Mitsvah or responsibility? I bdieve assisting in tl* emigration and resettlement of Soviet Jews is both a mitsvah and community reqionsibility. Soviet Jewish wnigrstjon jun^ from 8,156 fo 1967 to 18,966 in 1969. These figuree are projected to double this year, according to HIA8 (Hebrew Immigration Aid Society.) August 1989, posted a record 6,756 Jewiah emigrants, the highest monthly total in 20 years. ThereMi^now ovo' 30,000 Jews in ItalyAvaiting to come tomUnited SUtee. It is exdting to witness one of the world's most difamatic eveNip in recent times. It is a mitsvsh to provide a Jewish fsmily an opportunity to obtain reUgioua and economic freedome tlMy have never known. There are, however, many cultural and social diffsrenoee that seem to play a prominent role in the adjustment of Soviet Jews in the United States. Whfle gabiing freedom throui^ the immigration process, there ere socompanyuig feelings of vulnerability, and loeaee or separations, libeae fe^ogs, coupled with poesibie iaolatimi due to the language barrier, may produce some added stress to the physical rsioeatiocL (A more oomprdiensivs ensIysiB of tUs edQustment wM be the subject of a subaequcnt piece.) For present purposes, it is our community snd per sdnal reqwosibflity to aid theee famiUea hi tiwir adjjastment to our western culture snd to the Omaha community.

Unmasking domestic violence
Torah weekend It ia poesible for one Coosovative Jew to eat a brand of dteese tjiat is made without rabbiiuc BiqMrviaiQn although a fellow C<Hi8ervative Jew affiliated with another synagogue is not allowed to eat that cheese. This aituatioa is not only possible, but is entirely acceptable in Conservative Judaism because it's up to the congtegatiooal rabbi to make decisions regarding kashrath and opinions may vary. However, neithw of the two Jews is allowed to take that cheese and melt it on a hamburger, quipped Rabbi Joel Rodi during Beth El Synagogue's recent Torah Weekend. Rabbi Roth. proCBsaor of Talmud and Rabbinks at the Jewish Theotogkal Seminary, utfliaed his visit to Omaha to explain Conservative Judaism to this city's Conservative Jews. jHe pointed out that anthentic Judaism rests on four underpinnings: the mitsvoth are command mtnts. not onfy obligatory but mandatoy; that ita 19 to rabbi/scholars to interpret Halaeba (Jewish law); that Jewiah law allows for pluralism, and that Jewiah law ia avolutionaiy. Although Conservative Jews are committed to all four, Orthixlax foUow the first two sad Reform the last two, he added. Having said that, he interjected the allegatioo that most Cooservativ* Jews do not obey Jewish law. As a way of enoooragiag mof« coogMganta to pursue the mitzvoth, RabU Seth rBoonuuBdded that congregatkios start awarding plaqnes or reoognition for the best (^dly mingran, for outstanding isligious growth and for being a role modsL Conversely, be recommwiderf sanctions such as boycotts sgainst those who violate the prindplee of Jewiah law causing unnecessary haidahi|> for innoceat pai^ tiea; specifically someone who nfaaes to permit a spouae a^Jewlsh divorce wlthodt good nssCn. iBabbi Roth, who also is chsirmsn of the Committee oil Jewish Law snd Stsndarda of the RsbUnical Assembly, discussed some of ^the itens now on the Committea's agnda.

Each individual can do something, be it writing a check, v<dunteeiing for a hotUne, educating oneself or just talking about the issue.

Paraahat Temmah Where did aU the gold come from? I remember that our teacher, whm I was a smaU boy in Heder, demanded that each of us in the class go throu^ the list of materials given at the beginning of our Sidrah, materials that ware to be uaed in maUng the Tabemaele, the Sanctuary of the WOdemess. So each of us had to know the En^^Uah meaning of each of the words, "gold, silver and bronze, bhie and purple and acarlat stuff, etc, etc." I can't recdl that any of us asked the obvious queetkm: Where in the world dkl aU that good atuff come from, in the wilderoeas? If we had asked, the anBwer would have been, that just before the last plague, the Israelitee were to go to the Egyptiana and aak of them (more Hkely, damaad), gokl and aflver and other good things—so that whm the timeoune for contributiona, the Israelites had precious thinga ready, at hand. Tbi ethical qoeetion that quickly riaea ia anawarad in a numbar of «iya. An aaQtnt.-Jfwiab. aouroe has it that tua waa a Und of "lepuationa," payment for afi tha jreara —oenturiea—of wqiaid labor. Dr. Hertz, in bis excellent commentary, leads withMa chin on this one. He aeee the "stripping" of Egj^ aa reaUy a favor to ^Egyptians—since now thty had paid for an thU labor and would not be looked at as greedy oppressors. But Hertz's ex-
l^anation is based on a labored grammatical diacussion which simply is not cogent. My own impression is that we have here an example ot a prpceea wfakh will not go down weU for more eon^ervative readers of the Bible. The prooees is one of preparing an along for the answer to the queetion. Where did aU that gold coma from? In Qod'e promiae to Abraham about hia deacoidants being enalaved and than leaving the land of bondage, there is included the idea that they ahoukl leave with great wealth. Fuc ther, at tlie departure in Moees' time, the people are commanded to "demand" paymoit. Thua the question that anyone miji^t have, about where aU these tUngi came from, is already answered. My fanpreaoton than is that the writer who ia prepared to speak of an elaborate sanctuary carefully antidpatae tha problem and numagea to write in the aaawar in advance. .: Frw»tfita,poh>fcaf>yiaw the Scripturee are net divfaMiy dictated, butrather are tihe work of wonderlUly akniful writara, t^ giously driven. In thia sense they are "divinely in^ared." We may aee theae Scripturee aonw' what difimntly from the way our immediate or endent ancestors aaw them. But our love for them is not diminished by the angle from which we view thwn
