Leonard Friedels give $500,000 to help the Jewish Day School By Morris Maline i Leonard L. and Phyllis J. Friedel plan to establish a i' $600,000 endowment to benefit the Jewish Day School of [ Omaha. 't HW Friedels developed the concept of the Jerry Leonard I clothing stores for big and tall men and sold the 26-8t<»« ^.<ihain to Allied D^artment Stores in 1986. The Friedels then moved from Omaha to Scottsdale, Ariz. "We wanted to do something for Omaha," Mr. Friedel told the Jewish Press in an interview. (See separate box cm page I.) llie Friedels discussed their desire to help the Omaha I Jewish community with Mort Trachtenbarg, president of I the Jewish Federation, and Steven Rod, executive vice ^president. r "They gave us a list of 10 possible areas fcr consideraI tion, 10 Omaha needs for us to look at... Of the 10, we r selected the Day School as the most important to us," Mr. I Friedel said. 1^. He andliis wife then visited the Day School at 12604 Pal cific Street. f: "We were impressed with the faculty, the students, and F the facilities." I In appreciation of the endowment, the Day School Board I of Directors has agreed to rename the school in January, i:i987. The new name will ]be the Leonard L. and Phyllis J. "Ed^delJewish Academy. • ••' A. native of Omaha, Mr. Friedd attended Central High School and the University of Nebraska at Lincoln where he majored in Business Administration. ^' lie entered the Army in 1942 serving as a captain in the Medical Battalion of the Engineers Amphibious Brigade—a unit which fdlowed combat troops to set up tent hospitals in Europe. After the war, Mr. Friedel relocated to the Los Angeles area to pursue a writing career. "I did this for about seven years and then decided to move back to Omaha," Mr. Friedel said, adding that an opportunity existed for him to take over the family store. The store, named "The Fair," was a man's clothing store which had a d^artment for big and tall men. ' 'This department was the tail that wagged the dog and we felt that this portion of the business could be the wave of the future."
Thus, in 1962 the first Jerry Leonard store was opened at 16th and Famam. The name of the store was selected for its nice sound and ease to remember, Mr. Friedel said. In 1954, Mr. Friedel married Phyllis Joy Kern of Kansas City and they made their home at 4702 Cass Street. He conple has two daughters: Lynne Gellman of Austin, Texas, who has a three-year-old son, Jay, and a fourmonth-old daughter, Rebecca; and Randi Friedel who teaches fifth grade in the Phoenix, Ariz., school system. "Neither my wife, nor I, nor our children had intensive Jewish educations, but we do see the value of such an education as offered by the Jewish Day School," Mr. Friedel explained. The Friedels have been members of Temple Israel for more than 30 years and Mrs. Friedel has been active in Hadessah, National Council of Jewish Women, and ORT, while Mr. Friedel has been involved with B'nai B'rith. "Phyllis also has been active in amateur theater," Mr. Friedd added, pointing out that she had performed at the Omaha Coimnunity Playhouse, and the Chanticleer Theater in Council Bluffs among other places. Now, she is active in the Phoenix Little Theater, the oldest such theater in the country, Mr. Friedel said. Mr. Friedel said that his contract with Allied keeps him employed as a consultant on the Jerry Leonard 0[>eratipn, but that he is enjoying his retirement. ^'But, we both have strong roots in Omaha," Mr. Friedel added.

By Mort Trachtenbarg, President Jewish Federation «F Omaha On behalf of the Jewish Federation Board of Directors, I am delighted to acknowledge the very generous (ptt to the Je\irish Federation Foundation for the Jewish Day School from Leonard and Phyllis Friedel. The Federation has funded the Day School from its inception, and with the many increased needs for programs and services throughout the Jewish community, this generous endowment gift from the Friedel family will free-up operating funds which can now be applied to other programs and services within the Jewish community of Qimaha. The Jewish community will eternally be grateful to Leonard and Phyllis for their generosity, and I know we will have a more formal way of expressing our appreciation at the time of the rededication of the Friedel Jewish Academy, as well as at our forthcoming Board of Directors meeting on Oct. 28.
Reflecting our overwhelming gratitude, the Jewish Day . School Board unanimously voted to rename the Day School The Leonard and Phyllis Friedel Jewish Academy to honor the Friedels. Their gift of a half miUion dollar endowment will largely eliminate the school's operating deficit and will permit the school to grow to a fuU kindergarten to sixth grade program with a projected enrollment of seventy children. Since the school's rebirth foiu' years ago, the Qoard and faculty have worked to offer Omaha parents the same alternative available to parents in all other important Jewish communities in the United States, the alteniative of a Jewish elementary day school combining the finest secular and Jewish education programs in the city. This endowment will aesve as the foundation which, combined with the financial support of our many other friends, will permit us to achieve our goals and will assure that the Day School alternative will always be available in Omaha. Our hope that our children's contributions to the Jewish community of Omaha, as a result of the education this gift makes possible, will serve as the living testimonial to the generosity of Phyllis and Leonard Friedel Forrest Knitter Mike Katzman Co-chairmen—Omaha Jewish Day School

Seminary launches centennial celebration NEW YORK, NEW YORK-Over 1.2 million Conservative Jews will participate in worldwide celebrations marking the Centennial of The Jewish Theological Seminary of America, the academic and spiritual center for the Conservative movement of Judaism.

This is Micl<ey!
The telephone might ring early in the day, or late in the evening, and the caller would say, "This is Mickey." This is how Mickey Sturm, volunteer leader of the Nebraska campaign to raise funds for the Holocaust Museum, contacted scores of workers in recent weeks. From personal eiperience, I can surmise that many of the calls precipitateid responses as follows: Can't do it Mickey ... not enough time ... impossible .. .etc. Yet, it was done, there was enough time, and the impossible dream of having a splendid Dinner of State was realized. Nebraska was the third State in the country to hold such a dinner, and by any standard of measurement the event was successful. A total of 550 attended and the amount raised topped $500,000. • Beyond the numbers, ihe event itself touched all of those present and sent a message to the rest of the nation. The message is that Nebraska is a leader, and the Nebraska format could well serve as a model for the remaining states to follow. The Nebraska effort was far from easy, and many of the workers will be quick to say that without Ms. Sturm's participation, it is unlikely that such achievement would have been attained. It is quite likely, many will say, that without her participation the dinner might not have taken place at all. Apparently the initial reaction to the efforts of Governor Bob Kerrey and co-chairmen Harlan Noddle and Eugene Conley was somewhat less than torrential. For an uncomfortable period of time, there was little mok tion at all, and tine started to run out. The date for the dinner had been set, but someone to direct the day-to-day operations was lacking. Ms. Sturm filled the gap. She focused on the need and devoted her every waking moment to the success of the project. She devoted more time and expended more energy than one can imagine. She swiftly organized a cadre of volunteers, contacted and persuaded top names in the Omaha corporate world to join the effort, communicated with the people in Washington, and looked to detail after detail. When a problem tu-ose, she got on the telephone and ultimately got hoW of someone who could provide the solutioi>. She reached for perfection, and she succeeded. She just wanted the members of the community to do the best they could—and they did. " Future endeavors in this community now have a standard of excellente to serve as a guide, and the Holocaust Museum is closer to reality. What one woman could do with three little words is now legend. The words: This is Mickey!
To the Editor: Sept. 27 waa indeed "a night to remember." 600 Nebraakans under the sponsorship of Governor Robert Ketrey gathered at Ak-Sar-Ben to benefit a new national institution in the making: The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. The museum, which will be located at the national mall in Washington, D.C., opposite the Washington Monument and Jefferson Memorial, will be a 'living' institution. It will, of course, provide a memorial to the victims of the Holocaust and a permanent exhibition that tells the bitter story and teaches its lessons so that future generations will neither forget nor repeat its horrors. What's more, the museum to which millions of Americans and foreign travelers will visit each year, will also be an archive, a library, an educational campus, a gallery, a cultural center and a meeting house for scholars, international dignitaries as well as the general public. To build, equip and endow this vital Memorial Museum, mandated by a unanimous vote of congress in 1980, the United States Holocaust Memorial Council has established A CAMPAIGN TO REMEMBER, under the honorary chairmanship of President Reagan, to raise $100 million in tax-deductible private donations. In the past two years, we have raised nearly one-third of our goal You Nebraakans have inq)iied us, and we hope your fellow citizens in other communities around the countiy as wdl, by your exenqdary leadership and support. Your efforts, cdminating in the Sept. 27 dinner, have resulted in a collective, grass roots, gift of support of over a half a million dcdlars! And we are told there is more to come. On behalf of Elie Wieael, the chairman of the United States Holocaust Memorial Council, we want to exiwess our profound thanka to jrou, the citizens of Nebraska, for your genenMity on behalf of this sacred naitiooal cause. You should be very proud. We especially want to express our appreciation to Mickey Sturm, Nebntska Campaign volunteer director, who had the vision to endorse the project and the dedication to work tirelessly for its success. In return, we pledge to Voep you advised of our progress and we pledjge to establish an outstanding, dignified, world-class Holocaust Memorial Museum to which we will be able to welcome each of you as treasured visitors beginning in the spring of 1989. With heart-felt thanks and warmest regards.

To the Editor •^ In a major speech of Sept. 17, "A New Vision for America," unannounced presidential candidatie Pat Robertson declared: "... we pledge ourselves without reservation to maintain religious liberty for all people." Yet, on the Dec. 30,1981, telecast of his "700 Club," Rev. Robertson stated that: "The Constitution of the United States, for instance, is a marvelous dociunent for selfgovernment by Christian people. But the minute you turn the document into the hands of noq-Christian people and atheistic people they can use it to destroy the very foundation of our society. And that's what's been happening." And on July 30 of this year in Lansing, Mich., the TV evangelist remarked that, "Christians feel more strongly about love of country, love of God and support for the traditional family than do non-Christians." The question is: Just what vision is it that this presidential aspirant has for America? Has Rev. Robertson really changed his mind about nob-Christians, or—finding that blatantly bigoted statements do him mope harm than good—merely his strategy? Maniy C. Abraham i Associate Director Americans for Religions Libe^y Washington, D.C.
To the Editor I wish to thank the Jewish Federation of Omaha for making possible my recent trip to New York City to attend the Executive Board Meeting of the Coimcil of Jewish Federations. When I was named by the Federation as the Jewish Teen Leader of 1983,1 was awarded a $500 stipend to be used for a "Jewish educational experience." At the fortuitous suggestion of Steven Rod, I used the stipend to ' attend the Board Meeting. I spent three rewarding days in New York with Mr. Rod and attended several CJF workshops and presentations affording me insight into the workings of the Federation. I feel I am now a more aware member of the Jewish community and, therefore, of more potential use to our Jewish community. Along with the positive aspect of the Board Meeting was a negative. I spent a very frustrating hour sitting in on a committee meeting designed to assess CJF college youth services. I was shocked when I discovered I was the only student present. The session floundered and produced little. My reaction was that no one on the cobmiittee really was interested in listening to what today's college youth have to say. Fortunately for Omaha, our Federation leadership is wiser. Through its many programs, including the Teen Leadership Award, this conamunity's leadership has shown it cares about nurturing tomorrow's leaders. I thank the Omaha Jewish Federation for this concern and for the opportunity it has afforded me. Kevin M. Saltzman Harvard College '88
Thought for the Week By Rabbi Mendel Katzman The overwhelming majority of the Torah portion of Ha'azinn—six of the seven sections—is taken up with Moses' song, known as the "Song of Ha'azinu." The Levites used to sing this song on the Sabbath in the Holy Temple. They would divide it into six sections, each section sung on another Sabbath, in the same manner that the song is divided for the Torah reading. Maimonides explains why the "Song of Ha'azinu" was divided in this fashion: "... For they are (words of) admonishment; so the people will repent." "Admonishment" and "song" are antithetical. How are we to understand this "song" which contains words of "admonishment?" The "Song of Ha'azinu" as a whole, even those parts which contain words of admonition, has one central theme: all the events that transpire with the Jewish people are ultimately for the good. Even those events which seem'to be the very antitheses of goodness have the purpose of leading Jews closer to the ultimate redemption. Thus, all events are steps and stages which lead in the direction of redemption. The Torah portion of Ha'azinu is read most years, and this year as well, on Shabbos Teshavah, the "Sabbath of Penitence," so called because it is the Sabbath of the "Ten Days of Penitence." Accordingly, it is to be understood that the portion of Ha'azinn is not only connected to these days of penitence because this portion contains "words of admonishment; so the people will repent," but because of the particular service and level of repentence of Shabboa Teshnvah. The difference between weekday and Sabbath repentance is that weekday repentance is Teshnvah Tata'ah, "Inferior BepeaUmce," while Sabbath repentance is Teshnvah Ila'ah, "Superior Repentance." In general, Teahuvah Tata'ah involves repenting for the commission of actual sins, while Teshnvah Ila'ah is the return and cleaving of man's spirit toG^'s. During the week man is involved nrith elevating mundanity to holiness. Therefore, in terms of man's repentance, too, Us repentance revolves around rectification of actual sins—Teshnvah Tata'ah. On the Sabbath, however, mundane labor is fttbidden, and man's spiritual service invdves elevating himself from level to level within holiness itself. IB terms of man's repentance, too, this is the level of Teshnvah Oa'ah—striving to come ever closer to 0^ These levels of repentance also differ in the manner in which they are performed: Teshnvah Tata'ah is performed with a broken and contrite heart, while Teshavah Ila'ah is done with "great joy." All this is to be found in the "Song of Ha'azinn." On one hand it includes "(words of) admonishment; so the people will repent," and on the other hand it is called a "song," an expression of joy, sung by the Levites in the Holy Temple. The connection of the "Song of Ha'azinn" with Teshnva Ila'ah is also in accord with tbe plain content of the Torah portion: The "Song of Ha'azinn" was commanded to be written "so that this song will be a witness for the Jews"— it served as a witness to the Torah and the commandments, enabling the Jews to perform them in an everlasting and vivacious manner. Repentance, too, especially Teshuvah Ila'ah, vitalizes the . Jew and enables him to perform Torah and its commandments in an everlasting manner, so that his actions (through repentance) become "good deeds and luminous ones." .,...-

"I know that 1 need help ... but I don't want anybody to know about it." "I especially don't want the Jewish commimity to know that I have problems." These are common concema that the staff hears from clients and the general community. Trust, honesty, rapport and openness are some of the main ingredients of which a good relationship between a therapist and an individual (family) is made. "Confidential" is defined by Funk & Wagnalls as "... Given or imparted in confidence; secret: confidential mformation." Also, according to Funk & Wagnalls, "Confidence" is "A feeling of trust in a person or thing; reliance; faith ... a relationship of trustful intimacy." It is in accordance to these principles that Jewish Family Service has developed its philosophy or code of ethics, in a sense. Confidentiality is the most important principle that Jewish Family Service imparts toward both its clients and with its board members. If someone calls the agency with a request or concern and asks to keep it confidential, that is all that needs to be requested of the agency staff regarding their confidence. Anything that is

Clients names (or their families) are NEVER mentioned nor specific client problems diaoissed at JFS board meetings or discussed with the Federatim staff. Content presented and discussed at board meetings are of a programming, budgetary, and organizational natura Other agency matters, such as administrative issues, may also be discussed from time to time. Material discussed at the JFS Board of Directors meetings is considered to be confidential and kept within that structure, unless specifically denoted by the board to be public information. Jewish Family Service maintains a high degree of professionalism in every sense of the word, with its main goal to develop and maintain individual integrity and respect with its clients, Boanl of Directors, and within the general community.

You don't have to be Jewish to enjoy "Brighton Beach Memoirs" at the Firehouse Dinner Theatre—but it helps. The newly-refurbished theater now is offering the best play that this reviewer has seen in Omaha.
A review "Memoirs" is the story of Neil Simon's own faoiily life as seen through the eyes and reported through the mouth of a 15-year-old. The play is refreshing, funny, sad and compelling. "fhe characters constantly prompt a Jewish adult to look back into his childhood and remember family life as it was in those days. Live-in relatives, an older brother, the mysteries of sex, a father's illness and a mother who serves liver are

Lady. Her devotion to the Young Energetic Seniors, the Old Timers, the long trips, and her compassion for others, and her own sorrows, makes her our own Lady of the Year. Her thank you speech sufficed. And dear Toby Kagan, who has done so much for us, wished us a Happy New Year. Special thanks to Mollie for the signal honors accorded by her for your stringer and Toby. Thanks were expressed to Mollie and gals and the Maitre D's, Al and Bogie, for their services. We were delightfully entertained by the Union Pacific Railroad quartet. An appreciative audience applauded these pros on their renditions of songs from the old railroad days and Broadway musicals. Bert Lewis, popular Press columnist, presented the officers of next year: president, Gerald Bernstein; vice-president, Sam Rosenstein; Secretary, Dave Dvorkin; sergeant at arms, George Schapiro; Sunshine chairman. Norm Wohlner; correspondent, Henry Stern; ritual chairman, Charlie Fellman. A late September release in the Washington Post, the leading D.C. daily, printed a letter,, in their Letters column, from our silver tongued orator, Norm Korney, about the President and our economy. Very interesting reading. And a good year to all of you. By the way, Mollie is a new honorary life member.
The next meeting is Oct. 14, one day after Yom Kippur. The Sept. 30 gathering, honoring newly elected > ofTicers, had the largest at:. tendance ever. We celebrated the Bar Mitzvah, the 13th anniversary, of the JC Old Timers, and the original 18 members, in attendance, were asked to stand to our I applause. Mollie's centerpieces were ' gorgeous, and were among the prize drawings at each table. Other-prizes included a beautiful afghan and an apron, and a valuable glass bowl donated by Ike Friedman of Borsheims. We missed Iz and Ann Levinson, due to Iz's accident. Ed Weiner, in from Villisca, Iowa, made reservations for his mischmacha, Sol, Dik, and Howard. Secretary Dave Dvorkin announced two new lifers, courtesy of their wives, Elmer Rimmerman and Harry Finkel. Dave also announced a gift from Art and Ann Grossman honoring Mollie Ddman's birthday and their 52nd anniversary. Honorary life member, Rabbi Nadoff, regaled us i with his humor and a message. It should be noted that the rabbi did the drawing for the prizes. Art Grossman submitted Mollie Delman's name for the Jefferson award, and she placed very highly among the upwards of 100 whose names were entered, and though not the winner there, she received special : recog^tion and is our first

By Henry Stem Thariks to Commander Sol Mann and Chaplain Doc. Margolin for taking notes at the Sept. 25 gathering.
The Milton R. Abrahams branch A cool October day wanned occaBJonaJIy by the morning 8un was the setting at 90th and Browne streets Wednesday as ground was broken tor the Milton R. Abrahams branch of the Omaha Public Library. Omaha's mayor, members of the City Council and the Marching Band of Northwest High School joined with family and friends of Mr. Abrahams as he was honored for his years of service to the city's library system. Library Board President Eileen Wirth said that she had Ulked with Rabbi Sidney Brooks asking him who should be invited to the groundbreaking ceremony. MSJ Wirth said that Rabbi Brooks was unable to attend because of being out of town for High Holiday services, but as far as who should be invited, he said, "Only the whole immediate world." Mr. Abrahams told the gathering that he was honored and grateful for his name being attached to the new building. "I can't think of any other institution I would rather be so associated with," he added. The architect's rendering is of a building of 20,000 square feet and was prepared by Bahr Vermeer & Haecker. Total cost of the building, site, furniture, etc. is estimated at $2,775,000.
Next meeting at Legion HaU Oct. 23. Sol Mann reported on the POW-MIA Recognition Day events Sept. 20 at VA Center and other announcements. Sol noted that the Veterans Administration Volunteer Service advisory committee met on Sept. 24. Paul Damewood, chairman of the Latka Party in Nov., is now a certified representative to the committee. Iz Lewis reported on the Latka Party, and Quartermaster Nate Marcus discussed finances and ticket sales to the Latka Party. The more Jewish War Vets pass through the halls of the American Legion Hall, the more clout we have in combating discrimination by the right-wingers.

I don't suppose the labor leaders who make such a big megillah out of Labor Day would go along with the idea, but that's understandable. And I'm not trying to put labor down. It's only that I'm trying to figure out how we can make it more sensible. Maybe we'd better forget it. My. suggestions are always meant for the best intentions, but they don't always seem like it. Would you believe I'm still waiting to hear from the' Israeli film industry about one of my ideas? I don't know ... it seems to me a horror movie called The Knish That Ate the West Bank would be financial success, but maybe not. All I can do is try. So we'll not fool around with Labor Day. 0.K:?«

That's the signal. Maybe the name of the holiday should be changed to Signal Day. I mean it. Look at it this way. We've already agreed the day signals the end of play and the beginning of more serious stuff. The weather heeds the signal and begins the subtle change to cooler days and nights, thus signaling wardrobe changes. Face it, the entire business could be known as Signal Day.

Well, my friends, sununer is now officially over. 1 don't mean according to the calendar ... I mean according to the REAL signs. Labor Day has come and gone and the kids are officially back in school. I guess the swimming pools closed and I know the produce growers are finishing up the last of the vine ripened goodies we enjoyed from early springtime. When 1 had little kids to prepare for school, it was a time of trauma for both the kids and me. Oh, I will admit I got over MY trauma as soon as they were all gone for the entire day, but still, you know what I mean. For sure, that was when we knew it was fall. Which was probably just as well, because while I don't ever remember being sick of summer, I do very well remember getting sick of summer clothes. (I still do.) The kids wanted to wear the new sweaters and usually it was way too hot for the first weeks of the fall semester. Remember? It's a lot like wanting to wear the new wool outfit to synagogue on Rosh Hashanah, and waking up to the day to find the air balmy and a predicted high of 95. Yes, fall is a gorgeous season in this part of the country, but it's hard to know how to dress sometimes. Some things we automatically know. As soon as Labor Day has gone, so has white. I don't believe in letting the garment industry dictate anything else to me, but I do go along with that. I just don't wear anything so blatently summery as white after Labor Day.
