Beth El hosts Torah weekend How ia Jewish Ufe fadog in modtto times? That •/question wiQ be sxploted WIMD RabU Joel Rotii, FhJD, speaks during the Torah Weekend, FCib. 2325, at Beth El Synagogue. Rabbi Roth is a profeeBot of Tflfflud and Rabb&rics at the Jewish Theological SenMnaty of America. He also serves as chainnan of theCoaomittee on Jewish Law and Standnds of tbs RabMnieat Asseoably. Hu adwlariy woric was inatramsDtal in the Semi&a^'s decision to admit women to the rabUnkal school Modsni times pnaeot a chaUcnge to peofde wiahing to adhere to OMisenra-

tive Jewish law, according to Rabbi Roth. However the rabbi points out that obedience to Jewish law was far more difficult in other times. For instance, adhnring to Rashrat is easier t^ ever, according toRatMRoth. "The simermarkets are fuQ of proffiicte that have been ceKtUtsd as KodMT 80 it is aaidar than ever to adlure to Kaabrat. However modem timeo prsaent a nmiqne challenge to dedaion makars. For instance, they must det«rmine wfaethtr-monodlrt^fjdee .are parve «r not." MQrs RabURoth. Rabbi Roth believes the major obstade to toBoming Jewish law today is

that it is not perceived as socially acceptable. His discussions during the Torah Weekend will alao focus on how the Conservattve ntovement of Judaism differs from the Orthodox and Reform movements. "Across the board, titan are very distinct differ ences, both theoretical and practical, distingniwhing the Conaenrative movement. Wefie a traditional movamnat, wndatwiitaHy committed to tfis aothov ity of JendA law and its evohiticnary nature," says Rabbi Roth.. All Rabbi Roth's talks during the wedcend are open to the imblic without charge.

An exciting way to absorb Soviet Jews

H Finding the money When it cooies to, human rights, the United States stands as a beacon lighting the way for the rest of the worid to follow. Our Statue of liberty is a symbd attesting to the national commitnient to wdcome the oppressed of the worid hito our borders. This commitment has beed carried out strong in recent years with the elevation of human rights to the agmda of top-level meetings between Soviet and U.S. officials. "Free the Soviet Jews" has been the cry of our dtizenry and of our political leaders for many years. Now, success is upon us. The unbelievable has hm>pened. Soviet Jews are leaving the U.S.S.R.in a stream of emigration that over the next few months ooiild beoune a flood of emi(pratkm. So, what does the United States do? In its infinite wisdom, the govammeBt dan^M a lid on the Dumbers of rafogass that win be aOawed to enter the United States from the Soviet Unkn. And if that weren't eopufl^ the government also a^ilied stricter standards to its dassificatimi of refugees. This means that fewer Soviet Jews will be allowed in, and fewer of those allowed in will qualify for financial aid. Theee actions place a ffeater burden <» the financial resources of the American Jewish oommonity, but this is not the migor proUem. The American Jewish community is up to the challwigi and feels that sufficient money can be raised to resettle those Soviet Jews oHXb ing hito the United Statea. The m^or problem is that Israel, the country which win accept an << the reftigeea, re settfa them, teach them Hebrew, provide tbem with houaiiig, jobs and health ears... can't aHbrd the cost. So what does U.S. Senator Robert Dole prapoee: "Cut laraal'a aid hy 1300 miUion." If the United Statea beiieveB that it cannot afford that MOO million to mahitaia ita coaunttmant to human rights, there is wrong thinking somewhere. Wouldn't it malu more aense to use some of that $150 bnUon aamaiksd for the pmtedian of Japan. Korea and Westerp Europe. It's naUy Idnd of siUy.

By JewMa BOIB It was a nice group who came to the Jewish Community Center where the YES group met Feb. IS. I think the winterslesp is over and the pec^le came out of their hiding places. Vivian Kiechel from Lincoln brought the model of the Holociuist McoMrlal to Omaha, aa I requested and exhibited it next to (he entrance of the JCC. Everybody found j/niaing words tar this impressive piece of art, created by the architect, Daniel Whetstone and housed for approximately five years at Mrs. Kiechel's home in Lincoln. We hope that the real memorial will soon find its permanent place at the JCC. After the discussion

hour with Anne Katsman and a very tasty hmch, the YES group listened to an oyeopening spsech Iqr'Bob Wolfeon, director of the ADL of Nebraska. Mr. Wolfson gave ua an account of the rapidly growing number of antiSMnitk eruptions in our country, which, he says, will increase evwy year if nothing draatic is done to cut the hateful acts of the KKK, the Lyndon Larouch gro<q> and othsr racist dusters. He also spoke about the exhibition of religious symbols in public places. Kay Ferer, faithful as slways, gave us the hospital report and we realized we have a great ntunber of pec^ in Omaha who are ill.

Only about 80 miles of river are suitidile crane habitat, accordhig to the National Andobon Society, due to an estimated 70 percent fl6w reduction along the Platte hi central Nebraaka. Additionally, large areas of wetbnds have been dndned and ooaverted into farmland, which dindniahea another food source for the cranee. However, an increased awarenees of man's adverse effsct on the aaniUiill cranee has gierated a commitmeat by many Nebraakans to protect the Platte River... so that our granddiildrep can continue to share in one of Nebraaka's graateet treesaim for years to come.

Fourteen-yearold Bill Cody, who later became famous as Buffalo BUI, was one of 200 "young, shinny fellows, unnuuried" who raced along the rough and dangerous terrain of ube Pony Eqtrees into the pages of history. The Pony Ezpreea was established to provide fast mail service across 1,800 milee from St. Joseph, Mo. to Saeramrato, CaUf. Nebraslca had 37 relay stations during the 16 months from April 1860 to October 1861 that the Paay Express was in existence. One erf the moat famous inddenta along the route occurred at Rock Credc Station near Fairbury. In June of 1861, Wild Bill Hkkock gunned down Dave McCanles, the owner of the station, "deliberately and in cold blood," according to a Nebraska Game and Parlu Comniission publication. The Pony Express followed the Great Platte River Road, the pathway to the west that waa known by a number of namee induding the Oregon Trail, the Overland Trail, the Mormtm Trail, the California Trail and doaens man. Basically, three typee of travalars used the roota A stsady atieam of miUtaiy troope rode the trail oo government busfaMsa, lite aeoood grpiq) induded civilians who made thefr living akmg the trail,such ss freighters, stage lines, telegravhers and the Pony E:qiress Riders. The third grottp was comprised of emigrants headed west to a new life. From 1841 to 1866, s<»>e 350,000 piooeers traveled along the route. Althou^ the daring Pony Ei^tress riders often got through in qiite of such occtqwtioDal hazarda aa Indian upriabigs, bUxxards nA floods, many erf the pkmeers were not so hidcy. Historians estimate that 30,000 people, orneariy 10 percent died durmg their journey. An average of 16 people died per mile; most frwn cholara. Dee^te the large nunmer d fritalitiea, there are very few marked graves. Nebraaka, however, hasasveraL The grave of George ^^nslow, who died of cholera bt 1849 near Fafrbury, is mariced with • atone.

Another ma»sd grave site is that of Amanda Lamin who died in western Ndiraaka in 1860 of cholera near Broadwater.

No trip along Highway 20 would be complete without a stop at the Museum of the Pur Trade near Chadron.
