Colorado College; Richard Rosenblatt, University of Indiana; and Wendi Rosenblatt, University of Arkansas. The goal of the scholarships is to ensure that students do not miss out on an educaticHial opportimity because of financial need, the trustees said. Bruce, son of Tom and Darlynn FeUman, was a 1982 Westside High School graduate. He was active in BBYO and served as president, vice president, secretary and treasurer of Chaim Weizmann AZA...He attended George Washington University of Washington, D.C., and was participating in the University of Pittsburg's Semester at Sea at the time of his death. "The annual awarding of these scholar-, ships is a most appropriate way of honoring Bruce's memory," Mr. Kooper noted.

in the legal definition of "Who is a Jew?" The ultra-Orthodox would like to push legislation through the Knesset which would invalidate the conversions performed by Conservative and Reform rabbis abroad. The Knesset will adjourn for summer vacation next Wednesday and the Shas legislation cannot be acted upon until the House reconvenes in October. But although Shas has lost this battle, it has not given up the fight. Shas spokesmen said Wednesday they would now press for introduction of legislation making it mandatory for converts to Judaism to present a document to the Interior Ministry's Population Registry which would provide full details of how and by whom they had been converted abroad. The document would indicate whether an Orthodox rabbi performed the conversion. People who had undergone Orthodox conversions would then be recognized by the religious establishment as acceptable for a Jewish marriage. Reform and Conservative converts would not be recognized as vaUd Jews for marriage.
greslows will head Lincoln dinner
••i^BH ^H^^^^H IPQVW^
By Hugh Orgel TEL AVIV, July 29 (JTA) - Anticipating defeat, the ultra- Orthodox Shas party decided Wednesday not to introduce a proposed amendment to the Rabbinical Courts Adjudication Law which would give the rabbinical courts the sole authority to validate conversions, marriages and divorces performed abroad. Earlier this week, Shas indicated that it would not introduce the proposal if its poUtical allies in Knesset, including Likud, could not guarantee sufficient votes to pass the measure. A Shas spokesman blamed the National ReUgious Party for not supporting the bill. "It was the National Religious Party which let us down," the spokesman told reporters. "Without the National Religious Party we could never have gotten a majority." MK Avner Sciaki of the NRP warned Shas Tuesday that he would not vote for the bill because under Jewish law it is forbidden to remind a convert of his/her conversion. The bill was seen as an attempt by Shas to introduce through a back door changes

Italians saved Jews in France
Electronic history This is a historic moment for the Omaha Jewish Press. Look at the story to the right of this editorial. The story carries a July 27 date, and it was received in the Jewish Press office on July 28. This is the first Jewish Telegraphic Agency story that has come into our office by electronic mail. We received the story by having our computer call New York on the telephone and then receive the material from the computer in New York. We are doing this on a trial basis. For three months, we will experiment and evaluate, and after that trial period, electronic mail may become a normal operating procedure for the Omaha Jewish Press. We are doing this with a rented computer, a modem on loan from Sigma Software Ltd., and the help of Mike McAllister of the Plaindealer Printing Company in Tekamah. The Plaindealer prints our paper, and Mike is the resident computer expert who not only knows the technical stuff, but has the composure and ability to convey the information to novices. In my opinion, the use of electronic mail will to a large extent transform the Jewish Press into a more timely newspaper for regional, national, and international news. This ability to publish with the help of electronic mail could be the most significant development in the almost 70 years that the Jewish Press has been operational in Omaha. Although we have investigated the possibility of using computers for more than a year, the cost of computerizing the Jewish Press office has been a substantial consideration. 1 would like to thank Al Zink and Terry Beaver, the owners of the Plaindealer, for making the computer available to us, and the Board of Directors of the Jewish Press for approving the trial run. In the weeks to come, we expect to bt able to improve the timeliness of the news to a great degree, and we hope that you, the reader, will be as excited about the prospect, as we, the writers. So as we say in the electronic mailroom ... Off. Off at 10:45 07/28/87 EDT

rest of us. It existed in their own self-recognition. The Italian Jews were of course part of the same gruesome plan as the rest. Luzzatto's great uncle, Cesare Luzzatto, died in the Holocaust deayite his assumption "that his rank as a retired general in the Italian army would somehow protect him," Already in his 708, Uncle Cesare was taken by the SS from a clinic where he was recuperating from a long illness, along with his wife, to the place called Dachau. The author's family left in 1939, his father to Normandy to work in an aluminum factory, he, his sister and mother to join him by way of Switzerland. Having to go south for their own protection, they found themselves in the Pyrenees, where his father was still fortiuate enough to find work in another aluminum factory in a small village near the Spanish border. Their house became a way station for emigrating Itahan Jews en route to Spain or North Africa. With the capitulation of France to the Nazis, "the France that my parents had so admired disintegrated within a few weeks." Germans arrived to manage the aluminum factory, sending the product to Germany for the war effort. The Luzzattos fleid to Marseille, where Luzzatto "saw my first German officer... in his finest grey uniform ... He had just taken an apple from a fruit stand when the vendor asked to be paid. The officer struck the vendor across the face and strode away."

WASHINGTON, July 27 (JTA) - A former executive of the Peace Corps remembers how the Italians saved his refugee Italian Jewish family in the South of France during the summer of 1940 in a piece for the Outlook opinion section of the Sunday Washington Post. Frank Luzzatto, who is now a partner in a Washington-based international consulting firm, reminisced about leaving Italy, that time in Marseille, and the goodness of the Italians, in "Escape From the Nazis." Mussolini's anti-Semitic laws, he writes, "were a blatant violation of Italy's long-standing tradition of religious tolerance," particularly in Ught of Italy's self-restraint in the anti-Semitism always rampant through almost all of Europe. Even the Inquisition, says Luzzatto, found little acceptance in the independent Italian states north of Naples. Luzzatto's family in Venice had found it particularly difficult to leave their beloved Italy, as his mother in 1938 was pregnant with a third child and had to terminate the pregnancy for safety's sake. StiU he recalls the Vefletian Jews, as so many Jews have done elsewhere, to this day, could not accept the reaUty of what was happening to them. Nothing "of any real consequence would happen." Mussolini, "it was well known ... had a Jewish mistress for many years. He would protect them." After all, "They were Italians living in Italy, not German Jews, or even Eastern European Jews." Apparently, it is not only to non-Italian Jews that these ancient Sephardic cousins seemed to be somehow different than the

When it isn't, it's unusual, and when you're a native, you know what to expect. Of course I know what to expect... wasn't I bom and raised here? Don't I remember what it was like before air conditioning? Wasn't growing up in a two story house an adventure in guessing how hot it was up in the bedrooms? And begging to be allowed to sleep "downstairs" where it was cooler was a nightly song we sang. Those hot bedrooms did stir the imagination, however. Why else would anybody keep pajamas in the fridge for hours before bedtime? Or rig up electric fans in every conceivable airway to provide what was laughingly called "crossventilation." That was actually another means of moving very hot air from one place to the other: But what did we know. A fan was a fan and if your family owned more than one, you were envied. We've often talked, in this space, about the car ride to Elmwood Park for the cool spring water, the tall ice cream cones, the frothy root beer and the excitement of going "to a show where there's air-conditioning." Remember? Those were an example of some of the so-called good old days that weren't always good, but as I sit in my controlled temperature in complete comfort, I can afford to reminisce! Sometimes, when I'm in the car (with cool air blowing on me), I note the time and temperature signs placed along ray route. Invariably, they disagree with each other as to how hot it really is. I once noted that as I drove west it got hotter and hotter, and I mean only from downtown to 93rd street! The sign farthest east said it was 86 degrees. The next one proclaimed 92 and the next said 98. There was only one more before I turned off, and I couldn't wait to see it. Sure enough, it had blown its cork and registered over 100. So much for the electronic wonders of the world. We didn't have those temperature signs back when you cooled off in the car by opening the windows. We knew how hot it was by listening to the radio or watching for the picture in the paper of the reporter trying to fiy an egg on the sidewalk. As near as I can remember, even though it was unbearably hot, they never could get the egg fried. But one thing you can be sure of... somebody tried it every summer!

Art quoted from the HERALD, on the Boland amendment re arms to the Contras, aid to Nicaragua by the Soviets, Cuba's involvement worldwide to assist the Soviets, and from the JOURNAL, increasing need for assistance for the Contras. An aside—the Soviets are entrenched in Central America. Today, our navy is

July 12 was the day 29 seniors boarded a 727 plane for Minneapolis and then a 747 to Seattle, where we stayed at the Westin Hotel. We boarded a monorail to see the Space Needle and then had a salmon dinner. Monday, we left Seattle and took a ferry across Puget Sound. It was a thrill to be on a bus and be on the water. The Empress Hotel ip Victoria was our home for two days. This city really gave us a taste of a British city. The famous Butchart Gardens was on the agenda. We had many with us Who knew so many of the flowers. They are Beverly Gilinsky, Doris Kwiatek, Pauline Seiner and Doris Shukert. We boarded the Queen of Saanich which took us to Vancouver and were driven to Gas Town where we had lunch and then off to Stanley Park. We then had a tour of the city. Hotel Meriden was our home in Vancouver for two days. Dinner was served in the luxurious Gerrard Room. We boarded a Royal Hudson train which took us along the shores of Howe Sound in North Vancouver. After arriving in Squamish, we boarded a sight-seeing vessel for three hours. This trip was equivEdent to a trip to Alaska. In the evening we attended a dinner show and saw "Greater Tuna." We left the city and stopped at the border where our group took advantage of a duty free store. We arrived at Resort Semiahmoo and took a Thel

At the Academy, Evan learned ttiere is more to hiis world than meets the eye Evan's world is full of wonder. And every day at the Friedel Jewish Academy, Evan discovers something new. Last year, through the probing power of our big new microscope, he learned that his own body is constructed of tiny building blocks called cells. Sure. Children at other schools learn about cells, too But classes are small at the Academy and learning is individualized. Here the whole class doesn't need to hustle along on the same schedule. When Evan wants to spend more time looking at tissue slides, he can. When he asks questions, we have the time for answers. Learning is never put on hold. Your young children can experience this personalized education too. Because, at Friedel Jewish Academy, learning excellence is our first
objective. Our teachers are talented and experienced. They know how to challenge a child. How to build self esteem. How to trigger curiosity. How to give extra help. And there's nnore. At the Academy these kindergarten through fifth grade children are networking with other Jewish children from all over the city. They are learning the language, the history, and the principles of their Jewish heritage. Our children are learning to be proud, productive Americans, and citizens of the world as well. Choose Friedel'Jewish Academy for your children. We'd like to show you our school and tell you more. For an appointment, call Jody Goldstein, 334-0517. A few scholarships are still available. For more information call 334-0517,
