HARD LINE POSITIONS On the right, pressure to counter most snggestkns of sacrifidng anything to the Palestinians came from Housing Minister Ariel Sharon of Likud. Science Minister Yuval Ne'eman of the Tehiya party and Minister^ WitbouMVtfolio Rehavam Ze'evi of Moledet. Sharon has urged the immediite unilateral annezation by land! of the sections of the West Bank and Gaza Strip aettled by Jews. Ze'evi suppOTts vohmtary "transfer" (rfArdM out of tfas ter^ ritories. But theas hvd-ttne positions were countered by a somber warning from ht terior Mfadster Arye Deri of Shaa, who aafatpeewmakhig topped the Orthodox party's list of (vkirities. Recalling that the previous government, a selfdescrU)ed "national unity" regime, fell in March 1990

precisely over its peace policy, he warned that no government has the "right to exist" if it does not strive fw peace. Although Shamir has spoken of a unified peace policy, there has been no formal public rehearsal of that pdicy by Shamir himself. Defense Minister Moshe Arena of Likud, who is close to the premier, said that the government is resolutely committed to its May 1989 fourpoint peace plm, which called for elections in tfae'ad-. ministered territoriea leading to negotiations for Palestinian salf-mle.

It is not enougji ma«ly to pray—one must also redte T'hilim (Psalms). Those Tel Avivians who proudly claim that a missile fell near their home now constitute a new sort of elite. A quick siuvey indicates that if aU these claims are cor^ rect, a huge stadium would not be able to accommodate all the new "aristocracy."

A call for hope and courage

Refugees in perspective The oonfigontioD of planet Earth is difficult to imagine ttntfl one can see m actoal photo taken from outer qiaoe. Tben, peroeptian takee over and real understanding talcea {dace. The above editorial introduction is my way of trying to make aense out of the status of refugees in the world. Because media reports tend to focus on Palestinians with the tenacity of magnets on steel, it is easy to overlook the wwldwide sole of refugees. In its Work! Refugee Repent issued in 1990, the United Statea Department of State, Bureau for Rcdfugee Programs, makes it possible for one to comprehmd the overaU situation and place the Palestinian problem in • perqiective. For example, at the end of 1989, there were more than 4.2 million refiigees and aaylum-seekers in need of protectioa and aaaistance frotn Africa alone; more than 664,000 from East Asia; more than 9.4 milUoa from the Near Eaat, Sooth Asia and North Africa and mom than 169,000 from the Western Hemisphere. Tbare are 39 ooontries in Africa with major refugee devekipmeiita, 14 in East Asia, 17 in the Near Eaat, South Asia.-uid North Africa and 24 in the Western Hemi^ihere. According to the State Department report, the size of the refugee population almost douUed in the last 10 years bom eight millian in 1980 to more than 16 milli<« by the end of 1969. In tlie latter part of the decade, the problem of Vietnamese asylum soiakei's arriving throughout Southesst Asia bacadie so critical that a special international agreanMit was adopted in response. In addition, the plight of other longstanding refugee groves inqnowed mUe daring the4MOs. Af^^aniatan sttfEMMtfOtti^ a dstiHds of war, IsCvlttgtkniMM than five million Afghan refugees in PaUstoi and Iran. A protracted and bnital civil war in MoBaralnqua added hundreds of thousands to the refugee populations in. aaitMM'faig eonotriea. Hw re^Mri oooehided that eoafUeta (if one type or another continasd to a^Mrate. die mijoritgr. of the workl's xefngsas and that tSs key to resolviBcthe aiyority of the wotM's refaye s^t^ationa i ests in cdnfBct resohitkin. J tf this tnify be the e*M, then let's enooorage i^artiee tlMqafliif^ U) ^ and smoke the pesos pipe—one on one.

Eater's note: Jeaaie jacobaon, pnbiic telatioBk director, Jewish Federatian of Omaha, ddivned the D'var Torah at the Febmaiy meeting of the Federation's Board of Directors. AUhough oriented toward Pnrim, the editors believe her msassgt to have a timeless quality and thus offer it to oar readers: For me, delivering a D'var Torah is a humbling experience. I'm the farthest thing from a scholar, not well versed on currmt events, and rranember very little about Jewish histwy w Jewish law, and cannot speak the Hebrew language. However, my spirit is strong. I am passionate about the fact I'm Jewish. Our remaricable hist<»y, our courage, our values, our determination and our contributims to civilization overwhelm me, always. So it is with this spirit, some insi^tful advice from my rabbi and a few good books from the Federation Library that I turn your attentiMi to Purim—ironically, one of the happiest of Jewish holidays. Jews rejoice at the courage oJF Esther—a queen who was not concerned with self-preeervati<m, but rather for the fate of all Jews. We cdebrate the wisdom of Mordecai who warned "if you keep silent now and refrain from pleading for your nat^pn, in the end you will not be able to justify yourself because you had the opporttmity to do good in your lifetime, and you did not do it." And we Mlebrate the people for obeerving the fast with Esther, far prayer and rqxntance, all to make them strong. Okay, so much of the oriipnal story. The irony is that Purim is also the stoiy of a marfmmi and his unrelenting obsession to nnnihilnte the Jewiah people. Sound chiOin^ familiar? Look, like it or not, tlw threat of annihilation follows us wherever we go. It's become a sobering fact of Jewish life—so what else is new? Israel—that's new. I mean, as a Jewish state recognized in the world, it's new. Israel's story today is precious and fragile—much like tlte story of Purim. Haman lives in Baghdad and annihilation is again the decree. Israel, like the Jews of Persia, needs protecting and, unfortunately, there is no Esther in the White House and no Mordecai on the Cabinet. So what do we do? How can we ensure everlasting freedom and our right to exist in pea9e7

Rabbi Drazeo was kind enough to point out that no where in the Book of Esther is the name of G-d mentioned—implied perluq>s, but never mentioned. So what might this tdl us? Perhaps that the destiny of the Jewish people was n(A''guided by a miracle from G-d, but by tiie very character and deeds of the Jewish people themselves. Over the weekend, I saw the videotape of the concert that was held in Israel, featuring guest violinist Isaac Stem held center, stage and continued to play for all over Tel Aviv and the warning sirens began to play louder than the symphony orchestra. All the finely dressed people put on their gas maslcs. Musicians quickly cleared the stage—all but one—the celebrated Jewish man from New York. Alone with his violin, Isaac Stem, Iteld center stage and continued to play for all those people whose faces had disappeared beliind the grim reality of the day. He never ^pped a beat. Neither did they. It's dangerous for us to think that everything will be all right if we do little to make sure it is all right. Like the Jews of Persia, our destiny, and now the destiny of our homeland rests with the will of all Jewish peapie here on earth. It will depend on how cohesive we are; how vocal we are; how financially and spiritually supportive we are; how determined we are; how loyal we are; how courageous we are; and how fervent we are. It will depend on how much of this we pass on to our childrenregardless of how old our children might be. It will depend on what they tell their children... We're all in this together, folks. Israel'a survival is our survival. It's not Israel "they"—WE are Israel. No, we don't establish Isradi policy—that's her right as a free and democratic sovereign nation. Thank G-d. But we can be like the Jews of Persia—like one in time of despwate need. Every day—for as long as it takes—for whatever it takes so that Israel does exist. The festival of Purim b not merely the celebration of a glorious and unexpected victory in the past, but also a call for hope and courage in the future. AIKI today especiaUy, the coming of Fiirim is a vivid reminder of the ugliness and the ultimate futility of any attempt to diminate as noble a people as we. Hag Snmeach.

Whthood for Isabella By Marc H. TanmlNnim f

(Omjuigkt imiJnriik Tth^mpklt Agmer, litej

V' iN£W YORK-Tliere is a lot riding on the planned 7 1992 obMrvanoes of the ^Mtnish govenunent and the ' world Aephardi conununity. Spain has announced plans to revoke the March 1492 order of Quean laabelU and King Ferdinand that eqwiled some 200,000 tortured and humiUated Sephardi Jews from Catholic Spain. This dramatic action is apparently intended to demonstrate to the world, and especially to wtuid Jewry, that modem Spain has decisively rejected that medieval world of fanaticism, violence and anti-Semitism. Not to be too cynical, but it seems that such power fol humanistic symbolism would also not hurt ^tain's declining tourist industry, particularly among Jews. Nor woidd it weaken Spain's intensive canipaign to improve commercial and trade relations with the United States, in which American Jews play a vital role. For Sephardic Jewry, the 1992 observance affords a valid opportimity to heighten worldwide consdousness of the glorious contributions made by Spanish Jewry to rdigion, literature and cultura The international Sepharad program would in fact signal the renaissance of Sephardic Jewry in Israel and in many other parts of the world. In the midst of all these generally positive devdopments, an ultra-conservative Catholic priest in ^>ain, originally from Argentina, has organized an effort to persuade the Vatican to beatify as a saint Queen Isabella, the mother of the Spanish Inquisition. He wants the sainthood to take place in 1992. His intention appears to be to embarrass the progressive Spanish socialist government and postVatican Council II Catholics in Spain who support freedom of religion for Jews and Protestants. Given the ac^umledgment that Isabella and Ferdinand were actual criminals, and the central and decisive role in waging the brutalities of the Inquisition against the Jews and the Moors—forcing conversicm of Marranos and Moriscos—it is difficult to believe that wiser minds in the Vatican would yield to these reactionary petitions. But, if by some freak of mindlessness or Byzantine man^Milation, Queen Isabella was to become beatified aiod sainted, the 1992 cdebrationa could explode as if hit by an unguided theological Scud misaOe. Some of us have made our documentation and views on the disaster of Isabella-as-saint known to . the Vatican and to Catholic 'etiSa$Ut aid UaHot* . who are tHends. llMn seems to be much understanding and I eiqiect there will be a serioua effort to head on this international Insult at the Vatican pass before everybody is deeply offended.

Bgftl^cgs' Qs®m, Ssff®©!! By Harry Allen

By Many AUea Despite the war, Scud miMiles, arguments with the United States, the intifada, a sagging economy—exa^ cerbated by the war and the absanoe of tourism—the great taak of Israd continues with only a modest dowdown. The Soviet and Ethio|Han Olim ate arriv^ without interruption. Despite the war and tw missllet there has not been a single day when some OUp did not arrive. SimcahPinitg, the chairman of the Jwfish Agency for Israel, iHiich is responsible tot transporting Olim to Israel related a heart warming incident. On the nig^t the first Scud landed in Israel a plane load of 160 Soviet imroigrants was due—at virtually the same minute. The pilot returned to Bucharest with his passengers. When the plane came to a stop on the tarmac not a sinj^ (deh left the plane. As a matter of fact two dozen additional OUin who had missed the plane, boarded and all got bock to Israel the next morning at 7 a.m. 1990 immigration of 200,239 was the highest in 40 years and the largest in any year of Israel's history except 1949 when the Displai^ Persons camps were being evacuated. It is not only Russians. Ethiopian Jews are also arriving and 1991 will see a greats total than came during the much publicized "Operation Moses." HopefdOy the entire Ethiopian community will be in IsrMi by year end. All of this is-an enormous burden on Israel—the government spent over $6 billion in 1990—a far far greater sun^ than was raised by world Jewry—perhaps by a factor of ten. A few simple statistics illustrate ttie coet. Transprartation of baggage cost $80 mOlkin in 1990.

This is a cost borne by the Jewish Agen^ with UJA contributiciis. Over tlOO million was ^«at by the Agency for transportatiao of people. ^ Absorption is naturally enough a major problem. In order to absorb an expected 1 million Olim in the next five years tsraet will nMd to create over 400 thousand new jobs. The fundanaital requirement is to create new businesses in the export area and in the production industry. It is estimated by the Development Study Center at Rehovot that more than 200 thouaand new jobs are need in these two sectors which in turn will generate employmmt in service industries end local market services. Together these sectors will aggregate the needed 400 thouMnd new employment opportunites.

The govemmoat is making a major effort with grants and loans and various other types of assistance. But for this volume of new jobs to be created the most important new requirement is the infusion of foreign capital Very little in the way of foreign investment has occurred in Israd. Partially this is a result of the Arab boycott, partially the result is a worry about peace in the country, partly it is due to overly heavy government involvement in HbB workings of business anid the economy. Jewa must continue with increased philanthropy to fund aliyah and klitah. But an urgent requirement exists as well for Jewish entrepreneurs to sedi out Israd investments.

Fourth fire rikes shui

Britain, Israel agree

By Jaremy JooM SYDNEY, Austndia (JTA)-A shocked Jewish community demanded mon poUce protection and emotive anti-hate legislation after the fourth &e in six weeks to seriously damage synagogue property in AustnUa's largest cities.

Israel to launch spy satellite ByGllSedaa JERUSALEM (JTA)Critidsm of the performance of Israel's intelligence services during the Persian Quif crisis produced a suiprise announcement by Defense Minister Moebe Arena on Wednesday: He told the Knesset that Israel would soon laun^ its own ipjr. aatelTbi d£KieMre'#flB the ^rst in public by a senior Cabinet member. Israel has launched two experimental communications satellites over the past two yesrs. The second was launched last April, a day after Saddam Hussein threatened to destroy half of Israel with chemical weapons. But neither of the satellites possessed inteUigenoe cuaoilitiea. Oppoeitkm poUtidans have berated the government for its need during the Gulf war to rely on U.S. satellite daU for intelligence about Iraqi Scud missile launchers. Labor Knesset member

Michael Bar-Zohar accused the govsnunent of ignoring Iraq's niUtary buikhip since 1981, when Israeli war planas destroyed its nuclear facility in a pre^nptive raid. He claimed that Israel had no advance intdligeoce of Iraq's invasion S Kuwait last Aug. 2. Arena mahitained that Israel's intdligence was up to date thrmighout tlie Pernaii Gulf = crii^.

NEW YORK (JTA)The president and chief profeuional offieer of the United Jewish Appeal, Stanley Hwowitz, has retigned from his poritim, emctive July 1. Horowitz's "requeat to be relieved of day^to^y executive responsibdities at UJA," which had been nuoored for some time, was conftmed in a monorandum sent to national UJA leaders by Mnton Komreich, chateau of the UJA board of trustees, and Marvin Lender, its national chairman. Horowits, who has worked as a proCsaaiaaal in UJA and UM federation movement for the last three decades, has bem at the helm of UJA for the last seven years. The memo said UJA leaders were "surprised" several months ago when HorowiU "initiated the disnuaions" leading to his raaignation. It said he believee hia recent accompliahnwBta "mark for both him and the UJA a logical tranaitioD p^t." Aoeording to the memo, Horowits "wants to turn hia.attention to writing, teaching, foundations and other activitiea." He wiU become a oonaultant to UJA after July 1.

Baker includes Israel in Middle East trip

[

I , )

By Howud RoMoberg WASHINGTON (JTA) —It may have taken an Iraqi invasion of Kuwait and a subsequent war to fet Secretaor of State anves Baker to visit Israel; but the pro-Israel community is pleased nonetheless. Baker will be visiting israel as part of a Middle East trip that includes return visits to several Arab countries in the U.S.-led allied coaliticm against Iraq, starting with Saudi Arabia. In Israel Baker will meet with Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, President Chaiin Herzog, Foreign Minister David Levy and Defoise Minister Moshe Arens during a "very short visit," in the words of one Israeli official. Israeli officials and proIsraeli activists do not see the trip as the linkage betweeo Iraqi withdrawal from Kuwait and the Palestinian issue unsuccessfully Boa^t by President Saddam Huraein. They said thqr Were not coooenied as kxig as Israd was indndad in the trip. "The qnestioii of UBki^ is irrelevant here," saiid one Israeli Embassy offidaL Hie porpoM of the 10day trip is to conduct "tna consultations" about regional issues fallowing Iraq's withdrawal from Kuwait, saU Stata Or partmant spokeswoman Maisarat Ttttwil«;. Baker wiU complete the trip by March 14 or 16, with the &8t stop in Saudi Arabia. CHbar coontrias he plans to visit are Egypt, Syria, Turkey and the Soviet Union. He also intends to meet with Ku-

waiti offidals somewhere in the Persian Oulf. Tutwiler attributed the exclusion of Jordan from Baker's itinerary to scheduling difficulties. Jradan, u^ike the other Arab countries on the itinerary, was not a member of the U.S.-led allied coalition against Iraq and was considered sympathetic to Iraq. Tutwiler brushed aside reporters' questions asking if Baker's trip would create the linkage between Arab-Israeli issues and Kuwait that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein has called for since he invaded Kuwait last August. IVitwiler argued that unlike Hussein's linkage, the Baker tr^ does not involve "ocmditions" that have to be inet by any country. Durfaig his trip. Baker will conduct "true consulUtioos" and will be "in a listening mode" during discussions on four key tofrfcs: regional security airangemeots, arms control and proliferation, Arab-Israeli peace and regional economic cooperation, she said.

Mideast could be friendlier place for Israel after Iraq Is defeated ByGUSadaa

JERUSALEM (JTA)The Middle Eut miQr offer a friendlier envirmment for lend once Saddam Hnasein's Iraq is defeated, a Bomber of thinkers and anaijrsts here believe. By the same token, Israel inevitably wiU be forced to confront ud resolve its Paleatinian probtam, timy say. " With Hussein gone, Egypt, the only Arab state formally at peace with Israd, will emerge stronger. ^yria, until a year ago regarded as Israel's most implacable foe, will be in the American camp. It refiiaed to be drawn into "a foolish war by Saddam." hi the words of its defense minister, Mustafa Has. Instead of taming CO Israel, Syria haa joined the

U.S.-led coaUtiao against Iraq. The Damascus daily Tishrin chided Iraq for serving Israel's interests by attacking it with SCUD missiles. Israel could some day use its newty acquired Patriot anti-misBile missilee against Arab tMrgets, the newspapersaid. After the war, Saodi Arabia will be at least psychologically closer to Israel, ^ving shared with it the experience of being the target of Iraqi missile attacks. Under such circumstances, Israel will find it increasingly difficult to argue credibly that Arab hostility to it is the "core" of the Middle East conflict, rather than the Paketinian problem.

David Obey (O-Wis.), chairman of the House Appropriations subcommittee on f<n«ign operations, rejected "raoent talk that the West Bank and Gaza can now belong to the Israelis for 50 years."

"Israd obviously has a right to insist in return a similar unequivocd recognition of their ri^ts by the Palestinisns," he said. "Every Arab nation must in the end be wiUing to explidtiy recognize Israd and her legitimate security requirements," Obey said. ""They must be willing to sit down in direct negotiations with Israel, under U.S. Soviet auspices or any other arrangement that works to

conclude the unfinished work of the Camp David process." Reacting to the speech, a top American Jewish or gankaticmd leader add it was unfortunate that Obey was already speddng of Israeli ooncesdons before Aral^Isradi negotiations had even begun. The Gulf war "underscores that a condition for meaningful peace is the recogniti(Hi by the Arab statee of Israd and the determination that they wiU, live in peace with Israd," said Mdcolm Hoenlein, executive director of the Conference of Preddents of Major American Jewish Organizations.

U.S. will not impose settlement while moving to seek peace By David Friednua WASHINGTON (JTA) —While President Bush says he is determined to move quickiy to bring about a resolution of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Secretary of State James Baker has made it clear that the United States is not looking to impose a peace settlement. Instead, Baker said th^t when he visits Israel, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Syria, he wants to hear from the leaders of those countries how they view the next step in the peace process. "We are not going with a specific plan," the secre-

tary said in an appearance Sunday on the NBC-TV program "Meet the Press." "We have said inany times that we can be effective as a catalyst in encouraging peace in the Middle East, but only as effective as the desire of the parties to the conflict to want a sdutitm. They've got to want a soluUon," he said. The United States "cannot impose a peace'' in the Middle East, "not withstanding the excellent relationship we have with Israel, not withstanding the enhanced, perhaps, stature and standing we have with some of our Arab coalition

Awarded Templeton

At a White House news conference, Bush said he believes "the time is right" to seek a ac^utioD to the Arab-Israeli conflict, as a result of the success of the U.S.-led campaign against Iraq. But like Baker, he said t|iat while the United States wants to "play a veiy uaeful" role, it does not plan to make any proposals, including an international peace conference. "Whether it proves to be a peace ^ODference or some bolder, new idea^ time will tell," Bush said. "But we are beginning very serious consultations on this."

Gifts pile up at Ben-Gutionin snafu over customs tax niles By Gil Sedan JERUSALEM (JTA)Tens of thousands of dollars worth of gifts and badly needed supplies, sent here by overseas donors for Israelis made homeless by Scud missile attadu, are piUng up in the custom houses undelivered because the impiHt tax has not been paid. Yedlot Achrwot reported last week that 20 tranaiBtor radios, 16 tons of clothing, 3,000 UaidwU and tqya vahied at $30,000 had b««B froun by customs.

A group of young Jews from France who volunteered to work in Israel arrived recently with thousands of dollars of gifts for the missile victims. They were cleared by customs, but the gifts were not allowed to leave the airport until the duty was paid. llie goods were released eventually, but not before the voionteers' parmts, the mayors of several towns and the heads of issdtutloiu pledged to pay.

Pope hopes visit will aid peace ROME (JTA)-Pope John Paul II said Wednesday that he was in?qiared to go to Jerusalem as 8000 as drcumstances allow, "to deliver a message of peace together with the Jews and the Moslems." The pontiff inade the offer at the conclusion of a meeting at the Vatican with representatives of Christian churches in the Middle East. The closing declaration issued at the meeting called for "justice for the Iraqi, the Kuwaiti, the Palestinian and the Lebanese peoples" tlirough dialogue, without which there can be no justice.

By Henry Stem We meet again March 12. At the Feb. 26 Eariybirda, one day befon the festive M«gillah reading, moderator Gerald Bemstien's opening subject was the Gulf War (and when you read this, much will have happened). Subject awitdied to oar State Legialatuie and the 11,400 chairs and 12,300 desks for the State house, and gun legislation, and how State Senator Ashford's gun centred bill is being fought by the influential NRA. Also discussed was pay for athletes and how the NCAA might put restrictions on UNL if the lads in linccdn get out of hand; keno and lottery, and the track; the stodc "w^^'^t| boom or bust, and inflation, recession or prosperity; how the automobile business is in the doldrums.

Hany Paskowitz gave us a financial report, and Art asked us to consider a nominee for vice president for the election in a few weeks. Doc Margolin introduced guest speaker Dr. Freund, who teaches at UNO, has assisted our people in South America, and lectures at universitiee. Dr. Freund gave us inspiring insight and understanding of Jewish ethics. How do we view wars? Just or unjust? He dwelt on western dvilizaticms and how they view wars in contrsst to Arabs and ancients^ viewpoints. He referred'to the '67 and '73 wars, Nam, the Gulf and went way back to ancient Greeks. Also, if Bush wwePreddent in '38, would Hitler have been stopped? Thank you, Dr. Freund, for one of the most interesting addresses we have had. One of the best

Aliyah increase E Bert Lewis A recent newspaper stoty <m the triale and tribulationa of remodelhig a Idtcheo feminded me of our Own experience duAng just that very thing about 20 years ago. We were living in the house we had buOt some years before, and now that I really tliink about it, I'm darned if I know why we decided our kitchen needed renlaing. It really wasn't in terrible sh^M, although we needed more sttvage space and our needs had changed as the family grew. So, we did the reasonable thing—we found a good contractor/carpento- who was imaginative and skflled (and who wasn't the hi^est priced of the bids) and then we did the nareasonable thing. We gutted that kitchen. We removed the white metal cabinets that were the rage in 1953 and ripped out the sink, dishwasher, stove and fridge. We removed the ugly, inadequate h^t fixtons, ao we couM later install a handaome dropped ceiling.'Concealed was enough light for surgery, and certainly enough for ordinary kitchen operations! I should back up a step here. I said we removed all the cabinets. That meant finding a place for all the stuff that wm in them. My vocabulary in't iq> to the description <rf the diniqg room which held all the ovatibw from those shelves. To can it organind chaos come* cloaa but doesn't really do it justice. Somehow, we noMinaged to functkm throughout the upheaval and little by little, the new Utcheo took shape. The b^mtifiil new wood caUqets were installed, ready for fintohing. The new counter tops were laid, the aUning ti^ ^nk was dropped into place, the new am>liancea were in. And one Various day the carpenter said "tomorrow we q)ray the cabinets with polyuretfaane. Be sure you and the kids are out of the house because the odor is unbearable and dangerous to inhale." Ok, I got it. Everybody left the house. All but our famUy dog. Don't ask me why Ileft her btjhhKLPit^ I Icno^ she'd get high on thoise fumes? Did t even guess from that day w she'd be terrified of flies?

By Charlaa HoffitBB JERUSALEM (JTA)Aliyah from the Soviet Union hicreased as the fighUng ended in the Persian O^. During the final five days of February, about 600 Soviet immigrants per day arrived in Israel, about twice the daily rate during the first five weeks of the war. But war jitters brought the monthly immigration total for February down to 7,164 Soviet Jews, acceding to the Jewish Agency for Israel That is just over half the number of Soviet Jews who arrived in January and not even a fourth of the record 35,000 who arrived in December. Concern about the Iraqi missile attacks on Israd, however, did not deter a large number of Ethiopian Jews frtMn immigrating last mmth. Aliyah from EUuopia totaled 1,100, the highest rate since the end of Operation Moees six years ago. TECHNION REACHES RECORD NEW YORK (JTA)The American Technion Society reported that 1990 was its most succeesfril fund-raising year since it was founded 60 years ago to help si^port the Technion-Israel Institute of TechnUogy in Haifa.

Dance Kaleidoscope to perform modern dance Dynamic modem dance wdrka by Jewidi choreographers will be featured March 16 when Dance Kaleidoscope, a national touring company, performs at the Jewish Community Center Theater. Curtain time is 8 p.m. for the performance, the first ever in Omaha for the eight-member, Indianapolis-based company. Now in its 18th year, Dance Kaleidoscope has built a reputation for dance that appeals both to dance newcomers and veteran enthusiasts, according to Cherri Jaffee, the company's executive artistic director. "Our dancers are very experienced and capable <rf handling a huge diversity of choreography," Ms. Jafieesaid. "We're known for their ability to show a wide emotional range, as well as for their energy and athleticism." Ms. Jaffe said Dance Kaleidoscope is a rarity in the modem dance field because it is a repertory company—(»e that performs a wide variety of pieces, rather than concentrating on the works of a sin^e choreographer. The reperttny approach lets the company stage programs appealing to a broad spectrum of audience tastes, with works ranging from comic to, intensely dramatic she said The Omaha performance will feature five works: "Divertimento," choreographed by Deborah Galvin, is set to eight movements of a Leonard

By Morris BMae What Prime Time did to vaudeville—don't ask. About 170 applauded, hissed, qyelled and booed aa their favorite performers showed their wares on the Jewish Community Center stage Sunday night. The event was the Prime Time dinner theater Purim production billed as Vaudeville Vanities of 1991.

A review Let's forget about the dinno: portion and proceed immediately to the dimming of the house lights and the skits with the cute names: The Butchershop Quartet, the Orogger Sisters, the Hamantasehens, Nathan Hanuohcomedian, The Fabulous Firest<mes, Mordechai Mime and the Rdyal Duo. In most cases, the promisee of laughter, entertainment and good, clean, fun, were fulfilled l^ an energetic cast of your friends and mine. Cute card placer Lois Wine with her stu^y outfit and tux-clad master of ceremonies Stan Widman gave some class to the (qiening of the show. Singers Marv Abramson, Maxine Noodell, Allen Ostravich and Mickey Simon were featured in the quartet and Ms. Nooddl also joined Arlene Richman and Dory Gerber in

an act of World Var II vintage. Ms. Gerber, who was bathing a real-life temperature, also gave her aU in a duo with pro Widman in the finale. In between the beginning and the end were some dandies and duds and among those receiving the most applause were Harry Alloy as a mime and Sylvia Davis and Pauline Iiandman, who did the Shuahan Shuffle otherwise known as a Charleston. Of course, evety whacky show benefits from true artists and Cantor Harold and Madelene Firestone filled this portion of the bill with a superb presentation of show tunes. With Esther Wax (Queen Estho') at the piano for most of the perfwmers, a ring of qusUty ran through most of the numbers. This review would not be complete without mentioning the disturbing presence of an off-color joke. It may be vaudeville, but good taste should be part of the enterprise. Other cast members were Morrie Landman, Nate Mandell, Doris Parker, Milt Parker, Ben Rifkin, Nate Shukert and Dr. Jim Wax. And behind the production were Marv Gerber, Tootle Simon, Doris Shukert, Adele Mandell, Gary Gerber and Shirley Kirshenbaum.,

JEWISH NATIONAL FUND 8700 W. 36 Street Suite 215 West St. Louis Park, Minnesota 55426 JNF LEADERS APPEAL FOR BROAD AMERICAN SUPPORT The Jewish Naliunal Fund of America has announced (he f^l of a |iO million cash mobilization to be raised by the first Passover seder. The funds are urgently needed to develop land for housing sites for Soviet Jewish immigranis in Israel. In a joint statement, Ruth 1 Popkin, JNF president, and Dr. Samuel I. Cohen, JNF executive vice president, said, "The preparation of housing sites for new immignnts is one of the greatest challenges which JNF has ever faced, le responded to a request by the Ministry of Housing and other authorities and undertook this project on a scale and at a bu(^ greatly in excess of our regular activities. JNF views meeting this dullenge as the responsibility of the entire American Jewish communit); which we call upon to support us in fulfilling this vital natkml task." JNF is currently devekiping bnd for 70,000 housing sites at S5 locaiioos around the country Each housing site costs $5,000. The

need for financial support from die American community is stronger than ever, since funds from die Israeli government have dried up due to the war in die Persian Gulf. Over 4,500 Soviet Jews arrived in Israel during the first two wedts of hostilities—and diey Imp comity at a rate of 1,000 every day JNFs responsibilities are growing taster dun die incoming funds needed to perform die urgent work of housing so many new citizens. Israeli Government officials predki dial the wave of Soviiei aliyah will bring about 250,000 new resklents to Jerusalem and dwusands to die Negev and die Galilee. A total of 200,000 ame to Israd in 1990, and in 1991, 400,000 are expected. Out of a total of 3.5 millkm Jew$ who live in dK Soviet UnkM, 1.2 millk» hoU visas for Israd. JNFs role in preparing land is die very first step in the process of absorbing the Soviet Jews. If housing sites are not prepared, diere will be no place fbr our bceduen to live. The diOKe is up to you!
