WHEN THE HOUSING MINISTER SAYS IT.,
MINISTER OF CONSTRUCTION AND HOUSING
JERUSALEM. 3 March 1991 Dear Friends and Supporters of the JNF In Jewish communities throughout the United States. Recently, when \ had the opportunity to meet the leaders of the JNF from around the worid, in Sderot. I told them: "Vou never have to call on the Jewish National Fund, they are always there." Now, while the war was on going In the Gulf, we were witnessing the miracle of the continued ANya. Let us hot forget for an Instant the pressing need ^or providing housing to the newcomers. In this regard I must stress again the vital role of the JNF in the development of the sites by preparing the infrastructure for the constoiction of tens of thousands of housing units all over Israel. All that cannot be done vwthout your help and your participation in this historic undertaking. I am sure that you understand this crucial need, and hope you will extend your help and full support to these endeavors.
Yours sincerely, Ariel Sharon Minister of Construction and Housing
...JNF MUST BE DOING IT! AND WE'RE DOING IT ALL OVER ISRAEL. RIGHT NOW, JNF IS PREPARING 70,000 HOUSING SITES AT 55 LOCATIONS. MR. SHARON DEPENDS ON JNF TO DEVELOP LAND FOR HOUSING SOVIET JEWS —AND WE DEPEND ON YOUR SUPPORT. PLEASE CONTRIBUTE TO JNFS OPERATION PROMISED LAND CAMPAIGN TODAY!

Dilemma of the Christian Arabs The money crunch and The time capsule OB telavisioii laat WMkand, I wu aiitivatod by a M9maat on • plan for a apace arc—a aaiMike vahkle rtaajgnwd for travel to tha mooo and the vast tar-fbxog reacEea of the miivcrse. The qMce arc is mqipoaed to cany greatiiig% and a sort of hiatoiy of planet Earth so that a deaciiption of mankind in the year 2,000 or 80 would be in orUt somewhere. And perhaps, some future generation of the human spedaa would be hitcreatad and curious enough to board the vehicle and learn all about you and me. Hie idea is truly noble and UM project is oeetainly ambitioas, but is this really something to put tnillinn* of dollars into? If you're interested in space capsules, let me direct your attention to a more down-to-Earth effort In bet, the c^Mule is not only tif^t here in Omaha, it's at the Jewish Community Center. Just walk into the lobby and hang a short left. The capsule is right there for the Jewish amununity of the future to open and think about. Althou^ the eontanta of tha capanle are fairiy representative and hiduaive of the entire Jewish community, there is no way to add on thejsvents of the past few years. Consequently, future generations of local Jews (hopefoDy) may not be readily aware of 1991 problems uid how theee problems were faced. One of the mijflr problema Cadng tiie Omaha Jewish odmrnonity and many other Jewiah organiutions throughout the United Stataa is the mooey crunch. Than are ao many neada and not enough mon^y to aatisfy those needs. That's where the crunch comes In. j, Whan our space capsule was sealed, the staggering OHWituuitytoreeettleaneatimateHonemillicnormore Jews from ths Soviet Union was as far. from reality as the distant orbit contamplatert for the tpan arc But. miracolooaly, the reasttlement is underway. Jews are atteaiulug into iMel and the eoonnons costs of resstttoment sre being tabolated. To eope with the staggering ooata. AtaMriean Jews are trjdnf to fbd wqrs to fund this enormous effort When our capaola is MMoed. let's hope that the Omaha Jewish commmiity of the fut^ wiU be standing proud snd tan with tha knoadedgs that thoee iriio came befote (us) did their best

However, according, to Keith-AOerton, manager, an upcoming court date <m the future of the building may result in 'Murder' being the last show for the Upstairs at this locatioa "Our current plans are to remain here and pro(luce our shows until October 1993," Mr. Allerton said, fiqJaining, however, that it wiD be up to the court to decide the merits of the current lease conjtiovany.
Meanwhile, the show goes on, and the finale performance—if, indeed, it is the last hurrah at the preeent location, is one not to be missed. All three performers, Michal Simpson, Lorie Obradovich, and Stanley Parker, prove that good theater lives on even when the wrecking ball wants into the act. (M.M.) AOL AWARD WEST ORANGE, N.J.

IbQffft^© ®J® wfi©^ By Bat Lewis Remember the old expression "if I had it to do all over again"? 1 su^KMe we've all said that at one time or anothw. Not kmg ago, something made me tliink <rf that, and I began to wonder. What exactly would I do if I could "do it all over again"? I guess I'd not waste wonderful opportunitiee if I had a second chance. For one thing, I'd take advantage of the piano lessona tbat briefly ome my way as a child. I really wish I could {day the piano. It's all my brother's fault of course. Being the oldeet, he had first chanoo at lessons. And, being a boy who. would rather do other stoK, he soon denMostrated that Us musk lessens were "oysgevarfen geit." What did that have to do with me? I didn't have a lot of cred&ility beonise tfa«y weren't gdng to make the same mistakes twice, that's what. The first sign of interest was given attentiMt, but after that it was "you d<Hi't practice, you don't take leesons." I guess I didn't want to practice. End of kssons. I also wish I'd tried harder when it came to sports. I think today's Idds are encouraged more tiian in my day; I remember that I didn't ahow much skill (and probaiAy leea interest) and the bottom line was simply acomplete inability to play any game welL I really wish I could play tennis or golf or soknething. But what do you expect from somebody who always heard "don't ckwe your eyes when you're trying to catch a ball!" '.i Swimmingiaanotbirthhig I wish I'd taken more seri* oudy; 1 had ptaity of hwpooa but an uiddent during one of them tranlnatised ma to a point where the odor of chlorine made me sick. At least that's been my excuse ainoe I learned the word "traumatise." Today I swim like a rock-right to the bottom, like a shot. Along the same thinking as the "if I had it to do over again" k one I like as weO. Tliat's the phraae "if there's ' really raJncamation, aaxt time I'd Uke to coma back ' etc., etc. I can really pst into that one becauao I wiBwpnr chavMa I'd*Biaita, Ni^ timaTbc «swDpb.
