JERUSALEM (JTA) While comparing Iraq's invasion of Kuwait to Adolf Hitler's aggression in the 1930s, Israel urged the world community to recog nize that the threat to peace in the Middle East and beyond comes from Baghdad and not from the Israeli-Palestinian dispute. But the incursion .by Preeidrat Saddam Hussein's forces into Iraq's oilproducing Arab neigfabOT doea not neoeesitate an immediate military response from Israel, Defense Minister Moehe Arens stated. He said Israel's deter rent strength provided a bulwark, from which it could f(dlow«v«its in the regiao with quiet confidence. Israel has no common border with Iraq. Its longstanding poli^ haa been that an hitruaion of Iraqi forces into Jwdan would trigger an Israeli response. Meanwhile, the Israelis are utilizing the latest events to press their view intmatianaUy that Iraq ia the chief menace to peace and stability in the re^on.

9jr David Frledaun WASHINGTON (JTA) -AbmtohavetbeU.S. govanment protect kosher consumers against fraud has been introduced by Rqt. Stephen Solarz (D-N.Y.). Although some states have sudi laws, the bill introduced by Solart is the first effort to do so with federal legidation. The federal law, however, would not supersede a state law that is more stringent. Solarz, who represents a Brooklyn district with a large number of Orthodox Jews, credits Agudath Israd of America with showing him the need for the legation as well as helping him to draft it. ^. "As the representative of the largest kashruth observing community in the nation, I have become acutely aware of the pitfalls faced by those who seek to uphold this timeless Jewish tradition," Solarz said. "There is no excuse for unscrupulous mercfaante to prey on kosher consumers," he said.
He added that koaker |»odocts have also become mcressing popular among the general public "because they are prepared undir carrfkiUty aupeirvised conditions, and are thouf^t to be more healthful than other similar producta." There are more than 60 koeher certifications now is use, said Abba Cohen, director of Agudath Israel's Washington office. "Most of these symbols appear without any specific reference on the product label or package as to the identity, backgrounid or qualifications of the cer tiiljdng authority," Ck>h«i said. "With more and more products bearing more and more symbols, the kosher fidd has become ripe fqr error, confusion and even fraud." The bill, known as the Public Disclosure of Rdigious Dietary Clertification Act, wodd require manufacturers of products labded as kosher and shq>t>ed across stoto lines to file certain information with the Food and IHug Administration.

Polish church asking forgiveness The great distortion "Praaklaiit" Smidun Hnpaein of Iraq hu an uncanny abflity to distort the facts, evade responsibility, and inflame foUoirers. CooqiariaaiiB of Hussein with Hitler are not without merit Let's look at the scenario of the past sevanl wedu. Hussein needs mooey—lots of it—to rebuild his ndHtsiy following the eiii^yaar-war with Iran. Ho wants hard cash to add armament musde to his forces to fulffl his longstanding dream of becoming the abaohite ruler of the Arab world. With the Arab wwU as bis sword, he can cot the Iwad off of tiie infidel, Israel, and roU it into the sea. And with that act, he will go down in history as the greatest Arab rulo' of all time and absolutely gain the top sest in the Islamic hereafter. So, he demands that the oil cartel booet the price of oil and at the same time threatens neigfab(»ing Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. His thrests ensure that his price fixing will hdd. His thrests srs backed up with troop deployment end saber rattling. With the threat of battle on the hmizon, Jordan and Egypt pnah for an Arab station to the problem—oil prices skyrocket—snd Ssddam Hussein extends an olive branch to comfbrt the nwous nstkns. lien, he invades Kuwsit. He invsdee to sop up wealth. Photos and stories deecribing the invssi(m and phmder of that oO-fich state ars just becoming public It's a story of murder, rspe, and pillage—striped of Arabian Ni|^ glamour, uncovering an armsd mob enjoying the qMils of conquest One can only imagine wiU> terror what would happen to the populatkn of Israel if that country were (G-d forUd) overrun by an Arab army. We continue. Aft«jponiaing to leave Kuwait Saddam Hussein annexes tile twiltay, movee his aAqy dose to Saudi Arabia apl thumbs his nose st the United Nstion's move agaqyt him. But aa the jniUtary build-up opposing Iraq gains mranentum sod as Arab legions began to follow America, Huaaein'had second thoughts about invading Sandi Arabia. Inatead, he pointed to the maasiva sir snd naval power "from arooiid US world aa a'Zionist'pkt to de^Mil Arab diutiiui and promptly called far a ho^#ar against Isrsel sad the West By bringing Isrsel into the conflict he hopes to persuade hia Mktw Arabs that his cause is holy snd just. Too late, Hussein. Your intent is clear and you will be stopped.

By Chariee Hoffman WARSAW (JTA)-A hI^>4irvslbocbr in the Poll^ Catholic church has prapand a document that condemns anti-Semitism snd asks ftagivenees from the Jews for snti-Semitic actions in the pest accor ding to church sources bsre. The document s nujor stat«nent on relations between Jews snd Christians in Poland, is to be issusd later this year on the 26th anniverssry of "Nostrs Aetate," the statement by the Second Vatican Council in 1966 that redefined the Catholic Cfatuch's relations to Jews and Judaism. "Nostra Aetate" stressed that Jeeus, Mary and the Apostles sprang from the Jewish people and that the Jews do not bear collective reqwnaihility for the crueifixian of Jesus. The statement also condemned anti-Semitism and persecution of the Jews in any form. A draft of the documoit now being circulated among the bishops of PoIsnd for their review inter prets the teachfaigs 4rf Vatican II in the context of JewishChristian relations m Poland. The draft was prepared by the Polish chmch's Commission for Dialogue with Judaism. Among oUur things, the
document asks fotgiyeness for the anti-Semitic teaching of the church in the period betwem the wars, and for the Kielce pogrom of July 4, 1946. Father Michad Csajkowskl, who teacbtaBible at thB Catholk llieologkad Academy of Warsaw, said in an intervtow that "the teaddngt of Vatican II are not wdl known in Poland. Oiu- leaders had bigger problems to desl wiUi," he noted, referring to the church's long struggle with the now-defunct Commnnist regime. "We saw on^ the antiSemitism of the Communists, who persecuted people of sU faiths. Indeed, until recently, some of the bishops were of the opii^on that there is no antiSemitism in Poland, because there are virtually no Jews. "We dkln't see Chiistisn anti-Semitism then, but now I think we are beginning to see more clearly that anti-Semitism is not dead in Poland," be said. Caajkowsld, who is a member of the Commissi<m on Dialogue, has fw the pest four years lectured widely in Poland to lay and derical audiencee about the teachings of Vatfean II on the Jewa and Judaism. One of his main points in theae talks is that "if you hate Jews,
you srs not 8 good Christian, and you an a sinner." The Commission is siso prepsring a cdlection of statements 1^ Pope John Paul II on Jews snd Jndaiam for wide distribution in Poland. "The pope is greatly loved ban, but his teachings en Jews and Judaiam, which are in the qtirit of Vatican II, are not widely known here. In my lecturea, I uae the pope's words to show that anti-Semitism is against our faith." In the Kieke pogrom, 42 Jews were shot, stoned to death or killed with axes and blimt instruments, including two chfldren, and four teen-sgers. The mob was inflsmed by rumors that local Jews had killed a Christian boy to use his
bkxxi for ritual purposes. Cu^kowsU heU that "the Kialce pogrom was a Communist provocation, and the church is not responsible." But, he said, "it ia also true that PdUsh Catb^ who took part in the attacks bdieved the charge of ritual murdar," whkh for centuries blamed Jews for killing Ouistiana, particularly children, and using their bkxid for mstsrh "This is our sin, and this is our problem of how we educate our believers," Czajkowsld sakL He said that the document would condemn the ritual murder charge, which some Poles still believe, as completdy false, along with other outmoded docfarines that have inspired hatred of the Jews.

Point of View
ByHanyAUea The political dimate in the Middle Eaat is like NeInraaka waathert If you don't like it, just wsait around a bit—it wlB soon change. In all the storm and tempest created by Iraq's invasion of the world's ooly autonomous oil coaqMoy (Kuwait), one consitant remains: IntMli poUtics is probably aa fractured aa ever. True enou^ the positioa of those urging a Palestinian state has beeo weakened, probably beyond recovery. The argumnts against such a state are now overwhelming. "The PLO has lost considerable intematiaaal status—especially in the United States, by supporting Iraq and tiyincto broker a ca^ settlement to Iraq in return for a pull-out from Kuwait llius, the Shamir and likud posititms, with respect to negotiating with the Palestinians, may be even more popular in Israel than ever before and the hard-liners will pubiicty prochiim their astuteness and vindication. But ijie underiyibg issue of how best to solve the problem of 1.7 iniDigB Palestinians will not go away—neither in the United States, Israel or the West Bank and Gaza. The recent Jerusalem riots in reaction to the killing of two Isradi teenagers about to enter army aervice simply reinforces the need to solve the problem. The future of negotiations now rests on a number of factors. First, the factors in Israel: The Shamir government must muster the will to over-ride the oppoeition of the extreme right-wing parties to any negoUatiim with the Paketinians, and the opposition of sections of the religious communi^ against the very idea of any withdrawal from the West Bank, however minuscule. Leaderah^, not conaeDsoa building, is called f(»r. A major bctor hi inflaendng Israeli pnbbc opinion will be the extent to which the strong American reaction to Iraq servea to bolster Israeli ctmfkiwioft in Americsnguarantees and how long America will stay the course. Hie factors among the Palestinians: Palestinisna, like most of the Arab world, live in the realm of fantasy and myth. Palestinians are cheering Saddam Hussein aa a "raal Arab," one who is standing up to "American and Israeli Imperialism." Tb0y are very disenchanted with the rest of the Arab world's support for their cause. What is needed now is for the Palestinians to accept the fact that the PLO and Yasser Arafat serve them no better than did King Hussein of Jordan or Faud of Saudi Arabia and that it is now best to accept the initial Shamir^Rabin election pn^oaala. But with it all, it is the United States that is the key player. If the United States succeeds against Iraq, it will have re-established itself aa the major power in the Gulf . If Bush has not made secret pledges to Saudi Arabia as to Israel, the Americans can exert substantial influence with both the Saudis and the Israelis to come to some kind of modus-vivendL That <Hie development could break the log-jam of negotiating between the Arabs and Israel—and ultimately that is what is needed to solve the Psleetinian question.
Holds ByHn^Oigd TELAVrV(JTA)-The airlift of UJS. military forces to the Ftraian OuU may affect the avaflabOity of seats tor air passengers to Israd, but prices for those seats are not currently likely to rise. El Al, Israel's national airUne, which operates regularly scheduled services from New York, Boston, Miami, Chicago and Los Angelee, has announced that it is holding the line on air fares, dmpite the soaring price of fAi due to the Persian gulf crisis. El Al said it "does not see the need to increase air fares while oil prices are still stabilizhig." That applies to sll destinations, the airline said. This makes El Al an exception to the number of afr carriers who announced riaes in fares of between 6 to 10 percent almost immediately after Iraq invaded Kuwait.

I know tliat there ia a great demand for Russian teachers in tlie U.S.A. nowadays because people in this country are anxious to learn about the events in the , U.S.S.R. and they travel a lot and they also want to learn the language. I can tell you, Russian literature is very famous all over the worid and in some of the coUegee and universities the classical writsrs are studied and the plays are staged. I have 16 years'eoqierimoe in teaching and never had problems wlUi oy pi^fls, so 111 see whether I'll be able to become a teaicber here or not
Well, they've done it again, our smart Israeli brothers (snd prssumably sisters). ThcQT've come iqi with a smart, new and great idea, according to a prees release. Israeli researchers 8«y they have concocted a product from fiah and fiah oQ tiiat is ahnost indistinguishaUs from caviar. No, I ask you. is that clever or what? llie facto are sinqile: real caviar is CKtremely coatly and thia artificial stuff can be aokl mndi cheaper. Once more it was those genhisee at the Israd Institute of Technology at Haite. A team of adentisto not only devdoped the recipe but also a machine with which to make Uie mixture. Also smart and in addition, they hcqw to begin marketing the prodiict in this countiy soon. The inventors hope it wiU capture a ahare of the billion-and-s-half-doUar worldwide caviar maritet. And oh,yee... it's koaher. Now that one kind of puzzles me. If the fish it comes from is kosher, isn't the caviar also di? Sturgecm is probably best known for tl» marvelous roe and every kashruth observant Jew knows that fish is pennisaaUe. So what's with kosher or not? I wouldn't ejqwct lobster cavisr (is there such a thing?) to be kosher, but what about all the other creaturee with aodes, fins and gills? Aren't tbey allowed? What are you gonna ido?... you live to be a mature dtizen; yba think you know what'a ok and what's treie and all of a sudden somebodty throws you a carve. Beate me; but one thing I certainly understand without sny trouble. Where it comes to creative, bright and dever sdentisto, you have to give Haifa Tech the honorsl Leave it to them to come up with intelligent, hicrative, inventive ideas.
But my beet dream is to become a travel agent. I graduated from special coursee in the Soviet Union ai^ became a gukle UMre. So, in addition to the pleasant satisfactkm I had wooing with people, I learned more aboat monqr and saw t&B country. Besides being the gukle, I was also an agent who accooqianied the tourist groups to diffarent dties, placed them in the hotels and provided them, throuc^ different agencies, with wfaaiever they would need daring their trip. I brooi^t some letters from some Russian organizationa who woukl like to hava contacts in the fidd of toui^ iam with the Soviet Union. In my undvetanding, it may be very interesting because Russia ia huge and vwy rich in mueeums, and I know this work wiU) the tourista and the country and their rules. Some American companies have certain connections with the industrial business of the Soviet Union and tbey mif^t need me as an intvpreter. I don't know exactly the namee of these companiee and what tbey are interested in, but I know that ConAgra has some contacts with the Soviet Unicm. But thst will be very interesting to me end may be of some help to the con^Muy. I don't know the other companies who have or even would like to have the contacts with the Soviet Union, but for me it will be easier to lealiae what place to go, whom to addrees and so on. With the help ol my editor (a wonderful man), I am learning bow to type on the computer and perhaps I csn be a secietaiy in some office or woric in s salee position in a store. In tlte meantime, I am fading vc^ nice in the newspaper, working among vary kind people and learning from them very much.

And with that act, he will go down in history as the greateat Arab rulor of all time and absolutely gain the top aeat in the Islamic hereafter. So, he demands that the oO cartd boost the price of oil and at the same time threatens neighboring Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. Hia threata ensure that his price fixing will hold. His threata are badced up with troop deployment and aaber rattling. With the threat pf battle on the horizon, Jordan and Egypt puah for an Anb aohiti<m to the problem—ofl prioaa dqrrocket—and Saddam Huaaein extends an ohve branch to comfbrt the nervoua nations.

By Charlee Hoffman WARSAW (JTAJ-A hlgb^ivtl body in the Poll^ Catholic church has prepared a document that coodemns anti-Semitism and asks faigivenesa from the Jews for anti-Semitic actions in the past, according to church sources here., The document, a major atatement on relatkns between Jews and CSiriatians in Poland, is to be issued later this year an the 26th annivmary of "Nostra Aetate," the statement by the Second Vatican Council in 1966 that redefined the Cathcdic Church's relations to Jews and Judaism. "Nostra Aetate" stressed that Jesus, Mary and the Apoatles sprang from the Jewish people and that the Jews do not bear collective reqwosibility for the cnwifirion of Jeaus. The statement alao condemned anti-Semitism and persecution of the Jews in any form. A draft of the docunoent now being circulated among the bishops of Poland for their review inter prsts the teachings (rf Vatican II in the context of JewishOuiatian ralatkmk hi Poland. Hie draft was prepared by the Polish chiuch'a Commiaaian for Diahigne with Judaiam. Among other tUngB, the
document asks foigiveneee for the anti-Semitic teaching of the church in the period between the ware, and for the Kielce pogrom of July 4,1946. Father Michael Ciejkowski, who teaches Bible at the Catholic Tliealogical Academy of Waraaw, aaid in an interview that "the teaddngs of Vatican II are not wen known in Poland. Our leaders had Ugger problems to deal with," he noted, refcning to the church's long strug^e with the now-defunct Communist regime. "We saw only the antiSemitism of the Communists, who persecuted people of sU faius. Indeed, until recently, some of the bishops were of the opinion that there is no antiSemitism in Poland, because there are virtually no Jews. "We dkhi't see Christian anti-Semitism then, but now I think we are beginning to see more deaiiy that anti-Semitism is not dead in Poland," he said. Cai^kowski, who is a member of the Commissicm cm Dialogue, has for the past four yean lectured widely in Poland to lay and darical audiences aboDt the teachings of Vatican II on the Jewa and Judaiam. One of his nudn pojnta hi these talks is that "if yon hate Jews,

But, he said, "it ia alao true that Polish CathoUca who took part in the attacks believed the chsrge of ritual murder," whteh for centuriea blamed Jewa for UOing Chriatiana, particularly children, and uafaig thifr blood for mataah "This is our sin, and tUs is our problem of how we educate our believers," Csajkowaki said. He said that the document would condemn the ritual murder charge, which some Poles still believe, as completely fabe, akmg with other outmoded doctrines that have inspired hatred of the Jews.

you are not a good Christian, and yon are a afainer." The CoBomisaion is alao preparing a collection of statements by Pope John Paul II on Jews and Judaiam for wide distribution in Poland. "The pope ia greatly loved here, but his teachmga OO Jews and Judaiam, which are in the apuit of Vatkan II, are not widdy known here. In my lecturea, I use the pope'e words to show that anti-Semitism is sgainst our faith."

Soviets UN behavior described as ''miracie"
By Motria MaUne A foreign service officer now attached to the United Nations described the current behavior of the Soviet Union and Eastern Bloc nations as a "mirade." "They are acting aa alliee, behaving Uke normd nations," Lawrence Groesman told the Old Timers group at the Jewish Community Center Tuesday. Mr. Grossman, chief of the Resource Mansgemeot Section of the United States Mission to the United Nations, was in Omaha to vidt his parents, Arthur and Anne Grossman. A foreign aervioe officer for 20 yefsra, Mr. Groeaman traced the origin of the United Nations from an Initid meeting of 60 members in 1946 to 159 membera at preaent. He aaid the greatest achievments of the United Nations were in the technicd, economic, and socid areas rather than politkaL Hs pointed out that his reepcnsibilty involvea chaoking on how the United Nations spends ths 1233 million provided by the United SUtes. Mr. Groesman suggested that the Bast/West split in tha United Nationa has bean changed because of the present behavior of the Soviet Union and that ultimately the U.N. will see a North/South split between the industrialized nations and the hsve-not nationa.

Point of View By Hanjr AOtm Tha poUtical cUmiite in the Middle East ia Uu Nebraslu weather. If y6a don't, like it, juat wait around a bit—it wiB aoon change. In all the storm and tempeat cieated 1^ Inq'a invasion of the worid's ooly auttnomous oil can^Mmy (Kuwait), <Hie constant remains: IsraaU politica ia probidtly as fractured aa ever. Traeenoo^ the poritkn of those lu-ging a Palestinian atate has been weakened, probably beyond recoveor. The arguments against such a state are now overwhelming, lie PLO has lost considerable intematiaaal status—especially in the United States, by supporting Iraq and tiying.to broker a cash settlemott to Iraq in return for a pull-out from Kuwait. Thus, the Shamir and Ukud poaitions, with respect to negotiatjlig with tlie Palestinians, may be even more pcfnilar in Israel dian ever before and the hard-liners will publicly pndiim their astuteness and vindication. But the underlying issue of how beat to aolve the problem <rf 1.7 mQUon Palestinians will not go away-neither in the United Statea, Israd or the Weet Bank and Gaza. The recent Jerusalem riots in reaction to the killing of two Israeli teenagers about to enter army service simply reinforces the need to solve the problnn. The future of negotiations now rests on a number of factors. First, the factors in Israel: The Shamir government must muster the will to over-ride the op^isition of the extreme right-wing parties to any negotiation with the Palestinians, and the oppoaiti(» of sections of the religious community against the very idea of any withdrawal from the Weet Bank, however minuscule. Leadership, not consensus buildiiig, is caJled for. A major factor in tofhienrhiglaraettpublk! opinion will be the extent to iriiich the strong American reaction to Iraq serves to bolster Israeli confidence in American guarantees and how long America will stay the coarse. The factors among the Palestinians: Palestiniana, like most of the Arab world, live in the realm of fantasy and myth. Palestinians are cheering Saddam Husaain as a "nal Arab," one who is standing up to "American and latuXl Iny>erialism." Th«y are very disenchanted with t^BNtt pfthe Arab world's support fpr their cause. Vflfc is needed now is for the Palestinians to accept the factlhat t^ PLO and Yasser Arafat serve them no better than did King Hussein of Jordan or Fau3 of Saudi Arabia and that it is now best to accept the initial Shamir-Rabin election proposala. But with it all, it ia the United SUtee that is the key player. If the United States succeeds against Iraq, it will have re-established itself as the major power in the Gulf. If Bush has not madaaacrat pledgee to Saudi Arabia as to Israel, the Americans can exert substantial influence with both the Saudis and the Israelis to come to some kind of modus-vivendL That one development could break the log-jam of negotiating between the Arat>s and Israel—and ultimately that is what is needed to sdve the Pslestinian question.

Jewish centennial planned
By Amy WaMaua ef HM ChroBiclawtaff MILWAUKEE-The Wiaconain Jewish communities of Aiqileton, Green Bay and Oshkosh have begun planning for a oentettnial celetoation oi Jewiah life in Wiaconsin'a Fox Valley, alated for September 1991 throu^ April 1992. "The program will bMfcaUy be an outreach to the rest of the comomnity," said Centennial C(mmli^ tee Chairman Earle Sherrod. He described the cdebration as an opportunity to demonstrate how the history of the region's
Jewish community ia linked to the Uatoty and life of the general community. Ilmagfa community aedira, lectarea, coooerta and ezhibita of art and histccy, the Jewiah commoaitgr will showcase modem uid Uatorieal Jewiah life within the oonununity and around ths world. Two laraaU groups will preaant eonocrta in each of the thrae dtiea dmtag the celebration: the lUnat Choir, ths national choir of Israel, in November 1991; and the East/West Jau Enaemble, which mixes the music of the Middle East with American jaiz, in April 1992.
I know that there is a great demand for Russian teadiers in the U.S.A. nowadays becauae peofiie in this country are anxious to learn about the events in the U.S.S.R. and Uiey travel a lot and they also want to learn the language. I can tell you, Russian literature is very famous all over the world aiid in aome of thecoUeges and universities the classical writers are studied and the plays are staged. I have 16 years'eipenenoe in teaching and oaver had problems witii my piqiils, so 111 see whether 111 be able to become a teacher here or not
Well, they've done it again, our smart Isradi brothers (and presumably sisters). Thqr've come up with a amart, new and great idea. accMding to a preas releaae. Israeli reaearchirs s«y they have concocted a product from fiah and fiah oQ that ia almfurt. ii«ti<»t.iT<gnm»|»W« fi^ni favjar. Nu, I aak you, ia that clever or what? Hie facto are sinqtie: real caviar ia eztremety costly and this artificial atuff can be ao)d much cheaper. Once more it was those gtnhisee at the larad Inatituto of Technology at Haifa. A team of adantiato not only devdoped the recqw but also a machiiie with which to make the mixture. Alao smart and in addition, tbqr hope to begin maiketfaig the product in this country soon. The inventors hc^ it will capture a share of the billion-and-^-half-doUar worldwide caviar market And oh, yes... it's koshv. Now that one kind of pozzlea me. If the fish it comes from is kosher, isn't the caviar also ok? Sturgeon is probably best known for the marvdous roe and every kaahruth obaervant Jew knows that fish ia permissaUe. So what's with kosher <v not? I wouldn't expect k)bster cavi«r (is there such a thing?) to be kosher, but what about all the other creatures with scales, fins and gills? Aren't they sllowed? What are you gonna do?... you live to be a mature dtizen; you Utink you know what's ok and what'a trefe and aUof a auddtn aomebocty throwa you a curve. Beato me; but one thing I certainly understand without aqy trouUe. Where it comae to creative, Mght and clever sdentiata. you have to give Haifa Tech the honoral Leave it to them to come up with intelligent hicra^ve, inventive ideaa.
But my beet dream ia to become a travel agent. I graduated from special courses in the Soviet Union and became a guide there. So, in addition to the pleasant aatisfactian I had woridng with people, I learned more about money and saw the ooontiy. Besidee being the guide, I was also an agent who accompanied the tourist groiqiM to diMcrent dtiee, placed them in the hotela and provided them, through different agencies, with whatever th^y would need dming their trip. I broqi^t some letters from some Russian organizationa who would like to have contacts in the field of tourism with ths Soviet Union. In my undwstanding, it may be very intereeting becauae Ruasia is huge and very rich in museums, and I imow this woric wi^ the tourists and tbe country and their rules. . Some American companies have certain connections with the industrial business of the Soviet Union and they mig^t need me as an interpreter. I don't know exactly the names of these companiee and what they are interested in, but I Imow that ConAgra has some contacts with the Soviet Union. But that will be very intereeting to me and may be of aome help to the company. I don't know the other companies who have or evm would like to have the contacts with the Soviet Union, but for me it will be easier to realiie what place to go, whom to addrees and so on. With the help of my editor (a wonderful man), I am learning how to type on the computer and perhi^ I can be a eecretary in aome office or work in a salea position in a store. In the meantime, I am feeUng very nice in the newspaper, working among vary Uod people and learning from them very much.

It'a a little Uka the apace adantiato who worked out the unheard <rf klaa of putting humane in space and on the nsoon. Baaic stuff like this they can do—human behavior ia Bomsthing alae. So that'a the story... now people can make artificial caviar and ersatz everything dae. I wonder what's next...

parting a Jmriah acfuiiMtioB ia a cradal pnraqniaito for the mainteHanoe and vitality of a atroog Jewiah communal life, acoocding to a new study by the American Jewish Committee. "Jewish Affiliation: An Agenda for Research," a "think piece" by Dr. Jonathan Woocher, was commissioned by the Ameri-
can Jewiah CVunmittee to target aiaaa for farther study in the area of Jewish affiliation. Woochar, executive vice prasideat of the Jewish Education Service of North America, is a former associate profeesor of Jewish communal service at Brandeis Umversity. He is the author of "Saorad Sur vivak The CivO Religiao of American Jews." LJttle research has existed until now to he^ organizations
understand how and why Jewsdwoee to afiCOiate. The difference between thoee who choose to affiliate and thoee who do not, Woocher said, is that "the network of organizations that comprise what we think of as 'the Jewish community' lives and thrivea off the energies and financial tesomt»a" of Jews who affiliate. Those who do not affiliate "make no effective
ceotribatiao to the collective life of American Jewry," he said. What is known about the subject of Jewish afffliation is derived from the work of only a handful of schdars. In his report, Woocher cites studies conducted by Queens College sociologist Steven Cohen for the Americsn Jewish Committee that contradict the widespread assumption that the majority of Ama>

Since people cannot affiliate with "the Jewish community," aa in Europe, they must choose to join and aupport spedfie organisations, be they synagogues, commum^ centers, national membership organizational spedat-pntpoae organintions or Jewiah federations. "Impmct" alao needa to be a fBctor. What hai^iens as a reoult of affiliation? How doee it affect the individual's ongoing relationship with the Jewish community, his or her Jewish identity or identification? And does affiliati(m fulfill the expectations that motivated it? Furthermore, how to organization initiativee and reepcnsee, such a membei^ ship drives, fund-raising, | outreach and public rdations campaigns, isffect affiliation? Woocher~^conduded that "the study of Jewish affiliation represents a substantial and potentially finitful area of research for Jewiah scholars and the Jewiah community."

ican^e The availaUa data indicatae that "the vaat majority of American Jews send their children at one time or another to some form of Jewish schocd," Woocher wrote. It also shows that most adult Jews say thoy contribute to Jewish philanthropies; and while only about hslf of American Jews belong to a synagogue, membership increaaes dramatically for families with schooi-sge children. In cities with sizeable Jewiah populations, the vast majority of Jews belong to a Jewish organization and read a Jewish newspaper, although that does not apply in the very largest dties—New Ywk, Chlcsgo and Los Angeles. Establishing a guideline for future in-depth research into the subject, Woocher listed five aress for study, starting with motivations, propensities and opportunities to affiliate. There is a need to know which biographical factors such as family background, Jewiah education and socialization ezperiencM will atimulate a desire to affiliate. It is also necessary to

TlMn are many devices in my ho&e I have traubk operating, but they are simiik contraptions for most teanagers to handle. The first on my list, of course, would be the ever popular VCR.

The second device looms large in everjrd^y life. Teens make use of it, ccHporationa manipulate your time with it and, yes, even I will resort to using its services on occasion. The telephone answering machine has progressed far beyond any usage Al^ander Graham ever intended fw the simple telephone. If you're not home, the answering machine will record that very important call for you. If Suzy says she called you but you just weren't htOoe, check your answering machine. If you're waiting for that meanings ful can to sse if you have a date for Saturday night, don't just sit around the house. Hook your telephone up with that marvelous little recorder and go have a good time. Maybe you're out just a little past your curfew and call home to tell your parents you have been detained. What if they're out also? No problem, leave a measage on ye ole answering machine. It keeps you out of trouble and saves time and quarters. The most I can ever manage on my answering machkie is a sinqde, "Please leave your name and number at the aoond of the beq>." However, famfliarity breeds crsativity and teenagers are using their machines to foster their own ingendty.
