Law Day, Constitutional Bicentennary and the Jews f By Oliver B. PoUak I University of Nebraska at Omaha I Law Day was conceived by the American ! Bar Association in 1957. In 1958, President bwight D. Eisenhower issued a Presiden[ tial proclamation in behalf of Law Day. In, [1961, a Joint i Resolution of t)B9ltfti88 set i. aside the first [ day in May as sLaw Day. This year Law Day takes on even greater significance as \ 1987 marks the 200th anniversary of the ConLStitutionofthe e United States. [The Jewish Oliver B. PoUak i Press in commemoration of this celebration i will be publishing occasional essays by lo'Cal Omaha lawyers on the meaning of the Constitution to American Jewry. The Constitutional Convention met in Philadelphia from May 25 to September 17, 1787. Thomas Jefferson, serving as Ambassador to France did not attend the Constitutional Convention. He characterized the framers as veritable "demi-gods." Philadelphia city officials spread fresh earth on the streets around the building to reduce noise. The windows were boarded up. Guards stood at the front. Proceedings were carried on in secrecy. Although no Jews were directly involved in the Constitutional Convention they made their concerns known to framers. Jonas Phillips (1730-1803) was a Hessian immigrant who landed in Charleston, South

Carolina, in 1765. He lived in Albany and New York. After going bankrupt he became the ritual slaughterer, a shohet, for New York's Shearith Israel Congregation. Around 1775, he moved to Philadelphia and became a merchant. He was an avid letter writer and his correspondence to his mother and business associates in Europe were written in Yiddish in part to confound authorities who might intercept his mail. Jonas Phillips also wrote on political questions. The letter printed below dated 24th Ellul 5547 and September 7,1787, was directed to the Federal Convention. It was found in what came to be called "The little red trunk" that had originally been owned by Thomas Jefferson when he was Secretary of State, and had apparently been detx)sited with the Department of State in 1796 by President Washington. "Sires I the subscriber being one of the people called Jews of the City of Philadelphia, a people scattered & dispersed among all nations do behold with Concern that amraig the laws in the Constitution of Pennsylvania, there is a Clause Sect 10 to viz—I do believe in one God the Creatur and governor of the universe and Rewarder of the good & the punisher of the wicked—and I do acknowledge the Scriptures of the old & New testiment to be given by divine inspiration—to swear & believe that the new testiment was given by divine inspiration is absolutely against the Religious principle of a Jew, and is against his Conscience to take any such oath—By the above law a Jew is deprived of holding any public office or place of Government which is a Contridictory to the bill, of Right Sect 2 viz That all men have a natural & unalienable Right to worship almighty God according to the dictates of their own conscience and understanding & that no man ought or of Right can be Compelled to attend any Religious Worship or Creed or support any place of worship or Maintain any minister contrary to or against his own free will and Consent, nor can any man who acknowledges the being of a God be JusUy deprived or abridged of any Civil Right as aCitizm on account of his Reli-

gious sentiments or peculiar mode of Religious Worship, and that no authority can or ought to be vested in or assumed by any power whatever that shall in any case interfere or in any manner Controul the Right of Consciepce in the free Exercise of Religious Worship.— It is well known among all the Citizens of the 13 united states that the Jews have been true and faithful whigs, & during the late Contest with England they have been foremost in aiding and assisting the states with their lifes & fortunes, they have supported the cause, have bravely fought and bled for liberty which they can not Enjoy.— Therefore if the honourable Convention shall in their Wisdom think fit and alter the said oath & leave out the words to viz—and I do acknowledge the scripture of the new testiment to be given by divine inspira-

tion, then the Israelites will think themself happy to live under a government where all Religious societys are on an Equal footing—I solicit this favour for myself my children & posterity, & for the benefit of all the Israelites through the 13 united states of America.' Ironically, three weeks before Jonas Phillips wrote this letter, the Convention on August 20, had unanimously adopted Article 6, the clause of the Constitution providing that "no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust imder the United States." The First Amendment, in the Bill of Rights, providing that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" was presented to both house of the first Congress on September 23,1789, and ratified by the states and became part of the Constitution on December 15,1791..Even then, the Constitution and the Bill or Rights limited only the federal government, not state government.

Heimberg selected teirit' s ^yat wji(gw By Bert Lewis

This morning the car radio informed me that today was Shirley Temple's birthday ... she was 59. Picture that— the adorable little munchkin with the dimples and curls, the tap dancer from the good ship LoUipop, 59! That's enough to disillusion anybody. Well, almost anybody. Not me, of course. I've known her since we were both little kids and she had curls and I didn't. 1 had a real love-hate feeling about her; I admired the way she looked and sang and acted and was green with jealousy over the way her curls bounced and the obvious depth of her dimples. And the clothes they dressed that child in! Mind boggling to say the least. Well, never mind. At 59 she doesn't look quite as cute as she used to. Oh that's not to say she isn't a very handsome, matronly looking woman. On the contrary. She's stunning, but she looks her age ... thank God. I couldn't stand it if she looked young and adorable! Another birthday I recently heard about was my old friend Elizabeth's. You know, the Queen of England. We've talked about her many times before and you may rememi ber she and I grew up together. I adniit there was a great distance between us at the time, but still, we were kids together. I didn't mind her appearance quite so much as Shirley's, however, mostly because she wasn't a very cute little girl. Her little sister was much better looking and that made it easier for me. To be brutally honest, she was ah-eady dowdy when she was a little kid. She wasn't yet wearing those awful hats but she al>vays looked like a midget woman rather than a little girl. And I guess I 've already written all I need to write about her lack of style, but I can't resist repeating the line I hear a comic use. He said "the Queen is now 61 years old. That mesms she and her purse are now the same age," Cruel, but I thought it was funny. Well, it could be worse. It's not MY birthday so what do I care? And anyway, most everybody knows how old I am beciiuse I'm very frank about it. What do I care if you know I 'm going to be 42 on my next birthday? As you can see, my newest project is writing fiction so I 'II be getting back to work now. It it's YOUR birthday, have a happy one! CLIP AND SAVE -

Camp Chaverim offers special program for 3rd and 4th graders Camp Chaverim will be offering special programs for third and fourth grade campers during each session this summer, announced Camp director Sara Jaffe. The Netzer group ("eagles" in Hebrew), led by returning counselor Michelle Abramson, will spend one day and night each session at Platte River State Park hiking, swimming, boating, horseback riding, shooting bows and arrows and camping out like Indians in real tepees. In addition, field trips, which will include visits to Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska City, Fort Atkinson and Lincoln await campers each week. "Netzers" will

also design and print their own special group T-shirts, write and produce a video, build ant farms, paint a mural on the gameroom wall and make their own sandals. "Camp Chaverim will provide the older campers with a unique camping experience," explained Ms. Jaffe. "The third and fourth graders have felt that camp was 'babyish' in the past.

A Hebrew-Russian Chumash for Soviet Jews Rabbi Arthur Schneier holds a copy of a Chumash (Five Books of Moses) originally printed in Vilna in 1902—one of 5,000 copies of the Pentateuch just air-shipped by thr Appeal of Conscience Foundation for distribution to Jews in the USSR. Rabbi Schneier, who is president of the Foundation, completed arrangements to ship the Chumashim with Konstantin Kharchev, chairman of the Council of Religious Affairs, USSR Council of Ministers, during his visit to Moscow in February. The copies of the Pentateuch, reproduced in the U.S. by photo-offset, were addressed to Rabbi Adolph Shayevich of the Choral Synagogue in Moscow, who will supervise their distribution as a gift to synagogues in different parts of the USSR. The latest shipment of Chumashim to the Soviet Union, also by the Appeal of Conscience Foundation, took place in 1977. Rabbi Schneier also announced that a shipment of 5,000 Hebrew-Russian prayer books (Siddurim) is now being readied for delivery to the USSR. Both the Chumash and the Siddur will be in Soviet synagogues in time for Sbevuot, Rabbi Schneier said. •

Who, then, will bear witness? By Abraham H. Foxman, associate national director of the Anti-Defamation Leagueof B'nai B'rith and himself a survivor. Time challenges the survivors of the Holocaust. Soon, they feel—10 or 20 years, 25 at the most—they will be gone. The thinning of their ranks at each Yom Hashoah foreshadows it. With each passing, they feel the loss not only of a comrade who shared their agony and pain but of another eyewitness to their tragedy. With each departure, the burden on those who remain becomes greater. For each survivor has a mission: To make certain that the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust are not forgotten, to ensure that the lessons of history's most efficient mass murder are understood as a warning of the ultimate dang«3 of prejudice. ^ Survivors believe that mission is the reason for their survival. Why else are they alive—despite the deadly experiments, the shootings, the gas chambers and the crematoria—while their fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, sons, daughters, friends and children are not. Inspired by this mission, each survivor is a living witness whose testimony resonates in the hearts and minds of humankind. Each strives to be heard not only so that the perpetrators of the Holocaust will be apprehended but to make certain that there will never be a repetition of this unprecedented and ruthless attempt to exterminate an entire people. Now, however, concern deepens as gaps in the ranks of the survivors widen. Has their mission been accomplished? Has the lesson of the Holocaust been learned? Or, as its memory dwindles into a historical footnote, will history repeat in another place, with another people, in some future time? Pondering these unanswerable questions, survivors wonder why—despite eyewitness testimony—so many difficulties and obstacles must be surmounted to apprehend and punish known war criminals, why a pseudo-school of scholarship that denies the Holocaust wins a hearing. And they ask themselves how it is possible that voices are raised in behalf of apprehended hut untried Nazi war criminals on the grounds that so much time has elapsed and they have not killed anyone since the Holocaust. Is there a statute of limitation on mass murder, survivors ask? And they worry as the years go by and they pass from the scene, whether the memory of what happened to the Jewish people will fade away and be buried with them. Resolved that this not happen, survivors know, however, that they cannot do it by themselves. They must have the moral and financial support of all decent-minded people, who, like themselves, want to put an end to racial and religious bigotry and the abuses they spawn. In just another generation, no svu^ivor will be among us. Who, then, will bear witness? That is the desperate question that each of us must ask ourselves. The future may well depend upwn our answer.

HAIFA — The Jonathan Pollard affair brings to mind another famous spy case involving Israel which reached its climax almost exactly 25 years ago, in 1962, While different in essence, the Robert Soblen case had many elements which parallel the present incident to a remarkable degree. Dr. Robert Soblen, a Lithuanian-born Jew, arrived in the U.S. during or soon after the war. At his trial later it was claimed that he and his family had been rescued from the Nazis by the Soviet authorities, and in return he agreed to enter the services of the Russian espionage. He was granted American citizenship in 1947 and created a name for himself as a successful psychiatrist and nerve specialist. In November, 1960, he was arrested by the FBI, charged with passing vital military secrets to the Russians, and after trial was sentenced to life imprisonment. His brother, who had earlier been sentenced on similar charges, testified against him. At the trial it was revealed that he was in the grip of leukemia, and doctors gave him only a year to live, but Soblen did not wish to spend that laA year behind bars. His lawyers fought the verdict, but all appeals were rejected, and on June 26,1962, he was to report to the police to begin serving his sentence. Instead, he skipped bail of $100,000, flew to Israel with a false passport, engaged a lawyer, and claimed asylum there. What ensued was a political, legal, diplomatic and ethical tangle which occupied public opinion for weeks and months. The Israeli police arrested him for illegal entry, and he was ordered held for ten days pending determina-

Hettteirs t® tike edatoir The Jewish Press reserves the right to edit letters for reasons of length or content. To the Editor: The passing of Dr. J. Lewis Yager is a profound loss to our community. He was a man of great knowledge and wisdom. He also loved Judaism and the Jewish people. He used his abilities and his love, in a quiet and dignified way, to be of service to others. He was a scholar and.teacher who had a passion for education. He served for many years as a member of the Board of Directors of the Bureau of Jewish Education and also of the Jewish Day School of Omaha. He participated in many philanthropic causes. Until the time of his death, he served on the Scholarship Committee of the Jewish Day School. (For reasons of confidentiality, the names of those who serve on the Scholarship Committee are not generally known until either their passing or retirement. Likewise, they serve, not for honor, but out of a sense of obligation.) He was a man of character and integrity, who also sparkled with wit, humor and charm. He was a righteous and kind man. In sum, he was all that a man should be in the finest sense of our tradition. May his memory be blessed and serve as an example to all of us, Steven J. Riekes To the Editor: . I would like to express my appreciation to all rabbis, cantors and all responsible for arranging a moving Yom Hashoah conunemoration at Beth Israel Synagogue last Sunday night. As long as we keep remembering those precious lives we lost we may avoid a repetition and in a way their losses may not have been in vain. The evil is always hovering over the heads of the innocent and we dare never to slumber. I also want to give credit to all who came showing the understanding and empathy for this monumental event. 1 am sure that I can speak for many of the survivors and others who are sympathetic to this cause. May God bless all. Miriam Grossman

tion of his fate. In the absence of an extradition treaty with the U.S. at the time, Washington nevertheless requested that he be sent back to serve his sentence, and considerable pressure was said to have been exerted by American officials. American Jews, for the most part, fearful of anti-Semitic relations as well as the bad name given to Israel, also urged that he be sent back. The Ben Gurion government made a quick decision, on a Friday afternoon, to expel him (not hand him over to the Americans) and the decision was quickly implemented on Sunday morning. A tremendous furore was raised in Israel centering on the fact that Soblen had been denied due process of law by not being given his day in court, and that his lawyer hbd not been informed of the expulsion order, which was carried out quickly over the weekend, despite the ten-day detention order. Jerusalem's reply that he had not been "handed over" to the Americans sounded hollow in view of the fact that a plain clothes U.S. marshal had b«en tipped off, and was also on the U.S. bound plane, to keep an eye on Soblen. While the plane was over Europe, Soblen managed to slash his wrists, there was a landing in London, and the fugitive was hospitalized there. The apprehension on the part of American Jews was to a large extent similar to that which was expressed in the Pollard affair. There were reports that the American Jewish community was "seized with anxiety," both because a Jew had been convicted of spying for Russia, and because he had sought asylum in Israel.

Eklitor's Note: Hie following materiBl was provided to the Jewish Press by the Cooper family. It shows again the value and importance of maintaining a correspondence with Ruasian Jewish lamiliea. To the Editor: My son, Joshua Cooper was given the name of Alexander Reingold as his Bar Mitzvah twin. Joshua began writing to Atexander in February, 1986. All letters were sent by

registered mail and return receipts were mailed back; however, the receipts always had different signatures on them. Joshua received no replies to his letters. On September 6, 1986, Joshua symbolically shared his Bar Mitzvah with Alexander. On October 17,1986, Joshua and his parents wrote letters to Alexander and his family. Photographs of the Cooper family and Alexander's empty chair, an article from the Jewish Press, and a Bar Mitzvah invitation were included. This packet was mailed to the R«ingold family by a couple who were visiting Russifi.March 16,1987, a letter from tlussia arrived! Joshua's mother and brother wanted to open the letter before Joshua returned home from school... but they waited. Joshua tore the letter open and began to read, only to realize that the letter was written in Russian! The letter has now been translated. Alexander makes reference to the fact that he has received only one letter and he also mentions the photographs. This means that the only letter he ever received was the one which was mailed from inside Russia; the other letters did not contain pictures. Cheryl Cooper Translation of letter to Joshua Cooper from Alexander Reingold of Minsk, Russia. March 8, 1987 Hi Joshua! I only received one of the letters that you wrote. I apologize for not answering right away. Thank you for the pictures that you seiit. I am in 7th grade and I have been studying English for almo8( 3.5 years. In Russia we start school at 7 years old. But we are expecting changes in the school program, and kids will start school at 6 years old. I can speak English pretty well, but it is much harder for me to write letters with. If it is difficult for you to translate ray letter, please let me know and I will write in English. My father can translate it for me because he took English classes. I was invited to compete in an algebra and physics contest, but I became ill and could not attend. We do not study religion in school and I don't know much about it. Although I have a Bible written in Russian and I read it sometimes. By the way, it was printed in 1888 in Austria. My hobby is radioelectronics and right now I am working on color music. At school I am studying the following subjects: Russian and Belorussian languages, Russian literature, algebra, geometry, Russian history, physics, geography, science, drafting, chemistry, music and shop. In shop we work with tools and very simple equipment. During the winter we have to shovel snow. In the spring and fall we have to shovel snow from the streets also. Our class is divided into five groups and each group has 7-8 members. Each group is assigned a day on which they clean the streets. That way each student has to only clean the snow 1-2 times.' Good-bye! Your friend, Alexander R. Message from Alexander's father, Gennady Reingold Dear Friends, If it is difficult for you to translate the letter, I'll help my son to write in English. I'll write a little bit later. ' Shalom and love, Gennady, Beat wiahea from Bcia

Divination, American style

^^^ By Eric Rozenmui ^ Near Eaat Report Three public opinion surveys—two recently released and one completed early this year—should fascinate anyone interesteid in U.S.-lsrael relations. The latest, a New York Times/CBS News PoU, indicates that the Jonathan Pollard spy case will not have a lasting effect on ties between Washington and Jerusalem, nor wil it increase anti-Semitic feeling in this country. One reason, perhaps, is that only 18% on the non-Jewish respondents knew that PoUard, a U.S. Navy civilian intelligence anar lyst, spied for Israel, while 62% of the Jews sxirveyed knew. The Times reported that "only 8% of Jews and 19% of non-Jews thought the affair would hurt relations (between the two countries) in the long term." Fifty-four percent of the Jewish respondents thought that the Pollard case, and Israel's involvement in the Iranarms sales scandal, would increase anti-Semitism in America. Only 33% of the non-Jews agreed. The survey suggested that anti-Semitism remains relatively low. Asked "do you think Jews have too much power in the United States," 21% said yes while 64% answered no. In the mid-1940'8 almost 50% of non-Jews thought Jews had too much power. A Harris Poll, taken in February and released in March, also dealt with a national cross-section of adults. It found that 68% considered Israel either a close ally or a country friendly to the United States, while only 18% saw it as an enemy or unfriendly state. However, in 1981 Harris found 84% who saw Israel as either a close ally or friend and only 11% who viewed it as an enemy or unfriendly country. Fifty-eight percent of the participants said that in the Arab-Israeli dispute they sympathized more with Israel; 8% sided more with the Arabs. In the latent Harris survey, 79% agreed with the description of Israel as "a small, courageous, democratic nation which is trying to preserve its independence," while 12% disagreed. Yet this category, too, showed some erosion; in 1976, 8(5% agreed while 6% disagreed. Moi^ ambivalent were the findings of a Gallup Poll done last October and November for the Chicago Council on For' eign Relations and updated in January to take account of the Iran-contra affair. Gallup measured both general pubi lie opinion and that of 343 leaders with foreign affairs [ knowledge in government, business, academia, communi[ cations and other fields. I Gallup's team found that, among the general public, the L top six countries in which the United States is perceived

to have a vital interest are (in order) Great Britain, Canada, Japan, West Germany. Saudi Arabia and Israel. But for the leaders, the top six are West Germany, Japan, Mexico, Canada, Great Britain and China. Saudi Arabia placed seventh, Israel eighth. The public ranked Israel sixth on a list of countriee for which it had "warm feelings'-behind Canada, Great Britain, West Germany, Japan and Mexico. Saudi Arabia, the first Arab country on the Ust, place 15th. At the same time, 54% of the public opposed sending U.S. troops if Arab states invaded Israel, while 57% of the leaders supported sending GI's in that situation. Of the general public, after the disclosure of the Irancontra affair, 42% wanted to maintain military aid levels to Israel and another 8% supported an increase, compared to 26% in favor of stopping it altogether and 16% supporting cuts. Among the leadership sample, asked only before news of the deal broke, 20% favored cutting military aid to Israel and 2% wanted it stopped. Seventy-one percent thought it should be k^t constant and 5% favored an increase, Of course, the modem fascination with surveys bears some resemblance to the ancient habit of consulting oracles and soothsayers. Whereas kings and commanders once sought guidance from the reading of animal entrails, today politicians, marketing analysts and academics turn to public opinion polls. Although the current method is neater, it is not infallible. If—after all the coverage—the Times and CBS found that 82% of the non-Jews and 38% of the Jews did not know basic details of the Pollard affair, perhaps one should be cautious of making too much of the polls.

spaurks ffrom The Word By Rabbi Myer S. Kripke

Parasbat Tazria-Mezora "When a woman..." People all ovfer the world reacted, in one fashion or another, to the news from England of the phenomenal results obtained by one couple from in vitro fertilization. This couple had two healthy babies l>om, a year and a half apart, from one successful fertilization of the mother's ova and the father's sperm. Some people reacted with curiosity. Others with joy for the couple and with hope for other couples. And some reacted negatively. For this whole process is different from (therefore contrary to) the natural process of conception. Among the latter were the spokesmen for the Vatican. Although there has been some discussion in Roman Catholic circles of the possibility of the advancements in science being used creatively and ethically in Catholic life, the Vatican has put a stop to all discussion of these 8ubject8,!ie., relating to rqsroduction, in the Catholic world. The Vatican pronouncement was not aimed at this particular couple and their success with in vitro fertili- . zation. But the timing was coincidentally extremely close. These subjects come naturally to mind when we read our Sidrah (Sidrot) for this Shabbat. Our Hebrew ancestors were much concerned with purity and avoidance of sinfuhiess and corruption and abnormality. In Bible times there were few opportunities to understand the processes of the human body, including reproduction; treatment of illnesses, therefore, was linked to attempts at religious recondiiation with a displeased God—an advance, to be sure, from reconciliation with and appeasement of

==^

various evil spirits. Vestiges of that kind are involved in the requirements that follow childbirth, as detailed in our Sidrah. Childbirth, and the treatment of iltoesses. We have learned that not all parts of the Bible are to be taken as directives for our own thinking and our own practices. The ancient rabbis had already given themselves the permission—indeed the duty!—to interpret the Bible according to their own ethical needs. When it comes to many matters of this kind, therefore, 'Judaism tends to be liberal. Excepting for some on the orthodox side of Judaism, there are few Jews who would support for Jewish reasons the position pronounced by the Vatican. Leaving aside the question of donor ova, donor sperm, and donor uterus,, most Jews would find, as I do, nothing but joy and admiration in the process of in vitro fertilization, to make possible the birth of a baby for a husband and wife hitherto infertile. We see no virtue in declar ing invalid the useful procedures developed by the searching, questioning human mind. We may not see scientific advance as the solution to all human problems. Obviously not. Some problems are clearly exacerbated by the reaching and probing of science. But here is one problem where scientific progress offers joy and hope. We must not reject it.

For Mom Ibxgrit's (gys M^ns^sw By B«rt Lewis

Every year at this time I wonder what I can find new and different to say about Motlier's Day. After all, when you've taliped about how terrific your Mom is and bow smart and how talented and what a good cook she is and all the rest of it, you hate to repeat yourself. It's kind of like trying to re-invent the wheel annually, and that's tough. There is a new look I could possibly expand on, thougli. Many of us have enjoyed Mother's Day for a very long time; some of us however, are going to experience it for the first time this year. I 'd like to direct my thought* and observatims to those women—the brand new members of the Mother's

aub.

I'm here to tell you a few simple facts. First of all, you're going to deaerve every one of those bouquets you will receive through the years. And every •in^ chocolate from every box of candy; and every handkerchief and eveiy slip and scarf and blouse and pair of earrings. You betcha you will. Ilie fact is, you 're going to EARN each and every one of U)e gifts that will arrive on the second Sunday of every May. Oh yeah, lady. They will rapreseat a lot of sleep you didn 't get, from the nights you wallced the floor with a fretful baby to the nights you lay awake wondering WHERE that Idd could be so latel Those gifts will also be a form of payment for the trips to school to listen to tiiis complaint or tliat praiae; to watch countless programs, to ask for or receive ez|danations regarding this or that; to kvell. Some of the beat gifts will be handmade by sticky little fingers ...they'll be the ones you still have long after the child has grown and started shopping at Saks. I don't know what gift is ^>propriate for the Mom who has taught all of her children to drive—the Distinguished Service Medal probably. She'll also be entitled to such a significant present if you count the timee she saved the Idds lives from an upset father (or teacher, or friend etc). Oh are you going to earn those presentsi If you're a brand new Mother you're pnibab^ young enough to remember all the things YOU did between adorable babyhood and responsible adulthood that helped YOUR Mom get grty. You can think back and better understand what I'm trying to tell you. In the meantime, if ttds is your first Mother's Day, I'd like to say Welcome to the Club. It's a very distinguished group of very lucky women you now belong to. It's true you'll pay for your thrills, but trust me. It's worth everything it costs. And happy First Mother's Dayl

The LOVE Crystal Banquet took place April 30. It was a gala, sparlding event. The program was very entertaining and a delicious meal was served with dispatch by Al and Reva Oruch, Ida and Yale Halperin, Shelia and Jerry Rosen, Kate Ferer and Sylvia Goldberg. Joan Bernstein was another LOVE member who helped to make this a successful affair. Tilis iSth Infilversary celebration was a fitting tribute to the dedicated LOVE volunteers. National Volunteer Week, which began April 26, appropriately recognized the outstanding cadre of woman and men who devote themselves to enhancing the quality of life at the Home. Have you noticed the showcase in the Center that displays the handicraft woric of the residents. Edith Rogert arranged this attractive exhibit. Spring was heralded at the Home with an abundance of lovdy flowers. LOVE provided the beautiful centerpieces for the Seders o^id the Mishpocha

CUcumciilon By NISSIM COHEN EXPERT MOHEL

Committee of Beth El donated the flowers which brightened the dining room tables. The B'nai B'rith Girls of M.Z. Yoshanah Chapter baked cookies for the residents. It was a very special treat having the young people come to visit. Polly Alter and Charlotte Bahm were honored by the residents on April 22 to mark National Secretary's Week. They do make life more efficient and pleasant at the Home. On that same day, some of the residents really had fun attending the circus. Harriet Cutler, MoUine Cassman, Marti Schneider and Bess Newman helped escort residents. See—still young at heart. Bobbie Kuydn, Sharon Kotok, and Lucille Zelinsky attended the Mid-America Congress on Aging, which was held at the Ried Lion Inn April 22, 23 and 24. Welcome to the new resi-. dents who have joined us during the past month; David Hahn, Al Swartz, Rose Goldstrom, Abe Kaplan, Bertha Shiff and Sara Cutler.

Benediction Eternal God, Creator of All, Ere we part, help us to remember. For only through active memory can we attempt to respond to a human tragedy of such tremendous proportions that it evokes only the silence of disbelief. Only through active memory can we attempt never to forget. Help us to remember the utter evil man is capable of when not guided by your word, Help us to remember the unspeakable horrors of the Shoah; the cruelty, terror and pain that your creatures inflicted upon others who they regarded as less than human, Help us to remember the victims—their lives and their deaths, for each human being is an entire world and among the greatest obligations we have is to remeftiber their names, even as their murderers sought to erase them forever. Help us to remember the courage of those who fought back both spiritually as well as physically even in the face of total inhumanity and the absurdness of senseless death, Help us to remember the heights of the human spirit that expressed itself in the creation of writing, art and music, of people who kept alive a glimmer of hope and faith in places where others tried with all their power to subdue. Help us to remember those of all countries who fought and those who died to fight evil and to rescue those dominated by it, Help us to remember that justice has no time limit and those who so brazenly rebelled against your laws can never escape the consequences of their acts of inhumanity, Help us to remember the individual righteous people of the world who risked their very lives to save other human beings when they could have easily looked the other way, Help us to remember, that only through education and active memory can we hope to eradicate prejudice, hatred and evil in our midst. Lord, indeed help us to remember, and help us to respond, Help us to bear witness to your name by fulfilling your teachings; "Ve-ahavta le-recha ka-mocha, Ani Adonai. You must love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord." Amen.
