of Israel's 40th anniversary. Boat Ride will take place in the JCC pool and Dig will feature an exhibit on archaeology and the persona] thrill of finding ancient coins and pottery. Donna Olesh,. chairperson of the JCC Early Childhood Dept., explained that Hebrew in Pre-School was proposed so that children will be comfortable with the language at an early age. "They will be taught to use simple words and phrases in conversation and will have a more firm foundation for learning Hebrew at a higher level." Learnafun, presented by Shani Katzman of Chabad Lubavitch of Omaha, will offer a "truly educational celebration" of Jewish holidays. "It's like a party—music, games, entertainment and refreshments—all to reinforce the real reason for being there—to learn about being Jewish and to enjoy it." Fimds for the North American Maccabi Youth Games will give Omaha teenagers the opportunity to join 3,000 other athletes from international delegations in one of the largest Jewish youth sporting events in the world. Gary Bernstein, JCC assistant director, assured the committee that the Maccabi Games would be "an experience our young people would carry with them for a lifetime." "The Newman Committee has been extraOTdinarily generous to Omaha Teen Tour to Israel, said project coordinator Margo Riekes. "This is an Omaha-sponsored trip, staffed by Omaha Jewish professionals and designed specifically for Omaha Jewish teenagers. Its purpose is to enhance their Jewish identity and strengthen their commitment to the Omaha Jewish community. Experiences like this develop good leaders." The Committee will meet again in the Spring of 1988.

Shamir pleased with Shultz By David Landau
JERUSALEM (JTAI Premier Yitzhak Shamir told the Knesset Monday that he was very pleased with the visit of Secretary of State George Shultz because it demonstrated anew that the United SUtes will never apply pressure on Israel and "our thoughts and idpas flow through the same channel." , Shamir addressed the opening of the winter session of Parliament hours after Shultz departed from Cairo after three days of talks here with the Premier and Foreign Minister Shimon Peres. In a clear reference to the proposed international conference for Middle East
peace, which he adamantly opposes, Shamir praised the United States "refusal to listen to the advice of certain states and other parties to abandon this path of direct negotiations and to apply pressure on us to agree to ideas whose real purpose is to impose solutions upon us that contradict our basic interests." But circles close to Peres, the government's most vocal advocate of an international conference, said that Shultz had in fact sought to persuade Shamir to agree to some kind of international forum as a launching pad for Middle East peace talks. They said he and Shamir parted at odds over the issue.

Some harm for Jewish agencies foreseen due to stocic deciine
On helping Nebraskans The Nebraska State Bar Association has provided this column with with an interesting story: It seems that Joe Mintum wanted to see his four-yearold son, Joshua, for Christmas. Joshua's mother had agreed to a visitation arrangement that allowed Joe to have Josh every Christmas Eve from noon until 11 p.m.—then she remarried and moved to California without telling Joe. Joe couldn't afford to hire a lawyer to enforce his visitation rights with his son so he called Legal Aid in Omaha and was referred to the Nebraska State Bar Association's Legal Services/Lawyer Referral Program. The program staff contacted Omaha lawyer Kenneth P. Weiner, a program volunteer, and he agreed to try to help Joe on a pro bono (no fee) basis. In just a few weeks, Mr. Weiner had arranged for Joe to have a week-long visit with Josh at Christmas. In addition, he cleared up an unfinished detail in the case—getting a visitation order formally approved by the Omaha District Court—that improved Joe's legal standing in case of future visitation problems. When the case was completed, Joe wrote to the director of the Bar's LS/LR program: "Mr. Weiner was terrific throughout the whole ordeal and I owe him a great deal. He deserves much thanks not only from me, but my entire family as well. We all love and miss my son Joshua, and Kenneth P. Weiner made it possible for the entire family of at least 50 people to see Josh for substantial periods of time." And Ken Weiner is only one of more than 1,000 Nebraska lawyers who make the program work.
More on lawyers While we're on the subject of lawyers, let me briefly comment on a letter delivered to me by Shirley Goldstein in behalf of the Independent Task Force on ABA-Soviet Relations, Inc. The letter, from William J. Wolf, expresses concern over the continuing dialogue between the American Bar Association and the Association of Soviet Lawyers. Mr. Wolf contends that some Jewish organizations contributed to a "tragic mistake" by supporting the continuation of ABA-Soviet formal ties. Most disturbing, he said, was the position of the AntiDefamation League of B'nai B'rith, which last year had condemned the tites and then reversed its position. Mr. Wolf contends that the internal ADL debate on the issue refused to allow input regarding the "ASL's antiSemitic, anti-Zionist activities perpetrated since the signing of the Declaration of Cooperation." Whether Mr. Wolf's allegations are substantive, remains to be seen. A query from this column will be directed to the national office of ADL for comment.

By Andrew Muchin NEW YORK (JTA) - Jewish agency professionals genej^ ally were of two bents Tuesday when asked to evaluate the effect of the rapid decline of the stock market this week on their agencies, which depend on financial gifts. Most told the JTA that fund-raising would likely be impaired, but they noted that the suddenness of the drop in stock prices and the market's subsequent volatility made accurate predictions impossible. But one pointed specifically to likely short-term cash-flow. problems. They all hastened to add that operations would not be diminished and that there was no panic among their major givers. At issue were two major considerations: gifts by individuals, and philanthropic and endowment funds that have been invested in stocks. "The collapse of the stock market is a matter of concern, but it is too early to make any prediction,'' said Dr. Steven Nasatik, executive vice president of the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Chicago. He acknowledged that the federation's stock investments probably lost value, "but I cannot tell you to what extent. We will know better in a few days." A New York stockbroker and Jewish lay leader who asked to remain anonymous, noted that the stock fluctuations would have "significant implications on giving. There were people wiped out. I met people who lost a third of their life's savings." He added that, "If people lose money, they
Selling spree shakes Tel Aviv Stock Market By Hugh Orgel TEL AVIV (JTA) — A frantic selling spree and a bomb scare shook the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange Tuesday as fearful investors reacted to Monday's crash of the New York stock market. It was probably the most tumultuous day in the history of the Tel Aviv market and could not have come at a worse time for the country's financial markets and the economy as a whole. Tuesday was the last day that holders of governmentbacked Israel bank shares had to decide whether to redeem them or hold out for a higher return payable in 1989. Treasury officials had estimated Monday that about $700 million worth of bank shares would be cashed by the public and, hopeA4ly. re-invested in other shares or in saving plans. But the news from Wall Street and its reverberations in financial markets around'the world apparently triggered a mass dumping of all securities, an event the Finance Ministry and the Bank of Israel had hoped to avoid. Many bank-share holders, who had indicated only a,day ago that they woiild hold on, decided Tuesday to sell out and buy durable or consvuner goods. This, economists fear, will set off a new roimd of runaway inflation, with devastating effects on the government's long and generally successful efforts to hold the line against inflationary trends. An estimated $1.2 billion worth of bank shares cotild be cashed in by the end of the month. By noon Tuesday, the banks reported that 50 percent of their shareholders had opted to sell out for cash. The present situation stems from the wave of panic selling in October 1983, when holders of bank shares—a major form of savings in Israel—converted to cash following reports that the coimtry's largest banks had been systematically inflating the value of their shares to keep prices up. The Treasury intervened to bail out the banks—most of whose directors were forced to resign—and offered shareholders incentives not to sell. The Finance Ministry promised that every $100 worth of shares they held in 1983 would be redeemed at the shekel equivalent of $112, payable Oct. 28., 1987. Oct. 20 was the deadline to decide. Investors who agreed to hold their shares for another two years would receive the shekel equivalent of $134 per $100, payable in 1989. The shares however would be negotiable at ciurent prices, starting Nov. 1, 1987. Yossi Nitzani, director of the Tel Aviv exchange, told reporters later than there was no logical connection between the rush to sell in Israel and the precipitous drop on Wall Street because the Israeli economy is in good condition.

givelaM." Ernest Michel, executive vice president of the UJAFederation of New York, seemed to be less alarmed. He said he anticipated that many major givers would be temporarily forced to pay their contributions late, but he didn't observe panic. "I foresee over the next several weeks a cashflow problem that will affect our agencies," he said. That means the beneficiary agencies domestically and abroad of the agency's $150 million allocations budget all may receive less fimding than expected in the short term, he explained. But, he added, "I'm sure we're not alone in that, and I'm sure not only Jewish philanthropy, but philanthropy in general—hospitals, museums, everybody—will be affected by it." Michel is more concerned about philanthropic funds. He declined to describe the size of thoee of the UJA-Federation, but conceded that a portion of its funds, which provide "a large amount of income to the organization,'' were invested in stocks. "Those portfolios have been reduced on paper," he said. "It is worth much less than it was last week.'.' However, because some of the income derives from dividends per share of stock, Michel seemed certain that, "The income will continue ... Hc^fully companies will miiint.iiin their dividends." He said that the lay leaders who invest these funds "eventually will deal" with the stock ramifications. W-

My boyfriend and I went to a lovely affair not long ago. Chances are good you've already heard aboutit, but it was such a joyful occasion I 'd like to talk a little about it anyway. I'm referring to the octogenarian celebration held by the Nebraska Jewish Historical Society, and I siu-e hope you were there too. If you weren't, it was truly YOUR loss. If you were fortimate enough to be there with your very own honorees you were twice blessed. Twice because just to listen and be reminded of all the accomplishments of these good people would have been dayenu. But if you had your dear ones next to you and could observe the obvious pleasure THEY felt, then truly you were twice blessed. And if you sat quietly and listened to the interesting young woman who spoke on Jewish geneology and heard her mention a shtetl called Sudilkev and watched your own dear father snap to attention and ask "Did she say Sudilkev?," well, that would have been a kick. That's what happened to me. That's where my paternal Bobie's family came from, where my dad's earliest memories were born. It was perfectly clear he was paying close attention to every word because he couldn't wait until an opportune moment to go up and speak to the woman. Of equal pleasure was milling aroimd the crowd and hearing, over and over, an exchange which went something like this: "How ARE you? My God, I haven't seen you in 100 yearsi What's going on? How's everybody? Where's your son? Your brot^jer-in-law still doing thousandsuch?" Or the other half of that type of conversation, which sounded a little like; "Look... there's whats-his-name. I'll betcha I haven't seen him since he retired from business. I've got to get over there and say hello. Kinehorah, he looks good!" And selfishly, I was able to klibe naches from this: "Your mother looks beautiful, as always!" And other lines such as "I just talked to your dad... he's such a doll and still has that great sense of humor. And yotir mom—wow!" It was a delicious evoiing, from start to finish. The reception following gave everyone an ample opportunity to mingle and catch up with Leah or Esther or Chanah of Moishe or whoever. A little coffee, a little cookie and a lot of love and friendship and enough warmth to make the whole building cozy. It was beautiful. In the car on the way home,,there was more, "I saw a woman I haven't seen since I don't remember when!" We rehashed the entire event and the final words with our good nights were something like, "I can't imagine anything I could have done which could have given me more pleasure." I think that says it all. I could only add one thing. Thank you to ell who were involved. What a gift you presented to a lot of people who richly deserved it.

'Month of Sundays' Human rights conference will focus on prejudii^^ Temple Israel Sisterhood has announced a aeries of programs designed toTnform andl educate thel Omaha Jewish community. Meyers The sessions will start Nov. 1 at 10 a.m. and run until noon, according to Marilyn Wauren, publicity chairman. She said the seasions were scheduled for Sundays to give all segments of the community an opportunity to attend. On Nov. 1, Rabbi Allan Gonsher will speak on Parents and Kids. Sister Marie Micheletto will speak on Stress during the Nov. 8 session. Dr. Michelle Knolls will ^speak on PMS during the ^ov. 15 program. On Nov.

Terror cell By Gil Sedan JERUSALEM (JTA) The security forces have uncovered a large Islamic Jihad terror cell, arresting at least 50 suspects and seizing a large underground arms cache, security sources said. The arsenal was found in the Shajaiya neighborhood in Gaza—site of a recent shootout between a group of terrorists and the security forces.
assembled by the Northwest Coalition Against Malicious Harassment, which was formalized in April in response to the bombings. This small tourint town in the heart of the Coeur d'Alene Mountains was the focus of the Aryan NationsChurch of Jesus ChristChristian, a violently racist, anti-Semitic group that adheres to the tenets of the Christian Identity movement, claiming that the Jews are the children of Satan. The group is equally hateful of Blacks, Orientals, American Indians and Roman Catholics. Two members of the group, David Dorr and Edward Hawley, are currently fadng pharges for th^ir part in the Coeur d'Alene bombings, and have already been convicted of counterfeiting. Other members of this and related hate groups have this year been convicted of crimes ranging from coun-
terfeiting to murder. The goals of the hate-filled Aryan Nations, however, appear to have turned upon themselves. Coeur d'Alene has instead become known for its involvement in the cause of human rights, manifested through the Kootenai County Task Force on Human Relations, and its outgrowth, the Northwest Coalition Against Malicious Harassment. The Coalition pushed for, and won, the most powerful
anti-terrorist legislation in the United States, as well as additional pieces of legislation: on anti-domestic terrorism, observance of Martin Luther King Day in Idaho and an amendment to previously enacted malicious harassment legislation that enables dvil lawsuits to be filed by victims of racist or terrorist attacks. Father Bill Wassmuth, whose rectory was firebombed by members of the Aryan Nations, chairs the Task Force.

By Susan Bimbaum NEW YORK (JTA)-Attempts by rightwing racist vigilantes within the past several years, to make the Pacific Northwest an allwhite bastion through violence and the proliferation of racial hatred, appear to have boomeranged. Today, hundreds of representatives of religious and racial civil rights organizations, including the American Jewish Committee and the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, will convene for a three-day convention on human rights in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, site last year of several bombings of federal buildings and the home of a Roman Catholic priest. The overall theme of the conference will be prejudice in America today, and its impact on the Northwest. It is no accident that Coeur d'Alene was chosen for the conference, the first

JERUSALEM (JTA) Agricultural exports from the West Bank and Gaza Strip, going to European markets, will be labeled henceforth as originating in individual cities such as Hebron. Nablus or Gaza, under a compromise agreement reached here in talks between Foreign Minister Shimon Peres and Claude Chaysson, Trade Commissioner of the European Economic Community (EEC).
By Hugh Orgel TEL AVIV (JTA) - The Jerusalem rabbinical court backed away from its halachic ruling that the extradition of William Nakash be delayed for six months or longer out of consideration for his wife. After a lengthy session, the court announced its ban would end on Dec. 1. The Supreme Court has already ordered Nakash's extradition to France, where he was convicted in absentia for murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. The French authorities, however, have agreed to a second trial. The rabbinical court intervened to protect Nakash's pregnant wife from the status of agunah—ai) abandoned woman—should her husband have to serve a lengthy sentence abroad. Religious law prohibits an agunah from remarrying.

ecutive said in a letter to Abrahapi H. Foxman, National Director of ADL. William M. Shaffer, the Minneapolis-based company's public relations manager, explained to Foxman that a new electronic processing technique bad been used to lift the likeness of Bela Lugosi from the 1930 film "Dracula" and place it on the cereal package. Lugosi's costume in the film included a six-pointed medallion with a large stone center used to hypnotize people, but the processing . technique flattened out the stone, thereby turning the medallion into a Star of David. Shaffer told ADL, which had received complaints, that four million packages of Count Chocula cereal had already been distributed when the situation was brought to the company's attention.
