The historic moment When this year's history books are revised, there will be q>edal mention of the current wave of Jewish onigration from the Soviet Union. What is happening is truly amnring and yes, some will say miraculous, as thousands of Soviet Jews arrive weakly in Israel, and reach out with joy as they taste freedom for the first time. Meanwhile, Jewish communities in North Americaincluding Omaha —are undertaking Herculean fundraising efforts making it possible for thousands of Soviet Jews to come into the United States and experience freedom. This event in our time is monumental, the first chance for mOst of us to really do something significant while a window of opportunity is open. Most of us ware helpless during the Holocaust. We didn't know what was going on and when we found out, it was too late. Now—at this moment—we can do something. We can pledge money to Operation Exodus, and that pledge will help the exodus of Jews from the Soviet Union to Israel, to cities across the land—to Omaha. Operation Exodus requires total involvement, and it really doesn't need a hard sell. All of us whose families emigrated from Eastern Europe easily can relate to this mass migration of Jews. Look at what some of our community leaders are saying: "Tod^, we have the unique opportunity, the awesome reqxnsibility to rescue Jewish lives... I am asurvivor who knows firsthand what it means to be on the 'brink of death' ..." CanUur Leo Fettman. "Never has the challenge been so dear. Never has the need for action been so obvious ..." Rabbi Paul S. Drazen. " . . . I am confident that together we can and must build our future and that we are joined <»e to the other. May tliiB seaaoo inspire us, and engage us in this sacrad.aifc.Hlf ndM^tioQ... . , v B«bN Aryeh Aariel. "Perhaps once in a person's lifetime there is an opportunity to make a real difierence . . . Our lettere, protests, and prayers are now being answered and the doon of the Soviet Union are open ..." Tom Fellman. It is appropriate at this time far the Jewish Pren to annoonoe that our Rosh Haahanah inoe win feature the resetUmmit of Soviet Jews in Omaha.

Moslems with a difference Haifa—As you approach Haifa along the Tel-AvivHaifa coastal road, you can hardly fail to observe, high up on the Citrvagi, the white mosque and the twin minaret spires, reaching up into the sky. They are the landmark of the small Arab village of Kababir, which both geographically and politically is within the city limits of Haifa. What makee this village unique is the fact that the great majority of its some 1300 inhabitants are' members of the Ahmediya movement. "We are not a new religion, and not a sect. We are a movement within Islam," we were tokl by Musa Spoor, who speaks in excellent Eng^h. "Although we follow the central precepts of the Moslem faith, revere Mohammed and accept the Koran, other Moslems reject us. Islamic intolerance of the Ahmediyas is reflected in the literature of the latter which speaks of their members as being persecuted and martyred. Thousands (of them) have beian subjected to the most terrible persecution, which varies from imprisonment to physical torture and fiao genocide ..." All this is at the hands of fellow Kababir villagers are an organic part of Haifa. They pay city taxes, vote in the elections, and are employed in the local economy. Many of the men are hig^y skilled in the building trades. Some of the young people have gone on to univeraity. The mosque, by the way, was constructed almost entirely with the volunteer labor of the village men and with funds raised among themselves. What are the differences in their bdiefs, which have led some to term tlum a Reform movement in Islam? The w(H-ld community was founded in India in 1889 (more than a hundred yeara ago) by Hazrat Minca Ohu1am Ahmed, hence the name of Uie groiq). The followers believe that he was the long-awaited Messiah, or Mahdi, and with his advent the world has already entered the period of human redemption. One sign of such redemption is the return of the Jews to their land, as foreseen in the Koran, which refers to the homecoming of the Jews as a "mixture of many nations." The modem Hebrew equivalent would be the ingathering of the exiles. ' The Ahmediyas reject jihad in the military Mnse. To
To the EcHtor. President Myrvin Christopherson of Dana College was kind enough to aendme a copy of the Jewiah Preae with your artkle on the conference at Dana College. It was of particular interest to me for several reasons: I was your predecessor as editor of the Pteea. (From 1936-1942) I am a native of Washington County of which BUdr is, of course, county seat. (I was raised at Nathan's Lake, approximately IVi miles north of the site of the Post of the Otoes where Mendes Nathan was a partner of Jean Pierre Cabanne.) At the end of Work! War II, I was a member of the 29th Divisicm Artillery stationed in the Brsmoi Enclave, and I was sent to Denmark to contact the leaders of the Danish Underground.
By then the story of the rescue of the Daniah Jews was already known, but I was the first to bring out the details. One of my contacts in Copenhagen waa Mr. Frankel, the preeident of the B'nai B'rith, and I wrote the atory in a latter to Henry Monsky, who than asked me to do an artide fior the The NatloMlJOTriah Monthly. I hMrd about the oootewoe only thMNifh a very aligfat itam in The Clients TAUM, and I wrot* to Senator Simon to tall him abont oqr note* on the oodirsround.

them, jihad is a program to spread their goepd by peaceful means. They look upon war as a (>unishment sent by God for the evil that man has done—and if they were to be ctmscripted into the Israel army (they are exempt) they would probably refuse on grounds of conscience. It is significant that during all periods of Arab stress in the country, Kababir has been quiet and peaceful. Indeed, Musa emphasized, they do not even take part in the various strikes which the Arab leadership calls from time to time. Spiritual leader of the community ia Mohammed Hamid Kausar, sent here fiom the seat of the faith in India. He is a conspicuons figure on Mt. Cartoel because of his dress, which is typically Indian, because of his erect and handsome figure, and because he speaks English. Our paths cross frequently at the poet office, wluch Kababir shares with us. He has been here for five yeara already and is known as the Mubasher, the preach^, who gives sermons (in Arabic) and takes care of all spiritual mattere. The Ahmediya movement is puritanical and highly ' moral. Until very recently, its womenfolk were forbidden to leave the village to work. We can recall when a delegation of the villagers came into our street to escort home, firmly, a girl who had undertaken to work as an ozeret, a housemaid, for a Jewish family. Today they are less strict. The pleasant salesgirl in Greenberg's confectionery store in the Mercaz is no less than Musa's daughter. Among their beliefs: Th^ maintain that Jesus did not die after being taken down from the cross, but was spirited out of the country by his followers, and eventually passed away in Incfia. To this day, a building in the dty of Srinigar, in Kashmir, is pointed out as his tomb. He is recognized as having been a true prophet, in the line of Moses, Jesus, Mohammed, but a huinan being, without divine attributee. Ood, say the Ahmediyas, is one; he has no agents and no son. On this visit to Kababir we learned why it is customary to remove one's shoes when entering the mosque. In addition to sanctity, there are also sanitary reasons. When Moslems pray, they touch thcdr foreheads to the rug. To keep the carpet clean, no one may walk upon it with shoes—a practical reason, indeed. ' In May, tlie Ahmediyas complete a year-long celebration of the centenary. Though few in number in Israd, they claim a woild-wide memberahip in the millions. There is a smaU number of adherents in the U.S., Eng^ land. Canada, Argentina A conaiderahle amount erf their rdigious and promotional literature ia in P.ng««h Kababir is not on the usual tourist itinerary, but a planned visit there can be an unuausl experienca Musa Scoor seems to be the hospitslity and PR man.

It-waan't always like that,.. For instance, wiiML I b^gin retoaicfaing my family history years iigo, I qilidicly turned to the Federal census, which surprisingly reveij^ a gr«at deslpdio^ my mother's family. In the early 1890'8, the Odn^Spkov family branch began arriving in Amariea'lhim Prfiuld, a shtetl in the Poltava IKstiict of the Ukrkine. In the 1910 Federal census, I found that Morr^ haid shortened his name to " Adno. poE," had ah-eady become a citizen, was a tailor of childrcn'e jachets, had been married 12 years to Dora, could read/write apd had three children. His <dder brother,' Herschel (Harris), married Feige (Fainiie) Freedman, who was always described as the "strong one in that family." For years I was unable to locale Haniis ^d Fannie in the census records until the thou^t occurred to try Fannie's maidea name of Freedman, and sure enough, the Harris Freedman family shows up in the 1910 census, living in Brooklyn, wfava Harris is a retail merchant; Fennie's oocupatioa is listed as "PODB" and daugjiter, Babecca. ia a piano teadier at age 22. Years ago, most1r(Hnen became dtizebs through the. natarallzatioo pvoceaa of their husbanda. Not bi Fannie's case! llie 1910 census hidicates Harris is still an "alien" and eventually Ote Brooklyn courthouse produced the naturalization records of Fannie Freedman who fibd her own application in 1936. On her natoralizataoB petition, most unusual for a woman in those days, Fainnls indicates she arrived in this country in 1891 under the name of Feige Adniposow, Apparently, she stopped using her husband's nan* shortly after her arrival in America and the family assumed her maiden name. No one seems to remonber much about my greatuncle, Harris, but they sure have some stories about Fannie's "strong" chiu-acter and "businees sense." In today's world, Fannie would probaUy fit In just fine, but long ago, womoi like fannie were supposed to be houskwivee. The exceptions were not well, accepted other than thoee who worked in occupations sudi as librarian, nurse or teacher. The first Federal census was in 1790 add every 10 years thereafter. The census records tfaraui^ 1910 are open to the public for searching and can be foQUd at the National ^chivee in Washingtim, D.C^ its branches end various Bbraries thrtaghout the coantry.lt is anticipated we will have access to the 1920 ceqtfus returns in 1992. Tragically, a wardiouse fire almost cofnpletely destroyed tibe 1890 Federal census, with some^scattered recorda remaining. Each census since 1790 added new questions and the responses whith emerged reflect the evolving history of our lai^ and our families. Standard questions inchi^ed name, age, occupation, sex, race. C<msider the foUowing additional questions (which is a repreeentation, not a conqdete listing): In 1790, whether free white inhabftants, slaves or other parsons; in 1840, whether literate or a pensioner; in 1860, whether the chiklren attended echoed, in 1880 whether disabled, a prisoner or paiqpMr. The 1880 census was also the first to include a cansus of'Indians. Also, in 1880, of extreme importance to all family historians, we lesraed the birth|riaoe of persona and parmts. The 1890 census reported the average worker earned $438 per year and Uved on a farm. The average househokl had six cUUren. Oocupatkna for chiklren as young as 10 years okl were listed—child tabor laws were yet tobapaaaed.

Ilie project, which was a deqMrate attempt to turn the tide of the war, employed Jews and others, 20,000 of whom perished. The plant was kicated near the small town of Nordihausen in what is now East Oermany. The townspeople are behind the museiim project.
The slave laborers were confined to a nearby concentration camp called Mitteibau Dam. None was supposed to leave alive becauae the project was a top secret. .

School for leaders
NEW YORK (JTA) Conflkt between rabbis and their congregational boards has become commonplace in the Jesrish communal worid. With this in mind, the Unkm of American Hebrew Congregattons, the central body of Reform Judaism, has eetabMahed a school for synagogue leaders. "Many people eieeted to aynagogue boards may have a lot of talent but no tools," said Rabbi Len^ nard Thai of Coogregitfion Ner TamM in Las Vegas, who has participated in the program.
"They can beanccaelful doctoa, ]*wytn, travel agenta or inscnnoe agtttts without ever haylBg leamsd to manage pe(^lB. They may not even know the tee^iiqiia of nmaing a meethix."The aefaool. the only aatfanal prognm for lay congregation toadeis in Jewish'lUe, uses workshops, aeminars, teaching maautds and the skills of 60 volunteers to show new and vet*an aiynagogue leaders Itow to Improve tbdr commuBications skills and mhance plannhig and budgeting effectivenees.

Chief of Staff Gen. Dan Shomron and his senior officers admitted they took a cafcalated riak 1^ not dearing the. beaches as soon as the attadnr^ were detected. An fanportant . conskleration was not to create pamc, they said. Tliey also witUield fire until it was certain the approaching boatloads of men were enemies.

MiUj^ary and civilian leadertf agi^eed that the timing of the Shavuot attack had nothing to do with.the sillying of seven Palestiidsns by a reputedly deranged Israeli gunnoan near Rishon le-Zion on Msy 20, though the PLF daimed it was in revenge. Experts pointed out that the attack, which induded a mother ship and 16 armed men ritfing six speedboats, must have been plamwd weeks or months in advance. IsTaeUs also admit tiie element of chance did much to prevent a massacre. The engine of one boat would not stkrt when it was put into the water. Three others, induding one used as a refueling tanker, broke down shortly afterwards. If aO five assault boats had resched beaches or deserted areas on the cosst, the outcome might have been different. In addition to tb« Ga'adt and Nitianim beaches, targati drdea on the terrortota'maii induded TU Aviv's bea^front hotels; the Mi^U Shalom Tower, Israd's taUest office building; and Makhei Yisrad Sqnue outside 4he Td Aviv dty halL A mystery surrounds the mother ship, which was 124 milee dt the Israeli coast when it dropped the speedboata. According to the IDF, it sailed frtm Benghazi, Libya, on and headed for Port Said, Egypt, after the attack. The Egyptian autboritlea were alerted but the vaesd has not Bom found. Acting Prime Minister Yitshak Shamh-, who is alao deCenoeminiater in the caretaker government, congratulated the security foross on their "tremsndous success" in preventing the attempted mass murder of innocent dvUians.

Boss can't be bothered If anyone ever believed that Billy Rose was anytliing hut a jerk, despite faii phiiantfarapies and this Hoiocmut salvataon lark— his pleasure was not in saving Jewa but in outwitting Hitler—Bellow sets the record straight by making it clear what a lovriife Billy Rose really was.

The climactic encoiuter between the diminutive, effete Rose and the 200pound mannish tiger-wife is the most delightful episode in the bode, bat its outcome only proves an M tried lUid true BeUoviaii'maxim that however much we must be our brother's keeper, some of us, for whatever rsaaon, don't cotton up to ths ides.

NEW YORK -During the third session of Vatican Council II m 1964, two whHrhim (emissaries) cS the Lubavitcher rdM)e came to my American Jewish Committee office. After some warm and friendly conversation, including nostalgia over my student days at Yeshiva University, the shlichim asked me directly if I could arrange through my Vatican contacts an audience between the rebbe and Pope Paul VI. I was intrigued by the idea of such a possible "religious summit," and aaked, "What is the rebbe's calendar? When would he be prepared to go to lUHne?" The shlichim appeared stuniied. "Rome? We would want the pqie to meet tlie rebbe at the Lubavitcher headquarters on Eastern Parkway." The r^be had wanted to discuss with the pCps the possible threat of a pro-

posed universal calendar refmm at the United Nations, which would have made turmoQ of both the Jewish and Christian religious calendan. The meeting never took place. I was fasdnated fay that exchange because it said a good deal to me symbolically about the creativity and courage of the Lubavitcher rebbe, as well as his paradoxical role in modem Jewry. There is no question in my mind that Rabbi Menadiem Schneerson and his Hasidim around the world have, during the past 40 years of his leaderahip, made a profound and generally productive intact on advancing Jewish learning and rdigioiu observance among many Jews. The paradox is that the Lubavitch movement's traditions areesacntiaUy fundamentalist Orthodox, but commimicated powerfully through the most advanced tei^ological and media-hyped methods. The modernism of their satellite communications, dramatically displayed mammoth menorahs in public places, and their public relations savvy tend to suggest that the message is as contem-

philosophising that marked Bellow's earlier work is attenuated here and his allusions are primarily to art and literattire. Shakeq)eare and George Herbert are invoked and there are frequent echoes of Yeats. He is mentioned by name, his memorable phrase "the mackerelcrowded seas" from "Scaling to Byzantium" is quoted, and the narrator's late non-Jewish wife is named Ddrdre. Yeats literally hovers above Bdlow's narrative. The Yeats Bdlow evokes ia the elder poet, reflective and wise about life, resigned to the encroach-
ments of old age but unwilling to capitulate, serene at times even about death. Like Yeats through his poems and plays. Bellow through hia ficticm erects his ttofenses against time, his narrator observing at one point that "I didn't want to talk about Medicare or social security checks or hearing aidi'or paconakers or bypass surgery. What Bellow's narrator wanta to talk about is not thfl diminution or deletion of life but its fulhkess. That seems to be the Nobel laureate's present tenor. That being 80,1 say, "Phiy it again, SauL"

directed against the antagimist. When BeD6w's novel The Dean's December (1982) araeared. I argued tiiat Be&Ow's Thirty Year-War with women was over. Here is more evidence of the end of that conflict. Bellow's narrator loves Sorella, all 200 pounds of her, detailing time and time again her remarkable qualities. In years past, Bellow even excoriated slim women, but here, the fat lady gets to smg all she wants to and the novdla iJ9 not over until she leavee center staga Two.other elements of the story deserve to be mentioned.

porary as the electronic media. But if one reviews Lubavitch politics hi larael, as well as their practices toward other Chthodox, not to speak of Conservative and Reform movements in the United States, their qipealingemr phasis on Ahavat Yisroel—love of Jewa for one another—leaves much to be desired in practice. That is very sad, in a way, because American Judaism needs a powerful EngUah-apeaking spokesman who would symbolize the relevance of Judaism to the modem world the way Dr^ Billy Graham haa become the dominant embpdiment of American I^testantiam, and the late Archbishop Fulton Sheen became the Cathdic preaence in America. There simply is no Jewish coimterpart to them. Given the often rancorous and competitive democratic pluralism in American Jewish life, I suppose we will simply have to wait for the true Mashiach to come and fill that Jewish role. RabU Marc H. Tanenbanm is iatemational relations consultant to the American Jewish Coounittee and ia immediate past chainnaB of the lataraatiowd Jewiah Committee for iBtertallgloua CoaanltatkMM.
