Once Upon a time Hannah was a young Jewish girl soon to be Bat Mitzvah. Oh, how she longed to wear a new and beautiful dress on that day. Nathan was a tailor—a hard-working Jewish man with a family and a lifelong wish to take music lessons. Pearl'Was a widow, a proud Jewish woman in her 60's recovering from a serious illness. If she could just find someone to help with the housework until she got back on her feet. Well, somewhere between fantasy and reality, between 4hen and nov^, X|MMng4^»m>'^f ^^ named Natl^iah and a womftn Binwiran VDwI have a chance to smell the roses. Imagine... a 13-year-old-girI—lovely and bright, with not enough money to go to a movie. Like most Jewish girls her age, she anxiously awaits her Bat Mitzvah. Everyone will be there. It will be one of the most exciting days of her life. What she wouldn't give for a beautiful new dress and shoes. But Hannah can't afford a fancy new outfit. Hannah can only afford to dream. Nathan had been a tailor for 20 of his 38 years. His father was also a tailor. But Nathan's passion was music. He was a gifted composer with never enough mQney for music lessons. Even today, with only a few hundred dollars in a savings account, how could he afford to take music lessons? Nathan could only afford to dream. Five months after her husband died, Pearl had to go into the hospital. The surgery had gone well but recovery would take time. Family had moved away, incomes were of modest means and she felt uncomfortable asking friends for help. She needed a temporary housekeeper-just until she felt well enough to do for herself. But Pearl was on a fixed income. She couldn't afford a housekeeper. Pearl could only afford to dream. But dreams can come true, and now, in Omaha, Nebraska, they will, thanks to a very special fund administered by the Foundation of the Jewish Federation of Omaha. No, it's not for food and rent. Instead, it's been created to offer some of the extras of life—the sunshine, the inspiration, the hope. It was created so that people like Hannah, Nathan and Pearl could have a slice of their <lreams—like a new suit for that important job interview, a manicure after a long iUness, a field trip at school, a set of encyclopedias, a musical instrument, voice lessons, cooking classes, theater tickets, sports-the sunshine, the inspiration, the hope. Why this fund? "Because there's more to life than just food and rent," says the donor. "life needs cultural and personal enrich:, ment... meaningful recreation... the h^h spots. Sometimes we go along and just live a certain way and never know there's anything else out there. We don't ask for mor«. That's the 'why'-because we want to give people a moment and maybe they'll ask for 'more.' If not, they, at least, have a beautiful memory. Who's to say that isn't enouj^? Who's to say? ^ "Our own families come first. But there comes a time when we have to give back to others. We can't be selfish all the way to the grave. We have to think with our hearts. If for just one moment, we can throw a little sunshine on an otherwise dark and cloudy day, it's worth it. "Fifty dollars or five-hundred dollars-it may not seem like a big deal to you. But it's a tremendous thing to the person who receives it. It's comforting to give to others. It feels good. (Continned on Page 3) .•aiaMst^ssfiV'

1,000 mourners jam synagogue in tribute to Edward Zorinsky By Morris Maline The nation, state and city have paid their final respects to United States Senator Edward Zorinsky. More than 1,000 mourners—including a contingent from the United States Senate, and state and city political leaders—jammed Beth El Synagogue Sunday afternoon for the funeral service. . They joined in tribute to the Jewish senator from Nebraska who died March 6 following a heart attack. In addition trfhis wife, Gece, Senator Zorinsky is survived by sons, Barry and Jeffrey; daughter, Suzan Goodman; two grandchildren; his mother, Sonia Zorinsky, and sister, Esther Rice. Senator Zorinsky died at Methodist Hospital about an hour after performing a song at the aimual Press Qub show at Peony Park. He was 58. At Beth El Synagogue, the hearse from John A. Gentleman mortuary arrived about 2:30 p.m. Several baskets of flowers were carried into the synagogue lobby, but minutes later most were removed for use at the cemetery and for distribution to local nursing homes. The casket, draped by an American flag, was rolled in soon after. Police in vehicles and on motorcycles blocked traffic on Famam and Dodge streets to prepare for the arrival of dignitaries from Washington. A delegation from Washington had flown into Omaha and was transported to Beth El by Strategic Air Command buses. When Howard Ruback, former Beth El president, and Rabbi Paul Drazen suggested to police that blocking the street was inappropriate, the way was cleared for traffic to resume. Several members of the press including radio, television and print personnel sought out discreet locations to obtain photos. ' • •• The Washington delegation (see box on page 4) entered the sanctuary through the south door near the choir seats. A roped-off section of several rows had been reserved for them. Some 20 minutes before the scheduled start of services, the sanctuary seats holding about 700 were filled. Mourners continued to stream in and ultimately occupied standing space along the entire perimeter of the sanctuary including the upstairs balcony. Several Beth El congregants noted that this was the largest gathering of people to ever attend a service at Beth El. Now, it was quiet, and the quietness remained for several minutes as Cece Zorinsky and her children, along with the Senator's mother, took their seats in the front row near the casket. Cantor Emil Berkovits chanted the 23rd Psalm and Rabbi Paul Drazen referred to the Senator's death as "shock overwhelming" and said the Jewish tradition "teaches us not to be morose," but to "review the life of the departed and learn from it for our own monument of memory." Senate Chaplain the Rev. Richard Halverson said he had not met a "m(K« gentle, more beautiful man in the Senate"

Senator Edward Zorinsky and characterized him as a "one-man army... gentle and tough... frugal and generous." Sen. Orrin G. Hatch, a U^ Be(>ubUcan and a Mormoi^ spoke of his friend Senator Zorinsky aa a "truly great-man, one who stood up when others cowered." In his eulogy, Rabbi Emeritus Myer S. Krq>ke said it was appropriate that a senator and the Senate chaplain should participate. By doing so, the Omaha synagogue had been transformed in a "national House of God," Rabbi Kripke said. Representatives from the military escorted the coffin from the synagogue, and several himdred mourners drove to the cemetery for the final ceremony.

Federation condolence The Jewish Federation of Omaha mourns the loss of Senator Edward Zorinsky, and joins in extending sympathy to Cece and his fandly. His record of achievements on behalf of the people of Omaha and the state of Nebraska leave a legacy for all Nebraskans. Ed brought a realistic approach to all of the problems he faced in whatever politicjEil office he held. He brought deep pride to all Nebraskans, and he will be missed. Mort Trachtenbarg, President Jewish Fedwation of Omaha

Israelis see painful lessons in Pollard case

juvs morawiDS WOULD. WASHINGTON-Former civilian Navy intelligence analyst Jonathan Jay Pollard b driven from U.S. District Court March 4 after receiving a life sentence. Mr. Pollard was convicted of selling VS. military secrets to Israel. Anne Henderson PoUard, Mr. Pollard's wife, received two concurrent five-year aentencea for her role hi the espionage conspiracy.

By David Landan JERUSALEM (JTA) - Israeli leaders and Knesset members across the political spectrum have agreed that U.S.Israel relations were seriously damaged by the case of Jonathan Pollard, who was sentenced to life imprisonment by a federal court in Washington March 4 for spying for Israd. Pollard's wife, Anne Henderson-Pollard, was sentenced to five years as an accessory. While there was some sympathy here for the couple, the overriding consensus is that Israel has painful lessons to learn from the episode and that it must punish those involved with Pollard in what the government claimed from the outset was a "rogue operation." "The (Pollard) trial was not the trial of a nation, but of an individual," Vice Premier and Foreign Minister Shimon Peres said, reacting to the news of the stiff sentences. He noted that Israel luid "made it clear before the trial" that Pollard's case was a big mistake. "The error was big, but it remains an individual case and I would not draw any collective responsibflity from it." He added that he hoped "it would never happen again," and that indeed is the lesson learned from the affair. Pollard, a former U.S. Navy civilian analyst, pleaded guilty to the spying charges after his arrest in 1986. In Jerusalem, Labor MK Abba Eban, diaurman of the Knesset's (Continued on Page 2)

Israelis see painful lessons in Pollard case (Continued from Page 1) Foreign Affairs and Security Committee, and its former chairman, Likud MK Eliahu Ben-Elissar, agreed that the case had damaged Israel's special relationship with the U.S. "This might be the toughest time in the history of Israel's foreign relations," said Eban, a former Foreign Minister. He stressed the "terrible responsibility" of those who had mounted the Pollard spy operation. He demanded that the government explain why it appointed one of them, Rafi Eitan, to the prestigious civilian post of chairman of Israel Chemicals and why another, Air Force Col. Aviem Sella, recently was promoted. BenElissar, once a Mossad operative, called for a thorough investigation of the role of Israelis in Pollard's spy operation. Premier Yitzhak Shamir, the Likud leader, went on record this week as opposed to any further inquiry. "I do not underestimate the gravity of the damage" to U.S.-Israel relations, Ben-EIissar said. He said it would be long-lasting and that the "aspect of dual loyalties" would be harmful for American Jews. MK Mordechai Virshubski of the Shinui Party demanded

the resignations of Ariel Sharon and Moshe Arena, Minister of Commerce and Industry and Minister-Without-Portfolio respectively in the unity coalition. Both are former Defense Ministers and Virshubski said they should leave the Cabinet because of their previous ministerial responsibility for setting up the "Lekem" intelligence unit which drafted Pollard. Lekem, headed by Eitan, has since been disbanded. Yossi Sarid of the Citizens Rights Movement (CRM) urged that Eitan be fired from Israel Chemicals. The National Religious Party declared that all those responsible must be held to account, as Israel originally promised the U.S. The NRP seemed to be referring specifically to Col. Sella who has been described as Pollard's "handler," The media expressed sorrow for Pollard and his wife. Some newspapers blamed U.S. Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger for Pollard's life sentence because of his testimony to the court that Pollard's espionage severely compromised U.S. intelligence. Ben-Elissar had no criticism of the American judicial process. "However much it hurts to say this, the Pollards were traitors to their country, and I say this even though it was my country that benefitted from their treachery," he said.

U.S. Grand Jury indicts Israeli Col. Sella

By Judith Colp WASHINGTON (JTA) - Israeli Air Force Col. Aviem Sella was indicted by a federal grand jury on three charges of espionage. Sella was charged with conspiring to deliver classified U.S. military information to Israel with Jonathan Pollard, a U.S. Navy euialyst who has confessed to spying for the Israelis, and several Israelis. The charge carries a maximum of life imprisonment and a fine of $500,000. However, Sella is not expected to stand trial, as the U.S- extradition treaty with Israel does not include espionage. Sella recently was promoted to commander of Israel's second largest air base, a move which angered the U.S. State Department, which said it expected Israel to "call to account" anyone involved in the Pollard case. Sella was Pollard's first contact in providing Israel witli classified national defense documents, according to the indictment. Sella was a graduate student in New York at the time.

I mention television from time to time—actually, I don't really watch a lot, but morning shows do get my attention. Particularly those interview programs which I use to keep me company while I'm preparing to get going on my day. I've made a discovery about all of them... there are only two to three topics they deal with: I. Overweight, II. Sex Disorders and III. The Weird and/or Near Weird. I'll prove it. Start with I. With great frequency one or the other of those programs either has a panel of people whose combined weight is just under a ton or perhaps an author who just wrote a new diet book; or a nutrition expert or an exercise nut or somebody who advocates eating nothing but sesame seeds and grapefruit peel to guarantee a weight loss of 35 pounds in four days. Even style is included... I've seen designers on such shows who make clothes for the larger sizes only. So much for topic I. Next, Topic II. This offers a multitude of possibilities. Just recently I tuned in to a panel of five stunning women-who turned out to be men. They like to dress as women, wear make-up, jewehy, the whole bit. I've also seen people face the camera and tell America the most intimate details of their lives. Then there are those who want the world to know that without this or that they feel less than "mucho-macho." The experts who operate clinics to help with problems like to come on and cause you to wonder if you heard correctly and if it's normal to blush when you're all by yourself. And the authors... oh yeah. Books are printed hourly on the subjects of aberration from the norm. Yes, this topic is definitely a biggie. If you think about it, almost any program can deal with some offshoot of either of the two subjects above. There is, however, a possible third. The Weird. I can best describe this one by telling you of tuning in the other day and seeing a well dressed, articulate man talking about his experience while in the hands of flying saucer people in oilter space! Honest to GodI Well, you probably get the idea. My point was there are only a couple of subjects they all use, and what results is variations of those subjects. The book people connect, the counselors connect, the clinicians and of course, the "victims" for sure! So what, you might ask? Beats me, but I have to have something to write about, don't I?

A conference to enlist Midwestern urban groups in a growing nationwide coalition to deal with the farm crisis ?nll be held in St. Louis March 21-22, it was announced this week by Rabbi James Simon, director of the Midwest Council of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations (U AHC), central body of Rejform Judaism.

Once upon a time (Continued from Page 1) "Stop and think of someone who has less than you. Get into your heart. What does your heart say to do? Then, do it." Once upon a time, there was an Omaha Jewish family who did not light Hanukkah candles. They had no menorah and no money to buy one. Today, thanks to the compassion and the insight of one human being for another, and to the Foundation of the Jewish Federation of Omaha, the Hannahs, the Nathans, the Pearls and at least one Jewish family in Omaha can afford to smell the roses. A fairy tale? Not any more. Once Upon A Time—a tribute to the Foundation of the Jewish Federation of Omaha—it's staff and your dollars.

The conference, which will be held at Congregation Shaare Emeth, 11646 Ladue Road, starts at 5:30 p.m. Saturday, March 21 and ends at 6:30 p.m. Sunday. To register, write or call Rabbi Simon at the UAHC Midwest Council, 10425 Old Olive Street Road, St. Louis, Mo., 63141; the telephone number is (314) 9977566. The registration fee of $35 covers a Saturday dinner and a Sunday luncheon.

Edward Zorinsky—the first Jew to be elected to the United States Senate by the State of Nebraska—is dead at the age of 58. As a Jewish community, our heart goes out to his grieving family: his wife, Cece, their children; his mother, sister and other family members. He died much too young. In his second term as a United States Senator, he appeared to be unbeatable in his upcoming bid for a third term. At times, he had even been mentioned as a possible candidate for the vice presidency of the United States and there are some who have proposed that in the years ahead he might have been a candidate for the highest office in the Ed and Cece land. Senator Zorinsky pulled himself up by his bootstraps and pursued a political life with vigor. He was extolled as a charismatic politician having fundamental human qualities which endeared him to his constituents.

community. Couples may work together as advisors to one chapter. Previous experience and special training are not necessary although advisors should have good communication skills, a sense of humor and relate well to people. Advisors are expected to attend chapter meetings, executive board meetings and ch^Mfone chapter events. In addition, advisors maintain regular communication with chapter presidents and serve as sounding board to chapter leaders. BBYO provides training sessions to give advisors the spedal skills necessary to be effective in guiding their chapter's. Advisors are not expected to plan programs or tell the youth what to do—BBYO is a youth run program and advisors advise and provide leadership only. BBYO has a long and deep history and tradition in Omaha. I am certain many of you reading this letter will remember and appredate some particular experience BBYO afforded you as a youth and you will want to respond to that memory by volunteer^ to serve as an advisor now. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact the BBYO office by phoning Carol Kaplan, BBYO director at 334-8200 or contact me directly. Remember you can have a lasting effect on your community now and in the future by providing the leadership necessary for these youth. Janet S.

Boschwitz expands matchmaking services Senator Rudy Boschwitz sai(fhe's going to "take the show on the road." Sen. Boschwitz, noting that yoimg Jewish singles on Capitol Hill had difficulty meeting, began sponsoring and holding singles functiofls two years ago. Now, about 14 functions plus a large number of engagements and marriages later, he says the functions are so popular and successful that he will partidpate in starting up groups in other dties. Sen. Boschwitz, the father of four unmarriisd sons, aged 28,27, 23, and 20, has gotten a group started in MinneapoUs-St. Paul that he says is also "doing just

fine." "About half as many people show up in Minnesota as do in Washington, where the largest fiinction was 1,200 pMple which is ahnost too large," said Boschwitz. "My assistant Shadchan, Beth Gotlieb, and I would help dties that request our help put the first event togethm- and I would attend," said Sen. Boschwitz. Boschwitz invites thoee who are interested to write Beth and himself at the U.S. Senate, Washington, D.C. 20610. "Anyone having children, nephews, nieces or friends in Washington who should be on my list, just call or write us and ^e'll see that they

are invited," said Boschwitz. "Quite aside from meeting other young Jews, many of those who have come

have been sincerely moved that a U.S. Senator cares about them omtinuing their heritage," said Boschwitz.

Hapoel meet... an anniversary treat HAIFAâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Early on the morning of Monday, May 4, Isriael Independence Day on the Hebrew calendar, the torch will be lit at the grave of David Ben Gurion at Sde Boker. It will be handed on to a aeries of "runners", including one on horseback, a Beduin astride a camel, a bicyclist, and finally a sprinter who will carry it into the Ramat Gan Stadium where 60,000 spectators will watch as the flame will rise to the top of a high tower. The quadrennial Hapoel Games, 13th in the series, will be under way. This will be the biggest and the most spectacular of all the meets that preceded. More than 2,000 sportsmen from 40 countries will take part, in addition to some 1,600 Israel athletes, and about 6,000 members of local youth groups who will stage mass gymnastic displays. Hie Htpoel Games differ from the Maccabiad in that the latter is primarily for Jewish athletes, whereas Hapoel invitM the leading sportsmen of all countries, making this a truly international event. A number of world champions have already indicated their participation. Not^uite as certain will be the presence of some countries with which Israel has no diplomatic relations. Teams are expected from Hungary, PoUnd and Romania; East Germany had the courtesy to reply with a flat "no"; as of this writing USSR participation is in doubt. Japan, maprisingly, appears to place political considerations before the international brotherhood of sport. Mwocco and Egypt have still not replied. If the Chinese could play ping pong

By Carl Alpert with the U.S. even prior to diplomatic relations, could not an enlightened government in Beijing send a team to Tel Aviv? The final list of national participants will be significant. For a week, through the closing ceremony on May 11, visitors will have an opportunity to witness world class competitions, scheduled to take place in various parts of the country. Thus, basketball will be played in all three major cities; fencing will be in Acre, canoeing at Tiberias on the Sea of Galilee, chess in Natanya, handball in Ness Ziona and Rishon LeZion, judo and karate in Tel Aviv, rugby in a number of kibbutzim, shooting in Herzlia, tugof-war in a Druze village, wrestling in Nazarethâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;with other major sports similarly scattered about the land. There will be 20 track and field competitions. One of the new fields to be introduced this year will be equestrian events. In view of Israel's economic difficulties, is this the time to stage a major and costly affair of this nature, we asked Giora Glazer, director of the organizing committee. Mr. Glazer, a former kibbutz member, and a graduate of Wingate Institute, waa quick to point out that the last Htqpoel Games, in 1M3, kiet no money, and as things are going now, they hope to achieve at least the same this year with their 13,000,000 budget. The magnitude of the event, and the enormous international attention which the Games always receive, have drawn the interest of commercial factors. Realizing the public relations value of the Games, the Israel

government is also providing practical oicouragement. The United Kibbutz Movement is providing manpower to the extent of 1,600 working days. "This will be a festive holiday," Mr. Glazer told us. "It will bring tourists to the country, will raise morale, and will put Israel on the map of world sports." When the Hapoel Games were first inaugurated in 1962 the emphasis was placed on numbers, and competition was downplayed. The slogan was alafim velo alofim (thousands, rather than champions). In recent years the slogan has been changed to alafim ve-alufim (thousands, and champions too). As in recent years, the Hapoel Games precede the World Olympics by one year, and in the same spirit there could wdl be a genuine breakthrough in Israel's international relations on the sport level which could yet affect the political scene as well Since the Maccabiad is also held every four years, the two events alternate at two year intervals. Many of the visiting H^Mel sportsmen will be housed in Kfar Hamaccabiah. And at the last Maccabiad, Mr. Glazer was m charge of the closing ceremony; he has akeady been named a member of the organizing committee of the 1989 Maccabiad-all indications of a new and healthier relationship m the traditional rivahy between Hapoel and Maccabi hen at home.

Parashat Tetzaveh Shabbat Zakhor The Purim of mankind The trial in Jerusalem necessarily reminds us of the trial of Eichmann. Eichmann was sentenced to death and hanged. His crimes against the Jewish people and against humanity more than merited the punishment. If Demjanjuk is adjudged, beyond doubt, to be Ivan the Terrible, his penalty may be of the same severity. The Eichmann trial included a devilishly interesting defense: His German attorney cleverly appealed to Biblical and rabbinic theology—and their "philosophy of history"-to suggest that every evil that falls on the Jewish people is the Lord's response to Israd's own failii^. Hence the Holocaust, and Eichmann, were the Lord's punishment of Israel. So said Eichmann's attorney. A similar point is made about the attack of Amalek against the refugees from Egypt. Scarcely had they crossed the Sea of Reeds, miraculously, scarcely had they tastisd the mapna, than they complain against the Lord that they have no water. And again, miraculously, the Lord provides water for them through the agency of Moses' rod. But the place is named "Massah u-meribah," "Trial and Quarrel," because the people had dared to ask, "Is the Lord really with us or not?" The very next verse pointedly reports the attack of the Amalekites. Here too, again, the point is made: When the people, through Moses, look to God, they prevail—otherwise not. The Midrash permits itself a considerable excursus on this view of history. When Israel studies Torah, when Israel shows faith in God, when Israel's heart is pure-then all is well. Otherwise not. Instinctively we draw back from such conclusions, if offered without adequate qualification, because of the use of this approach by Eichmann's attorney—and

by certain over-zealous sects in Israel. These latter have interpreted terrorist attacks, involving the murder of Jewish children, as the Lord's punishment (listen!) for the use of Mezuzot that are not ritually perfect! Were Assyria, Babylonia, Haman, Petlura, Hitler, Eichmann, Ivan the Terrible, to name a few, including Amalek, the Lord's agents? Were some but not others? How can we distinguish among them? We are reminded to remember Amalek on this Sabbath before Purim. Amalek becomes the prototype and example of Israel's attackers over the centuries. In our day the mind necessarily moves to the Holocaust. We do not attribute the Holocaust, repeat, do not attribute it to faults of shaky faith and poor performance of Mitzvot in the House of Israel. Whatever our faults, the Holocaust is not explainable in those terms. Rather we face up to the failures of the human race itself, which has not yet created a mankind that can be relied on for decency. I remember how the euphoria that followed World War I evaporated, how the hopes that followed the devastation of World War II and the Holocaust disappeared. like a cloud. Our age especially is an age that demands that we remember Amalek—and celebrate Purim—with human failures in mind. But our memories should issue forth not into gloom and despair, but rather into determination and effort. Mankind' has not yet destroyed itself. We begin with our own integrity and faith. We should move on to choose leaders of integrity and vision. The Purim of mankind, the defeat of evil, may yet be forthcoming.

Glasser ruled in a suit, brought by Kahane that the State Department did not have the right to rescind Kahane's U.S. citizenship in 1985. The State Department has argued that by serving the the legislature of another country, Kahane was voluntarily relinquishing his citizenship. Kahane founded the Jewish Defense League in the United States and the Kach Party in Israel. He immigrated to Israel in 1971.

EDIAR BBG By Amy Cohen Spaj^ti, a chikl pornography cultural at the Blumkin Home, lots of full meal deals sold at the JCC on T'Bshvat, and bagel sales galorelil All of these programs happened on BBG Shabbat Weekend, Feb. ISIS. BBG Shabbat was a success for all who attended, and we'd like to thank all those who participated in the weekend activities. Ediar BBG |710 held a fundraiser that raised a $157 profit for the group. Bagel boxes were sold and distributed for the first two weeks in February. This was our most successful fundraiser this year and Ediar would like to thank all those people who helped support this chapter. The money will go to fund summer rushes to gain new members for Ediar and to ISF (International Service Fund) which is the international charity organization for BBYO. Coming up on March 24, 1987, Ediar joins the Council in a trip to see comedian Bill Cosby in Lincoln. Ediar BBG is an active, spirited crowd of girls looking for

others to help make this BBG chapter the best in Mid-America Region.

David Amram, 66, "jammed" at age 12 with Duke Ellington's jaxz mentor, Louis Brown. "They saw I had something," he said. His "big thrill" now is rumbling around in his Putnam VaUey, New Ym-k farm on a tractor. Mr. Amram credits the Hebrew prayers he learned at home for his start in a musical career. "Music in most cultures is a very old wisdom, a spirituality passed down the generations," according to Mr. Amram. Mr. Amram has collected day, stone and wooden instruments from his travels as a world-wide musical ambassador. They are frequently incorporated in his compositions and performances of jazz, classical, ethnic and religious music. He has been commissioned for a five-day residency in Omaha's Jewish community, whkh will showcase his many musical facets, according to Marda Lipsman of the Jewish Cultural Arts CoundL

Active in many American Indian causes, Mr. Amram says he is exdted to be coming td the Midwest. "I otmsider part of my Jewish training to be a learned respect for the earth and what it gives us ... Native Amoican culture is based upon that." Currently, Mr. Amram works as a guest conductor for 14 orchestras. He also is commissioned for the Jewish Arts Festival in 1987 and is working on a children's project for the Julliard School of Performing Arts.

Israeli teenagers visit Omaha Omaha families are hosting two Israeli high school students, Ofer Shtricker and Orit Gidron, who ar^ participating in an international youth mission organized by the Israeli Ministry for Foreign Affairs. Ofer Shtricker, 16, is ah eleventh-grade student at a Tel Aviv high school. "There was always a stfong push to study in our house," says Ofer, whose parents, survivors of the Holocaust, never had the opportunity to study themselves. Ofer still finds the time to play table tennis daily, go to movies, dance, listen to music and "read a lot." From fourth to sixth grade, Orit Gidron, 17, studied at the American International School in Lagos, Ni-

r

geria, where her father was working at the time. Orit "made many friends from all over the world" in Lagos and has maintained contact with several of them. At her high school in Ramat Hasharon, north of Tel Aviv, Orit is majoring in chemistry. She enjoys hiking, jazz and folk dancing, water skiing, playing the guitar and singing. Ofer and Orit are among 46 young people who will be meeting with their peers in dozens of American cities under the auspices of the program, now in its 14th year. While in Omaha, Ofer and Orit will speak at high schools in the area. The students will also meet with local community and media representatives.
