By David Friedman WASHINGTON (JTA) — Senate Minority LeadoRobert Dole (R-Kan.) came under fire from American Jewish leaders for saying that he would seeli to have the Senate rescind a resoluti<m declaring that Jerusalem is Israel's capital. He also was sharply criticized tm iffipl3nflg that American Jews are selfish in opposing cuts in U.S. aid to Isriid. The Senate resolution, unanimously adopted on March 22, declaim that Jerusalem "is and should remain the cental of the Stateof larad" and thatit "must remain an undivided dty." "I am not sure I can change it," Dole said Sunday in an aiq>earance from Jerusalem on the NBC News television program

"Meet the Press," But he said he had "made a mistake" fa supporting the resolution, because it is hampering the peace process. Dole made similar comments at a news confer^ ence fa Jeriisalem, where he and four other senators on Sunday ended a weeklong fadrfindfag trip to the Middle East that also induded stops fa Syria, Egypt, Jordan and Iraq, In "every Arab country that we visited, instead of talking about the peace process, they wanted to talk about this amendment that has no binding effect, and they are very upset by it" he said. "It sort of kept us from focusing on pushfag the Arab countries to the peace table," he added, Tbe resolution, he sakl, was "probaUy ill-timed." Dole sakl that when the smators met Saturday with JeruiafafaMayoi 'Teddy KoM,iMalso'caticiiad the rtaohition, alth0lBsb^«iiiHiparasalem to be tarael*s eternal capital KoUefctoM the senators that the resdution was meddlfag fa the peace process, Dole claimed. But according to reports from Jerusalem, KoUek fater seat a telagram to Dde denying and eipraae ing surpriae at the «anator's versko of tbair eooversatioo. In fact, KoUak said, rescinding tha Senate reeohition wouU "ham the peace prooeae and encourage Arab extreodafa." Tbe Senate RepobUcan leader also sakl tha White House had not fought tbe reeofatkn. and a aiadiar

one fa the House, because it conskkred it meanfagless. U.S. policy has beoi that the status of Jerusalem should be dedded by negotfations. The United States has therefore refused to move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. The resolution "doesn't mean anythfag" fa terms of law. Dde agreed. "But it means a lot to the Arab countries and, of course, it pleases the Israelis." In Jerusalem, a visiting American Jewish leader criticized Dole on Sunday for his new stance on the resofation, saying it is "an insult to the U,S, Senate, the State of Israel and to the Jewish people," "It is Sen. Dole's perrogative to have a change of heart after visitfag Arab capitals,'' said Abraham Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'litb.

Rabbi's new book presents different view of God A new book by Rabbi David J. Wdpe "j^des doubtful sedcers yearning for a personal relationship with a caring God," according to a review in Pnbliahers Weekly.

Rabbi Wolpe was ordahMd aa a Conservative rabbi by the Jewish Theokigical Semhuoy in 1987.

He is also the editor of Midrash for the Conservative movement's Torah commentary which is now in progress. In a recent address to the Young Leadership Conference of the United Jewish Appeal in Washhigtan,D.C., Rabbi Wolpe said he began to recognize the inqtortance of fMing hia religion, not just underatandfaig it k a ratioiial way.

My dictionaiy listo ten definitions for the word quiet.. The first is "maldng little or no noise," which I find reasonable. I can give you another definition however "a condition which prevails in a house when the grandchild leaves after a visit" A little long perhaps, but trust i^ it's ri^t on target. Five days plus a few hours of a sixth... that's what we had with our little one recently. She filled every co^ ner of every room, whether she was in it or not. Her grandma introduced her to paper dolls and she was instantly enchanted with the game of "you talk for her and I'U talk for the other one." The dialogue she improfjsed k^t the listener in stitches. ' She entertained visiting (paternal) grandparenta one day and totally captivated them with her antics. She also received a huge doU from them and from the moment she went to bed that night, it was her constant companion. Which meant that tucked in with her were her stuffed whatever-it-is, her old doJl and her new one. It made for crowdedcoaditiona but dw didn't comidain. It was a job to shlep them out in the morning, but she handled it. Her mother told her the Passover story, which she found more than interesting. Later, she repeated it for anybody who asked. Her versi(Hi differed just a bit from the Haggadah, but nobody will ever forget it: "Once there was a wicked Sparrow. He wasn't nice to the Jewish people who told him, 'let go of me.' They were called 'sleds.' " Well, sparrow, Pharoah... slaves, sleds, as long as the kid Imows the story, right? It's hard to erase her presence from these rooms. The tiny fingerprints rubbed off the mirrors easily and the last toy was put back in storage for the next grandchild who visits, but the cartoon character bowl conjures up In the case of inclement weather, all activities will be a picture of her, shoveling in heaping spoonsful of cereal held inside the Jewish Community Center building. and telling her grandma, "I don't have a hole in my chin, silly. That's just milk drippin' down." The JCAC i^ excited about this year's Yom Ha'atz"The first morning after she left, I awoke, opened my maut cdebration. The program promises to have someeyesiand lo<d(ed for her in her "special bed." (It has thing for everyone to enjoy.

Earth Day in Israel One thing that allJews have in common ia a little box known by many different names, but usually referred to as pushke or pishke. This small container is usually kept in the kitchen and family members deposit coins to be used for tzedaka. V Money set aside in even the poorest of Jewish house^ holds went to benefit everything from widows and oiphans to the resettlement of Jewish refugees from Turiuty in the Land of Israd. According to Leo Rosten, in his book The Joys of Yiddiah, one boiefactar of pushke beoevolenoe was the Jewish Chidnn Raisers in Kankakee recently bankrupted by the ravages of Red Tide among Rhode laland roosters. Extremee aside, periiaps the best known use of pushke fundraiaing is the Uttle Uue box which for many decades has provided the means for the Jewish Natiooal Fund to redeem and reclaim tlte Land of Israel On the box are tlie woida, fluke the wfldsneaa bloom, and all of ua realize that this is exactly what Israel has done m the past and will eodeavor to do in ^ future. Planting trees hi Israel is an obsesaioo. One could say with a hi^ degree of truthfulness that Jews always have been concerned about the welfare of the Earth and always have taken pains to ensure the quality of human existoice. So now, there is a book out called 60 Smple Things Yoo Can Do to Save the Earth. HW book is easy and interesting reading and includes himdreds of simple things that each of us can do to make the Earth a healthy place to live. Point 39 of the 60 for example eiqilains that planting a tree is a way to fight the greenhouse effect. Ilie chapter pdnts out that in some parts of the wwld deionatation is proceeding at a break-a-way pace. So planting a tree fai one's backyard or in a forest in Israel is a n^le thing for Jews to do. In today's issue, thov is news about the Omaha Jewish community's celebration (rf Yom Ha'Atunaut w^iidi inchidee the planting of trees in Israel and some mention of how the family of Sid Wintroub celebrated her recent birthday by planting 100-phis chai trees in Israd.

Friedel Academy nurtures Jewish spirit, education By Jo Carnril

The snull oemcnt twUding that sitt bcdt from that street on Pacific Avenue bdies the cheerful halla and colorful wall decorations that greet visitors to the Friedel Jewish Acadenqr. The building began life as part of the Omaha Public SdmA (OPS) system, next it was a Montessori school that offored Hebrew dasses and then it was a Jewish day schod. Since 1987 it has been the Friedel Jewish Academy. The Academy offers traditional subjects such as math, reading, social sciences, computer sciences, in additiw to Hebrew language classes and Hebrew stumes. Jody Goldstein is the principal. Her unassumming office is a hall between classrooms stacked with books, papers and mementos of past and prMent pupils. Mrs. Goldstein, who is work^ toward her Ph.D in administration, had a daughter attending the Academy when she was approached by an outside agency to take the job as principal. She was teaching in pubUc school at the time. "I had just finished going through all the cus-

tomary Christmas, programs, and rthoui^ 'Oh, to be in my own Jewin atmosphere,' " she said. Mra. Goldstein still keeps in close touch with the teachers and adnoinistrators from her days with OPS. She rdated a phcme called she had received just Uw other day from her former princ^ML He had called to asked her what techniques she used to handle fighting on the playground. She t<dd him she (^ not have that problem at PriedeL The day starts for the student at Friedel with prayer, where the pledge of allegiance is said, cMdrot use hand made prayer books and a patriotic song, such as "America" or "This Land is Your Land" is sung. The classrooms are given Hebrew names. Eilat is the kindergarten and first grade room. Beersheve is the seomd and third grade, and Tflbesiaan is for the fourth, fifth and sixth graders. Mrs. Goldstein emphasized the safety of the setting at Friedd. She said, "There are no gangs or drugs to w(HTy about. Parents don't need to be concerned about their children

Pnakient Chatan Hersog of Israd was surprised but not diqileased to leam MjifU; the e-foot-hic^ stone monomoit is engraved with a quotation from a speedi he delivered in Td Aviv several years ago. The occasion was the convention of Jewish vdnnteers of the International Brigade, which fon«^t on the side of RepubUean %>ain agdnat the nationalist rebds led by Generalissimo Frandaco Franco and supported by Hitler and MussolinL The quotation, in Spanish, reads: "The'Victdiy of fascism in $pain paved the way tot Hitler uid led to the annihilation of human dignity. Fifty mOlion people, edx million of them Jews, paid with their lives. "HcKKV is due to the thousands of vdunteera who, arms inhand, tock a stand here against fascism. Tliere were many Jews, among them Haim Heraog. prukient of Israd." The President's Office said it would have preferred the engraver to have spelled the president's first name corredJy, "Oudm." The memmial was built fglU>wing the mitiative of a Belgltin Jevr; Oov lieber man, now 80, who wanted to let history know of the Jewish preeenos in the fight against fascism.

ByEknaN^unaa NEW YORK (JTAl New York Mayor Oavid Dkklna defended Jease Jackaon, Nelson Mandela and Bishop Desmond Tutu, while at the aame time critiddng Israd for its relations with South Africa, in a recent speech. "In truth, there has never been an absdato consensus between our two oommimities," Dtaikins sakL "What we have had is a remarkable degree of agreement on the enda we seek, if not dways the means by which we wodd arrive at those ends." The mayor was addteeaing a select crowd of prominent Jewish and black community leaders, who were assembled at Hebrew Unicm College to view B new photo documoitary exhibit, "Blacks and Jews: the American Ej^erience, 1664-1989." While Dkikins made reference to Uie "historic alliance" between bUdc and Jewish Americans—induding the 1909 formation of the NAACP, the dvil rights cases of the 19408 and '60s, the '60s marches and the deaths of Schwemer, Chanq^ and Goodman—he also addressed eome of the black podtions and issues that have been sore points in the black-Jewish rdatit»-: ship. ' The issue of Jesse Jack-

son's attitttdee and vari008 public Mataments about Jewa haa ban of partkular oonoam to Mws natkmwida, as ^rdl as in New Voric WhilaDinkfais admitted that Jewiah apprehenakn over Jackson's "Hymie-' town" remaAs "is understandable," he aakl that the bladi poUtfadan had "humbled himadf'at tbs 1984 Democratk: Natfamd Conventum. "It is not productive to continue to raiae iasues for whUi Reverend Jadcson haa apob>gized," the mayor said. Dinkins also defended South African Uad leaders Ndaon Mandda and Bishop Desmond Tutu, both of whom recently upset the American Jewish community by equating thestroggjles of the Pakethiiftna and black South Africans. Mandela, shortly after his reieasa fran prison, made a public appearance with PLO leader Yasir Arafat. "It is kgitimato for Jewe to be concerned about those oomments, and to sedc a didogue on this and other issues," Dinkins sakL "But, displeasure with the'oomments can be expreesed in a w^y that will not lead to any interpretatwn that the Jewidi community is displeased with the antiaparthdd struggle."

Krinsky denied reports that Schneerton had telephoned his disdples and instructed them to take such action. "Hieydidnot speak to the rebbe," Krinsky said flatly. Instead, Krinsky said that a call came into Lubavitch headquarters in Brooklyn, asking if the rebbe still opposed ceding territory in a peace agreement with the Arabs— which the Labor Party strongjiy advocates. Schneerson's decadeskug position has been that Israel should not surrender "one inch" of territory.

By Sosaa Hniianm NEW YORK UTA) Soviet President BAikhail Gorbachev, addressing a meeting of the Commudst Youth League in Moscow, has made what is believed to be his first public statement condenining antiSemitism. Leaders of Soviet Jewry advocacy groups responded to the longawaited statement in mixed fashion, some welcoming it, but others saying it minimiMd or only partially addressed the problem. Gorbachev's longawaited remark came quietly, in response to a question posed April 11 in Moscow at the 21st annual congress of Komsomol, the Communist youth movement of the Soviet UniwL ^ Asked what measures he intended to take in response to "abnormal conditions of life and activities of Jews in the Soviet Union" because of antiSemitism, Gorbachev replied, "I believe that we oug^t not to allow raging of nationalism, chauvinism, anti-Semitism or any other 'isms' to occur." "It is necessary to take the path of hansonizing interethnic relations, to set up legal, eoonomkrand social prerequisites for people of all ethnic groups," wherever th^ five, he said. "Thoeis noother way that I know of." A copy of the statttoent was forwarded by Yuri Dubinin, Soviet ambassador to the United States, to Rabbf' ArUiur Schneier, prosideat of the Appeal of Conscience Foundation; an iBterfaith group thyt praototae ndigjous ixt«iam in Soviet bloc cottnt^ and other nationa that experience any religioaa re|n«nhia. Schneier, senior rabbi of 0» Padt Euft Syoagfgiie tMwiKattan, raised the ae of itoviet Jews' growing feeri of anti-Sttoidam ia recent meednga he had , with Dubininia WtahingtonandlrithUlNmni Soviet of^dals ia Moscow. DuUnfai said that Taas, the Soviet news igeocy, distributed the statement nationwkle. Shoahana CanUn, chairwoman of the National Conference on Soviet Jewry, welcomed the

statennnt, acknowledging it was "the first that we are aware of that he has made. "We appreciate his expression of condemnation and hope that this will be broadcast fully, so th«t all Soviet rqniblics will be aware that the government, we trust, will try to prevent any violence at all," fhe said. "Welook forward to fur ther statenients," she saki, particularly one that would indicate an inveetigatun into an ahti-Sanitic attack in January on the House of Writers in MO0ODW. Lynn Singer, executive' director of the Long Island Committee for Soviet Jewry, registered soAe surprise, saying, "Nobody reported it to me in any of my coiversations everyday with people in Moscow."

It is the birUiday of Karl Marx. But the head of another Soviet Jewry group said the reply was givoi only in the context of several responses to nationalism.

'Driving Miss Daisy': the politics of the heart By Joseph Cdien For those of us Jews who have lived our lives in the South, the much tyjiplauded moved "Drivthg Miss Daisy" has resutrected a once familiar, now bygone world. As a child growing up in a small Southern country town, my world was lily white, though not one without its occasional reminder of vulnerabilities Jews sometimes faced. Still, compared to blackpeople we were wdl insulated. But I wince now to think how great the distance was between mysdf and tbe local black conununity. There were black domestics in our home; and we had an "almost family" relationship with them, but in retrospect, the rigidities of the master/servant rdatkmship were scrupulously respected all both, sides, perpetuating a plantation mentality that hinted nibtly that "Massa" was never going to be "in de aA', col' groun'."

Rochester's planning a wedding By Elaui Neaman NEW YORK (JTA) Rochester may not have the tumultuous waterfalls, eve^ready justices of the peace or tadcy hotels liiie its nei^bor dty, Niagara Falls, but this year, it may be offering the best wedding gala in New York state. Providing a young couple with all the acooutrentents of a traditjonal, balachic Jawish wedding, the Rochester ^wish Folk Arts Festival this month announced plans for • gigantic all-expenses-paid June wedding party to be attended by what they hope will be a crowd of 35,000 people. Replete with klezmer bands, chupahs, i rabbi and a cantor, handiMinted ketubot, flowers, wine, 11 entertainment groups, tif^t food caterers and a honeymoon night in Rochester's finest Stouffer's Hotel, the fBstival commit-

tee says they are offering the opportunity for a "wedding to aid all weddings." "It was a joke, originally," admitted <me committee member, who worics for the Synagogue Ooundl of Rodiester, a oobaortiumof the city's 14 synagogues and a spmisar of the festival. "Someone proposed it at first veiy UglUly." But Dan Moigeostem, geoeral chairman of the festival who ane up with the idea, is completeijr serious. "At first, the other committee members didn't think the idea would Qy, but tlpi thj^y realized that it wouldn't be all that difficult," he 8«id. Morgnstera axplained th^ tbe festival hias two puipoaes: to demystify Judaism for the nonJewish Reehester public and to bring Rochester's Jews back into the Jewish comnjuidty.

Deeply moved by the poignanoe, tenderness and wisdom of "Driving Miss Daisy," the superb acting of Morgan Freeman as Hdce Colbum, Jessica Tandy as Miss Daisy and Dan Ackroyd as her son, Doolie, I found myself pondering the intriguing but painful truths the movie reveals in a variety of contexts; Boolie's rductanoe as a southern Jewish businessman to support the dvil lights movement, coiqiled with Martin Luther King Jr.> ringing declaration that what was most damaging to the movement was not the "vitrolic words" of the bad people but the "appalling silence" of the good ones; the empty-headed assimilative ostentation of Boolie's wife at Christmas; the dignity of Daisy ad Hoke and their growing dependenoe on one another as they declined into old age, unafraid to acknowedge the need to relate to one another as humas beings. Relating as human beings, they remind us of another recent transcenant drama of a Jew and a Black intertwined, I'm Not Rappaport." In both mstances the relationsUps flourish betweoi the elderly, giving rise to the disturbing possibility that only when people are gerontologicaly beyond some potentially threatening arenas of humas interaction, the fatal attractions of power acquisition and sex, can such friendly interdependoades thrive. Such rdationships thrive in childhood, too. One wouUlike to think th^ ooukl thrive unthreatened just as hapinly in between.

One reason, I think, that tk* movie succeeds so well in kandliog its saper-sensitive subject vl Jewish-Black reUdoos in a hostile southern setting is the characterization of Miss Daisy. She is unlike any other Jewish female protagonist in contemporary Jewish literature. UsuaBy Jewish women are characterized as casual and infwmid, but thoy young princesses (no dreaded J-acronym herel), or Yiddishe nuunmaa. With her aristocratic itdep and her Insistesce on |trindple and decorum. Miss Didsy gives us a paraooawho not only commands our respect but one who is beycmd reproach. We can learn a lot fr(»n this ex-^chod mann. If she tells us it is all ri|^ for Jewiah sad Afrkaa Aiteican adults to befriwd and trust one another, then it is a lesson well taught ', , . It is a lesson few of us, Jew and Blade, Jew and nonJew, have learned well enougji. In the South, but elsewhere, too, the subject has been too hot to handle. Southern Jews themselves have hardly es|>lored ethnic rdatioosh^ in fiction or drama; indeed, they have n(> recognizable body of litovturd at all, presumably because theiy have long been rductant to call attention to themselves, constituting as they have been'and still are, a tiny minority living in the midst of a potentially explosive, overwhelmingly white Christian populist sodety. That there are captivating stories to tell, however, is an^y proven in "Driving Miss Daisy." Perhaps the dominant metaphor of the Jewish experience in America, whatever the region, is that of the Jews' love for this country, at times defied hi the romantic attraction of the dark-complexioiied Jewish boy for the blonde Christian "Snow^Queen" that symbolizes America. In an earlier era, "Abie's Irish Rose" became the romantic embodiment of the metaphw. Overcoming ethnic differences symbolically or realistically, is what American phiralism is all abdut llie thing that makes "Driving Miss Daiqy" as intriguing as it is poignant is that it accomplishes its purpose of extending this fundamental princqile of democracy into a hitherto forbidden area by putting a new twist on the old metaphor: the couple are friends, not lovers, the darkcomplexioned man is not a Jew but a Bladi, the blonde "snow-Queen" is no longer (Christian Iwt Jewish. As subtle and well-handled as these extended radal nuances are, the real triumph of the movie is in its message that the only politics that work are'the polities of the heart.
