"Every Jewish child deserves to have a Jewish education," commented Marcia Greene, teacher and consultant for the Special Needs program sponsored by the Bureau of Jewish Education. "It's wrong to deny any of our children the opportunity to participate in the Jewish experience. "When I was hired in 1986, there were three children in the program. In 1987, the enroUment grew to 16. This year, we tutored 24 students from all three congregations, and I realize how many are still not beii^ serviced." The Spedsl Needs program was developed by BJE to sid Jewish children with learning disahOitiea obtain a Jewish education. The program has been funded by grsnts from the Lois Jeanne Schragw Mnnorial Fund and the B'nai Jacob Adas Yeahuron Fund, both administered by the Foundation of the Jewish Federation of Omaha. "We want theae children to have some aucoesa;" ahe explained, "—to fed good mot'UMr JawiabMss and their Jewish education. If then's a nrohton raading English, there is certainly going to be a problem reading Hebrew." Tutora for the Special Needs program are Mrs. Grasoa, alao an early childhood qMdaUst at the Ma-. donna School, and Mrs. Shirley Goodman, who has a Mfatar's, Dagrae in In Siptanber. BJE wiU offer tha Arat SiMdal Ntoda Raiigioua School Oaaa in the lagkm. created far thaaa chiUran arho caaaot attend the currant program. "It will operate at their level," said Mrs. Greaoa. "They'U

Marda Greene learn about G-d and their heritage—history, religion, songs and Hebrew letters. Now, they can go to religious school on Sunday, just like the other kids." Funding for the Religious School Class was made possibie by a grant from the Esthn- K. Newman Memorial Fund. "It's hard fcS' any paroit to accept the fact they have a child with limitations," she continued, "but we all have limitations. Some parents don't always know there's a problon and some rafuse to adaiowMg* it. Studies indicato the rate of acceptance ia lower amang Jewiah peopk." Phylhs Brown, chairman of the Special Needs Committee, and Dr. James Wax, chairman bom 1981-87, tried to establish a spedal needs program in the 1970'8. "Parante were ao reluctant in thoaa d«ys," aatd Ma. Brown, who has a Master's Dapraa in Staadal Education. "Thay didn't want their chiMren revaaiad to tha Jewiah cnmnaiBity. It was only whan a mother »oka out on behalf of her ttiU who couldn't go to Sunday School Uka the rest

of the kids, that the ^Mcial' Needa program, became a priority." "We've been real sooeaasful." Mrs. Greene reported. "Yearend teeting at Temple Israd showed that every ^>ecial Needs child in that congragatioD ranked in the top 1/3 of their dass. Look how wonderful this is! All of our students got s good background in reading Hebrew. They learned Jewish history and the Hebrew alphabet." She anmfaasiaad that the diikbreBOd'iiot fad uncomfortable about beings tutored. "A number of them do much batter with on»ottona," aha noted. "It allows them to be suoceasfuL "Parante who deny their childran the opportuoity ta learn at their own tevd are fulfilling their own needa, not the child's," she conduded. "You do the aooat for your chiU by offering a variety of learning experisMea. rather than forcing him or her to go to a daaaroom that is not set up for them to auccaad."

By Bert Lewis

As you read this, the Democratic Convention is probably old news, but writing this, it's just finished. So let's talk about it, ok? 1 don't want to discuss the probable qualifications of the candidates ... what I want to lean in on is the family element. After all, who can't relate on that level? So let me ask you, if you are the parent of an adult son or daughter in the public eye, how would you like to have every facet of your life investigated? Every business deal, every little piece of property, every^tock? \. Or, on a more personal note, if ever in your life you had been guilty of some minor indiscretion would you suffer by having it made public now? Because of course that's just what happens to the otherwise proud parents qf people running for high office. If some Chiam-Yankel thinks you cheated him on a deal 45 years ago, suddenly the shnook remembers and is talking to newspaper reporters! And let's say you're the spouse, more likely the wtfe (since few women are running for President these days) of a candidate. Talk about getting personal! What you pay for your clothes, where you get your hair done, what your maiden name was and who your folks are, whether they came over on the Mayflower or on the U.S.S. Steerage, how long between your wedding date and the arrival of your first child are all questions you would find answered in the newspapers and in the sleasy magazines. The answers may not be exactly correct, but all's fair in love, politics and nonlibelous reportage. If you are the youngsters of such a visible person as a presidential candidate, you carry a very big responsibility too. If anybody who ever saw you do what you routinely do at a party or bar, if you ever got ticketed for speeding (and who hasn't?), if you ever flunked Chemistry, if you were a flower child who dropped out, if, if, if... nothing is sacred. You can expect to read about how often you change your socks and who you went to dancing class with in those awful papers near the check-out stand in the grocery store. I suppose if there exists a really bad photograph of you, the close relative of the candidate, that too will turn up in Time magazine. Some wag once said, "I don't care what they say about me in the newspaper, as long as they spell my name correctly". Well kiddo, not me! I would hate all of that exposure to me and mine, wouldn't you? I mean really, whose business is it that I love to shop sales racks more than I like ice cream? Or that I wasn't born with this color hair? Or what I weigh and what size shoes I wear and how often I skipped school (lo those many years ago!)? No, no, no. So that's the reason I 'ra making a public statement here and now. To my children and grandchildren: Think very carefully before you throw your hat into the ring. Make dam sure everything is (you should pardon the expre«sion) kosher. Remember your activities during teenage time ... think about every little fender-bender, every detail of your young life. If you think nothing will embarass you, fine. But let me know. I want to be sure my pasaport is in order.

Eugene Freund anticipates minimum of prejudice

Bon Voyage The spotlight of hope is shining on the youth of this community and all of us are looking forward to the publication of their good news. I am referring, of course, to ARTZA -- a three week adventure to Israel now underway for 32 high school students, and the upcoming trip to Chicago for seven teenagers who will be participating in the North American Maccabi youth games. In behalf of the community, we wish both groups great joy and satisfeotion in their respective endeavors. Also, we invite both groups to share with our readers the stories of their experiences upon their return to Omaha. In addition, we commend those in the conununity who speaiiieaded these opportunities for our youth.

Thank you advertisers

Our readers should be aware of the fact that the bulk of this newspaper's financial support comes from advertising. Advertisers throughout this community have supported our weekly editions and holiday issues in spirited fashion for many, many years. As a matter of fact', some of our advertisers have purchased space in the Jewish Press on a consistent basis since 1920. Thank you advertisers. Thank you for making it possible for us to provide the Jewish community with a weekly newspaper.

It Jan Wayne appears to have a glow of achievement about her, it's probably caused by a recent announcement from Dublin, Ireland. Her fkiend, Ben Briso6e, son of the first Jewish Lord Mayor of Dublin, hac become the second Jewilh Lord Mayor of Dublin. Lord Mayor Briscoe toured the Jewish Comnvunity Campus here in 1880 and was introduced to many by Mary Fellman.

NCCJ president warns against scapegoating NEW YORK - Jacqueline G. Wexler, president of the National Conference of Christians and Jews, has warned against the scapegoating of some religious groups and the possible fostering of group hatred by those opposed to the yet to be released film The Last Temptation of Christ.

Youth Aliyah, Project Renewal and education. The budget for the 1988-89 fiscal year is $381 million, and $33 million for Project Renewal. The Agency jpsolved to develop a procedure to take effect at the next Assembly whereby Assembly members will have the opportunity to advise on major trends in the budget for the following fiscal year, as well as act on the budget of the current fiscal year. Design of the Assembly deliberations was based on four tracks: Society and Technology, Regional Development, Jewish Education, Aliyah and Klita. The Assembly reacted to the call of its new leadership, Simcha Dimitz, chairman of the executive, and Mendel Kaplan, chairman of the Board of Governors, by adopting far-reaching resolutions changing the basic direction snd responsibilities of the Jewish Agency. It was decided to transfer basic services in immigrant absorption to the government. Resdutioas accepted

Bociationa, small business support and better Aliyah procedures thus avoiding a lot of duplication and undue bureaucracy. In the 40 years since the establishment of the State of Israel, the Jewish Agency has helped absorb nearly two million immigrants. A r»«valuation of the Agency's settlement programs resulted in shifting support for agricultural units to a regional development of the Galilee and Negev with more emphasis on industrial and high technology developments. Emphasis in many resolutions was placed on utilizing and encouraging the lessons of Project Roiewal, which is a sister-city concept. In addition, the Assembly endorsed the government's decision to secure direct flights from the Soviet Union to Israel, aitd resolved to urge the Soviets to live up to their commitment to the Helsinki Accords.

A six-year^ld boy ran a high fever for a couple of daya and then was hospitalized where he went into a coma for 24 hours. Extensive tests prompted physicians to diagnose the ailment as viral encephalitis. This was the beginning of the youngster's nine-yearold battle with epilepsy and his father's attempt to help him and others afflicted with the disease. The boy's father, Rabbi Hillel Medlov, was in Omaha last week visiting hif sister, Mrs. Shelly Coma. He is a native of Kansas City, and resided in Omaha briefly in 1955 before going to the East Coast for rabbinic studies and and subsequent employment as head of a Jewish Day School and Talmud Torah.
