Journalist tells Omaha Israel not understood Arriving not with political answers or sohitions, but describing the soul of a nation. Freda Keet spoke to over 100 at the Jewish Community Center Sunday. Miss Keet, a journalist from Israel, emphasized that there is no analogy in the West to what is happening in Israel. Miss Keet said the outnde world simply doesn't understand what is happening in Israel. She stated Israeli society is filled with anxiety and fear; people are afraid to tniat or believe or even to She MBphMiaad that all the alogans and chants and rejections from the aurrounding Arab worid have a terrible effect oo the Jewiab people.

They include Charlotte Adler, Jill Belmont, Genevieve Bornstein, Esther Canar, Bernice Crounse, Jean Duitch, Bobbie Epstein, Frieda Erman, Bettie Fisk, Cindy Goldberg, Dora Goldstrom, Rini Gonsho', Julee Katzman, Sandy Kutler, Nancy Lazer, Bert Lewis, Lisa Lewis, Linda Mann, Nancy Noddle, Vicki Perlmeter, Marcia Pitlor, Dinah Raful, Jeanne Raznick, Dode Redler, Margo Ridces, Zoe Riekes, Jane Rips, Toni Rosen and Susie Shyken. According to Ruth Erman, event chairman, the committee is pleased with the response thus far.
"Frankly, " she said, "the choice of gatherings held at two different times is an experiment. We want to make attendance easy by accommodating everyone's schedule. The evening event is particularly suited to mothers concerned about sitter arrangements as well as working women and teens who cannot attend during the daytime. "Participation is important, not only because of the excefStional program that has been planned, but because this is an opportunity to celebrate together. It is a time to recognize thie Jewish women in our community for their hard work, their concern, and for their dollars," Mrs. Erman concluded. "The Jewish American Princess: No Laughing Matter!" will be the topic
The first Jewish Day School In the Soviet Union (See Pages 6 aiNl 7)
"Because of its importance to Jewish women of all ages," Mrs. Erman emphasized, "Everyone is encouraged to attend." The cost of either the day or evening event is $12 per person. A minimum gift of $52 to the 1990 UJA/Federation Campaign is required to attend. Teenage girls are exempt from the minimum gift requirement and may attend for only the cost of the meal and program. Dietary laws will be observed. Reservations can be made by contacting Ellie Penner, women's division director, 334-8200, Ext. 264.

A Review
A 'perfect match' Jeffrey Taxman, minus beard, and Susie Drazen practice playing Tevye, tlie dairyman and Golde, his wife, for Fiddler OD the Roof, now playing at the Jewish Community Center through Dec. 23. By Morris Maline
A Review This year is the 25th anniversary of the Jewish musical Fiddler on the Roof, and wow! The Jewish Community Center theater is really in a celebrating stance. Jieffrey Taxman, a veteran performer of the role, delighted the opening night audience with an extraordinary performance as Tevye, the dairyman. If the reader permits this lavish praise, Mr. Taxman projects his part with such talent that every syllable he speaks or sin^ rings clearly through the theater. And, welcome Susie Drazen as Golde, his wife. Although in real life she is the wife of Rabbi Paul Drazen of Beth El Synagogue and executive director of the Federation's Bureau of Jewish Education, she also is a top performer. Truly, Taxman and Drazen are aJperfect match'. In support, most of the major rdma filled by Judy Weiner as the matchmaker; Steve Wasserman, the student; Don Gerber, the rabbi; Tom-Michael Neumann, Motel, the tailor; and Suki Meyers, the Fiddler, provided imposing performances. Of special note was the entrance of Stan Widman with his attention-getting song, the production of the dream sequence, the music, scenes, costumes and direction. Performances are presented Thursdays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. through Dec. 23, and Dec. 10 and 17 at 2:30 p.m.

What does Temple Israel have in common with Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center and other great centers for classical music? Nearly 200 music lovers answered that question with sustained applause last week at the opening performance of Close Encounters with Music. Under the artistic direction of Yehuda Hanani, Cincinnati CollegeConservatory, violins, viola, piano and cello in the hands of artists who have performed world-wide, presented Exotica and Inspiration. This production involved music by Haydn, Debussy, Sarasate and Dvorak, the first encounter. On Jan. 27, comes What Is Jewish Music?; On March 5, From Russia
With Love; and on April 21, Romantic Triangle: Brahms, Schumann and Clara. Celloist and director Hanani will return each time with different sets of accomplished performers. Their experience is at the great music halls of the country—world-class musicians. Mr. Hanani told the opening night audience that he prefers smaller settings for this type of music rather than the large concert halls. He added that he was especially impressed with the acoustics at Temple Israel and that he was looking forward to his series of return engagements. Major funding for the series was provided by Roz.and Ike Friedman, Janis and Donald Yale, Susie and Marvin Cohn, Susie and Alan Friedman with additional funding by Alan Simon, Fred Simon, Stephen Simon, Darlynn and Tom Fellman.

Official reminder By David Kontor BONN (JTA)-An official of the opposition Social Democratic Party has warned against allowing joy over the opening of the Berlin Wall to erase the memory of Jewish suffering during the Nazi era. Heinz Putzrath, who chairs the SPD's committee of Nazi survivors, spoke out against prx>posals to make Nov. 9, the day the East German regime opened the wall, a national holiday in West Germany. He pointed out that the day is the anniversary of the notorious Kristall; nacht—the night of broken glass—the first government-sanctioned organized pogrom in Nazi Germany which occurred on Nov. 9-10, 1938. Hundreds of Jews were murdered and thousands were injured on that occasion, as Jewish homes, businesses and synagogues were destroyed all over the Reich while
crowds of citizens applauded. Since the wall was opened, much of the media has been urging that the date be officiadly designated a holiday to mark an historic event in the modem history of Germany. But Putzrath argued that it must not be stripped of its special character of remembrance. He pointed out that there are other suitable dates to celebrate the symbolic razing of the wall. Most observers believe its occurrence on Nov. 9 was fortuitous, as the faltering Communist re gime was abeady under intense popular pressure to open the borders. It hardly could have been conscious at the time of the date's other significance. In fact, some passages through the wall remained closed on Nov. 9 while others were opened. There were no guidelines and local authorities acted on their own initiative.
Egyptian woman who spied for Israel tells story after decade of silence By Gil Sedan JERUSALEM (JTA) An Egyptian woman who once spied for Israel with her husband has broken her decade-long silence on the affair with a complaint that the Israeli authorities are neglecting her. The woman, who now lives in Israel, claims her husband gave Israel advance warning of the Yom Kippur War. Her story has revived the controversy over why Israel was unprepared when the Egyptian and Syrian armies struck suddenly on Yom Kippur 1973. Israel suffered nearly 3,000 dead or missing in a mopth of fighting. Inahrah Shahin, 45, who changed her name to Dina Ben-David, has no regrets about having spied for the Jewish state. But she is bitter over her poor economic condition, considering that she and her late huflbonti Ibrahim Shahin, worked for Isrodi intellignce from 1967 until they were caught in 1974.

Police fined BONN (JTA) - Four West German policemen have been given short prison sentences and fined for inciting racial hatred and praising the Nazis. The four men in their early 20s were sentenced last month in a court in Eutin, in the state of SchleswigHolstein, to prison terms of two months and two weeks each. The policemen have also been suspended from their jobs and face even harsher measures. The men, whose actions took place during celebrations of Hitler's 100th birthday on April 20, had to pay fines of 1,000 marks, or about $662, which was earmarked for an unnamed Jewish facility.

—Point of view— By Harry AlTen By the time this is published, Prime Minister Shamir will have come and gone from the United States after having what wiU be from all accounts a very chilly meeting with the President and Secretary Baker. He will no doubt get an earful from Israel's supporters in the Congress. As he returns to Israel he will face a government coalition that is rapidly falling apart and Shimon Peres is probably correct when he says that a majority of the Knesset is now willing to trade land for peace. The religious parties, particularly Degel Hatorah and Shas the Sephardic religious party are very dovish and are not committed to the concept of "greater Israel." In addition Shamir and Israel must now cast a wary eye to Jordan in the East.

eetinians, must know that if it cannot achieve something at this juncture its own future is very cloudy. And if the PLO loses out to Hammas in the West Bank and Gaza the situation for Israel will become almost intolerable. Intelligent analysis therefore in both Israel and within the PLO ought to conclude that in the interests of both parties some direct dialogue ought to start-however difficult the issues to be discussed, and they are exceedingly difficult. Even were there to be direct talks, the prospects of success are at best marginal. But intelligent analysis is not a hallmark of the Middle East. So we are about to start the third year of the intifada-with much less direct confrontation than in the past-but that is of little matter. The intifada is a state of mind as much as anything else-and that state of mind for the West Baiters and Gazans has not abated at all despite the severe economic hardships. My own judgment is that the events are pushing Shamir into negotiations, albeit with resistance and foot dragging, but negotiation aU the same. In a workl where the Berim Wall is being dismantled, where South Africa is edging slowly toward the end of Apartheid, where ia area after area local wars are vrinding down, the Middle East cannot forever remain an arena of conflict.
can do much to heal the breach between the extremes of the religious right and the modem American Jew in the Midwest. For those of us who care, the existence of a traditional synagogue, regardless of its name, is a must. It is not an economic issue. If a smaller less imposing structiu-e is called for. so be it. There are within the ranks of the Orthodox Rabbinate those individuals who are dedicated to providing for the reUgious needs of Jews whoever they may be. Keeping Beth Israel on a sound economic footing and finding a rabbi as energetic and dedicated as Rabbi Nadoff are two formidable tasks. Worthwhile goals are often difficult to reach. The obstacles to success can be overcome by dedication and perseverance and the use of careful planning, conunon sense and soimd judgment. Beth Israel has the hucnan resources necessary to achieve its go^ls and play a positive role in our community. Leon Shrago To the Editor: The article for merging Beth El and Beth Israel made a great deal of sense. I've been to synagogues all over the world and Beth Israel cannot be considered orthodox. It is alm(»t identical to conservative. Why does Omaha need two conservative synagogues? Stanley Cohen To the Editor: Mr. Eisenberg's article was well written and informative. I am in full agreement with his call for a merger. The level of attendance, coupled with the age situation, at Beth Israel services is pathetic. Anyone who thinks that there are people in the wiogs who will revitalize this situation is deluding themselves. At the rate things are going, we'll be lucky if Beth El and Temple can hold their own. Richard La To the Editor: I'm writing to applaud the thoughtful arti presented last week by Bob Eisenberg, concerning a proposed merger of Beth Israel and Beth EL I concur with his thinking. Our community of Jewish familiea is not large. We do our beet to support the synagogues, achoola, Roaa Blumkin Home, JCC, as well a6 all the Federatjion commitments. iContinued on Paga 5)

(Contiaued from Page 4) We continually aak the same small community to continually stretch itself financially. As far as a synagogue merger is concerned, now is a perfect time to concentrate on our similanties and compromise our differences. Bob's points are well made and need to be taken seriously by Beth El and Beth Israel leadership.

Cantor Fettman participated in three days of speaking engagements with us in Billings, Mont., this past month. The impact he had upon the over 650 people who heard him was deep and long lasting. Cantor Fettman spoke of his experiences during the Shoah to audiences as diverse as a high school honor class and the local Rescue Mission for the homeless. In each and every presentatkm, Cantor Fettman spoke candidly about the shocking events which so profoundly affected his life. But he did so with humaneness and humor, and with a message of hope. Yea, Omaha does have a treasure in Cantor Fettman, one that we here in Billings are grateful you were kind enough to share with us. Thank you Beth Israel Synagogue and thank you Omaha.

Last year this effort was plat of Temple Israel's Tikun Olam (repairing the world) project. Omaha Meal»OnWheels/Neighbors Who Care, is an ongoing project in its second year of delivering meals to those who would otherwise be without a hot meal on holidays. Omaha Meals-On-Wheels is a privately funded program conducted in cooperation with ENOA and cor sponsored by WOWT Channel 6. The government program which provides meab during the week doeen't have additional funds for holidays. The fact that hundreds of Omaha's elderly were akxw and without a nutritious meal on holidays inspired Lois Friedman, volunteer coordinator and Marilyn Konigsberg, coDununity affairs director at WOWT Channel 6 to create this program. Each vohinteer is being asked to deliver five meab which will take about one hour. Families are encouraged to do this together. Those interested in volunteering may call 444-6247.

Bible contestant sees mother in JCC theater By Jo Carroll
All of my reporter instincts with regard to objectivity went out the window when Morris Maline gave me my first assignment for the Jewish Press: To cover the Bible Quiz. Sundi^ morning I tried to prepare myself. Sharpened pencil, pad in hand, I headed for the Jewish Community Center. Can a reporter take down notes while she is cheering on the contestants I wondered? I picked out a seat down front smack dab in the middle. This position was taken so that I could hear the participants. I would never sit there just so I could get a better view. The 14 students received instruction from Steve Riekes, while judges Rabbi Aryeh Azriel of Temjple Israel Rabbi Paul Drazeo of Beth El Synagjogue, and Cantor Leo Fettman of Beth Israel Synagogue were getting rea^y. I thought that one conteataat looked especially DioaDuaing. The promising contastant, a sophomore girl from Burke High, got chair numbar two. I woodar if she knew the right atrat«gy for that poritioa.
The quis was going along quite nkety until the girl in chair number two missed a 30-point question and my reporter's pad sUpped to the floor. Periodically, Mrs. Kaslow deferred to the judges for the decision on the correct answer. At this point, all the contestants had been eliminated, except for the six finalists. The girl was still in seat number two, her blue eyes shining just a tittle bit more. Hiding my hand from the audience with my reporter's pad, I gave her a thumbs up signal. I wasn't helping her out. Don't coaches send a k)t of encouraging signals in from the sidelines?
It was down to the wire. The winners were announced. First place, winning a S500 scholarship was Alan KricsfeU; second place with S300 went to Mordy Schwartz, and fourth place, $100 went to Sarah Rennard. Third place? The promisip^ contestant with the bkia eyes woo. She's my daughter, Gina Lewald. Welcome to Omaha!

By Sara Juater Community lecture chairman On Dec. U, 7:30 p.m., the Jewish Federation Library and the Jewish Cultural Arts Council will sponsor an evening with a man writer Cynthia Oiick calls "a modem wonder." Howard Schwartz, who is considered one of the foremost anthologists of Jewish literature in the world, will speak about "Jewish Tales of the Supernatural." According to Dan Jaffe, a colleague at the University of Missouri, Professor Schwartz is a 'triple threat. He's a detective scholar who has unearthed all kinds of materials, particularly folk materials, a critical scholar, and a remarkable storyteller and poet." LiUth's Cave, on which Schwartz' presentation will be based, ia a colkction of Jewish tales of mystery, suspense and the supernatural. He explores the legends of the dybbuk and the golem and shows that Jewish folklore is just as obsessed by the supernatural as any other. Professor Schwartz is a professor of Enghsh at the University of Missouri-St. Louis lUMSU and the editor of numerous collections of Jewish folkkre (including Ulith's Cave, Miriam's TambouiiM, and a collection of Jewish fairy tales) and the pr»«minent anthology of Jewish poetry from around the work! IVoicea Within the ArkX He is also an author in his own right: his book of poetry, The Gathering of Sparks, was translated into Hebrew by two of Israel's Wiading poets, Shlomo Vinner and Yehuda AmichaL Also a gifted translator, Prof. Schwarti. aaatoted bty his wife, Tnik, has translated into English the works of many Israeli poets and novelists. Late this spring, The New and SdectwiPMMielShhMM VfaiMr, of wttich ka was the main tranalator, wfll be
pubUshed by BkMk Press of the University of Missouri-Kansas City. In addition. Prof. Schwartz is organizing the new Judaic Studies Department at UMSL Howard Schwartz, his wife and their three children live in St. Louis. Mrs. Schwartz is a ealligrapher and ketubah maker and her illuminated manuscripts will be on display at the Jewish Community Center Art Gallery through Jan. 30. A reception will follow Prof. Schwartz's presentation. For more inform«tion, contact Beth Saldin Dotan or Edythe Wolfe, Federation Ubrarian. at 334-B200.

Unearth church By Hugh Orgel TEL AVIV (JTA) The remains of a Byzantine church dating from the fifth or sixth centuries C.E. have bera discovered at the Be'er-Sham ruins in the Negev, the government has announced. The find was made in the first season of diggings at thesite, by a team headed by Yeshayahu Lender and Dan Gazit of the Antiquities Authority, a government agency. A building was found with two chambers. One used for baptisms contains a marble-covered baptismal font. But the most important discovoy was the three inscriptions on the mosaic floor. Two honor the priests and members of the local community. The third, in Homeric-style Greek, mentions Helad^ the governor of Gerar, which was a province during the Byzantine period in what is now southern IsraeL The ijiscription says a battaiuDof the governor's horscnan helped build the •truetora. Ika iascriptions are eapedally important (0 atchaeolodats, because they name the province and the governor, and credit cavalrymen with arectiiig the church.

It has beien added to the curricula of two high schools, one in Haifa and the other in Kfar Sava.

Shirley teaches first grade Sunday School at the UTTO. She also serves as Resource Specialist which "involves making teaching materials, charts, and visual aids. I feel strongly about the children coming into a bright, cheerful classroom for their Jewish education. I want them to be excited about coming to Religious School." Shirley is currently teaching the Little People's Shabbat Service at Beth Israel twice a month. Children four to eight years old have their ow? special service. "We talk about the prayers and relate them to things happening in the children's lives. It's really marvelous experiencing the children's joy of learning," she stated. Shirley is one of the learning disabilities teachers for the Bureau of Jewish Education, and for the past couple of years she has also been facilitator for a Parent-Toddler class. Shirley grew up in Omaha. She holds two master's degrees: one in special education/reading, the other in special education/learning disabilities from the University of Nebraska at Omaha. "Judaism is very special and important to me. I've been teaching Sunday School since my high school days. Over the years, I have taken courses in Jewish education, and I attend the CAJE Conference (Conference for the Advancement of Jewish Education) almost every summer. One summer I participated in a Melton Research Center workshop devoted to Torah stw^. "In 1970, I made xay first trip to Israel 1 have found so much value in Judaism.

much more 1 want to learn." Shirley is currently involved in developing new Bible curriculum for UTTO which incorporates a cooperative goal structure. "The UTTO funded my attendance at a workshop at the University of Minnesota this past summer. My objective in attending this five day workshop was to learn enough about cooperative learning techniques so 1 could incorporate these values when writing Bible curriculum for grades K, 1 and 2. "I'm really fortunate to be working with other creative and dedicated educators. Last year when writing the Kindergarten Bible curriculum, I was privileged to work withClaudia Jacobs, who, incidentally, was the illustrator for a Jewish holiday book I wrote, and we took into consideration her talents and strengths when writing the lesson plans she would be implementing. "This year Judy Katskee is the 1st grade Bible teacher and her input is highly vahwd. Stan Mitchell, educational director for UTTO, is very supportive and I know I can count on his encouragement when I have a new idea that 1 want to implement."
JERUSALEM (JTA) Archaeological excavations in the area of Kibbutz Sha'ar Hagolan this past season have added considerable information about the people who inhabited that part of northern Israel approximately 7,000 to 8,000 years ago. For one thing, remnants were found of two rectangular stone structures, giving evidence of a stable, permanent dwelling site. Previous discoveries in the area testified to a nomadic way of life. The most exotic find was the largest stone figurine that can be attributed to the neofithic people who lived in the area between 5,000 and 6,000 BCE. About 100 figurines have been found at Sha'ar Hagolan over the years, most of them 2 to 2.5 inches high. The latest find, however, is almost 12.5 inches high. It has an elongated head, diagonal eyes and a rounded hole for a nose or mouth. The largest stone figure previously found in the region was only 8 inches high. The profusion of figurines, more than at any other site from the same period, suggests that Sha'ar Hagolan may have been an important spiritual or cultural center.

Former Omahan to present concert at Strauss Center
Tsila Schwarta
Two artists featured in upcoming JCC display By Beth Seldin Dotan Cultural Arts Director Robin Jaffe, painter and fiber worker, and Tsila Schwartz, calligrapher, will be displaying their work in the Jewish Community Center Art Gallery from Dec. 11 through Jan. 30. 1990. A reception and opoiing for the exhibit will take place Monday evening, Dec. 11, following the 7:30 p.m. Book Fair and College of Jewish Learning lecture by Wofessor Howard Schwartz of St. Louis. Robin Jaffe, originally from New York City, now lives in Kansas City with her husband, poet Dan Jaffe and their six children. Her work of paintings, drawings and fiber pieces fall into two major categories: appearances, which include masks, disguises, contortions, poees; and land- and seascapes. "The problem for the artist," Mrs. Jaffe explains, "is to find the technical means to project emotions such questions (who we aie, where we are) produce. That is why I continue to experiment with line, color and mateIn addition to her other pieces, Mrs. Jaffe has iUuatrated and designed numerous books, including HoBeyBMMMi, by WilUam Kloeffeom, and most receotfy the cover and iUustrations for Victoria Gar ton's KJMM in ikt Raw Night.

Israel to sell produce to Soviets By Hugh Orgel TEL AVIV (JTA) The Soviet Union and Poland are shaping up as serious markets for IsraeU exports. Agriculture Ministw Avraham Katz-Oz returned from Moscow Sunday night, after signing a series of agreements with Soviet officials, including a deal for Israeli agricultural products to be shipped this winter. Vice Premier Shimon Peres, who returned from a visit to Poland last week, told the Cabinet that the Poles want to improve trade with Israel in the fiekls of telecommunications, aviation, medical technology and tourism. They are willing to sign a host of economic and trade agreements, said Peres, who serves u financ* minister. He predicted bilateral trade with Poland woukl quickly rise to t50 million, double its current level KatzOz was the first Israeli Cabinet minister to visit the Sovist Unioo since the Kremlin brake diploiMtic Nlatiooa with IsradlcluriBg the 1967 SixD«y War. He told re-
porters that Agrexco, the agricultural marli^tiog board, will send an initial shipment of 9(),000 tons of Israeli fruit and vegetables, valued at $30 million, to the Soviet Union. The produce will be carried in Soviet ships and cwgo aircraft that will call in Israel. Moscow will pay in U.S. dollars, to be transferred to Israel by intermediaries. In addition to providing the goods for export. Is-, rael agreed to assist the Soviets in water planning, cotton production and the establishment of dairies and chicken farms.
Katz-Oz and his delegatioo also reached an accord on youth exchanges with the Soviet Union. Uh^er the agreement, 1,000 chil* dren from each country ndll participate in reciprocal visits. The Soviet youth delegation coming to Israel will include 60 teaB-agers from the Cheroobyl regioo, the scene of a major nuclear plant disaster in April 1986.

Party seeks return of Jewish property By David Kantor BONN (JTA) - East Germany's newly founded Grew Party has urged the authorities to return property confiscated from the Jews by the Nazis before and during World War II. The left-wing, environmentalist Greens emphaaiaed last week that the Jews' property had never been returned to its owners despite the anti-f asdat rhetoric spouted by the old
Communist leadership. The demand comes amid the most revolutionary changes in the German Democratic Republic, whose entire Conmiunist leadership resigned Sunday. Even before this, the changes in East Germany in the last month, culminating in the crumbling of the Berlin Wall, convinced the country's tiny Jewish community it was time to assert itself.

Roots and Branches By MIRIAM WEINER
Books to guide you in researching your family tiistory Interest in Jewish genealogy is rapidly on the increase and Iteeping pace is a new treasure of books. With the help of these new publications, Jewish family historians are learning of the existence of many records once belie\ed to have been destroyed. In A Translation Guide to 19th-century PolishLanguage Civil Registration Documents, author Judith It. Frazin includes tips on locating documents from Polish towns, reproductions of actual Jewish communal dcM?uraents, a method for deciphering difficult 19thcentury Polish script, topical word lists and a step-bystep tutorial on the abstraction of important genealogical information. It is published by the Jewish Genealogical Society of Illinois in 1989. In The Archives: A Guide to the National Archives Field Branches, authors Loretto Dennis Szucs and Sandra Hargreaves Luebking provide an exhaustive survey of the eleven field branches of the National Archives including immigration and naturalization records, census returns, World War 11 war crime documents. World War I draft registration records and numerous other governmental records. Any serious historian ore genealogist who wants to examine or work with the written or pictorial documents in the custody of the National Archives should have this book. It is pubhshed by Ancestry, Inc., P.O. Box 476, Salt Lake City. Utah 84110. The Jewish Community of Frankfurt: A Genealogical Study 1349-1849 by Alexander Dietz (editor: Isobel Mordy), originally published in 1907 (and translated for the 1988 edition), traces the family trees of 625 leading Jewish families of Frankfurt from the fateful year of. 1349, when the Jewish quarter was burned, to 1849 when Jewish emancipation waa achieved. This book of considerable scholarship includes a short history of the Frankfurt Jewish community, illustrations with full pages of street scenes, notable buildings in the Jewish quarter and important artifacts fashioned by the Jewish craftsmen and artists. It is published by Vanderher Publications, Worthyvale Manor. Camelford, Cornwall PL32 9TT, UK.
Genealogical Resources in the New York Metropolitan Area, edited by Estelle M. Guzik and published by the Jewish Genealogical Society, takes the mystery out of genealogical research in New York. More than 100 repositories and libraries are placed at your fingertips in its 400 pages. In addition to listing such basic information as facility name, address, telephone number and hours of operation, the resource guide describes the holdings, geographic scope and time span of records, finding aids, access and copying for each facility. The book is published by the Jewish Genealogical Society, P.O. Box 6398, New York, NY 10128. For those of us with roots in the Soviet Union, genealogy research bias necessitated creative ideas to trace our relatives such as utilizing Soviet telephone books in the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. Access to vital records and on-site research in the Soviet Union is not ciirfently part of "glasnost." Written requests for documents usually results in a "form letter" response after seven or eight months stating, "The records you request cannnot be located." One person who has had virtual unlimited access to Soviet archives is Patricia Kennedy Grimsted, a research associate at the Ukrainian Research Institute and a Fellow of the Russian Research center at Harvard University. Beginning in 1972 with her first volume, Arckives and Manuscript Repositories in the U.S.S.R.: Moscow and Leningrad, and the second volume in 1981 for Lt. da, Lithuania and Belorussia, Grimsted has labored to explain the complex archival system of the U.S.S.R., whfere they are, what they have and for what periods. The third volume covers the Ukraine and Moldavia. Miriam Weiner, certified genealogist, author and lecturer, has prepared a beginner's guide (55 pages) on how to research family history that includes charts, list of archivesAibraries, biblography, maps, family group sheets and more. It can be purchased by writing her at i; '. Sandpiper Key. Secaucus. NJ 07094.

Hanukkah? Or perhaps you prefer Chanuka—but no matter how you spell it, the important thing is to know about it. To have an appreciation for a happy holiday. Of course, it's not without some argument now and then—or maybe I should say difference of opinion. This is the one holiday which really calls attention
,,
to the business of Jewish celebrations comciding with non-Jewish. It isn't anything we're going to discuss here, however. Let's just be friendly and talk about Chanuka (my preferred spelling.) ^^^ ^^ ^^^ buying gifts, or with the idea of gift exchange. I've probably told you this in past years, but when I was a little kid, I mostly remember Chanuka "gelt" being the present. In time, I recall getting certain clothing items (which I happened to need anyway as gifts. It was fun because they were wrapped in tissue and tied with those curly paper ribbons. As I grew up and had a family of my own, the holiday seemed to change a bit. No, the holiday didn't change—our observance changed. In some houses bur children noticed gifts were given on each night of the holiday. In our house, they each got a gift on
the first night. Period. Of course there were other presents from grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, friends, etc. These were often distributed as the candles were added—nightly. As a result of our habit there was a certain amount of "how come we don't get something from you every night?" As I look back, I can only conclude that our practice didn't cause any lasting damage. And being a stubborn woman, I probably wouldn't do it any differently now if I were just raising kids. Anyway, that's a small part of Chanuka. Only when one of my grown children asked for a menorah (as a gift suggestion) did I realize how the lighting of the nightly candles pleased them. When this same young woman said she'd like a new menorah (hers had broken), she said it ought to be brass an4 have a music mechanism which played "Hatik-

vah." This, of course, describes the one we used to have when the kids were all little. So they do absorb some of what we spill all over them in the way of tradition and custom. No matter what kind of adults they become, no matter how much they seem not to practice what we preached, they do, in fact, file this stuff away and bring it out eventually. I can only hope my kids were exposed to enough material to have a good store. 1 hope in our home they saw good examples to always remember. If not, 1 hope they can recaU the many celebrations of Jewish custom and tradition at the home of their grandparents. If we were remiss, certainly the older generation wasn't. So what's it all about, this holiday? I'll leave it to others to tell a Biblical story. To me, it's a happy
time, a family time^ A reason to gather everybody together, whether a gift exchange is a big deal or not. Of course, it's always fun to both give and receive some token 6f friendship or affection (or both), but the being together part is, to me, really important. And this year I'm looking forward to this happy holiday. This year (although my roommate and I don't usually exchange big-deal presents) I'm anticipating the best gift anyone ever gave me. My youngest, together with her husband apd our youngest grandchild, are going to be here for the first few candle lightings. It's been a very long time since we've had the pleasure of watching a pitzel respond to the candles and commotion. So that's why Chanuka/Hanukkah is going to take the prize for outstanding yomtov of the year—at least at our house!
