Omaha will help Soviet Jews in Israel with Exodus II and loan guarantees By Mofiia MaUiw The Qmaiw Jewish community haa decided to job a nationwfcieafliort to provide adtHtJnnal financial aiqiport for an anticqiated one mfllion Soviet Jews settling in Israd. IMnetora of the Jewish Feda'atioa of Omaha approved a plan to conduct an Exocjns II fundraiaing campaign and to provide loan guarantees. •Hte plan calls for inqdementatioo of a second fundraiaing campaign aimed at raiaingtl.Siniliioa and the cnmmitinifpt of the Fedaratioa to pertic^te In a loan guarantee program iqi to limited liability of $1 millkm. In approving the plan, the Boeiil eeasMiaOy aooepted the nromnwadationa of its Eaegmve Committee which offered a modified vcrsian of the natioaal program suggested by the Council of Jewish Fedaratkns. Actioo on the plan took (dace after three hours of diseosaiaii at a spedal meetfaig Monday night in the Jewish Community Csnter. "These an enotknal and difficult iasoee to deal with andthefommwittyiriBbeinyactedanalongisrmbasis," Federatiao Preakient Jay R. LctiMr told the board. The tamMct, it was said, may start as eatly as the next fiscal year which begins in July.

In addition the WaU win serve as a mnlnder to others that their gifU to the Foundation wodd be "weioomed, acknowledged and remembered," he said. The exietence of a healthy Foundation is eassBtlal,Mc-Kaslow added. "We'n faced with a contimdag squeeze on what we can raise through the annual Campaign, particularly with the special campaigna such as Operation ElOdns and Operation Moaaa. If we don't have an •oAnrment that con provWesmpieoMntal funds, I don't think we can expect to operate on a pay-as-yougo basis." David Friedlsnd, who served as Foundation chairmaa from 1988 to 1090, agrsad, saying, "the importanoa of the Foundation la Immaasorsbls. Without it, the king-term

wellMng of the Omaha Jewlah community woold not exist. The Foundation helps ua through periods of economic doireturn end also provldee building blocks for our future." Th« Foundatian'a fint diafrman, Mort Trachtenbarg, noted that prior to 1983, endowment funds existed end gifts wan mode to the Federation. However, by making the Foundatkm a structured organization, "we could give people goals and objectives so th«y could soy, 'WeU,ifwehaveaPouadatkn, hen'a what we can do with it.' The educational scholsrships, grants and Kgrams offered have n vastly ei^Mnded directly ae a result of being able to ofCir the people a Foundation where they could ghra their money," he said "The Foundation has grown adndraUy since Its inception and I tUok w* have nothing to do bnt fO forward and keep growing," he added. Citing the "dramaUc pn«rasa" the FouMlatkm

haa made in the past eight yean, current chairman Joseph Kirahenbaum ssid the WaU of Recognition "exemplifiee that growth snd gives the community an opportunity to ass the widespread partidpation of donors, llirough this tribute, we csn keep their names in the forefront."

By Gfl Sedan JERUSALEM (JTA)Tha Romanian office of the Jewiah Agency for Israel, dmt down during 40 years of Commtmist rule, waa reopened in Bucharest. The ceremonies were a^ tended by the country's chief rabbi, Moses Roaen, who affixed a menizah to the doorpost. The office was officially rec^iened by Simcha Dinitz, chairman of the Jewish Agency snd World Zionist Organization Executives, in the preeence of representatives of Romania's Jewish community. About 60,000 inunigranta passed through Bucharest during the past year, most of tham Soviet Jews immigrating to Israel Dinitc expressed the hope that it would alao become "warm house" providing educational services f^'those of Romania's 20,000 Jews planning to emigrate and that Bnchareat would continue to serve as a transit center for Soviet Jews going to lara^

The Israelis seemed pleased that a measure of progrees waa made toward a regional peace confe^ ence that would for the first time bring larael and an of ita Arab neiajibars to the negotiating table. A senkir U.S. official who briefed reporters said the United States and Israel agreed in princ^ to a regional peace confer enoe, but "the details, format, location, timing, participants—none of theee were worked out." But Israeli officials said progress was made on the difficult question of Paleetinian ropreeontation' at the conference and in subsequent bilateral talks with Israel. Israel's ambaasador to the United SUtee, Zahnan Shovel, told army radio Tuesday that WasUngton "agresa at thia time" with Israel'a insistence that no rsaidant of East Jatuaalsm be induded in a Paleetinian dekigatioa. laraal feara allowing such participation would undermine Jerusalem's statua aa the united capital of Israel Israeli (rffidalsaaid they were alao vary pleaasd by U.S. backing of Israel's opposition to the presenoe of "disqxira" Paleatiniana in the delagation, meaning Palestinians not Uving in the administered tarritoriee. They said there wss a "meeting of minds" on the need to exclude the PLO fh>m direct or indinct faivolvement in future peace talks. Levy In particular radiated optlmiam and good cheer after his seseion with Baker. He spoke almoat Jubilantly about the "nearneaa" of "the good newa

alllaraeiis desire, the news of peace." Somewhat more circumspect. Shamir deacribed his talks with Baker aa "good," "between friends" and "profound and fundamental" Baker himself spoke cautiously. "I agree we have had a productive and vary ocoatnictive meeting this morning, and I don't wish to dirninish that in any way by saying that there is a kng, kng way to go," the aecretary of state told reporters. "There are many, many paitiea involved. "HMre are a k>t of quaaticna befere ua that have to be addreesed and that have not been resolvadtSO I hope there is no miih to Judgment," Baker sakl He noted he was due to go to Cairo and Damascus after leaving Jerusalem, "hoping vaty much to develop a plan that will ultimately lead to peace in thlarsglon." The secretary held out the poeaibility of a return visit to Jerusalem from the Arab capitala before going back to Waahingtm. Baker met with the Pal•stiniana at the U.a Consulate in Jerusalem. There were onlv six this time, oomparad with the 10 who came to meet him then on March 12, during hie laat previous visit to JarusaThe delagation had the asms leader, Faiaal Hueaalni, an East Jerusalem Palaetlnian acUviat wall taapactad in aoma Weetani drclaa but deemed a terrorist sgltator by aome in the teaaU govanunaat.

the Kurdish refugee problem this week, among the lateat of which were the United Synagogue of America and Americans for a Safe Israel. The CtMi" ference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations praised its constituent groupe for taking a strcmg stand (m the issue. The rabbis and lay leaders attending the threeday meeting here are involved in the Commission on Sodsl Action (rf the Un-| ion of American Hebrew Congregations and the Central Conference of American Rabbis. They ended their conference by visiting the offices of 14 senators and 66 np-i reeentativee to lobby thdr position on the Kmds as well ss'to urge continued supprat for Israel and an end to the proUferaticm of biological and nuclear weapons. At the apemng session, Rabbi Akzandar Schindler, UAHC president, warned against the sdministration'a continuing policy of selling arms to Ssudi AIMB, Kuwait and other Arab countries. Such a policy "aows the seeds of a future militarim and will make a more devastating ccmflagration

likely in the near future," Schindler aaid. The Reform leaders alao lobbied Congrees on domestic issuee, induding a seven-day waiting period for thoee wishing to buy hand guns; tha Religious Reetoration Act. which would rest<n« inrotection doiied by the Siqireme Court under the free-exer dse dauae of the First Amendment; and for the Civil Rij^ts Act, which would facilitate legal rdief for those discriminated on the basis of race, sex, nationality or religion. Sen. Paul WeUstcme (DMinn.) recdved a rousing welcome from the partidpants when he caUed tof natiixud health insurance so that all Americans would be covered. The freshman senator said that under his proposal, the government would provide the insurance, but that delivery of health care would remain in the private sector. The issues that were chosen for lobbying were selected because ttey are "vitally important fw the hedth of American democracy and Jewish security, and because we can make a diffdence on each of theee issoeo," said Rabbi David Saperstein, director of the Religious Action Center.

he Uving Will-is it for you?

By m KwluMr BttaMst PedkntiM piMie reiatkHU MMdate Who should have a living win and is it important to have? If I havaa living will, wffl mjr wishes ha implameated? What are nty rigfata if I become VOMB to make deriaiona for myself? These questions and many others will be addreeaed at an informational seminar, "Hie Living \(^ An Ezprasaion of Self-DetarminBticMi," on Monday, AptH 16, it the Jewish Community Centec. The 7:30 p.m. seminar will feature a panel of professionals including Jerry M. Slusky and Robert L. Cohed, partnen in Uw law firm of Kotak Rock & CampbaO; Rabbi Paul Draieo <a Beth El Synagogue; Andrew Jametoo, PhD., University of Nebraaka Medkal Center; Nefaradu State Seoator Jdm B. "Brad" Aahfbcd of Omaha, a partacr in the law firm oi Bradford Coeoen ^ Aahfoni; and Steven J. Riekea, a pntaer in the law firm of Ridh arda, Riekes, Brown A ZaUn. Uw living will is a k«al doeumsDt vriiiidi allows individuals to state thefr wisbea regarding the use of life aqpftort in the event that an accident or terminal iOness renders them unable to make decisions. At the preeent time, Nebraaka doee notiiave a living win etatute. However, legiaiatioo that wookl enact the living win (LB 671), co-sponsored by Sen. David Landis of Linooln and Sen. Aahford, is curmtly on the floor of the Legislature. Uving wiUs have been the aobject of nationwUe ~ debate for a mmber of

Aadraw JaiMton years and raiae a variety (tf medical, ethical and per> sonal questions. As a medical ethidat and philosopher, Dr. Jameton deels with these iaaoes on a daily basis. "While I recommoad writing a living win, it's not because sodaUy I think it'a a good idea^I thhik it's to protect yourself in a regrettable situadon," he said. A m^Jor problem concerns the patient who is being attended by a physidati wifli whom the patient Is not fumiB, he said. "If you're bUng cared for by strangers, thsa's ah»m thspnMem of truat. Wiw areyou going to beUevet This is a very complex dedsionmaking proceas that we're trying to fix with documcnta. That Und of tinker ing is not going to solve the problem, fliere's going to be no substitute for some sense of comnmntty to facilitate decisionmaking. No amoont of paper wm give us trust," he said. Dr. Jameton added that another dilemma with the living wni and the medkal coiAmunity Is that, "Physkians don't let peqde die. We don't aee them as dying until we've doneerrarythhugwecauda A living wffl naoaniy statea,'SbouU

Ifae (tying...'Sfam we're never co^ to admit that sonMobe is dyini^wfian ie the appropriate tjme to apply a living win? "If yoQ tidak you can get'eomaone off a reepirator in two weeks, but you'rs not sure, does the living wiU apply when it says 'no artificial support?'" On the other hand. Dr. Jameton noted that for the phyaidan wanting to Umit therapy, "the Uving wiU canbeaUglMJp." The 'ShouM I be dying... ' phrase has been the subject of great debate ajDong lawmakers, aoocKding to sttomey IMMTt Cohm. "The version of the living win currently going through the Nebraaka Legiauture also makes reference to a person in a 'persistent vegetative state,'so at least it covers a person whose death is not imminent, but may be fai, far instance, an imverslble coma," he said. Physkiana win respect the wiahea stated in a Uving wiU under drcnmstanoee where it's dear the docoment iqniUea, Dr. Jameton aaid. "The problem ia defining the situation where it clearly ap"There's so much that is so hitangible: how much discomfort, what Uad of support, what kind of life afterward if you survive ... I would be hardpreeaad to write a document that is thorough enou^ that we wouldn't have to taUc to each other anymore." Mr. Cohen noted that even if LB 671 does not become law, "you stni have the fundamental ri^ to eoqweas your wishes.

My Israeli brothers aind sisters have always amazed me. Since I'm one of those peofde stiU in awe of anybody who could turn brown desert into a hish, green agriadtoral dream, I suppose I'm easily amazed. On the othtr hand. I've viaited that tiny country and know the fealfaig ol sniaUnesa—the notioo of ahnoet being dde to stand in the middle and touch both bordirs at once. That stakes my amanement more valid when I read tlut during 1990 they wekomed over 200,000 Ruasian immigranta. Where ud how did thqr find room for this (Undiarah) additioa to the population? If anybody can, Israel can. I've ahrqrs bdieved thqr jlM diffsrent—so much more accustomed to hardship and "making do," thqr're tougher. By conquiriaao, I think we are soft and spoiled. So we agree, right? They're spedaL They taught modem civilization how to miqi up an aggressor in aix dajrs didn't they? Thsy probid^ invented the best venioo <rf what authorities call a SWAT team, than showed the world what it was for. I guees I've begun to romantidze about thsJr ability to do most everytbing. That's probaUy why I'm not sore why tb«y can't grt aU tiiow Datoral aoemiee to Ustsn to leasoo. Wlur they can't instill aome of agfrold, built-in ondarstantung of ahalom—paaoe. Look how hind they try whan thty ait down with repwiesntativee of our country and others. Did you ever pay attention to that coaferenoe taUe? Have you noUced what'a oo it? Flni 1st me reodnd you that moat tablse such aa this are very similar. They hanre pitcfaera oc earafta of water and a giaaa at eveiy plaee. Alao, althmigh not used ao mucii anymore, aab trays sre there for dl who smoke. That's about it, the water pitchers varying in fandnsss (V simplicity, depending probably on the culture of the hoat country. Now kwk at the peace table when larael sets it. It has the oUigatory pitdun and ^assea, of course. But wait, thne's more. There are boids of fruit, dishes of what Appear to be hard candies and I know I've aeen bottles of sdtier in additifln to ordinary water. This is a Jewiah peace table, not just an wdinary one. I've never been there, of course, but I'm certain at least somebody aaya, at the beginning, "youll have a piece fruit, a f^uaB aeltzer and when we're comfortable, weT talk." Certainly not just the Jewish way, but the more civilized way. So why doean't it work? Why don't they all listen and come to terms like intelligent folks who have the same ultimate goabf Do I know? Wouldn't I help them out if I codd? Wait, I'm getting an idea. Maybe thiry need to add a little s(Hnsthing more to their hoq>itable table. Like a plate of sweets such aa strudel or periuq^ a little oisp mandel bread or mdat honey cake. Especially honqr cake—What sjrmboliami I still don't know wfagr a reasonable aetting like this doesn't produce better lesnlto. But I do wish I couU talk to our Mr. Saker. Pd give him a fsw hints about negotiating JewiaUy; I'd teach him a few ezpresskns, show him how to shrug his ahooUer eo they say aomething. How to eipraaadertaaihoughtB with hie hands. Teach him. not body Eni^ but rather, body Yiddiah. Who knows, maybe that wonkl torn the tide. Let's fafce it. It ooukb't hurt.

Obstacles to emigration NEW YORK, April 3 (JTA)-The wnigrstion of Jews from the Soviet Union haa slowed down in recent months, in part becanse of new obstades imosed by Soviet suthorities, according to American Jewish organisations assisting Soviet Jews.
