Israel Bonds names leaders ' OMieral Vehuda Halevy, presidoat and chief executive officer of the State of Israel Bond Organization, announced that Edward Belgrade and Marcia Cohen have agreed to co^Jiair the "Reaffinnation with Israel" campaign to secure reinvestment of Israel Bonds.

This campaign is being launched to secure reinvestment of Israel Bonds purchased in the Yom Kippur War Year of 1973 when '^^fR/ / more than one '• / million friends nj ' j m i j of Israel joined Edward Belgrade in purchasing a record $515 miUion.

Mr. Belgraide reported that holders of both 1973 and 1972 Bonds would receive the maturity value of their Bonds up to 22 months in advance by reinvesting these Israel Bonds now.

The Yom Kippur War saw an unprecedented outpouring of Bond support for Israel by its friends tlioughout the United States and Canada that helped make possible Israel's postwar reconstruction.

"Mwe Uian $400 million dollars are available for reinvestment. Israel is responding to that remarkable 1973 demonstration of

support," Mrs. Cohen aaid, "by offering interest in advance of maturity provided the bondholder adds additional funds to reinvest in another Israel Bond of a higher denomination." The offer is being extended to all holders of Bonds purchased in 1973 and 1972.

"Just as one million friends joined to help Israel in its hour of critical need," Mr. Belgrade said, "let us now reaffirm and renew that historic response by reinvesting our Marda Cohen Bonds and he^nng Israel move f«ward to overcome its current economic challenges."

To asaist hoklers of maturing Bcmds, congregations in Omaha are planning a "Reinvestment Sunday" in the synagogues on Purim Sunday, March 16.

Representatives of the Bond Organizatiffli will be available to exidain the reinvestment procedure.

"Check your safe deposit box and your files," Mrs. Cohen said. "If you are holding Bonds purchased in 1973 or 1972, caU the Israel Bond Office at 341-1177 for information about reinvestment."

All in the family This is not an actual acconnting of one particular family. It is, rather, a representation of many families with similar drcumstaoces who have been helped by Jewish Family Service. Once again, thia is not a true story... or is it?

It's 11:40 Tuesday morning. Mrs, Adelberg, a 42-year-old Jewish housewife, is leaving to meet a Wend for lunch. The phone rings.

"HeUo." "Heflo, Mrs. Adelberg? This is Mrs. Henderson fi-om Grant School. Do you have a ' few minutes to talk?"

"Of course. Is this about Alan?"

"Yea, Mrs. Adelberg, it is. We've been observing Alan for several weeks. He's having problems here at school He's disruptive in class, talks back to the teacher and has temper tantrums from time to time. His teacher has been keeping me informed on a regular basis, and I'm calling to suggest the possibility of family counseling."

"Counseling? What for? Is it jthat bad?

"No, not yet, but there doesn't have to be a major crisis in a family to warrant counseling. Counseling can be extremdy effective at this stage in the game. I woiild strongly recommend Jewish Family Service."

"JFS7... I coold never go there—every Jewish person in Omaha would know,my buaineaal" "that'a juat not true, Mrs. Adelberg. I often refer famiUee to JFS, and I can assure you, confidentieUty is a hig^ priority. Thqr even have their own entrance in the back of the building to ensure privacy. Please, just give them a call" ' - "Jewish Family Service. May I help "Yes, this is Mrs. Adelberg, and I'm caUing about my seven-year-old son Alan."

And so, the story begins to unfold. Background information is carefully noted by the

'—i"—'

staff meets to determine who is best suited to counsel this particular case, based on expertise and availability. Within a couple of days, the assigned therapist calls to establish initial contact and to schedule an appointment. Several alternative times are offered.

"It's our policy never to turn away a Jewish family or family member, Mrs, Adelberg, and, in fact, to give you the earliest possible appointment."

"Wdl, I can't on Mondays and Wednesdays-I work. My husband bowls on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and I play Bridge on Wednesday evenings. After school is a bad time because the children are so busy and I can't on Fridays because..."

It doesn't take long for the problems to reveal themselves. Mr. Adelberg works long hours. Mrs. Adelberg works part-time because she has to. They have few meals together and there is even less time for family activities and fun. Financial problems are stressful. Alan and his four-year-old brother argue-alot. His 14-year-old sister has been "experimenting" in a world of boys, substances and peer pressure; she doesn't always come home on time, and her grades ate bad. Alan will resort to lying or stealing to get attention and the four-yearokl doaan't know what to make of any of (CoBtinaed on Page 2)

Chairmen and date set for 1987 Campaign Cabaret 'If you loved last year, you'll be crazy about this year!"

Those were the words of Marcia and Jack Cohen, WMAairmen of Campaign Cabaret '87, a dinnet and musical revue to be held on March 28, at Peony Park beginning at 7:15 p.m.

"We were delighted when Jack and Marcia accepted our invitation to head Campaign Cabaret," noted Joan Lehr, Women's Campaign chairman and Leonard Lewis, Men's chairman. "For years, both have been outstanding leaders of this community, serving in many capacities. Jack has served on the boards of the Federation and Temple Israel—Marcia has been Israeli Bond chairman and has, herself, been Women's Fedwation Campaign chairman.

They are, without a doubt, experienced, ci^able, efficient, caring and creative people. They know how to get the job done and we're very lucky to have them both."

"Once again, this gala event promises to be an exdting Jewish evening full of music, entertainment, the very best food, the moat beautiful decoraticma and hundreds of people," said Mrs. Cohen. "From young marrieds to Yo^ng Energetic Seniors—from newcomers to life-long residents of Omaha, rampiiign Cabaret offo^ everyone a chance to see old frioids and make some new. As a Jewish community, it's important that we take the time to enjoy each other's company.''. -. .....^ .— - The evani^ win begin witiicocktaila at 7:15 p.m. tmdainner ^ be served at 8 p.m.

"Campaign Cabaret is a celebration of the Omaha Jewish community," continued Mr

Cohen. "It celebratea our common feelings, our success in maintaining a strong Jewish identity-religioualy, culturally and through our social service programa—and, of course. Cabaret is a celebration of our own talented people. I'm pleased to have the opportunity to share in this warm and unique experience with a large part of our Jewish community."

This year, as stated on the invitation, a gift to the Campaign is required. "People and spirit are wonderful," explained Mrs. Cohen, "but the bottom line is that in or da- to maintain Jewish community projects and services, it takes doUara. The Federation needs the financial support of each and every one of us.

The amount of the gift is up to the individual contributor. "Jack and I are lodting forward to March 28 with great anticipation. This is something we both wanted to do and thanks to an excelloit Federation staff-Sondra Topper Rosenblatt, Ellie Penner, Kathy Walker-our job has been a pleasure. We appreciate, too, the work of literally hundreda of vohinteers helping to make CanqiMugn Cabaret another manorable evening for everyone."

"What a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the fruits of our labors," added Mrs. Lehr. "We can share in a tremendous pride at what we have accompliahed and locdi forward to a bright Jewish future for Omahaone filled with qHrit, atrength and ot»nmit< ment.

Leonard Lewis condudad, "llie annual Federation Craipaign is an effort to fulfill our community needs. It's a time to recognize the responaibility of one Jew for another. Campaign Cabaret is our way of building a feeling of community and of confirming our dedicati<» to Jewish values and morality."

"Campaign Cabaret-March 28 at Peony Park," said Mrs. Cohen, "is guaranteed to put a sparkle in your evening, a smile on your face and, indeed, to warm your Jewish heart."

sdflltOir'flS^ls fey morffns maJm® Upon my retam from vacation, 1 scanned my mail in search of usable material and came across an Interesting report by Harry S. Allen of Lincoln. Mr. Allen, director of institutional research and planning at UNL has just completed a five-month appointment as an advisor to the Israeli Council of Higher Education. His report follows:

n Israel political panorama

By Harry S. Allen Every Monday evening in Jerusalem the Hebrew University and the Conservative movement sponsor a forum at the Agron street synagogue. This series of weekly lectures is on a diverse range of topics, almost always fascinating.

But so rapidly does the Israel political landscape change that the last Monday of each month is reserved for the topic, "The Political Situation in Israel." (The forum is managed by Myriam Shuman formerly of Sioux City, Iowa, whose husband Ben's articles have appeared in the Omaha World Herald from time to time). Here is the political situation as last we saw it at the end of December.

The Rotation: No one really expected it to happen. It was a topic of conversation for weeks before the event. It was the subject of countless newspaper columns and television talk shows. But Peres and Shamir stuck to their agreement and demonstrated not that one can change horses in the middle of the stream, but that two riders of the same horse can change positions in Harry Allen midstream without falling off.

The rotation has worked better than anyone could have hoped, people like it, and it has permitted the country to address its economic problems. But as Abba Eban quipped at a blue ribbon forum at the Ramada Hotel, "the rotation is like Noahs Ark, we approach everything two by two but without the expectation of fertility."

The Decline of Likud: Infighting within Likud has badly damaged the party's ability to win the next election.

Shamir, David Levy and Arik Sharon are squabbling like a trio of alley cats and Moshe Arens is waiting in the wings to pick up the pieces. Ti»e Liberal party partner of the Likud is also in dissaray over party leadership roles and the popular mayOT of Tel Aviv, a leader of the party has abandoned ship. Labor is not much stronger but Peres is personally very popular and generally gets high marks, and the party is more or less united; None-the-less if an election were held tomorrow most observers forsee another deadlock between Likud and Labor.

The Bank Scandal: There is nothing like a good scandal to get people all mad at the same thing. The bank scandal did just that. Two years ago a major collapse of bank stock cost Israeli speculators including many Mosahvim and Kibbutzim bundles of shekels. A government bail-out saved the day but a subsequent government investigation came very close to accusing the bank officers of outright fraud.

As a result the president of Bank Leumi was forced to resign, but in November a snooping college professor at Tel Aviv University discovered that the president had received a salary of over $1,000,000 a year plus a fat expense account which included a $60,000 a year apartment in Manhattan. The public outcry has now forced a rescinding of a $30,000 monthly pension which was awarded the president, resignation of the chairman of the Board of Bank Leumi and placed Arye Dulzin, head of the Jewish Agency, under fire.

Peace and the West Bank: This is one of those subjects

which is always good for dinner table conversation. But thats about as far as it goes. Hussein likes things just the way they are-he has the best of all worlds-at least the best of the Arab world. Israel is not too unhappy with status quo and the Palestinians are so faction ridden that one does not know who to negotiate with-even if one faction were willing to negotiate. Even a West Bank state would satisfy only a portion of the Palestinians. But slowly a kind of condominium is developing between Israel, Jordan and the West Bank. Jordan, with Israels blessing, is trying to raise $1.6 billion to invest in the West bank economy, a branch of the Bank of Jordan has been opened in Nablus and there is more traffic between Israel and Jordan without a peace treaty than there is between Israel and Egypt with one, (Though none of this traffic includes Israehs).

Syria remains the only credible threat militarily.

The economy: Inflation is at its lowest point since 1971.

It is now about 15% a year down from the runaway rate of 80% just two years ago. But this has come at a cost in unemployment, reductions in real wages, and deep cuts in budgets for education and social welfare, (a major reason why increases in UJA funds are needed). But tax laws are being overhauled, the capital market is being reformed and there has heen some restoration of confidence. What is badly needed is more foreign investment.

Religion: The militancy of the Ultra Orthodox community and the failure of main line Orthodox leadership to take a stand has created what many consider to be Israels major political and social problem. Orthodoxy becomes more stridently obnoxious with each passing day to the 80% of the non-religious population. Even an Orthodox leader like Zevulan Hammer has come under intense fire for proposing dialogue on conversion standards. While the ultra Orthodox community is getting smaller proportionately it is also gettng noisier and is setting the agenda for the moderate Orthodox sector. Unless Orthodox religious leadership begins to make some accommodation with the 20th century in lisrael a major battle which wiU seriously damage both religion and the state is bound to erupt. Tolerance is being pushed to its limits.

Summing up: Lest anyone be discouraged by all of this, Israel remains a marvelously exciting and stimulating place with a lively intimacy. It has a bright future and a wonderful kind of Chutzpah that has achieved more in the past 40 years than can be described. Another 50,000 young idealistic Americans would make an enormous difference.

When we overreact to Israel I am reminded of a wonderful phrase Jesse Jackson (of whom I am no admirer) used at the Democratic convention in 1984 when, in apologizing for his "Hymie" remark said, "you know God has not finished with me yet." So too is it with Israel, God has not yet finished making it, but let us be grateful for the ferment and the possibilities for creating a Jewish civilization.

The Jewish Preaa reserves the right to edit letters for rtaaoBt of length or content.

To the Editor: On Thursday, Feb. 26 at 7 p.m., BBYO, Comhusker and Henry Monsky lodges of B'nai B'rith, and the Omaha Committee for Soviet Jewry, in conjunction with the B'nai B'rith Mobilization for Soviet Jews, will sponsor a candlelight vigil at Memorial Park. This vigil will give the community of Omaha the opportunity to speak out against the oppression of Jews in the Soviet Union.

Names of "refuseniks," those Jews who want to leave the Soviet Union but are not being allowed to, will be read by guest speakers. There will also be news coverage. It is very important that the community support us in our vigil, because as free Americans free to practice our religions we must make it known that we have not forgotten about our brothers and sisters in the Soviet Union. We are their hope—be there!!!!

To the Editor.

As we read the small article in the Feb. 13 issue of the Jewish Press about the reception for Golda Meir Fellows in Jerusalem, we received a letter frOta our son, Jon, who also attended this Awards Assembly for which Natan Scharansky and Yitzak Rabin spoke. Jon was also made a Golda Meir Fellow this year at Hebrew University.

We thought all those in Omaha who know Jon might be interested to learn that he is a senior lecturer at Hebrew U., teaching courses in Literary Criticism and Medieval English Literature to graduate and undergraduate students.

Scharansky is often called away to attend international conferences, and Jon would have spoken for the new redpienta had Scharansky been absent. He wrote us, "The ceremony was held in the University's Senate Hall, an impressive place, and the occasion itself was memorable."

Jon has lived in Israel over two years now, finds Jerusalem wonderfully exciting, and will probably make his home in Israel. Jon's book on allegory has just been published by both Oxford U. Press and Harvard Press.

Pushing policy through news

By Eric Rozenman Near East Report January included Cardinal O'Connor's controversial Middle East trip, filing of sentencing documents on confessed spy Jonathan Pollard and his wife, and release of the Senate Intelligence Committee's report on the U.S.-Iran arms deal—each with an important Israeli angle. So one hardly could expect a flood of good news last month about the Jewish state.

Nevertheless, the sheer quantity of stories which appeared in January in the Washington Post was staggering. Obligingly, the paper explained why in a series of editorials.

I As* noted here in a Nov. 17 column, "Facts Out of Context," the Post is the capital's preeminent news outlet.

What it covers, and how, helps shape debates on domestic and foreign policy.

Statistically, the paper ran 41 npws stories, three cdumns and three editorials exclusively or predominately about Israel. The news stories, of course, varied greatly in length and placement, but with the commentaries they amounted to roughly one-and-a-half items per day. These pieces occupied a total of 934 column inches-th» equivalent of nearly eight-and-a-half full pages of type, not counting headlines or pictures.

In the same two sections—the "A" or hard news section and the business pages—the Poet in January printed eight stories and two columns about Japan. These totaled 268 column inches, or a little more than one-fourth the cover-. age allotted to Israel.

Before someone pointd out the obvious—that Japan did ngt help the United States ship arms to Iran and so is not

likely to be featured in stories about the investigations, it should be noted that even without them Jerusalem got twice the coverage given to Tokyo. It is legitimate to ask whether items such as four consecutive stories related to the sentencing of Pollard, multiple updates on O'Connor and a lengthy feature m a group of dislocated Palestinian Arabs overshadow U-S.-Jiqumese relations, including iteues of historic trade deficits, Uie value of the dollar, and jobs.

Certainly many of the stories about Israel were justified by events. But the tone of the coverage, including headlines and display—if not the substance—suggests that it is Israel itself, not just the news, which is at issue. Why, for jexanqjle, did largely unrelated photos of Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres appear four times in stories about Israel and the Iran arms deal while photographs of perbe^s the two key figures—fired U.S. National Security stfiffer Lt. CoL Oliver Noitii and former National Security Adviser Vice Adm. John Poindezter—appeared twice and once, respectively? » Additionally, the flood of Israeli news was not as unrelievedly one-sided as a Post reader might have been led to believe. In January's Israel's unions, management and politicians vigorously debated and the Cabinet hanunered together phase two of an economic reform program, but the p^>er did not cover it. Nor did the Post mention the Sedom conference, at which a U.S. delegation including former Vice President Mondale and several members of Congress spent three days with leading l8raelis,-ezamining the success of the letter's embattled democracy.

By SuMB Paley t Vohmteer, Omaha Committee for Soviet Jewa iBditor's Note: The Soviet Jewry Education and Information Center (EIC) was eatablished in 1983 by Soviet activists now iding in Israel.

Former refusenik Shmael Azarkh visits with the children of the Jewish Day School during a recent visit to Omaha.

Prisoners of Zion. People just disappear. I do not miss Russia, only people; "In Moscow, my family lived very well. My profession was as an art critic, my wife is a professor; my family was enlightened. My gran(Aather was a member of the Haskala (Jewish Enlightenment). We were against the Soviet regime on principle. Gradually, the dissident movement drew me into refusenik life. In 1977, I lost my job. I worked then full time on Jemsh projects. We were the first group of Young Leadership in the dissident movement "In 1981, we were told that we must leave Russia immediately. They exiled us from Russia as a group. None of us had any Jewish education growing up. For us Judaism is a nationality. We kept tradition alive in our family because we were Jews, even thougH we were CommunistSi I attended the first seder of my life when we got to Israel.

I cannot tell you what it felt like.

"Actions taken by American Jews on behalf of Soviet Jewry are of tremendous moral and material help to Soviet Jews. They know that they are part of a big family.

When Americans visit the Soviet Union, people Imow that they are coming to see their brothers. We learned from antiSemites that one Jew will always help another, and that has helped people to survive through refusal. Even letters which do not get through, the KGB knows about. The Soviet machine understands that you are looking for these people, and if they should disappear, the West will know.

Americans must continue to write.

"Gorbachev's promises are fairy tales. The Russians are very good actord. They're playing their role like it's an American movie. They learned from America how to play 'Democracy'. Today they can release prisoners; tomorrow they-will arrest them. The only way they can show an honest change is by immigration. . "We must press the United States government to demonstrate not against Gorbachev, but against Reagan's polidee. When we are pressing our HHiininiirt-.raf.inn, it will press the Russians. Americans cannot understand this, and until this happens, we are speaking different languages. Thae ia a atraight linkage between disarmament and human rights. Negotiations are a trade, always. We must never give them disarmament without human rights," Mr. Azarkh concluded;

I'd like to tell you of a lovely visit I recently had with a lifelong member of this community—Mr. Milt Abrahams.

I had requested an hour or so of his time so I could learn how this man became so vitally involved in the Omaha Public Library. Though a busy attorney, he invited me to visit with him in his office. I asked what orginally interested him in the library.

"Well, I'm an old debater you know. 1 quickly learned when I needed information for a debate, the best place to find it was in the library. I spent lots of time in that old building downtown." He spoke enthusiastically. "The library gives absolutely anybody access to the work of the best minds the world has known. I can read what Cicero or Plato or Aristotle had to say, for example. The books connect today with the past... a conduit to the resources of the finest minds. And it's all free!"

His feelings about the library are related to many of his community ties. If this city has a dedicated volunteer who puts his efforts where his beliefs are, it is Milt Abrahams.

Through the years he has served on coimtless boards. More than 30 years ago he was asked to be a member of a commission to investigate municipal needs; one outgrowth of this study was the library project. He sat on the Library Board for 21 years and had the pleasure of seeing his major objective realized. The new Public Library. He explained, "The old library was too small and hopelessly outdated. We desperately needed larger quarters."

Years of the efforts of Milt and i>eople like him paid off, and today we have a beautiful new building. He says, "We must fit everything into the context of the greater community. That's why I work with the Joslyn Board, the Board of Education, the Methodist Hospital Board and the Urban League. All must be supported and sustained. We must try to make it better for the children of the future.

We must keep worlung, improving ... never let the fear of failure stand in the way of progress."

He tells me, while speaking of his community, that his great-grandparents bought a home here in 1866. He points to a framed plat of the Omaha area which shows the exact block. This is a bom and bred native. His roots are deep, as are his loyalties. He cares very much about his town.

There's no mistaking where the home and heart of Milt Abrahams are. Before I leave he wants me to know one last thing. "The most important future project for the Library is to bring it up to date electronically. They are still using antiquated systems and need to automate. When they are operating with electronics they will be able to exchange infoniiation with libraries everywhere."

Lest you think he doesn't intend to be involved in the fruition of this dream, he says, "It will take $900,000 to modernize the system. The Kiewit Foundation has pledged a little over $200,000 ... we need to get the rest." As you listen to him express his feelings, you feel sure that Milt Abrahams will help make it happen.

"My hope is, after the concerts, they will want to learn more about music and explore further into it." Mr. Amram has been commissioned for a musical residency in the Omaha Jewish community April 1-5. Among his many planned per-

rael Bonds were sold, Mr. Kirshenbaum is to be commended u State Chairman for his help in reaching these record breaking accomplishments."

Mr. Newman continued, "Nebraska has dedicated people who want to see Israel grow and I know with the help and support of our communities this goal will be met."

During the next six mcmths, Mr. Newman will be discussing changes in Bonds and how one can now look at Bonds for investment.
