In introducing the Israeli generals, Robert K. Lifton, president of AJCongress, recalled that the American Jewish Congress had been the first U.S..Jewish group to adopt a public statement last September—before the riots broke out in Gaza and the West Bank—urging that a territorial compromise following an international peace conference was Israel's safest course to follow. He added: "During recent visit to Israel we learned that a large number of highranking retired Israeli military officers now believe Israel's military security itself is jeopardized by holding on to the territories and ruling an increasingly restive Arab population. To advance this view, they have formed a new organization called the Council for Peace and Security, which is headed by General Yariv. "We have invited four of their repi^aantatives, all military comnumden with extensive combat experience, to speak to American Jews directly and via a closed-circuit satellite broadcast with Jewish leaders in 21 dties." Major General Uri Orr (Res.), former chief of staff of the central command, which includes Judea and Samaria, emphasized the

demographic threat to Israel, evidenced by the growing Palestinian Arab population in the territories, now numbering nearly 1.5 million. He pointed out that if this population were granted the right to vote, "Israel's Jewish character would be threatened. "But if they were barred the right to vote." he added, "Israel's democratic character would be jeopardized. That is why 1 beiieve the problem facing Israel is one of demography, not geography. The issue is the growing Arab population that surrounds us, not'the line we withdraw to when we give up land for peace." Brigadier General £!phraim Sneh (Res.), head of Israel's dvil administration in Judea and Samaria from 1986 to 1987, said Israel's armed might was such that "our forces coukl still defeat any combination of Arab countries in battle. "We have not come to oar condaainM tnemae of battle fatigua.^' he said. "Our raadintaa to fight for Israel haa not baan eroded. "Some of the generals in this room have fought seven wars to defend Israel's survival," he said. "The task now is to save the next gaoeration from having to fight more wars. This ia our basic purpose."

Within weeks we knew we had made the right choice to come here. "Professionally, this city affntled me the opportunity to become director of its Jewish Community Center and executive director of its Federation. Because of the people and values inherent in this community, we were

able to work well together. We proved thst a Federation and its agencies do not have to have an adversarial relationship. We solidified the partnership between the lay community and the professional staff. "Omaha is a well-organized, quality Jewish community. I've never been able to understand why more Jewish people don't identify with us." FRAN: "I've never known a place where a Center director was so special in the community. On our first night here, Mary Fellman called and said she wanted to drop something off. She and Morrie came to our door at 6p.m., like caterers for a party. They brought chicken, challah, kugel, wine, cake... it was nine or ten Friday nights before we had a Shabbat diimer at home! We knew that this was going to be okay. "Professionally, this was the most fertile ground I 've ever walked on. I was able to make a name for myself in my field—I became very marketable.

A letter from Israel Elditor's note: Murray and Sharee Newman recently received a letter from Jerusalem written by Murrel and Irit Kohn. Murrel was a class-mate of Murray's at the University of Pennsylvania and they have been friends for more than 30 years. Murrel grew up in Louisville, Ky., and on a trip to Israel about 20 years ago, met Irit, a Sabra, and essentially never left Israel. He emigrated, married, served in the Israel Defense Force and now owns a public accounting firm in Jerusalem. Irit is an attorney, employed by the City of Jerusalem as an ombudsman. The letter from the Kohns is as follows:

First fifty years The story of the National Conference of Christians and Jews began 60 years ago during the presidential campaign of 1928 when New York Governor Al Smith was opposed for being a Catholic. « In Omaha, an anti-Semitic incident led to the founding of the Midlands Chapter. According to a 1975 pamphlet compiled by the Chapter, the following took place; "W. Otto Swanson, head of the Nebraska Ckithlng Company, was visited by a fellow Omaha businessman: "Swanson listened whh growing disbelief and Indignation while the man toW him of the formation In Omaha of an organizatbn that would promote a boycott of Jewish retail establishments and other businesses and would encourage patronage of Swanson's $tore because it was 'Christian-owned. "I couWnl believe anything like that could happen," he said later. "Not In the United States and certainly not In Omaha." The cbthier then acted, selecting the National Conference of Christians and Jews as his vehicle to work in the cause of human understanding. Atong with Ralph E. Svoboda, attorney; W. Dale Clark, banker and Milton Livingston, businessman, he helped create the Midlands Chapter. Much of this fascinating history has been brought to light by the NCCJ staff fronj a lengthy source document researched and written by Stephen Szmrecsany, PhD, Father Flanagan's Boys' Home. In the summary, a group of distinguished Omahans from the three major raJIgious groups became the local co-founders of the Mkilands Chapter In additwn to Swanson, Svoboda, Clark and Livingston. In celebration of the first 50 years, H is fitting that the Jewish Press recognize and acclaim these founders: JEWISH- William Holzman, Morris Jacobs, Philip Kfutznick, J. Harry Kulakofsky, Henry Monsky, Mrs. B6n (Madeline) Silver and Harry A. Wolf. CATHOLIC - The Rev. Thomas Bowdern, S.J., Charles Bongardt, Mrs. Charles (Maureen) Hamilton, Edward Leary, Paul Martin, Frances P.Matthews, Frank McDevitt, and Mrs. Arthur (Mary) Mullen. PROTESTANT- Alvln Johnson, P.M. Marrs, Joseph Masters, George Pratt, Roy Towl and Perry Wheeler. For 50 years, the Midlands Chapter of NCCJ has been a powerful guardian of brotherhood. Ks leaders have known that the survival of demoaacy depends on transmitting to each new generatnn the painful lessons of the past and the continuing vision of a brotherhood and sisterhood that unHes all Americans. The above information was taken from the booklet entitled, "Making the Practice of Amerk» Match Its Creed" We hope to provide our readers wKh the entire text at some future niiportunity. Happy Mlh Mkilands Chapter.

NEW YORK (JTA) The National Conference on Soviet Jewry has been granted central responsibility, authority and accountability for Soviet Jewry advocacy on the national level, under a plan adopted by the board of directors of the Council of Jewish Federations. The restructuring of the national Soviet Jewry movement in America was decided in the first CJF board of directors meeting conducted over the CJF television satellite network. The new plan calls on the NCSJ to maintain its "special relations" with the National Jewish Community Relations Advisory Council and to utilize NJCRAC to help coordinate local implementation of national policies and recommendations. NJCRAC is an umbrella organization that coordinates policy for 114 Jewish community relations councils across the country and 11 of the largest natkmal Jewish organizations. In the past, it ha^ helped shape national Jewish policy relating to Soviet Jewry. Morris Abram, chairman

of the NCSJ, said at a news conference that the National Conference is now "the final ultimate authority" in the movement on behalf of Soviet Jewry in America. Abram added that the NCSJ will 'work with NJCRAC and other groups in matters relating to Soviet Jews. According to the new plan, the National Conference will communicate directly with individual communities across the country when it wishes to organize local activities relating to Soviet Jewry. Such communications are to be done in cooperation with NJCRAC, which will continue to serve as "conununity coordinator for Soviet Jewry." To increase coordination between the two groups, the plan calls for: * NCSJ and NJCRAC to have adjoining offices or be located in the same building. • The NJCRAC chairperson to serve as vice president of NCSJ, as well as some overlap of leadership on the two organizations' executive committees; and • NJCRAC representation on National Conference delegations meeting with government officials.

... I wanted to write this letter to you and to the rest of the famUy in the U.S.A. and to friends there a long time ago, actually on the 9th of December ... when the riots on the West Bank started. I didn't do it until today because I simply didn't have the mental strength to do it. Because 1 think that the situation is serious and the pictures in newspapers, television, i.e., the media is not necessarily balanced, I decided to write this letter and to'try to explain what is really happening. As you know, Israel is divided into two main streams of

thought concerning the occupied territories. The right wing thinks that those areas belong to us because of historical reasons, security reasons, etc. Many of those who belong to the right wing are orthodox Jews who believe that if they would be ready to give up territories they'll act against the Bible. There are many Israelis who belong to the right wing who are not orthodox and they believe that we cannot give back the territories because of sectirity reasons and because they belong to us. We didn't start the 1967 War. The Arabs started it and they lost those territories. On the other hand there is the left wing (we belong to this stream. We think that it is not reasonable to rule over 1.6 million Arabs. It is not reasonable because of a number of reasons. It is very difficult, we are a small nation. Ruling over a people for such a long period can corrupt you. Demographic reasons. We don't need so many Arabs among us. They multiply very fast. We realize that they want their own right which is very natural. When they are between us they are like cancer. When they will have their own state they'll be outside of our country and it'll be easier to deal with them even in a time of a war. We realize that a war can come up with a Palestinian state because I believe that they don't want us here. We don't need them between ua because we want a Jewish State. It was a big mistake that>we didn't do anything all these years with them and this is one of the reasons for what is happening now. But we have to look forward and to think what we are doing from now on. There is another reason behind the thinking of the left wing. We have to know for our own morality that we tried everything before we chose force. We believe that we can be united only if we will act morally, and here we come to what happens today with our army. The boys in the army are facing a completely new situation. The boys, women and others in the occupied territories curse them, spit on them, throw stones, use knives, etc. They can't shoot unless there is a real danger to their life. You can imagine what they are going through. You see on television only us beating them but there is the other side ) what they are doing to us. These soldiers are only 18, 19 years old and the whole situation is very difficult for them. I believe that every other state would in such a situation shoot, kill hundreds of them and stop the riots. We are different because morals; values are very important to us although you hear here and there on different phenomena. The real problem is that the Arabs have so many voices, so many streams, many of them want Jerusalem, Haifa, Jaffa, etc. They don't want to talk straight to us. Why? We are the one,that they have to live with. There are so many questions that one doesn't have an answer for. Yesterday, there was the attack on the bus, you can imagine what hatred it ariaes. The man who was killed was a father of three tdds. The mother died six months ago from cancer. Those are the people that we'll have to make peace with, if we will come to it. When you understand the problems to their depth you understand why each wing is so firm in his views. We are dealing with questions of survival. We went in the 40 years that the state eiUsts through wars and we remember very good how painful it was. Just two weeks ago we buried a son, killed in action, of a friend from my class who was 18 years old. This is a very difficult experience. All of us in all of Israel want peace with security. We know that the minutes that we shall be weak we will lose. I tried to show you only a little bit of what is happening here. Israel had difficult times in the past we will overcome, but it is not easy.

Awad launches campaign for return to Israel By Bert Lewis

In the old tradition of "spring cleaning," I recently decided it was more than time to straighten up my desk. It isn't that it's such a hard job—it's just something I tend to put off until even I know it can't wait any longer. So what was all over it? Well, most stuff that belonged in two categories: One: why did I think this was worth saving? And two: where should this go? The first one was easy, once I decided to be merciless. The clippings I was going to use for a project some day had to go because in retrospect I knew I would never use them; little scraps of paper with names or numbers (or both) with no other clue as to why I had saved them; notes taken at a meeting to guarantee I wouldn't forget something—that kind of junk was easy. Get rid of that stuff once and for all. Once the first couple of things hit the wastebasket, it gets easier. The hard part is not what gets thrown away, but in what g^ saved. The minutes of meetings require only that I pot them into the notebook I own specifically for that purpose. So nu, do it. The computer print-out sheets that make a big pile on my desk need careful scrutiny. Do I really want to save all of them? Are some of them duplications and if so, why can't I throw out at least one copy? And when I decide which are definitely "keepers," what the heck do I keep them in? Do I need a file just for that paper? Where would I store it? And the photogn^hs—what about all those loose snaps? Some have a proper album, some get stuffed into an envelope. Some get too much time spent over them and end up in a frame because I think I want them where I can see them, at least for a while. And pictures can take more time than anything else because they mean getting involved. You can't be tough about discarding things when you're holding a snapshot of an adorable toddler, even if that toddler is now a big kid. Or a picture taken at some special family event—yeah, it's not a dnch to pop such a thing into a drawer and forget about it. That requires a little savoring—going over once more how good it was that day. You can't hurry this part of the housecleaning. Wait a minute—what's this? A letter marked "Answer before such-and-such," and nothing to indicate it was ever answered. So that's why I never heard from her again! How do you like that—And there's the book I've turned the house up-side-down to find. Who left it there? Well, it's easy to see it was more than time to straighten up the desk. Having finished, I feel so virtuous I can hardly stand it. Since it looks so nice, I almost want to avoid using it to see how long I can keep it neat. Almost, I said. If I conform to my old habits, it will stay orderly for a couple of weeks and then suddenly I 'U realize I 've reverted to type and things are a mess. I think of that as human nature. It's more' comforting than admitting to just plain bed habits. Right? I knew you'd agree.

By Andrew SUow CarroU NEW YORK(JTA)-Palestinian activist Mubarak Awad vowed to influence American and worldwide public opinion in his efforts to return to Jerusalem. The Palestinian advocate of non-violence, who was deported from Israel, did not rule out the possibility of converting to Judaism and returning to Israel under the Law of Return, as he has threatened repeatedly. But he indicated it would be a last step after he made appeals to the United Nations, American legislators, European parliaments and the next Israeli government. Jewish organizations, meanwhile, released statements supporting Israel's right to expel the Palestiniah activist. Awad spoke at a news conference here sponsored by the National Council of Churches. He arrived in New York one week after the Israeli Supreme Court rejected his appeal to remain in Israel. He had been in prison since May. Bom in East Jerusalem, Awad, 44, lived in the United States for 13 years and eventually became an American citizen. He had been staying in Israel under a tourist visa and directing the Center for the Study of Non-Violence in Jerusalem. The visa expired last November. Although the Supreme Court ruled only on the expiration of the visa, Israeli authorities accused him of helping to direct the Palestinian uprising in the administered territories. Asked if he was an instiga• tor of the six-month insurrection, Awad said, "That's true. I said that we cannot continue living under occupation ... and have to struggle to get rid of occupation." Awad also said, in response to a question, that he advocates sabotage of electrical lines and water lines, but only when such sabotage is directed against -planned Jewish settlements on Arab land. He said he continues to denounce violence, however, and that he opposes the throwing of stones, the seating of forest fires or "injuries to anyone." "I deal with people who always carry a gun," he said, when asked why in some public statements he has not totally ruled out the use of violence in the service of Palestinian nationalism. "But I give them an alternative. If the alternatives •re succesihil, then they don't need the gun." He said he does not tell fellow Paleatinians "what you have to do," but rather gives them • choice.

Rabbi Gilbert Klapermsn. "American Jews hsve consistently maintained the highest percentage of voters in this country." Nevertheless, he said, "we are disturbed to learn from surveys conducted by the SCA and others that as many as 1,000,000 Jews are not registered. This is especially evident in the 18-25- and 60year and older category."

Klaperman emphasized that the synogogve "constitutes apowerful vehicle to reach the largest numbers of Jews," since "the SCA's six constituent bodies serve 4,000,000 synagogue members." The booklet contains a comprehensive background on the issue and information on how to organize a local voter registration drive.

Cheaper by the dozen

If parents feel overwhelmed by one child or two, how would they fare with an even dozen—yes, 12 children from infancy to teenagers. Cheaper by the Doien, the new play at the Upstairs dinner theater, from the book of the same name, shows bow the Gilbreths coped. The Gilbreths took the path of time and motion efficiency teaching ^he youngsters to learn foreign languages with time spent in the bathroom, how to bathe efficiently and how to make their own decisions by means of a family council. When the children learn why time is of the essence, hilarity turns to sensitivity and suddenly all seem to mature a notch or two. Cbeapa by the Dozen is a heart-wanning production led by veteran actor Frank DeOeorge and is a perfect way for the entire family to celebrate Father's Day. If the holiday is not convenient, the show will be playing through Aug. 6, and any time the family attends it will be a day to rejoice with father, mother, and all the children. (M.M.)

Barlev agreed that some of the fires could be attributed to the especially hot weather that Israel has been experiencing recently. However, he said many of the fires were caused by arson and most of them were being started by children who were sent by adults with political motivation.

By Chuck Araoid If you're a typical person who's 10 to 20 pounds overweight, you may have lost most of the excess fat at one time or another only to gain it back as soon as you started to eat "normal" again. There's a reason for that and a way to beat it. Despite the lip service paid to exercise, most dieters prefer a passive approach to weight loss. They go on low-calorie diets without increasing their physical activity. Some even fear that exercise will increase their appetites and cause them to put on more weight. Relying solely on calorie restriction to lose weight can backfire on the most conscientious dieter for four reasons: * On a reduced-calorie diet, you initially lose water and lean muscle as well as fat. Normally, the composition of weight gained or lost is about 76 percent fat and 25 percent muscle. But an unsupervised low-calorie diet usually results in mostly lean-muscle loss. That lowers your basal metabolic rate (the amount of energy you expend at rest) so your body will burn fewer calories when you're sedentary as well as when you're working out. In other words, if you don't include an exerdse program in your weight-kies plan, you will ac-

-g.

tually be gaining weight even though you're consuming fewer calories. * Many unsupervised lowcalorie diets compromise your ov«all nutrition because they don't provide enough important vitamins or minerals. * Chronic dieting can inhibit your body's ability to loee fat. Calorie-deprivation diets can lead to a potentially dangerous increase in body fat. * The ideal diet results in maximum fat loss and minimum lean-muscle loss, since you need the lean muscle to keep your basal metabflUc rate high. A successful weight-management program combines a reasonable low-calorie diet with at least 30 minutes of walking, jogging, bicycling, swimming or aerobics class performed four times a week. Your success can be measured by the amount of fat you lose, rather than pounds. Retaining lean muscle helps you maintain permanent weight loss. Losing weight without exerdse is a no-win—and ultimately nolose—situation. The Jewish Commiuiity Center Health Services staff will be happy to prescribe an exercise program for you.

Philip Roth enters the age of meta-flctlon By Joseph Coheo TuUne University ) Rotii's latest novel The Counteriife (Farrar Straus Giroux, $18.96) was published early in 1987. Since its appearance, it has garnered some choice awards, having been recognized as the best work of fiction for 1987 by the National Book Critics and by Present Tense magazine. More recently it has won the JWB National Jewish Book Award for 1988. Why is it so good? To say that it is vintage Roth, mellowed and more witty than anything he has previously published is to belabor the obvious. I.have not always been Roth's most complimentary critic, yet is is clear to me now that in his seemingly infinite understanding of the human animal, his astute and talented rendering in his recent books of the comedy of manners, he has placed himself in the company of such past luminaries as the 18th century wits, the play wrists, Etherege, Congreve and Wycherly, the diarist, Samuel Pepys, the novelists, Henry Fielding and Jane Austen, and the poet, playwright and wit, Oscar Wilde. At this stage in his career, he appears to be a natural for the Nobel Prize. But it is not the humor and insight he shares with these writers that infuses the rich texture of The Counteriife with so much meaning. His advantage over them, an accident of chronology, to be siire, but nonetheless a crucial one, is that he lives in an age when the most important narrative writing is rapidly moving into meta-fiction. Meta-fiction isn't simply another term for experimental, avant-garde writing; it is an approach which links metaphysics to the ordinary contingencies and exigencies of life. Put another way, Roth, like Borges, Durrell, Nabokov, Fowles and Ozick, is post-Einsteinian. Relativity, which theoretically reduces linearity to absurdity and does away with the distinctions of the past, prMent and future, negates the principle of casuality, and permits us to interpret reality in a totally subjective way. It is this subjectivity that structures The CounterlUe like our dreams, in which time and space are always relative and cause and effect are not lied together, subjectivity makes it plausible that Henry and Nathan Zuckerman should go on with their lives after each of them has died Axii^^ open-heart surgery. It provides, moreover, the credibility for the fictional characters in the book to appear as real persons engaged in commenting on the roles their author has create for them. For that reason Maria, the second of that name, has the privilege of removing herself from the action, of opting not to remain with Nathan because she disagrees with the role that he has created for her in his fiction. Of course, one can argue that this is just a mirror trick or another set of Chinese boxes, that Maria's situation is a product of Zuckerman's fiction, that Zuckerman was a product of Peter Tamapol's fiction (My Life As A Man), and that Peter Tamapol is a product of Philip Roth's fiction. But the argument itself is dissolved by our willingness to suspend disbeUef and invest each of these beings with life. Real life. As Nathan'tells Harry in the letter he

All these variations, in fact, everything in the book (not the least of which are the veiled satiric references to the fiction of Norman Mailer and John Updike) are served up on the counter, countering each other.

The attack, the first of its kind .in Tel Aviv, was described as one of the most daring and most dastardly because it had the potential to seriously injure civilians. The malls and its hundreds of shops employ Israeli and West Bank and Gaza Strip Arabs who do clean-up and maintenance work. Molotov cocktails are a favorite weapon of the Arab uprising in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

Other members of the team were Col. David Smiley, an army officer, and Derek Verachoyle, a writer. The book alleges that the last two, posing as cigarette smugglers in the Adriatic ports of Italy and Yugoslavia, were given the job of attaching limpet mines to the hulls of ships used in the Mossad's Aliyah Bet operation to convey Holocaust survivors to British-controlled Palestine. The explosives were timed tOjyy)lode after the British agents had left either Yugoslav or Italian waters. Those involved, writes the Observer, claimed that the explosions occurred in port before the immigrants had boarded the ships and that lives were not piit at risk.
