Mr. Engman congratulated Omaha on the imminent success of the local Operation Exodus campaign, but urged those who have made pledges to do their utmost in paying what th«y can immediately. "IBTMI had projected the influx of 70,000 Soviet Jews this year, but now it looks as if tbqr win h«ve to re^sttle 150,000 or mote." Mr.Engman stated. "TUs opportunity to participate in the emigration of Soviet Jews to Israel and the United States has changed my Ufe," he said, adding that Operati<m Exodus should t<Mich the heartstrings of responsible Jews everyMe pointed out that the Dee Moines canqMdgn had an original goal- of $760,000, but that enthusiasm in the community encouraged a doubling of the goal to $1.6 mOUon. and now it looks as if $2 millioD is obtamable.

Catholic, Jewish liaders to meet
By Mania MattBe
Pen mightier than ... There was an interesting atary aboat Eugene Linde and hia wife, Lydia, in last Siuiday's editioa irf the Omaha Worid-Hcrald. According to the atorjr, the Lindes chose Omalia as the dty to einigrate to because of a pen they found at the American Embasey in Moscow. The pep-carriad an inacription which read,"Hada»sah, Omaha. NE." There was no mention in the article as to how the pen got to the American Embassy xu« was there additi<nud inlonnatioo whidi could he^ the reader understand why the Lindes sdected Omaha as their target dty. Let me fill in aoma of the g^M. Lfst October Shiri^y Goldstein, co«hairman with Miriam Sfanon <rf the Omaha Jewish Federation's Soviet Jewry Committee, and Ruth Potaah, longtime vohmteer in bdialf of freedom for Soviet Jews, visited the Sovtot Union along with some 60 or so activiats from North Ainerica. .; Yours truly also fwnt on the trip so the informatian herewith is about as accurate as any reader might e^iect. Before leaving for the Soviet Union, Mrs. Goldstein and Mrs. Potaah contacted many local merchants 9nd Jewish organisations aaking for donations of rdigious articles. dotUng, mecEkail siqiplies, food and other items that oo«iid be distributed to Soviet Jews in Moscow, Leningrad and some of the Baltic States. The merchants and organizations were more than generous. I should know because I carried one of the dufM bags loaded to the zim>a- and the weight of the bag is so)iaething that my nervous system still rememberK' Among the doiated items were scores of Hadassahlabeied pens provided by Beverly Franklin. One of the Soviet Jews most have left the pen at the American Embassy the ni^ that our ambassador. Jack Matlock, hosted a party for the American contingent and many of the Soviet Jews we met. This is the pen that was found later by the Lindee and conaidered by them to be an omen of good hick. However, that is not the whcde story. Mrs. Linda had sat on my left, acrosa the table from Mrs. Goldstein and Mrs-Potash at one of the luncheon programs we attended during our stay in Moscow. It was at this luncheon that ahe first heard about this wonderful place called Omaha.

The conference, to be heki Sqit. 3 to 6. win be the first formal joint meeting since 1986 ot HM Vatican Secretariat on Rdigtous Relations With the Jews and the International Jewish Committee on IntemUgious Consultatims. Relations between the Vatican and the Jewish commmiity during the paat four years have been rocked by tenainns over the CarmaUte convent at AoachwiU and wrtHngs that PCpe Jo^ Paul II heU with Palestine libaration Organisation Chait^
man Yaair Arafat and Austrian Presidalt Kvft Waldhdm. As a result of these controversies. tJCIC tempcHarily suspeol&d formal meetings with the Vatican. But communication between Jewiah leaders and the Vatican Secretariat was never comidetely bndcenoff. A delegation of American Jewish Committee leaders had a Vatican audience with the pope in March, but the group did not daim to represent the world Jewish community, asUCICdoes. Presently, Jewish leaders involved in dialogue with the Vatican are pai^ ticolarly amdoua to formally voice their growing coneam that the death of Commnnist rule and the rebirth <rf democracy m Eaatera Europe have a concurrent rise in popular anti-Semitism in that part of the world.
Collaborators murdered by fellow Palestinians By Gn Sedan JERUSALEM <JTA) Five Palestinians suspected of collaboration with Israeli authorities were murdered by fellow Arabs, and four more wounded, while demonstrations in sui^xxt of Saddam Huakein continued throughout the weekend in tite administered territories. The most groeeome of the nnuders took {dace in Rafeh, at the southern end of the Gaza Strip. Ashraf al-Gharbali. 26. was in his father'a home when six masked men arrived and tried to attack him. After cloaing all entrances to the houee, Gharfoali pulled out a gun and began shooting in ths direction of his attackers. Hundreds of Rafah residents suntmnded the house, throwing stones, bricks and axes. Gharbali's fathw, faartaig his famfly'a aafety.

tried to open the door to the attackers, and was stabbed in the back by his son. When the younger Gharbali ran out of ammunition, he went out into the street widding a large knife. He was quickly surrounded by hundreds of residents and stabbed, then lynched to death. The other four faiddents took place in the Weet Bank. The body of Rabah Sayyaa, 27, was found in Nuelma. a Weet Bank village near Jericho. He had been kidnapped by Akram Sater, 22, was fatally wounded by shots firad at him fai Beitunia. near Ramallah. He died of wounde at Hadaasah Medfaal Csnter hi Jerusalem. In the town of Halhoul. near Hebron, yoiitha brake into the home of Ahmed Abdul Hadi al-Akrah. 86, and attadud him.
Jewish leaders believe the Catholic Church's stance can play an inywrtant role in combatting this trend. iWefne, they are encouraging effrats to educate and sensitize clergy in Eastern Europe to their role in fighting antiSemitism. "This was one of the reasons we pidted Prague far the conference," said Sejrmour Reich, who currently chairs IJCIC. Rabbi Marc Tanenbaum. a former IJCIC chairman and a pioneer in Jewish-Vatican rdations, explained that many of the Eastern European Catholic dergy "have no awareneea of the deep sourcee of anti-SemitaIsm in Christian tradithm." He said that the conference would explore the roote of Christian anti-Semitism and examine how the church's early demonization of Jews was appropriated and expanded by Addf Hitler.
"If we are ever going to contain (H-even uproot the fervent anti-Semitiam in Eastern Europe, we have to hdp the key authorities in PoLand, in Hungary, in Czechodovakia that vrill be preamt at the conferenccKto^understand the magnitude of the hatred that was engendered by these teachings," Tanenb<ati|) said. "Only then can they can cope with contonporary anti-Semitism." Before tbe series of controversies disn^ted Cathdie-Jewish diak^oe, a Vatican document containing a fullscale examinaticm of the history of anti-Semitism in the church and its behavior during the Holocaust had been in the preliminary stages. "This conference in Prague, if all goes well, could contribute to putting tiaa project back on the track." Tanenbaum aaid.

So I guess the point of this colunm is always to be aware someone is following in your footsteps. Some kid out there thinka what you do is great. To him you're not a teenager who haa to be told what to do, but somebody who already knows everything. (Don't tell jrour mother I said thati)

A lot of people are w<HTied about what Idnd of heroea teenagers have, Y^^do th^ look up to?

Some of us tend to forget that by the tinie yoaare a teenago' you have nuicmer of pe^^ who kxrit iq> to you. Kids idio live down the street and tide their tricycles everywhere—thmr can follow you on your bike t^ think you are the comest. The children you babysit {or would ivobaUy spend a Saturday nig^t with you rather than their parents. In a society where many of the advertising messages are aimed at you, it's easy to forget there's someone stsndingiq line who wants to see vriiat you do so he can do it exactly the same. Those of you with young brothers and sisters certain^ can appreciate that th^ want to do evetything yoo do, but remember it's flattery and not just befag a Inat that causes this imitation. There is a group of teens in the community'w^ are very aware of the affect their presence has on those in gradesdiooL ... Ann Kibel Scfawarts, religious education director at Tenq;>lelarad, uses 10 teenagers aateadiersaidea.'She says it offers bpth teenwgws and yoongar kids big benefits."IWe is no better way to leani than by teaching." She pointa out that some of the teens working aa aides plan to go into the teaching field. The teenagers help teachers set up the classroom. JKOvide both physical and emotional support and may lead a game or tell a stoiy. "Tlie teenagers provide a wonderful role model for the little chOdran." Mrs. Schwartz says, She also sees the added benefit of having another way to get teens involved in their rdUgion. It's Andy Weitz's first year to be a tef(cher's aide. He's 13 and is in the West Middle School this year. Andy took the job because he had enjoyed his time at rdil^ous schod when he was a student working with a teacher's aida "I also think it is a respectful position." Stade Katelman, who is a senior at Burke this year, returns to her third year as a teacher's aide. She will be teaching Hebrew on Monday nights to seventh gradns. She e^joya it because, "I've always wanted to go into education, perhaps early childhood education." Stade plans to go to college at Northwestern Missouri State or Kansas University. "I haven't really made vqp my mind yet." Jeffrey Engel returns to his fourth year as a teacher's aide at Temple Israel. He says, "I enjoy working with kids." Jeffrey, a senior at Omaha Westside High, helps teach basic philosophy. "I explain the baaic views of Judaism." He will be wcM^ng with fourth graders under Don Schwartz. In tlie past several years Jeffrey was an aide to Mitch Siegel. "He was great. He really helped me a lot," Jeffrey said.

A lot of people are worried about what kind of heroes teenagers have. Who do they kxik up to? Whose dioee do th^ want to wdk in? Your parents hold their breath and hope your mentor is not the guy who drives the foster car nor the woman who has to dumge her. dothes 16 times tMlore she ready to go anywhere. Some of us tend to forget that by the time yoaare a temager you have nunJter of peoftle who look up to you. Kids wiio live down UM street iai ride their tri^des everywha«—they can follow you on your bike and think you are the coolest. The children you babydt for would probably spend a Saturday ni^t with you rather than their parents. In a society where many of the advertising messagBSf. are aimed at you, it's easy to forget there's someone standing a\ hne who wants to see vduit you do so he can do it ezsctly the same. Those of you with young brothers and sisters certainly can appreciate that they want to do eveiything you do, but remember it's flattery and not just bdng e brat that causes this imitation. There is a group of teens in the communitjy'wlKParB very awaie of the affect their iffeaence IUU.OB "^me in grade sdiooL „ Ann Kibd Schwartz, religious education director at Tenqde Israel, uses 10 teenagers as teachers aides, fthe says it often both teenagers and younger kids big benefits, "niere is no better wiQT to leam than by teaching." She pdnta out that some of the teens wodfdng as ddes plan to go into the teaching fiekL The teensgers he^ teachers set iq> the classroom, Jirovide both physical and emotioad siqipart and may lead a game or tdl a story. "The teenagers provide a wonderful role model for the little chikiren." Mrs. Schwartz says, She also sees the added benefit of having another way to get teens involved in their rdigicm. It's Andy Wdtz's first year to be a telpher's aide. He's 13 and is in the West Middle School this year. Andy took the job because he had enjoyed his time at relii^ous school when he was s student working with a teadter's aida "I also thidi it is a respectfol poaidoit." Stade Katehnan. who is a senior at Burke this year, retiuns to her third year as a teacher's dde. She will be teaching Hebrew on Monday nights to seventh graders. Sl^ enjoys it because, "I've dways wanted to go into education, perhaps early childhood education.'' Stacie plans to go to college at Northwestern Missouri State or Kansas Univeruty. "1 haven't really made up my mind yet." Jeffre/ Engd returns to his fourth year as a teacher's ude at Temple Israd. He says, "I enjoy working with kids." Jeffrey, a senior at Omaha Westside Hifl^ helps teach basic philosophy. "I explain the basic views of Judar ism." He will be worldng with fourth graders under Don Schwartz. In the past severd years Jeffrey was an aide to Mitch Siegd. "He was great. He really hdpad me a lot," Jeflbrey sdd. So I guess the point of this column is dways to be aware someone is following in your footsteps. Some kid out there thinks what you do is great. Tb him you're not a temager who has to be tdd what to do, but sotnebody who alroady knows everything. (Don't tdl your mother I said thati)

PLO'S support for Iraq carries a financial and political price By Howard Soaenberg WASHINGTON (JTA) —The Palestine Kiberatkn Organization wED suSsr financially and politically because of its snppwt fbr Iraq in the Persian Gulf crisis, Bfiddle East experts say. And it ^>pear8 that Palestinian residents ot the West Bank and Oaca StEq> have abeady begun paying the bill for their enthusiastic baddng of Saddam Hussein. But the pundits say a aodden cutoff of funds from abroad doee not necessarily mean there will be a dfanfamttoa of the Palestinian upriaing in the Weat Bank and Gaza Strip, which has been funded by the PLO and its Arab backara. The PLO has been distributing a few hundred dollars annually to each Paleartnian faniUjr in the territories. The money comes from a poo) of hundrtds of mOlioaa of dollars raiaad in. Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and ether Pn«ian Gulf states through a 6 to 6 percent "income tax" thai baMllts the Paleetine Natknal Fund. In addition, Saudi Arabia. Kuwait and other Gulf statee make direct conttibutians to the PLO that hava bean totaling another
hundred million dollajrs annually. Of the funds retained by the PLO. two thirds go to Al Fatah, the main branch controlled by Yasir Anfat. and one third go to other PLO constituent groups, said Hdena Cobban, an expert on the PLO who is visiting peace ftlUaw at George Mason University. Cobbsn said both the direct aid and the tax proceeds win likely be terminated because of the PLO's siqipart of Irsq. As arenilt. Paleetinians in the tenitories are likely io receive significsntly reduced ski frtim the PLO. In addition, a reduction is expected in contributions from ralativee in the Persian Gulf. Before the Iraqi invasion, at least 250.000 Paleetinians woriced in Kuwait flnd used to tmsfer funds to support their fB»i»nL>T in the territoriee. That Biqjport waa estimated to be between 1180 million and $200 million annually. Now. many of thoee worksre have fIjBd. Cobban aaid ahe has heard aome "terrible stories" about Palestinians in Kuwait whose businesses have hem "w^ped out." Meanwhile. Saudi Arabia. whk&
is furious witii ths PLO, . has. -frozen Paleatinian aaeets in ita badka. The esta'mirted loes is another $10 million. : As a result of thsse cutbacks, hospitals, developmsnt pro!}ects and welfare organizations in ths administered territoriee that used to be fiuah with generous contributions from the Gulf states are now faced with empty cash boxes. Ths Moksssed Hospital in East Jerusalem, which had been receiving 76 per^ cmt of its income from Kuwaiti sources, must now look elsewhere for funding. But whether this funding curtailment will snuff out the intifada icniains to be aeen. Leaders of the Paleetinian uprising have abeady demonstrated their abOi^ to absorb "strong soonomic blows," Cobban pointed out. "I don't think the economic situation can get a lot worse," particniaity in the Gaza Strip, she said. Barry Rubin, ssnior felkm at the Wsshingtoo Institute for Near East Policy, ssld the intiCKia U "vary much weakened" in that funding is being cut off for Palestinian fastl-

Inouye sounds somber warning on Iraq's threat to Israel By AlHaon Kaplan NBW YOBJK (JTA) The atmosphere waa grim as a leading congressional siqiporter of Israel warned more than 100 Jewish leaders here that the bdUgerenoe of Iraq's Saddam Hussein rqnresents "one of the greatest threats in the hist«y of the Jewish people." Sen. Daniel Inotpre (D-Hawaii),
addressing the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organ!zationa,' said that the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait poses both a short-term threat and a long^erm danger to the Jewish state. As an immediate ctmcem, Israel faces the threat of military attack from Iraq, Inouye said. He
told rqjwrton that "if thia thing erupta and if I know Saddam' Hussein, shells will be falling on Tel Aviv." But Inooye said it should alao be worrisome to suiqKirters of Israel that the United Statea has found itself "coxying up" to Arab statee opposing Iraq, whUe "distancing" itself from Israel The potential long-term

Ptesent at the Aug. 21 cenmooy were Soviet offidala, at least pne Israeli and two American Jews: Sidney Kwestd. president of the Unkm of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America, and New York City Councilman Noach Dear. The ceremony, televised in tii«,«oviBt UMoDk «uid announced in local newspapers, indnded fluttering Israeli flags.

"One vital put of that change is to forever buiy the horrid past that has characterized UkrainianJewi8lfrslati<m8 over the past centuries," he said. Kharkov, acentsrof the Zionist movement before the Holocaust, has been the scene of numerous official anti-Jewish activitiea over the years, including numerous arrest of worshipers, the closure at a matzah-baking factory by polke in 1960 and the plowing over of a Jewish oeoMtery in 1967 to make apobUc park.

B'nai B'rith, SB Women By Andrew Ooldsaitii NEW YORK (JTAK B'nai Brith International and B'nai Brith Women appear to have ended years of dispute by reaching a landmarii five-year agreement which mutually recognizes each organization as an independent, self-governing organization. The agreement qMdfies the independent nature of the groiq>, including budgetary and administrailve functions that had previously ^ -en controlled by B'nai b rith International, aooording to BBW president Harriet Horwitz. "B'nai B'rith Intemational's oonstitution contained a section, now changed, that technically gave them the power to control anything that BBW wouki want to do." saidHorwiti. "Ilbare i|as more and more of- a awise to establish a mer^rsd organization and do away with BBW," she continued, "Now, it is no longer a danger." BBI preddent Sqrmour Reich said the issue "needed to be resolved" and had been "misunderstood." "It was thought by some that BBI was denying BBW /uU aqaaUty, when hi fact it wasn't," said Reich. "Now, the BBI name is protected and BBW has -
an admoidedged and formalized agreement." Current members of BBW who partidpate in the membar insurance program may continue that partic^tton without being required to become members of BBI. Evapkiyess of BBW in the B'nai B'rith pension (rian will contlnae to contribute to the plan until BBW elects to tenninate partidpatimi in the plan. The agreement also provides for the continued involvement of BBW reineseatatives with the ^tiDefamation League and B'nai B'rith Youth Organisations, while BBW TTifi»it#tii its financial obligations to B'nai B'rith Youth Organization and HiOd. Under terms of the agraement. BBW is not dOowad to accept members outoide of the United States and Canada exduding current membara or thoee who move.
' An October 1988 resolution had declared BBW a "separate, independent, autonomous organization." A Dec 3 resolution that year increased the friction between the organiiations when it gave the women's group 14 days to rescind ^ resolution. On Dec: 19, BBW voted to reaffirm its separate legal status, whidi th^ say was attained in 1962 when they recdved kgal incorporation from the federal government. The dispute reached its braling point when a Jan. 28,1990, resdntimof the BBW executive board condemned recent BBI actions and charged the organizatian with possifale fraud. Two lattera were sent to BBW members. Ode of whidi soggeated that members would loae B'nd B'rith heaUi and Itfe insurance without the remittance of duee to BBI.

Mr. Kaston aays Maria Padilla tdls the story of the son of a Idng who is in love with a 3roang girl, but has to marry tibe dau^tor of the King of France. "It is the <dd story of being torn between duty and love," he Bays. While admitting the plot is somewhat WMk, Mr. Kaston says the music is "very dramatic very vei^ satUe. Not juat a ainqile melody, bat deeper aid more emotionaL" Mr. Kastoo studied in Td Aviv for two years be> fore an Amarican critic heard him. Whan he heard what the critic had to say about his yoice, the young singer wanted to mn away. "I was ahodwd. I thought I was perfect. It was trlghtenfaig, but I swallowed my pride and faced my fear." As k result of thia confrontation with a critic he went to the Manhattan School of the Metropolitan Opera in New York. Mr. Kaston says the ctmomt of an opera ainger Is in uw process of dumging in Israel Before the change he aald, "If you ' had a voice and wains very muaical you thought you were good." Aa an early student fai Israel he aald be did not have the needed
Motti Kaatoa sustain notes. Mr. Kaston views Omaha as an Important place to open operas, "because critics come to watch shows here.' The Israeli opera singer said anriienrea in Omaha are very Bunporttve with money but tend to be "a bit reaeryed" as an aodienee. Raf^ anyone yells, "Bravof" he laofl^ied. Becanae he grew up in Israbl Mr. Kastoo says bis feelings are diffiwent elnotiooaOy. He atill keeps fai touch with rektivee fai lared. Juat a few days ago he called a friend in larael to tease Um. "DU you buy your gaa mask yet?" be ^fftf^ Mm
He said he didn't realize the situation was so serious untfl his friend tdd him the joke was not funny. Motti Kaston wants the people of Omaha to leaUae iHiat a great ofiera organization they haive in Omaha. "It is veryiimwrtaQt and I am luq)py to be here here." he said.
