U.S. won't rush By David Friedman WASHINGTON (JTA)President Bush said he will not act precipitously in the Middle East just to match the current visit to the region by Soviet Foreign Min, ister Eduard Shevardnadze. "I don't want to be rushing out because Mr. Shevardnadze went to the Middle East," Bush said at a White House news conference. "I'd like to have for 'the first step we take of that ^nature to be a prudent step."

Secretary of State James Baker during his visit to Europe rejected the urging of the West Europeans that he go to the Middle East as soon as possible. Bush insisted that his policy in the region is clear and was enunciated during the presidential campaign last year. This policy is "to encourage discussions between King Hussein (of Jordan) and the laraelis and to build on the progreaa that has been made already," the preakleot explained. — CLIP AND SAVE-

The piece will be performed at the JCC spring dance concert in May. Additional local performances are being planned. Baaed in New York, Ms. Cohen has regularly created works for major professional dance companies around the world including the Boston Ballet, Alvin Alley Repertory Ensemble, North Carolina Dance Theatre, Israel's Batsheva and Kibbutz Dance Companies and Munich Tanzeoprojekt, according to Cheryl KapellLemer, JCC dance director.

The JCC's Young Dancers Workshop is a performing group comprised of 1016 young dancers between the ages of 10-17 from the JCC's dance program which currently has 365 enrollmmta. "Thia is not the first time that workshop students have worked with a highly

Stopping stone-throwing and other violence altogether is "theoretically a beautiful idea," he told British mipporters of Mapam, the United Workers Party of Israel. But he said the Israeli authorities have taken advantage of non-violent Poleatinion protests to make arrests and seal off villages.

Italy adopts legislation By Rnth E. Gmber ROME (JTA)-TheItalian Senate has adopted a sweeping law that guarantees religious freedom for Jews and sets out the rules for relations between the government and the Jewish community. The Senate, in an overwhelming vote, replaced earlier legislation that had governed relations between the state and the Jewish community dating back to the Fascist era of the early 1930s. The new laws, seen as long overdue in this Catholic country, were unanimously approved by the Chamber of Deputies in January. The Senate vote was nearly unanimous—there was one abstention. Senate President Giovanni Spado-

lini called the legislation "a significant measure that consolidates the republican tradition of reciprocal respect among diverse religious faiths." He said this in contradistinction to developments' "elsewhere in the world" that call for "an intransigent and violent fundamentalism." The legislation, which will be enact«id into practice over the next two years, is embodied in 34 articles. It stems &t>m an agreement signed two years ago by the government and the Jewish community here. Generally, the legislation codifies "the right to freely profess and practice the Jewish religion, individually and,in groups, to publicize it and to exercise its cult and rites."

Israel, Solomons establish relations By Cathrine Oerson JERUSALEM (JTA) Israel and the Solomon Islands in the Pacific Ocean established diplomatic relations for the first time, the Israeli Foreign Ministry announced.

SanU Isabel, San Cristobal, Choiseul, New Georgia,

and numerous smaller islands. In 'another, quasidiplomatic development, Hungary's minister of communications, transport and construction arrived in Israel to sign an air traffic agreement. According to the agreement, Israel's national El Al Airlines and Hungary's national Maiek Airlines will start regular weekly flights between Tel Aviv and Budapest in March, Israeli officials said. ELECTED CHAIRMAN WASHINGTON (JTA) Arden Shenker has been elected chairman of the Notional Jewish Community Relations Adviaoiy CoundL He succeeds Michael Pelsvin.

Current options for Mideast peace dismissed in new AJCongress study

Generation to generation There's a joke that goes something like this: If there were only two Jews on a desert island, why did they have three synagogues? And the answer: so they would have one not to go tol To most of us, the construction, maintenance, utility, and survival of our synagogues is no laughing matter. When we were children, our synagogues were there—for us and our families. Our grandparents and great-grandparents had made the necessary financial sacrifices to make certain that synagogue continuity would be a reality in our day. And so it has been. Generations of Jews providing for the future and ultimately we became the future and the recipients of their foresight and dedication. Now, it is our turn. As adults, we have the opportunity to prepare for the Jewish children of the future in Omaha and elsewhere. This may be more of a challenge today than it was in past years — because of changing demographics and the laws of economics. As a youngster, I remember 36-cent haircuts, fiven^nt ice cream cones, and two-cents plain. I don't have to tell you that today we live in the world of $15,000 cars, $100,000 homes, and $80,000 tuition bills. The new laws of economics have dictated that wives must work to help pay the bills and that children must be afforded day care. The aged no longer reside with their children and must be concerned about astronomical costs for health care and catastrophic illness. Those two men on the desert island apparently didn't have to concern themselves with the laws of economics. But, that was a joke. You and I must concern ourselves with dollars. We must learn to prioritize and when that list is dratra, imagine all the generations that preceded you in the Jewish rdigioa This exerdse can be overwhelming to the mind, and no doubt, you will conclude that your synagogue is your responsibility—no, your opportunity—to add links to .the chain representing thousands of years of Jewish history.

Superstars For the most part, I believe that entertainers are vastly overpaid for the contributions they allegedly make to society. Thus, you can see why I wasn't too thrilled to take in the John Denver show this week at Ak-Sar-Ben. Because of my lack of interest and knowledge of superstar singers, I had lumped him in the class of shrieker with portable sound-blasters, sort of the heavy-metal, rock and roll type. Well, I was wrong. He has a gentle, kind voice and thousands of people had no difficulty at all in understanding his words and message. He sang of love and spoke of peace. His ccMicems for the enviroiunent and life were expressed with conviction and tenderness. Mr. Denver projected the skill of an entertainer with the wisdom and clarity of his personal bdiefs. Omaha is a better place as a result of his visit.

By Aodrew Silow Carroll NEW YORK (JTA) - A major Israeli think tank has rejected nearly all the options for settlement of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict ciurently being considered in Israel—from the left wing's call for a Palestinian state to the far right's proposal for complete annexation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. In their place, the Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies of Tel Aviv University has proposed an extended "confidencebuilding proces8"—to last as long as 10 to 16 years—during which Israel would not reject the eventual creation of a Palestinian state, nor the Palestinians demand the state as inevitable! The center's conclusions on six aptianB for peace, but not its own proposal, are the results of a nearly yearlong feaaibility study sponsored by the American Jewish Congress. AJCongress is calling the 235-page study, "The West Bank and Gaza: Israel's Options for Peace," the most comprehensive and up-to-date of its kind since the Six-Day War. The Jaffee Center, founded in 1977 and directed by reserve Maj. Gen. Aharon Yariv, has gained a reputation for providing non-partisan research grounded in strategic and demographic reality. Its staff indudea military strategists, political scientists and economists. The center does not have the influence with the current Israeli government that, say, conservative ideologues at the Heritage Foundation once had with the Reagan administration. In addition, AJCongress lost much of its leverage with Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir aft^ it issued a policy statement in September 1987 urging Israel to end its n^ over the 1.5 million Palestinians in the administered territories. The organization remained critical of Israeli policy during the early stages of the Palestinian uprising. Not'Prescriptive' Nonetheless, AJCongress hopes the study, which lists the more mainstream Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith as a co-sponsor, will have to be taken into account in all future discussion of the Middle East. "The study is intended to be descriptive, rather than prescriptive," said Philip Baum, associate executive director of AJCongress. "The purpose was not to promote a point of view, but to present a serious examination of all scenarios available. This should provide a common basis for common discourse on the peace process." The study finds that of six main options currently on the IsraeU public agenda, all contain eJonents malring them unacceptable to the Israelis, the Palestinians or both. Maintaining the status quo, for instance—a course currently being pursued by the Israeli government as "the least of all evils," according to the study-is clearly untenable. ' By continuing its rule over the territories, Israel and its army would continue "to e^joy the strategic depth provided by the West Bank." The coets, however, would include the growing radicalization of the Palestinian Arabs, growing d(Hneetk disctmtent and increased strains in U.S.-l8rael relations. But the remaining five (^tions—divided between two "unilateral" and three "compromise" measures—seem equally unpromioing. Each flounders either on Israel's concern for its militaiy aecurity or the Paleetinians' unflagging deoire for complete independanoe. A unilateral annwxatinn of the tarritoriee-official poUcy of the Tehiya and Moledet parties—"woukl begin a spiral toward war," according to the study. In wder tor Israel

to retain its Jewish character, annexation would mean either completely denying Palestinians political rights or "transferring" them to neighboring Arab states. Plans rejected Either move would create a violent Palestinian reaction and possibly leiad to war with other Arab nations. In additl<m, "the U.S. wouU disassociate from Israel," and American Jewry "would be increasingly alienated." The second unilat«'al (^tion examined is an Israeli withd|rawal from most of the Gaza Strip—in essence, the creation of a Palestinian "mini-state" behind a fenced andmined Ixn-dcrTBy rdinquishing reeponaibility for a vast and growing Arab pi^ulation, the study argues, the option would be acceptable to the Israeli majority, induding Arab citizens. However, the Gaza mini-state, hostile and destitute, would owe Israd nothing in return for its independence, and "could turn into a Lebanese-style base for terrorism and chooa." Among the compromise sdutions are the two hdd by Israd's rivd political blocs, Likud and Labor. Shamir's Likud bloc has called for a narrow autonomy set-up for Pdestinians. Grounded in the Camp David accordB, this option would turn all local matters over to an autcmomous Arab administration. Whether that autonomy would extend to contrd over the land itsdf qidls the difference between "narrow" and "deep" autonomy optioos. But Palestinians would reject dtho' <9tion unless it was seen as an interim arrangement leading to an ind^>endent Palestinian state, the study says. Unless autonomy talks induded that commitment from the Israelis, they "most likdy would ndther encourage better Arab-Israd relations nor reduce friction and violence." The Palestinians would most likdy also reject the Labor Party's long^herished "Jordanian option"—that is, a Jordonian-Paleetinian federaticHi in which responsibility fw the territories' defense, intemd security and foreign aflfairs rests in Amman. State diemioaed Jordan, too, has grown cool toward ay Ian that threatens the sovereignty of its king: Hussein is a Hashemite Arab, not a Palestinian, and he is loathe to bring into his kingdom a population of 1.5 million Pdestinians. Israd, too, should think twice, suggests the study, before setting the stage far a huge, Palestinian successw state to the east. Finally, the study dismisses a Paleetinian state, "virtually the only choice of Paleetinians," because of the oppodtion of most Israelis and the real threat of Paleetinian aspirations for a "Greater Pdestine." "Certainly without extendve trandtion stages to test Paleetinian intentions," the study concludes, "Palestinian statehood is potentially extremely risky, from a security standpoint, and is as dangerous for the fabric of Israeli society 08 is annexation." A test of Paleetinian intentions, and Israd's vHllingness to offer conditiims that the Pdeetinians can meet, are the substance of the center's independent recommendations "toward a sotutitm." The recommendations ore contained in a booklet oeparate from the AJCongresa-spoosored atudy. According to the recommendations, Isradis and Palestinians must embark on a process of "prolcnged mutud confidmo^building.'' The Paleetinians would have to agree to cease terrorism and violmce in the territoriea, and give up hope of returning Palestinian refugees to reaidancee hukie Israel Israel, in turn, "would have to agree to offer genuine, comprehendve autonomy for the West Bonk and Gaza, forego its control of moat state lands in the territoriea" and cease building any new Jewish settlements in the territories. ^H RecognltioB uged ^1 If those conditi<HU were maintained for as long as 10 to 15 years, negotiatkns coaU begin between Israd and Poleetiniana toward a final peace aettlement. The study chaita an important role for tha United SUtee in this "confidence-building procsea." Working with "asaodated extemd powara," tha United SUtes would have to pledge to auppwt dtlMr dda ahouM the other not live up to its terma of the agreement. Rpr the immadiata future, the study group insista that "Israd had best inveet condderable effort in searching tor limited measures—probably of a unilaterd variety—that hold out the proepect of even olightly alleviating the praesuree and dan^ira inherent in Uie status quo." In addition. larad moat begin to find ways to recognize the Paleatine LiberatkBi Orgaaiutioo aa an "authoritative repreeentative" of the Paleetinians. "As k»g aa tha PLO SMintahia the modsrate course it developed in late 1988," tha itudy aaya, "an laradi policy that rijects unconditionally fny dialogue with it dooa not sKiearto be austainable over time."

Nevertheless, approximately 76 Old Timers wended their way to the " J" for a gathering punctuated by pditics, philosophy, religion and a meal ddightfully pleasing to the palate. liie pditical phase was monitored by Charlie Fellman at the Early Bird disr cussion session. Charlie chose to expound on Omaha's mayoral race and an .evaluati<Mi of each of the six candidates' qualifications. The luncheon featured short ribs, a mecbaieh Old Timers are long on praise, it being one of the favorite dishes among Mother Mollie Defanan's menus. Abe Gendkr d^vered the hamotzi with an added touch of sprinkling a few granules of salt on the bread to truly make it an abundant blessing.

Casino ownerfined $1.5M for pro-Hitler activities By

Dayuia

NEW YORK (JTA)-In a case that has attnctad nationwide attentioo, the Nevada Gaming Commission has fined Imperial Palace Hotel and Casino owner Ralph Engdstad tl.6 million, but declined to revoke his gaming license in connection wiUi his i»ivate oirflection of Nazi memmabilia and birthday cdebrati«u in honor of the Nazi leader, Adolf Hitler. The Las Vegas businessman was accused of harming the image of Las Vegas and the state of Nevada through his secret maintenance of an artifacts room, his sponsorship of two elaborate parties for employees to honor Hitler's birthday and the alleged printing of bumper stickers claiming "Hitler Was Right." The Nevada Gaming Control Board had filed the complaint with its parent commission, requesting a $400,000 fine and suspension of Engelstad's liccoise. The commission exonerated Engelstad on other charges of an unrelated matt ter, concerning the alleged destruction of thousands of hotel security and personnel records in order to obstruct a dvil lawsuit. Engelstad consistently has denied destroying the documents or

printing the bumper stickers in tiueatiaa. Neither Engaiatad nor his Bttomty, GecrgaDiekerafln, returned phone calls to thenoffice. Regardleas of the commission's decision. Norm Kaufman, executive director of the Jewish Federation in Las Vegas, reported that the Community Relations and Executive Committee has vowed that "we won't visit his hotel," as Engelstad has been "more than insensitive. Our committee can't speak for others, but as far as we are concerned, we will not be visiting his hotel" Since the eruption of the controversy last September, Engelstad has issued two puUic statttnents apologizing for the Hitler parties as "insensitive" and in "poor taste," and has described his gathering of Nazi artifacts as a legitimate financial outlet for his interest as a collector of historical items. The Imperial Palace ia renowned for its displays of valuable, antique automobiles that include Hitler's 1939 Grosser Mercedes TtdK parade car. Located along Las Vegas Boulevard in the heart of the casino resort district, the hotel boasts 2,700 rooms and employs over 2,000 workers.

Paraahat P'knde Some odds and enda Every now and then I realize that there has been an accumulation of modest questions that come to me, as I go about the community, that might be of interest to others besides the questioners. Here is an example: One person wanted to know about the use of "B.C.E." and "C.E." Actually the question came up when I mildly suggested that Jews shouldn't use the term "Christ" when they are talking about Jesus of Nazareth. Name and town are certainly proper to use; but title is something else, and "Christ" is a title. "Christ" is an English transliteration of the Greek word "Christos," which is a translation of the Hebrew word "mashiah." "Mashiah," transliterated to English becomes "Messiah." Thus "Christ" and "Messiah" both are used in English in place of the Hebrew and Greek. The meaning of these two words is "anointed," that is. one who is anointed as king. Consequently, anyone who calls Jesus "Christ," is acknowledging him as a King, King of the Jews. Jews make no such affirmation, and therefore should not use the title, but only the name. Once that is clear, it becomes apparent that Jews should not use "B.C." and "A.D." "B.C." means before Christ—and since Jews do not make this theological affirmation of Jesus's MeesLahship, they use instead the term "B.C.E.," which means "Before the Christian Era" or "Before the Common Era," that is, in the usual way of referring to time. Similarly, "A.D." stands for "Anno Domini," meaning "In the Year of the Lord.' When Christisiis say that, they mean in the 3fear since the birth of Jesus, whom thay call Lord. Since we do not, we use "C.E.." which means such and such a year of the Common Era, the usual way of reckoning Inddantally, many Christiana, particularly whwe thqr wiah to make it dear that in a particular lituatim, or in • Mitkular easay or book, tkar intend |to make no thaoiodcal statement, also use B.C.E. and C.E. Thus a book I uaa in teaching the Hebrew Scriptutes, written by a Chriatian for university

classes, regularly uses B.C.E. and C.E., and explains these usages in a glossary. Christian students are initially puzzled, but quickly understand the usage—and the reason for it. Oddly enough, a certain Hebrew book I use with some frequency, would be using "A.D.," if the book were translated into Engliahl The authtM- insists that the Roman destruction of the Temple in 70 C.E., accompanied by mass murder of the population of IsraU and the selling of large numb(g« of young Jews as slavee in Roman slave-markets, is a pivotal date, indeed the pivotal date in post-Biblical Judaism. Therefore he dates all years from the deetruction. Thus 1989 would be 1919 in his counting, 1919 years after 70. What he calls "share hahurban." would have to translate into Eng' lish as "A.D.," "After the Destruction."

Synagogue architecture Marty Shukert will give an illustrated lecture on "The history of synagogue architecture in the United SUtes" at the March 14 hmcheon meeting of Beth El Women's League. According to Mr. Shukert, his slide presentation is designed "to show how synagogue architecture has evolved and thus create an appreciation for the changes that have taken place." Mr. Shukwt added that he hopes that by explaining the reasons for architectural changea, "I win begin to set the rtage for what will eventually become the plan for Beth El's future home." The luncheon will take place at noon in the Beth El social hall and will cost t6 per person. Reservations may he made with Lois Bemstitn, 496-2607; Judi Lemer, 3304940; Rose Rofiman, 3304314.

Negev, stqiped short of describing the Paleatinian portion of the union aa an independent state. He acknowledged that the Israeli government is adamantly opposed to such a state, and that faia plan sought the "common denominator" between the conflicting Jewish and Arab positions. He also denied that his plan is merely a restatement of current proposals—by Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin and others—for limited Palestinian autonomy in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Tekoah declined to say whether he had discussed the |dan with Isradi leaders, who have had no shortage of insidors and outsiders offering their proposals for peace.

Jewish vote helps P unseat incumbent By Todd Winer CHICAGO (JTA) ' Chicago's Jewish community, whoee votes were instrumental in electing the city's first black mayor, played an important role in helping make Chicago the first dty to unseat a sitting black mayor with a white challenger. Richard Daley, son and namesake of the late political boss, received more than 83 percent of the Jewish vote in the Democratic primary, according to exit : polls, allowing him to easily defeat Acting Mayor Eugene Sawyer. It wa& the Jewish vote that had been the margin of victory for Harold Waamngton in 1983, when he becaaie Clucago's first black m«yor. This time again, ;Chicagoans voted oaiMtly along racial hnea, the m^or dif(arenc«s coatributing to Sawyer's defeat being a lower turnout in the black community and a defection of Jewish votes away from the black candidate.

All Israel Bonds buyers, according to David Hermelin, the organization's international campaign chairman, will be asked to purchase an additional Israel Bond above their regular purchases, to provide funds for Israel's Development Budget, which would increase employment oppcr tunities for new immigrants.

Not newspapers—we've finally learned there's no point in trying to go through those. And not even the mail. That just takes so long and no longw. After all, how much time can you take to separate stuff into the three categories: 1. The wastebaaket; 2. Bills to be pakk 3. Stuff that needs attention or decision. ntat's all easy. Time consuming but easy. The chore that I find almost impossible to overcome is reading the magazines that pile up on me while I'm away. The weekly issues seem to multiply if I don't catch them as soon as they're hatched, one at a time. And my mazel, when I'm really behind on those, the monthly issues suddenly arrive. By now I'm convinced that while I'm out of town the maO carrier arrives in a semi with two helpers and unloads everything for us. It shouldn't be an insurmountable problon and wouldn't be if all I had to do was sit down and do nothing but read for maybe four or five days without intoruption. But that ian't the way my routine works. I'm gone all day and when it's evening I find I'm sometimes at my desk with stuff that needs my attention. I even, on occasion, watch something on the electronic box. And then there's the phone and people who know can find me at night Tbib truth is, th«« are more n^g»nni>^ than there are hours in which to read them. And on top of that, two books I ordered some time ago just arrived and I'm dying to get to thaflL So that's the only complaint I have with going out of town for a while.

Sometimes you just have to be a graceful kner and toss out the partly-read issue because you suddenly realize if you live to be 109, there isn't time to digest it all.

Views and Reviews

The ''kashering" of a literary turkey By Jotqih Cohen Jewiah professors of En^ lish and modem foreign languages from all over America, plus a number of their counterparts from Israel, were highly visible at the recently concluded annual convention of the Modem Language Association of America, convened this year in New Orleans at the Hilt<Hi and Marriott Hotels. Once upon a time you found nary a (me attending, and a smaller number than that presenting papers, and a still smaller number—you get the idea—presenting papers on Jewish authors and books. Now the Jewish membership and presence at the meetings is substantial In hardly more than a handful of years a new dimension hais been added to the entire proceedings. While you can't exactly describe Jewish participation in the convention's activities as equivalent to "stompin at the Savoy," it's not like sitting around watching a frozen turkey thaw out, either. iThe Modem Language Association of America, familiarly known as the MLA to its memb^s, was a frozen turkey for a long time. It started out in 1883 as a staid academic gentleman's club composed of a small number of humanities

scholars on whose shouUers rested the reqtonsibility for preserving the linguistic and literary heritage of western Europe, principally that of Shakespeare's "seepter'd isle." Its task was to infuse into an American college elite the virtues of the literary arts of the mother tongues. The scholars who were members ran a tight ship. Though some changes occurred over the years, the MLA was still staid and austere at the time I first began attending meetings in the middle 19Ms. The exchange of literary ideas and the scrutinizing of young candidates for poeitions was undertaken with deadly seriousness. Reputations could be made or broken in the debates that followed presentations. Few women—either spouses or colleagues—were visible, drinking was done in private, and the worst excess seemed to have been all-night poker games. Discrimination was not an issue; yet it was real and pervasive. The discriminatory exclusion of Jews from teaching posts in the humanities, and, more particularly, &t>m appointments in English departments from the late nineteenth century until after the end of world War

Communities organize to pursue culture to By Edwin EjrtoB PARIS(JTA) - Frenchqwiaking Jewish oHnmnnitiea from a dozen countries created on association to jointly promote Judaism and French culture. The new body, organized under the auspices of the World Jewiah Ooagreas, will also serve as a link between the various comiaiinities in Algeria, Belgium, Canada, Israel, Luxembourg, Spain, Switzeriand, Morocco, Porptugal, Potyneaia and Zaire. The dekgates were hooted by French Senator Michel Dreyfus-Schmidt, vice preaitdent of the WJC, who chaired the twcxiay meeting. The organization is being pramot«d and akied by .the French Cooncfl for the Phnotion of the French Langnage, an official body headed by President n«D-

cois Mitterrand. The new association will also be invited to take part in the forthcoming meeting of the beads of Frenchspeaking countries scheduled to meet in May in Dakar, Senegal, according to the French delegate to the new Jewish group. It is believed that this indirect backing by the French government will enable the Algerian Jewish community to take port in the work of the asMdation. Hie Algerian Jewish ccmmunity, which ia rarely seen or heard from these days, was lepwwiited at the Paris conclave by Roger Said. He said there are only about 250 Jews remaining in Algeria, out of the once 80,000strong Jewish community that existed until Algeria's independenca from France.

When Lionel Trilling got his appointment at Columbia—he was one of the first Jews in modem times to get a post in an English Department—he was pointedly told not to bring any of his coreligionists around. Saul Bellow tiuned to graduate study in anthropology because he was given to understand no appointment in English woukl be forthcoming. Louis Untermeyer could not get a job teaching English when his Ph.D. was awarded. Dan A. Oren'a Joining the Qab: A Histary of Jews and Yale. (1986) details the blatant anti-Semitiam in the En^h Dq>artment of that Ivy League bastion. Except for some of the schools in New York City, CCNY and Brooklyn College, the situation at Yale represented the status quo everywhere. The big change came during the dvil rights turbulence qf the 1960s. The doors were literally forced open. Institutional academic organizations like the MLA were politicized and democratized. Women, Blacks, Jews, Chicanos, gays and other excluded minority groups exerted sufficient pressure to win equal rights. To its credit, the MLA has gone beyond the pressures to open up its opportunities to everyone with intellectual merit. Now its membership has grown to more than 25,000 professors of whom slightly more than half attend the annual conventions. Today, Jewish scholars in literature and language organize and present their own programs or read papers on Jewish authon and themes on the large number of annually scheduled standing programs. Increaaingity, noojewiah scholars report m these sessiona on thdr own research into Jewiah writers and works. SpedficaUy Jewish sections or subject matter this year included "History, Historiography, snd Histor kal Event in Jewish American Literature," "CanetH in Context," "Secular and Sacred Literature of the Sephordic Diaq>ora aftar 1492." "The Uses of Yiddioh in Recent American Fktion: Roth, Ozick and BeUow," "Heinrich Heine and Modamism," "Tha O^ and Yiddish," "Contam •»,

porary Literary Theory and Traditional Jewish Textuality," "French Writing About Jews," "Auschwitz in Literature and Film," "The Jew aa Poet, the Poet as Jew," and "AntiSemitism through Misogyny: Weininger in the European Context." In each session, three to four papers were presented on each of the topics. Several of these sessions were sponsored by the American Association of Professors of Yiddish. A couple of sections discussed the literature and characterization of women in the Hebrew Bible. Other "non-Jewish" sesgiotas inchided preeentations on Allen Ginsberg, "Jews in Brazilian Literature," Na. dine Gordimer, Karl Kraus, Kafka, Walter Benjamin and Woody Allen. Special sessions were devoted to Grace Paley and TiUte 01sen, both of whom attended the conference and presented readings of their works. It was, to say the least, a Jewish literary scholar's paradise. As New Years approached, the Convention came to its end. Scholarly discussions gave way, ironically, to their exact antitheses: impromptu pep sessions in the halls and lobbies of the hotels led by college cheerleaders whose schools had come to play football in the Sugar Bowl What a contrast! As the scholars left, the Hilton rapidly filled with the alunmi, the bands and the followers of the Florida State Seminoles in New Orleans to play the Auburn Tigers. There were, you ml^t say, "stompiD at the Savoy," but their sMiiiliigly mincDesa joya were nothing to the satiafaetkn I bad felt just before their arrival in observing the extant to which that old turicey, the MLA, had not only thawed out but had been "kosbo'ed" as wea

Conley urges BBYO to examine bias By MoRis BlaHae

City Council President Fred Conley told about 60 members of B'nai B'rith Youth Organizations that people should challenge thamaelves to understand why they are biaaed agahist those of different races or religions. Mr. Conley, a candidate for mayor at Omaha, was invited to address the group Tueedoy night at the Jewish Community Center and discuss black/Jewish rdotions, the BBYO announcement stated. In an opening statement, Mr. Conley suggested that hard times across the nation may have triggerd incidents of bias but that Omaha appears not to have fared badly. He said that his formula for dealing with bias is to be the best person that one can be snd excell as an individual "We must evaluate whoe we stand, consider why we have a bias and then deternone how to change one's attitude," he said. He toU the youth groups that they have a respoDailMlity also to read about the contributions made to America by aD Americans iyirliMting Blacks. Daring the question period, Mr. Conley pointed out that racial and raligfams tenskms in Omaha are "mbtimal" and that some incidents hi State government

mean that City offidab also should not tolerate such behavior on the port of dvic employees. He said also that Harold Washington's election to Mayor of Chicago was a . "miracle" and that his death caused uncertainty and a qilit in the Block community there. David Duke, said Mr. C<mley received a lot of media coverage as a Republican candidate, but that Mr. Duke hopefully will have little impact during his political career. On State Senator Ernie Chambers, Mr. Conley said that he knows him, but does not agree with everything that the senator does. "You should invite him here to t^ with you. He deals with a great number of issues and 1 'm sure he would accept your invitation."

The gourmet touch for Purim By Naomi Arbit jCtrrMt ut. •bwu TMipAb Atma, tacj MILWAUKEE-Purim is a joyous holiday celebrating the defeat of King Ahasuenis in the fifth centuiy. The entire atory of Purim is read from the Book of Esther in the synagogue on the eve and morning of the holiday. Parties, carnivals and the wearing of costumes by children all add to the festive celebration. The tradition of gift giving, called shalach

numot, ia an andeot custom of this holiday, and sweets are delivered to friends and relatives. Hamantashen is the traditional sweet pastry eaten at Purim. It is a three<»mered cookie filled with fruit or poppy seeds. A welcome gift, children and adults will enjoy it for dessert or as a snack. There are various types of Hamantashen dough to prepare and a choice of fillings which can be used in any of them.

HAMANTASHEN CooUe dough 3 cups flour 2 teaspoons baking powder dash of salt '/> cup sugar 'A pound butter or margarine at room temperature 3 eggs, beaten slightly 1 teaspoon vanilla In a large mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients. Cut in butter with a pastry blender, as for pie crust; mix until crumbly. Add eggs and vanilla; stir well. Gather dough into your lightly floured hands, shaping lightly as for a snowball. Roll out on a floured board about 1/8-inch thick. Cut into 2'/i- or 3-inch rounds. Place a rounded teaspoon of desired filling in the center; pinch the edges together tightly to form a closed triangle over the filling. Place on a greased cookie sheet; bake in a 350-degree oven for 20 minutes or until golden.

Rhetoric criticized NEW YORK-The American Jewish Congress condemned as "irresponsible rhetoric" recent statements made by both Rev. Jerry Falwell and Rev. Jerry leverage in attempting to have the community of Crestview, Florida, reject an out of court settlement concerning religion in the public schools. At the same time, the Jewish organization complimented the local school board for resisting pressure from fundamentalist groups and refusing to reverse the .agreement. The agreement between the OkaloBsa County School Board and the AJCongress, /epresenting the Berlin family of Creatview, Florida, centered around the fa-

mily'a complaint that their children. Max and Tammy, were subjected to a "Christian religious atmosphere" while attending Crestview High School. In particiilar the Berlin Family, who are Jewish, objected to public Christian invocations at school football games, religious baccalaureate ceremonies and the encouragement of students by faculty..to participate in Christian religious clubs. After a number of unresolved complaints by Max and Tammy's father. Master Sgt. Mark Berlin, an Air Force veteran with more than 20 years service, stationed at nearby Eglin Air Force Base, the family sought and received the help of the New York based American Jewish Congress.

No loot By Ruth E. Graber ROME (JTA) - Italian television, seeking high ratings and Nazi loot, emulated America's TV personality Geraldo Rivera by breaking open a cellar thought to contain Nazi paraphernalia. But like Rivera, who last year broke open "Al Capone's safe," in Chicago, Italian TV explorers for the program "Samarcanda" found nothing when the television lights came on but three playing cards, a buckle and a bone—presumably not human. Excavators digging into the walled-up cellar of a castle near the northern Italian town of Merano had hoped to find documents, counterfeit money or other relics left behind by the SS, who requisitioned Labers Castle in 1943.
