Exon urges changes to improve economics

Aworicofart This is a very personal story involving a lovdy lady who resides at the Rose Blumldn Jewish Home. Her name is Ricklie Hoyt and although most women are reluctant to disclose their age, Mrs. Hoyt has no such reservations. She will celebrate her 95th birthday on April 15. And Omaha will be celebrating wiUi her. For the past tevotd years, Mrs. Hqyt has beeo suggesting to her many friends that th^y keq> April 1M5, open as ahe plans to have a one-woman art show at the Jewish Community Center oo her 100th birthday. "At that time, I'D have enough paintiiiga to show and I'd like all of my friends to stop by and eMbnbe with me." Not one to let the days slip by, Mrs. Hoyt has been dipping her brush into watercolors for the last 16 years or so and hat works have covered a wide range from scenics to greeting cards. She has partk^Mted in many art shows in the gaOeiy of tlie Jewish Ootnmonity Center and her greeting cards are excellent sdlers at the gift shop in the Rose BhimIdn Jewish Home. Her room is the present depository for most of her paintings and when her show takes Idao^ the art work win come off her walls and ledges and hang proudly for all to see at the JCC. Hie big news is that the community wiO ioot have to wait until 1995. A few of Bfrs. Hoyt's friends paranacUd her to have tbe show earlier becwise they j)lim to leave Omaha and thsgr didn't want to take a chnoe on missing the Ccnteoi^ event. Mrs. Hoyt, at first unsure that the tinoing was ap; propriate, finally pot her friends at ease by agreeing to moveiq> tbed^ In behalf of bar many friends, I am happy to BDaoance that Sieklie Hoyt's OBft-woman, lOOth-anniveraary art show win tdw piaoe AprillMO in the gaUay of the Jew' iah Community Center.

Pan^ VayakhalPekade Paraahat HaHodsah The wealtk and the gkry The Bode of Exodus, as it brings to an end the account of the conatruction of the Tabemade of the Wiklemeea, ta%usthat a ckmd of the l4|B|a ^ory rested over thenhabemacle, and Hia very presence filled the aanctuary. One of the commentators suggests that this waa a fuller indication of the Lord's presence than there was in the Tenq>k of Stdomon, and very much more tiian there was in the Second Tenqde. On the other hand, in inverse proporticm was the expenditure of treasure on these three Sanctuaries. Ahhou^ the account in theee last chapters of Exodus teDs us that there was a considerable amount of gold in Uw Sanctuary of the Wldemess, we know that it was nothing compared with theTe^^e of S(riomon. And the Second Temple, rebuilt by Herod the Great (and bifamous) accmding to his Roman standards and in the opalenoe of his reign, wss even m(»« splendid in architecture and q)pnrtenanoeek It was worthy of a fine Roman structure for the worship of God. If you have stayed with me this far, you can easily guess what ia coming. Our commentator quickly made his point. Not the splendw of the structure, not the wealth eqMnded in in constructing it, but the purpose, the spirit, the sincerity of the worshqMrs, the devotkn and the dedicatkn of the uaars account for the preaence of the Lord on a aanctuary.

Ntme of this should imply to any reader that we ouig^t to be contmt wit second-grade, mean houses of worship at « time when taste and competence permit beauty and grandeur. "Worship the Lord in the beauty (rf ho}iUMS." It is only that we must never let the grandeur and the wealth blot out the quest for God's presence—for the glory that filled the ancient Sanctuary of the Wilderness.

the magnificent Temple Sotomon had built: "I have heard your prayer and your sni^licatton... I have hallowed this house which yon have built....If you will walk before Me, in integrity at heart and in uprii^itnees, then I wiU estdtUsh the throne of yoor kingdom over Israel forever... But if you turn away from folkwing Me. than wOl I cut Israel off... "(I Kings 9) In an rdigkns and bi all ages, those involved in creating housee of worship will do well to cootenqjilate the "IF" in the passage from~Kbig8 we have cited. It ia a reminder against smugness and alrighteousness, a plea and a demand for the real, the genuine, and a searching of the heart for Its secret motivations.

The congressman critidied Bush's Mardi 3 remark equating Jewish settlement in East Jeruaalem and the West Bank.

Some beUeva tiiis is the sop the Rossisns have thrown to the Arahe, who have been protesting the hnmigrstiaa as a #hole. At this end, Israelis are rising magnificently to the challenge. Thousands have come fannrd to render volunteer servioee, seekhig in every poeeible waj^ to ease the abaorption and integration of the newcomers. Veteran fanuue "adopt" new inunigrant temfliee, on a one to one basie, introducing them into the new environment, llie newcomers have arrived with no more than their suitcasee, and there is a need for basic equipment. Some eent ahead cratee of their larger personal bekmg^ ings, which will arriva here many months later. The aidharitiee provide a bed and bed ck>thing, a taUe, a chair per person snd a sum of money with which the imudgnmte can acquire other needs, inrhiding food. But there is greet need far more furniture, toys, Idtchenware, etc Much of theee are being contributed on a privato baaia by Israeli CamOiee.

Many of the needs sre of a type which can be met only by warm and understsnding mends.

Ambition and initiative were stifled. In (me case which came to my attention, a highly skilled phjrsidan, who somehow elipi^ throni^ tin vohmteer networlc, sat in his room hsM, with his table, bed and chair, and waited for a job.

Editor's Note: Barks IBgh Sdkool seniov Alan Kiicafekt aon of 6r. and Mra. Bany Kricafeld, wen aeeowlpfaKeia the EBghStteolDlviiian of tike Martin Lnther ffing, Jr., Eeeay Contest Hie wbttbg foOows. As a diild, everyone haa Ibeen told at leaat once hy his mother or father, "It's tfane to come home."

I Our family is our hope. Alan Kiieafeld The only way to atop druge, prejodioe and ganga ia to educate chfldnm. Education ia the one and atiy weapon chUdren can uss to defend themeaivee down tiie long (and sometimes cruel) path of Ufa. TIM beet place to educate the diOdnn ia vt hana^ when tfacgr are ycwng, iiupreeefanaUe md wilBng to Ustcn to the^ pnente. Most Americans, hke Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., have a dream that aU people wiU truly be treated equally. Since young childnn are so fai^reeeionable, parcote mnat aet a good exanqde for then: children. If Mommy and Daddy are prejudfaed, chtncce ar(( little Johnny win be prejudiced alao. An parante must explain to their childmi that aU people are good, no matter what race, reiigka or cotor thiy han>en to be. Granted, not aU parante believe thia baaic truth themselves. Therefore, when parente say one thing and do another, children wiU inevitably ignore the lecture and follow their parente' bad Likewise, education is eeeential to break the vicious dida of drugs snd gangs. Children must be tsug^t drugs, sll^ugs, sre iUegal, be instilled irith the deeire to leam, and be nurtured and prodded along the eteep and radiy path of knowledge by their parents. Again, to eay one thing and do' another wiU harm the child more than he^ him. Parente are obligated to teach their chiUren about the harm drqai MB.i^ and about the Plegal activitiee (audi as drag eeUing and shoodngsl of street gangs. For wcaint4e,just last year, two star bsshetbaO players that attended a local high achool are caugjbt with cocaine and suspended from the teem. In addition, over the yeara, bow many qxirte horaee and musie legends hsve died from drugs? Jimi Heodrix, Janis JopUn, Keith Morrison, and more recently, Lenny Biaa, the young baakstbaU player who died from a cocaine overdose on the night he eigned a multi-mfllfan doUar contract with the Boeton OelticB, are just a faw of many eiamplee.

Bfkur Cholim continues to nelp those in need Bert Lewis

While driving tluough a residential naighboriiood the other day, I noticed a large, hand-lettered aign in aomebody's yatd. It read: "Wish Jeff a Happy Birthday. Today he's 301(1" There really were three ezdamatiai points, because to whoever wrote it, reaching 30 was obvioiuty a big deal I thought to mysdf at tto time, let's see, do I even rememb«' what it Mt Uke to turn 90? No exclamation points, please. Later that day, I read a little piece of poetry somehody had compoeed about her child celebratihg the arrival of his 30th birthday. Her commenta were directed at her own reactioii to this aumkious age, not the child's reactioiL Now that nuMle me thmk. Suddenly, I remembered dearly how I fete when my eldest reached his tUrd decade. I recalled that it botboed me a lot nwre than it seemed to bother him. Either he should have received an Academy Award for Nonchalance or heteally didn't' attach a great deal of importanoe to the entire program. I, an tae other hand, fdt some special rite of passage had occuned—my first4x«m had really left youtii behind and was now An Adult Whatever that meant I ihtak that was essmtially the attitude I ezperkiaced when the Ug TUrty became my own age. I ought to havs felt Uke an addt... Ood knows I was one ^ only two growB-tqM in oar house and the other four individuab were little Idda. I wasn't aUowed to fed like a kid aitymore. For one thing, who had time? lliere was always something iriiieh needed doing if we were to stay in reasonably good sluqw. Today, many SO-yearHDld women stay home to ndse Uds, have frieiids their own age who aren't even married, never mind playing the role of parent. It's differ•nt BOW, babig 80. ^Hien I was that age, most eveiyone was in tlie same boat We were raising kids, oonqdaining about how ffloeh we had to do, how little time there ma to do it and wcndiring about anybody who managed better than we did. And we bdfeved we were inventing bnnd new wonderful ways to make thoee Uds into esoeptkmal adults. Hal Con^Mred to the 1990 young woman, iriMther she's SO or a bit older, we didn't have it too hard. Some of today's crop most rise at dawn, get the Idds iq>, dreesed, fed and to the'sittcr before she fliee off to whatever she doee an dsy. When I thhik bade to my life at SO, I must admit it waant all that bad. I sometimes didn't get makeiqi on ontfl dinner time and my outfit for the day was Mlver a dress fca>euccess suit witfimatdihigpunys. It WBS more Iflniy to be whatever pants and top were handy when I dressed (jeans and sweatahirts weren't yet the ui^orm for Moon). There is one thing I have to own up to, however. We didn't know thoee Uds we were raising would grow up to be the Baby Boomers. It's a good tUng, too. If there had been a hint of anythmg different, we wouM have probably suffered total malt-down. So lisCsn, you 30-year-oid people. It's no big deal It's just an age—a number. Don't sweat it. Take it from me, it's going to get a lot more traumatic than SO.

fiy Bert Lewie When Mary Wine and Sylviii Ross transfimd funds from the ti«a»ary of the Bikur ChoUm Oinriisatkm to the Jewish Family Service agency ol tiw Jewish'Federrtkn of Omaha, they were writing a final cfaqiter to a A8-year history. That was the period of timei during i^feh that women's diaritable society functioned in Omaha. The deeds they did could fiU a book. Accnding to reputable records, the Bikur Choliiki Sodety was orgsnisad in October of 1927. The first president was Mrs. Sophie Neveleff, vice-president was Mrs. Ffaikle, secretary was Mn. EDdn, recording secretary #a8 Mn-Barson and treasurer wss Mrs. Seiner. There were 13 members (phis officers) on ths board of directors and three ooo^ mittees: the Hospitsl Committee, the Flower Committee and the Home Visiting Committee. Each had five members. The group met once a numth at the synagogue cm 25th and Seward and the dues wen mx> a year. By 1929 there was a membership of 586 people-533 in good standhig. "Ills original purpose of the eodety waa "friendly visiting to the skk, the provislan of kosher food whars required" end ultimately eipanded to providing funds for ivit, medical care and iriierever generally needed. That was the beginning. Throughout the yean, many Jewiah women in this community continued to support the i^Md work of the group, thoufl^ other cnxAtakJemm in irrirtanfo

Then were programs, entertainmcBt daases teaching various crsfts snd always special attention to the residents aa individuals, not just the "folks who live St the Home." In addition to tiie Sier projects, there was continuous he4> wlienever and iriarever necesssiy.

Our first meeting was with Congreaaman Hoafljand's aide, Stephanie Cohen, who reinforced Peter's support of Israd and issues concerning Soviet Jews and Israel as a strong ally to the United States. Ste^ianie then escorted us to meet Congressdtto Hoaglsud who, at the time, was sitUng hi on a HUD hearing where Jack Kemp was testifying. He was excited to meet us and see young people with very real concerns regarding political issues. He reiterated his continued siqiport for Israel We were unable to meet with Senators Exon and Kerr^ who were m recess; however visits ware set up with their aides. It wss nice to see these indiyiduala'knowladgsable of the issues aurrouading larad. We expanded their knowledge regarding the resettlemeot of Soviet Jews into Israel and the lack of direct flights. The flights they do have are booked through Januny 1991. We expressed the need {or a $400 million loan guarantee to Israel to help in the resettlamaot proceea, and stressed the fact that Israal has not defaultad on any loan with the United States. We also

Upon return from Capitol Hill our ckieing plenary was an address from Secretary of Defense Richard Chenoy. He reinforced the United States' continusd support for Israel. Secretary Cheney also commsnted on the fact that the United States "^at«^ ties were doeer tiian tijey ever were." The tiip proved to be a luoiivating experience.

By Hugh Orgel TEL AVIV (JTA) The wave of Jewish emigration from the Soviet Union may turn out to be far larger tiian Israeli officials had snticipated. Israeli authorities are issuing invitations to Soviet Jews contemplating sUyah at the rate of 2,600 a day, officials here report. In Moscow, the Isradi consular delegation is swamped, now that most barriers to emigration have been lifted. As many as 1,200 people wait in line outside to apply for Israeli visas. "We are talking about an exodus. The slip's the limit," a senior offidal told reporters here. A total of 90,000 Jews will leave the Soviet Union in 1990, and officials expect 50,000 of them to come to Israd. They bass that astimate, in part, on ths 50,000 calling ths United States has idaoed on the nnmber of Soviet refogses it will admit during this fiscal year.

ing because glasnost has allowed anti-Semitism to flourish.

Soviet Jews also fear that President MikhaU Gorbschev's grip on Isadership is becoming shsky. Thiey want to leave before reforms that have benefited them are reversed. Jewish emigration also has faeem spurred by the ethnic unrest and the rise of Islamic fundamentalism b the Soviet Asian Republics. The rapid departure of 260,000 Jews living in those areas would tw given top priority, officials here said. It is now believed here that the Jewish population of the Soviet Union has been ondercounted and that thwe is a far largw base for emigration. While the Soviet census esrimatee 1.8 millioa Jews, the trtie figure is believed to be between 8 million and 3.6 ndUko. Israel expecta 760,000 to come to larael in the next six years.
