"It seemed Uke a natural," said Mrs. Hasalingec "Steve and his wife, Bunny, are Whchairmwi of the 'Challenge' group.

The Super Sunday Telethoa marks the official dose of the 1990 UJA/Federatfan Canqwign.

"Chariie Epstein, associate director of the Federation, spoke to the 'Challenge' group on the difference betireen charity and tiedakah," wiplainwi Mr. Rothsnberg. "That was Part One. Part Two
was to include the practical application of this knowiedgB—in this case, serving aa a caller fm Super Sunday." "Fund^aising is not a dir^ word," said Mr. Epstein. "It's something very special in Jewish life. The act of tr4»dakah is, in fact, a holy act—a mitsvah. "Federations sra ddng the best job of hei^ifatg pec)ple to perform that mitzvah," he cootfamed. "The Federation Campaign is clearly the most effective exercise of tsedakah in the Jewish community. |t is not intended to replace other important Jewish valuee such as synagogue participation and meettog
social oUigatiaos, nor can it be replaced by them. "People who remove themselves from the system as it now eiists lessen the efieetiveness of the Jewirii community and its ability to mset its overwhelming communal "Those people who continue to ghre tndakah and call iqion other monbera of the Jewish community to give their J9st share deserve praise," sakl Mr. Epstein. Those who run Federation campaigns and raise the money necessary to serve the needs of the Jewish community fulfill one of Judaism's hij^t values, the mitzvah of tzedakah.' "Hwee potential leaders

Keyes receives new material documenting PLO activities In the midst of the government crisis over Ezer' Weizman, Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir of Israel took time out last week to meet with Dr. Alan L. Keyes, regarded as one of Israel's foremifat advocates in American public life, to give him newly declassifiejl material documenting PLO terrorist acts committed since the so-called "historic declaration" in December 1987 in which Yasir Arafat allegedly eschewed terrorism. Dr. Keyes, a former Assistant Secretary of State and close aide to UN Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick, begins a nationwide speaking tour in mid-January under the auspices of The Harry Walker lecture bureau. Dr. Keyes told Israel radio following his six-day fact-finding mission to Israel:' "I was deeply impressed by this material," he said. "I intend to make good use of it in my public lectures around the country, and also in conversations with people in Washington." Dr. Keyes was the first non-lsraeU to receive the Israeli documentation, which indudes factual mar terial on the role of Al. Fatah—the PLO branch peraooally commanded by Arafat-rin anti-Israel ter
Alan Keyes rorism during the past year. Prime Minister Shamir personally urged him to make the material known both to the American government and the American public, he said. A fellow-visitor to Israel last week was Archbishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa, and in his Israd radio interview Dr. Keyes rejected the South African bishop's comparison of Israel with South AfricaAsked for his opinion about Archbishop Tutu's comparison of Israel with the apartheid regime in South Africa, the American visitor said: "The situation in South Africa is a domestic one in which the majority peculation is denied full representation. The situation in the West Bank and Gaza is an international cooflkrt The protesten are not dtiiena of larad who are denied their rights but dtizena of Jordan, who are

denied any form of democracy and the ri^t to participate in Jordanian government affairs. "There is a true parallel," he said. Dr. Keyes also rejected a role for the PLO in the Middle East peace negotiations. "The PLO," he said, "is not a valid interlocutor, for the PLO cannot deliver the quid pro quo of a durable peace agreement."

The U.S.-lsraeli strategic relationship: why it endures (ContiBiied from Page 1) --
2000 and beyond As the pages of the calendar flip ever so quickly, one can only speculate and wonder at the condition of the world in the year 2000. Just a short time ago, those who are in the business of predicting speculated as to the precarious future for Planet Earth. Nuclear weapons, over-population, disinterest in the ecological balance and total disregard for unified solutions to problems contributed to an almost fatal prognosis for Earth. As the 'SOs drew to a cloee, it seemed as if man had reached the pinnacle of idiocy—man possessed the technological power and the unthinkable willingness to destroy every species (including homo sapiens) on the planet. Suddenly, hope obliterated the fatal sunset and unleashed the power of freedom in Eastern Europe. Dictatorships were toppled, and a semblance of reason descended on most of the planet. Suddenly, there is hope—hope that man finally is allowing brain cells to catch up with silicon cells. With 10 billion people projected for early in the next century, mankind appears ready to take on the responsibility of feeding, clothing, and caring for the impoverished. The technology eziats. The desire to change from animalistic behavior to the podtive side of mimkind seems to be risiiig on the agenda. As we move so quickly towud 2000, many of us will be in the grandstand cLea lug woridleaiki son to proper dedsiaa-making. Oar direct role in solving the world's proUems mosilikdy will be minimaL After all. what can we honestly do as individuals about the far-flung reaches of the worid? Where we can play a more tnfhiantial and satisfying role is in the improvement of our own Jewish comnmnity. Let's make this a decade of involvement. Raise the money needed. Prioritize the goals of the community, and make certain that all that can be done is done. A thriving Jewish conununity in Omaha can help worid Jewry and also make Omaha a better phice to live. If we can keep oursdves strong and bdp others make this a better community, we set an example of leadership that will be a model fw others. Lrt's catch this breath of hope now crossing the ocean and use it to chum our own energy toward making the next 10 years the best 10 years for the Omaha Jewish community.

crew rest after hmg times at sea in dangerous ateas of Libya and Lebanon. Furthermore, Israd and the U.S. share intelligence information regarding the ever-present threat of ter rtHism. Since it is only through international co<q>erative efforts that terrorism can be defeated, this relationship is of great importance to the Free World. We are also cooperating in research for the Strategic Defense Initiative, over which I have jurisdiction as Chairman of the Senate Strategic FOTcee and Nuclear Deterrence Subcommittee. This research could hdp defeat an attempt to launch a single nuclear or chemical weapon mounted on a ballistic missile sgainst us or Israel by a mn^lmiiti such S8 Ksdlufy in Libya. While the Israeli government has been divided of late, and our differences over how to handle the Palestinian question have been frontiiage news, it would be instructive to ponder for a mcMnent iriiat the Middle East would be like today if Israel did not exist or had been defeated in an earlier conflict. There would be no true multi-party democracy in the area and there certainly would be no peace. The Middle East, one of the WOM'B strategic crossroads as well as its oU capital, would be left in the hands of warring factions. Iran is still in the grip of re^ous fanatics. Syria . executes its internal political c^piments and has never given up its decades'^ld dream of incorporating Lebanon. Libya's Kadhafy would have little counterbalance except for Egypt, which paid a hi^ price of Arab disdain for ovOT 10 years due to signing the Camp David Accords. Iraq would again be tempted to rejuvenate its territorial ambitions and the Jordanian state could very Well become an endangered species. Finally, envision a Palestinian state which would undoubtedly be led by a "President" Yassir Arafat. This is why legislation requiring the Presklent to submit reports to Congress on the U.S.-PLO "dialogue" to ensure cooqiliance with ivomises regarding and end to terrorism and recognititm of Israel's light to exist is so inqxvtant Another bill to prohibit the United States bom making further contributions to the United Nations if it grants full membership to a unilaterallydedared Palestinian state also is pending and have the dedred effect. President Bush concurs with tids tpproach and a move to seat the "state of Palestine" has been stopped at least for now. HM Palestinian issue does need to be resolved. Unfdrtunatdy, since the high hopes of Camp David in 1979, vety little concrete progress has been made. Both sides need to show more fle]dbility and serious negotiations must begin. HopefuUy the current Isradi and Egyptian p<diticd initiatives, with the United States hss a hdpful partner, can bear fruit. However, just ss it takes a strong United States to
negotiate suoeessfillly with the Soviet Unkn. it takes a strong Israel to nsgotiate su«»essfully with her Arab nei^ibors W1K> outnumber her many tinMS over in people and weapons and surround hsr geographically. With strength and fleadbQity, and with the involvement of the United States, Israd and her neighbors can negotiate successfully for peace in a troubled region. We tdl hope and pray that day comes soon.
Jehan Sadat discusses movement toward peace By Monris MaUne Anwar Sadat's widow said in Omaha Wednesday that she is optimistic over the movement of the world toward peace. > . Qr. Jehan Sadat, a visiting professor at American Univerdty in Washington.D.C. and the Univerdty of South Carolina, spoke to more than 600 attending a luncheon sponiKved by The Center f<nr Human Nutrition at Peony PariL She said her lecture tour is giving her an opportunity to pursue her god of establishing a library in Cairo whkh would be dedicated to the Ufe of her late husband. The late preeklent of Egypt, she said, made the greatest deddon a statesman could make when he went to Jerusalem and made peace with Israel She add that first step wss unprecedented in the history of mankind and is matched only by what is hq>^ pening in Eastern Eiirope today. He also took politicd and economic steps in Egypt to further democracy, to improve the economy and to ensure the people's tealisation of peace, she added. The peace initiative with Israd repteeents the "best of what he has done" and now wherever she go^ she is asked whether the great ezpectstkos have bwn justified, she said. Mrs. Sadat described psace as a "dynamic" process, not sn end in itself, but s means to achieve peace in terns of human values. She saki there is a "weakness of leadership" in every comer of the Arab WorU and that modds of peace are needed before war can be stopped. She said technoikigy and nndear energy dgnd the beginnfaig of a new era and that with power changes in the Kremlin people are beginning to reaUce that there is sonawthing in the world for everyone.

Sociologist sees non-vloient protests emerging as major poiitipai teclinique By Morris MaHM A Brandeis University sociology professor said Israel must accept a Palestinian state as a sdution to the intifada. Dr. Gordon A. Fdlman, a native of Omaha, told the Jewish Press in an interview that this is "Israel's fateful hour." "The rejectionists no longer are in control of Palestine, and the majority of Israelis fovor talldng to the Palestine liberation Organization," he said. Dr. Fellman, a member of the Brandeis faculty for 26 years, also is affiliated with the New Jewish Agenda and serves as that organization's co-chairman of the National Middle East Task Force. He spent three sabbaticals in Israel and is the author of The Deceived

We are now far enough away from Christmas to dare to mention such things. After an. the Hgjits have been taken down and the trash man has hauled away the last of the trees. It seams odd—but it is natural—that the very same qmibSI whddi is glorious mild hispiring to sMne becomee a symbol of hatefulness and peraecutkm to others. sinq>)y because the qymbol was used, over the centuriee, to arouse various popolatioe>s to hatred, persecutian and massacre. Need I give examples? The subject arisee because of aymbda attached to the tribaa in Jacob's dying blessing. In our Sidrah, Judah, for example, is symholited by Uie ruler's scqpter, Joseph as a fruitful vine. And so on with aU twdve aons. ' Moreover, Jacob's insistence on burial in Israel, not m Egypt, is basteally a powerful symbolic gesture. What real difference could it midce?

And Judah could not permit Jacob to see than, much less ride in them. I take it for granted that ' the rabbis were reading back into this period the oppression, later, by a Pharhoh "who knew not Joaeph." Further, they were reading back the smoldering undercurrent of discontent and resentment that they knew from their own experience under the Romans. There were times when the Romans were solicitous of the religious sensibilities of the Jews of Paketine. But Gthar procurators flaunted pagan rdigious symbols in the streets and courts of Jerusalem. It was not unconvmon for there to be uprisings, riots, massacres, executiona. I make two comments: First, it is important for American Jews to stand firm on the refusal to accept religions symbols on pubUc property at public axpenae; and second, when our nai(^bbora show their religious symbols innocently, on private property-innocently, I repeat^iot aa tfareata—we ouigfat to learn to aee them innooentty, neutral for our aahrea and inapiiing for our neii^ibors.

We don't often concern ouraetvee in this qutce with very important matters. For the moat part I believe in the philoo(q>hy that one or two gig^ee are at leaat as iomtortant as tly>U{^t-provoldng world isauee. Sometimes the sober topic just insists on being discussed— Uketod^jrLet me begin with the old adage idiich proclaim^ "we are our own wont toemies." I think thent's a great deal of troth to that, gBoaralty speaking. Spedfica^r, I think it's a thought wliich we Jews have to be very cautioas about. I believe our history proves we've never had a shortage of enemies. We an know how diligently attempts have beeo made throughout the omtuiies to get rid of us, as a people. From the earliest bible stniiBe to Uiis modem time, somebody has always been rij^t there to try to make trouble. So what's my argument? Well, since there areatways so many to come forward to make us miserable, why do we worii: so hard among ouraelves to do the same thing? Why are.we always arguing among oureelves about thia issue or that? Why should there be snimosity between this group of us or that, when there are always anti-Semites to stoke the fires of dissension? What tlie heck must we argue about between ourselves? -T'We are quick to squabble about tbia branch of Judaism or that—who should sit where and who shouldn't. Who is "clean" and therefore holy enou^ to do this or that. Who should belong to this orgaoizaticm and who shouM be exduded. Unfortunatdy, we could fiU a page with examples of the divisive thinking between us Jews. And why? Aren't there enouj^ out ^ere who cause probloois? Must we aid and abet them? How much tsouris must we be responsible for stirring up? I think about some of the arguments recently brou^t to light right here in Omaha conoeraing the individual Orthodox and Conservative synagogues. Since there have been Jews in Omaha, there have been different places of worship, whether some were in s modest little frsme structure and others in an architectural model of

beauty didn't matter. Tbey eodatad. each for it's own people^ I beHwe that such differences win exist far a kng time to ooms—so nu, what's ths proUem? EcoDonics, of course. But even if the membership is small and the dollars ahort, we will support whichmrer house of worship we chsrish. We're Jews and that's how we do sudi things. And what the beck ia that fine <dd organization B'nai B'ritii aquabbUng dxwt witii B'nai B'rith Women? lUs one says one thing and that one another, aad nope of it excuses the bad feelings caused between tiie groupe (and genders). { have heard the men use the word "equality" over and over hi regard to the ladles operating under the male auqiioee. Personally, whOs the msn prsctkx sny maleonly projects I dkm't think they can throw around ttw wwd "equality" but that's my opinion. More importantly, this isn't nice. We have enough trouble with in'figjiting? Kfaideriach, what doee this look like to the reet of society? HM worst examples no doubt exist in our own Israel— I find it appalling that Jews throw stones at other Jews for any reason. And I don't have ai^ simide answers to all this axoept I tend to believe many diffetenoes codd be settled witii more compromise on both sidee. I've always subscribed to the statnnmt made by old Queoi Victoria: "I don't care what they do, as long as they don't do it in the streets and scare the horses." That is, of course, over-simplifying. What I really believe is this — "do what you cbooee but don't ask me to do it because you think my my is wrcmg." Do what you choose if it doesn't interfere with the ri^ts of others—including me. If it doesn't hurt anybody else. Maybe "live and let hve" says it better. But at least, let's stop this terrible fighting among ourselves. Es nischt shane.
