BJE announces 1988-89 scholarship recipients

Making a difference

As the new acadwnic year begins, scholarships fivm eight endowment funds have been awarded to 24 Omaha area college students. The funds are administered for the Foundation of the Jewish Federation of Omaha by the Financial Aid Committee of the Bureau of Jewish Education. Through the generosity of the MQton S. and Corinne N. Livingston Foundation, the Livingston Scholarship Fund was created to pro^de funds for college students. The 1988-89 Livingston Scholars are Diane Berger, Creighton University, and David Spizman, University of Kansas. The Ruth Sokolof Special Education Scholarship Fund was created and funded by Phil Sokolof to honor and perpetuate the memory of his wife, Ruth. The fund benefits graduate students in the field of special educati<Hi. Meryl Boumotein, University of NebraakaOmaha, is this year's Sokolof Scholarship recipient. The Lois Jeanne Schrager Memorial Scholarship was established by Phillip G. Schrager in 1980 as a lasting tribute to his late wife.

Redpfenta of the Schrager schdarships are Scott Forman, Northweatem University; Michael Kirke, Creighton University; AlWKlopper. University of Minnesota; E)dye Hoffman, Bradley University. The Nancy and Don Oreenberg Scholarship was established by family and friends in their honor. Michael Levine, University of Kansas, is the recipient. Recipients of the Omaha Jewish Community Scb(da^ ship Fund, endowed in 1987 by members of the community to provide financial aid to university students, are: Valery Astor, University of Nebraska-Lincoln; Jori Berger, Bradley Univvsity; Edi Eisenscher, Peru State College; Danielle Epstein, University of Southern California; Jennifer Forman, University of Kansas; Robert Kahn, University of Nebraska-Omaha; Judith Levin, University of NebraskaLincoln; Lisa Shkolnick, University of Kansas; Beth Spizman, University of Nebraska-Omaha Grants for graduate education are funded by the Sandra L. Feldman Fund, founded by her family to perpetuate her memory and

A couple of weeks ago, a readar called to express "outrage" over an article we had published in this newspaper. The caller insisted that the Omaha Jewish Press should not pubUsh an article about a lesbian rabbi who is starting her own congregation in Minnesota. 1 felt badly about the experience because I had expected the caller (considering his education and experience) to understand the fundamental difference between a newspaper and a house organ. That difference, of course, is that a house organ confines itself to good, favorable news, designed to influence judgment and decisions while a newspaper includes a wide variety of stories and opinions preferring to let the reader make up his own mind. Newspaper philosophy, incidentally, is in full agreement with the principles of Judaism. Judaism has a set of rules determining how people should conduct themselves, but not how to think. With this situation in mind, I proceeded to write an editorial explaining the difference between newspapers and public relations publications. In the editorial, I even called upon something written long ago by Harry Golden. He was describing the vastness of the known universe and the mind-boggling number of stars, and he said that considering the infinite nature of space, what possible difference would it make if the waiter brought you peas instead of carrots. I used this story to suggest to the reader that a mixed diet of news would be healthier than strained baby food all the time. I thought it was a clever editorial even though the reader probably would interpret it as being negative, but 1 was going to publish it nevertheless. UnUl: I received a telephone call from Shani Katzman, wife of Lubavitcher Rabbi Mendel Katzman, who off»ed the Katzman family's best noshes for a healthy and prosperous New Year to the Maline family. She continued her greeting with messages of cheer and goodwill, and when she hung up, I indeed felt better than I had before. I thought about her telephone call and then 1 thought back to something Rabbi Isaac Nadoff had said during the recent funeral of Jennie Richman. He said that in her lifetime she had a great love outside of her family, and that was a love for Israel. She made a great effort to support the Jewish state and she made a difference. Mrs. Richman also was a nice person to be with On many ne Jewish PT«M raaervM the right to edit htterm for rpaoccasions, she made me feel better as a human being just mm ol hmgth or <ioat«at. by being the nice person she was.

The agony of the Pollards By Enwanel A. Wliuton (Second of a twoiMit Mtiea) Reprinted with permiMion from Mldatnum Anne was never charged with espionage, nor with aiding and al>etting, nor with being an accessory to ber husband's actions. Her crime was only the removal of a suitcase containing documents. Polygraph tests prove she knew nothing about her husband's actions on behalf of Israel. NevCT in the history of Amoica has the innocent apouM of aamMuie convicted of eapionage also been Jailed. Dr. Herl>ert A. Moscoviti of Washington, in a presentendng letter to Chief Judge Aubrey Robinson of the FWeral District Court, wrote that he first began examining Anne in June 1984. He discoverod that she had a "motor abnormality of the stomach," meaning she cannot digest food properly. He WTote,"Undigested food reaithisa accumulate and coagulate with mucus and bile to fonn soft miiwnn. which are known as 'bezoars.' These have to be removed or broken up endoscopicaily to pass through the digestive system. "She requires the continuous use of drugs which stimulate the stomach to empty." The overproduction of add triggered by this cellular mass eats the mucus lining of the gastiointeatinal tract, causing a host of secondary complications involving the gall bMder, pancreaa and kidneys, according to Pollard (in his letter to me|. On Nov. 10, 1986, Dr. Robert Baker, chairman of am^ gery at the University of Illinois in Chicago, racommended qwdaliied surgery that was perfonned bat dU not suceeed. Dr. Baker recommended to the judf* that a psriod of incarceration would be detrimental to bar clinical eoodition. All theae medical recommendations wera Ignored. In December, Anne was transported to the Methodist Hospital in Rochester, Minn., auppoeedly for tests, but a m«nometry test—the standard teat for biUaiy dyskineaia— WM not done. She was continuaUy chained, lumds and feet, to her bed, with two male guards overaedng her every moment, even during a rectal examinaticm, according to Carol Pollard, Jonathan's slater. Anne was later placed among the general p<q)ulation of the Lexington Federal facility and dasaified fit to work. "She was given the job of piddng np cigarette butta. The guard told her it would be easy for her since she was continually bent over all the time and could see them easily. I was told by Pollards' parenta that she was attacked and beaten by a deranged inmate. She had to walk four timaa a day in great pain to the pharmacy to get her pills, often to be told they weren't there, according to the former inmate. On Jan. 4, she was taken from her cell in a semicomatose state, bleeding rectally. A doctor finally examined her, found she had a fever of 103 degrees, and was toeing significant amounts of blood. Only than was she admitted to the poorly staffed prison hospital Why was she forced to undergo a charade of an examination, chained to her bed, and pronounced healthy? Why was she guarded by males when women in prison are norj^^ally guarded by females? Given her substantially ^^Mwlnoed condition, why were two strapping nude guards HBran necessary? What were they supposed to keep Anne \ PoUaid from aaying or doing? Fedoral prison officials keep her in total isolation, snau^ ing ailsnoe, and refusing requeata for indqiendent, qualified medical care for hw deteriorating condition, Anna's attcm^y.

In aptte of written oontracta to tha contrary, it would be difficult to restrain Egypt from shfaping this atatoof-the-art tank or subsequent vvakua toSwiS Arabia, Jordan, or other Arab ooiutriaa. It can alao be a»sumed that componant technotogjr. miaoilea, optics, laaers. etc. would eventually find their way into Arab annoriee. This U.S. technology, open to the scrutiinr of Ardb states, some whom are eloee to the Soviets, could lead to the compromise of our main battle tank. In coQjtinctian with this technical transfer sgreament, the current Secretary of Defense Prank Cariuod and Egyptian Defense Minister Lieutenant General Abdel HaUm Aba Ghosala have recently signed an agreement allowing Egyptian companiee to build and furaiah anna to the United Statee. Although this agreement was said to be only symbolic in nature, one can assume that there are plans for greater reciprocity in techncdogy tranafer than there now appears to be on the surface. This means that Egypt becomea a surrogate manufacturer and transfer sgent for a broad range of technology and finiahed weapona systems to any Arab coantiy, again effectively bypassing Cong^ieeslonal overview. Daring the Pollards' ckwed hearings, Weinberger stated (in his earlier noted secret affidavit) that'"a stronger Israel would upaet the balance of power in the region."

If there was a williugnsas to pursue a line of toterrogation that was already known to have been unproductive—to fact, fabe—what motivee lay behtod the entire purauit of Pollard to bagto with?

lewish activists pleased over Bush removal of ethnic committee member By Howani RoMab«qi WASHINGTON (JTA)Jewiah activists from both political parties welcomed Vice President George Bush's dedsioo to dismiss a member of his ethnic campaign panel linked to antiSemitic involvements. But they reserved judgement on two other members of the panel who are still being probed. The Bush campaign dismissed Jerome Brentar, conan of Bush's Coalif American Nationalia, after a report by Larry CoUer in the Washington Jewish Week that said Brentar was very active in effcHts to defend John Demjanjuk, the ex-Nazi who was sentenced to death by an Is'raeli court for his role as "Ivan the Terrible" in the Treblinka death camp. Brentar was also linked to the Institute for Historical Review, a group based in Torrence, Calif., that is a leader in the Hokicaust revisionist movement. Two

Population declining By BeaKajrfets

TORONTO (JTA) - Winnipeg's Jewish communityis aging, diminishing and moving to the South End of the city, according to a report prqMred by Touche ROM Management Consultants for th* Winnqwg Jewish Commnnity Coundl's long-range planning committee. The report indicatM that Winn^wg's Jewish popolation haa continued the decline that began in the 1960a, though popolatioa loaa haa slowed down, compared with the p«iad betWMD the 1971 and 1981 For 40 yeara Wimi9«g'a Jeiriah populatian was atatkoaiy, wtth a population in the naighborhood at 20,000. Iba peak year waa 1961.

other members of the nationaHtiae coalition, Florian Galdau and Philip Guarino, are being investigated for anti-JawUi invotvamtnts or links to fascist groups. David Sander, a spokesman for the Both canfMign, said that hi the eases of Galdau and Guarino, Bush will not dedda on their fate "until there is substantiation" of the charge. "If there is, we will obviously take the appropriate action at that tbne." Sandor added that "the only real official statcUient" on the issue was from campaign ichainnan James Baker III, who was quoted as saying "there is absolutely no room for anti-Semitism or bigotry of any sort in our campaign." Jacob Stein, former chairMan of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations and a RqHiblican Jewish activist, praised Baker and Bush for "qpiickly" dismissing Brentar. ' He said that in the other two cases, "allegations are being checked out." Stein said if allegati(His against them are true, "those parties will be dismissed" as well Stein denied tliat this may mark a repeat (A a 1964 campaign incident regarded as having alienated many Jews—a pnqrer breakfast at the 1984 Republican N»^ tkmal Convention, attended by Presideot Reagan, that included prayers for Jesus and distribution of bibles containing the New Testament.

Marshall Breger, chairman of the Adn^nistrative C<Hiference of the United States and a former Reagan liaison to the Jewish community, praised the Jewish Week for fatmging the issue to the fampaign's attention. He said that the matter of Brentar "was resolved before tiie article left the printing house and arrived in people's homee for Shabbat You cannot expect any quicker actioD than that" Br«ger said the diimiswal, and the poeability of others, shows "some de^w of coui^ age" since committee members, like Brentar, are leaders of their respective commiinttifw. He added that you "cannot ccmduct an FBI investigation of everyone who wants to be involved in your campaign." Breger called on Democratic presidential nommee Michael Dukakis to condemn supporters m Chicago and elsewhere who are "associated with antiSemitism." Hyman Bookbinder, special adviser to Dukakis on the Middle East, human righta and the underprivileged, said Dukakis dkl condemn those associated with anti-Senritiam in his speech at the B'nai B'rith International convention.

All ifte attention recently drtwn to the name Brandeis recal]i many memoriee. At least to me, a native of thia dty. If you grew up here, aa I did, and if you've been old enough to vote for quite a few elections, you must alao remember the daya of the old Brandeia store. The first thing moat people aay when asked about their recollections ia uaoaUy "that's where I'd meet my bimda, under the dock." Who doesn't remember the big dock, high tq> over the entrance up on the 16th stnet side? If yon cttne . downtown with the ecqireaa purpose of meeting somebody, that was a likely place. ^ Depending on the year, and the whims of the merchanr diaera, while you waited you could browse around the counters of costume jewelry or maybe hosiery. Or if you wandered off-center, you could go into the men's department to your left. If you really have a good memory, you may know that to the right side (north) there was a ladies shoe department, also good for browsing or even resting your feet. And do you remember the elevators as well as I do? I think those are at least partially responsible for my lifekmg dialika I can still feel the jar of those cars as they were adjusted to the exact level of the floor when the doors opened. And the glove the operator wore on one hand— the hand that operated the metal inner door. The way you called oat the fkwr you wanted, and the way the opo'ator reeled off all the things to be found on each floor. And once in a whOe, the dam thing wouki balk and not do what it waa soppoaed to. Thoae were the times when my hand wpoU be very ti^itfy held and I would be sure that in a second I was ei^er going to be sick or die. Obviously, I lived but I'm anra I leansed about claustrophobia in thoae eagesi Some of my eariieet independent shopping was done in that old store. It was such a quidi walk from Central High that many of my age gtcnp often took advantage and a group of gigriing, noiay kids wouM barge in and check out thinga, Maybe stopping first in the Pompeiian Room for a coke or a little something to tide a person over until dinner. Then on to the junior department to try on thinga. OUer ladies kwed to check out the wonderful hooaewaree aecttoo. I gueaa I've hem in many such dqiartments since the famoua fifth, but in its day it waa pretty spectacular. Today, Maey'a could eaaily bog^ the mind of any of us who first understood "hoosewares" as it related to Brandeia, but 1 think it mi^t yet hold np under eompaiisons. I have a faint mamory ol a floor devoted to toys, and an even fainter memory of a trip to see a doU house. It wasn't an crdJBarydoll house it waa very q)edal, perfect in every detail and grand beyond the imaginatloa of any little (^ I wiah I oonld naaamber the woman's name oooneeted with ^ this. Mqrfa*yoa can-ccma to think of it, if I had the time and JnrfhurtjoB, I ooaU probably reaearch oU Jewish ftiiaaaa and ewtoaOy find pobUdty about it aU. llHrt are nndoahtedty people who oouU do an entire article on the Brandeis baMmant alone-the qwdal thinga to be fdund, the bargaina and, of course, the underground route all the my to where? I think the "dime atore" but corraet me if I'm wraiff. Vobmaa could be written afaoot this old place. My apace is Umitad even though my nostalgia ian't If yoa'ra a aentioMBtal pcnon too, yon ahonkl make it a poiBt to eh^ out the exhibit presently at the'J.'It's a dnch to be good for hours of eonveraationa that start with "do you rHmmber?"

Spy trial opens behind closed doors

Ebanseelcs pressure ' By Roth E. Gmber ROME (JTA) - The Paleetine Liberation Organization can decisively influence Israel's parliamentary elections Nov. 1, according to Labor Party Knesset member Abba Eban. "A clear declaration, the recognition of Israel and the renunciation of terrorism (by the FLO) would help the Labor Party," Eban told reporters after meetings here with Foreign Minister Giulio Andreotti and Socialist Party leader Bettino Craxi.

Brandeis exhibit opens Mrs. Alan Bwr (right) aiid her MM Biid dm^tar-Maw, Mr. and Mn. Ted BMT, attoided the recent opening of the Brandeb exhibit, organixed by the Nebraska Jewish Hiator ica] Society at the Jewish Commanity Center. The exhibit will be on display natil November.

Eban, a former foreign minister and presently chairman of the Kneaaet Foreign Affairs and Detaise Committee, is on a mission on behalf of Foreign Minister Shimon Peres, leader of the Labor Party. He is visiting Western European capitals to persuade national leaders not to endorse purported plans by the PLO to declare an independent Palestinian state in the West Bank and to set up a government in exile.

By Hugh Orgel TEL AVIV (JTA) - The trial of suspected Soviet spy Shabtai Kalmanovitz opened in a Tel Aviv court. The entire trial is being conducted behind closed doors. The presiding judges are Menahem Ilan, Sboshana Herman and Zvi Hacohen. Amnon Zichroni, who defended Mordechai Vanunu at his espionage trial, is defense attorney. Central district prosecutor Nun Shanit is arguing for the state. Kalmanovitz, a Sovietbom businessman with important sodal, political and military connections in Israel, waa arrested last Decembw for alleged espionage. He confessed to several offenses but later retracted, rlaiming his C<MIfessions were improperiy obtained. The case electrified the Israeli public, because Kalmanovitz has been at the center of previous scandals and has ties to a number of prominent Israeli officials. He was reportedly close to the late Premier Golda Meir and formerly served as an aide to Samuel Flatto-

Sharon, the eccentric multimillionaire fugitive from French justice who served as a one-man Knesset faction from 1977 to 1981. ,{^% Unttad Talmud t \A'Torah of Omaha Glen Fineman and Andy Stevenson will each teach a course in "Hebrew High," the high school division of the United Talmud Torah, this semester. "Modern Teenage Dilemmas: A Jewish Perspective, 11" is a continuation of the course which Mr. Fineman and the Jewish Family Service staff taught two years ago. Topics covered mchided intermarriage, divorce, suicide, substance abuse and others. Mr. Stevenson, director of the JCC theater, has chosen a play of Jewish content which the class will read and discuss, as well as do some role-playing. This approach represents a first in the Hebrew High program. The classes meet on Wednesday evenings, 7:309:16 p.m., at the Jewish Community Center. To register call Stan Mitchell, school director. 656-3770.

He is also urging Weston European countries to pressure the PLO to recognize Israel. The Labor Party is "ready to negotiate with any Palestinians disposed to recognize Israel and renounce terrorism," Eban said.

Dr. E.F. Skare II Chiropractic Physician MORNING STIFFNESS Many folks (especially older ones) feel stiff am) creaky in tlie morning. Why? Chiropractic exptons that it is a common condition resulting from the gradual aging process. The interverlebral discs bmime narrower and ttiinner due to tK force of gravity; vertebrae ttwi settle down and come ckiser together. This causes stiffness and discomfort, especially after inactivity, as after a long nijpit of sleep.. Chiropractors can refieve this discomfort fast, through the use of heat therapy, ultrasound nutritional guidance and alt-important spinal adjustments to correct any mtsalignflient of vertebrae Restoring cnulafion, nerve function and nonnal spinal balance alkiws better nourishment of your neuromusculoskeletal system.

Hebrew, an introduction to modem Hebrew with an emphasis on speaking, reading and writing, will be taught by Mrs. Juster. The Chug Ivrit is for those who already know some Hebrew and wish to practice and/or improve their speaking and listening skills. The group will use Israeli news broadcasts and Hebrew newspapers as springboards for discussion on current events in Israel. Basic language courses will also be offered, Mrs. Juster said, and will include Beginning Hebrew, for those with little or no background; Siddur Hebrew, to improve Hebrew reading skills while gaining familiarity with the Siddur and the meaning of the prayers; Yiddish classes on two levels will be taught by Cantor Leo Fettman. Israeli folk dancing will be taught by Shuli Rayberg. Although students are encouraged to sign up for the whole semesto', drt^ins are welcome for this class and no batkground is reqiured. Several special minicourses are also planned, Mrs. Juster said. Professor Jerry Hoffman of Qreigfaton University will teach "Why Hitler? Why Nazis?" on Wednesdays, Oct. 26-Nov. 30. This six-week seminar .will be an inquiry into the nature and condition of German society during the 1920'8 and 1930's, and a search for a plausible explanation of the causes of National Sodaliam. Area wine experts will lead a special koeher winetasting seminar featuring the new kosher wines of California, the Golan

This course is being coordinated by Rabbis Azriel, Drazen and Nadoff. Annette Fettman will again offer "Preparation and Observance of the Sabbath." Special CJL events for the fall include an address by Father John Pawlikowski entitled "An Interreligious Dialogue and Search For Peace in the Middle East," 3 p.m., Oct. 16.
