Rabbi Shoham to lead Beth Israel services The Board of Commissionera of Beth larael Synagogue has announced the appointment of Rabbi Gilbert Shoham to be guest rabbi for the coming High Holidays. When Rabbi Nadoff in formed the board of Beth Israel that his recuperation would not be far enough along for him to officiate during the High Holidays, the board began looking for a guest rabbi to lead holiday services. After contacting numerous sources and interviewing candidates, Rabbi fhoham was selected to occupy the Beth Israel pulpit for this Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Rabbi Shoham is a graduate of Yeshiva University and is an ordained Orthodox rabbi. At the present time he is
professor of philosophy at the University of Missouri at Kansas City. He also serves as (Urector of the Fellowship of Orthodox/Traditional Rabbis and has served as spiritual leader of congregations in Montreal, Canada, California and Kansas City. Rabbi Nadoff said he know Rabbi Shoham personally and supports his appointment. Rabbi Shoham said he will be working with Cantor Leo Fettman to assure the congregation of meaningful and inspiring worship services for the High Holidays. "I am looking forward to leading the Beth Israel congregation in worship. I am very pleased to step in and substitute for my friend and colleague. Rabbi Nadoff," Rabbi Shoham said.

r^y^ Most of the time when we're traveling from one place to the other, we fly. Recently, we made a short trip into Iowa by car. As we drove, we had pleasant discussions regarding all the good aspects of car travel and we agreed it woukl be fun to stop at historically interesting places to just "have a look." We agreed also that usually we say "We really dcm't have time to stop there—and anyway, what's the big deal about that place?" We talked about many subjects and when we got bwed with our conv^sation, we listened to the radio. Then, all of a sudden, I began to pay attention to the ftmny names of towns we were nearing. And we began to speculate how they were named and by whom and whatever for, in some cases! For example, wouldn't your curiosity be aroused at a town named Montezuma? In'Iowa yet. 1 wondered (and still do) who the heck thought of that name and better yet, why? Montezuma. Beats me. Then there was the road sign advising us that in just so many miles we'd be approaching the exit for Brooklyn—Iowa, not New York. Also a curiosity, no? •' Possibly one of my all-time favorites is a place called What Cheer. I'm serious. That's the name of the town. I haven't a clue as to why it's called that or who named it or for that matter, what it's like, because we flew right past. But I'll always remember it and have promised myself if the chance should recur, 111 have a look and ask a few questions! Another one that ticked me was someplace named Loulora. Was that for a lady or is it Indian for "this land could grow good com?" I certainly don't know and probably never will, except I'm thinking that it would be fun to research the history of such places as these and learn a little more about them. Especially some place called Marenso—isn't that a dUly? To me, it sounds like a South American dance of some kind. Can't you see a handsome young man in tight pants and a bolero jacket bowing deeply and asking a beautiful young lady, "Will you dance the Marengo with me Sencxita?" Marengo, Iowa, is, however, another story I I also noticed some place called North English and another named Oxford. They weren't close enough to eacn other to write my own scenario, but you nevo* know. I might get desperate some day and do just that. One last little town caught my eye—a place named Mingo. It reminded me of a funny song my kids used to sing about somebody named B-I-N-G-0. I don't know from Mingo, but it's enough to make me wonder. And by the way, it isn't only towns that have funny names. We discovered two places along the way where the sign at the approach of the bridges claimed North Skunk River and South Skimk River. If it makes any difference to you, there wasn't any water in either one, but the signs were good for a laugh. So oiu" secret is out. Now you know how my roommate and I entertain ourselves while traveling by car. It's not very intellectually stimulating but it does help pass the time and if I were to tell you the absolute truth, I have to admit we both get easily bored at such times. I guess it would be (^y fair to give some credit to these little towns. We noticed time and again how many invited everyone to "visit our village museum " Maybe next time.
High Holiday resource fair The Bureau of Jewish Education is sponsoring a High Holiday Resources Fair for teachers on Sunday, Sept. 17, from 1:30-3:00 p.m., at the Jewish Conununity Center. This is the second in a series of HoUday Fairs that are made possible by a Grant from the Esther K. Newman Memorial Fund. The workshop will be led by Elyce Azriel, one of our conununity teachers. Besides being a master Hebrew teacher and certified in foreign language by the State of Nebraska, Mrs. Azriel has
had extensive experience in developing and working in resource centers. Before her arrival in Omaha, Mrs. Azriel directed and supervised the Liebtag Resource Center in Baltimore, Md. Teachers will be given information and ideas that they can use in their classrooms to make their teaching of the High Holidays even more creative and to expand their base of knowledge. For more information, please contact Susan Drazen at the Bureau of Jewish Education, 3348200, ext. 246.

Beaming faces Not too long ago, someone suggested that the Jewish Press devote a special issue geared to those people who work behind the scenes to make Jewish life in Omaha a little bit better. The Mitzvah-doers we would go after for stories would be—the suggestion-maker pointed out—those individuals who make a big difference in peoples' lives by doing little things. We temporarily shelved the project, but now I'm beginning to think the theme of people helping people could be an excellent choice. What makes me think so is the party which was held last week at the Livingston Plaza Apartments for the residents. The party was sponsored by the Board of Directors and I was there to take a few photographs. When I saw that everybody was having a great time, I suggested to Joe Boin, one of the residents who also is a volunteer columnist for the Jewish Press that he write something about the party for the paper. He must not have slept that night because early the next morning, a typed report was on my desk. I particularly liked his description of the ptirticipants as "Beaming Faces" and used this expression for the headline of this editorial. By attending this party, I learned quite a bit about the people who reside in the apartments and about those generous members of the community who help with the extras. • Like Mary Fellman, Jean Duitch, Jeanette Nadoff, Kevee Kirshenbaum, Livingston Plaza directors who not only talk about how great the facility is, but who work to make living conditions even better. * Like all the anonymous benefactors who came up with funds for a television set and a video-casette player, like Allan Caplan of Applause Video who donates weekly movies, like Elliot Brown of Midwest Business Products whose donation of pads and pens spark plenty of artistic tident and the List goes on andob...
Journalism's woes Many in the conmiunity do not realize how important a role many Foundation Funds play in presenting community programs, and sometimes this newspaper hurts rather than helps the understanding. There was such an occasion last week when a story on an intergenerational cooking class neglected to say that the money for the program came from the Kenneth Ray Tretiak Memorial Fund. On checking, we found that the story had to be cut by the pasteup artist, and unfortunately this item—the most important part—was cut to make the story fit. We apologize for the oversight.

For the finale, the group reassembled in the theater and a spolcesman from each team described the crime and the criminal.

The money raised from Beau Dance is being spent in very useful ways. The two chapters, M.Z. Yoshanah and Ediar, were each given money to send to ISF (International Service Fund). The remainder of
the money will be divided between the two chapters and the council. Also, for the first time ever, part of the money will be put into scholarships for the members of Combelt Council BBG to use for future regional events.

(^© QUIF© ©®5?ai©ff Glen Fuieman Executive Director Jewigli Family Service "I was cleaning my {son's bedroom and I [found an empty beer can," Mrs. G. cried as she frantically described her situation to the Jewish Family Service intake worker. "That's not the half of it," she continued. "As I picked up liis jeans from the pile on the floor a joint fell out of the pocket. His teacher called today and said that if he is caught one more time smoking in the school bathroom he will be suspended. I can't believe this is hi^pening to me," Mrs. G. sobbed. "He's a nice Jewish boy and we've always given him everything he
wants afid needs. I've tried to talk to him about it, but he says he doesn't know how they got there; then just walks away. With my husband out of town often on business with his company, I don't know what to do... I've just got to talk to someone." An appointment was arranged for Mrs. G., her husband, and son the next day. During the assessment, it was learned that the 17-year-old boy was about to graduate high school and has few friends.

program that will receive its funding throu^ the Phillip G. Schrager and Terri L. Schrager supporting foundation, the Jewish Federation of Omaha, the Temple Israel Religious School and the United Tahnud Torah of Omaha. "It was established because the Omaha Jewish Federation and synagogues believe that all children, regardless of ability, have the right to a Jewish education," continued Mrs. Drazen. Curricular goals for the class include Jewish identity, Jewish history, and the Jewish holidays. The instructors will be Phyllis Brown, Pam DePorte and Linda Novak. All
three teachers possess SPED certification and are currently special education teachers in local Omaha schools. Et-Gar classes will be held at Temple Israel, 7023 Cass Street, beginning in September and will run every Sunday from 10 a.m. to noon throughout the academic year. There is a $50 per semester charge for this special service for families not currently holding memberships in one of the three local synagogues. For further information, contact Susan Drazen at the Bureau of Jewish Education 3348200, Ext. 246, or Phyllis Brown at 592-9487.

'Days of Rage' ratings were average despite hype 3y Andrew Silow Carroll Washington (JTA) PDespite four months of I the kind of controversy and hype that filmmakers only dream about, the Public Broadcasting Service's broadcast of the controversial film "Days of Rage: The Young Palestinians" and its wraparound programming reached only averagesized viewing audiences, according to PBS officials. While the ratings were not outstanding, some f Jewish leaders are concerned that American Jewry's campaign against the dociunentary has created a notoriety that could backfire and actually serve Arab propagandists. Although Jewish leaders said they had no choice but to protest the film, some fear it will be distributed around the
country as the "film the Jews tried to stop." "Days of Rage" aired Sept. 6 in most national markets, after months of protests by Jewish groups that the film presents a one-sided attack on Israel's handling of the Palestinian uprising. In response to the outcry, PBS "bookended" the documentary with short films showing IsraeU points of view and a panel discussion with Jewish and Arab-American leaders, as well as experts on the Middle East. PBS also aired a disclaimer before and after the broadcast, saying it could not substantiate accusations that "Days of Rage" producer Jo Franklin-Trout had accepted funding for thedocument2ury from an Arab organization, in violation of PBS rules.
