Report hits U.S. banl<s for boycotting Israel NEW YORK-Despite free-flowing trade between the United States and Israel that require extensive banking services, not a single American Bank maintains branches in Israel for fear of offending Arabs, states the Boycott Report of the American Jewish Congress. The current issue of the newsletter offers the case of Chase Manhattan Bank. Chase recently took out a two-page advertisement in the Wall Street Journal, boasting of its internationally widespread services and Listing the 80 countries around the world in which it has offices, including the British Virgin Island, tlfb Channel Islands and Monaco. Israel was not inclpded. Before the enactment of the Export Ad-
ministration Act in 1976, which made acquiescence to the Arab boycott of Israel a crime, David Rockefeller, then chairman of Chase Manhattan, explained to a delegation of AJCongress officials the bank's practice as a necessary evil of doing business in the region: "If we were to open a branch (in Israel) with all the tensions which exist between Israel and the Arabs, all our business in the Arab world would be boycotted and come to an end." -' Technically, the American banks are not in violation of the anti-boycott laws, which does not prohibit a refusal to do business in Israel if the refusal was not the result of an Arab request or an agreement with Arab customers, the report stated.
Trachtenbargs, Lewises to lead 1987 Omaha Mission to Israel By Joanie Jacobson Federation pnbUc relations director Mort and Shirley Trachtenbarg will join Leonard and Bert Lewis to lead the Omaha Mission to Israel, Nov. 2-11, hosted by the 1988 Jewish Federation Campaign. Mr. Trachtenbarg, president of the Federation Board of Directors, and Mr. and Mrs. Lewis, co-chairmen of the 1988 Federation Campaign, accepted their position to head the Mission "in the spirit that those who lead the community shall lead the Mission." "Since becoming president of the Jewish Federation," said Mr. Trachtenbarg, "I have learned that missions to Israel are an integral part of a Federation's annual activity. I am delighted to be part of this renewed commitment in Omaha." "If Not Now... When?" is the message of the 1987 Omaha Community Mission. Promotional materials ask, "When will there be a more exciting time to visit the Jewish homeland as it prepares for its 40th anniversary year? When will there be a more affordable time than a subsidized Jewish community group Mission?" Subsidies will be provided to all eligible contributors by the Jewish Federation of Omaha "This is my first trip to Israel," remarked Mrs. IVachtenbarg. "It's always been a thfaik that I'm realty going. It's a perfect time for us, "she contLaUed. "Our children are grown and Mort has made such a stroog commitment to the Federation. We'd be happy to talk to anyone who is even thinking about making the trip. It's imfwrtant for all of us to see Israel." Details and the itinerary of the Mission will be presented at two informal gatherings to be held on Tuesday, Aug. 4, 7:30 p.m., at the Lewises' home, 770 North 93rd Street, and on Tuesday, Aug. 11, 7:30 p.m., at the Trachtenbargs' home, 2115 South 115th Street. Those wishing to attend are asked to RSVP to Mrs. Lewis, 391-7014, or Mrs. Trachtenbarg, 333-6360, or to the Federation office, 334-8200. "Leonard and I were,in Israel in 1986," explained Mrs. Lewis. "For a Jew, there's

However, with a $1,500 mininriim gift to the 1988 Federation Campaign, the Federation will provide a $1,000 subsidy toward the cost of the Mission; and with a $750 minimum gift from an accompanying spouse, the Federation will provide a $500 subsidy toward the cost of the Mission. "This is a community Mission," concluded Mr. Lewis. "The joy and exhubei^ ance in visiting Israel can only be enhanced by sharing it with friends and family from our own Omaha Jewish community. It's like we say, 'Go with your spouse. Go with a friend. Go with your brother or sister. Go by yourself. But go.' "
Shultz: Bilateral negotiations still key BALTIMORE, JTA - Secretary of Stat6 George Shultz discussed his "central theme" of foreign policy before the national convention of Hadassah here Monday evening, telling the 2,600 delegates that like their founder, Henrietta Szold, the United States must "remain engaged in global affairs." Noting at the outset that "discussing engagement to American Jews is like preaching to the choir," Shultz said he was disturbed by signs that some Americans are "growing tired" of this commitment. He oSered an overview of why the United States must maintain its role as the active leader of freedom throughout the world, focusing on the Persian Gulf and the Mideast conflict, and offoing warm praise for Israel as "our faithful ally and perpetual friend." The Secretary of State, who later received Hadassah's highest honor, the Henrietta Szold Humanitarian Award, said that it is in America's interests that Iran not dominate the other countries of the Persian Gulf and that the USSR not play an increasing role in the oil-rich region. "We need to stand up diplomatically there, and we are," he said, "and we can't allow ourselves to be pushed out."
He said the US will continue to be engaged in the Mideast peace effort, with the key being direct, bilateral negotiations. "Thwe is considerable work to do," he said, "and it may never come to pass, but we must work on it." Recalling the euphoria he senised among the Israelis following the late Egyptian President Anwar Sadat's visit to Jerusalem a decade ago, Shultz asserted, "I know in my bones that Israel wants peace." But he also emphasized several times in his 35minute remarks that "Jordan's King Hussein wants peace as well." (Indeed, one veteran State Department official noted that "the most interesting thing about this speech was what he didn't say"—for instance, he never mentioned Syria.) Shultz said the Administration agrees with Hussein that there should be Palestinian representation at the peace talks and that the Palestinians should be part of the Jordanian delegation. As for Soviet participation, Shultz said they "deserve a place at the peace table only if they act in a deserving way." He called on Moscow to recognize Israel and enhance its treatment of Soviet Jews before seeking a role in peace negotiations. ^H

Letter to a concerned friend Keeping them home At a meeting the other day, five adults looked at each other across a conference table and talked about where their grown children were. Of the nine children involved —all of whom had graduated from college—all were residing out of Nebraska. Although this on-the-spot survey is decidedly unscientific, it is reasonably safe to say that this is the situation, friends: our Jewish children are becoming high-technology professionals rather than businessmen and are moving to locations with more economic opportunity. This thought is confirmed by the findings in the 1987 American Jewish Year Book, just published by the American Jewish Committee. According to this publication, the high-plains states (Montana, Wyoming, and the Dakotas ) the Midwest, and the south-central states (Alabama, Mississippi, and Arkansas) have all shown significant Jewish losses. . Wyoming dropped from 1,300 to 400 Jews, a 77 per cent decline, and Iowa fell from 16,000 to 6,600, a 69 percent drop. At this point, I do not know how Nebraska has fared, but I suspect that we too are in the same sinking boat. The authors of the Year Book point out that changes in the Jewish occupational profile over the past 25 years, from light manufacturing and merchandising to high technology and personal service professions, led Jews to move to those cities and metropolitan regions that offered the greatest advancement opportunities. As a result of this trend, Washington, D.C. has become a major Jewish center. Rochester, Minn., home of the Mayo Clinic, and Huntsville, Ala., site of a major aerospace in- • stallation, also increased their Jewish populations significantly although the total Jewish populations in these states actually declined. Enough of the stats. We all are aware of the problem. The question is what can we do to minimize the outflow of our young Jewish talent and maximize the opportunities that may await them in Nebraska, particularly Omahe^ and Lincoln, and in Council Bluffs, Iowa. One idea that seems to have merit is to encourage business leaders of our communities to establish a small business investment company. This entity would contain a pool of capital and committed Jewish leaders who would use their business expertise to help young college graduates and others interested in business to get started. There is a wealth of business talent in this area. Let's use it to get our children started so that they can laatry and enjoy happiness and success here rather than there.
Thanks to you... it works... forALLOFUS

seas in search of haven—at such a time would not a free and independent, albeit imperfect Israel, have made a considerable difference in modem Jewish history? With all its imperfections, that struggling little state has successfully absorbed well over two million survivors from Europe and other refugees who came from Arab lands. It has created an agriculture, an advance industry and an educational system of which it may be proud. It is an island of true democracy in an area of military dictatorships and medieval intolerance. There is a flowering of modem culture as expressed in art, literature and music which has earned world attention. In the larger sense, it is a great \8uccess story, warts and all. Israel is more than history, geography, institutions or a political framework. In essence a country is composed of people. Those who have come here bringing with them the influences of their previous backgrounds and experiences, their phobias and their complexes, their philosophies and their standards, are the ones who have made it what it is, for better or for worse. It will take several generations for the new, native-bom Israelis graduaUy to alter the mold and create one that is indigenous, rather than only a transplant from abroad. Here we must say something that many Americans Jews don't like to hear. How many American Jews have come to make their home in Israel? 50,000? Certainly less than 100,000—yet their influence has been enormous, far in excess of their actual niunber. When we are in pensive mood, we like to imagine what the nature of Israel society would have been like—could still be like—if several hundred thousand more Jews from the U.S. and other lands of the free West, were to come here, with all their political, cultural and economic baggage.
ADL appoints Foxman NEW YORK, N.Y.- Abraham H. Foxman has been appointed national director of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith to succeed Nathan Perlmutter, who died July 12. Mr. Foxman was associate national director. Mr. Foxman, an attorney, joined the agency in 1966 as assistant director of its Law Department. From 1968 to 1973, when he was appointed director of ADL's Leadership Division, he served as head of the Middle Eastern Affairs department. A graduate of the Yeshiva of Flatbush, Brooklyn, N.Y., Mr. Foxman earned a B.A. degree in political science from the City College of City University of New York, from which he graduated with honors in history and was awarded the University's history medal for this thesis, "Vilna— Story of a Ghetto,1941-45." He has done graduate work in advanced Judaic studies at the Jewish Theological Seminary and in international economics at The New School for Social Research. In addition to English, he speaks Hebrew, Yiddish, Polish and Russian.

HAIFA—A good friend in New York, for whom we have the highest respect, wrote us not long ago, expressing distress at many of the policies of the Israel government and some of the moods in the coimtry today. He grants that as a non-Israeli he has no right to have a voice in the determination of important questions which face Israel, but he is deeply unhappy because he has "a deep emotional investment in the country." Our reply ran to several pages, of which the following are the Mghlights. More and more these days Israelis are asking themselves; Is this the kind of Jewish state which we had in mind when we were idealistic Zionists and sought to establish a Jewish homeland? Almost no one would answer that question in the affirmative, and each would be able to adduce examples of the many flaws and faults, defects and drawbacks which are so obvious in an Israel which is still adolescent in terms of the histories of states. What was the U.S. like in a comparable period in its history, 35-40 years after independence? The history books tell us that "the War of 1812 was one of the most futile of conflicts," more war with Europe was expected, and "the former trust in pacific methods of preserving national rights was gone." The fiscal system following the war was in a state of "almost indescribable confusion." The judiciary was generally regarded as defective and politically controlled. Jefferson saw his concepts of democracy distorted by political polarization. To be stu-e, Americans now look back upon all this and more from a perspective of over 200 years, but it should perhaps serve to admonish them to display tolerance and even luderstanding when they voice criticism, even justified criticism, of a little state which is today at the same stage of development as the U.S. thein. Yet despite all our faults (and we within Israel are more aware of these than any outsider)—if the Zionists of the 1940's had been offered such a state as we have today, with all its blemishes, would they have rejected it out of hand? At a time when the human smoke was still casting a heavy pall over Auschwitz and Treblinka, when the great democracies of the world, including the U.S., refused to open their gates to the stateless refugees who sailed the

Braille transcribers needed By Bert Levis
Both the radio and television frequently plug up empty spaces with something called Public Service Aiinouncements. You've probably heard them; they caution teens about drinking or drugs, advise folks about higher education, that sort of thing. In fact, a PSA is always connected with a message of real importance. Ok, we don't have PSA's here in the paper, but I have a suggestion that might save a lot of us time and energy and maybe even excessive calories. Let me share an idea with you—I hasten to admit it's not an original idea. It was brought to me by a good friend. He states his case like this: the Jewish (and non-Jewish) organizations and clubs in the community are forever celebrating this tmniversary or that achievement with big dinner events. You know the kind I mean... you receive an invitation in the mail, asking you to attend a dinner in honor of the 50th anniversary of the Chinick Hockers Club, founded right here in River City. You are invited to bring your mate, choose fish or steak, make up a table of eight couples and remit with your check for x dollars. This will cover dinner and whatever. Now this sort of thing can happen a dozen times a year. Sometimes even more frequently, and much of the time the recipient feels an obligation to go. A fair number of times I'm sure there is a genuine pleasure in going, but let's be honest. Sometimes we go to those things because we feel we have to. Ok. Let me tell you my friend's suggestion. It goes like this: All the organizations should pool together and stage one gigantic DINNER. The various separate groups could be seated with their fellow members and still have the feeling of a private affair. Since so many people and dollars would be involved, the organizers could afford to bring in a really big name entertainer, which in turn would help promote interest in the entire event. As a matter of fact, I think the idea has merit. I believe it would free up a lot of evenings for other things and it would save tons of calories ... we all know how hard it is to be diciplined when at a big dinner. The tendency to say "alright, don't make a big deal out of it—eat it just this once" is very great. Well, that's my friend's idea. If there's any Interest in it, let me know. I'll put you in touch with him and you can work out arrangements for the first Annual Omaha Community Dinner Event. Maybe yoii can start a new trend. You could end up famous. After all, Sol Hurok probably started out promoting Bar Mitzvah dinners! <Q>lt

Paraahat Mattot-Mas'e The great hatred The Midrash offers us a cogent lesson through its comment on a subtle change of language in our Sidrah. Moaes is told to embark on a punitive expedition against the Midianites for the matter of the seduction to the worship of Baal Peor. It is spoken of as "the vengeance of the Israelite people." But Moses, conveying the Lord's message to the people, calls it "the vengeance of the Lord." The difference in phraseology focuses on the question. Who is harmed, who is offended by false worship? What differebce does it make, and to whom, if human beings indulge in giving up their values for false pleasures and for animal instincts? And the Midrash goes on to explain. In its explanation it anticipates by many centuries an important theory about anti-Semitism, espedally as it was offered by Maurice Samuel in his The Great Hatred. Samuel's thesis is that Nazi anti-Semitism was a veiled protest against Christianity. The sin of Jews, marking them all as deserving of the death penalty, was that they had foisted ' Christianity on the worldl The Nazis had reverted to the macho image of the Teutonic warrior, strong and ruthless, conquering the world and subjecting all to the virility and power of the

fist and the sword. Now here come the Jews, trying to restrain that power by the idea of compassion and love, through the values of Christianity! Samuel's thesis is welldocumented and thorouj^y analyzed. It bears reading a full generation after its publication. But the Midrash preceded' him. Moses is taken aback by the Lord's demand for the punishment of the Midianites. But he thinks it through. Why do they hate us? And he comes to the conclusion that if we were like them, if we worshiped the gods of fertility, if we bowed down to idols of stone, if we worshiped in licentious rites, if we saw religion only as the way to petition the gods (and to twist their arms I) to give us the things we want for our pleasure, then they wouldn't hate us and they wouldn't persecute us. The reason for their hatred is different. It is because we have a different set of values, values which You, Lord, have taught us. We cherish the Mitzvot. We accept it as the beat description of life that we love our fellowmen even as we love ourselves, that we take truth and compassion and helpfulness. and brotherhood as the criteria by which life should be lived. It is because of that, Lord, that it is not the vengeance of the Children of Israel. It is because of your values. Lord, and because of the way of life that You have taught us, that they hate us. It is Your vengeance, Lord, against the Midianites. For it is You whom they have attacked.

en's Champions chomp Monsky By Mike SUvennan Glen's Champions defeated Monsky Lodge Sunday in a slow-pitch softball game that had several home runs, a strong comeback and some fine fielding plays. The outcome was in doubt untQ the last two innings, in which Glen's Champions scored six unanswered runs. The final score was 24-14. Glen's Champions looked like the runaway winners when they took a 10-nothing lead in the top of the first. However, Monsky led by a Ron Giller two-run homer, clawed back within four, 139. Both teams came through with five-run fifth innings, but Monsky began to fall behind, giving up two* runs in the sixth, and then having one of their runners picked off base in the bottom of the inning. Al Bream pounded the final nail into Monsky's coffin with a booming two-run clout in the top of the seventh. Tom Molacky, the Monsky shortstop, saved some more runs by making a fine leaping grab of Tom Ried's bullet over short. After opening the bottom of the seventh with a base hit, Monsky went down
quietly with a fly ball, a force at second, and a towving fly to Al Bream to end the game. The Bream family provided most of the home runs, father Al slamming two, and Scott ripping another. There were several errors, most of them on dropped fly balls, though there were a couple of booted grounders and wild throws. Lack of communication between fielders allowed a couple of balls to drop in also. Along with the errors were several exceUent running catches and good stops by fielders on both teams. All in all this was an excellent game with plenty of action to suit any Softball fan. The winning pitcher was Lyle Ried and the losing pitcher was Howard Epstein. NEW YORK (JTA) United Israel Appeal honored former Rep. Michael Barnes of Maryland at its annual meeting. Barnes was feted for his leadership in Congress in helping to obtain nearly $82 million in refugee resettlement grants from the U.S. government in the past four years.

Hsio one crt^he Academy ever tells Rachel to leave thf computer alone Rachel went to Kindergarten at Friedel Jewish Academy. She had a great year learning about the intricacies of computers... about how microscopes work...about our remarkable library. There is nothing at Friedel Jewish Academy that Rachel has to wait for until she is older. Because, while our students learn in a classroom setting, they can set their own pace. Our classes are small. Our faculty is outstanding. Learning is individu9lized. A child who reads well but has trouble with math can progress in reading and gear down for extra help in math. Nothing is "off limits" to a child who is interested. Next year, if Rachel decides she likes a fourth grade reader better than her own, we'll let her try it. This is how it can be for your children too.
Learning excellence is our objective, but we offer other important benefits too. Woven into our curriculum are the fundamentals of our precious Jewish heritage. Our enrollment includes Jewish children, kindergarten through fifth grades, from all over the city. At Friedel Jewish Academy these youngsters are making associations they'll value for a lifetime. Come and see our school. We're not in class during the summer, but we have a lot to show you and tell you about. For an appointment call Jody Goldstein, 334-0517. This year, consider Friedel Jewish Academy for your children. It will be the most important investment you'll ever make. A few scholarships are still available. For more information call 334-0517.
