Coopermans pledge $200,000 for new Beth El building The community's problem
rhe future of Jewish Omaha
By Margo Riekes, president, Bureau of Jewish Education, and Marvin Poliliov, president, Jewish Community Center Editor's Note: This is the first in a series of-articles outlining the financial crunch facing the Jewish Community of Omaha over the next few years and explaining what must be done to secure the continuing enjoyment of our Jewish programs and services. In a recent meeting of the Jewish Federation of Omaha agency presidents with Federation President Saranne Gitnick, a discussion took place regarding budgeting procedures for 1990. Present at this meeting were: presidents—Marvin Polikov, JCC; Gloria Kaslow, Library; Oliver Pollak, Jewish Press; Fritz ~C8S8Mfla,"ADL/CRC; Ma^ go Riekes, Bureau of Jewish Education; Steve Redler. Bureau for tlie Aging; Howard Epstein, Jewish Family Service; all of the agency directors and the Federation director Howard Bloom, and Charlie Epstein, Federation associate director. It was the consensus of the group that it would be worthwhile to share an overview of the discussion with the entire community. All of the agencies and the Federation are being faced with a critical problem. Omaha's annual Federation campaign and endowment income does not raise enough dollars to cover the current expenses pf operating our Jewish
community campus and programs. We have become a full-service community which offers programs and services spaiming the life cycle. The presidents agreed that we have tried to meet the needs of the Omaha Jewish community but may not be able to continue to successfully maintain the high level of service to which this community has become accustonted. Although each year Omaha has had a campaign that has raised more dollars than the previous year's campaign, the additional dollars are not enough to cover inflation and to also continue program services and to maintain the campus. According to Howard Bloom, executive director of the Federation, "In inflation adjusted dollars, our «ampaigB hasn't raised any more money than it did in 1974. As we move into the 90's, we are faced with the same purchasing power we had 15 years ago but we have many more things that we have to buy." "Part of the reason for this is that the laaders feel they have not educated and motivated the community sufficiently to identify the needs and understand the problems," stated Marvin Polikov, JCC president. "We realize there has to be an increased effort to communicate, educate and inform thacommunity at large so everyone can identify with the problems and feel the same urgency that the agency presidents feel."
"Omaha has always had a history of rising up and meeting a need when deeply felt," said Mrs. Gitnick, Federation president. "This could be seen when we built a new JCC and the Rose Blumkin Jewish Home, when we helped resettle Soviet and Ethiopian Jews, and when we supported Israel with additional dollars during the Six Day War in 1%7 and. the Yom Kippur War in 1973. "The need to continue to sustain Jewish life in Omaha through the prograins and services offered by the Federation and its agencies is crucial. It is our community's investment in Jewish life and in the hope for a viable Jewish community in the future."
Israel-Egypt in agreement By Hugh Orgel TEL AVIV (JTA) - Israel and Egypt have signed a memorandum of understanding to promote industrial cooperationbetween the two countries. The agreement is expected to result in , stronger economic ties between the two countries in the coming months, especially in agriculture. The memorandum was signed in Cairo by the director general of the Egyptian Ministry of Agriculture, Dr. Dessouki, and Uzi Netanel, outgoing chairman of the Israel Manufacturers Association, who headed a delegation of Israeli businessmen and industrialists visiting the Egyptian capital.
"This is just another example of the Cooperman's generosity in supporting many worthwhile causes in our conununity," Ray Goldstein, synagogue president, said. "They have a long and distinguished history of playing an active role in a wide variety of endeavors in our tity," he said. Merriam Cooperman The Beth El Building Fund Drive received another significant shot in the arm toward the attainment of its goal with the announcement this week of a major gift. Merriam and Harold Cooperman have pledged the sum of $200,000 for this drive, which represents the second largest gift in this campaign to date. The pledge of the Robert Feinberg family, announced last May, is the only gift, which surpasses the Cooperman's. "Merriam and I were members of Beth El before our present synagogue was built," Mr. Cooperman said. "We were mar-

"I hope this wonderful gift will encourage other members of our congregation who have been watch-, ing and waiting on the sidelines, to now join with us in realizing our goal," Mr. GoWstein said. "This has been a grass roots, broad-baaed fund drive in our congregation and our building plans are realistic and representative of our members and our tradition," he concluded.
Women's Cabinet members highlight 1990 Campaign
By Jan Perelman Women's division publicity chairman The UJA/Federation Campaign is about more than just raising dollars, according to Anne Broder and Julae Katzman, chairmen-elect of the 1990 Women's Division. "Keeping the community informed and building upon strong Jewish commitment are ke^ responsibilities of the mdividuals involved in a successful campaign," says Mrs. Katzman. "We generally think in terms of aijnpk card distribution and solicitation, when what is also very important is the transferring of information to the women of our community." "The bottom line is that volunteers become iwponsible for assisting staff in the areas of personnel, publicity and educational training," adds Mrs. Broder.

Harold Cooperman ried by Rabbi Goldstein in 1938 and have always had a strong tie to the congregation," he added. Mr. Cooperman is president of No Frills Supermarkets, chairman of the board of River City Bank and board chairman of the United A-G Food CoSperative. ^. "The good Lord has looked kindly on us and allowed us to be able to make this size of a contribution," Mr. Cooperman stated. "We know the new synagogue building will stand for years to come and continue to serve our children, grandchildren and the many more generations to follow," he continued.

"A select group of solicitors has been specially trained by our UJA Community Liaison, Sandra Lippy of Warren, Ohio. Each woman will chooee at least one individual she would like to meet with, person-to-person, to discuss her 1990 pledge. "Solicitation is not a punishment; it is a way of communicating," says Mrs. Schneiderman. "Solicitors need to be motivators and educators to get major pledge increasai.

By David Friedmaa — Israeli Vice Premier Shimon Perea defnxiled Israel's policy of deporting Palestinian instigators of violence saying the practice is a means of avoiding capital punishment. '' From deportations you can come back, " said Peres. "From death we didn't see people returning, even if the government approves." He noted that despite five wars and the constant threat of terrorism during
Israel's 40 years, the government has only executed one man: Adolph Eichmann, the notorious commander of the Nazi SS. The vice premier spoke about the death penalty in response to a question posed during his appearance at the National Press Club. Peres, who is also finance minister, was in Washington to attend the annual meeting of the International Monetary Fund.

L' 'Welcome'??? The Conference of Preaidents of Major American Jewish Organizations has come up with some interesting bacliground on the three PLO representatives who ha\ e received visas to attend the UN General Assembly. The trio is among the most notorious hard-liners and extremists in the PLO, they have shown a complete absence of any spirit of compromise or any readmess to move the peace process forward. Let me introduce: Farouk Kaddoumi. the PLO's so-called "foreign min ister" who has been outspoken in expressing continued support for long-standing PLO policies aimed at Israel's destruction. Defending the repeated infiltration attempts into Israel this year by the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a member of the PLO, he stated: "The PLO is not prepared to condemn operations which any Palestinian organization or faction undertakes." He also has declared that the armed struggle against Israel cannot be abandoned—even if there is a poUtical settlement. Yaawr Abed Babbu is the No. 2 man in the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP), identified in the 1988 Department of Defense study. "Terrorist Group Profiles." It was the DFLP that carried out the raid against a schoolhouse in Ma'alot, on Israel's northern border, in which 25 (mostly children) were killed and 66 wounded He said earlier this year: "It is the right of the Palestinians to exercise all forms oi struggle against the occupation; there is not a state of no-war between us an Israel." Sulim Najabjeader of the Revolutionary Palestinian Communist Party and head of the Communist faction in the PLO Executive Committee, is among the most radical rej«ctioaists in the PLO leadership. He toU the Iraqi news agency that talks between the U.S. Ambassador in Tunisia with PLO representatives "must not be linked to a cessation ol the Palwtinian armed struggle." That these men of terror were selected to represent the PLO at the UN confirms that the PLO remains committed to its covenant: " .. to repulse the Zionist, imperiahst invasion to purge the Zionist presence from Palestine." These men are not peacemakers taking a path to peace. They are gun-toting terrorists committed to the annihilation of Israel

Jewish Studies Institute provides variety, 'something for everyone' By Beth Seldia Dotan Jewish Cultural Arts director The Jewish Cultural Arts Council is extremely pleased with the response fur the up-coming Jewish Studies Institute, a JCAC spokesman said. The College of Jewish Learning, a subcommittee of the JC.AC, has brought tfiis adult education program back to the Omaha community. The Institute will run for six consecutive Monday evenings beginning Oct. 30. The cost of the program is $18 for one or two classes before Oct. 15, and $25 for one or two classes after Oct. 15. On Dec. U, lecturer Professor Howard Schwartz from the Unive^ sity of Missouri-St. Louis will be the closing speaker for the Institute. Professor Schwartz will speak about "Jewish Tales of the Supernatural." This lecture, co-sponsored by the Jewish Feder atiun Library, is free and open to the public. For the duration of the Institute, sitter service will be available from 7:30-8:30 p.m. Contact Corey Kirschenbaum in the Youth Department for details. The Jewish Studies Institute evolved from discussions over the past few years to instigate a serious Jewish adult education program. The result of these talks stressed finding a way to utilize the knowledge of the rabbis and professors of Jewish studies within the Omaha
The Nebraska Rabbinical Council, aware of the idea for the Institute, requested that Rabbi Paul Drazen be representative in supporting this Institute. ".As a Rabbinical Coun cil, we want to revive adult education fur the Jewish conuiiunity as it had run in the past. Though the attempt was made to do this a few years ago. the timing was not right. Now there seems to be a renewed interest for adult Jewish learning." Rabbi Drazen said. Eight months of hard work by the College of Jewish Learning Committee has resulted in a full scheduled adult education course. In addition to this, all Jewish organizations in Omaha have made Monday nights a priority by not scheduling meetings or programs oi any kind in order to ensure successful enrollment for the InstituteAdult education is an opportunity for the better ment of one's Jewish knowledge, as well as a way to set an example for others. Rabbi Azriel notes that. "Judaism is not only for the young generation, but for all ages." The Jewish Studies Institute is structured in a way that each individual will be aUe to cooopiete a Jewish Studies Certificate at the end of a two-year period. The requirements inctode completion of each of five core ar«as, plus three elacttvea ia w area of tba individual'i ctmkei. The Core areas are: To-
To the Editor: On September 25, 1989, there was an article printed in the Otaaha Wortd-Herald entitk)d "Seamar Views Judaism's Future."

The first Yiddish newspaper was printed and distributed in 1907. The newcomers spoke no English; their language was Yiddish and they made themselves understandable by speaking English with Russian-Yiddish idioms. This has remained integral until today. it was an interesting, in; formative report. We also celebrated So-' phie Kahn's birthday. On Sept. 18, YES met at the JCC and celebrated Lee Ross'' birthday. We welcomed guests Eileen and Miles Remer, Marion Martin, EU Stone and Lori Phifer, Lee's granddaughter. At Beth El on Sept. 21, Rabbi Kripke spoke about •Play with Words." People from various countries flocked to the U.S., speaking different languages. In the course of years, their dialects have found their
way into English and become part of our daily language. Every language has its history and it is important for us to know how our language came into being, as it is important for us to know where we came from and became what we are. On Sept. 26, Sol Parsow spoke about his trips to Russia in 1984 and 1985. In 1985, he found his mother's sister's son there. He showed beautiful artifacts he had collected in Russia and spoke about Russian art.

Kol-Bo Shalom, Israel's first Western-style department store—and like some of its Western counterparts, hopelessly in debt-shut its doors after being placed in receivership. The management expressed hope that the court-appointed receiver, attorney Amos Rosensweig, will be able to salvage the enterprise which was in the process of opening branches around the country. Kol-Bo Shalom owes about $3 million to banks and suppliers, and in back rent to its landlords, the Mayer family of Tel Aviv. The family kept the building but sold the store 18 months ago to a group of Israeli ei^id American investors.

Division II plans tour of Federation agencies
By Joanie Jacobson Federation public relations director "Mission 11," a walking tour though the Jewish Federation of Omaha and its beneficiary agencies, and designed especially for the men of Division 11 of the 1990 UJ A/Federation Campaign, will take place on Thursday, Oct. 26, from ,7;15-9:15 p.m., at the Jewish Community Center, announced Gary Javitch and Mike Katzman. division chairmen. " 11's an idea whose time has come," explained Mr. Javitch. ."There are so many people who don't know what their gift to the Campaign provides for our (community. So often, information about the Federation and its agencies is dispersed through rumor ^sA iimaendo. " 'Mission 11' will give the man in our division a bhance to find out for themsetvee—to become acquainted with the sucees^ and problems first:band. and to recognize the ;very valuable services ^available to every person in our Jewish commu Bity." "An Onudu mission like this has never been done before," said Mr. Katz-
Mike Katzman man. "Agency directors, staff associates and key lay leaders will be present to tell their story. There will be six stops on the tour covering a wide range of issues. "It's a chance to meet privately in a small group with agency representatives, and the evening promises to be satisfying and fulfilling for anyone who attends. "While a speaker can be motivating and energize an audience, we think the information given over during the mission'—the cold facts-will be exactly what's needed to advance the campaign," he said. 'There are those people in the community who are

concerned that campaign dollars are spent frivolously," said Mr. Javitch. "I could assure them this is not the case, but 'Mission 11' will give them an opportunity to hear it from those involved in Jewish community business on a day-today basis. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions—to stand up and be counted. "It's an opportunity for the agency directors and repreaentatives as well," he continued, to talk to the pec^ who give their hardearned dollars in support of their work. They should always be in touch with the people who give. "The whole idea, of course, is to develop community involvemoit," Mr. Javitch concluded. "It's essential that we take an interest in what's going on around u&. This is as im-

portant an opportunity as these men will ever have to see for themselves how their money is being spent." "The mission' will reveal issues that directly affect us and our families," said Mr. Katiman. "We'll have a chance to talk, to make our commitment to the 1990 campaign and to enjoy each other's company with refreshments to follow."

friends and myself to have this community to reach out to and depend on. I have always been committed to the support of Israel, and having recently visited there, the feelings are even stronger. "Working on Women's Division is the way 1 pay my rent to this Omaha Jewish community." Another member of the 1990 women's cabinet is Carol Katzman. She is responsible for the "Jewish awareness component" of the group. "Carol keeps us current on what is going on 'Jewishly' in the world and reminds us of the reasons why we are working,' says Mrs. Broder. 'My job is a natural for me because I have a need to keep current on what's really happening with Israel and world Jewry. " says Mrs. Katzman. "It is vital to the campaign to keep ourselves educated—politically, economically and religiously. The more educated we are. the easier it is to educate others. And that translates into more dollars raised. '"Today, people of our generation, and younger, are making decisions based upon informed reason,"' she continues. "And that translates into more dollars raised. "The appeal has changed. We don't always make decisions about
tzedaka based on emotion. We need facts and reasons. "We are bombarded daily by organizations needing money—all of them worthwhile. Therefore, to make a choice, we need to know things like what is happening .with Israel's political and religious parties, and how that affects the daily Uves of the Israeli people. We need to know about the difficulties of fellow Jews in Argentina, and about Soviet Jews stranded in Ladispoli, awaiting entry to the U.S. "I take kernels of what I read in books and publications," she concludes, "and convey to our volunteers the information that will make the job of fundraising easier."

U.S. expected to guarantee loans for Israel, despite reservations
Second teen trip to Israel announced The Bureau of Jewish Education and the Jewish Community Center have announced plans for another ARTZA, the Omaha Teen Trip to Israel. ARTZA, which Uteraliy means "To The Land" is a three-week trip to Israel for Omaha Jewish High School students whose families are contributors to the Jewish Federation of Omaha and who are currently enrolled in 10th or 11th grades. ARTZA is designed as a first-time Israel experience. This is the second teen trip to Israel that is completely executed by the Omaha Jewish community. Plans for the trip have been under way since spring of 1989. According to Margo Riekes, ARTZA chairman, "ARTZA is unique because it is specifically geared to the needs of Omaha teenagers. Because it takes place at the end of the summer, it 'allows teens to work before they leave for Israel. It is more affordable than the traditional six-week tour.' Mrs. Riekes stressed, "This is not a vacation, it is an Israel experience. All participants will go to Israel with knowledge, enthusiasm and great expectations. The trip will be preceded by a semester of classes, social gatherings and a Shabbaton.

ministration officials and congressional leaders had two objections to the plan. The first is that the United States would be hard-pressed to come up with $400 million in an atmosphere of fiscal restraint. The second is that the United States, which opposes additional Israeli settlement of territories Israel captured in 1967, is concerned that housing will be built in those disputed areas for Soviet emigres. "We remain opposed to settlements in the West Bank and also opposed to the use of U.S. aid for that purpose," Marlin Fitzwater, the White House press secretary, said.
