ADL honors John Kenefick; Hal Daub to visit Israel By Monis Maline The Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith honored Union Pacific's John Kenefick with the League's American Heritage Award and, in turn; was paid tribute by state leaders including Governor-Elect Kay Orr. Nearly-500 paid $ 125 per plate to attend the event Tuesday night at Peony Park. Rep. Hal Daub, one of the speakers, utilized the occasion to announce that he will be' ' visiting Israel next month on a fact-finding tour. Mrs. Orr, in her first major appearance before a Jewish organization since winning the November election and emefging aa the first R^ublican woman governor in the nation, praised ADL for its national Civil Rights leadership and Mr. Kenefick as a "giant of American raiboading." Rep. Daub said the battle against racism, bigotry and violoice is being won in this country, and it's being won because of the persistence of groups like the AntiDefamation League. "Perseverance is the key to the struggle," he said, adding that the ADL's long struggle against violence and prqodke suggests that perseverence is "your hallmark and one secret of your success throughout this century." He said, violence against Jews in the United States unfortunately must still be watched. "It is not certain that , the fikleouB face of Anti-Seiiiitiam has been laid to rest here. However, it is the international vicdence against Jews that is the most intense. In this conneedon, Israd is at the forefront of the strug'.gle bacauae larad is the historical home of Judaism and its spiritual fond," he added. . "Unfortunately, these attributes also make it the relentless targot of bigots and the dqiraved." "Next month I will be traveliJig to Israel on a tour to observe firsthand the security aituation in the region. •| am giiliigH iititiiii a lni<a aiiiiaiitaialiHg iif lliniiiiii pie and th«.dreaiiQ which make uti tUs tiny, but tough, democracy floatiDg in a sea of hostile dictatorshqw. "It's said that the life of America is but a'short story compared to the novel-length experience of our European farefathers. The life of Israel, conceived just under 40 years ago, is even shorter than that of AmerictL." Yet in many ways Israel has faced challenges much greater than tboee die United States met in her early years.

Federation approves $2,463,319 budget for next year
The Jewish Federation of Omaha has approved a -^2,463,319 budget for 1987, approximately $150,000 more than 1986. The 1987 budget, improved unanimously by the Federation's Board of Directors at its November meeting, provides funds to the United Jewish Appeal, national and overseas redpiaits as well as the Omaha Federation and its agencies. According to Robert Gordman, chairman. Budget and Allocations Committee, the 1987 total represents a deficit budget of $6,058. "We are comfortable with doing this because it (the deficit) represents one-third of one per cent of our entire operation, and we believe in the additional packages we are recommending. "in addition, it is now certain that the 1986 Campaign will exceed $2,000,000 by several thousand ddlars, and that we will end 1986 with a small excess of revenue over John C.

Architect selected
oint.
WASHINGTON (JTA) James Ingo Freed, of I.M. Pei and Partner, has been selected as the design architect for the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, it was announced here by Arthur Rosenblatt, the museum's director. Mr. Freed, 56, was the principal design architect for the newly completed Jacob Javits Exposition and Convention Center in New York City. Bom in Essen, Germany, he and his family came to the U.S. in 1940. "The Holocaust in its enormity defies language and art, yet both must be used to tell the tale, the tale that must be told," Elie Wiesel, chairman of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council, said. "In James Freed we have found an architect who can master this unique challenge." The Memorial Council is conducting a $100 million fund-raising campaign for the museum which will be located on government property adjoining the National Mall. The museum will house a Hall of Witness, telling the story of the Holocaust; a memorial Hall of Remembrance, exhibition halls, a Holocaust library and archives, a Learning Center and two theaters. Mr. Rosenblatt said that plans now call for the museum to be completed in 1989.
Jewish Family Service is making plans to provide holiday meals for local families in need and is asking community members to donate nonperishable Kosher foods to needy Jewish families. Place your food dohations in the Tzedakah Bin located in the lobby of the Jewish Community Center. Anyone interested in volunteering an hour or two of time on Dec. 18 may call Alice Weiss at 330-2024.
Major test ROME (JTA)-The 12th Quadrennial Congress of the Union of Italian Jewish Conmiunities (UIJC) ended on a strong note of unity and with a newly discovered capacity to "speak out" on the part of Italy's 40,000 Jews. That capacity, and the community's new spirit of fraternal collaboration with the Vatican will be put to its first major test in the weeks ahead by the UIJC's unequivocal stand against the 1985 accord between the Education Ministry and the Catholic Episcopal Conference which introduced the teaching of the Catholic religion in the Italian school system at all grade levels. That was one of the issues which dominated the threeday Congress. CLIF> AND SAVE-

GONE!!! Wiesenthal Center honors hero At the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles, Aristides de Sousa Mendes, a neglected hero of the Holocaust, was awarded the Center's Scroll of Honor posthumously, in a ceremony attended by his surviving children and over 100 community members. As a Portuguese consul in 1940, Aristides de Sousa Mendes defied his country's orders to stop issuing-visas, and subsequently saved an estimated 30,000 refugees, indndiiig 10,000-16.000 Jews—as the Nazis pursued them into southem France. He was pnniahed for his disobedience by the Portuguese dictatorship, which stripped him of his diplomatic title and bailed him from practidng his law profession.

Herzog to visit West Germany JERUSALEM (JTA) President Chaim Herzog has announced that he will make a State visit to West Germany early next year. It is intended to reciprocate the visit to Israel last year by West German President JUchard von Weiszacker. According to the an^nouncement by Herzog's of,fice, he will "imbue the visit with the symbolic and edu-
atOUial eobttat'Ot yhkar
(remembrance) in order to strengthen world awareness of the Holocaust which has been fading." Herzog's military aide, C<d. Ami Gluska, said the focal point of the trip would be a gathering at the site of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, which will give the President's visit its historical context. The announcement produced mixed reactions. Some public figures questioned the propriety of Is-
rael's chief of state visiting the country where the Holocaust was conceived. The President's office said Herzog had consulted with senior ministers and the trip was {^proved unanimously by the Cabinet. Vice Premier and Foreign Minister Shimon Peres vigorously defended Herzog's plans. He said Israel's relationship with Germany ' had 'to be forward looking while never forgetful of the past. "If we want to have normal relations with a country, there have to be reciprocal visits at various levels," Peresrsaid. Premier Yitzhak Shamir, meanwhile, came to the defense of Herzog's two-week tour of Australia, New Zealand, Southeast Asia and Sri Lanka which ended last week amid controversy. Shamir sSid critics of that trip spoke from ignorance. The Ihvsident, he said, suc-
ceeded in bringing Israel's message to an important part of the world where it had not been heard. Shamir's remarks were an indirect swipe at Likud Ubo-al MK Pinhas Goldstein, who charged that Herzog's trip was poorly planned and that the President Was inadequately briefed by his aides and the government. He was referring to poUtibal embarrassments encountered by Herzog in Australia and New Zealand and anti-Israel demonstrations that greeted him in Singapore. Goldstein introduced a Knesset motion to debate the planning of the trip. Shamir lundbed with Herzog on Monday and received a first-hand report on the Presklent's journey. Herzog will brief the Knesset Foi^ eign Affairs and Security Committee on his trip next week.

On praising Vanunu
Israeli Knesset member Rabbi Meir Kahane has come up with a new twist. ... „ . Unlike most of his Israeli contemporaries, Rabbi Kahane believes that Mordechai Vanunu did a good thing by leaking information about Israel's nuclear capabilities. "Let the Arabs know that Israel does have nuclear weapons and will certainly use them if its existence is endangered ... Vanunu should be praised for helping put the fear of God and Israel into the Arabs," Kahane is quoted. On the other hand, Rabbi Kahane will argue that Vanunu should be jailed for "betraying the Jewish people by converting to Christianity, and for undermining Israel by his activities in Communist and pro-Arab organizations."
Soviet deception You may recall reading recently that the Soviet Union has issued new regulations on emigration, and perhaps you wondered how the regulations might impact on Jews desiring to leave. Well, Morris B. Abram, chairman of the National Conference on Soviet Jewry and of the Conference iSf Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations has told a news conference:. "The decree of the USSR's Council of Ministers, issued Nov. 6, offers little hope for an early rise in emigration from the Soviet Union, now at its lowest level in 15 years." "It is propaganda designed to deceive the West."
Hadassah clears air Those of us in the publishing business wrestle constantly with the ethics involved in accepting or rejecting advertisements. Thus, we extend our congratulations to Hadassah Magazine for its decision to discontinue cigarette advertising effective with its January issue. In giving up tobacco advertising, Hadassah will give up 20 per cent of its advertising revenue. It's a tough business decision, but ethically, the decision is 100 per cent on target.

HAIFA — The truly significant element in the award of the Nobel Prize to Elie Wiesel is not so much the man who was honored, as the subject which he had come to symbolize before the world—the Holocaust. It is a subject which continues to torment not only the remaining survivors, but also the psychologists, the philost^hers, the historians, the theologians, and all thinking people who seek to understand how a cultured and civilized state could have perpetrated such a horrendous atrocity on such a scale. There are questions which all of us can ponder, and to which few of us can find satisfactory replies. The Holocaust remains an inexhaustible source of research, study and retrospection. Haifa University rendered a major service, not long ago, when its Strochlitz Institute of Holocaust Studies, sponsored a five-day International Congress, the object of which was to explore the world's comprehension of the tragedy. Some of the greatest scholars and historians in the field—men like Prof. Raul Hilberg. Prof. George Steiner, Prof. Randolph Braham and Prof. Elie Wiesel were among the speakers, and they offered brilliant presentations on every major aspect of the theme. We were most impressed, however, by the approach of the Israeli literary personality, Aharon Meged. His provocative subject was entitled, "I Was Not There," and what he had to say was so stimulating that in retrospect we are not quite dear what we should ascribe to him, and what emerged from our o?vn thoughts in response to his words. At the outset Meged made it clear that all he has read and aU the information and facts he has amasse^d have not
Hate comes to campus By Eric Rozenman Near East Report Lisa Berg, a sophomore at Cornell University, was one of more than 200 students who hear4self-8tyled revolutionary Kwame Toure deliver anti-capitalist, anti-Reagan, antiZionist bombast on campus early this month. According to Berg, a campus liaison for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee's Political Leadership Development program, the speaker attacked the "Zioni^ entity" (Israel) and asserted, "I will use bullets and guns to kill Zionists." Many of the black students in the crowd—almost evenly divided between blacks and whites—and some of the whitra "applauded everything he said," Berg noted. "He got a standing ovation at the end." During the question-and-answer period she took the microphone anil said, "I'm a Jew. I love Israel and consider myself a Zionist. Would you shoot me?" "You don't know what Zionism is... " Toure retorted. Then, as Berg explained, "he tried to turn all my words around and say I didn't understand" Judaism or Zionism. She took his response as a "yes,", but to be sure tried to ask her questions again. Then, "my mike was turned off. Some people were yelling, 'Shut up!'and'He's already answered your question.' " In a perverse way thanks are due Toure (Stokeley Carmichael in a previous incarnation). His campus lecture circuit—which also has included the University of Pennsylvania, UCLA, Brooklyn College and, in the Washington, D.C. area, Howard, American and Maryland universities—provides an antidote to complacency. It reminds us of the enduring power of hatred, the eternal appeal of scapegoating, and the "entertainment" value of incitement. It also illustrates—through the timidity of university authorities—the abuse of free speech as the last refuge of the racist. At Maryland later in the month Toure embellished his Cornell performance. Having worked as a warm-up act for Louis Farrakhan at Madison Square Garden last year, Toure borrowed some of the former's rhetoric and informed Maryland students that Zionism was "Satan in disguise." He claimed that the philosophy of Jewish national liberation transformed Judaism into "a gutter religion" and called Jewish students in the audience "Zionist pigs." As Stokeley Carmichael two decades ago Toure was credited with coining the phrase "black power." He broke with the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, which he headed, and became "prime minister" of the militant Black Panthers. Moving progressively toward violence, toward uncompromising hostility toward whites, he left the Panthers and moved to Africa. In Guinea, under Ahmed Sekou Toure's brutal regime, he fabricated a pan-African revolutionary ideology. He also supported Uganda's murderous Idi Amin. Back in the United States, as Kwame Toure, he founded the "AllAfrican People's Revolutionar3^Party." Toure uses the "party's" hodge-podge of Marxist primitivism and hoary European anti-Semitism to wow them on campus. At Maryland last Februaiy Toure declared that "the only good Zionist is a dead Zionist." In November, while a standin^room-only crowd of about) 800 mostly approving students listened, anothar 300 and 400-iDduding students from IQllel,' the Jewish Students^Organizatiim, the College Republicans, College Young Danocrats and some frater (CoBtinned on Page 6)

brought him any closer to a true understanding of what really occurred. The mental and psychological scars on the survivors are deep and almost incomprehensible. Many continue to suffer from a fixation, a sense as if some guilt attaches to them for having survived, while all those around them went to their death. Today there is a whole generation which was not yet bom when Hitler let loose his terror in Europe. No matter how many times the story may be told, this {generation finds it difficult to find any sense of personal association with the Holocaust. It is something that happened in history, a long time ago, relatively, like the tortures of Torquemada in Spain, or the Cossack pogroms in Russia. It is something we read about in books. In Israel every attempt is made to render the Holocaust personally relevant by special courses in the schools, by organized visits to places like Yad Vashem or the Ghetto Fighters' House, and by public observances. Meged concentrates on the generation to which he belongs—those who were alive at the time but were not there, and were hardly aware of the enormity of the crime that was being committed. What a meagre and paltry defense we put up when we say: "We didn't know, but even if we did, what could we have done?" Meged: "I was here in the Land of Israel Life here was 'normal' then, even cheerful, as I can remember. The cafes were full, theatres were playing comedies, the economy prospered on war production, pcditical parties were quibbling about their hair splitting differences of ideologies ... business as usual." And Jews in the United States and elsewhere, did they not carry on with their business and family and social affairs without any thought that at the very moment of their festivities, Jews in Europe were being shot and gassed and burned? What lesson has been drawn from that darkest period in the history of mankind? Meged asks. And his answer: "No lesson at all." One might have expected a change of heart, of spirit, of morals would come over the world—a change in relationships between man and man, nation and nation, race and race. No change has occured, and the peoples and nations continue in their petty ways. Who can ever say there will never again be tmother Holocaust? It may not take the same forms, but it may be equally hideous in its results. Who can say that the Soviet Government is no less capable than cultured, civilized, intellectual Germany, of seeking the destruction of a people by one means or another—and if so, what is this generation doing to prevent it? Or sTiall the Jews Qi this day say in the future, as their fathers said forty and more years ago—we did not know—and eyen if we suspected or feared, what could we do? There are heroes during the Holocaust; most of them died martyrs' deaths>There are heroes in the Soviet Union today—men and women of courage and daring, of passionate hope and faith. What are we doing to help them overcome their enemies, maintain their spirits, and survive, physically and spiritually—we, who are not there?

Personal revelations on seeing SHOAH By Dr. Martin RoMnbcrg, aMbtant profa Why do I feel compelled to write this? I can claim no special knowledge of the Holocaust. Like most American Jews I feel the need to attempt to comprehend this heinous crime. As a father, I must try to find a way to convey to my children what happened and to give them some comprehension of the most tragic part of their Jewish heritage. As a historian, I agree with Santayana that "those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it." As the son of a man who emigrated from Poland around 1930, I was struck while watching Shoah that had my father waited to leave Poland, I would probably not have been bom. Ultimately, however, I am writing to relieve the weight of the revelations brought forth by Lanzmann's film, which seem to press on my chest like a heavy stone, by sharing these thoughts with others. The mind recoils at the enormity of the crime—6,000,000 Jews and countless others systematicaUy exterminated. The sheer numbers threaten our comprehension until Lanzmann lets us see and hear the two survivors among the 400,000 who died at Chelmno. As we face these lone witnesses, we feel with a new clarity, in our minds and hearts, the loss of ^ the others, people like us, with all their hopes, dreams and human potential. Deep down inside, we would all like to believe that people are fundamentally good. To tUaintain this notion in the face of the Holocaust, we must distance ourselves from these events by encapsulating them in history. We must believe that Hitler was able to seize a unique set of circumstances in which he could plan and largely accomplish the extermination of an entire people. Yet by exposing the very "bureaucracy of destruction," Lanzmann forces us to realize that much of the daily business of annihilation was simply "business as usual" for thousands of ordinary people, most of whom were not Nazis. With perfect equanimity, the same petty bureaucrat sent one train to a vacation resort and the next to the death camps. The Germans' wellkilown efficiency and attention to detail could easily be turned to grease the wheels of the Nazis' engine of human destruction. In another way, Raul Hilberg, a historian of the Holocaust, destroys our sense of the uniqueness of these events. He points out that although the "final solution" was unprecedented, every step which led up to it—the legal restrictions, the confinement to a ghetto, the propaganda tac-

tics used to fuel anti-Semitism among ordinary people, and even the mass expulsions—had ample precedent in nistory. As we listen to ordinary Poles, Germans and others discuss the Jews who vanished from their midst, with thinly-veiled envy or contempt, we realize that Hitler did not have to create the anti-Semitism which so facilitated his plan to destroy the Jews, he only had to capitalize on it. That frightening potential to see another group of people as "different," that facili£y which lies at the root of all prejudices, is present to a degree in all of us. As we listen to a high German official of the Warsaw ghetto, we realize that once a group is set apart, ordinary, "decent" people can countenance anything done to them. Lest we feel too superior to those Poles and Germans, we should ask how many Americans protested when our government sent thousands of Japanese to "internment" camps during the war. Hitler and his followers effectively perverted the very values of good and evil, creating a system which allowed people to remove Jews from their moral consciousness and to view them as sub-human. In that climate, the average individual required an uncommon heroic humanity to show the Jews the slightest concern. There were few heroes. It was much easier and safer to stand by and do nothing or to simply follow orders as a cog in the machinery of annihilation. Over and over agaiii throughout the film, as we meet victims, perpetrators and "innocent" bystanders, we want to cry out "How could they act in this way?" By allowing us to hear the atrocity described by the participants,' Lanzmann focuses our outrage at the Germans, the Poles and the world at large, who did nothing to stop the genicide. Yet, as we are confronted by these people, no matter how much we want to, we can no longer see them as alien beings totally unlike ourselves. We must face the most soulsearing question of all: In the same circumstances, would each of us have acted any differently? If we truly believe the exhortation "Never again," we must not only fight all injustices which governments inflict on any of their people, we must battle the dark side of our own human nature. For one of the most important lessons of the Holocaust is that those who are complacent in the face of evil aid and abet its commission.
(Continued from Page 4) nities and sororities—protested Toure's appearance. Toure on campus raises some provocative questions. He was participating in black solidarity activities at ComeU. Would the university dream of allowing "white solidarity" events? At Maryland, accwding to student journalist Jon Greene, he received a $750 payment in February and $800 this month through the Black Student Union, which is supported by student fees. Yet one presumes that Maryland administrators would have no First Amendment qualms in telling a Ku KIux Klan speaker to hire his own hall and sell tickets if he wanted to speak in College Park. Greene quoted the head of the Maryland Black Student Union, the group which sponsored Toure, as finding a positive side to his appearance: "It made pec^le deal with difficult issues." Yes, bigotry does that. Now, just how do the apologists f«- Toure, Farrakhan, et al plan to deal with that hatred, other than applaud it?
What place do non-Jewish spouses have? NEW YORK (JTA) - The Women's League for Con8e^ vative Judaism has called i^Mn the Rabbinical Assembly's Committee on Law «nd Standards to determine whether the non-Jewish woman in a mixed marriage can become a Sisterhood member. At present, the Rabbinical Assembly's Law Committee has raled that the 1,2(X) member Conservative rabbis 'should not accept mixed marriage couples into their congregations. However, there is no sanction process and there are some Conservative rabbis who have permitted mixed couples to become synagogue members. At the recent biennial meeting of the Women's League, a resolution was adopted stating: "We recognize with concern the growing rate of mixed marriages and the resulting situations that continue to arise across the country in our affiliated Sisterhoods." The resolution called on the Rabbinical Assembly "to explore all facets of the question and establish standards and guidelines for the synagogue and its affiliated organizations." The reaohition added: "We recognize the needs of nonJewish women, married to Jewish men, whether affiliated or unaffiliated with a synagogue, who have expressed the desire to pursue Jewish aims and ideals. We wish to encourage their partidpatioa in Jewish community life." The Women's League called for the development of an educational and cultural outreach program to the non-Jewish woman partner in a mixed marriage. Rabbi Kassel Abelson, Rabbinical Assembly president, t(dd the coDvestion that the entire question of mixed marriages must be dealt with and that programs should be established in each congregation to "deal with these ques-
tions and bring the family closer to Judaism and closer to the synagogue, so that children of all mixed iparriages will be raised as Jews." Where interest develops, he added, "because the family is warmly welcomed into the congregation and their problems sympathetically dealt with, we may discover that the non-Jewish'spouse will, at some point, opt to study about Judaism and even convert to Judaism.'' Abelstm noted fhat many Conservative congregations are confronted with such questions as: should the children of a mixed marriage be permitted to study in religious schools, allowed to be Bar or Bat Mitzvah, or even to get married in the congregation? "There is scarcely a family in our congregations that has not been touched by this problem in the person of a child marrying outside of the faith," he added. Phyllis Haas, the past national vice president of the Women's League, agreed that dealing with non-Jewish spouses in a mixed marriage becomes a sensitive problem, which has been on the increase in Conservative congregations over the past number of years. She f^t that only halachically converted couples should be acceptfii as members of congregations. But Margery Saulson, the Womren's League's Michigan branch prraident, who agreed that the question of mmJewish spouses must be dealt with, said: "We must embrace her and encourage her in the study of Judaism. If we make the non-Jewish fenoiale partner welcome, we can undoubtedly didt a voluntary convssidn, since she will recognize the whcdesome quality of religious Judaism and the enrichment that such practices bring to the entire Jewish family."

derstand this problem a bit better. We read the Bible through the eyes of rabbinic interpretation, through Talmud and Midrash. We then sometimes overlook the fact that the Bible itself (not the rabbinic interpretation) sees Jacob as wily and deceptive, until in later, more mature years, he becomes Israel, the Champion of God. And the Bible itself (not the rabbinic interpretation) sees Esau as a simple, rugged, impulsive man, not given to deep thought and contemplation—but essen: tially a decent and trusting person. Rabbinic interpretation, on the other hand, goes out of its way to heap sinfulness of many kinds on Esau and to white-wash Jacob aU down the line. And that is how we think of them. The rabbis used "Edom," the name of the iiation who sprang from Esau, as a code-word for everjrthing evil, including the irritating cruelty of oppressive Rome. What I said above about Esau refers to the Humash. In later centuries of Bible composition, however, when the enmities of Israelites and Edomites were fully established, Esau and the Edomites are characterized as cruel; lacking in brotherly love, etc., etc., and they are 'promised the wrath of God and total destruction! See the Book of Obadiah, a onechapter poem of hate for Edomites. What did Edomites say about Israelites? That is lost to history and its literature. But what did Israelites say about Edomites? See the evil image in Obadiah and many other references! Our Christian-Jewish problem is not reduced—but this will help us to under-, stand how the image of the evil Jew, unrefuted and unchallenged, entered Christian scriptures.

Parashat Toledot Reading the Bible through rabbinic eyes Our Sidrah gives us the news of the birth of twin sons to Isaac and Rebekah. And for a number of chapters the narrative takes us through the tangled relationships between Esau, the elder, and Jacob, the younger, of the twin brothers. Let me insert parenthetically my sense of discomfort and chagrin that the brevity of these columns and the fact that they are written anywhere from a few days to a few weeks before their appearance in print militate against their dealing with current events and problems. Thus, important problems in American and world Jewry, which can be dealt with more seriously on the lecture platform, in the pulpit, and in longer periodical essays, can be given only short shrift (to use an inappropriate expression!) in these colunms. The Jacob-Esau story affords us, however, an entry into understanding at least something about a major problem that inheres and perseveres in contemporary Jewish-Christian relations. We are often unhappy, to use a mild word, about the slanderous image of the Jew, as Jew, in medieval Christian mythology—an image that I am certain had a major influence on the latent, boiling hostility that exploded into the Holocaust. Worse, that slanderous image begins in what Christians consider holy documents, the "New Testament." Look, we say, what Jews said about Christianity in the mutual hostility of the closing decades of the Ist century has been lost. But what Christians said about Jews and Judaism has become, for them, "Holy" "Scripturel" Now back to Jacob and Esau. It will help us to un-

Freelance Writer . By profession, Russ Kaplan is a health planner for the state of Nebraska; by avocation, he is a selfemployed investment adviser and mentor for those who depend on his monthly newsletter. He couples a keen interest in people and a financial sixth-sense to help his clients make decisions that affect their future prosperity. Mr. Kapl^ wears many hats. He is an academician, having both a postgraduate degree in sociology and a master's of business administration. He utilizes his education to analyze stock market trends and to better manage his chent's accounts. He also writes and publishes a monthly newsletter, "Russ Kaplan's Heartland Adviser." Mr. Kaplan is a devotee of the late Benjamin Graham's school of thought. His monthly newsletter includes moneymaking ideas generated more than 36 years ago by Mr. Graham in his bestselling book "The Intelligent Investor." Like Mr. Graham, Mr. Kaplan advocates diversification and buying for the long-haul. When questioned about his investment philosophy, Mr. Kaplan ^aid, "Look for value, practice patience and don't worry about minor market fluctuations." He does not consider himself a speculator who gets in and out of the stock market in the sanM motion. He further counsels his clients not to
RUBS Kaplan engage in panic selling. A case in point is General Motors' recent decisions to close some of their plants. Mr. Kaplan thinks it will prove to be a healthy move for the company's economic outlook. "I have GM in my own portfolio and I am holding on to it. I see GM's cutbacks as a sign that it is doing something to stay competitive." His investment perspectives hinge on his ability to steer his clients toward diversifying their portfolios within the stock market. He looks for stocks that are undervalued and have future growth potential. He is not interested in tax shelters, rather he purchases a particular stock because it promises to be a sound investment. He says he will sell "when I think the stock's soling figure is out of whack with what the company is worth." When questioned about the new tax law, and how it might affeqt the average investor, Mr. Kaplan stated that he would lose his two biffieat deductions, his IRA andlong-term capital gains.

"but I think in the long run it's for the best." Mr. Kaplan makes it a general practice to buy his own recommendations. He doesn't claim to have all the answers, but he does have a few suggestions. "Now might be a good time to invest in precious metals, but they should account for only 5 to 10 per cent of your portfolio." When Mr. Kaplan was asked about the investor who has $100,000 to inVest, he said, "I would recommend putting $50,000 in treasury bills because they are safe, pay a good interest rate, and are exempt from state taxes. The balance should be divided between two stocks that show growth potential."

Next gathering Dec. 9, 7th of Kislev on the lunar calendar. Norm Wohlner moderated the earlybirds at the Nov. 25 meeting and opening subjects were our State Dept. and Mid-East problems, especially Saudi oil and the Soviets. Art Grossman, who is a maven on international affairs, told us of the long tortuous lines of civilians in Iran trying to buy what is left of the necessities. A change there is inevitable. We also agreed that Mayor Boyle has committed no crime, has not embezzled nor bribed anyone. We discussed the cost of counting the petition signatures a^d the possible forthcoming election, whether or not to dismiss the Mayor. Luncheon was served up quickly by MoUie's gals and Al Oruch and Danny Greenfield. Motzi by Murray Borden, and oiu' condolences to his wife, Bess, on the loss of her brother, Nate Cooper; Benschen by Charlie Fellman. From Sec. Dave Dvorkin, his daughters made a generous contribution to the Mitzvah Box in memory of Sonny I. Gerber, and from Norm Wohlner, our Sunshine chairman, good news that Rube Ratner is back with us. We gtood in mem-
oriam for Nate Cooper and Sonny Gerber. State Senator Yard Johnson, who is loaded with sheepskins from Yale and Harvard, was guest speaker. The senator is involved in many civic organizations and has been honored ior his activities in many legal organizations. He practices law here in Omaha with the law firm of Broom and Johnson. The senator educated us on the functions of the Legislature, bow they will balance the budget for '87 and '88 (Nebraska law requires a balanced budget), and it may be done by either raising taxes or cutting expenses, or both.

As I prepared to write this column I couldn't help but think how lucky I ajn to have the space ... if I didn't, I'd have to rent it! Why? Because often somebody comes up to me and says "let me tell you about an idea I have for you;" or, when hearing me relate some goofy story, "you ought to work that into a column." Today, I was minding my own business when my friend Chuck asked "say, are you still writing those columns?" That, of course, brought to my attention that be doesn't usually read them or he'd KNOW I'm still writing them! No matter—after I gave him the business about it, he told me he'd love for me to tell everybody the J is reviving the old Holiday Dance Club. I don't know what they're calling it this decade, but I have to acknowledge it sounded like fun. I well remember how a fairly large bunch of us belonged to such a club way back when everybody's kids were young and we considered a night out dancing a big event. We used to get dressed up, wash off the graham cracker crumbs, change out of pedal pushers, tease our hair into a Big Bouffant and far-pitzed to the eyebrows, we went out like grownups! It really was fun, and I suspect anyone" who gives the new group half a chance will also have a good time. Those really were different times, in the 50's and 60's. Most of us women didn't work outside the home so it really was yah-hah time when the weekend came. I remember how I looked forward to dinner out, with only adults at the table. How we loved being able to talk about whatever we wanted ... not worrying about "ix-nay, the ids-kay." Today most kids probably can reverse roles and talk between themselves about stuff their parents don't catch onto! Teens are aware of language, recreation and lifestyles that my generation didn't know about til much later... like after marriage! Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but not much. I only know this: words in common usage with kids today used to be the ones we saw chalked on the sidewalk, or more like in the alley! To go on and on about this only makes me sound old, so enough. But it was fun to get away from routine and "go out." Today it's done more easily ... we don't need a sitter, I don't have to cook a meal for the kids before I can go to dinner myself. I don't have to leave a list of phone numbers, and when I'm out, I don't flinch when the phone rings. The moral of the story musfbe something like this. First you pay your dues, then you get the premiums. And if your stock does well you get extra dividends. Called grandchildren. And THEIR parents have to worry about sitters etc. To my young friends out there: Pay Your Dues. It's well worth it.

It isn't easy with the likes of Sneaky Fitch who drinks like a fish, smells like a horse, sings like a coyote, and if that's not enough, he's a coward who won't draw a g;un. This year's cast featuring Jerry iJonge as Sneaky Is as perfect as one could reasonably hope for. Red Dawg is a great show made greater this go-around because of an exceptionally talented cast.

Sholem Aleichem appeared on stamps from Israel, Romania, and Russia in 1979, the centenary of his birth. A new English edition of a children's story, "King Matthew," has appeared recently. Five illustrations for this story appeared on stamps issued in 1962 by Poland. A sixth stamp showed a portrait of the author—Janusz Korczak. He was also honored by Israel (1962) and Germany (1978), and by Poland again in 19'78 on the centenary of his birth. He is better known for his heroic act of accompanying the children of his''orphanage as they were shipped to Treblinka. Other children's stories and illustrations appeared on a set of three stamps issued by Israel in 1984. Many other Jewish authors could be mentioned, including Ellery Queen (written by two cousins, Frederick Dannay and Manfred Lee) who ^ppear^ on a stamp from Nicaragua (1972) and one from San Marino (1979). Of course, "The greatest book ever written"—the Bible—is the basis for several stamps each year. These may be depictions of characters or events described there or it may be the actual words—e.g. thie year is the International Year of Peace and several stamps dte or illustrate relevant Bibhcal passages (e.g. Afghanistan, Kenya, and Vatican City).

New life for ancient synagogues By Herb Keinon (WZPS) - For those born after the creation of the Jewish State, it is hard to imagine a world without Israel. And for those who came to Israel after 1967, it is equally difficult to imagine Israel's Jerusalem without the Old City. The Old City eo^ijures up countless images: Seven gates; narrow lanes; laden donkeys; tranquil churches; pious Jews; golden domes; ancient ruins. Today, Jews can walk freely to and from the Old City; 19 years ago this was forbidden. Today, Jews can live freely in the Old City; 19 years ago they couldn't. About 600 Jewish families, and many minyans of yeshiva students, have returned to the Jewish Quarter after a 19-year enforced absence. Situated on the eastern flank of Mount Zion, overlooking the Temple Mount, this site wae given top priority for reconstruction soon after the blue and white Israeli flag was raised over the area on June 7, 1967. But on that day the flag was raised over a heap of
rubble, not a liveable quarter. The Jordanians had destroyed the Jewish Quarter, turning homes into goat pens, and synagogues into garbage dumps. The Jewish Quarter, which intermittently housed Jews since the 7th century BCE was flattened. More galling was the Jordanians' shamelessly irreverent treatment of the quarter's synagogues, many of them hundreds of years old. When the Jordanians wrested control of the quarter on May 28, 1948, there were some 60 synagogues and yeshivot in the area. When the Israelis returned in 1967, all that remained were the desecrated shells of a handful of buildings. The Jewish Quarter was a lost skyline. Soon after the Six-Day War, old-timers who lived in the Jewish Quarter prior to 1948 scampered over the ruins to identify places where once a synagogue stood, where once a yeshiva was housed. In this manner, and with the aid of a largescale Jordanian map of the Old City, the ArM Engineers Corps locBId the
