Publishers expelled By Yossi Lempkowicz BRUSSELS(JTA) Publishers of neo-Nazi, racist and anti-Semitic literature were expelled from the annual Brussels book fair for having disturbed the public mder. The dedsicm to close the controversial stand of Avalon Publishers House was made after a stormy debate on freedom of expression turned into an all-out scuffle between the publishers and left-wing protesters. The Avalon editors, who were expelled by police order, denounced what they called a "scandaknis blow to the fundamental notion of freedom of expression." A QKikesperaon for the pubUoiung house said in a television interview, "We are the only ones who cannot express ourselves, now that the whole world is reacting against the Rushdie affair." This was a refer eoce to the international firestorm over British author Salman Rushdie, whose "Satanic Verses" was declared heresy by Moslems throughout the world.

By Andrew SUow Carroll NEW YORK (JTA) - A leader in the fight to remove Israel's proposed "Who Is a Jew" amendment from the Israeli political agenda had a rare audience with one of its leading North American proponents, the Lubavitcher rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Schneerson. But in the few minutes alloted for remarks with the Hasidic leader, Shoshans Cardin, chairwoman of the Council of Jewish Federation's "Who Is a Jew" committee, avoided the controversial topic. Instead, Cardin and the rebbe focused on her other responsibilities as chairwoman of the National Conference on Soviet Jewry. Cardin said that prior to her meeting with the rebbe, she discussed the "Who Is a Jew" issue with Lubavitch representatives in New York and Baltimore, where she resides.

A love letter
©dlM(o)ff3an I By Morris Maline
t Passover issue (continued) Our Passover issue which featured babies who will become a bar or bat mitzvah in 2001 is now a matter of history in the Omaha Jewish community. From what we have heard, this special issue ranks among our best and the talk is that we must do something with our Jewish babies on a regular basis—perhaps an annual issue showing the babies of that year. At any rate, with all of the good things we've heard, we're pretty well satisfied with what we've been able to accomplish. But, not completely satisfied ... First, the reader must understand that publishing a special issue containing many thousands of words, scores of photographs and hundreds of advertisements, is not an easy task under the best of circumstances. Our special issues, however, proceed side-by-side with the weekly editions and it is only because of extremely high productivity on the part of staff, writers, salespeople, and assorted part-time helpers that the job gets done. The Omaha Jewish Press functions with one full-time employee, and 1 would dare to say that the paper this community enjoys stacks up very favorably with similar products in other Jewish communities. I guess this is a long way of saying that while we are proud of what we have been able to accomplish with this and our previous special issues, we are not completely satisfied. As one reader put it, "a little tain must fall" to chill the most outstanding of accomplishments. This means we made mistakes. Some of the material did not end up the way that we had envisioned and there were some obvious errors in content. Also, some babies were not included and even though we don't hold ourselves responsible for the omission, we do want the historical recoftl to be as complete and as accurate as possible. Thus, in this issue, we are publishing some columns, photos, and copy to complete our special Passover issue. We offer a blanket apology to any family who feels slighted as a result of our actions and hope that our next effort will be 100 per cent perfect.
By Jill Kuahner Belmont When I decided to write an article about my hopes and aspirations for my six-month-old daughter, Lindsay Rachel, I first thought, "Well, what do I want for her?" To which, of course, I answered, "Everything!" So through this "love letter" to my 21st-century Bat Mitzvah Baby and her sister (for my thoughts and hopes also apply to 2yi-year-okl Jessica Sarahl), I'll try to expand on what "everything" means. I guess the bottom line is that I want Lindsay to always be "comfortable in her own skin." I want her to look in the mirrtK- and like what she sees, both physically and emotionally. Being comfortable will allow her to be genuine; not needing to pretend she's something she's not or always wishing to be someone else. When she looks in that mirror, Mark and I want her to see herself as a Jewish girl who is comfortable with and proud of being Jewish, despite the pressure that can arise from being different from the majority. We want to teach her to understand and take pride in those differences. I think back on my own memories: warm, happy traditions and holiday celebrations with my family. I want Lindsay to have the same kinds of experiences and someday pass her memories on to her children. Dressing up for Purim, lighting the Shabbat candles and Hanukkah menwah, asking the Four Questions at the PassoverSeder, celebrating the High Holidays, looking wideeyed with awe and respect at the beautiful Torahs in the ark ... the traditioiis, the "inging, the family togetherness, the love ... these are all things I cherish and I want my daughter to have. Along with the celebratUMis, I also want Lindsay to know about our Jewish history: the triumphs, the persecution, the Holocaust, so that she will appreciabe our strengtli, our perseverance as Jews, and appreciate the privilege of leading services, reciting her Haftorah on the day of her Bat Mitzvah. I hope that tzedakah and doing mitzvot will be integral parts of Lindsay's character. I hope to raise her as« sensitive, compassionate person who will allow empathy, warmth and patience to guide her rather than judgmental intolerance. When I look at her in the mirror, I'd like to see someone who cares for others, who is kind and patient to elderly adults, generous to those less fortunate than she, and a sincere, loyal friend. I also hope that my daughter will be
Lindaay Rachel B«lmont aware and accepting of peqple of different races and religions and possess a curiosity about various cultures and backgrounds. I want Lindsay to become an independent tiiinkar, confident in her decision-making and enthuaiaatic in developing her own dreams and talents. I hope that she'll be willing to take risks deq>it« the possibility of faihire, for worse than faihire would be never knowing if she might have been pleased with her effort. Above all else, I want Lindsay Rachel to always know how very much slie is loved by her daddy and me. We will always love her for whatever kind of person she is; we will always be there for her. My dream for her is to be able to look in the mirrw and see a person who is leading a healthy, joytai, full life; a per son who is surrounded by loving family and frienda; and a person who is content with herself. If she can see all those things, then I will be able to look in the mirror and smile.

Health and family will always pull you through
Tkt foUmriag •t4Nry •piMWwi in th« PMMVW iaaw of theJewsbbJVMWwtththeinooiTMtplctiiM.'nieabovvptoture is Alex Dr«w Epatein. By Lynda Frank While Uaa, and Qary Epstein want their three sons to be tliair own persons, Lisa said, "I hope they'll have common interests and do things together. It's like a piece of a puz«le. I hope hell fit in." The "he" rusrs to the newest piece of their family puszle, Alex Drew Epstein, who was bom Oct. U, 1988. The others are his brothers, Robbie, bVi, and Ben, 2H. Gary himself is the youngest of three brothers and feels this ¥dll help him understand what his son will go through. "Being number three," Gary said, "he'll watch and learn from his older brothers and take the beat road for himself. I look up to both my older brothers and I hope he'U have the same respect for his." "Health and family," Gary said, "wiU always pull you through no matter the economic, social or world situation." Gary, who works in his family's wholesale liquor business, said as long as Alex hss his health and faiaily he should be happy. In this regard, tha Epsteins would like their parents, Harold and Etta Epstein of Omaha and Mimi and George Malacoff of Florida, to see Alex become a Bar Mitzvah, graduate from high school, graduate from college and get married. "He needs to be a productive, reqxmsible human being," Lisa said. "Our job is to guide him and help him with his desired goals." Lisa feels being a kid today is harder than when she and Gary were growing up because so much pressure is thrust upon them at such an early age. A former elementary school teacher, she chose to stay home and raise her family. "Childhood memories ate all from family," she said. "You can only be a kid once and I want them to be children and have fun." For the Epsteins this includes msny family activities and ids-on learning experiences, such as malting HnpinmaHa its, painting, going to the park, taking walks, lookat dogs in a pet store, roller skating and going to wrestling matches and basketball games. The Epsteins said they know it is not always easy but communimtion and honesty within the family is important. "If our children feel confident and secure, they'll be able to handle problems and the pressures of society ijpi 20O1. We'll give them values and hope they make the right choices," Gary said. He also said discipline is important in teaming right from wrong. He realizes his children will make mistakes like everybody else but that they will correct them and go <m. "You learn from your mistakea," said Lisa. "They mskke you a stronger person." While her husband feels the world of computers is here and expects they will get one for the family, Lisa's h(»e is that, despite whatever technologgr lies ahead, "Alex will see rainbows and sunshine and that they will still have meaning, that he'll see the beauty. Computers can't do that" It's also important to the Epsteins their chiUren have a Jewish kientity- Gary, who canoe from a very Jewish family and whose grandfather is very orthodox, said, "I wsnt them to carry on that tradition by going to Hebrew School «n41 hope they go through high school, like I dul at Beth EL" Beaklee lighting the candles, saying prayers, inchuiUog

Alex Drew Epstete the blessings for bread and wine, Lisa said, "We still use Yiddish words we got from our gran(i^|>arents like mszel tov, potch, simcha, tzedakah and Shabbat instead of Shabbos. I try to help those words become part of our household." Most of all she said she tries to make being Jewish fun. They also plan to have Alex be a big part of "J" activities. Lisa grew up in Florida where there were miany Jewish Community Centers. She feels having one Center gives more faukiliarity. ''I want Alex to know being Jewish is a part of his life but not a separate thing." Alex, like his brothers, will attend pre-school there and all three boys will take classes so they will be well-rounded. The Epsteins would also like the boys to attend suxmner camp and be active in sports. "Chuck Amold taught me," Gary said, "and I hope he'U be around to teach Alex. He's ahready teaching Rt^bie. I also hope AZA will be around so they can have the fulfillment from that that I did." Gary's grandmother always told him that each child is good luck no matter what. "That's true so far," Gary said. "We've heeui fwtijfiwti^."

Shamir rejects role for UN By Aadnw SUow Carroll UNITED NATIONS (JTA) - Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir shared his ideas for peace with U.N. Secretary-General Javier Perec de Cuellar, but de^cjlioed any United Nations "^ ~ in resolving the Israeli•EPak 'aleatinian conflict "I don't think we see at this moment any special role for the U.N.," Shamir told reporters here shortly after the 30-minute meeting. "If there is any special role, we will discuss it with the general secretary." Shamir described his conversation with Perez de Cuellar as "very good and friendly.' though he said the two discussed Israel's "current problems with the U.N." Chief among these is the General Assembly's frequent call for an international peace conference in the Middle East.

JohoaoD-Ben Oor'a ia a onewoman show, "UteraDy filling up the stage with her acting and singing abiUtiee." Her perfonnance wiB be the ciilmination of thia year's Yom Ha'Atsmant festivitisa on Mqr 14 at 7:80 p.m., at the Jewish Community Center. Sandra Johnson-Ben Dor has been living and performing in Israd for the past 16 years. In early 1973, she was sent to perform in Israel for one month by the La Mama Theater Company of which she was a leading member. The month turned into two months, then three menths. By this time, Ms. Johns(m-Ben Dor had begun performing in kibbutzim all over Israel and teaching in the Theater Department of Tel Aviv University. Then came the Yom Kippur War. Like many artists, Ms. Johnson-Ben Dor volunteered and performed in hospitals and army bases all over Israel Her experiences led to her decision to make aliya, became a citizen and to live in Israel Although she knew many songs in Yiddish and Russian (having begun performing at the age of four in trio with her mother and aiatet), she came to larael without knowing one work of Hebrew. Most new Israelis learn Hebrew in "ulpan." She learned Hebrew on
stage. One performance fed to another and she was aoon starring hi an evening based on the life of French singer Edith naf, called "Padam, Padam." Since then, Ms. JohnsonBen Dor has performed in every venue of Israeli stage lite iachiding the Habimah National Theater where she plqrad the role of Jenny in Brecht's "The Threenenny Opera." r' She is well-known to tele vision audience as a "regular" on the Israel television show "Allcgra!"

Hoagland joins coalition for Soviet Jewry WASHINGTON - Representative Peter Hooj^and, (D-Neb.) has joined the Congressional Coalition for Soviet Jewry. The Coalition, comprised of members from the U. S. Senate and the U. S. House of Representatives, works to increase the number of Soviet Jews allowed to immigrate each year. "I'm very privileged to be a part of this esteemed group. We have much to do this session in keeping the Jackson-Vanik Amendment from being waived," said Hoagland. "We can not be misled by Glaanost. Although the number of Jewish emigrees has increased, we still have not reached the 60,000 annually that haa been aet aa the benchmark." In the first two months of 1989,4,849 Soviet Jews left compared to 1,420 during the same period last year. Over 90 percent of these people are trying to enter the United States as rehi-

At the A]iril 11 ea^birde at Beth El, we took a straw vote on the May dty election. Art Groeaman acted aa moderator. His opening Subject was the past primary election for mayor, with a 60 percent turnout. Opinions were expressed by Herb Meiches, Abe Gendler, Norm Komey, Dave DvorIdn, and Ed Weiner. Art delved into the three necessities, food, water and air, fdlowed by a discourse on crime, especially in Washington, D.C. (District of Crime) wboe, in 1988 there were 30,000 arrests, with 1,400 beds for criminals. Seventy-five percent of convicted rapists repeat their ctimee upon release. (Today's WaU street Jom^ nal reported that William Bennett has authorized 180.000,000 of federal funds for new prison fadlitiee in D.C.) We discussed the deetruction of the rain forests, especially in Brazil, and the greenhouse effects. Marty Shukert was with us, along with mayoral candidate Mike Boyle. Marty presented Mike to ua, and Mike gave us a very intelligent and informative interview. Mike Boyle is one of two
candidates in the May election for mayOT, and ia our former mayor. He is a v«y exciting and interesting young man, and. if elected, may give us national renowi). Marty told us of his past accompUshmenta.

Friedman "^^^ Ha'Atzmaut celebration (Continued from Page 1) features Israeli speaker ened industry agriculture, commerce and other vital facets of the struggling Jewish nation. The Israel Bond organization is a major source of development capital for Israel, having provided close to $9.5 billion since its inception to build every aspect of the nation's economy. Israel Bonds proceeds, channeled through Israel's development budget, help to finance industritil and agricultural projects, the construction of highways and harbors, the expansion of conununications and transport, the building of new towns and the development of new sources of energy.
Readers of the Jerusalem Post or American-Jewish periodicals are probably very familiar with the writings of Dr. Yoaef Goell, one of the speakers for this year's Yom Ha'Atzmaut celebration. Dr. Goell will speak at 1:30 p.m. at the Jewish Community Center and will address the topic "Has Israel Altered Its Vision?" Yosef Goell was bom in America but has lived in Israel for 41 years. He is a lecturer in Israeli politics and society at the Hebrew University's School for Overseas Students, a long established and widely read editor, columnist and editorial
DOUBLES at Firehouse The preamtation of DOUBLES at the Flrafaooae marks the midwest pccmiere of a Broadway comedy by Nebraska-bom playwright David WUtse and the first production of the Fiiehanse as a non-profit pn>fe88ioDal Actors' Equity theater.

writer for The Jerusalem Post, and regularly contributes to numerous Jewish and general media publications around the world. Dr. Goell has lectured frequently to Jewish Federation missions visiting Israel, and to Community Relations Councils, the American Jewish Committee, American Jewish Congress, B'nai B'rith, UJA and diplomatic academic and media visitors sponsored by the Israeli Foreign Minister. Dr. Goell will explore the "long-term dangers of a perfect mythical image of a perfect Israel as opposed to a realistic perception of the fascinating achievements and frustrating failures of Israel as a flawed by impressive experiment in nation building" in his talk. He will consider the changing na: ture of Israel's population and the problem of passing on a national and social revolution to succeeding generations who take a Jewish state for granted. The effects of protracted war and the brutalization/militarization of the nation will also be examined. Finally, Dr. Goell will discuss the impact of modem Western culture and its clash with nostalgia for the old country and the lure of religious fundamentalism. How will all of these issues affect aliya, and jerida; what are the implications of the changing lifestyles and ideals on the "vision" of Israel? Omahan Merle Potash recently heard Dr. Goell speak in Israel and reported that he was "extremely knowledgeable about the situation there (in Israel), and the people who heard him kept him for an extra hour afterwards asking him questions." Mr. Potash highly recommended that Dr. Godl be brought to Omaha for a "question-provoking" afte^ noon. Dr. Goell's presentation will be part of the Jewish Cultural Arts Council's "Tel Aviv Beach Party" Yom Ha'Atzmaut celebration and is free and opm to the public. Funding for this program is provided by the Philip M. and Ethel KhiUmck Program in Jefwiah Civilization. For further informatfan. contact Sara Juster at 3344200.
