Over the next several weeks, reports and photographs from the Mission win be higjiUgfated in our issues.

The frustration of being viewed as less than a fuO partid^wit in Jewish life, of one whole peraoo being treated as somehow less

than half of a couple, was voiced in dosens of storiee told during the sympodum, held recently at UJAFederation headquarters here.

Jason received a bronze medal in the 800 meter track run, the only medal awarded to an Omaha athlete. "JasoD also had hi^ finishes in the cross country run, the 1600 meter and 3200 meter runs." Jason is currently a fivshman at Burke High School and the Itldns are members of Beth El Synagogue. He is the 14-vwa>old s(m of Marsha and Phfl Itkin. Both parents are very active as volunteers for the upcoming games, Mr. Friedman said. Marsha Itkin is chairman of the Maocain Housing Committee which has the task of securing enough homes to ensure housing for all the visiting athletes. Phfl Itkin serves as cochairman of the basketball coQipetitipn pommittee. al<mg with Steve Nogg. "Sarah Kohll was selectad due to her early and continuous relationship

Sarah represented Omaha in Chkago as one of sevn athletes and the only swimmer. In Detroit in 1990, Sap ah conveted once again in the swim competition along with Dd> Goldstein and Michdie Patton. For her third and final Maccabi experience in Omaha, Sarah will swim with ^>pnudmately 12 other Jewish teens representing the "home team."

In a friend^-thfrcourt brief filed in the caae of Pulido vs. CavazoB, the American Jewish CoDgress had argusd to the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that placing the vans on school property violated tti First A mendicant's estabHshmmt clause, which bars government endorsement of rdigion. The majority of American Jewirii organziations have traditionaUy oppoeed any government support of rdigious institutions, citing the constitutionally mandated wall separating church and state.

Thto oohmm today to aapedally for a particular groiq> of people—paopto ndio fovor, among ethnic goodtoa, keagaL Pwple who Uke to qiread plttor on tbcJr bread and who, when they qpeak <rf their aynagogue, refer to the aheel. Ok. You know who you are—you are the ones who speak Yiddtoh with a rooahaaka dialect I can relate to that dialect because before my Yiddiah got contaminated by yaars and yoars of conaorting with Utvaka, that waa the way I spoke, toa But, wait a minute. I have aomatUng wonderful to tell yoo. You're going to love thia. In the past year, aince I've apent.time among our newly arrived Ruaaian brothers and stoters, I've im>bably uaed m(M« Yiddiah than I've spoken in years. You see, when thoy (the Russians) first arrive, we quickly leam who among them speaks any Engjish. Oenerally, it's the younger fdks rather than the seniw dtiaens. And wlien I look into the faces of those seniors and see that they don't know wliat to being said, nqr first instinct to to ask if they speak any Yiddtoh. That's when faces light \q>, eyes bri^ten and smilea emerge as I hear "Ick red Yiddish." So we eetablish a smaU line of communication, and the stranger who thought he or she oould speak to nobody except family to han>y to leam otherwiae. I, in turn, have learned how mudi YkkUah I don't know. I mean that aa I tiy to converae or at least make a ain^le atatement, I suddenly am aware I don't know how to say a particular word. We apeak ao much "Yingiish" without realising it... yoo know what I mean, don't ]nw? When we want to use the word "window" in Yiddtoh, instead of saying "fenster" we might say "vindefa." My Russians don't understand such speech. So, when I try to make my Yiddish pun, I'm really stretching my ability. But that ian't what I atarted to t^ you. What I want you to know to aimidy this: thoy all speak Yiddtoh just like you snd II They say "pitter" and "keegal" and when it's good thqr s^y "goat." I love iti And as a matter of foet, not kog ago I was visiting with one of my fovoritee, trying to make her understand my Yiddish when (ne of my co-workers began to lan^ at the dialect we were using. My Russian friend aaked why she was toughing and when toM, ahe boked at our critic Uke ahe waa awxy. Furthermore, die said to me, (in YkUtoh of oonrael "What's so funny? We'ra just talking regutor Yiddiah." Uh huh—regular if you haven't surrounded yourself with Utvaka. And kinehorah, there are 80 nuny of you kugel freesers out there to lau^ at our Rusaian-flavated Yiddtoh. Well, I guesa aO that doean't prove anything, but I muat admit it aura makea me foal good to haar the language qtoken in the way I first learned it. I finally feel I can stop trying to justuy my dialect If anybody wants to make somrthing out of thto, 1st me know. Ill introduce you to sune of my Russian friends.
