond in an emergency. When the reepwMJer reaches the home of the injured person, the LIFELINE unit is reset and appropriate action taken, such as calling an ambulance, if necessary. The LIFELINE subacriber is not required to use Immanuel's dervicea at this p<Mnt. Any hoqiital may be used. Shane Kotok, Community Indivkhial Servicee Coordinatar for the Bureau for the Aging, explained that Immanuel Auxiliaiy is subsidizing part of the cost, but the balance is pidced up by the subscriber, who pays $12.50 per month. Mrs. Kotok said the Bureau's involvement in the program is to present the service to current YE.S. and Oldtimer * members and other retired people who livi^one: Eugene Brandt, Director of the Bureau, sakl they became involved in UFiajNE because "we heard fron people who had problems with falling and being unable to get he^. We felt there were many who could benefit from this service." The Bureau for the Aging is still in the early stages of its inv(rivement. Mr. Brandt said "we're trying to reach the most essential fc&a first, those who really need help. We hope to have the program in full operation quickly."

Parashat Ki Tavo attitude to life

AD

In connection with Thanksgiving I once pointed out that the yery word "Jew," etymologically, comes from a root meaning "to thank." At least that is its origin in the etiological account of the name "Judah" in Genesis, and it is from that name that the word "Jew" is derived. Our Sidrah enforces and strengthens this idea. It opens with instruction to the Hebrews who were about to enter Canaan to remember that this land is the Lord's gift to them. They were to show their gratitude by making an (annual?) acknowledgement, formal and solemn, at the Temple and in the presence of the priest, that this our land is God's gift to us, and, lo!, here are the first ft^ts of the soil. We acknowledge that this good produce is His, and we thank Him for it. This offering in time became the Shavuot offering of First Fruits. It was an annual tinie of joy and festivity—and of a solemn and happy display of gratitude for the good things of the earth. It requires no great mental or spiritual leap to see that gratitude is also the thrust of the harvest festival of Sukkot and the freedom festival of Pesah. Gratitude is a basic expression of the human spirit— and in Judaism it is a basic religious requirement as well. A moment's reflection will make the point clear. Over and over again we find ourselves saying, "Barukh atta ... ", "Blessed art Thou" or "Praised are You." That is the usual formula of a Jewish benediction. It pervades our whole prayer service, whether in syna-

gogue or home. But "blessed" (when man addresses God) and "praised" mean the same thing: Both mean, 'We thank You, Lord..." Thus the Jew quickly learns that even the things he has labored for, the fruits and vegetables and grains of his field and (Hchard, and, no less, the goods produced by his ingenuity in factory and laboratory, are God's gifts. Indeed the very ingenuity, the mental acumen, the imagination, insight, and intelOgeoce he displays, theM too are God's gifts. By himself mankind is clay and dust. In the midst of all the tragedies of life, the bereavement and sorrow and frustration, in the midst of the human failure to reach international accord and brotherly peace, the Jewish teaching is to maintain a sense of thankfulness for the opportunities that life affonis. If we have failed, it is not God's fault: the failure is the failure of mankind. Jews have many different conceptions of what it means to affirm a faith in God. We have opinions ranging from older, more traditional viewpoints to radical "humanistic" conceptions. We have opinions ranging from faith that is almost childlike and innocent, to viewpoints that are profound, pUlosophical, or metapysical. But in none of them is the cry of gratitude missing. L^e itself is the greatest gift. The self-consdous human being never forgets this, never deniee it, never allows it to escape his thought process. "WTien you come into the land ..." our iSidrah says, don't forget how you got there and why. Don't forget who it was who brouf^t you thera Make solemn affirmation of your.gratitude.

Kutlers call Istanbul ^^•Mrs. Kutler said that she joined the other women on benches and that the lady next to her looked at her knees which were slightly visible below the skirt. "The woman took a shawl from her shoulders and politely used it to cover my knees. Meanwhile, Dr. Kutler was given a big welcome by "the very friendly congregation" and they offered him the top honor of leading the initial Torah procession. He declined the top honor "with friendly gestures" and settled for a later opportunity. Mrs. Kutler said the women put their fingertips to their foreheads, then to their lips and blew kisses as the Torahs passed in procession. After the service, the Kutlers met Joseph Asaryad and his two daughters, Debbie and Meggie. Dr. Kutler was able to communicate with Mr. Asaryad in Yiddish and later was able to talk with the girls in English. "They took us to their near-by apartment, provided us with dinner, and the next day they took us around the city ... we became fast friends and upon returning home we corresponded with them over the years." Dr. Kutler said that Debbie answered the phone and found it difficult to believe that the Kutlers had called all the way from Omaha. She explained that they were not in the synagogue at the time of the massacre be-

cause they had gone away for the week end to escape the summer heat. "Actually, she didn't talk too much about the massacre other than to say that it was terrible and that the whole community was going to the funerals . . . she was very excited that some one had called from the United States." Dr. Kutler said that during the conversation he learned that Debbie was going to be in Israel in February visiting her sister. ; He told her that he was going to be in Israel the same month working as a volunteer at Shterot in the Negev and that he and Cherie would look forward to meeting them at that time. "We felt terrible about the awful loss of Ufe at the synagogue, but we were reUeved to find that our friends had escaped the slaughter ... we're going to be very happy to see the girls again." Editor's note: Dr. Kutler said that he already has received one call from a memba- of the community regarding "doing something" for the Istanbul congregation. He said that if others want to join the effort, they can call him at the office or preferably in the evening at his home. Meanwhile, nearly 200 Omaha mourners attended the memorial service for the slain Jews of Istanbul. The service was conducted S^t. 11 in the Jewish Community Center.
