Our Jewish tradition provides us with a love and respect for booics. This tradition probably started with the Book of the Law (Sepher Torah) and gathered momentum with post biblical books which helped guide men on the right path of life. We are reminded of our great Jewish heritage by the dedication this week of the Milton R. Abrahams branch of the Omaha Public Library at 6111 North 90th Street. Several hundred adults and children were on hand Sunday afternoon for the dedication program to officially open the library and pay honor to Mr. Abrahams. Those attending included city leaders, family members, many who are involved in the Jewish community, and scores of children. Mr. Abrahams, who over the years has distinguished himself in extraordinary fashion as a citizen of many concerns both within'-the Jewish community and the wider Omaha community, provided some insight as to his love of books and libraries. He did so by sharing some of his thoughts on why he considered his volunteer work with the public library system so very important in his own agenda of life's opportunities. He said the library first became a vital part of his life upon graduating from Central High School. He nneded money to enter college and he was fortunate to obtain a job with the Union Pacific Railroad. His job was in the accounting department, but, alas, he knew from nothing about ejficounting and he feared that to start the job and demonstrate his ignorance would be foolish. So, off to the downtown public library he went... and with the help of a patient librarian, he reviewed the many books on accounting and walked away with at least enough knowledge to hold on to his job. Mr. Abrahams told the group of well-wishers that this experience exemplifies the opportunity that is available to all through the resources in the public library. "Here, there is great potential for self education and self development—with the great thoughts of the past and the newest advances of the present within reach of everyone of us.'' , • . V * He said,"You are never alone^in a library ... you are in the midst of men and women whose work bos been carefully gathered for your education and entertainment... all you have to do is read." Mr. Abrahams said that libraries have been a part o4his ^e since that early high school experience and that he is deed grateful to have the Milton R. Abrahams branch homed after him. Isn't it appropriate for us to say that the People of the Book are enriched by Milton R. Abrahams—a Man of the Book.

"Both Gore and Dukakis will be warmly
received, as long as it's not Jackson," said Rabbi Bernard Freilich, administrator of the local Council of Jewish Organizations. "Still, we have a split. The Jews have to decide on one candidate." Freilich's comments came the day before Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis was scheduled to visit Borough Park and the day aftoSen. Albert Gore Jr. of Ten!^ I' Mote-'Copmra I nessee made a neighborhood campaign stop.

Dutch premier plans visit to israei By Henrietta Boas AMSTERDAM (JTA) Premier Rudolf Lubbers of the Netherlands has decided to make his long-scheduled visit to Israel next month, on the occasion of its 40th anniversary. Lubbers announced at his weekly news conference, however, that the trip would ha^e a more "political" character than originally intended, and for that reason he will be accompanied by Foreign Minister Hans van den Broek. Lubbers' visit to Israel had been uncertain since
Palestinian unrest began in the West Bank and Gaza Strip four months ago, because of severe criticism of Israel's handling of the situation from government officials and Dutch public opinion.
By Yitshak RaU NEW YORK (JTA) The Amwican Jewish Congress Welcomed j the candidacy of Jesse Jackson for the presidency, claiming it "marks the coming of age of American democracy." But the Congress said that the fact that Jackson is black "does not and should not immunize" him from being searched and examined' on his views, as was the case with other candidates from groups never previously represented in the White House, namely John Kennedy, the first Catholic president, and Geraldine Ferraro, the first wonum to receive a vice presidential nomination. Jackson is one of the major contenders for the Democratic presidential nomination. Many in the American Jewish community oppose Jackson, because of his support for the Palestine Liberation Organization and remarks he has made that have been construed as anti-Semitic. New York Mayor Edward Koch recently went as far as to say that Jews would be
"cracy" to vote for Jackson. Robert Lofton, AJCongress national president, said in a statement, issued here that the danger "of racial polarization as a result of Jesse Jackson's candidacy and the reaction to the candidacy is real and. disturbing." Lifton said that in order to avoid potential racial or religious conflict, "we call upon all Americans, first, to repudiate, sharply and unambiguously, anything that dther directly or by implication disparages radaL religious or ethnk affiliation, or otherwise reflects a prejudiced attitude toward any racial, religious and ethnic group. "And, second, to acknowledge publicly that differences of opinion, however acute or heated, are legitimate and apfiropriate in a democratic society."
