Adoption ring uncovered By Hugh Orgel and David Landau TEL AVIV (JTA) - An illegal adoption ring specializing in children from South America, has been uncovered Yediot Achnwot reported. The newspaper said its own investigation uncovered the operation, in which Israelis serve as intermediaries. About 30 adopted children arrive in Israel monthly, mostly from Bra-
zil, Argentina and Paraguay. Of that number, no more than five are legally adopted. Yediot Achronot said. The others undergo illegal adoption procedures. There are an estimated 2,500 to 3.000 children from Brazil now living in Israel One such duld is being returned to her natural Brazilian mother after Israel's Supreme Court Ust week decided that the 2-year-old girl was kidnapped and sold for adoption by a childless Israeli couple.

Young leaders complete 'Challenge for Leadership'
Ethiopan Jews despair A modem-day tragedy I have just returned from the annual American Jewish Press Association meeting in Kansas City and let me tell you the occasion was not all fun and games. There was a session to update the editors on the status of Bthiopian Jewry. This session more or less caught the editors by surprise because many were under the impression that Operation Moses and Operation Joshua a few years ago had rescued most of the Jews from Ethiopia and had transferred them to Israel. Thus, we were unprepared for what we were about to see and hear. Barbara Ribakove Gordon, director and chair of the North American Conference on Bthiopian Jewry, spoke for about an hour and accompanied her remarks with slides taken on recent visits by volunteers to Jewish villages. She told us that an estimated 10 to 12,000 Jews remain in the Ethiopian Province of Gondar and that the Jewish population consista primarily of the elderiy, the very young and women. She explained that the monuipental task of utilizing the escape route over the mountains during the rescue operations could be handled only by the healthiest and the strongest Many thousands who attempted to escape perished enroute from the many obstacles that could not be overcome. So the Jews left in Ethiopia — in most cases — are thoae who were not physically able to even attempt the journey. Her photographs gave us a glimpse into the daily life of an Ethiopian Jew, and heliev* me, tbaae were not pleasant to look at. Famine, diaeaae, diafiguranMot and BUVB... A roan was iixjured by a farm implement, and his wound for lack of antiseptic and clean water, festered to the point re gangrene set in. He rejected surgeiy to remove his sqying that he preferred to die rather than to be a in the streets. His wish was granted. He died, photos... children with Jewish stars on their necks and bloated bellisa from malnutrition... I perabnally got to the point where I did not want to see or hear room, but lira. Gordon was relenlleas. Here's a photo of Jewish women collecting dung so that ly oould sift through the animal matter with the hope of finding edible seeds. And eo oa.

"Saranne, I just want to say 'thank you,' " said Mrs. Malashock. "When you first asked me to do this I was beaitant, hut today I can boneatiy tell you that all of us are glad we made the commitment. We learned a lot, made new friends and have come to feel very much a part of the FedM-atioo and ita aomcies. It proves that poople ore your beat investment."

great way to give your time to the Omaha Jewish community and to learn how to better get along with people through the committee process." "It's an opportunity to continue the growth of our community, Gary Ostrow added,—"a good grass roots program." Beth Friedman explained tiiat each participant signed a Statement of Commitment to the "Challenge" program for a period of 16 months. "It seemed like such a long time at first, " she said, "but on a day-today basis, it was very workable. Basically, you just come and learn. I like the fact that I'm comfortable now when it comes to the Federation. That's because of'Challenge.' It was good." "We will continue to do ot|r work at the Federation," concluded Ms. Topper, "and we will continue to find active roles for all of you. Agency boards and nominating committees have your names. "You've had a chance to find out who we are and what we do," she continued. "Through the 'Challenge' program, we were able to present some key issues— Soviet Jewry, the' Jewish poor, campaign, Israel, the budgeting process, allocation or funds, aging and Jewiah aducaiion, to name a few—hut most important for us at the Federation, I 'd like to think we gained 40 new and special friends." "You are more knowledgeable about the Federation and ita seven agencies than aome who are currently sitting on boatda and committeee." Ilene Klein told the group.

eampi|L^ im^t^s Have you ev«r wondered why there are ao many diet books on the market? Because they don't work. While excess weight comes off in the early stages of dieting, it often all eventually comes back, sometimes with a fewextra pounds for good measure. When one diet doesn't work) we assume ifs because we didn't pick the right diet, and the search continues. Stop throwing your money away on diet books and exotic weight loss foods. Lack of exercise is the real problem. Wjl Even if you are eating a low calorie, low fat diet, \ you have to include exercise to achieve permanent weight control. Since your body was built to be exercised, it is 4ifricult to maintain proper body weight without it, Exercise changes the J way your body bums calories. A diet with no exercise results in equal loes of fat and muscle tissue. Add exercise id the weight loss will be 80 percent fat ind only 20 percent muscle. When your body is lean, your metabolism burns more calories all the time, even when you are inactive. You could be burning calories just sitting at your desk. I Dieting alone doesn't work for permanent weight [control. Exercise is essential to trim down and to keep off excess pounds and inches. How much frustration and aggravation have you had trying to lose'weight through dieting alone? Being overweight increases the risk of heart attacks and diabetes. How important is your health? If your weight has been a long-standing concern for you, commit yourself to the winning formula — Diet plus Exercise. The best strategy for a total body exercise program is at the Jewish Community Center's Health Services Department. The professionally trained staff will design a program that will exercise your large muscle groups and you will create a demand for calories and draw the fat from all parts of your body.

The youngest child in the family is now becoming verbal. Unlike her mother, who never talked babytalk, she sounds like a foreigner just learning English. But from experience, we know she'll get it all togeth«r fairly soon. So to the experts who are studying the entire process, I say don't fret about it. Let the kids alone, don't use bad language in their presence and be patient. Before too long you'll be asking "can't you be quiet iot a single minute?"
