"If you're not at work over the Jewish holidays, don't come back." "Today we are going to write a short essay on 'What Christmas Means To Me'." "You're a Jew from the East—you don't know how to relate to students from the Midwest." "The Holocaust never happened." These are the voices of hatred and fear— of bigotiy and injustice. They are the voices echoing, voices that have threatened Jewish survival since the beginning of time. And they remain the voices of discrimination and anti-Semitism in the year 1987. But this is America. The First Amendment states that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;"...

You qipty at a small Midwestern college to manage the campus radio station, with the understanding that you are not a teacher. Upon being hired, you're scheduled to teach a Communications course. In the classroom, you encounter anti-Semitic remarks: "The Jews control the national media. You were the one responsible for cancelling all Christian programming. Perhaps you're just too Jewish to teach here." You talk to witnesses that confirm the fact that Jewish jokes are La form of entertainment, and that although . anti-Semitic behavior does not pervade the entire campus, it is, indeed, demonstrated

Students complain to your supervisor. The supervisor tells you that your year-end evaluations are poor but refuses to let you see them. You are forced to resign. What can you do? Imagine, if you will, that a symposium on the Teaching of the Holocaust in Public Schools is being held at a university in your town. A Holocaust Revisionist Group gives thousands of dollars to the university for a counter-symposium and a full-page ad in the school newspaper, depicting the Holocaust as nothing more than a legend—a fantasy. What can you do? Imagine, if you will, that you are a used car salesman. You ask to get off work for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Your boss says that if you miss work for the Jewish holidays, don't bother to come back. What can you do to defend yourself? "Report it," answers Yiteak Santis, director of the Omaha office of the AntiDefamation League and the Federation's Commimity Relations Coipmittee. "Information is Uie key. It enables us to observe patterns and propose possible scdutions. If a Jewish institution has been vandalized or defaced, we need to know about it. If antiSemitic materials are being circulated, we need to know about it. If a neighbor is harassing a Jeirish neighbor or a child is intimidating a Jewish child, simply because they are Jewish, we need to know about it. "Negotiation can be quiet and amicable.

Dialogue sought before showing of 'Shoah' on PBS CHICAGO - Hoping to forestall tensions between groups, a coalition of Polish American and Jewish American leaders is urging Polish and Jewish organizations nationwide to hold dialogues with each other in connection with the Holocaust film "Shoah," which is expected to air on PBS channels this spring. The fihn caused considerable discomfort in both the Polish and the Jewish communities when it was first shown. Many Polish Americans felt that "Shoah" painted a one-dimensional picture of Poles as anti-Semites during the Holocaust. Their criticism of this portrait as superficial led many Jews to feel that Polish Americans were denying both the unique nature of Jewish suffering during the Holocaust and the existence of anti-Semitism in Poland. The Chicago-based coalition—a group spearheaded by the American Jewish Committee, the Polish American Congress, and the American Foundation for Polish-Jewish Studies—is offering guidelines and training worit8h<H)s to newly-formed dialogue groups and leadership organizations concerned about Polish-Jewish relations in the United States. Its own objectives as a dialogue group, said the coalition in a recently issued statement, include "containing the damage from legitimate differences over the meaning of historic eventa; probing the feelings 'Shoah'

evoked in dealing with stereotypes to which both Poles and Jews are subjected; placing historical events in a context faithful to the truth and to each group's understanding and interests, and sending a clear, credible message to each community about the value of the Jewish American-Polish American relationship." Describing the Chicago group's experiences and conclusions, the statement said: "The Polish Americans expressed compassion for the Jewish grief over the systematic annihilatiMi of 6 million of their people. They recognized that the Jewish experience in the. Holocaust was unique—that Jews were marked for extermination solely because they were Jews. They heard the resentment Jewish Americans expressed at the extent and nature of Eastern European anti-Semitism. They understood the anger the Jews felt that some Poles in the film, who witnessed the horror of the Holocaust, still display traditional anti-Semitic attitudes today. "The Jewish Americans,- in turn, expressed compassion toward the Polish Americans' sense of grief over the death of three million non-Jewish Poles at the hands of the Nazis... The Jewish Americans came to understand the Polish concern and anger that 'Shoah' might erroneously be regarded as the definitive history of those times ...

Israel's nuclear strategy

NEW YORK (JTA) - The strategic issues raised in the Jerusalem trial of Mordechai Vanunu, charged with leaking Israel's atomic secrets to a foreign newspaper, have been largely lost in the shuffle. According to Vanunu's information as published in London's Sunday Times, Israel now ranks as the world's sixth largest nuclear power—just after (in descending order) Great Britain, France, and The People's Republic of China. According to the report, Israd has stockpiled at least 100 nuclear weapons, and has the "components and ability to build atomic, neutron or hydrogen bombs" of both the "suburb-busting" nuclear and "city-busting" thermonuclear types. At the outset, observers expressed doubt that Vaniinu s nuclear story was on the level, reading it as an intentional leak in order to warn off the Syrians, whose chemical weapons build-up was recently discussed in the media. In fact, quite the opposite may be true: to the "sudden" appearance of information on the Syrians' chemical warfare capabilities was probably introduced to provide part of the strategic context for the discussion of Israel's nuclear force which the Vanunu revelations have thrust upon US.

...

Israel's nuclear strategy is at the heart of one of the cntical debates dividing Israeli strategic planners and leading politicians. The key question is to what extent Israel should employ, and rely on, a nuclear umbrella to balance out what is ultimately an insurmountable Arab conventional edge. This divisidn cuts across other issues, like the dove/hawk territorial one. Both the aimexationists and the doves are divided among pro-nuclear and pro-conventional lines. Prof. Yuval Ne'eman, an internationally recognized expert on nuclear physics who heads the far-right Tehiya Party, is pro-nuclear. Ariel Sharon, no less a committed annexationist, sees Israel's future wars in conventional, nonnuclear terms. • The nuclear/conventional strategic debate also divides Israeh moderates. There are doves who see a nuclear umbrella as a substitute for strategic depth. Others doubt that Israel could live safely within the old 1967 borders. This debate was the secret text animating supporters of Shimon Peres (Israel's foremost champion of nuclear thinking) and Yitzhak Rabin in the years when the two struggled for leadership of the Labor Party. It also explains why Rabin briefly took Sharon on as an adviser, while Peres appointed Ne'eman, during the last Labor government in the mid-1970's. Now this internal Israeli discussion, suppressed by a tradition of self-imposed silence on national security matters, has come out into the open. But the new disclosures still CUP AND SAVE-

leave the most important questions unanswered. What are the geographical and situational—not to mention the ethical—limitations on the use of lafnel's nuclear weapons? What governs the "•when " and the "where" of their use? Presumably, nuclear weapons could only be employed in a "Sam8on"-type scenario, with Arab armies breaking through and threatening the heartland. How could Israel justify their use in a limited conflict, like a conventional Syrian offensive aimed at recapturing parts of the Golan Heights, or an anti-PLO foray into Lebanon? Doesn't that leave Israel without recourse to its nuclear arsenal in the overwhehning majority of possible military confrontations? Moreover, just where could Israel use a thenno-nudear "city-buster?" Or even the small "suburb-busting" variety? On bellicose Damascus? There is major problem with this scenario even if one discounts the unpredictable Soviet response to an Israeli firstuse of nuclear weapons against Syria, Moscow's regional ally. With a sudden gust of wind, the radioactive material released over Damascus could boomerang back and cover Israel within a few hours. According to the new information, however, Israel can produce neutron weapons which can kill the people and leave the buildings standing—and which would not pose a boomerang threat to Israel proper. These severe restrictions on the use of nuclear weapons bolster the arguments of the anti-nudear strategists whose thinking remains dominated by traditional conventional categories, like territorial depth. But there is no escaping a confrontation with the necessity for a nudear coimterweight to growing Arab power. The Gulf War won't go on forever. Israeli planners must imagine the possibility of conflict not only with Syria, armed to the teeth by the Soviets, but with an "eastern front" including Iraq, Jordan and Iran. Even given today's political reality, they cannot rule-out the possibility that Egypt will return to the war front against Israel. This scenario overwhebns with sheer numbers and weight the traditional military doctrine which balanced the Arab advantage in men and weapons systems with Israeli quality and sophistication, and since 1967 with some territorial depth. No wonder someone began to make nudear contingency plans. And if nudear weapons cannot do everything, they do act to dispel any lingering Arab illusions about wiping Israel off the map. They also serve notice on the Syrians that chemical weapons or no, Israel retains the strategic upper hand. Of course, the possible Arab conventional advantage and the introduction into Arab arsenals of longerrange missiles capable of hitting Israeli air bases and mobilization centers raises another possibility. And that is that the most hard boiled conception of Israel's strategic interest is to work for the reduction of tensions and for peace.

"We're 200 strong in the division, newly reorganized, highly visible and most definitely beginning to demonstrate that we are proven leaders with financial clout." Barbara Simon, Business and Professional Divisional Leader, was referring to the 22 percent increase in pledges made by workers attending the B & P luncheon on Feb. 5, featuring guest speaker, Mickey Baron, from Louisville. Ky. Ms. Baron, who has spoken to B & P groups for the last 10 years, noted that by 1990, 80 percent of all Jewish women will be working. "The largest growing poverty group is single, Jewish mothers," Ms. Baron reported, "and they are just one of the reasons we have to give more." Workers were encouraged to make face-to-face sdidtations. "People give to people," she continued, "and

We want people to be knowledgeable in 1987— needs have changed since 1986. "Ask people to give 15 minutes of thor time for Jewish survival," Ma. Baron concluded. "Tell them your story. Listen to theirs. Because we are able to live as Jews in a free country, because we are able to worship as Jews openly and without fear, we need to understand that freedom has a price—we need to give dollars to insure Jewish life throughout the world. "The Torah says that asking for charity is one of the highest Mitzvot that a Jewish person can perform. You know the story. It's hard to be Jewish—and it's very expensive."

Senators write Gorbachev A letter was recently sent to Soviet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev criticizing the new Soviet provisions in emigration. Signed by a bipartisan coalition of 57 senators, including Nebraska Senators Edward Zorinsky and J.J, Exon, and endorsed by the Coalition to Free Soviet Jewry, the letter reads: Your government has taken several specific steps during the past year that have been welcomed by people throughout the world who cherish human rights. These events include the release of Anatoly Shcharansky, Yuri Orlov and David Goldfarb and the recent decision to allow Andrei Sakharov and Yelena Bohner to leave Gorky and return to Moscow. In addition, Americans have noted the important steps taken by the Soviet government to permit the reunification of certain previously divided families and the permission granted to several cancer-stricken Soviet citizens to seek treatment in the West. These developments are heartening to all those who had hoped that the Soviet Union, under your leadership, would take increased initiatives in the crucial area of human rights. It is precisely because of these hopes that we had expected that the new Soviet provisions on emigration would further facilitate the emigration process. We are, accordingly, profoundly disappointed to learn that these new provisions, in fact, appear to obstruct the very process they claim to be assisting. The new emigration provisions restrict the right to emigrate to particular cases of family reunification. These new regulations offer little hope for the hundreds of thousands, a very large number of them Jews, who have expressed their desire to leave the Soviet Union for religious or humanitarian reasons. These new provisions thus appear to contravene both the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the 1975 Helsinki Final Act. Mr. General Secretary, you certainly understand that we, in the United States Senate, treat the issue of human rights with great seriousness. The kind of historic and unprecedented improvements in United States-Soviet relations that are desired by the leaders and peoples of both pur countries cannot be divorced from the fundamental American commitment to human rights. The entire valuable structure of American-Soviet cooperation is built upon a foundation that has deep roots in the area of human rights. The construction of much-desired further bilateral progress depends to a large degree on progress on emigration and related issues. ; In order for us to reap the benefits of improved bilateral relations, vis-a-vis human rights, there must be a release of prisoners of conscience—those who are imprisoned for affirming religious, cultural and political beliefs that are protected under the aforementioned international treaties, progress on the 400,000 cases of Soviet Jewish citizens who have completed the first step in the emigration process but whose applications have not been processed, and affirmative action on the more than 11,000 cases of Soviet Jewish citizens who have repeatedly been refused permission to emigrate to Israel. While the new emigration provisions are disturbingly restrictive they contain a measure of flexibility that might well permit progress on these sensitive issues. The Soviet Union permitted over 50,000 Soviet Jews to emigrate in 1979. A return to a similar emigration policy would be welcomed by all who believe in the great importance of enhanced American-Soviet relations.

HAIFA — The 40th anniversary of the establishment of the SUte of Israel does not occur until the spring of 1988, but since it is a good round ntimber, and therefore "celebratable," plans are already uhder discussion here for fitting observance of the date. A debate has ensued with regard to the form the celebrations should take. A ministerial committee on ceremonies reached tentative decision to make a full-scale military parade the centerpiece of the celebrations. The argument was that it would promote a surge of patriotic feeling and heighten the sense of national security. The sight of well-trained, massed troops marching in precision formation, the endless ranks of huge tanks and other armored vehicles, the heavy artillery, the perfect formations of military planes flying overhead—all inevitably create a sense of pride and bring a lump to the throat. Furthermore, such a parade would serve as demonstration and warning to any enemies, near or far, who may have aggressive intentions. This kind of massive show of power would be well calculated to assure peace in the Middle East, it was claimed in some quarters. Significantly, Minister of Defense Yitzhak Rabin and Chief of Staff Moshe Levy came out against such a parade on two grounds: the cost involved, and the interference with normal training which would be caused by all the preparations. A number of other cabinet members, among them Minister of Education Yitzhak Navon, went on record in

favor of the parade. Neither Yitzhak Shamir nor Shimon Peres expressed an opinion. Opposition also came from leftist and pacifist circles which opposed any further expression of militarism in Israel. Solcbers are no novelty here, they maintained; we see them everywhere, and their very presence helps to foster the military spirit which is so alien to the Jewish people. Raise morale? This may have been necessary in the days of large aliyah, when the country had many newcomers who had to be integrated into the life and spirit of Israel, the critics said. Today there are few new immigrants who have to be impressed in this way, one observer noted, adding wryly that the many yordim, Israelis who have left the country, would certainly not be attracted back here by a military'parade. i The decision was finally announced—against a military parade. We have had occasion to discuss this matter in previous years as well, at which time we advanced an alternative suggestion—which we repeat here. Independence Day should provide Israel with an opportimity to parade before the people not only our military prQwess, but also our growth, development and progress in other fields. Artistic and ingeniously designed floats could depict Israel's achievements in science and technology, agriculture and industry, culture and the fine arts— aU projected dramatically. We are supposed to know something about the art of showmanship, and instead of unveiling a new weapon, Israel could on Independence Day reveal a new breakthrough in man's battle against the desert, poverty or disease. A motorcade of gaily decorated farm machinery might not rumble as much as Merkava tanks, but they would acr cent an Israel with a different set of values. Private industries, institutions, organizations, government departments, youth groups, professional bodies, all could vie with one another in producing iimovative and picturesque displays on wheels which could transform this into one of the most unusual parades ever held anywhere—and perhaps commanding more media coverage than any standard niilitary parade could receive. And if we require a reminder of the need for defense, the. parade could begin and close, sjrmbolically, with a mighty armed tank at each end. Such a parade need not be limited to one dty and one march. With proper planning and organization, large parts of it could stage repeat performances in the major cities of the cotmtry, as well as in border towns and development areas, encompassing everyone in the country. Nobody would be left out. And for tourists, word could go out that the greatest spectacle since the assembly of Noah's zoo, or smce the crossing of the Red Sea, woidd be on display in Israel during the country's 40th aimiversary. That's a show that should be able to draw crowds.

Built under fire By Eric Rozenman Near East Report A fuimy thing happened last month at a conference on "Sustaining Democracies in Regions of Crisis: The Israeli Experience." Approximately 30 Israelis-including government leaders-were attempting to explain to an American delegation how Israel had managed-through nearly four decades of war, terrorism, large-scale immigration and economiic difficulties-to build a thriving democracy. But at the opening session the Israelis were not doing too well. They focuswl much more on their country's problems than its successes. Finally, according to Kenneth Wollack, executive vice president of the sponsoring National Democratic Institute for International Affairs (NDI), Costa Rical's Benjamin Nunez, a former ambassador to the U.N. and to Israel, took the microphone. "He basically said, 'You folks don't know what you have here. You're always looking to the future. Take a moment to look where you've come from.' " Where Israel has come from became clear in the following sessions of the three-day conference at Sedom on the Dead Sea. The Jewish state, former U.S. Vice President Walter Mondale pointed out, did not sacrifice internal democracy to meet external military threats, as has happened elsewhere. In fact, the institutions Israel established helped strengthen its democracy. Rep. Bill Green (R.-N.Y.), another American delegate, noted that the process was under way even before independence in 1948. "The Israelis had a long experience in democratic institutions—the World Zionist Organization, the Histadrut trade union federation and others. Conferees examined the relationship between dvil authorities and a strong, respected military which itself manifests some democratic traits. Ben-Gurion's incorporation, at an early date, of the various Jewish self-defense organizations into the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and placement of the IDF imder civilian control was seen as crucial by Mondale, who is president of NDI, and by Green and Rep. Howard

Berman (D-Calif.). Universal service, the absence of military academies, the existence of a strong civic education program within the military, the provision that officers can take two years off to study anything which interests them, and mandatory retirement for most senior officers while still in their 40's also were seen as important to preventing the growth of an anti-democratic inilitary elite. Conference participants noted that although Israel has no written constitution, it developed a strong, independeiit judiciary. The country also has a tradition of economic pacts or "social contracts" between manufacturers, unions and government. These regulate potentially damaging class competition. And Israel's free press and strong political parties contribute to the state's overall democratic health. The majority of Israelis are immigrants or children of immigrants from the non-democratic countries of North Africa or the Middle East. But most Israeli participants agreed that while some problems remain, much of the "social gap" between Ashkenasim (Jews of European background) and Sephardim (Jews of Middle Eastern background) has been ameliorated in the past 10 or 15 years. What Israelis find frustrating now is the split between the Jewish religious and secular communities. Some participants argued against trying to write a constitution now because of the split; others urged that a constitution be put on paper specifically to help resolve the issue. Over all, the NDI program was "tremendous. I've been to many conferences in 14 years in office, and this was the best—in terms of the quality of discussion and the broad cross-section of Israeli society," Berman said. NDI, loosely affiliated with the Democratic Party, is one of foilr main organizations funded by the National Endowment for Democracy. The others are linked to the Republican Party, the AFL-CIO and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. "The Israelis questioned whether what worked for them would work elsewhere," Wollack noted. But NDI believes the Israeli example can be a tool if not an exact model for other emerging democracies.

BOOK REVISED NEW YORK, NY - The editors of Fodor's "Germany West and East" have rewritten a section on Germany's National Socialist regime following a complaint by the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith that it made light of the destruction of European Jewry under Adolf Hitler.

The newly elected chairman of the World Union of Jewish Students (WUJS), Yosef Abramowitz, wants to ^move the politics from his organization and return the activism. Abramowitz, a 22-year-old graduated student activist from Boston University, is only the second American and the youngest person to lead the international student group since its inception in 1924. His election in Jerusalem early last month was seen as a messaage that the 1,200 delegates wanted to separate WUJS from the influence of the Israeli poUtical parties. He was the dark-horse candidate. "I was running mostly because I had a message—not because I thought I would win," Abramowitz said in a recent interview with the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. That message, he indicated, is: "It's time to de-politicize and defactionalize the student movement. It's time for a renaissance in Jewish student activism." Israeli Jewish students organize themselves along the lines of the Israeli political parties and primarily concern themselves with party ideology. Abramowitz hopes to make WUJS more relevant to students throughout the world. He suggested focusing on issues of universal concern to Jews like oppressed Jewry and assimilation. For his term of two to three years, he will move to Jerusalem, the site of WUJS' main office. The new president said that at the top of his agenda are several major projects and fund-raising. First is Project Areivim, or the "Jewish Peace Corps," a program that provides Jewish emissaries to remote or smiall Jewish communities seeking youth group leaders, Hebrew teachers and other positions. WUJS has already placed six Areivim in Canada, Colombia, Italy and the Netherlands. At least 20 other communities have expressed interest in or requested Areivim including cities in Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Scotland, Taiwan and Zimbabwe. "We alone fulfill this function, maybe because we are a little more idealistic," Abramowitz said. One of the major barriers to training and sending out more Areivim is a lack of funds, Abramowitz said. He is working on a handbook on how to get funding for student organizations which will contain a listing of Jewish student groups in financial straits. A national Jewish student newspaper is another project the new chairman said he hopes to launch during his tenure. He also said he was looking forward to the travel opportunities offered by his post. He hopes to visit all the sites of Areivim, as well as Ethiopia, the Soviet Union and every continent with a WUJS affiUate. As the leader of WUJS, Abramowitz said he plans to direct the organization toward the types of activism he is familiar with from his student days. He founded and led the anti-apartheid movement at BU, he said. His cause gained some degree of notoriety after school authorities demanded he remove an antiapartheid banner hung from his drom window on threat of expulsion bom campus housing. He took his case to court and won. Abramowitz also was active on behalf of rights for Jews in oppiessed countries, including Ethiopia and the Soviet Union. He said he will continue to make this a priority. He organized and participated in Soviet Jewry lobbies in Washington and in 1985 was arrested in front of the Soviet Embassy.

As part of this event, prominent local personalties will read the names of Soviet Jewish "refuseniks." These are Jews who have been turned down at least once for an exit visa and are now languishing in the Soviet Union. These refuseniks are, in some cases, deprived

of their livlihoods. In virtually every case, they are ostracized and made pariahs by the Soviet state. "We believe that this simultaneous public reading of refusenik names around the world will dramatically bring attention to their plight and help galvanize world opinion against continued Soviet repression and persecution," stated Steven Riekes, local B'nai B'rith chairman. B'nai B'rith Youth Organization chairmen Michael Levine and Randi Epstein, said there will he a guest speaker. The vigil sponsors suggest the entire community participate to show concern about the future of Soviet Jewry.

ship began when the group appeared at Life Line for the Old in Israel That organization aids older adults and disabled persons. "We fell in love with Life Line and went back to perform there many times while in Jerusalem," said Mr. Dreskin. "Before we left Israel, we promised Myriam Mendilow, the director, that upon our return to America we would educate others about this wonderful organization and would raise money to help support its work." B^ed Kefet hasdone exactly that in the United States. The group accepts no money for its performances; all proceeds go to American FViends of Life Line for the Old in Israel.

AUTO DETAIL '^^

Yesterday was one of those magnificently mild days we seldom have in February—the kind of day you are compelled to go for a walk, no matter how lazy you ordinarily are! We did. We walked around one of the man-made lakes in the heart of the city and kvelled with nearly each breath of air. It was the kind of dqy total strangers smile and comment on the temperature. It made me realize how little it sometimes takes to make a person really happy. Oh, I know things like a new car or a new piece of jewelry or a new house can cause enormous joy. Why not? It would take some kind of ingrate NOT to react. No. My point is this: so many really little things also are responsible for creating a feeling of complete happiness. Let's make a Ust, ok? Happiness is: waking up without bags under the eyes. It's also opening up mail and finding a new photo of an adored grandchUd (or child or whoever). It's also, while we're opening mail, finding a statement from a department store which reads "zero balance." Any experienced cook will swear that happiness is turning out a cake from a bundt pan without tearing a single crumb from it. Or for that matter, making a gelatin mold come out of its pan in one perfect piece. The kitchen is a veritable mine lode of happiness achievers. So are kids, preferably teenagers. I have it on good authority that happiness is assured when a parent finds a teen's room cleaned and neat. Or when that teen truly loves the gift presented by the wellmeaning adult. Or when the kid calls and doesn't ask for money. It's been a while, but I remember and can verify that these examples really do apply here on this list. Of course any garment labeled "permanent press" which doesn't really have to be ironed certainly causes one to feel at least pleasure. I wish all my tablecloths marked that way really were. I also wish the fourth comer of the fitted sheet went on the mattress as well as the first, second and third. That would make ME happy! But I'm easy. I could experience indescribable happiness just by walking into a shoe departmrnt and finding what I want in my size. The same applies at the glove counter. I guess I could say in the grocery store too ... finding the exactly perfect pineapple improves my mood, at least! Having an extra car key in the purse used to guarantee happiness when I locked myself out, but thanks to modem technology, I don't have to depend on that anymore. My present car has a computerized combination on the outside of the doors and I can now open the car without a key if necessary. • ' % • . It's tme. It's also a mechiah, but to be really honest, I kind of miss the challenge of trying to see how skillful you are with a "slim-jim." Now that was happiness. Being lockeid out, fiddling with that shmitchick and then, hearing clickl Now that's really terrific!

We arranged a meeting between lay leaders, university officials and the student editorial board We presented fact-finding reports on the Holocaust Revisionist movement to enable them to make an educated decision about how to handle the proposals. The school officials elected to return the money to the Revisionist group, and the student newspaper decided not to publish the ad. "In the case of the used car salesman, a simple phone call to the employer was all that was necessary. The employer was made aware that 'religious accommodation' was protected by the law, and the employee was

Witnesses consented to be interviewed but none would be willing to testify in court, if it were to come to that, for fear of receiving bad grades or losing their jobs..

jswisfe s4®.inaip COM(EC4|BJ By Dr. Murray Frost Everyone knows that the name of Israel appears on its stamp in Hebrew (as well as Engl^h and Arabic). But has Hebrew appeared on the stamps of any other country? The answer is yes! At least 10 nations have issued stamps with Hebrew writing. Some of these stamps reflect the Diaspora—the dispersal of Jews throughout the world. Some reflect the Jewish roots of such universals as the belief in God and the desire for peace. And one is really the result of an error in the stamp's design. Starting in reverse order—Zaire issued a set of stamps in 1984 to mark the Olympics held in Los Angeles. One of the stamps pictured a basketball game. Alert collectors noticed Hebrew letters on the back of one player's uniform. Rather than a photo of an Olympic basketball game, the stamp's designer mistakenly had used a photo from the Maccabai games held in Israel. Nicaragua's 1971 set illustrating the Ten Conmiandments included Rembrandt's painting of Moses receivin^thp Tablets on Mt. Sinai. Rembrandt, who lived in the Jewish area.of Amsterdam, was very familiar with Jews and portrayed the lettering on the tablet legibly and accurately. Another artist, Raphael, also painted Moses and the Tablets with accurate Hebrew lettering. His portrait of Moses and Matthew appeared on a 1984 stamp from Anguilla. The title page of the 300-year-old Totfaluai Bible (the first

Hungarian Bible) includes the Hebrew word for God; it was depicted on a 1985 Hungarian stamp. The United Nations declared 1986 as the International Year of Peace and a number of nations issued stamps on this theme. One of these, Costa Rica, issued a set of stamps in July repeating the word "Peace" in many languages—including Hebrew. Mexico had used this same idea for its 1982 Christmas stamps and had used "shalom" in Hebrew letters in 1979 when it honored the Intematiorial Congress of Human Sciences in Asia and North Africa with a stamp. Most of the other countries which have used Hebrew on a stamp either were honoring their Jewish community or indirectly reflecting the contribution of Jews to their nation. For instance in 1967 Czechoslovakia issued a set of six stamps for the 1,000th anniversary of Jews in that country. Three of the stamps included Hebrew lettering in the stamp's design—on a printer's mark, a jug, and a gravestone. In 1969 its stamp honoring Franz Kafka showed another graveyard with Hebrew letters on gravestones. In December 1984, Hungary released a set of seven stamps depicting artifacts in its Jewish Museum. On several of them, Hebrew inscriptions on the objects can be seen clearly. Earlier, October 1984, Denmark marked 300 years of Jewish settlement. The stamp pictured a woman blessing Sabbath candles.

In 1937, the Soviet Union issued a stam^ depicting the coat of arms of White Russia which included the slogan "Proletarians of all countries, unite" in several languages including Yiddish. They have since dropped the Yiddish veraum from their coat of arms. In 1986, Yugoslavia included a page from the Sarajevo Haggadah in their set depicting museum holdings.

He was the gabbai, or treasurer, of the Jewish community.

Exercise can be hazardous to health By Hugh Orgcl

For some years, the Surgeon-General has warned on each ' cigarette packet that "Smoking is bad for your health." The time may come when he will insist that each gym suit, tennis racket or pair of jogging shoes carries a aimi,lar warning: "Exercise may be bad for your he^th." This bleak and unexpected future is baaed on the Israel Army Medical Corps' recent substantiation of the findings of a research group at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa of a connection between physical exercise and damage to health. I In findings which challenged conventional wisdom that F exercise is good under any condition, Technion researchers } in the Faculty of Medicine and Department of Biology dis[ covered that even mild exercise—roughly the equivalent I of jogging—can cause damage to musdea, reduce the effir dency and protection of body cdla and put undue pressure I on the kidneys. The Technion tests, carried out on laboratory mice, [. showed that while exercise had a positive effect on the mus[ des of young animals, it caused considerable damage to I the musdes of those past middle age. Results for middle; aged mice were mixed, depending on whether the subject ; started to exercise young or not. Those mice which began f exercise in their youth and continued into middle age showed positive results. The young mice (six months old) were roughly the equivalent of the human age of 20-30 years; the middle-aged mice, 50-60 human years; and the old ones (27 months old), 7080 human years. In the IDF study, it was found that soldiers subjected to prolonged physical stress can suffer musde and kidney damage. The damage is more pronounced in units traini|ig I during hot, dry weather and in those who are not in top 'physical condition. Twenty recruits training for an elite Army unit took part in the tests. On the day of their induction, they underwent physical examinations and their condition was monitored during the course of their training. The Army doctors found that in the first two weeks of training, concentrated physical effort caused muscle damI- age. As a result, the levd of myoglobin, a musde protein, Lrose in the blood, causing kidney malfunctioning. The Frescruits' myoglobin levels were normal before physical I eftort, but rose dramatically throughout the training period. j' Technion researcher Dr. Abraham Reznick partidpated [ in the original TechnioD research and is invdved in on-going

research with regard to loss of bone mass. He noted that "these findings are exactly what we found in wnimalw. Wh«i we eacerdae, we use a lot of oxygen. The by-products of this oxygen are very damaging to the tissues and the cells. "Also, during strenuous physical effort, the musdes break down major proteins in the body, which can cause kidney malfunctioning. In addition, exerdsiog increaaee our blood flow rate and this can build up pressure on the kidneys." "Reznick adds a word of caution: "In young soldiers, the kidney malfunctioning was reversible afto* a period of rest. Our studies on older animals found that they suffered severe damage, which in many cases proved to be permanent. "Our findings indicate that there is a certain age in life that is a threshold beyond which the body cannot support 8(z«nuou8 exerdse. Strenuous exercise done after this stage only accderates the breakdown of the body's systems." Some of the specific dangers of jogging became apparent immediatdy after that "mild exercise" became popular in the 19€0'8. Doctors then warned joggers, espedally the dderly, to practice the exerdse on grass and soft soil and not on hard roaditrays or sidewalks. Hard surfaces, they said, could cause damage to foot and ankle bones. But from the looks of the streets nowadays, it appears that warning—like that of the Surgeon-General against smoking—is honored more in the breach than in the observance.

The Stores-VI It took many different types of stores to take care of the needs of the Jewry of North street in those post World War I days of the twenties. High in that category were the hardware stores. Here were available the many items needed to keep a house in repair or to add embellishments to the dwelling place, as the occasion demanded, all the way from a screen to a closet of simple design. Both the material ahd the tools could be obtained from the hardware store as well as advice on how to do it. Although it took many hundreds of items, along with many types of tools to supply the varied demands, they were stocked at the hardware store. There were several hardware stores in the immediate 24th street area. Amongst such stores were Katz's Hardware be-' tween Hamilton and Charles, Dolgoff's on Parker, Rosenstein's on Franklin and Kaplan's Hardware between Hamilton and Charles. The do-it-^yourself bit was not a pastime indulged in for fashionable and smart reasons, but a stark fact of life and necessity. Money was, in most instances, in very limited supply and repairs that had to be accomplished around your dwelling had to be done by yourself. This called for consulting with your hardware dealer, first, for planning the job, second, for planning what materials and tools were necessary to complete the job. And how to pay for them. Recalling those poignant days always brings to mind

what a miracle it was for your hardware man to find out where the item was that you wanted. The owner of the store, although most times pretty advanced in age, would climb a ladder to the top shelf of a wall fixture, in the darkest recesses and presto he would come back with the item you wanted. Most of our fathers were not familiar with the tools to be used or the carpentry necessary to acomplish the job. Word of mouth and sage advice from the personnel at the hardware store, plus the usual trial and error was the proceedure. Needless to say, there were many bellicose expletives, previously unheard on the American scene, that resulted from repair adventures and a smashed finger or cut hand. The tools that caused the injury came from the hardware store. The ointments and bandages came from the drug store— our subject next week. For the last several weeks we have discussed the various type stores that were such an important part of our parents' experience in their new land. There still are several types of business establishments that were an integral part of the scene. We will cover one of these next week. Certainly many of you have fond memories of'the drug stores of postwar years. Share those golden memories. Give us a call. Drop us a line. Thanks a lot.

JCC basketball update By Tom Law MIDGET ALL-STARS The Midget All-Stars continued their unbeaten streak with a convincing 56-31 win over Miller Park YMCA. Mark Dahir, Joe CuUan and Brian Blessie provided a strong inside game with Brent Zacharia and Jay Rubin running their version of a pro-style fastbreak. Coach Law said he was happy with the hustle of his bench players consisting of Jimmy Dean, Jason Itkin, Justin Livonius, Eric Givner and Adam Yale. The AllStars record goes to 5-0. BLUE STARS The JCC Blue Stars defeated the Omaha South 76ers 31-25 in league play Thursday evening. Coach Law credited the defensive intensity for his teams victory. Once again Jon Felt did a superb job blocking shots and assisting Steve Givner on the boards. The offense was sparked by the play of Todd Modgil, Brent Hoffart and Larry Kirshenbaum. The Blue Stars League record goes to 1-1 and 2-2 for the season. LITTLE DRIBBLERS In week three, Omaha Children's Clinic outlasted Tretiaks with Cory and Andy Itkin providing the Magic to Kareem combination.
