National Jewish groups support Peter Hoagiand By Morris MUlna Second District Democratic congressional candidate Peter Hoa^and, sees the financial support he has received from national Jewish groups as recognition for his stand on issues of Jewish concern, "In my 10 years of public service, the Omaha Jewish community and those in the teaching profession have been the bedrock of my support, and my legislative rec• ord is one that I am proud of," he told tha Jewish Preas in an interview this week. Mr. Hoagiand said RouodUbk, Washington, ,JAC, DcUware, Multi Issue, Soutfawest and Hudson Wtiiey pditfcal action committees have contributed to his fwmpaign. In addition, he pointed out that a "sizable" nimiber of local Jewish supporters have backed him financially and these names are listed openly in his Federal Diacloenre form. He said, bowew, that despite this strong and welcome support from the national and local Jewiah community, his oppooant ia able to ontspend hbn two to
Peter Hoagiand "It's remarkable Ihat with Jerry Schenken's ability to outspend me that the race is so close," he added. Mr. Hoagiand, an attorney, said that Dr. Schenken has built up a national following among wealthy doctors by years of campaigning against the Umitation of physicians' fees and fw addiUoqal taxes to fund Medicare. "Bjr looking at Schenken's dlackMure form, one can readily aee many, many coDtribatkma in the 1600 to $1,000 range from doct<»v and medical groaps," Mr. Hoagiand added.

SUKENIK/WIDMAN Cheryl Lynn Wldman became the bride of Howard Joseph Sukenik on Oct. 16 at Beth El Synagogue. Rabbi Paul Drazen and Cantor Emit Berkovits offidatad at the 12:30 p.m. ceremony, which was followed by a luncheon and reception at the Red Lion Hotel. The bride, a teacher in the San Bernardino, Calif., school system, is the daughter of Carole and Stan Widmon. The bridegroom, son of Barbara and Robert Sukenik of Mentone, Calif., is co-owner of a commoditiea brokerage. Debbie Winograd of San Frandaco served as matronof-honor f« her cousin. Beth Goodwin of Overland Park, Kan., and Laura Lashinsky of Omaha, cousins of the bride. Julie Horwich of Omaha and Kathy Fiscus of San Bernardino also attended the bride. The bridegroom's brother in-law, Phil Aronoff of San Diego, Calif., acted as best man. Groomsmen were
elected to the Kneaset in 1984. He now holds the Koch movement's only seat in the 120-member legislative body, but his party was expected to win additional seats in the Nov. 1 electiona. Charges of racism against the Kach party are baaed on its platform, which among other things calls for the expulsion of all Arabs from Israel and the administered territories. The party would also deny Israeli Arabs the. right to vote and would favor criminal penalties against Jews who marry or have sexual relations with Arabs. The legal process against Kach was initiated in the Central Election Committee by Labor, Likud and the smaller parties represented on the commit!^. The committee is chaired by Eliezer Goldberg, himself a High Court justice. The effort to ban the Progressive List was undertaken by Likud, the ultranationalist Tehiya party and other right-wing factions. They cited the party's support of Palestinian nationalism and its alleged links to the Palestine Liberation Organization. The amendment to the Basic Laws disqualifies parties that reject the notion of Israel as the state of the Jewish people.
Election lecture Steven Spiegel, profeaaor of political science at UCLA, will apeak on "The 19S8 U.S. Elections and the Jewish Community" (liberals vs. conservatives: Should Jews Care?) on Oct. 30, 7:30 p.m., at the Jewish Community Center. His lecture is being sponsored by the Jewish Cultural Arts Council and is free and open to the public. For more information, contact Sara Juster at 3344200.
Brant Dveirin and Howard Friedman of Redlands, Calif., Chris Heam of Santa Monica, Calif., and Keith Gormon of San Diego. The bride's brothers, Larry and Alan Widman, were ushers. Ringbearer was the bridegroom's nephew, Adam Aronoff. Following a wedding trip to Kona, Hawaii, the newlyweds will live in San Bernardino.

"Israel is one of the most stimulating, exciting and historical lands in- the world," commented Mrs. Lippy, "filled with Jews working very hard to make certain it continues to prosper and survive. Now, Omaha women can share in one of the most memorable experiences of their lives. Israel is everything they've ever dreamed of and more."

"We'll Stay in 5star hotels, lunch with Israeli soldiers and residents of a Moshav, attend a Shabbat service at the Western Wall, take a walk through ancient history and talk with workers and scientists from LUZ High-Tech Industry.

Stork crash lands
By Hugh Orgel TEL AVIV (JTA) - A stork arrived in Israel recently, but it was not delivering a baby. The migrant-on its annual flight from the approaching winter in Europe to the wanner climates of Africa—crash-landed, minus one foot. Officials and bird watchers of the Nature Reserves Authority had seen the bird flying with its flock but apparently missing one leg.
Bird watchers throughout the country were immediately instructed to be on the lookout for the injured bird and report its landing.
A group of observers saw it crash-land and watched as it keeled over, unable to fly again or barely even move. They took it to a kibbutz in the Galilee, which has an animal and 'bird support center, where the stork was outfitted with an artificial leg made of wood and plaster.

JCC theater plans workshop By Robert Woifson Executive Director ADL-CRC
Forty teachers attended an all-day workshop at the Jewish Community Center on Oct. 12, focusing on ways to present the Holocaust in the schools. The project was made possible by a grant from the Carl Prohm Foundation. The workshop approached the subject from many viewpoints. Carol Brown, social science supervisor for the Des Moines public schools, presented the Holocaust curriculum developed with the cooperation of the Jewish Federation of Des Moines, the public schools and financial support from a foundation. Her presentation was the educators 'nuts and bolts,' the practical aspects of introducing this material in a school setting. The Reverend Elizabeth Beams, executive director of the United Methodist Ministries and Rabbi Myer S. Kripke, rabbi emeritus of Beth El Synagogue, asked questions concerning the moral implications and centrality of teaching ' the Holocaust. Gloria Kaslow, curriculum committee chair for UTTO, presented a wide variety of audio-visual materials for use in confronting the Holocaust with students. Her own work in the classroom helped in focusing on appropriate uses for different materials. Dr. Oliver Pollak, history professor at UNO and practicing attorney, brought the story of his family to the teachers as a means of describing the history leading up to the Holocaust and the differing responses to the advancing shadows of Nazi domination. Dr. Martin Wolf, vice-president of instructional services at Iowa Western Community College, described the timeline of the period to provide a broad scope of the history itself. A panel discussion of survivors, Sam Fried, Bea Pappenheimer and Miriam Grossman, spoke of their personal histories, providing a view of the past that books and films cannot. The testimony of these brave people left all in the room With an understanding that when this generation dies, no one will be left who saw the horror and can tell the story from personal experience. The day was a great success in interesting teachers in the variety of methods for dealing with the Holocaust with more substance than currently offered. It also highlighted the opportunity to use this grim chapter of history as a light to shine io the dark comers where hatred festers.
