By ShoshasM Leviae NEW YORK (JTA>Jewiah leaden have expressed outrage over statenMDts made by Bishop Chariea Vache of the Episcopal Diocese of Southern Virginis, comparing the treatment of Palw^ians under the Israeli government to that of the Jews under Nazi Germany.

Israel's treatment of Palestinians, Vache wrote in his monthly letter in the diocesan newspaper, The Jamestown Cross, "approaches genocide of the type which the Jews experioiced in the late '30s and early'40s in Oermaqy.

Maqy of the same tactics are now being used against the PalestinianB.*' The bishop, who recently letui lied from a ti^ to Israel, claimed that Israel's activitiee "erode the nunal fiber of the Israeli nation and peofde," and that U.S. sunMrt of Israel compromisee our "moral integrity." ""Iliere are so many similaritiee with what Hitler did to the Jews," he said. "And it's getting increasingly worse."

"The churchee were sinfully ailent then and millions suffered," he wrote.

"We must speak out now."

The bishop's comparison of Israel to Nazi Ger many brought a quick JewiaKretqionae.

Hia attentiit to "eimate the Holocaust—the worst caae of mass murder in the history of the world-with Israel's treatment of Palestinians is sinqdy beyond comprehension," dedared Ira Oisoan, dirMrtor of the regioaal office of the AntiDeEamatkn League of B'nai B'rith, in a lettar aeot to the blilKip.

In the 1930e. he said, "the churches were activity taachfaig contempt, whidt created the dimate in which the Holocauat was possible.

"Perhaps the bishop is trying to relieve his own profound sense of guilt by msldng this ludicrous compariaon," he aaid.

Iraqi seeks ai ByJoGvrali

By Jo CuicoU One of the thinga that mlDy suiprised me when I moved to Omaha wu the number of Jewish people who ;. had visited Israel And what really amaaed ma waa the niimher of teenagers who had made the trip more than ^ once.

Andrew Attman, a jonior this year at Westdde High School, made Us seMnd trip to Isra^dalrttqr Passover. ' He traveled with a youth gnnqi prograKait Operation 'Nacshan. (Nacshon means the dreuner.)

Andrew was one of 16 teenagers chosen from United Synagogue Youth groups throughout the United Statee to miin this poet^julf War trip to Israel Hie teens were in Israd for a mek.

When I asked Andrew why he thouj^t teenagers should make thti^octra effort to travel to Israel he replied, "The eoqierienoe is just so different. If they go, they have the abuity to eee a real Jewish country. Evcrythtog in Israel is closed Friday evening and all diy Satwday. I was there over Passover and moat things were doeed. It's like the United States on Christmas day.

"I felt a lot of pride. When I was there last summer there were no holidsys snd I didn't get quite the same feding."

Besides the religious aspects, I wondered what teensgers Hked about Israel Andrew's answer wss one I might get from sny teen in Omaha, only a little different versifm. "I liked Ben Yren, a street in the cente;: of Jerusalem. The teenagers just go and kind of hang out there. We walk up and down the street" I asked Andrew if this were similar to cruising. He said yes. "Most of the Israeli teens speak Ene^h, and sons from oar grom spoke fhient Hd»rew, 80 language wasn't rsaOy a prookm."

Akng the w^y Operaticn Nacshtm had several guides, including the Minister of Tourism. The teens in Andrew's group kept track of facts that were told to them. They decided the most repeated statistic was about the Russian inmiigrants. In trying to hd^ the teens picture how many Russians had immigrated to Israd. ofOdab told thexn, "It would be.]ike the entire population of France moving into the United States all at one time."

On Saturday evening Andrew got a chance to met Jewish teens l^om Ethiopia. Ha said most of them spoke exceOent EqfljUsh. "T1i«y are being taught Hebrew and En^Ut at tiie same tims when th«y arrive in Israel" Andrew exidained.

Andrew wants to talk to psople about what he learned in Israri. He winta to talk about immigratkB problems, the dedine oLtoorism ainoe the Gulf War and idiy he thinlayou shouU be making plans to visit laresL I often feellandlocked here to Omaha, hot after talking to Uds like Andrew I know I'm not Maybe 100 years ago it would have hem difiercnt I reaOy would have had to onfy dream about far away placee. But now you're onfy as ter away as Epidqr from where ever you want to go.

Interior Mhiiater DietoHecfceimann of BorUn, one of Germany's 16 federal states, said that while their legal atatua ia stiU undschMLthsJewswooki not ha fofvibly itiaeted.

Paraahat Naso EaeUel and O'havdU) Baker Perhaps yon will permit me to give up comment on the intriguing numl>ers with which our Sidrah begins, or comment on the problem of the relationship between the Levites and the Kohanim (priests), suggested by the last chapters of the previous Sidrah and tlie opening of our preeent Sidrah.

I am distracted to another subject—Ezekiel and (I'havdil) Baker—by a conversation I had with a coOeegue en the first chapter of the Bock of Ezddel, which was the Haftarah for the first day of Shavuot.

The chapter is emotionally impressive. The prophet feels that the Word of the Lord came to him, that the Hand of the Lord was upon him. He has a atartling vision, of strange four-headed oreaturee, man-like, but with wings and wheels.

In this overwhelming vision, he sees s throne, end the Lord Himsdf sitting upon it. He is in the very presence of God. He falls prostrate, his face to the ground. It is a mysteriwn Ireuiendum.

But EzeUal, Man before God, cannot 84/ that he sees s throne and the Lord upon it How can Man say such a tUng? Therefora be uaea dreumlocutions. He does not say he seee the Lord: he sees the Preeence of theLord.

But that is alao too much. He doean't aee the Preeence of the Lord: he aees only the semblance of the Preeence of the Lord.

The drcumlocutiona are atriUng. Without aaying ao, the prophet has told us how fsr Man is from God, how small Man ia hi Qod'a Preeence, by worda that

distance Man farther and farther from the Deity...

What has Baker (I'havdil) got to do with this?

Only this: Secretary of State Jamee Baker has been eagerly aeeldng some Icind of concession from the Arab states of the Gulf and from Israel. He has been successful, partly, with Israel. He doesn't acknowledge this, for fear of offejiding the Arab states. .

From die Arab states he got, literally, nothmg. Yet he proudly announces tliat some progress has been made.

Progress? The end of the state of war? No, not that.

The end. or even the relaxation, of the boycott?

Well, no, not that. Willingness to spesk to Israel about peace? Well, no, not that.

What did he get? Only the qipearance of tlie semblance of the presence of the Arab states at a peace conference. So he cuts throu^ all the verbiage and announces progressl And he blames Israel (the cheapest thing to dot) for any delays and <rf>atructioos!

Meanwhile, where companies are jostUng each other and dbowing each other for a part of & fatcat contracta to rdtuikl Kuwait, Kuwait makee it dear who need not ^^y; no Israeli firms (Allah forfandl), no firms that do buahuas with Israel, no firma with Jews on their boarda, etc, etc And Saudi Arabia (which has participated in every Arab war againat larael), reminds Baker that they are not a confrontation state and needn't attend any ooofsrence.

But Baker announoea progreaa with the Arabs...

Bert;Lewis If I had t really gaoerous heat, I'd have to faal Mrrjr for an 6f jro»tmolnra out there. Oiveo the attitude of many tiday, you aren't really treated very cordially when yoa start to Ught <q>, areyou7 In fact, more and more pubUcpiacee are detting tlMinaelvea to be "emolEe free"—this means nobody is allowed to Uj^t up and ffinolH' So what do you do? Wdl, you find someidace where you can emoke, irf course. Tliis usually means you have to go outside the building, no matter what the weather is doing.

Since all this "smoke-free area" business came about, I've frequently amKroached the entrance of the JCC and found office personnel standing outdons, sometimee with a cofiee aq> in one hand and a cigarette in the other.

They're taking a break, along with the smart-alek renuu'ks of everyone else.

Nobody bothers to slip on a wrap and sometimes the wind is really chilly, causing the smoker to shiver and maybe not entirely enjoy the open area. And I suppose, before too long, these same people will be leaving the air conditioned comfort of their offices to eqjoy a few minutes of sweltering heat and unbearable hun^ty— for a smoke.

Now don't accuse me of picking on the smokers who work in die "J." I was driving up Dodge not long ago on one of our last really nasty days and no^ed a little gathering outside a large office buflding. I stared because it was such a lousy day for folks to be standing outdoors, I wondered what they were doing.

At first I thought the building mij^t have had a fire drill Then I real&ed they were Just taldng a break and obviously their buikling code didn't allow nmolrfaig inside. More and more we see this sort of thing.

Even in the privacy of a person's house, we are asked if it's okay to smoke. I ahnyrs give permission because I feel rude saying, "I mind." But tf anybody is a passenger in my car, be warned here and now: in my car there is ao emoUag. In such confined quarters I don't feel reqnfred to be paUte. Beaidee, it makes the car stink.

Well, this isn't about smoking. I'fai not on a soaplxa—this is about people who are smokers being inconvenienced. And I can't think of any easy sotetion for those people who have to schlep outdde. But wait a minute—you dkb't adc me, did youT Okay, I get it now.

Ill just mind my own business.

Are we stm friends?
