Olimpses into the personality of Israel Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir appear in the May issue of life magazine. At 72, he has not taken a vacation in 40 years, keeps his own counsel and. Life says, does not "countenance tinkering with his image: dull—and scrupulously unpretentious." His chief administrator reports that Shamir has no capadty for small talk ... H^ also has no sense of humor, though he may pull a pun or two. When he was being made up for an interview on "Face the Nation," host Lesley Stahl, noticing his distress, commented,"That's show biz for you." Shamir leaned forward and said, "And a good Shabbos to you too."

Yom HaShoah This year's Yom HaShoah observances again took the form of a program in the State Capitol and a program at Beth El Synagogue. An estimated 100 attended the Lincoln function and more than double that'number attended the observance in the synagogue. This year, there was an added dimension to both cofiimemoration observances. Children. For many years, those attending the annual Holocaust Conunemoration programs have been asking a necessary question. Who will remember the Six Million after we are gone? The question was appropriate because it was rare for a child to attend these memorial services. And as the years pass, the number of survivors dwindles in this community as the numbers lessen throughout the world. So the question persisted this year. Only this year, something incredibly good happened. Children participated. In Lincoln, Jim Fried, son of Sam and the'late Magda Fried, figuratively picked up the torch of remembrance from his parents and stirred the attendees with his very own personal description of how it feels to be the child of ^Ufvivors. He left no doubt that he would remember, and he left no doubt that his passion of remembrance would be passed on to his children. In Omaha, the students of United Talmud Torah and Temple Israel religious school led most of the Yom HaShoah service and assisted survivors in lighting the candles for the Six MiUion. Their demeanor and sensitivity were beyond reproach, thereby eliminating the fears of some survivors and other community members as well. There was some apprehension regarding how the youngsters would approach their responsibilities. Not to worry ... they did just fine. Their intensity of participation really should not have sui^ prised anyone. They have studied the Holocaust not only with books and films, but also have had the opportunity to speak directly with survivors gaining first-hand accounts. At the end of the Beth El service, Sam Pried turned to me and said,"! finally felt that it was all right for me to blow out the candle—knowing that from this point our children will carry on." The annual question of where are the children has been answered. They are standing right here—next to the survivors.

American Jews urged to celebrate Israel a "clear signal" to the American public to halt neo-Nazi activitiea, praising Mayor Raymond Stone of Cordolene, Idaho, for his earning the Eisenhower award from the Holocaust Mamcritl Committee by standing against the Aryan Nations organiutioo in his community.

Kitty Dukakis promises a White House seder By Andrew Silow Carroll NEW YORK (JTAI With the Jewish vote emerging as vital in the upcoming New York Democratic primary, it can't hurt Oov. Michael Dukakis of Maasachusetta that his wile is Jewish. And lest anyone forget, Kitty Dukakis flew into New York to be with the presidential candidate when he spoke before the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations. Still, as Kitty Dukakis explained to a reporter as a limousine sped her from that meeting to New York's La Guardia Airport, "1 would never be so presumptuous as to want people to vote for my husband on the basis of my background." , If Dukaids is able to say 'that and mean it, it's because her dedicaticm to Jewish caosea, eqwdaUy Soviet Jewry and the work of the United States Holocaust Memorial Council, seems genuine to observers. That is why Gov. Dukakis can remind Jewish leaders of the time Kitty was called to the Torah at the Bar Mitsvah of former refusenik. Mishka Fuchs-Rdbinovich, and have no one accuse him of pandering. The candidate can also

joke about the p^rila of intermanlage, and get laughs from an audience for whom the subject is seMom funny. Aaked if the subject of her marriage to a Greek American, or of his to a Jew, has ever raised political problems, Kitty Dukalds puffed her cigarette and shook her head. "There may be some more conso-vative rabbis who object. But for me, I feel stronger as a result" of marrying somebody outside of the religion. The Dukakis childrenJohn, 30, Andre, 23, and Kara, 20—have been raised with both traditions, she said. (John is Kitty's son frcm a previous marriage, to a Jewish man.) In the last few weeks the family has celebrated Greek Easter and attended a Passover seder with Rep. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.). Eager to share her Jewish background, Dukakis explained that her paternal grandparents lived in a shtetl near Kiev. Her parents, violinist Harry EUis Dickson and the late Jane Goldberg Dickson, met as students in Berlin and were married in New Yorkby the great Reform leader Rabbi Steven Wise. And Dukakis serves on Uie executive committee of Anti-Defamation

League of B'nai B'rith- in New England. She and the governor turn to ADL't regional director Leonard Zakim for advice on Jewish issues. They also consult Steve Grossman, a fundraiser active in the Combined Jewish Philanthropies of Greater Boston. Dukakis said she expects to continue her Jewish organizational activities if she becomes first lady. Asked about her "project," the initiative expected from every first lady since Jacqueline Kennedy rest(N«d the White House, Dukakis lists three. "First of all, I'll continue my work on the Holocaust CoundL Next, I plan to continue working with refugees, especially from southeast Asia, as I've done in Massachusetts. "Yes," said Dukakis. "There will be a seder in the White House."

Parashat Tazria-Metzora Prophecy at mid-point Our two Sidrot concern themselves with what we might call medical problems; and if we are reading for the first time, we are surprised to find that the medical officers were priests. There is not much attention paid to the problems of prevention of disease, or even treatment. What the priest does is observe the progress of the disease, and on the basis of his observations he dedares the person ritually "clean" or "undean." MtKh of the attention in these Sidrot is given to what is caUed "leprosy," even in the new J.P.S. trtmslation. And this gives opportunity for the Haftarah for each of these parashiyot to turn to the cyde of tales about the prophet Elisha, in the ninth century BCE, during'the reign of Joram, Knig of Israd. It was a time of continuing, but intermittent, warfare between Israel and Syria, which shared a flexible border between them (yes, just as in 19881). Each of the Haftarot is chosen because of the occurrence of an event regarding a leper or lepers ... In the Haftarah we read today, the second in this double Sidrah, Elisha is presented as a foreseer of the future and a seer who has dairvoyant abilities. The King of Syria is told that nothing he whispers in his council chambers, or for that matto* in his bedroom, is concealed from the ear of Elisha, so that Elisha can be the "chief intelligence officer" of Israd ... Nonetbdess, our Haftarah tells us of an occasion when the Syrian siege of Samaria, Israd's c^tital. is so successful that the people are in great straits fw food. Here Elisha announces that in no time at all food

will be widdy available and everything can be bought at rock-bottom prices. The Syrian siege is mysterioudy lifted (the Syrians thought that they were surrotmded by outside forces hired by Israd and they fled). It is the lepers who have made their way into the Syrian camp and found it deserted and who brought the news to the defenders in Samaria... And Elisha's word had come true. The importance of all of this is to see the place of tales of this kind in the devdopment of pn^hecy in Israd. Elisha ia not the fear less and brilliant moralist that his great mentw Elijah was. Nor was dther the great visionary and trumpeter of truth and righteousness that we find in the eighth century prophets and later. In Elisha's time, and to some extent in Elijah's, the prophet is still a mirade worker and a dturvoyant. He is not yet the Lord's spokesman, the defender of righteousness, the moralist without compromise, the interpreter of history and politics, the critic of the establishment in both government and religion—in short the true pr(q)het. The true prophet was to come with Amos and Hosea and Isaiah and Micah in the eighth century and other great voices in the centuries that followed. With Elisha, we are in an intermediate stage; and the promise of greatness is reserved for the future. sin SPEEOV PMNTINfl CENTER * W« nulo You H,. Sir Look Good* Sf»m9€iy' Fast, UM Colt.

"It is the purpose of the Institute to offer the Christian clergy background information on Judaism—both in terms of understanding their Jewish neighbors and their own Christian origins." The Institute also features a large display of books and periodicals of Jewish content that the clergy may find useful in their own studies and their ministries. This institute is a joint project of the congregation of Temple Israel and the Charles Rosenstock Fund. During Shabbat evening services at 8:15 p.m.. Dr. Millen will occupy the pulpit at Temple Isroel and bring a Shabbat message to the congregation. The service is open to the community. A special Oneg Shabbat will be held following services.

By Art Grossman With wind-swept drifts now only a memory, a number of our snowbirds, who head for warmer climes dicing winter months, drifted back to the Old Timers meeting on April 12, thereby bolstering our attendance. Because of Passover, which necessitated the postponement of the last scheduled meeting, the Early Bird discussion group was primed for some vigorous debate, particularly regarding the political arena, what with the primary election on the horizon. First, however, Vice President Harry Shulman discussed the miracle of satellites—how they perform an abundance of electronic duties—thereby making Ufe more comfortable for mankind. This reporter took over as moderator laimcbing into "Who is this phenomenon of politics—Jesse Jackson?' At the lunch, the hamotzi was led by Alfred Frank and bentshen was chemted by Keith Peltz.

Israel in Egypt at Orpheum, May 1 By Bert Lewis

Con we talk? I mean about something specific, like fashion. We haven't discussed the subject for a long time, at least not in reference to ourselves. Oh, I've taken pot shots at various well-known people, but that isn't what I had in mind today. I was thinking not so much about how short or how long we want to wear our skirts; what I had in mind is hair fashion. We go from long to short, from sleek to bouffant, from curly to straight. Some of us, that is. Personally, I never had to worry about hair that was too curly. I always had the "straight as a stick" variety. On the other hand, I still remember both my daughters going through a time when straight, smooth was the only kind to have. They used to do what they called "wrap" their hair, sort of like a beehive, pin it in place and go to bed like that. In the morning, their gorgeous, naturally civly hair would brush out straight. They were happy because then they looked like everyone else. Some time after that, the bouffant look became popular. We allowed beauticians to abuse our othowise healthy hair until it stuck out at least four or five inches from the scalp, then they varnished it in place and theoretically, it didn't move until he next appointment. I still remember that it took a knitting needle or pencil to get to a place to scratch! Following that period in hair style, came severe, close to the head, short hair. By contrast, most of us looked really different. But what I'm trying to illustrate is simply the fact that we go from one look to another every few years. Most recently, longer hair has come back into favor. I myself have allowed a longer look than I used to wear. That's okay, but what bothers me is that now it's not only longer but messier. Deliberately mei^ier. Products are sold to moisten the hair with, then it's brushed out and as near as I can determine, fingers are run through the mane until it looked un-brushed and more than a little tousled. Now, I haven't anything against a casual look, but when I'm watching the up-to-the-minute looking ladies who anchor all those easy morning TV shows and they all look like they duln't get up in time to finish combing—well, then I think it's all gone too far. These ladies are dressed in perfectly beautiful outfits, some of them more "trendy" than others, but no matter how mini the skirt or how flashy the jewelry, the hair is the first thing we see. Let's face it, they do more close-ups of the head than long shots. We get a really good look at that hair. Well, that's all I had to say. Personally, I work hard not to look like Annette Funicello used to look. But my own hair is longer. And I do try to keep it looking brushed. That's it, my attack is finished If Jane or Joan or any of thow others are insulted, I'm sorry. But girls, do something!

All's well Ethel Edgar tells a story to illustrate that "All's well with the world." She was carrying some freshly washed strawberries to the Rose Blumkin Jewish Home to give to her husband, Aaron, a resident of the Home. On the way, she noticed a young boy (about two years old) walking with his father. The youngster cast an appreciative eye toward the strawberries. Mrs. Edgar then extended her plate and the youngster scanned the benies to find the largest and choicest. H« made his selection, but then astounded Mrs. Edgar by not plucking it into his mouth. Instead, he lovingly gave it to his father. "You must now have one for yourself," she said, and the boy gladly accommodated her. "I walked away feeling good about the condition of the world," she said.

Negev site of desert study BEERSHEBA (JTA) By studying the movements of sand dunes, scientists from Israel, Qenmark and Scotland are trying to predict where and when fertile land will give way to desert. Participating hi the project are Dr. Haim Tzoar of the Negev's Geography Department at Ben Gurion University; Dr. Keld Rasmussen, a geologist from the University of Aarhus in East Jutland, Denmark, and Professor Brian Willets of the University of Dundee, Scotland. The three conduct their studies in the Negev, which serves as their natural, living laboratory. At their disposal is a new geomorphological laboratory, which includes a wind-tunnel constructed to simulate sand dune movements in controlled conditions.
