Gas mask report out despite IDF By Hngh Orgel TEL AVIV (JTA)-An abridged version of State Comptroller Miriam BenPorat's shsrply critical report on the gas maaka distributed to the civilian population was published to the defense establishment's angry dissent.

The distribution of gaa masks and other gas-proof devices to the public was comfdeted before the Per-

The Iraqis fired 39 Scud missiles at Israel during the seven-week war, none with chemical warheads.

The Jewish Agency and loan guarantees By Rabbi Menddl KatBMii
A hen and a lamb ware strolliiig down Weat Center Road ai>proadiing a new groceiy store. They noticed a sign in the window which read: "Today's J^Mdal—Lamb diope and eggs". The hen proudly exclaimed to the lamb, "Look how essential our partnership is to the success of today's society." The lunb scornfully replied, "What are you brag(^ about? Yours is a mere contribution, with me it's a t^ai commitment." When it comes to issues of nugm-importance, we cannot aSard to be satisfied with just a token omtiibution. We must become totally committed. I am referring to the need for us at this t^ in history to become aware, q>preciative, and even dependent upon the miracles wUch are unfolding before our very eyes. We redte in the Haggadah: Each individuid in every generation is obligated to regard him/her self as if he OT she personally left Egypt. The Pesach Seder is not mwely a favorite tradition nor a commemoration of ancient events. It offers us an active, eqMrienee which should bring us to a present awareness of redemption. We can compare our individual appreciation of mirades with that of bur ancestors because we too have been privileged to witness many mirafflM md wonders. In fact there are numerous parallela to be drawn between the miraculous events of old and the happenings of our day and age. We are cumoitiy viewing and participating in an unpceoecfantad, niifacukns mass exodus of our people fixxn the Soviet Unioo. For men than TO years the iron gates were lockttl, and now suddenly Exo(fais 2 jb in M swing. Recently we have witnessed a reaDactmimt of tba Purim miradee. A ifnat in the Persian Qulf who sou^t to dwrimate our people inlaraei was defeated on the very same day as iHaman, his predeceaagr. There is another dimension to these miracles. Our sages relate that when the Jews asked the Egyptians for gifts in partly payment for their labor, th« Egyptians uncovered all the gM and aflvcr which they UMI hidden. Iliey actually forced the Jews to take their treasured property. Smflarly today after the enemy of the Jews (Saddam Hnssein) was routed, he was required to surrender his treanres as war reparation. Much of this mon«y will be used for the resettlement of our peo|de in Israel where they will be ensursd a safe and flouri^ing future. TUa miracukiua sequence of events cannot be allowed to pass unnoticed. We must realice that it is not only in the distant past that Gkl has worked miracles for the Jewish pec^le. Andsnt events like the exodus from Egypt or the Purim miradee of Shushsn are not the only exsmples of our unique rctetlimsh^i with 0-d. ' And this is wbare the lamb diopa come into the picture. We must dedicate ourselves totally to reeogniu aul acknowiedgB the miradee of tod«y. In this way we win create withk ourselves the de^ to be part of the tremendous miradee of the final redemption—the coming of Mashiach. Then we will surely merit thoee miradee which will surpass an^ that mankind has ever «q>erienced. And we will eiijoy the fruits of 3300 years af total commitment.

p Jerfy Rosen and the Fpundatipn: A perfect match for seven years By Jm KuhBV Bdmoat Fedanitiaa pdUk In 1984, after 31 yews in the life inourance buainees, Jerold Roaen was ready for a change. That same year, the newly eatabUshed Foundation of the Jewish Federati<Hi of Omaha was looking for an endowment directen*. Mr. Rosen was approached by Mort Trachtenbarg, then chairman of the Foundation, about assuming the position, and shortly thereafter, a partnership was formed—a partnership that is still going strong seven years later. "Jerry was the perfect match for the Foundation," Mr. Trachtenbarg said. "He helped to organize it, took care of details and followed through with everything that needed to be done. He's a terrific administrator and is very valuable to the Foundatkn and the Federfflr. Rosen, 66, said he accepted the poeition because, "J realized that through the Foundation there was an opportunity to do sometlmig for the entire community. "We're in the busiDess of providing servioea and progama that woukin't be poaiiibla without Fouadatka dollart," ha tifd, dting educational scholarahips, camp echolarahip grants and fimds that benefit cultural arta programming, Russian refugees and saoior dtiuoa, among many othara.

The community'a support of the Foundatkn has been gratifying, said Mr. Rosen, an Omaha native.

AMIT Women 65th anniversary celebrated with dinner
By Jo Carroll The two Omaha Chapters of AMIT Women (originally fifUxrachi Women) ceMvated the 66th anniveraary of the organization Sunday night with a special dhulier hdd at Temple Israel The national organization was started in 1926. AMIT supports technical schools and high schools in Israel and provides a home setting for abused or neglected children. AMIT is a major women's rdigious Zionist organization in the United States. The first chapter in Omaha was started in 1935; charter member Ida Potash was at Sunday's dinner to help celebrate. AM IT'S second chapter in Omaha, Hatikvah, formed in 1979, is unique in that it is an evening chapter and accepts men in its membership. Currently Samuel Kafdan and his wile, Charlotte, are copresidents of HatOnrah. Sylvia Ross is the president of Omaha's Kalah Franklin Chapter. Mrs. Ross' burthday coincided with the celebration Sunday ni^t and the members sang happy birthday to her. A musical tribute entitled "66 years and we've just begun," inchided a medley of familiar tunes whose lyrics had been changed to fit the occaaion by Elaine Feldman and BetteKoalen. Singing such songs as, "Thank Heaven for AMIT" wereDonakl Otfber, Jolee Katiman, Bette Koslen, Marvin Parilman and Susie Sh^can. Charlotte Schndaraon. a member of the national stafi located in New Yoric, told the group, "I come to strsngthan the connection between the national oomndttaa and kwal diaptara." She saki that dmrbig the OuU War th* ddkban hi LUXEMBOURG (JTA) AMITachooia wen safe —The Bill opaaii Conunn- and sound. "Schools were nity has thrown ita sup- ckioad lor two weeks.

For people who want to support the Federation but are unable to make a substantial contribution, inexpensive life insurance policies naming the Federatfon as benefidaiy and owner, can be purchased." Currently, over 90 individuals have establiahed permanent endowment funds with the Foundation. The names of those donora or names designated by the donors, will be placed on the Foundation's newly completed "Wall of Recognitian" and honored at its dedication ceremony on Monday, April 22 at 7:30 p.m. at the Jewish Community Center, Mr. Rosen said. "The Wall is a permanent way to say 'thank you.'It'sgoingtogivethe community an opportunity to see those who stood up and were counted," he said. "To be able to walk throu^ the lobby snd see the Foundation flame is vary meaningful to me," he added. "For years we were invisible. We started small, but now we've arrived. We're here, we're permanent, we're part of the community.To look iq> and see thoae namea will be a constant reminder to me of those people who made a comndtment to the continuity of our Jewiah community." The tribute aignifies how far the Fdundation baa ptogieaaed sinoe its inception, he said. "I'm proud of our arromplishmenta.

ByJoCarroD By'Jo CarnU firing is here. The pretty, delicate flowera and trees bloaaom in colors from bright yellow to deep pmple. I^ like to k)ok at the ookra of ftpring both outdoor and^ indoora. No, I don'tmean potted plantel I'm talking about the hidoor oolorB of apring—thoae seen in the shopping malla, the little ckiuing store around the comer and on the pagee of the slidi magaafaMB that ameD so much like perftune you might not have to buy any for the next month. Some people think apring has COBOB when th^y can plant in the garden, othera work in the yanl and aome turn to spring houaedeaning. Me? I like to ahop. I figure those new cok>r8 in the stores of Omaha can on^ mean one thing, ^ning is here and I need to buy new dotheo. Off with the snow boots and on with the summer aandala. Those turtle neck sweaters are deatined for the darkest comer of the ckMSt, with matcUng atimqi panta not far behind. And then there's ahrays that purple winter bbuae I boi^ on eale two years ago that I'venever wom. but couldn't quite give away. I think this year it needa to go to the thrift shi^. Now with all tUa room in my dooet I can go shopping with the peace of mind that whatever I buy i^ fit in my doset. When I arrive at the storee and aee all the krvdy dothea I auddenly remember I only have ao. mudi monay. I have to dedde what I want to buy. What is most important? I can't have ewything. I wondered what wodd be moat important to aome of yon teena out there. Most adnlta tfafaik teenagsa have fahly wild taate fai dothee.and if left to their own devices woidd look like a cross between Madonna and VanOla Ice. So I asked a few teena what thay wouU buy. Specifically I aaked. "If one of your parents gave you a credit card to hny aome dothing, what would yon buy?" I waa quite suriHised with the answers. Lindsay Taxman had her anawer immediately. "Shoeel Shoeel" What kind of shoee I asked her, drees or tenniea or flata. "Juat ahoea." waa her reply. Next I aaked Michael Sigmond iriiat kind of clothing he would porehaae with the plaatic card. He thou^t a long time and finally answered, "Jeans. Guess Jeans. I guees." Later he told me if he didn't have to buy dothee, he wOuU have purchaaed a T.V. 'Srith a giant The next day I cau^ Lisa Boumatehi and Jamie Endalman in the hallway and aaked what they would purchaae with a credit card. Both of them IUMI to think a wfafle about their anawera. Jamie findhr aaU "Jeana." no apedal Und, juat jeans. Lisa wanted a spsdal kind <rf hat that fit doae to one's head and the rim turned 19 hi front She asaured me that the hate were reSlly cooL I don't know what I expected the teena to say. I guesB I thought for one thing that thqr wouU all have aomething to mind that tbqr raaUy wuted right now. And that the item would be more coofncated than ahoas or jaaaa. It made me fes^good that their anawars were ao aimpie and that thay had to think about thaoL Maybe thsy are paying attentisa to othtr tUnga. Maybe the good tUnga come firat liks books, or family or frianda.

Scholar explains origin of Reform prayer book By JVCBNU LnRwm Hoffman, iriw WM iatnHJhMMi to the coagrftfOP at Ttaple laraal ^ flVe of hia fonnar atudant*. aaid that the pnyer book ia the diaiy of Jtwiah peo^ in food and badtimao. Cantor Karen Webber waa a pupil of Dr. Hoffman'a at Heinew Union CoDageJainah Inatitute of R«U|^ He'ia alao a regular oohunniat bit the Jewiah Week, the largeat Jewiah nempaper in the United Statee. Or. Hoffman recalled the hiatory of the movement of Jewa to the United Statea. "German Jews came in the 18408 becauae they couldn't get jobe over there." Two Jewa, Dr. Hoffinan said, idtodadded that a new prayer book needed to be written in AuMrieawera laaae Mayer Wiae and David Einhom. RabU Wiaa. while writing hia prayer book, would found the Hdhrew Uni<m College in Cincinnati and
: Dr. Lawrenee Hoffanan the Committee of American Rabbia. He didn't use the word reform, but later all the inatitutiona he founded would come to be identified with the Belorm movement. David Einhom apcnt hia time in Baltimore, Maryland, writing hia prayarbook. WM waa ronahfared a moderate and Einhom waa conaidered a radical In 1890, the Reform rabbia voted on which prayer book would be uaed. Einhom waa dead, but had two aona-in-law who were able to awing votea. One waa the chief rabbi in Chicago and the other waa the chief rabbi in New York. Due, hi part, to their effbrta. Rabbi Einhom'a prayer book waa accepted. Eh-. Hoffinan toU hia audience there were three important tidnga to oooakler when looking at prayer booka. Firat, if you read the cdlitent kmg enough youll believe what it aaya. Second, the deaign of the layout of the book tella
you a k>t Doee it open right to left? What ia in large print? Third ia the choreography. Whan do you atuid upT When do jrott ait downT Who ainga •nd who gate to touch the TWahf The Unkm Prayer Book, put together by David Einhom and adopted by the Befarm rabbia in 1890, ia a email book, whiclr means the people didn't want to spend a lot of time praying, Dr. Hotfman aaid. Gothic lettera were uaed so it looked Britiah or American. A place waa provided for the choir. And in reaponaive readfaig the reader would read the long paaaagea ao there would be no place for davening. The immigrants felt thefa-new prayer book aent a meeaaga ofhope. Tbmy were mtwlag on-to better timeo, their arma linked' with their non-Jewiah nei^ibora. During the decade of the 'SOa Reform Jewa began to take another look at their prayer book. Many thinga had changed. The State of Israd had emerged and America had become a nation of auburbanitea. Dr. Hottman aaid that during this time many Templee were fiUed with children aa parenta would join a Tenqile to give their child a Jewiah education. Later, theae children, who were invdved in the . riota of the '60a, began to be active in thefa* reUgion. They decided the current prayer book didn't aerve their purpoeee and began to wifte their own acrvkea.
Aa a reault of the many changee, the New Unkn Prayer Book, "Oitaa of Prayer," now takea ita place behind the pewa. And Dr. Hotbian pdntad out, it ia qnicUy beeomkig out of date, aa more changea auch aa the wmnen'a movement have affected reiigion. Dr. Hoffman, profeeaor of Uturgy at HUCJIR, New Ywk City, is the author of aix books, indoding '"nie Art of PoUk Prayer Not for Clergy Only." He waa the acbolar in-reakiaoce at Taufie Israel laat weekend where he gave aeveral lecturea. He alao haU a aeminar with the Chriatian clergy.
