Annual Jewish Book Month open^ November 13 with 15th Book Fair By Herb Schimel The 16th Annual Jewish Book Fair, sponsored by the Jewish Federation Library, will begin on Nov. 13 and end on Dec. 11. Edythe Wolf, Library executive director, noted that over the years several changes have occurred in programming for the Omaha community in celebration of National Jewish Book Month. She pointed out that during its beginning years the Library cosponsored the program with the Jewish Community Center as local lecturers and a book sale were offered to the community. Mrs. Wolf went on to state that the lectures were arranged by herself and a JCC staff worker. During the past decade, a large group of volunteer workers begin planning six months in advance as the selection
process to choose guest speakers is initiated, she said. According to Mrs. Wolf, programs geared to the children and families also take several weeks of planning, as attention is paid to the smallest of details. Jewish Book Month has become a widely observed date on the calendar of North American Jewry, with Jewish Community Centers, synagogues, Jewish schools, libraries, organizations and entire Jewish communities sponsoring Jewish Book Fairs and other special book programs to focus attention on the latest books of Jewish interest, according to Mrs. Wolf. The history of Jewish Book Month goes back more than half a century when a Boston librarian set up a Judaica exhibit to
mark the first Jewish Book Week. It later gained national acceptance and popularity. When the Jewish Book Council was formally organized 46 years ago, the week-long event was expanded into Jewish Book Month. Mrs. Wolf said it is worthy of note that this year, in the state of New York, Jewish Book Month will be proclaimed as an official observance. Gloria Kaslow, president of the Jewish Federation's Library board of directors, commented that one of the purposes of Jewish Book Month is to get people thinking and talking about Jewish books which are indeed windows to our Jewish world—Past, Present, Future. Programs and speakers for the 1988 Omaha Jewish Book Fair are available in the library.

At the end of the German occupation, it was decide to establish one central, multi-functional organization, through which many of the existing welfare societies would be coordinated. The association was formed in 1948, with the general board consisting of representatives from some 60 of the pre-war Jewish welfare societies.

eerie experience I wish I could have written about the whales this week. What a wonderful story—hill of hope for the future—mankind at its best. Unfortunately, editors of Jewish newspapers don't have that luxury. Instead, I had an eerie experience and it had nothing to do with Halloween , its spooks, goblins, tricks or treats. I went back in time—back to November, 1938—back to the inferno and hell of Kristallnacht. To do this, it wasn't necessary to call Tom Swift and seek out his 'time machine'; nor did I approach Captain Kirk and ask for 'beaming' instructions. I went back in time by looking at the Omaha Jewish Press issues of November 1938—precisely 50 years ago— ' precisely the time of Kristallnacht. At that time, David Blacker was business manager and managing editor, Frank R. Ackerman was editor, Leonard Nathan was associate editor, and Rabbi Frederick Cohn was contributing editor. My purpose was to find out how much they knew about Kristallnacht, how much were they able to tell the Omaha Jewish community. Let me quote from a Nov. 18 lead story which carried the headline: "WORLD SHOCKED BY GERMAN ATROCITIES By Bernard Postal Not since the days of the Israelites' enslavement under the Pharoahs of Egypt has an entire Jewish population been struck down by so dire a catastrophe as was visited upon the 500,000 Jews in Great Germany last week and this by the Nazi regime when it pronounced a mass sentence of economic death upon them. Climaxing two days of an officially inspired, directed and condoned orgy of savagery, equaling, if not surpassing in calculated cruelty and fury, the Czarist pogroms, the Third Reich promulgated the first of a new series of anti-Semitic decrees, the enforcement of which will be tantamount to shutting up the Jews in a Medieval ghetto and impressing them into forced labor brigades ..." There was much more to Mr. Postal's story—subheads cried out: "MOBS RUN WILD ... OOEBBELS CONDONES PROGROM . . . JEWS FINED 1400,000.000 ... RETURN OF GHETTO IMPENDS... FINANCIAL BLOW FATAL..." , So much for my terrible trip to the past—but my friends, it is a trip that we all must share—we all must remember. Think about Kristallnacht today, encourage bouses of worship across this land to keep their lights on November 9-10, in commemoration of that horrible time in our recent history. And look to the future! A strong Israel is our sanctuary, a strong Jewish community our local need. Support I both. Then, a Jewish editor can write about whales.

Il©fete©ffg ft® ftib© ©(dflftoir The Jewish Press reserves the right to edit letters tor reason of length or content. To the Editor: Having followed your coverage of the 1988 political campaigns, I believe there is an issue that needs to be brought before your readers. With no record, and an appointive incumbency and a tough election upcoming, Senator David Kames has tried to play friend to the Jewish community. Every friend of Israel knows that American assistance to the Jewish State is the litmus test for the friendship between our two nations. The vote for that assistance is, for ua, tiie most important vote cast each year in the Senate. It is not an easy vote and it clearly separates those who are willing to put something real E>ehind their rhetorical commitment to Israel and those who are not. On July 7, 1968, Senator David Kames was not. He voted against the foreign aid appropriation—against American backing for Israel with the ink still wet on his campaign promises of friendship and concern. The Senator's clear vote to shut the door on the state of Israel by voting against a bill that contained over 13 billion in economic assistance for the state after Nebraska friends of Israel repeatedly stressed the critical importance of a clear signal that American resolve hoe not wavered, can only be interpreted in one way—the Senator is no friend of ours. Fortunately, in Bob Kerrey we have a candidate who is ahead in the polls, who is a leader and a true friend. He supports asaiatance to Israel, he oppoaes arms to enemies and backs our precious rights here at home. He desoves your vote in next week's election. Hailan J. Neddie To the Editor.

Further information can be obtained from me at the address below. Please send a selfaddressed, stamped envelope. William J. Wolf American Council to Save Yemenite Jewry 6516 North 7th Street, Suite ID Phoenix, Ariz. 85014 To the Editor: By the time this appears in the Press the elections in Israel will be history. I had not intended to expreas my opinion in print in this issue but there are some thinga that need to be said. % It i^ indeed tragic to see Likud and Labor trample on democracy by banning the Kach party, a party that haa a powerful support among the electorate. Kach haa over 200,000 votera or 10.1%, and theee figures are from the newspaper Hadaahot, which is not exactly an admirer of Kahane. This whole matter has been a claaaic example of the election degenerating into a cheap and ugly IsraeL version of Tammany Hall. I would like to deal with the truly obacene charge that Kach and Kahane are racists.. Those who cannot debate will always defame. "Racist"? Truly outrageousll Truly c^Mcenall Dote Kach see Arabs or any non-Jew as being geaatically or radally different from Jews? Does Kahane or Kach deal with Jews and non-Jews on the basis of color or blood? Or does Kach say that the Arab, or any gentile, who lincerely converta to Halacha, is the same as the bom Jew. 0( course, the difference between the Jew and gentile is not a racial one, but a religious one. It is not a diatinction that wiginated with Rabbi Mair Kahane, but with Torah Judaiam. That ia "racism"? Torah Judaism ia racist?? Kach haa numeroua former gentilea who have converted to Judaism and who are enthuaiastic members and supporters, including ma Tlie bim OD Kach si^a more about Likud and Labor than KahaDf Thay have become cheap politicians who are ready to trample on the democracy UvBy so piously boast of defending. I mean to tell you it ia indeed a pleaauie to observe secular Zionism at its best. —And hare on the home front, Kitty continuae to purr contentedly and without condemnation, the greatest force and encouragsmant for intermarriage ever seen in these United State* and the Jewish sst^lithment aileoce is dealwilng.

Kristallnacht occurred on Nov. tf-lO. 1938. The foUowing are some reconunendations for ways to commemorate the 60th anoiversary of that "night of broken gla«8." 1. On the night of Nov. 9, keep all the outside lights of your honie and business lit. 2. Light a Yahrzeit (memorial) candle on the night of the 9th and use the occasion for a moment of silence fallowed by discussion. Suggested topics for discussion include: Why did this happen? How do we respond when faced with injustice and prejudice today? What are our responsibilities as individuals and a community for action and reaction to acts of violence and terror? 3. When driving a car on the 10th, do so with your headlights on. 4. Give Tzedakah to help rebuiki and restore synagogues in European communities where a remnant Jewish population lives. 5. To remember the destruction of books and Torah scrolls purchase books of Jewish content for your home library or give money to the library at the 'J' to symbolute our dedication and respect for the written word. 6. Watch the NETV special broadcast at 9 p.m. on Nov. 9. "Kristallnacht: The Journey from 1938 to 1988." Use this excellent production as a stepping stone for discussion in your home and with friends. 7. If you are a survivior of Kristallnacht, and have not preserved your story in oral or written form, please contact the ADL/CRC office to arrange to do so. 8. Call or stop in to the ADL/CRC office if you wish more information or want to discuss this chapter of our history that focuses our attention on so many relevant and timely issues.

Parasbat H«y« Sarah KristaUnacht-Fifty Years Ut«r Our Sidrah tells of Sarah's death, right at the begiiming. Inasmuch as the last Sidrah (exc^t for a brief genealogical note) ends with the long story of the Akedah. the planned sacrifice of Isaac, and the wonderful outcome of that story, the Midrash tries to connect the two: Could the Akedah have led to the death of Sarah? One Midrashic interpretation indeed has it so: Sarah knew what Abraham had in mind when he left with Isaac. She grieved for her son and wept for him. Before Abraham returned with Isaa( some days later, Sarah had died in her grief.' Without trying to press the analogy too far, it may be said that Mother Sarah and Mother Rachel have been weeping for their children all through the centuries. Our next Sidrah. Toledot, speaks of the generation, of Isaac and Rebekah and their sons. But Toledot has the connotation of "history," the history of the generations. Sarah weeping for her children is a facet of Jewish history, generation after generation. The generations of the 20th century, the great century of scimtific advance, of cultural attainments in music, Uterature, architecture, and all the arts, and of the greatest understanding of the human mind and human society, have seen mankind at its worst, the human being at his most degraded state. And we Jews have been at the center, the eternal victixns. 1 remember hearing tbe voice of President Roosevelt, that wondarful. mellow, charismatic voice, seying, "I could scarcely be-

lieve that such things could lumpen in a civilized country." It w9s the day after November 9, 1938. On the ninth, thousands of Jews in Germany-Austria had been killed, many more thousands arrested and sent to concentration (later, murder) camps, hundreds of synagogues vandalized and burned down, thousands and thousands of shops owned by Jews vandalized, destroyed, windows broken. Little shops operated by little pec^e and great department stores. It was the continuation of harassment, now degenerated into frightful overt acts, by degenerates. By Nazis. So much glass was broken over Germany-Austria that terrible November 9, that it was called "Kristallnacht." Jews had to pay for the restoration of the glass (insurance companies refused payment), Jews were the victims, the eternal victims. And many Sarahs died, weeping for their children, as Mother Sarah surveyed Toledot, the annals of Jewish history. Why only Sarah? Why not also Jane and Elizabeth and Margaret and Olga— and especially why not Gretchen?

Exit polls point to Likud coailtion
Lerner and Yale named (Contfaittwi from Page 1) Mr. Lemer, who is also chairman of the Federation's Planning and Evaluation Committee, emphanzed the urgency to prioritize community needs. "We're looking at the expansion of the Rose Blumkin Jewish Home, growing and demanding educational needs and the inevitability of a professional needs study for the entire Omaha Jewish community," he said. "We have to look at the bigger picture. We have to look ahead and be accountable. "We can no longer afford to live by the seat of our pants; we have to live within our means. If we don't raise more dollars in the '89 campaign, we'll have to learn to live with less ... we'll have fewer c^portunities as a Jewish community." "This reevahiation and reorganization is absolutely essential," added Mr. Yale. 'That we are effective, efficient and precise about meeting our needs is a major concern of this commu^ nity. Jay and I are aware of and'share in this concern.
With the community at a crossroads, we felt it was important enough to accept the chairmanship of the campaign. "We need to put some fire into some old values," he continued. "We need to give pec^ile reasons to identify, suppott and be active in our Jewish community; to offer rich and meaningful alternatives to our young people or they will leave; to adopt a wiUingnees to look at ourselves and to make sure that being Jewish remains a cherished priority whatever our lifestyles. "The issues are not new," Mr. Yale said,—"family, kids, parents and the future. To sustain a truly, viable Jewish community is our charge. We can do it through dynamic and relevant Jewish programs and services." "Services take money." emphasized Mr. Lemer. "If we want a strong, Jewish community life, we have to raise more Jewish community dollars. That's the message for '89." Mrs. Gitnick expressed praise for the appointment of Mr. Lemer and Mr. Yale.

IContioaed from Page 1) can expect to win 11 more aeats from parties of the left and center, while Likud can count on seven more from potential coalition partners on the right. But netthw of the twp major blocs would be able to command a majority in the 120-member Knesset alone, if the exit polls are accurate. The stalemate could be broken by the religious parties, which together pcdled 14 seats. They are considered more likely to align with Likud than with Labor. A Likud-led coalition of right-wing and all religious parties would command 61 Knesset seats, a slim majority. The two parties on the far left, the Hadash Communists and the Progressive List for Peace, won 5 and 2 seats respectively. Both are considered beyond the political pale, and neither bloc is likely to consider them potential coalition partners. About 2.8 million voters were eligible to cast ballots at nearly 5.000 polling stations all over Israel Accoi;(^ing to early reports, voter turnout was the highest since 1949, when 86 percent of the electorate voted for the first Knesset. In the last elections, in 1984, there was an 80 percent turnout. Dry weather and sunny
skies helped bring the voters out. The poUiiog stations (^lened at 7 a.m. local time knd dosed at 10 p.m. More than 7,000 police officers were on special duty around the country to maintain ordw. They had little ynstk to do. Minor scuffles were reported, mainly between rival ultra-Orthodox groups. Five religious parties were competing for votes. Two residents of the Israeli Arab village of Jiar eZarka were slightly injured when shots were fired, reportedly in a political quarreL In the ultra-Orthodox township of Bnei Brak, the manager of a home for the aged was accused of "borrowing" the identity cards of several elderly residents in order to vote more than once. A woman in Bnei Brak complained that her ID card was snatched from her hand as she waited in line to vote. Rival religious factions lit bonfires on the main street of Bnei Brak and hurled invectives at each other untU police arrived to separate them and extinguished the fires. Some religious parties accused supporters of the Chabad Hasidic movement in Jerusalem of illegal electioneering at the polls. The Hasidim were urging all males to don tefillin be-
fwe entering the voting booth. The Chabad movement ia strongly backing the Agudat Yiarael party this year, since an antiChabad faction broke away to form the rival Degel Hatorah party. The Central Election Committee, meanwhile, rejected a complaint by Mapam, the United Workers Party of Israel, that b«Ilocms with the Likud party name and ballot code letters tethered to some polling stations constituted illegal propaganda. The tally of seats reported by the exit polls adds up to 119, one short of the full Knesset. The breakdown is as follows, starting with the center and left: Labor, 40 seats: Citizens Rights Movement, 6; Mapam, 3; Center-Shinui. 2; Hadash Communists, 5; and Progressive List for Peace, 2. On the right: Likud, 40 seats; Tehiya. 3; Tsomet, 2; and Motedet. 2. The religious parties: National Rehgious Party, 5 seats; Shas, 6; and Agudat

Endorses Dukakis NEW YORK UTA) The Jewish Forward, the largest and oldest Yiddishlanguage newspaper, announced its endorsement of the Gov. Michael IhikakisSen.

Also noting their records on social issues, the Forward called the election of the Democratic party as necessary to accomplish "the never ending struggle for a more humane and caring society."
By Morris MaUoe When The Joy of Prayer makes its Omaha debut during Sabbath services at Temple Israel, Dec. 2 at 8 p.m., those attending will hear a work of art that compares with Bloch's Sacred Service, Cantor Harold Firestone said. He told the Jewish Press in an interview that Hie Joy of Prayer, by composer Martin Kalmanoff, is one of the few notable examples of large scale Jewish religious music written in this century. Omahans will have the unusual opportunity to not only hear the music, but to see Mr. Kalmanoff conduct the score during the Temple Israel service. Cantor Firestone said. He explained that the work had its premier performance at Temple Emanuel -in New York City and was performed later at the Kennedy Center Concert Hall featuring Metropolitan Opera star baritone SherrUl Milnes. "I was introduced to Mr. Milnes by Barbara and Marvin Taxman during a concert in Omaha, and he told me at that time of his wonderful experience in recording The Joy of Prayer." Cantor Firestone said that after talking with the opera star and after hearing the music on recordings, he was determined to study the music. During a trip to New York City, Cantor Firestone

Cantor Firestone later established an ongoing correspondence with Mr. Kalmanoff and when the Temple Israel budget permitted, he invited Mr. Kalmanoff to come to Omaha and be the first resident composer. In addition to conducting his music at the Sabbath service, Mr. Kalmanoff also will participate in the annual Hanukkah concert at Temple Israel, Dec. 4 at 3 p.to. "There is no charge for the public to attend. The Hanukkah program will include a variety of music ranging from traditional holiday melodies to Gershwin and Offenbach. The junior choir will sing selections from Mr. Kahnanoffs Feast of Lights. "Those music lovers who are appreciative of Handel's Messiah, and Bloch's Sacred Service, will be suitably impressed with Mr. Kalmanoff and his works," Cantor Firestone added.
Cantor Firestone tried to obtain the score from a music publisher, but the material was tmavailable. "Why don't you call the composer yourself?" suggested the clerk. Cantor Firestone did call and he was invited to the composer's apartment off Central Park. "He received me most cordially, and I was able to ac-

Soviets on peace By DavM Kantor MOSCOW (JTA) - A high-level Soviet official nuuntaiiu that the future of peace in the Middle East is now squarely up to Israel Gennady Gerasimov, chief spokesman of the Foreign Ministry, also insists that Soviet support of the latest Arab attempt to oust Israel from the United Nations did not reflect a' hardening of the Soviet attitude toward the Jewish state. i- "Not at all," Gerasimov told the Jcwfali Telegraphic Agency here last week. He was referring to the Soviet vote at the United Nations on Oct. 18 in favor of an
Arab naove to have the 48rd General Aaaembly reject Israel's credentials. It was defeated by a 95-41 vote, one of the largest margins since the Arabs first attempted the maneuver in 1982. The Israelis were elated by the results, but disturbed that the Soviets continued to vote along with the Arab bloc. "This particular event" shows an the contrary that we did not change our position. We supported the Arab demand on expelling Israel all along and we did it again this year," Gerasimov said, adding, "That has been our traditional attitude." The Israelis were told at the United Nations that a change in the Soviet voting pattern would occur only when an intematioDal conference for Middle East peace is convened.

Schenken Outlines His Goals of Middle East Policy Freedom, DcmocnKy and Geopolitical SUbUity should be Ihc fundamental goals of American Middle Eiaslem policy. Understanding the issues requires a comprehensive knowledge of the historical and sociological factors which precede ihe current situation. Every American should view Ihe region from tmlh short term and long term perspectives. In order to . accomplish what is best for our country, 1 feel that the following policy statements will provide our best guide post. I) Israel's political and military strengths are a major reaM)n for even the limited degree of stability M^^^' peace present in the region. "^ ii, i) U. S. - Israeli cooperation in the areas of defense, intelligence, and aniiterrorist activities continues to be an important aspect of our regional objective*. 3) Israel - as does America - tepresents a beacon of hope for those millions of Jews who are enslaved, imprisoned and/or persecuted around the world, but most especially in the East. We should ensure tMUhope remains viable'and real to them. 4) Advanced, sophisticated weapons shouM not be provided to unstable countries in ihe regitm (or elseiriteic) especially if ihey atiively or passively condone teiTorism. 5) America should continue to provide adequate 'i economic and military aid to lirael to at to auure the success of our imioiial goals and lo foster our desire for democivcy with peace and freedom all around the glob^ 6) Israel must *h»''abte to maintain and defend safe and secure borders. 7) The United Stales and Israel sliould continue to promote peaceful toluMMw lo the npion'i probleint ooaaiiieai witti klio accomiiliiiyiig our individual and mutual, objeclivet in the region and •iwrnd the world.

"I first met Sandra at a UJA women's conference in Chicago last summer," explained Mrs. Epstein. "We had instant rapport. She made excellent suggeations and we enjoyed a healthy exchange of ideas. 1 admire her. I know women in Omaha will enjoy meeting her and I look forward to heariog her speak."

Saudis may seek billions in weapons
By HowBrd Rosenberg WASHINGTON (JTA) Saudi Arabia is considering asking the United States next year to sell it $6 billion to $8 billion worth of weapons, including F/A-18 fighter planes, Capitol Hill sources said. A fight with staunchly pro-Israel members of Congress would almost certainly ensue, possibly similar to the 1981 battle over the proposed sale of AW ACS surveillance planes to the Saudis, which Congress ultimately approved. Lawmakers were outraged this spring that Saudi Arabia bought Chinese

CSS-2 ground-to-ground missiles capable of reaching Israel, without promptly informing the Reagan administration. But members of Congress may be wary this time of opposing a sale. Last spring, lawmakers were stunned by news that Britain had concluded a deal with the Saudis estimated in the tens of billions of dollars. With the agreement, Britain has supplanted the United States as the largest weapons supplier to the Middle East. Critics have pointed out that the potential loss of jobs and business
to Americans could be enor mous. The most recent congr«ssional-administration battle over.jfms to Saudi Arabia came last year, when Congress forced President Reagan to eliminate 1,600 Maverick air-to-ground missiles from a $1 billion package to the Saudis, which included 12 new F-15 fighter planes. Rep. Lawrence Smith (DFla.), who often leads congressional fights to block Arab arms sales, said he was suspicious of Saudi motives for seeking the latest batch of weapons. He noted that the United States sold
the Saudis weapons on tJuee occasions in 1987, as well as support equipment for the AWACS this year. Speaking from Hollywood, Fla., Smith said that now that the Iran-Iraq war is over, there is no threat currently facing the Saudis. He noted that the sale of 40 F/A-lSs to Kuwait in August marked the introduction of the advanced fighter planes to the Arab world. At that time, Kuwait was concerned about protecting sea travel in the Persian Gulf, which has since quieted to a tenuous ceasefire.
The Saudis recently bought 72 British Tornado fighter planes. Smith was not sure why the Saudis would also need F/A-18s, saying that maybe since Kuwait got them, it represents the "dog-chasing-thetail syndrome." Smith added that if the Saudis request the sale as a "litmus test" of U.S. commitment to Arab states, "the American people should once and for all reject this idea." Saudi Arabia's deputy information minister, Fouad al-Farsi, told the AmericanArab Affairs Council that
"the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has recently shown that it will, at all costs, maintain its defense capability," according to a report in The WaaUngtoo Times. "Remember, Saudi Arabia, unlike Israel, pays for its arms, so that is a great deal of lost business for America," Farsi reportedly added. In a speech to the group later in the day, U.S. Defense Secretary Frank Carlucci criticized "various interest groups and many in Congress" for opposing various arms sales to Arab countries.
