For those of us who watched the proceedings on television and read the many newspaper accounts of activities, there were highlights and, if there is such a word, "lowlights."' Certainly, a highlight would be the coming together of the Democratic Party with unity emerging via the support given the selection of Michael Dukalds as the presidential candidate and Lloyd Bentsen as the vice presidential candidate. Another noticeable event was the introduction of youth into the nominating process ... Who will forget the charm and sophistication (and good looks) of John F. Kennedy Jr., as he introduced his uncle Ted, and who can deny the effectiveness of the Jackson children speaking in behalf of their father, Jesse? And the excitement in the Convention Hall... with the Rev. Mr. Jackson delivering one of the most powerful speeches that any of us have ever heard ... So much for a capsule look at the highlights. Let's turn our attention for a moment to the debate on Palestinian self determination. The effort to inject a Palestinian plank in the Democratic Platform was not voted upon, but nevertheless, it was a painful period for supporters of Israel. In this viewer's opinion, the attempt to gain acceptance of the Palestinian plank at the Denver platform meetings should have ended the effort. However, the power {tnd insistence of the Jackson camp prevailed to the point where debate ensued at the Convention. So supporters of Israel still have a valid concern over the role that the Rev. Mr. Jackson will play in the upcoming Democratic presidential campaign and in the Dukakis administration if the Massachusetts Governor wins the election in November and occupies the White House in 1989. Some reassurance to prospective Jewish voters has come from Hyman Bookbinder who severed his professional relationship with the American Jewish Committee to participate freely in partisan advocacy. "My intensive examination into Michael Dukakis' record and convictions ... has persuade me that nobody has ever come to the White House with a greater commitment and sensitivity to these central concerns," he said in a recent publicized statement. Mr. Bookbinder alluded to the "Jackson factor," suggesting that Republicans have chosen to frighten Jewish voters by distortion and exploitation. He aaid,"Yes, the Democratic party has a Jackson wing. And the Republicans have a Jesse Helms wing and a Falwell-Robertson wing..." Now that the Democratic Convention is history, the upcoming Republican Convention will rise to the forefront of television-viewer interest. Naturally, those of us who are supporters of Israel and who are concerned about Jewish interests will look for signs at) to how a George Bush administration will respond to Jewish concerns. There may be "bwligfats" as well as highlights; pay attention. Thiii issue of the Jewiih Preu ia dedicated to Bobette Gilbert of EKondido, Calif., in honor of her 75lh birthday.

Editor's Note: The following is the second of two srtlcles focusing on the Bureau of Jewish Education's Community Teachers Program in Omaha, Nebraska. By Joanie Jacobaon Federation public relations director On Feb. 24, 1988, the Board of Trustees of the. Foundation of the Jewish Federation of Omaha approved a grant, not to exceed $12,000, to assist the Community Teachers Recruitment Program sponsored by the Bureau of Jewish Education. Grant money was provided by distributions h-om the CM. "Nick" Newman Fund, the B'nai Jacob Adas Yeshuron Fund and the B'nei Jacob Anshe Sholom Fund. Community teachers are trained Jewish educators hired by the Federation to teach in Temple Israel and United Talmud Torali religious schools, the Friedel Jewish Academy and high school Hebrew courses offered through the Omaha Public School system. They are full-time employees who teach in a combination of these schools throughout the year. "For the first time, Omaha could be competitive in the marketplace," said Margo Riekes, BJE president. "We cotild offer competitive teaching salaries and bonus packages for continued education to attract quality Jewish educators to our city. "Thanks to the Foundation, we were able to launch an aggressive and vigorous recruitment campaign that presented a positive highprofile of Jewish Omaha. We placed ads in every major Jewish publication in this country. We contacted every major Hillel Foundation at universities with large Jewish populations. We worked with university placement services and departments of Judaic studies, the Jewish Agency and JESNA (Jewish Education Service of North America). We sent representatives to major citiM and brought candidates to Omaha. Without these endowmaat funds, this would never have happened."
David Friedknd "We had every reason to believe we would get a good return on our investment," said BJE director Susie Drazen. "By the end of April, we had almost 30 applications or inquiries—over six times the total number we received last year. The numbers were there and the quality was good. "By the end of May, three full-time community teachers had been hired. They were the best people available. We hired exactly who we wanted and they wanted us. We didn't have to settle," said Mrs. Drazen, "... not this year, anyway." "We proved it could be done," added Mrs. Riekes. "Strong and talented people applied for these jobs. Once they came here, they were sold on 'the good life'—the good Jewish life in Omaha, Nebr." David L. Friedland, chair man of the Foundation, cautioned that this grant from the Foimdation was "clearly a temporary solution to a permanent problem. There is no money set aside for the Community Teachers Recruitment Program on a continuing basis," said Mr. Friedland. "These dollars were earmarked for the 1988-89 school year with no guarantee for maintaining NEWS NUGGET According to the Bureau for the Aging, 381 MealsonWheels were delivered to senior adults in the Omaha area diunng April, an average of 13 meals per day. Thirty-three were ordered specifically for Passover. Kosher meals are available for hospitals and other niu-sing homes on request.

the standard of excellence that has been established. The problem is actually twofold: once you get them here, you have to keep them here, "An endowment to benefit the Community Teachers Program in Omaha would not only ensure a continuing commitment to excellence in Jewish education, but wouM also ease the annual financial commitment of the Federation, allowing funds to be directed to other programs and so-vices. "Quality Jewish teachers have been at the essence of
Jewish life for centuries," noted Mr. Friedland. "Teachers are not only an influence in our schools, but in the general Jewish commimity as well. They make an impact. We need them. "I'm confident that this community will respond," he concluded. "We are an active, self-motivated and caring Jewish community who has always been able to come Up with what we niSed. There is every indication that a fund to endow the Conununity Teachers Program would surely reap its own rewards."
Glen Fuieman Executive Director Jewiali Family Service It is 5 p.m. and you're preparing dinner to the music of your two-year-old tugging at your leg, the phone ringing and the baby crying because ... or your spouse has been given a recent job transfer to another city or lost his/her job ... or you are just generally feeling overwhehned. Sound familiar? Probably. Any one of these or similar normal life situations can cause tension. Prolonged and uitfesolved tension leads to stress. Stress, however, isn't always negative. Stress can be considered a condition of health and of life. A moderate level of stress can help maintain high achieveaaent and efficiency on the job, whether at home or elsewhere. A medium level of "controlled" stress can enhance motivation and competition in sports and theatrical performances. However, the key is "controlled stress" levels. Recognition of stress is, then, the next step. Changes in life styles or situations as illustrated above are primary sources of stress. One major way of identifying stress is a sudden change in one's attitude. "Unusual moodiness," shift in temperament, irritability and an increase in accidents are some typical indications there may be uocontroUe4 stressors within a person. Perhaps an illustration of a rubber band is helpful. Think of intermittently expanding and releasing the rubber band; [bus, alternately increasing and decreasing the tension placed upon it. When holdhig the rubber band taut for longer periods of time it befpna to change shape, which leads to unresolved teoakm. Application to the human being becomes clear. This unresolved tenaku or stress, untreated, can lead to deterioration, (tocreased productivity, physical wearing down and fatigue. Streos can further lead to depression and other (real) physical symptoms. The key is "stress managemoit," as discussed in an article printed in the Jewish Press on July 15 entitled "Dealing with Stress." Be observant of your physical and emotional status and my type of change. SWif'SvaluatioD is an ongoing process. Communicate your feelings, worries and fears regularly to those whom you trust. Regular recreational activities and relaxation exercises are very helpfuT'^ Professiooal help nuy need to be considered in this process. Handling stress is a common problem among the families seen at Jewish Family Service. In recogAiiing the ariatenca of streas and by identifying streaaors, stress can be a ^aeful tool in promoting and maintaining good health in each one of us.

To hear testimony in Tel Aviv By David Kaator BONN (JTA) - A Wast German court from Siegen will take testimony in Tel Aviv in the case of ErnstAugust Koenig, a fonner SS ofQoer accused of murdering at least six Gypsies at Auschwitz. The taatimony by Isradi dtixens, survivors of Auschwitz, is considered essential to the case. Koenig, 67, has repeatedly evaded justice for lack of evidence. A spokesman for the Central Organization of Oypsiea in Germany told the Jewish Telegraphic
Agency that the testimony in Tel Aviv could be instrumental in bringing to trial another former SS officer, Pery Broad. Broad, who livea near Cologne, served in a political department at AuschwiU, but he, too, was never charged because of lack of evidence. Gypsy activists bdleve he ployed an impo^ tant role in the deaths of Jews and Oypaiee. I

Soviet Jewry By Bonnie Pawloski and Ruth Potash Lazar and Tamara Kaiakevich were both electronics engineers by profession. Since applying for exit \Aas in 1973, they have been unable to find work in their field. Lazar now is a gas stoker and Tamara a bookkeeper. Seeking permission to leave with them are their son Leonid , a radio engineer, his wife, Alia, and son, lliay. Additional refuseniks in the family are their daughter, Galina, her hus-
band, Yui, and son, Maxim. Lazar is active in the refusenik community. He teaches Hebrew to beginners. In 1984, his apartment was searched by the KGB. They confiscated all the foreign language books that could be found. Friends in the West have appealed for help and emotional support for this large refusenik family.

There are always so many things to talk about, except when it's time for me to find a topic. Let's see—how about the weather? How did you like the storm the other day? The one that uprooted trees, moved rooftops, dropped limbs on cars and generiidly created havoc? And if that wasn't bad enough, many, many were without power for a long period of time. Unfortunately, when the temperature is in the 90'8 and the humidity alinoat matches, you don't want to be without electricity. No dectricity means no air conditioning and no refrigerator and no nothin'. We find out how spoiled we are when such things happen. And we also tend to remember when it was always like that. 1 mean we remember if we're over a certain age. I certainly recall when we went to a movie to cool off rather than to see entertainment! And when we dreaded going upstairs in ii two-storied house because it was so much hotter up there. And when air conditioning in a car meant driving with all the windows open and stirring up a wind. No wonderful. So much for the weather. What else can we explore? How about people promiaent in the news—no, not politicians— but rather those we read about. A few days ago, I read' about a judge someplace that embarrassed me. He also irritated me, but he caused me to feel very uncomfortable as well. Why? You already know the one I mean, don't you? The one who made a teirible scene in his courtroom because a woman lawyer used her own name rather than her husband's. He even attacked the attorney who tried to come to her aid. So why did this ihake me uneasy? Maybe because the judge had a veryJe^rish name and, as far as I'm concerned, it is our business as Jews to be open minded, liberal, aware of the rights of others, whether we agree with them or not. U we haven't had enough centuries of being castigated by those who had r«al or imagined grievances, who has? And tell me, judge, what the heck should it matter to you what this lawyer calls herself? Don't you think you made a giant fool of yourself? Obviously you do, because I read your public apology^but it never should have happened. In mamaloshen, "se pahst nisht." What else are people talking about these days? Trips to take (or return from), political conventions, whether or not Chaim Yankel should for this or that office, weddings, babies, jRxing and doing. The fact is, if your eyes are open and if you 're even half alive, there's always something going on that you may or may not find of interest. So pay attention everybody— things are happenin{i;, whether you agree with all of them or not. And keep those eyes open. That way, when something or somebody offends your sensibilities, you can squawk about it! It doesn't usually cbange anything, but it makes you feel better for a qiinute.

Jane Ripa Participants at Omaha's first Child Care Fair, to be held Aug. 14 at the JCC, will receive a take-home reference guide of information and suggestions for parents. Jane Rips, coordinator of the project, said she designed the guide, in the shape of a two-foot ruler, to
be a concise and convenient way for parents to evaluate day care servipes and providers. "The guide has three sections," Mrs. Rips said. "The first lists the type of child care services available; the second suggests questions to ask when calling providers, and the third lists things to look for when a parent makes an on-site visit.'' j The Fair will be from U a.m. to 4 p.m. and is cosponsored by National Council of Jewish Women Omaha Section and WOWT Channel 6 as part of its programming in "For Kid's Saka" Approximately 65 to 70 day care providers will have informational boqths, and there will be continuous workshops given by experts in child care and early childhood education.
