The results have been very positive for Omaha." Mr. FHedman: "The goal of the Federation should be to continue to keep the quality of ser\ices at the highest level I've worked both sides of the equation. I know how hard it is to raise the dollars, and how hard it is to allocate those resources effectively. If we have a quaUty Jewish experience in Omaha, it will help us retain the youth and attract new people to our community " Mrs. Goidsteiii: "i made a choice to be Jewish and 1 feel good about that choice. In making it. I understood what came with it. It is the responsibility of every Jew to support each other.

and declined. I felt it was too big to be truly productive. I was encouraged to write a letter to that effect and was subsequently asked to serve on an ad hoc committee that resulted in a significant reduction of Board members. Because I was instrumental in Chat change. I felt it was tune to stand behind what 1 believed in. I've been fortunate in my Ufe, financially and physically. It's time to pay back, not just write a check. Anyone can write a check." Dr. Newman: "I was thrilled and extremely proud to be asked to serve on the Federation Board. Volunteer work is very important to me, particularly in Che Jewish community This community has given me a wonderful husband and family, a spiriCual identity and a head start in working with children. Volunteers do those necessary things that can't be done by paid staff. I've always believed that everyone has tu do a Uttle extra to make our world a better place."

Fruit arrives By Robert Wolfson Executive Director ADL<:RC
The new government of Israel is now a reality. Its exis• leni-e is in part a result of the international pressures beint{ brought to bear as a result of unilateral actions by the I'LO. The United States decision to open a dialogue with the PLO has been a great change in the landscape. When .Moshe Fox was here, it was only one day after the Schultz announcement, actually only hours after. His reactions then and the developments since are helpful in framing this difficult development. The Israeli position is clear. They will not negotiate directly with the PLO. The Arabic press is full of references to the actions of Arafat being steps in the destruction of Israel. The central message of the Palestinian Covenant, pledging the destruction of Israel, has not changed. What sells in the West doesn't sell in the Arab world. Israel seeks to continue to pursue direct negotiations. To some this appears a joke given the role the PLO appears to have in the territories. The distinction is vital. Israel knows full well that anyone who comes to a negotiating table will require-'the approval of the PLO. Negotiations with these hand picked individuals who have not publicly been members of the PLO can occur. The Israeli position IS that although this arrangement is possible, direct talks with thosepublicly conunitted to the eventual destruction <pf Israel is counterproductive. The ADL has taken a position which acknowledges the Israeli distrust in the words of the PLO. The intifada continues and has the support of the PLO. there has been now renunciation of the Covenant, and Arafat has placed an independent Palestinian state as. a precondition for negotiations. None of these reassure Israeh fear that this is another trap designed to pressure an acceptance of a reality without the required negotiations. .ADL has also expressed understanding for Schultz and the action taken by the U.S. Once the U.S. estabUished minimal requirements for participation in dialogue and those were met. to not have acted would have been a failure to live up to U.S. commitments. . Ut must be noted also that Schultz carefully limited the nature of the dialogue and reminded all that deeds must accompany words. He also reassured Israel that U S.-Israel ties are strong, that direct negotiations are required for true peace, that the US. is opposed to an imposed solution and to an independent Palestinian state. .All of these observ aliens and the hope generated by the dt>velupment9 have been frozen in place by the disaster of. the downed Pan .Am flight. If the evidence shows terrorists action, as it appears it will, the world must be skeptical of the abihty of .Arafat tocontrol his diverse organization. Xbe forces of compromise must be stronger and must rise t'6 demonstrate that there are partners to negotiate with w ho are committed (o a peaceful solution that does not sell a vision of Israeli destruction in the Arab world. May we all live (o see the day when fear and suffering are replaced w^th peace, security and prosperity for all those in Israel and her neighbors.

AMSTERDAM (JTA) The West German freighter lunez docked at the port of Vlaardingen, west of Rotterdam, to a reception not usually accorded a prosaic refrigerated ship making commercial rounds. Officials of the European Community and the ambassadors of several Arab and West European countries were on hand to greet the ship, as was the Palestine Liberation Organization's representative from The Hague. The lunez, which sailed from the Israeli port of Ashdod earlier this month, brought the first cargo of citrus fruit from the Gaza Strip to be marketed in Europe directly by the Palestinian growers. Heretofore, agricultural produce from the Israeliadministered territories was handled by Israeli government agencies, Agrexco and the Citrus Marketing Board. The lunez carried 1,100 tons of grapefruit, labeled •Gaza Top." There was no Israeli brand name, though the shipment was packed in cardboard cases manufactured in Israel.

Point of View—A Response
Flight 103 The tragic end to Pan-American Flight 103 will be a matter of discussion for a long time to come. Although at this writing no hard evidence has been found to explain the cause of the crash, most of the professionals interviewed on television have indicated that t«rTorist8 are responaible. A terrorist places a bomb on board the aircraft and in a short time after takeoff the hves of hundreds of innocent people are eliminated. No action can bring those Uves back. Children, men and women—each unique and irreplaceable—each with ifamily and friends who are now mourners-each is now part of a historical incident that rational people cannot accept. Even if evidence is found to disprove the early speculation of a bomb, the thoughts of continuing t«rrorism rightfully will continue each time we board a plane, boat, bus or train. Wherever people congregate be it in ah airport terminal, a synagogue, a bus station, or even an Olympic residence or a Marine barracks — the possibility of terrorism exists. After the Pan-American tragedy, those in positions to vknow, came forth with information relating to bomb threats, terrorist bomb-making expertise, and other data restricted to the eyes and ears of Embassy employes and insecurity personnel only. The general public was never advised that specific Pan-Am flights had been targeted by terrorists. So, it would seem that with all the experience that the free world has had frith terrorism there still is no absolutely sure way to protect the traveling public from random death. What should bother us is the fact that we do know the makeup of the major terrorist organizations, what countries support them, who their leaders are, and how they operate. Yet, we seem to be unable, or unwilling, to take action ' against the terrorists or the nations supporting them to ^get at the root of this vile organism. Sure, we express indignation! But what exactly did we' do to retaliate against the killers of our Marines, our Klinghoffer. our TWA victims? We know that oil money fills the coffers of many Persian Gulf states who then take large measures of that money and turn it over to aid terrorists. So what do we do about it? We buy more and more oil and then send our Navy to the Gulf to make certain that shipping is not interrupted. This placating of terrorism supporters only leads to more terrorism. How many more examples do we need? Those who find it easy to forget the past should not be surprised or shocked more weeping in the future.
By Rabbi Isjaac Nadoff Carol Katzman's "Point of View," which appeared in the Dec. 23 issue of the Jewish Press, contains s^utem^nts that require correction. 1 -*:^ We are all deeply troubled over the events of recent weeks. The issue of "Who Is A Jew " has dominated our thoughts and inflamed emotions of .lews throughout the world. Friction and divisiveness caused by this issue have endangered the cherished unity of the Jewish people. The oneness of our people, heretofore our greatest source of strength, is now jeopardized. Our first and most immediate obligation is to heal the breach created in-the ranks of our people, both in Israel and in the Diaspora, and to recognize that despite differences, the Jewish ideal of unity must remain our highest priority. A first and most important step toward this end is to remove rehgious and hailachic issues from the political arena. The Kneset, a parliamentary body, is a secular institution. Religious questions are not in its domain of authority or competence. It may not legislate on matters of religion. The time has come to separate Israeli politics from reUgion. It is to the advantage of both. It is an essential condition and an indispensable requirement for the future health and well-being of the State of Israel. In the matter of Carol Katzman's strong reactions and passionate sense of outrage, as reflected in her "Point of View ' article, it is clear that she has been cruelly misled by distortions and false conclusions from an article by Eliezer Whartman in the Jerusalem Post. Eliezer Whartman has led her to believe that, in the "Who Is A Jew" question, she and her family have been illegitimized and
disenfranchised as Jews, that her children are considered "bastards." and that her Jewish identity is now in question. What a terrible perversion of the truth, and what a horrible slander this is. EUezer Whartman s outrageous interpretation of "Mi Hu Yehudi" which led her to these conclusions, requires immediate correction. Carol Katzman needs to be assured that her children are not bastards and that she need not "be panicked" any longer over this matter. Carol Katzman needs to be assured also that it is categorically not true that members of her family are not recognized as Jews. Carol Katzman needs to be assured further that she has not been disenfranchised as Jew and that her Jewish identify remains unsullied. Eliezer Whartman's statements in all these matters are utterly false and are the cause of unnecessary pain and anguish for Carol Katzman and many others like her. Carol Katzman needs especially to be assured that every Jew, even one farthest removed from Jewish identity and commitment, is a Jew, as Jewish as the most distinguished rabbi or Talmudic scholar. Ail Jews, regardiess of ainiiation, belief, or conduct, are equally Jewiah. There are no ifs, ands or buts, about this statement. It is a basic definition of Jewishness, universally acknowledged, without exception and without qualification. Unnecessary agony and distress has been caused to Carol Katzman by Eliezer Whartman's statements. I hope her concerns will now be somewhat put to rest, so that she, and all of us, can get on with more pressing matters that face our people.
Bus victim By Henry Stern
Next meeting, Jan. 3, 1989. At the Dec 20 eariy birds. Norm Komey discussed Israel and the PLO. Perhaps, since our roieeting, things have changed. As of this meeting, Arafat's ploy has entrapped Israel. America's allies have blundered into his lies. Israel is surrounded by over one-hundred-million enemy Arabs, but the American news media overlooks this fact, in as much ^ the PLO charter calls for destruction of Israel. .Norm Wohlner suggests we all read the book, "Dhimmi, " by a Jewish woman who gleaned information from British records. We will await the new Bush administration to de-
termine if Israel will be cut off from us and our allies. Israel caruiot afford to lose one war. One war will destroy them if they lose it. To lunch, Motzi by Keith Peltz, Benschen by Norm Wohlner and President Sam Rosenstein thanked our servers and asked us to stand in memoriam for our brother Bernie Goldatrom. Norm Wohlner told us no members are hospitalized at this time. Guest speaker Ralph Nogg was one of the top trucking executives in America. He gave us an interesting discourse on trucking, including its history and anecdotes on his own involvement when be was in the New York area. He spoke on regulatioos and deregulations and their ef-
feet on the industry. Although the trucking industry was controlled by others, there -were some Jewish men involved in the business. How Ralph bucked the Eastern bunch is something else. Welcome back Treasurer Irv Forbes. ITALY URGES NEGOTIATIONS ROME (JTA) - As Palestine Liberation Organization chief Yasir Arafat prepares to meet with Italian heads of government, Italy's President Francesco Cpssiga has come out iti lavor of the PLO, saying he believes the Palestinian peace overtures are genuine and it is now up to Israel to respond in kind.
By Gil Sedan JERUSALEM (JTA) David Delarosa, a 19-yearold soldier who tried vainly to rescue a woman and children from a fu^bombed bus near Jericho Oct. 30, died in London. He had sustained serious injiuies to his heart and lungs from smoke inhalation. Only a heart and lung transplant might have saved his life, and he was flown to London for that purpose. He succumbed while waiting for a donor. He was the fourth victim of what was easily the worst terrorist act this year. The Egged bus became a flaming pyre after it was halted by a road barricade outside Jericho in the West Bank and attacked with a Molotov cocktail. Rachel Weiss, 26, of Tiberias, and her children, Netanel, three, Rafael, two, and Ephraim, 10 months, died- in the smoke and flames.

By Hugh Orgel TEL AVIV (JTA)-Koor Industries, the giant Histadrut-owned conglomerate, was given a reprieve from bankruptcy. District court Judge Eliyahu Winograd allowed Koor another month to reach agreements with its many creditors at home and abroad. Until the court reconNvenes on Jan. 22, "Koor will be able to continue its nor-
mal activities, as if no liquidation requests were filed against it," Winograd stated. The judge made clear, however, that whatever happens, Koor will not be allowed to go under because it is too important to the Israeli economy. The industrial and commercial complex, with its many subsidiaries, is the largest single employer in the country.

It's here again—the last of a month and with it, the last of a year. We always say the same thing: "Can you believe it?" Well, whether you can or not, the last 12 months are just about past history. There's a new yetu- to look forward to and who knows what that will bring. Is it time to do the annual retrospective? Do we talk of the good things and the not-so-good things recently transpired? We do if we're human. We remember to be grateful for any new arrivals in the family, for recovery from any bad stuff, for the fact that we're still in charge of ourselves and that kind of thing. We try not to complain too much and to remember that just when we think something can't get worse, well never mind. Let's don't even say it. Instead, let's try to remember that no matter what problems or worries must be included in the recipe for 1988, a simcha now and then helps to offset the not-so-good. And let's be smart enough to recognize a simcha when we have it. For example, a wedding is a simcha, but so is a family' reimion, at least in my list of definitions. And being present and among the celebrants at birthday time shoiild also be counted as a simcha. When greatgrandparents can enjoy the company of the youngest members of the clan who traveled a long distance to see them, that's a simcha. You don't think so. Talk to the Bobie and Zada—they'll straighten you out. If you take notice, there were lots of wonderful events in the past year. Be sure to count those get-togethers when sisters and brothers exchange memories^ those car rides in the country on a day when Mother Nature has outdone herself to paint an especially pretty picture; maybe something as simple as a good visit with somebody near and dear over a quiet cup of coffee. Surely these are all gifts for which we need to be grateful. These little day by day events are the threads of life's fabric. Maybe, just maybe, at the end of December, when we're about to start on a new calendar, instead of extending all those wishes for the future, we ought to say a shechecheyanu. We ought to show some gratitude for what's already transpired. To me that benediction is very special because it's said only on special occasions. The translation of the Shechecheyanu says: "Blessed art Thou 0 Lord our God, King of the Universe, who has kept us ahve to this time. " See what 1 mean? Well. 1 'm still going to wish my friends all a Happy New Year. I 'm going to hope that good health comes to all 1 care about, and that nice things are part of the year for us all. But I'm glad about having made it to this day and glad you did, too. And I will also hope that everybody manages to have such joyous events during the coming year that there's reason to recite the shechecheyanu often. Happy 1989 everyone!
