Senator Lautenberg to speak at Federation Pacesetter Dinner
Leonard Lewis, chairman of the 1987 Men's Federation Campaign, and Howard Kaslow, chairman of the Pacesetter Division of the 1987 Men's Campaign, an.nounced that Senator Frank J. Lautenberg will be the guest speaker at the 1987 Pacesetter Dinner to be held at the Highland Country Club on Dec. 16. Senator Lautenberg, a Democrat, serves in the United States Senate representing New Jersey and is a past national chairman of the United Jewish Appeal. "This makes him a unique speaker for our Pacesetter Dinner," Mr. Kaslow noted, "as Senator Lautenberg is not pnly knowledgeable about the United States political scene, but also has been deeply involved in Jewish causes throughout his life." The Pacesetter Dinner is the annual dinner held for those men who donate at least $6,000 to the annual Federation Campaign. It is being held in December as a continuing part of the Federation's plan to hold the annual fund-raising campaign at the same time as all of the other Federations in the NCV»««J7ihlI TO DKH-KF<27lhl«6 United States. "Traditionally, Omaha has held a spring campaign," Mr. Lewis noted, "while all the other campaigns have taken Dec. 7 at 3:30 p.m., a story hour and a place in the fall.

Synagogue role seen for sex education I^P By Mandy Frost " Synagogues should play a greater role in providing sex education to teenagers, Cory . Richards, public pdicy director, Alan Guttmacher Institute, New York and Washington, said here last week. "The Synagogue environment is a good place for teenagers to learn about respect .and getting along with one another," Mr. ' Richards said in an interview with the JewI'isli Press.

Sharansky in London by Martin Gilbert
During his week of virtually non-stop meetings in London. Sharansky was anxious to take his message to as many non-Jewish individuals and groups as possible. Among those he saw were the Prime Minister, the leaders . of the Opposition parties, the internationali affairs experts of Chatham House, and the activists of Amnesty International. It was to Amnesty International that Sharainsky made one of his most powerful presentations. Why. he asked, for all their fine record in defending political prisoners, did they give so much more space in their reports to alleged human .- rights violations in Israel than to the far more flagrant abuses of human rights in, for example, the Soviet Union? Not untypically, Sharansky then answered his own question. Israel was a democratic society, in which foreign and even hostile journalists could work freely, and where false allegations against the State could be made equally freely. He had checked some of the specific allegations made against Israel, he said, and was convinced that they were unfounded. , Sharansky then made a practical suggestion: let Amnesty International divide its reports in future into two sections. Let them list in one section such fragments of information as they could procure from totalitarian states. And let them list in a second and quite separate section the far more readily available information and allegations concerning countries in the free world. To Amnesty International as to each non-Jewish group he had been asked to meet, Sharansky contrasted the relatively small number of prisoners and activists among the I Soviet dissident and minority groups (Armenians, Crimean Tatars etc.) with the great scale of the Jewish movement, the unremitting pressures against it, and the plight of its prisoners. At one informal meeting, the leader of the Social Democrat Party, Dr. David Owen, a former British Foreign Secretary, expressed concern to Sharansky that Jews fought ; only for Jews, and mentioned his personal concern about 'the plight of the Pentacostalists in Russia. Sharansky was polite but firm. The Jewish movement was not only by far the largest movement for emigration in Russia, he said, but also the only movement which had as its goal the destination of Israel, which the Soviets had in the past found acceptable, as opposed to the totally unacceptable goal of general emigration, or internal change. Sharansky went on to explain to Dr. Owen that in addition to the "unique" scale and status of the Jewish movement in Russia, individual Jews like himself had always championed the rights of other groups inside the Soviet Union, even when to do sp was dangerous.

As Sharansky explained it to those he sat with: "the key word to open the gates for the Jews of the Soviet Union and to help them to reach Israel, is linkage." He always stressed however that for such linkage to work, western public opinion must be able to see the Soviet Jewry issue "as their own," and western leaders had to be convinced "that in defending Soviet Jews they are defending their own interests." Soviet Jews, he explained to his non-Jewish listeners, were the "soldiers" in the forefront of the struggle between East and West. To fight for their emigration "helps to strengthen the position of democracy all over the world." To abandon Soviet Jews was to abandon the basis of one's own democratic beliefs. Sharansky had to tread a difficult path. Many of the nonJews to whom he spoke (and many of the Jews too) had heard of Dr. Begun, Ida Nudel or Vladimir Slepak and wished to do something for them, for the big names. Sharansky did not belittle this: after all, they were some of his best friends. "Of course a very important part of the struggle is to release our most dramatic cases," he would reply. They, the prisoners and former prisoners, and the longest of the long term refuseniks, were the "tragic cases" of the movement. But making "step by step concessions to Gorbachev" for individual cases woiild be a long and slow process. If it were to be the only process, "we will never have real emigration to Israel." To make linkage work, Sharansky explained, it was essential to "link the interests and needs of the Soviet Union not only with a few individual cases, but with the whole question." For a real change in Soviet policy there had to be persistent diplomacy, public pressure, substantial protests, and above all linkage at every level; anything less could never help the 400,000 who had already indicated, and with risk to themselves, that they wished to leave. One of Sharansky's greatest fears, which he often voiced during his London visit, was that the Soviet Union would once more succeed in, as he put it, "quietening us down" before future Summits, just as they had done before the Geneva Summit of November, 1985. This fear gave him an added sense of urgency in asking each non-Jewish group he met to insist that every negotiation between the Soviet Union and the West "must lead" (these were his words) "to giving Soviet Jews the opportunity to leave for Israel" As a Jew who had been living in Israel for less than eight months, Sharansky made an impressive emissary: both for the State to which he long ago had turned his hopes, and for the Russian Jews whom he hod been forced to leave jbehind. Even if those to whom Sharansky appealed for liiikage did not always respond as enthusiasticaUy as they might have done, they were left in no doubt, at the end of his six day marathon, as to his determination to see evei^ Soviet Jew who wished to live in Israel being allowed to do so.

of the Moscow Helsitiki watchdog group in 1976. he himself had frequently alerted the West to the plight not only of the very Pentacostalists about whom Dr. Owen was so concerned, but of many other minority and dissident groups. Sharansky was repeatedly shocked at his meetings with so-called "experts" by their basic lack of knowledge of the scale and nature of the Jewish struggle inside Russia, and its harsh plight today. Few of the non-Jews seemed aware that 400,000 Jews had already asked for the "invitation" from Israel as a first step to getting an exit visa, or that 12,000 had been refused their exit visas (some for more than sixteen years), or that there were at least fifteen Jews still in prison, half of them Hebrew teachers. I happened to be in the room when a distinguished British scientist asked him: "One hears that people are permitted to leave; my general impression is that the trend is upwards, towards liberal emigration." Calmly, patiently, not belittling or talking down, Sharansky answered. The gates were now virtually closed. Emigration was at "its lowest point" for many years. The situation of the long term refuseniks had become even worse. "In 1973," he said, "when I became a refusenik, to be two or three years in refusal sounded awful. Now it is twelve, fourteen, more; it discourages many others—those who want to apply to leave—from applying." At one moment during his talks with Mrs. Thatcher, Sharansky described how he had been punished in labour camp for refusing to give up his tiny book of Psalms. "Why didn't you give it up?" asked the Prime Minister. "Because it was from Avital," he replied. There were tears in Mrs. Thatcher's eyes. Of all those to whom Sharansky e3q>Iained "linkage," Mrs. Thatcher was the one who seemed most fully to grasp its importance and its implications: that all Western negotiations, cultural exchanges, transfers of technology, agreements on food, agreements on trade, and economic concessions, should be "linked" with the test of Soviet performance on the Jewish issue. That performance had to be a real one. "The right of Jews to leave," Sharansky urged, had to be accepted first, and acted on, before any agreement was signed in any sphere. Nothing less than this, no relaxation of linkage simply because a "famous" person like himself had been released, could secure the release of the 400,000. or even of the 12,000 long-term refuseniks. "Linkage" became Sharansky's word: the message he sought above all others to convey: the key to a return to the 50,000 rate of emigration of 1979. And that message was impressively conveyed: on two popular television talk shows, in Press interviews with all the major newspapers, and in a particularly thoughtful meeting with senior officials at the Foreign Office.

(0)Mir uman^ m nsirai(^ll Alice Shalvi— soft spoken revolutionary Ransoming captives I can see it now. An Indian chief rides up to an American officer who looks like Ronald Reagan—after all this vision of mine is a B movie—and the chief says: "White man, you speak with forked tongue!" Well, this isn't a movie. We're talking about reality, the reality of the United States trading arms to Iran in return for the freeing ef American hostages. Americans are terribly bothered by the apparent "forked tongue" expression. On the one hand, we tell the world that we are serious about terrorism, that we will not deal with terrorists, and then we demonstrate that we mean what we say. We go ahead and bomb Libya to show the seriousness of our policy, and ultimately we even withdraw our ambassador from Syria to display our displeasure with that nation. So, the United States appears to be consistent and hard line with its attitude toward terrorists and the nations that support terrorists. Cough, cough, and it's clear throat time. With the other side of the tongue, our leader allegedly is courting the Iranians for the freeing of American hostages. Their price, which we seem willing to pay, is arms. Now, Jews above all people may understand what is going on better than most ethnic and religious groups. The ransoming of captives is one of the traditions in Jewish life expressing and encouraging feelings of compassion and solidarity. Fulfillment of this mitzvah was regarded by the rabbis of the Talmud as of paramount importance and Maimonides explained that the duty of ransoming captives supersedes the duty of charity to the poor. However, our tradition also made it clear that to avoid the extraction of exorbitant ransom payments or repeated kidnapping by captors, the rabbis ordained that captives should be redeemed only at their market value as slaves. This, unfortunately, is the issue that the American people will have to deal with. As Congress conducts its investigation into the alleged arms/hostage exchange, the question Americans will be a3king is as follows: Are we paying too high a price to ransom the captives? The price that we are paying is enormous. The credibility of the United States of America is at stake. Can our public utterances be respected as truth, or must everything we say or do be suspect? Are we a country of principles, or prices? We constantly say that we have trouble negotiating with the Soviet Union, because we can't trust their leadership. What about our leaders? The Encylopedia Judaica devotes much space to the ransoming of captives, because this practice has been a part of Jewish Ufe for thousands of years. As Jews, we understand the community's need and responsibiUty to ransom captives, but we must ask in this particular case: Are we paying an exorbitant price and suggesting to terrorists that the United States of America speaks with a forked tongue?

HAIFA - When avowed anti-religious secularists do battle against the Orthodox in Israel—a battle which of late has taken the form also of the burning of synagogues and the desecration of holy texts-they fail to win. the sympathy and support of the large majority of Israelis who, though they may not be fuUy observant, still retain many traditional memories and observances. The failure to make any dent in Orthodox inflexibility is perhaps due to the fact that for the most part the public struggle in Israel has heretofore been led by the extremists of the other side. But when enlightened religious persons, many of them devoutly Orthodox in the best traditional sense, take up the cudgels, the picture begins to look different. There are many Orthodox Jews in Israel today who believe that present narrow interpretation of halacha (the religious law) on some issues is as irrational and out of place in Israel, as the long black coats which were adopted as "traditional" garb in the wintry clime of eastern Europe, but are completely unsuited to Israel's weather. The leaders of the revolt against Orthodox rigidity in Israel include an ever-growing body of Orthodox women, personally observant, who object to the uncompromising attitude which in many cases subjects women to restrictions and inequalities that are inconsistent with the times in which we live. Not long ago we met with Prof. Alice Shalvi, head of the Jewish Women's Network, a non-party lobby and pressure group, which seeks to influence the country's decisionmakers, both in the rabbinate and in the Knesset. Their immediate goal is to bring about a change in the status of women before the rabbinical courts of the country, and she cites some 200 pending and dragged-out cases in which women are denied divorces or adequate appeal—simply because they are women. From there, Alice Shalvi would go further, and she spelled out for us an outline of a broad program of radical reform. Prof. Shalvi was bom in Germany, went with her family to England in 1934, and from there to Israel in 1949. She is professor of English at the Hebrew University and principal of the famous Pelech School, a religious experimental school for girls. She considers herself Orthodox. In her attempts to reason with the country's religious authorities she has thus far made little headway. She had one confrontation with the chief rabbinate, but thereafter faced a closed door. She insists that all the reforms she seeks can be achieved within halacha, but for the present even liberal-minded Orthodox rabbis are too timid to stir. She does not see her place in the Conservative movement because she is convinced that the Orthodox will yet find their way to mod-
ernize within the confines of a halacha which she considers broad and comprehensive, if only interpreted properly. The soft-spoken mother of six and grandmother of seven believes that the rabbis who have put a stranglehold on progress can be moved and influenced by the source from which they draw their legal power—secular legislation. Why not, she asks. Matters of personal status {marriage, divorce, etc.) were handed over to the contrd of the religious authorities by the Knesset in 1953, and from this they draw their civil authority. Since the rabbinate refuses to reform from within, there is need for imposition of new civil legislation. In short, she advocates a total reform, but all within religious halacha, she insists. Her chief target is the rabbinical authority in Israel which, she says, does not have the courage to face up to the need for change—and again she emphasizes that she speaks as an Orthodox woman who faithfully subscribes to the basic ritual tenets of Judaism, like Shabbat, kashrut, etc. The Women's Network, which she heads, includes representatives of most women's organizations in Israel, although the participation of some of the religious bodies is qualified. She does not like to be branded a feminist because of the many negative connotations attached to that word since the days of the burning of bras, yet she is also concerned with the image of women as presented in the media, and she does battle for equal rights in secular as well as in religious life. At the Pelech schod, which she heads, women are trained for independent thought and realization of their individual status. The experience at Pelech also indicates that girls achieve more in a wide range of subjects when taught in an all-girls school, because they are not overawed by the legend that boys are naturally superior in some fields. Some of the things Alice Shalvi advocates run counter to commonly accepted Orthodox practice. She insists there is no halachic reason why women can not be counted for a minyan or even serve as rabbis. However, these things are not an issue in Israel because the synagogue is not central to Jewish life here. She is not prepared to go to the barricades for these issues—yet. Her immediate goal is to obtain relief for the many women who have been victimized by the all-male rabbinical courts, and then move on to drafting of Knesset legislation which, though she does not put it that way, would be a long step toward separation of church and state in Israel. The voice of Alice Shalvi is being heard loud and clear in Israel these days.
A shining example By Ebric Rozenman Near East Report An American back in the States after six years of study and work in Israel-most of that time spent in Jerusalemcalls the split between the country's secular and Orthodox Jews "frightening." Nahman Raz, chairman of Knesset's Education Committee, says that hostility between secular and religious Jewish school children exceeds that shown by Jewish students toward Arabs. The question of whether Israel should be a state of the Jews or a Jewish state has bedeviled the country from its founding in 1948. Political crises stemming from synagogue-state matters have brought down goverimients. The split has intensified in recent years, sometimes breaking into violence, including the stoning of cars being driven on the Sabbath and the desecration of synagogues and religious schods. Last week a Reform rabbi in Jerusalem filed charges against an Orthodox rabbi after the latter allegedly disrupted Simchat Torah celebrations and tried to seize Torah scrolls. But there are individuals and organizations working to bridge the gap, to promote tolerance, understanding and Jewish unity. One such organization is Machon Meir, an Orthodox, 2^onist yeshiva in Jerusalem. Founded by Dov Begun, a kibbutznik and paratrooper tiuned rabbi, Machon Meir began with 16 students, all Israelis, soon after the 1973 Yom Kippur War. It now has an enrollment of 350—240 men, and 110 women in the separate, related Machon Ora. Students come from Israel, the United States, Ethiopia, South Africa, Europeon countries and elsewhere. Many are college graduates and some have graduate degrees. Others are young professionals taking time off from careers "to absorb a little of what they feel they didn't get, or lost, when they were younger," said Rabbi Meyer Fendel, director of the women's program. Fendel and Rabbi Zvi Klamen, director of the men's En^h-speaking division, explained that neither Begun nor the philosophy of Rabbi Abraham I. Kook—which underlies much of the center's curricula'-seea an inherent conflict between being Jewish and b^ing modem. Similarly, Machon Meir teac^s that there n»ed ]>e QQ otasb between
Judaism and Zionism. Kook taught that Israel, the result of political Zionism, could be viewed as a stage in Jewish (and worldly) redemption. He was Israel's first chief rabbi and is now cited as an inspiration for several differing religious and political schools of thought. The search for synthesis distinguishes Machon Meir from yesbivot run by some ultra-Orthodox sects which see Jewish practice and modernity at odds with each other. These yesbivot teach that only the messiah can herald creation of a Jewish state, not politicians. Absent from Machon Meir are the black hats and dark frock coats which mark many yeshiva students and very Orthodox Jews. "These aren't the essentials," Fendel said. And although many students at the center could be considered baale tsbuva, newly-observant, "we don't ask them to tear themselves away from their past, from their family and friends," he said. "They feel part of the mainstream of life." The institute believes in "building the country, so there is a strong sense of pride in Israel," Fendel added. And Klaman explained that as part of a special program in Biblical studies, "after they leam it, we take them to the sites where it happened," to link the Torah and Israel, present and past. "Even the non-religious recognize we are something different, a bridge," Klaman' said. The institute tries to make connections with the secular community and with the ultra-Orthodox, the baredim. . Machon Meir's quarters in converted apartment buildings appear crowded but effiknent. Student fees do not cover all costs, and funds from the government and Jewish Agency "have pretty much dried up," Klaman said. Nonpolitical and without a base of overseas donors like those of some other yes/u'vot, the center puts most of whatever new funds it gets into student programs, not into physical expansion. Nevertheless, the institute keeps its focus on a central idea, its rabbis say, to provide a model that puts eternal— Jewish values at the center of modem life—and promoted^ Jewish solidarity. They cite a rabbinic saying to the effe^B that the Second Temple fell because pf unwarranted hatred between fellow Jaws, and the Third Temple will rise because of love, even unwarranted love, anumg the Jewish people.

4k(E oUFS (C©rim(Er by Glen Fineman Executive director, Jewish Family Service
Many of you have had questions regarding Jewish Family Service's pregnancy counseling and adoption program. This week's "Corner" will attempt to present an overview of our services in these areas. The JFS problem pregnancy counseling program is free of charge and open to any woman regardless of race or religion. We counsel the woman to make the best choice for herself regarding her pregnancy while helping her to obtain good medical care, find financial resources and locate housing if necessary. Counseling services around the pregnancy issue are also available free of charge to prospective fathers and/or family of the pregnant woman. If the pregnant client should choose adoption for the child, JFS, as a nonprofit licensed adoption agency, will be able to place the child with a Jewish couple who has an approved home study. During the home study process, our adoption worker, Alice Weiss, will meet with prospective adoptive parents to discuss reasons for seeking adoption as weU as to explore feelings regarding family, marriage and children. Family service considers the home study as educational as well as evaluative. It provides both the opportunity to get to know prospective parents during
this process, and gives them the opportunity to learn about adoption dynamics within families as well as adoption resources in the community, to better prepare them for adoptive parenting. As everyone knows, there are fewer and fewer white, healthy infants available for adoption. Because of this situation, Jewish couples who are interested in adoptive parenting can explore other options. JFS will assist Jewish couples in adopting special needs children; children who are physically, mentally or emotionally handicapped, mixed race or of an older age. Other options include appl}ring at local agencies that have non-sectarian eligibility requirements and seeking a private adoption situation through an attorney. Nebraska law requires a home study to be completed by a licensed child placement agency before an adopticwi can be finalized. JFS is available to conduct a home study for private adoptions and can send complete home studies to other agencies for their use. We hope this article was able to answer some of your questions regarding our pregnancy counseling and adoption program. Please feel free to call Alice Weiss, 330-2024, if you would like further information about these services.

Remember when you were a little kid and people used to ask "what do you want to be when you grow up?" 1 went through various stages—I read ab<nit Clara Barton and wanted to be a nurse. Then I remembered I hated how my knees looked when I scraped them on the sidewalk. I read about Ameha Earhart and for a while thought I 'd be (what was then caUed) an Aviatrix.

Parashat Lekh Lekha When did monotheiam begin? More than a few times I have spoken to Christian groups on "The Religion of the Pharisees." The subject is always meant to catch attention, for in the New Testament the word "Pharisee" becomes a synonym for "hypocrite," or, at best, someone who is given to emphasize the formalities of religion and forget what religion is really about. I like to read some of the moral judgments of the Pharisees and describe their "religion" as it really was, to indicate that they were the moral teachers of Judaism and Christianity. And sometimes I have given as a subject for term papers something like, "The Religiao of the Second Commonwealth." The subject is meant to indicate that the religious approach of Jews who returned to Israel after the Babylonian Exile was not at all the same as the religious approach of preExilic times. Now here is another question: What was the religion of the Patriarchs? Oiu' Sidrah introduces us to Abraham. For the rest of the Book of Genesis we will be reading about Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph, the three, c»' four. Patriarchs of the Jewish.people, according to the narrative of Genesis. If we have little historical sense we are tempted to think that their Judaism was the same as ours. Rabbinic Judaism later tries to say that they did many things and observed many rites and mitzvot that developed only later in time, that came, to put it in traditional tenns, cnly with Mattan Torah, the Giving of the Torah. But what really was the religion of Abraham? Rabbinic midrash finds Abraham to be an idol-smasher and a bit of a thecdogian: He
discovered the presence of God in the world, one God. It is certainly true that Abraham, in the Biblical narrative, has only one God, and follows Him faithfully. Yet the whole narrative leaves out important elements that became essential parts of monotheism in later times. Ezekiel Kaufman, the late Israeli Bible commentator, has pointed out that Abraham's religion did not have prophecy—as we know it from the Bible; it did not have encounters with idolatry or attempts to root out idolatry; and it did not even have the famous Tetragrammat(m (name of God), which enabled later monotheistic generations to focus their attention on their one God, and to contrast their God with the gods of the heathens. Kaufman was an astute student and a perceptive reader of Scripture. His comments are always illuminating and challenging, though sometimes (like this one) not acceptable to the more traditionally minded. At the very least, with comments like Kaufman's before us, we learn to read the Bible with a more careful—and perhaps more critical—eye. We still find it to our liking to can Abraham the first Jew, to undertake with him . the brave abandonment of his native land for the perils of the long journey to an unknown land, the willingness to follow God's lead and to show faithftilness and trust. But we still wonder, what really was his religion? How did he think of God? What religious mitzvot, if any I, did he have? What feetivids, if any I, did he observe? Had he ever heard of the Sabbath? Did he think of himself as religiously different from his neighbors, Mesopotamiana, and from his new ndg^bors, the Canaanites? . WouM he acknowledge us as his descendants?

Upstairs adds melodrama, T im®.irirn(gdl subtracts men's neckties LEVY-CARROLL After a trip to San Fran"The Dirty Deed," a melodrama with a vaudevillian olio, opened this week at the Upstairs Dinner Theatre. Showing on Wednesday nights only, "The Dirty Deed" will provide a unique type of dinner theater, using the old fashioned melodrama style. "My Fair Lady," the current Upstairs mainstajge show, continues to play through Jan. 18. According to Upstairs producer Deborah Denenberg, "The Dirty Deed" is intended to be a relaxed evening of entertainment. "Blue jeans are the dress code and if men wear neckties, they'll be asked to check them at the coat check," she added. Another unique aspect of "The Dirty Deed" is its corporate sponsor, Old Milwaukee Beer. Tony Howard of Nebraska Distributing, distributors of Old Milwaukee, said they are happy to be associated with the production. "We're most pleased
with the high caliber of talent at the Upstairs," he said. "The Dirty Deed" incorporates some familiar local names and follows the traditional melodrama format. Set in Rivercity, a town somewhere in the midwest in the 1890'8, the tale tells of a fair heroine with a deed—that an evil villain wants. Featured as the Famam Street Rangers, a boist^ous band of noble hearted youths, are Eric Potter, Jimmy Freidlander and Darci Holmes. The (dio, a vaudevillian revue of song, dance and comedy, wiU follow the melodrama. Featured in the olio are a number of song and dance routines from days of yesteryear plus some humorous gags in between. For information and reservations, contact the Upstairs at (4021 344-7777 or stop by the theater located at 221 South 19th Street.
