trip an unforgettable experifflice. At no time did we feel that we were followed or were prevented from going anjrwhere. The workshop participants were very impressed with the achievements of the scientists at the Academy of Sciences and their positive attitude to higher education.. We were also impressed by their care of their historical buildings and art treasures. On the other hand, we were amazed to see the average person stand in line for all the basic necessities which we take for granted. The red tape in everyday life is a major contributor to wasted manpower. While the situation of the Jews of the Soviet Union had improved somewhat lately, and one gets different answers from different<people. It was sad to see how centuries of Jewish culture was evaporating before one's eyes. There is not much we c»n do to elevate the condition of _ the Jews in the lUSSR and eliminate anti-Semitism altogether, but we have to help the younger generation who want to leave the country do just that. For if we don't help them, these young people will assimilate and disappear in the Soviet Union within a generation.
To the EditoR In the hectic days foUowing Kristallnacht (Nov.9-10, 1938), almost 10,000 children were sent out of Germany by their worried parents. These children were brought to Great Britabi in an operation that came to be known as the "Kindertransporte." Now, 50 years later, a committee has been formed to trace all sxu-viving members of the Kindertransporte and their descendents with the goal of participating in a giant reunion sometimein 1989. The reunion will be a commemorative event in memory of the childrens' families who died during the dark years of the Holocaust and an expression of gratitude to men and women, both Jews and non-Jews, who helped and enabled the children to make a new life. If you were one of the children involved in the Kindertransporte or know of someone who was, or even if you were one of those who helped-make this lifesaving operation possible, the committee would like to hear from you.

Tu Bishvat
By Rabbi Mendel Katzman Tu Bishvat, the new year for trees is the day in which the "fate" of the plant world is determined by G-d similar to the way mankind is judged and inscribed on Rosh Hashanah. G-d decrees which trees will be fruitful, to What extent the plants will grow and blossom, and whu:h of them will wither and die. In the land of Israel by this time of year, the majority of the raiay season has passed (the fructifying rain), the sap haa risen in the trees and the fruit begins to fonn. Jews celebrate this hcdiday by eatnig variety of fruits. Amongst our S^hardic brethren there are more elaborate cusUxns including Btu4y throughout the night. They enhance the joyous baming aeaaions by obtaining every possible type of fruit Bafore and after the eating of each kind of fruit, they redte selected paasagea gathcsred from the Scripture and Sohor. They also sing special prayers and songs. Every Jewish holiday or experience is not merely symbolic but rather an opportunity for introepection and contemplation on the meaning of its customs and formalities. As I prepare to ceMvata the first birthday of my daughter Bataheva on Tu Biahvat, I have no difficulty understanding and feding tha joy of this unique holiday.

eo-Nazi computer games in Germany
By David Kantor BONN (JTA) -^NeoNazis have found a new outlet: computerized games with anti-Semitic or racist overtones that feature forbidden Nazi symbols and propaganda. BPS, a government office that monitors material considered unsuitable for German youth, warned that the games are proliferating and have become popular among an increasing numbers of youngsters. The games have names such as "Clean Germany," "The Nazi" and "AntiTurkish Test." Turks, who came here mainly as guest
laborers, are the largest national minority in the Federal Republic and are currently the target of virulent xenophobia. According to BPS, many of the computer programs include passages from Hitler's speeches and feature Nazi symbols, which are banned. The producers of these programs use models from North America altered to suit their own ideas. One game asks the player, "Should your SS men persecute Jews? (Y/N)." In another, players are asked to choose among several concentration camps to send their victims.

This week the Omaha Committee for Soviet Jewry suggests Omahans write to Naum Muchiiik, 29, who was imprisoned because of his desire to emigrate to Israel. He first appUed for an exit visa in 1979 but was refused without cause. Subsequently, he could neither continue his education nor find employment. For more than seven years, he remained separated from his parents and brother who live in Beersheva, Israel. In May, 1986, Naum was arrested on charges of "parasitism" and sentenced to two years in labor camp. Naum's mother appealed to President Reagan saying that the reason of his refusal was never given officially, but officials of the city OVIR hinted that the refusal was a consequence of her son's military service, even though this service was only one year and was
JCC theatre By Joni Wolf JCC theatre committee chairman "Theatre at the J," the recently revived theatre program at the Jewish Community Center, has received two grants from the Omaha Metro Arts Council's Solo Artists Program. The grants will partially fund two artists' residencies for the coming theatre year, according to arts council program director Shaun James. The Theatre Department will receive $1,805 for set and lighting designer Tiro Place and $1,986 for music director Kate Schrader, said James. Mr. Place will be designing and master-building the theatre's two upcoming productions, "Big Al" and "A ... My Name is Alice," said JCC theatre director Andy Stevenson. Ms. ^hrader will be musical director for "A . .. My Name is Alice." "We are extremely grateful to get assistance from Metro Arts to hire such high-caliber people," said Mr. Stevenson.
