The curious case of KolNldrei By BabW Btntd 8.1 )C<nnlskt IMt JtiBlili TittmÛt Aamtf. IM) ST. PAUI#-Kol Nkirai is ooe of tlw most popular and powarfiil prayen to be ftwnd in Jewish liturgy. Yet it is not rsa^r a prayer but a legal fommla which doee not oven mentkn the name of Ood. The origin of its famous roelo4y is unknown snd its inchiaion in the prayer book was strongly opposBd by several inmninent rabbis. The setting of Kol Nidrai iriik:h begins the Yam Kip:|iur service i» that of a Jewish court. Two people hold Tonh aerafls at either ekle of the cantor, thus oon^tutfaig • Bath Dfai, a court of three which 1^ required for the hgri pnoadon of granthig the dispsBMtiaB limm The Kol Nidrei is praosded by a brief paragraph itf> IvoUng the Acadmrdta Hl|;h. wfak^ is the heavenly iijâd)^ of rabbis. Because the redtatiaa ia tai the natura <>f a court procedure, whicli could not be conducted oc 'a hoUd«r, it is ledtad befon sunset. Since it is chanted beCon urk, it ia the practice to put on the tallit, or jirayer ahawL The test ia a dedaratioa of the annulment of vows. It ia a pridss togsl formula in which the worshiper proclaims that aU psrsooal vows, oaths, etc that tbty made i^fnwltthigly, raahly or nnkaowhi|AK (uxi *1>^ coaaai^âotly cannot be folfiUad) daring the year ahottid be I floosiders4.null snd void. ; Howavsr, k shoukl be pointed oat that the Tahnud OTtBM 8:W MOV «si^t)y,''Yarn Klivsiir atoosa for sins Ûgafaiat God.

Kd Nidrai was [M'ooUsctive rather than an hidivtdual annulment. It ia ji niatuie of Hebrew and Aramaic, the common laniûage than hi use.

llMre an two otiMr eayteatioBS fsrlte hitrodnctkML AcMidfaig to BabU Mordecai bsnHOUl; who lived hi Oermaoy in the 13th century, this formula wss institoted fay Rabbi Meir b«a Banich, the Maharam hbRoth' enborg (d. 1298), to permit traasgreeeon whoJiad baiB excomiTHinicated because of their deflsnce of commimsl regulationa to worahip with the congragatkm. Toward the eod of the 19th oeatuiy, Joeeph Bloch propoeed tiie theory that Kol Nidtei aroae in the eeventh oeetmy when secret Jews, who bad been convwted to Chriatisaity after persecution by the Viaigoths (590-711), would come to the synagogue on Yarn K^ pur eve. According to Bkxh, Kol Nidrei waa their ospreaakui of orerwhdainc^pM at their apoetaay, and wu their mean^ of seeking absohition for vows they had been forced to tdw to an sliea faith. Bloch daimsd that in subaequeat centurias, during persecutiaBS by the kter Bysantiae ndan (700-86(9. and atill later under the Spenish laqafaitkm (1991-1492), the Kol Nidiei served s similar poipoee. When it first sppesred it wee condemned by many genarationa of rabbis. It waa oppoaed on the grounds that it offered an easy msans to avoid peraoQ^obligations. After all, Kol Nidrei theoretically iliade it poeaifale for eomeooe to take a vow, knowing that it couU be annulled next Yom Kippur. AoconUni^, the rabbis cleariy ruled it oould not be qqpUed to promisee made to another peraoa. In the 12th century tb^ changed the warding to tasofe tUe. Unfortunately, Kol Nidrei ahMt served aa a pretext for anti- Semitic alandar. During the Middle Ages hi par ticular, Chriatians uaed the. formula aa an excuse of isolating Jews from partidpatkm in Mksinsss, chdmfaig that the wwd of s Jew coukl not be trusted When tlM Reform moveDOeot began in 19th-century Germany. Kol Nidrai wee <Wated from the Utwgy. It was not antn 1962 that the text appeand hi the Union Prayer Book and now in the new Oatea of Repsatance.

One ofthe moat damaging publicity claims was that Israel knew in advance that Om U.S. Marine Barracks in Labanon was to be attacked by tarnuists and that Israel did not notify the Americana.

Instead of inteoaiiying its warning to the Americana, the head of Mosaad decided to give just the usual general warning.

PalwNaiitniiii YORK (JTAhJewish leaders era acheduled to meet with Pope John Paul II and other Vatican AfJBcials in November, tocommemorato and build on the historic statements made in the 1966 church document "Nostra Aetate." It will be the first meeting between the pope and oflkial representatives of world Jewry since September 1987, iriien Jews wen still smarting from the pope's meeting three lAonths eerlier with Kurt Waklheim. Until then, the Auetrian preaident had been shunned by world leaders because of revelations about his Naii past Whils ths Vatican and UCIC, the Intanational Jewish Committee on Intarreligious Consultations, have agreed in principle to the November meeting, the details snd schedufe have yet to be confirmed. UCIC is ths umbrella grotq) recognised by the Vatican to npresent worid

[

Jewry in Ctthoikslewish nsflotiations. Ito nambers indude B'nai B'rith Inter national, the Israel Interfaith Committee, the ^agogue Conndl of America and the World Jewish Congress. The merthig, slated to take place in Rome on Nov. 14 and 16, is being viewed as a chance to fleeh oiit a six-point plan woriced out at a meeting of Cathdic and Jewish officials in Prsgue earlier this month. At that conference. Catholic leaders refetied to anti-Semitiam fostered or condoned by the drarch se a sin and asked for fcn^ givenees by the Jewish people. The two gnxqw created a plan to discourage anti-Semitism, particularly in Eastern and Centrd Europe. Appnu^natdy 20 npresentatives from the Jewish community wOI be attending ths two dsys of private and public meetings in Rome, according to Rabbi Jack Bemporad.

Aridor, a former finance minister and dose ally of Levy's, is expected to go to New Ygrii in a few weeks to shepherd the Isradi delegation throu^ moot of Oensrd Assembly's fall session. He win repUoe Johansn Bain, who has been Israd's acting rapraaentative since Binysmfai Netsqydni rsaigned the UJif. post in the spring of 1988 to stand for election to the Knesset. A Iswyer by profesdon snd conddered one of the keenest minds in Isradi politics, Aridor waa forosd to reeign tnm the IVeasury hi 1983, in the sftermath of the massiYe cdlapse of bsnk shares on the stock mariiet. Though he esoqied the

tahit of acandd, ha dropped oat of tiis Uknd Kneesst Hat and rsmaJned on the fainge of politics in the enmiing years. But he waa dways a staunch supporter of Levy's. The patrician attorney and the former brickleyer of Moroccan origin worked dosdy.togetiier in the likud faction of . Histadrot, the trade union iederation, when the oppodtioa Labor Party is still dominant Aridor's sppointment to the sendtive snd prestigiotts post was seen here as a move by Levy to ctmBoHdate Us poUtkd standing in Likud snd reward an old and loyd frfend. It gives Levy a trusted confidant in an overseas hot spot. Aridor, unlike his immediate pndeoeasora, ia not a career d^omat.

Operatlonitxocius success in Ti^ronto By JoCwran Last winter wbm I btgaa to write "Between Teene" I knew I would have • deadUne to meet evoy week. A new thoogbt,« differait subject to eipoond on, unique queationa would have to be aaked It would be easy. After aUI had helped raiae aiz, ahnoat seven teenafsra. (Oneis still in theraisingproceaat) We've been thraoi^ . almoet everything together unmade beds, pilM of dirty iaundry, supper dishee, late night phone calls, driving leaaoos in the family car and the jitters of firat dates. And then there were all the wsnn predous moments we shared: the excitement of winning Ute swim team's first heat, the fun of eating the fbst edible meal tooked without assistance, the thrill of being choeen to participate in an honors program, and the rdief that everybody did finally get to be 16 and learn how to drive well enooig^ to get their driver's license. But I reaUsed today that there is one thing we can't share: writer's block. You know the fteUng you get iriun you know you could get some words down on paper if you could just hear the right music see the {ttedse imagee in your mind Or feel the emotions that would automatically create imagee oo p^>er. I can't ahaie writer'a block with aqy teenager because neither of us haa that freedom. You can't ten your BngBahtaaehar that you don't have a paper written on Mark Twain'a lifs because you weren't in the mood. And I can't aay, "I'm sorry Mr. Maline, (my editor) but nothhig really caught my attention this week. I'm g(Mng to wait until the leaves change colors to improve my mind and my mood." It doesn't work that way. You have to write your paper and I have to write my oriumn. Sometimes it takes any extra amount of concentration and effcnt, other times it flows quite freely. A lot of things in life are that way. There's really never a right moOd to take the garbage out or write a thank you note to a relative who remembered your birthday, but whose face is a blur to you. I've found that putting a achedule down on pq)er h^M forestall procraatinatiao. If yon see what has to be done in blade a&d white (or pink and green, if you're usiog.fancy piper and pen) it doesn't seem eo insurmountable. Granted it doesn't improve your mood and that Engiiah paper still ham't been written, but at hMst you've verified you intend to do it. A liat puts you in motion, it points out rather quickie you have things to accompliah that can't wait for that certain fading. Put a time achedule with your liat also. It doean't have to be rigid. Dcn't try to get a theme writ' ten by a certain hour; if you do and it takee you longer than you anticipated it migiit throw your whole schedule • off. Instead keep thinga simple. Make a list for each d«y, and be aware that not all of the items on it may gst done. If one of my children tells me they're not in the mood to finish a book or write a poem that's due tomorrow, I juat remind them they're never in the mood to waah tlw dishes either!

Baer's excellent book, "Dealoffice at WCAU-TV, atjr line & Monnment, Philadeling in Fututea: llie Story of a Jewish Yoqth Movephia 19131 (Phone: 215.-66M643). ment," I enooontared a parade of people and places I had also eneountaed on a regular bc^s when I was iTOwing up in Omaha, where I was the beneficiary of the great Jewish leadership epitomized by Sam Bc^.

... ID Sam Beber'a case, the man was even better than the myth..

By Herb I am liooored l>y this award from AZA, the premier Jewish youth organixatioa. I am doubly lianand by the fact tliat the award bears the name of Sam Beber, a great Jewish leader and organizer, a man of such outstanding character, humanity, idealism and achieveineiit, yet a man of such modesty and hanJUty. I knew Siim Beber when I was growing up in Omalia, and I can say that everything I know about liim from n^ penooal experieooe ccniStms aQ of the good things that have been said about him over the years at conventions Uke thia one. The myths surroqpdhig great man often give them more than they are entitled to: But I know that in Sam Beber's case, the man was e^ Mkter than the myth; the man deservee aU the cTMtt givan to him, phis a lot more. He was geoerooi uid fMedL abnoat to a fault, and therefore probaUy did vot dUm or gat all the hoBora and credit that he deiirvad. I also knew Sam Beber's family, ids wife, Helen; his son. Hv^y; his dau^itera, Jane raid Joan; his brothers, Dave and Bfeyer and the rest ot his fandl^. In fact, nty oppoctuaitiea in AZA came about because ' of one of oy beat friends, a Ufa-long friend, Harley Beber, who was Sam Beber's only son. Harl^ waa a fellow member of AZA f 1, the Mother Chapter, back in 1945, and along with a tUrd mambar. Gene Jaooba, we wan known aa the IVee Mualcateara. In 1946,1 sUpped the meeting at iriiich the oOeara of the chapter were to bo elaetad. A gnxq) lad by Hailagr wamt happy with the p«r«a alakad to bo aaniaatad tar Aliph Maridr.

Aa a raault, tha next year I was , elected AlephOodol of AZA fl and AlephOodololoar redon. This gave ras a taate for laadirshlp and action that I iMva oariibsd aver fiaoa aad wUcb pva ma the knowhow and OMMSH* ttf do what I waatid to dQ with the reil of ny m Aad, b a real amaa, I owf ft sU to the . fact that I aldppad that eiaetioB Btaatteg aad Uiat I had a |9od friend in Hfriqr B«(Mr. F- Wit I alao had a food friend fai Omaha, in ita superb ' : pubik achoola, and ia ita owUtandiM Jewiab oommu' nity which oonteibutod so many laaoers and fcleaa for ' tha benefit of all of ua,iaehidfaic the ptraon of Sam Beber and Ua UMS and ideals i^ich pve ua AZA.

I also bad a good Mead in Omsdia, I ita superb pubUe fHibotila, and in its itataaiing Jewish community... \ For axaiBjple, my Hebrew toaehar at Ontaha'a Talmud Iteah. Jadah WoUaon, heipad create the aaaia gtvan to AZA. I spsat time abnoat avsry day at tha Omaha Jawlih Caimauaity Center at SOth and Dodfs Straata, whan neh o( tlM Mrly Uatoiy df AZA udirfdad. I, of oourae, ramanbar PhU Khitaaidt and Hanry ;onaky, two of the fiaata of Mth century Jawiah loadlUp whan t waa growing up,.

Thatleaderalup and traditi<m that nurtured AZA in Omaha also provided me with my best instincts, my point of view and my aj^iroach to life. Whan you're growing up, when you're at that point of life idtere I was about 46 years ago in Omaha utd wiiere you.are now, you don't even realize or appreciate the inqtadf of your teachers, schools, reUgim and oommuni<y. Sometimes it takes decades, and then in a flash of insight you suddenly realize what you are now and what you do and bdieve were determined years ago, in seembigiy insignificant ways and places that, fai fact, have had a profound and controllinig infhienca <RI your life. . I had my flash of insight about 20 years ago when I came across something Albert Einstein had written in 1933. -

Yet, I usually aee people ao lacking in the passion for , justics. so laddng hi courage and guts that they are afrtdd to speak out and tell the truth. For ezai^tle, I usually aee doctors whaunderstand the abuses of the medical system, but are unwilling to speak on the record out of fear of offending their colleagues, out of an unwillingnees to rock the boat, out of lack of any passion for justice. I see government officials and others all the time who tolerate the most obscene inequities, the most deadly policies they know to be wrong, but &id a thousand excuses for ignoring the most ^vious truths and maintaining the most inexcusable ailoice. ^ I can tell you I have never had that problem. In fact, having been raised in the Omaha Jewiah copmiunity gave birth to AZA, having, in fact, been a part of AZA where I was always among fui active group of youiig men inculcated in the same txadition, afteroaving my skills in debato aild parliamentary sharpened m AZA activities, havhig gained a sense of confidence and kwderahip throu^ my experiance in AZA. Ihave always been wOfing^to speak out and critfadie the most power ful interests when tbey seem to be in the wrong. One of my happiest memories was a day early in toe 1970's when my work as Pennsylvania Insurance Commissioner for insurance and he^th care reform brau^ on tlie wrath of tlie insurance industry, docton and lawyers. On a aingie day, all three groiqpe, qwaldng through their major stotewide organizations, itwmaniWl that the governor of Pennaylvania, who appohited me, fire me. Fortunately, the public and the fflvartor nttderstood theae groups were peeved ain^ily becauee I was advocating reforms that would slightly dsflato their income and that I was not doing anything improper. Hie call for my resignation was laui^ied away l^ the public and the governor, and no one laughed longer than I did.

Punishments varied from prison to probation. The soldiers, nearing the end of their three-and-ahalf years of compulsory military service in the army, navy or air force, were sent to a training base to prqtare for future reserve duty in the artillery.

Yom Kippur, a day for purifying tl)e wiiole person By Mare Tanenbanm <OiW»%ht mt, ItiMk Tilir ijHt htmtf. hcj NEW YORK—The chanUng ot the moving Aramaic prayer of Kol Nidrei on Friday evening, Sept. 28, will imnigarate the observance of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement the meet sacred of the Jewiah holy days. Observed as a solemn fast day bom sundown to sundown, Yom Kqipur is characteriaed by individual and communal spiiitiial exercises to renew one's hmer life for the coming year. Its perennial message is that it is possiUe fx human beinga to hi^rove their character, to stimgthen ^heir ethical conscience and moral responsiWUty through the religious disc^)line of Teshuvah, turning away from error and sfai. In the synagogue on Kol Nidrei evening, every pe^ son is called upon to turn to Us or her nd^ixM* and ask forgiveness for any hurts or injustices hiflicted during tiw past jrear. Jewiah tradition aays that Yom Ki^^ur will be of no avail unless and until people forgive each other and start a fresh and mutually respectful rdationship. Teshuvah, the |dea of a person's abiUty to change for the better, is regarded as one of the brightest jewels among the teacUngs of Judaism, for it is the foundation for optimism and hope. If people had no escape finm shi and erro', they would be crushed forever. No perBoa is &ee of sin, but no one can sink so low that he or ahe cannot turn away from wrongdoing, if only the effort is seriously made to change. How does eqe repent and do Teshuvah? Maimonides, the medieval Jewidi philosopher, distilled three stages: recognition of irin—eenfeesion—that is, diagnosis of the illneM; expression of genuine regret, which marks the beginning of the healing process; and the resolution to change, to ahi no more, followed by a detennined decision to paisue.4 ri{^teou8 path. Yom Kippur, therefore, is not a magical day itf pardon. Rather, thia day of prayer and fasting is.an annual experience designed to enable fragmented, disoriented men and women in all their frailty to be rost<ved to a state of ethfeal and sphitual wholeness necessary to carry but i| missiim of redemptive woric in the worid. It is a message worthy of reflection and commitment (m the part of all Jews, snd of all people who crave for sphitual integration and human solidarity. Rabbi Marc H. Tanenbanm ia hitemational relations consultant to the American Jewish Committee and is immediate past chairman of the International Jewish Committee for Interreligious Consultations.

Thraogfa the years Mr. Woskoff worked his way up in the aircraft business and-then went on to work in different fields of retail.

"I jumped in all the way," he says. "I didn't realize how tough it was." He took school vny I ousiyi making it a sevenday week affair. "The family thought I was crazy," he said. He didn't have much time to be with his family because he spent so much time studying and going to dasses. He fdt 8 lot of pressure. "Learning how to study was the hardest part," he said. Although he had attended conferences and

ni|^t aehool that was connected with his woric over 'the 'years, college was different. He stuck to subjects in his fidd, never taking more than one or two dectivqs the whole time. His age difference waa qqpamt in dasses. "Some teadiera couldn't figure out what I was doing there." he laughed. But he enjqyed the classes and the fdlow atudenta. "I got to like the students." He saya some students sppredated the fact that he waa going back to achool while otbnrs never understood. In December of 1987, Mr. Woakoff received his bachelor of science in business administration at UNO. But he wanted more. He enrolled in the master's program and started at once on his graduate degree. He liked school. "When you get to be good at it, it's more than fun," \ he remarked. His only bad habit in school he says was tdling the teachers when he thought they were wrong. Although he had thou^t ab«Mit this degree for a long time and pursued it very gtMOffiy, "Until I got it I wasn't sure I was going to get it. I never took it for granted." To earn his master's he wm-ked with a team of fdlow students under the NebrjkdattiyiKlOTjpiiMtiep. Program in C^ete, Ndiraska to analyze tha business
