"After 55 yean of marrlege, I'm a proud grandfather with the sweetest little grartddaughter.
"Thanks to my boys, I can slow down, but no way will I retire. I'm looking forward to sharing many happy times with my family..."
At ttM age of 97, and going strong toward 98, Roaa BlumMn eontlnuM to capture the imaginatkm of the young and change forever the Image of the elderly. Mra. B, who ae a living legend ia loiown throughout the worfd, graces our New Year cover and ieada us into a discussion of the role for the aged In our society. What we have found In our brief looic at some of the so-called elderly In our community, Is activity of unbelievable proportions. AitlMNigh we have found none to compare even remotely wHh Mra. B, we have found memt)ers of the Jewish community leading active and rewarding llvea— enjoying reaaonably good healttt—In their 60s, 70s and 80s. At a recent luncheon, I was amazed to find that two of my table companions (above photoe) were past the typical retirement age. They were eo engroeeed In tailcIng about playing baalcetball In the 'old days,' they psid little sttention ss I snapped their photoe. Later, I found out that briak-walking Mr. Sloler waa 83 and vigorous Mr. Epstein was 6i.
Once we Involved oursehfes in contemplating the extracurricular activities of those In the retirwiient years, we started also to think aboutltie possibility of futurs retirees epending some of their time in Israel. So, we have Included commenta and photos from some of the participants on the recent OmahaAJJA Mission to Isrsel. You will notice tltat this speclsl issue relies heavily on photo coverage and one of the reasons for this Is that we were fortunate to have the help of freelance writerphotographer Jo Carroll who took many of the photoe. Also included are aome of the photos that were taken recently when Congregation Beth El moved its Torahs from the old synagogue to ths new one. This waa a once-in-amfetime experience for most of those involvsd. Thanks sre due to many individuals for helping with thie special issue—an effort that takes months—but much appreclatton must be directed to Mary Feliman, Carol Katanan and Bert Lewla for their outstanding contrilMftkms; and to my co-workers Judith MartMirg.

Friedman, aa well as the many advertleers who continue ttieir eupport year after year. The Omaha Jewish community reminds me of a radto program from my yo|ith where they talked about Grand Central Station, crossroads of a thousand private lives. I may not liave the terminology correct, l>ut the concept la the aame. Each member of this Jewish community has a story to tell and the J»wl»h Pr»9s is an Ideal vehicle for telling that story. When we prepare future holiday issues, I would hope that members of the community take the kilUstlve—and once our theme is snnounced—let us know about your rslativss, friends snd aasocistes whose activities fit our profile. With your Input, we can continue to provide meaningful content for our special holiday Issues. A very happy new year to ail of you from the Jmwiah Pnu Board of Directors, tite staff, and your Jewleh family worldwMe. Mon-is Msllns

This inchidee part-time work as the admissions consultant for the School of Social Work at UNO, serving as chairman of the steering committee for LOVE at the Roee BlnmUn Home, aitting on a subcommittee of the Bureau of Jewish Education, working at the box office for the Omaha Community Playhouse and being an active member of the local chapter of the national Association of Social Workers. Not tp mention leisure time activities such as par»ir<p«Hnj in wtjr mmrtMr mwmria» ri—— —mural tim—

Whin I called my mother and aakad her if ahe'd like to have an article in the JewfahPraaa, aha laughed and aaki, "You can title it the nioctant ratiree." During the interview aha aiplainad what aha meant. "I dkln't haatcn to retire. I was rahictant to termbate nyralatinnahip with nycoDeagnee and the job I've been doing. I found my job stimulating and Mked what I was doing and the people I waa working with. Being around achool kapt me vital and future oriented." Locy'a atflUa^ with UNO began in 1964 whan aha taught social work daaaea part-time in the Department of Sockdogy. As the propam eapaaded, so did her job reqwnsibilitiee. FVom 1969-1981 she aenred aa the coor dhutor of the undeifiraduate aodal work program while aha continued to te«:h hi the School Ot Social Wo^ Lucy haa a fivaiMge renune with activitiee too plen-

She ahM served on the National Nomhiating Coounittae of the National Aaaodation of Social Workers. Though buqr with family and career reqionaihllities, Lucy alao found time for oonununity vohmtear activitiea. She was preakient of Jewish Family Service and served on the Advisory Committee of the Volunteer Bureau, the Jewiah Federation of Omaha Board And the Bureau for the Aging. "Retirement doaan't give me the opportunity to do the things I didn't get a chance to do beouse I did them while I was working," Lucy said. "I did a fair amount of travalingt and! waa always involved in volunteer work. "If I weren't going to do the admiasicms woric at the univeraity I mi^ feel a real void in my life, but I don't have any major a^justmenta to make." Thia ia baouisa Lucy's retirement began gradually

Althou^ she waa rehictant to retire, Lucy admits thrt there oomee a time idien you have to let go. "Young peo|de in a profession need to advance and their energy levd makes them more productive.

242 and 338 by the Arab statas, and no UN organizationa were«v8r wtabllahed to ba^ them. ' The original UN reaohition on the subject of rehigeaa, lies. 194, ad<q>ted in 1948 over the Arab atatee injections, called for the repatriation of thoae Pakatinian refugees willing to live at peace with their neighbors and tdsettleriient of the rest. Again, Israel is in con^diance with Uiis resolution, having rq>atriated thousands of falestipians whereas the Arab states (with the exception of Jordan) have consistently rafiued to resettle any refugees. The second paragraph refers to the possibility of establishing demilitariJEed zones to guarantee iMcure borders. This is relevant toc^cent su^peotions that the Golan Heights be damUitttlzed as part of a peace agree'nMnt with Syria. This is a conceivable (^ticm, but it is not required by 242: the resolution does ndt say that secure and recogni^ borders should be establiahed through the creation of demilitarized zones. The two points are separate. Once boundaries are establiahed. demilitarized zones are suggested as a way of guaranteeing them. Demilitarization, then, is only an option and not necessarily the c^timal one. HW ultimate goal of 242, as expressed in paragraph 3, is Uie achievement of a peaceful and accepted aettlement. This means a negotiated agreement baaed on the resolutions prindides rather than one imposed (qMO the parties. This is also the implication, as Amb. Ooldberg has sUted (Jerusalem Poet, May 28,1984), of Reaolutioo 338. Iliat reaohition, adopted after the 1973 War, called for negotiations between the parties to start immediately and concnrrenUy with the ceaae-fire. As in 1967, the Arab atatas refUaed to comply and continue to tUa day to avoid compliance. In a statement to the Oeural Assembly Oct 15.1968, rejecting Resolution 242, the PLO aaid the imidementation (rf aaid resohition will lead to the loss of every hope for the eatabliahmant of peace and security in Palestine and the Mldcfle Bast region. In December 1968, Yaair Arafat aaid for the first tims the PLO accepted 242 and 338, thoufl^ he aaid it in the context of stateqwit asserting the right of the atato of Pdestine to exist in peace and aecuri^. A few weeks Utter, he clarified his position: The acceptance of Resolution 242 by the PNC [Palestine National CouncQ] ia

conditional upon three principles—a Palestinian sUte, aelf-detarmination and the ri^t of return (MidiBe Bast News Agency, Jan. 6,1989). Thus, it turned oat Arafat and the PLO never really changed thefa* position. The Arab stetes have traditiooally said they accepted 242 as defined by them, that is, as requiring Israel's total, unconditional withdrawal from the occupied territories. Jordan was not even prepared to go that far. In July 1970, King Hussein declared that 1M no longer accq>ted Resolution 242. By contrast, Israel's position was given to the Security Council on May 1,1968 by Amb. Abba Eban: "My government has indicated its acceptance of the Security Council resolution for the promotion of agreement on the eatebliahment of a just and lasting peace. I am also authorized to reaffirm that we are wilUog to seek agreemeiit with each Arab Stoto on all matters included in that resolution. Israel's pdicy in this regard has been unchanged for 24 years. Sadly, the Arab stetee rejection of 242 has also remained the same. What do all theae legalisms mean fw the prospscts for pesos? The reeohitioos deariy caD oo the Arab ststee to make peace with Israel Hie princ^ oooditiaa is that lanA withdraw from territoriea occupied in 1967. As Beqjamin Begin said on Ni^^tline (March 7), this has been interpreted to mean that Israd must withdraw from some, all, or none of the territoriea still oeeapiiid. The Likud positlaa is that Israel witbArew frMn 92% of the torritoriss wiiaii It gave tip the Sinai and has thneby fdfilied ite obUgatioa under 242. Tbe quaetioo, tlMB, is resUy whether Isrsd has to give up some of ths tsrritoiyJt still holds. Begin hinted that compromiae ia poadUe, aa it waa with Egypt, during negotiatkxu with the Arab statss that result in a peace agresment WonkI it be enough for Israel to give up part or an of the Golan Heii^tts, part or all of tiw Weat Bank, part or aU 0(f the Gaza Sti^, or aiune combinatian of thass altemativss? Until ths Arab atates ait doWta with larael and fulfill tbeir obUgation under 242. it wQl be impoasihWi to determine an acoeptohlefttinula for peace Tlw Arab position that larael must withdraw from all the territoriea is simply inconsistent with the reeohition snd a nonatarter tor negotiations.

U.S. diplomatic efforte can only succeed if the focus ia placed on the Arab stetes totsl non-compliancs with 242. As Eugens Rostow haa written (ComnMntary, Oct. 1989), Resolutions 242 and 388 provida the only poeaible basis for peace because th^ are at least nominally agreed to Iqr all the parties concerned, and they aquaraly confr<mt the only cauae of tha|a<olonged conflict in the Levant: the steadfast refusal of the Arab stetes, except Egypt in 1977, to make peace with Israd.

Not Goodbye, Just Shalom By Jo Camil "WIMD MolUe tMman dawribo bar grandson; Beqjamill, shs sajrs, "Ha's my wbelm Ufe." But as moat paople know, Mrv. Dalman has a lot of othar intaraats that kaap htr buay. Twenty-two yean ago aha went to work part-time at the Jewish Community Canter aa an aaaiatant with the B'nai B'rith Youth Organisation (BBYO). She raoounU tboaa days aa, "the years before Uw loud drama were popular." Todi^ she is stiU an^lqyad by the JCC, but now ahe works with senior dtiieDS. She oversees the YES (Young Energetic Seni<»v) luncheons on Mondaya and Thuradaya and the Old Timars on Tueaday. Bira. Delman's office is just inside the Older Adults Lounge, whew she is easily acceaaible.
Whoi Mrs. Dehnan first started working wiUi senior dtiiens she said to herself, "I'm never going to be that old. That's never going to be me." Now she has decided to retire in January at the age of 70. She made the decision about a year ago because, as she put it, "I'd really rather retire on my feet." She has been the guide for many tours the senior dtizeos groups have taken. "I just want them all to be happy and get along. They seem to respect each other's age and kwk out for each other. All I have to say is,'trip' and they're off." Her favorite place to tour is Israel. "There's nothing like it," Mrs. Dehnan says. "It's like the whole world is Jewish." In preparation for her tripe, Mrs. Dehnan reads up on wha« th^'re going. She's never had a language problem, but thhiks it is he^hil that she qwaka Yiddiah. And if an else teils ahe says, "I just bhiff iqy way dirough it" About 30 paople go on tour with Mrs. Ddman to such diverse plaoea aa larael, Hawaii, New Orleans and even Aladu. Thqr travel by bus. boat, plane and train. "It's wonderful to see how happy they are," ahe aay. "Half of than wouldn't go anywhire U we didn't have theae toura. It's so much fun to eqtlore together. Mrs. Dehnan aaya ahe doean't mind growing older. "I don't want to be 20 again. I don't want to jump off the bua Uka I did when I waa 14."
She admita to having bad days now and then. "When I have a bad day, I work twice aa hard to get over it." When ahe started with the Old Timers t^ group had 22 people. Now the number is 300. "About 160 are active," Mollie Dehnan aaya with pride. "No one is under 60. Moat are about 76 years dd. I look at how active thay are and th^y make me feel good.'* Mrs. Ddman aays the kezchea (inaklaa) roll around when she thinks about retiremait. "But I wra't say goodbsre. I'll juat aay shalom."
"Most people aay that as you get oldyou have to give up tbiags. I think you get old because you give up things." Sen. Tbodore Frauds Green

High-tech composer By MoRia Maliae
Cantor Harold I. Firestone—a recent retiree from Temple Israel—has taken on the challenge of memorializing an American/Jewish patriot. "Haym Salomon, a Jewish businessman who emigrated to the Colonies from Poland, was instnmiental in financing the American War of IndqMndence and deserves greater recognition than mere menti<Hi in history textbocdcs," Cantor Firestone said. To provide a historic tribute for this American/Jewish patriot, Cantor Firestone collaborated with Donald Schwartz in writing a musical play. The musical is now complete and Cantor Firestone along with his wife, Madeleine, is trying to raise money to produce the premier perf(Hinance at the Jewish Community Cotter here. "We have some financial siqipcrt from the Nebraaka Arts Council and poadUy from one or more Jewiah or ganizationa in town, but we need additional donora to get the project co-stage." The diffiodty in rai^ng funds for a project like this is the fact that the Jew^ community has ao many preaaing needs sorfadng at the preaent time, Cantor Pireetooe pointed out He added that one of the prime motivatiooa for produdog the play is to cnhmoe the image of American Jewi^ patriota in the noihJewish community aa waU. To build intereat in the production, the Fireetooea are oooducting a aarias of parior meetings at their home, inviting memban ol the community to hear the muaic and to read some of the rolee. "I'va had tUa dream (rf Gompoaing a tribute to Hqrm Salomoo farmaqy years, and I bm to fulfill this draam aooa on the stage of the JOG," Cantor Fireatooa aaid.

'Qne is as old as one's heart." d'Houdetot
Mr. and Mra. Chaanin aattledb Lincoln to work and raise their family. Ha had his Ph.D. in agronomy and laughs about wlqr thoy choose Uncda "It was the only town that offered me a job that had mors Jewa than it did bears." He worlced at the University of Nebraska in the Department of Agriculture using sofl CODMnnMion, that stnased waste managemeot utflizatioa instesd of landfills. She raised their four children and became veiy active in Tifereth Israel Synagogue. Each day after school she woukl sit the children down individually and aak them about their day. Tbtiy both encouraged thair children in achod and all four were merit scholars." I told them if thqr wanted to leave the state to study they'd have to earn acholarshipa themsdves," Mr. Cheaoin says. "I also toU them if they choee to stay here and go to school, their mother would tell them how to wear their ties and I'd tdl them they couldn't have the car." He smiles and says, "You see, they all earned scholarshiiie." July 1,1985, was the day Mr. Chesnin retired. "I was scared," he freely admits. "So scared that the first year I still worked half-time." "I hadn't done anything for pleasure. My work was my whole life. I had to learn how to have spare time. I haven't even read a book for pleasure in a long time," Mr. Chesnin said. Instead of finding out what to do in his free time, he worked as a half-time consultant for a year. "It was a foolish thing to do," he says. In the last six years Mr. and Mrs. Chesnin have discovered how to enjoy free time and sprad much of it together. She chose not to play bridge or Mah Jongg witn her friends so they could have more time together. "My friends are amazed that Leon and I always have conversations going on. It's important to have time together."
Mr^ Chaenin hu been given the title of Emeritus and atOl does cabauttatida wok Cor tb^ sity. "They didn't replace ma wfaeo I retired becauaa <i bodgst reetralnta. I enjoy the work. It's rwtUy honor." „ The wonc that he doea for the university and some I vate eipert witness teatimooy that he doiea < invdve travding. Mrs. Chnnin aaya she has '. so much about it, "that I can dia^Mioetwhat kind ( minerals a field needs at 66 mp.h." Thqr olso travel a lot for pleasure, with this i _ ment: Time is q>lit fifty-fifty between museums experimental statiooa. "We must walk 26 miles a day," Mr. Cheanin aaya of theee trips. She looks at him i smiles and adds, "Mostly running for trains." They still rise every morning at 6:45, but don't i sarily eat breakfast together. "Meals are not anil . tant thing in our housdioU," he says. "Dutiea' •shared, but I make a lousy bed. I just get on the other' aide and pulL" A few years ago, thdr daughter, Nanqr Coren, who lives in Lincoln with bar fauriNmd and chfltfaw, took over the hoUday meals. "Swdoee abeautiful job," Mra. Chaenin says. Her advice to couidea thinking about retirement is simple, "life ia eaay. Don't expect a lot" "We don't stiind on ceremony," he rapUes. "It's a very pleasursble time in life." One of the pleasures he enjoys is his grandchildren, "who pop in the house to give me a hug and a kiss," Mr. Chesnin says. "I teach them how to play chess if they're interested and see if they can learn to beat Grandpa," he says. "I much prefer being a grandparent in residence than in absentia," Mr. Chemin aays. He tells how he was able to convince his parents to move to Lincoln so they could watch their grandchildren grow up. "Many of my counterparts are having heart attacks at age 70. They're not enjoying life. Many of them can't c(»e with the concept of retirement." But the same is not true for Mr. Chesnin."If I'd known about it and couki have afforded it, I'd have done it forty years ago!" he laughs.

My Bat Mitivah was celebrated on a kog-ago ffiiabbat Shnvah, the Shabbat that fills between Roah Haahanah and YomK^UHg. My father waa my teacher. He was a rabU, oktworid style, who "qwdaliied" in teadiing (at whidi he waa a vedtabie Pied Piper) and in reeding Torsh (st which he was nncommaaly gifted and skilled.) When Poppa read Torah, each trop was flawleaaty and lovingly dumted. And his diamstic inteiUgeot intarpretaticn of the text gave Usteoers goosebumps, even if the listeners had aro understanding of Hebnw (which was usually the caae). Having a man of this caliber as their "melamed" was, to young students, a scaiy business. (Having a man of this caliber as one's melamad and father had ramifjcations that reverberate to thia day. But to continue...) Poppa tried to instill his passion for the perfect trop and his reverence for the Hebrew word in idl his talmidim. Generations of students sat at his feet, tried their beet and still mang^ many a "munach" in the process. Poppa listened to all of them and said, simidy, "Again." His endurance was legendary.

And so, thia New Year, I win again aihr Al Chet and aak atonemwit for my aine. HW afau of pride, anger, ingratitnrK jeafcmy, diarespect, larinaes, etc, etc. You know. AO the afais of which most of us are typically guilty. And this Shabbat Shuvah in remember nqr Bat MitsvahandtheteacWngBofmyparenta.lieseonBevenmore meanhigful to my life than Un worda of my haftarah 111 remember to take more care with my stitches. Ma. Ill try to tie up all thooe kkMe threads «nd neatQr finish the seams. Sure, I'd like the outside to be beautiful, but 111 try to give greater attention to the inside. I want this garment, wh^ is me, to wear well, after all, and not fall apsit. Not soon, at least And yes, Popp». I'll remember that when I make a mistake—even one that <mly I am aware of—it's still a mistake. Ill ask to be forgiven, but this forgiveness may be the hardest to get for it must come not from others but from me, myself. *•• "Return, oh Israel, unto the Lord your God," ssys the haftarah for Shabbat Shuvah. "Say unto Him, forgive all iniquity and accept that which is good." We should say that to one another, too. Forgive all iniquity. Accept that iriiich is good. In others and in oui^ selvee. ~ May you and yours be inscribed for a New Year of sweetness and good health. Amen.
I waa a fidgety pupiL llie trop came eaai|y enough but the haftarah for Shabbat Sfanyah, full of ezhortaticns to renounce sfai, tranagreaakn and iniquity end retum-elravaU-to God, held little mtereatfor me. My delivety wae hurried and doppgr and Poppa said "again" with regulaiify.
"So what if I make a couple mistakes, Poppa." I said. "Who in the congregaUon will know?" "If you make a mistake, tochtcr, you will know," he said. I was only 12 and tlds wisdom was lost on me. Now, if my father was the consummate teacher, my mother was the quintessentisl seamstress. And so, of course, she made my Bat Mitzvah dress. I could have worn that drees inaid»«ut, so exquisitely was it lined and finiahed. No raw edges. No tangled threads. If a seam didn't meet my mother's standards she 8in4>ly ri^wd it out and sewed it again. And again. "Why do you care so much about the faiiddfi?" I asked her. "No one is ever going to see the inside." "A dress may be bemtifal on the outside," my mother replied. "But if the inaide is not well-made, the dress will so<Hi fan apart Any good tailor knows that.'' This wisdom wss kwt on me, toa * • '• My Bat Mitzvah, as beet I can recall, went just fine. Did I make mistakes? I don't remember for sure, but probably yes. What I do know for sure is that the years since that Shabbat Shuvah have not been error-free.

'If you enjoy things, everything falls into place!' By Gnat airiiit—yauthfiil, lively and fun—smraands Ann White like an electric charge. "I can talk to anybody at anytime about anything or nothing." Eyes spariding and smile flaahing often, Ann White gestures with grscefulhanda while dbe protests that she is just a "regular person," unsure why she is the subject of an interview. But according to Ellen Albin, regional president of Missouri' Valley ^Hadassah, Ann White, young in her 80+ years, is '*im^3tg me how to grow old." It's appai^ edt that her quiwmind, agile body and zest make Ann White an interesting, attractive person, regardless of her very senior years (which no one guesses, she confides). "I'm healthy and well, thank God. That's first," Ann says. "And I had to work practically all my life, for starters, so that's kept me in the world and especially in touch with people." Or as she says, in touch with "the public." Her maqy "publics" began to accumulate when she was 13, she says, when she quit hi^ school, against ho* parents wishes, to sell behind the counter at the Burgess-Nash Dqurtment Store in downtown Omaha. Bom in Yanqxil, Russia, and iMtNight to Omaha at age two by her mother to join aunts, uncles and couaina already here, Ann Ackerman White sold merchandise to her public later at Brandeia. Then, after her marriage to Herinan White, (whose original name in Russia was probably Batt, ahe says) she continued to sell while she ran a mom^idiKip groceqr store with her husband until Us death when aha waa 62. Returning again to cashiering and retail selling, Ann sold everywhere from stores to import gift shops to the Joslyn abop to B<Mvheim's downtown. She never really retired, llirougfaout the later yaara of this period—the last 18 years continuing even to today—Ann haa volunteered one day a wedc at the Hadaasah shop known as the Bargain Box. "Becanae I k>ve to see and be with customers and talk to them, I know joat how to amiroach them and how to intoreat thaoi.in merchandiae." Yo« know." aha uyn. "If you eaioy mwiething, everything falls hitd place." Gofaig to the Baigahi Box one day a week to aeD is one wmy Ann White staya young. While ahe makea occaaiooal adjustmente to the price tags at the Bargain Box, raiaing prices if she thinks items are too km, or lowering them to help than move, ahe forma ralatinnships with steady customers, some of «4Mm. ahe aajra, often come hi juat to iMowae and chat with her. "I love it there," ahe says with enthusiasm. "I tove the cfaittcr and the 'old-time' fed of the abop. and besides, where else at my age coukl I be on the fkxr, m touch witii peofde all day, selling and taDdng and being in the wcrld?" "Also," she add. "I'm happieet there-of all the things I do—becniae that'a where I'm equal I'm the aame adf I always was. doing what I e^ioy." "And I ksap np," ahe adds, m response to a reportera question about hir favorite w^rs to qiend tims in her 'Vetirenwnt." "Sunday is my day for current evento, I rand, of coorae, but I tune in to David BrinUsy and the ltd langhKn Report every Sunday morning, ao I understand the weak'a evwita and atay cmrant "You know," ahe aaya.

[
everyone's mind these dayd, this reporter asked Ann White her views on the possible time when she mig^t not be able to ctmtinue in her apartment or do for herself. Her spirited and up-beat answer was predictable: "If I have to have care, then that's what would be. A retiremait home like the Blumldn Home would be fine, because I would never be a burden to my children, and I've made it dear to them that I believe in euthanasia. I firmJty believe that the person goes iHun their mind goee—and that aimply maintaining aomeoae who ia juat a ahell is too painful for them and their family."

Meet 'Mrs. Beth El' ByJoCKioU
TobyKagaa
^
For 23 yean she was known u "Mrs. Beth EL" Her huaband. George, calls her Toby, Toby Kagan. Mrs. Kagaa lived just half a block from Beth El synagogue, where she werkad five days atreek^from sine to five. "I loved every minute of it," she says. Bat at age 62 she retired. Her husband was retiring. She wanted to be free to be with him and fna to do some traveling. Her sister, Rose RoHman, Hved just a Uock away and Mrs. Kagan began her retirement years by doing some volunteer work with har sister. They both spent one day a week vohmteecing at the OttkBoo Hospital Ooft Shop. But this wssn't enough outlet for the time and energy Mrs. Kagan found s^ had on her hands. One day she read in the pi4i>er Uiat volunteers were needed at Dundee Grade SdiooL She lived quite nearby 80 she decided to inquire into the situation. One-to^ne tutoring was needed for some children, however volunteers haid to be certified. "When I went to the dasses to be certified there were many people of varied badq;rounds there," Mrs. Kagan said. "After I received my oertificaticm, I helped in the third grade two days a waek for two hours a day. The teacher was very grateJuL I thoroughly enjoyed it" The downakle of this vohmteer activity was the meetings that were hekl afterwards. "AH the other vohmtaora were young women. IVy would talk about their problems of chikkare.1 fdt a Uttia awkward, like it was past my time," Mrs. Kagan related. But back at Beth El, it was certainly not past her tiatf^ Along with MoUie Dalman and Mary Fellman, MIS. Kagan organised theHmrsday program. Designed for older adults it was called the Widk-in, Drop-in Program. At 10 a.m. the meeting began with a diacusrion, sometimes music, or perhaps a ^>a»ker or a book review. A hot lunch was served at nooa Many of the partic^NUita
Uvenlaarby. "I enjognsd this becausellove being with people," Mrs. Kagan sjQrs. ' For the first part of her retirement Mrs, Kagan tried to Undt her voluntaw work to the area doee to wbve she Uved. Or she might go with her sisttf to hdp her. There was a special reason for this: Mrs. Kagan never learned to drive. "I lived three blocks from the synagogue. The town had a wraderful bus fine. We were a one«ar family. My sistra lived only a half block away." However, she regrats it now. "Now I miss not being <^ to drive," she laments. "Everyone should lesm how to drive." Her face is seen often at the Jewish Community Center. She served two terms on the JCC Board as well as the Federation Board. She helped organize the YES (Young Energetic Seniors) group and the Bureau for The Aging. Mrs. Kagan also organized and still serves on the Food Service Committee at the Blumkin Home. She says food makes up such a large part of the residents lives that they need more iiqmt to it. "It gives than a chance to talk about their likes and dislikes." She is modest aboot her vohmteer work. "As long as I have the energy and ability to volunteer, I will. Life has given me so much as I have given it. I am the bene" factor when people smile at me." Hive there been down sides to retirement? "Yes," she s^rs. "I wish I had given a few more years to Beth EL They wtoted me to stey." But according to Mrs. Kagan, there are many good siike too. "I am free to do only what I really want to do. I have the freedom of not having rigid time schedules." She reads a lot "I'm in the FWeration lil»ary all the tima I can't stand TV." Her advice to future retirees is simple: "Please keep your life fiilL Have outlets fw your energy. It's amazing how useful pet^le can be."

' You mean f^ople like BjrBcrtLewlt When John Kobn hfBud the topk of tUa issue was second careers after retirement, his comment was "you faiean people like me—the fanner cheeae peddler tunied Hynagogne adminiatratar?" A scynewhat over-sin^lified statement, but factual. John's background is interesting—not what might be tapected of a man in his job. Today his duties at Beth Israel Synagogue include office management, ritual operation, asustance to the rabbi, overseeing the cemeteries and the funeral home. In addition, he's the man who speaks to the caller who wants to sponsor a Idddush or who wants to know how itauch it costs to purchase books or leaves on the Tree 9f Life. He answers various questions whidi always arise during thoee sad occasions we sll face sometimes. In short, somebody always wants to know something and Ite's usuady the man to supply the answer. On Saturday moniing, after servicee wboi the congregants gather to aay kiddush, and to wish each other a good Snabboe, John Kolm is there, participating. (And M often as not, hehung to pick up and put away things when folks are finished.) John ssys "I came on board in February of 1986, ostensiUy to take Charlotte Kaidan's place. Then the late Mr. Bittner became iU and retired; he had cared for so many of the ritual details, it was important to pick up his work..." The explanation continued when John aaid "then the rabbi's health failed and alao Mr. Sidman becanM unable to omtinue his years of caring for the cemeteriee." In other worda, his remons&nlities expanded due to dr^ cumstances. He says it dkln't remain just administrative for long." All of thia aounds mote like a fnllrtime career of nuuty years standing; rather than the past half decada In fact, ^'the old cheese peddler" as he calls himself, worked at an earlier job for years befbre the synagogue beckoned. The Kolm fainlly business and John's particq^tion m^VlffMPoiher cnprjntJrely. The family eame, origiMf^m^m'^tisinriK Martin Kobn, John's father, ifeanaged to'leaw Oennanyln 19SS and make his w^y
first to En^and and then to America. He came to Omaha in 1940, after a short stay in New York proved it to be the wrong place to find work. He quickly managed to both reunite Ua family and get a job. Mra. Kofan arrived with two Kttle boys, Fred and John, and Martin Kofan waa hard at work, selliiig cheeee. f^m this simple beginning, the senior Kolm built a sttoceasful businees. J(rim and his brother always worked and helped, from the time th^ were youngsters. Grown, following college, Fred went into the military and ultimatdy left Omaha. The business grew and eventually became a food distributing company; this was the work that occupied John and his father unto 1959 when another change made the Kdm's a food brokerage firm. Martin Kolm remained active until about 1968, when he retired. He died in 1969. John continued operation of the food brokersRe until 1986, when chaofmt conditions influenced him to doee the businees. That was the official end of Career I and time to look into Career II. John says he had options and could have gime into several dinerent areas. He held a degree in accounting and also a master's in businees. The job opening at the synagogue struck a chord. That was, as earl^ nwntioned, in February of 1986. On his fifth anniversary with the synagogue, he expeesed some (tf his feelings in the Bulletin: "This job is far fiinn duU. No two days are ever alike nor is it wise to plan more than one di^'s work at a time. But it has been a privilege and satismeticn to serve our members." He contJnoee, "In my short time here, if I've been able to be of help and service, then I feel I have done my duty. If I've, bssn able to make a difference, I feel I have ffnww^alwH mnrntthing If T hiiva maA» • g««itrihiiti<m
to make this a better synagogue, I feel I have met the challenge given me." ThB membershto of Beth Israel must certainly be grateful the "dd cfieeae peddler" opted to switch careers and make the stately Btnietmre on 62ad Street his work address. If Us office is thoui^ of aa the machine which keeps Vb» ^magogoe running, John Kolm is surely the sparic which i^aites the acticn.

Many people in the midat of building and auataining caraara and fomOiaa have fantaaiaa about how U^y woold nee thrir time diffoMitly if they had fewer reaponaibilitiee. Many of these fantaaiee nmain notUng moca than juat that, becanaayiey are not developed doing the pretetinnent yeara. When ntimMBt baa bagnn, it'a nnch eaaiv to devote additional time and raaooraee to a hobby or laieare activity iridch haa been devaloped than it ia to atait from acratch. Moreovar.peopla who enter their MtiwuMut without intereata other uan work often are plagued with inertia, boradom, and oven depreaaioB. IMatinnah^ alao nwy change draaticaHy at retiremant, and it'a tanportant to antic^Mta changeo early. The demanda of raiiing very youagidhildren often force parenta to iavaat laai time in their manlaga than they would oCherwiaa. Tliey forego the pleaauree of qiending Maura time together, without the diOdran, and they eometimee for^ get what attracted themaelvee to each other in the first place.

If they don't, then at the point when ratiremMit begtna for one or both, they nuqr feel like atrangera wliD now apend entire d^ya together. One final pofat to keep in mind ia that retirement need not be aem aa the end of all active woric or prcrfeaaional endeavor. There may be opportunitiBe during mtlnwient to work part^ime, to be a cons«tltant, to inite, to be a volunteer, or to ha4i» eomeone else enter the maricetplaoe.

'Doing a job for the community...' ByBartUwb t{ Jerry Rosen's name ia familiar because you think you saw an attide about him teoeatly, you're absohitely light. There was, as recently as thkipast April, a story about Jerry's work as Endowment EKrector 4f the Jew^ Federation of OmahA Foundation. Iliat's a large part of his career story— the Foundation. But there's more to tell, and that's why this particular issue of the Jewish Press is an appnqpriate showcase for yet another chapter in the Rosen story. The point is, Jerold Rosen wasn't always in this kind of work. The native Omahan did the usual things a inan of his age did* be went to military service, came out in 1946. In 1947 he and Sheila PradeD were married, and for a time he worked for her father, the late Abe Pradell in the grocery bust ness. He was called back to military duty during the Korean war and returned to civilian life in 1952. For a short while he was back in the grocery business—until 1953. That was the year Jerry 'decided insurance was the career for him, and he must have been correct because it held him Until 1984. For 31 years insurance was his game, both here in Omaha and during the eight years from 1973 to 1981 when the Rosens resided in Tucson. Arizona was home because of health problems, but they were ^ad to return to family and community in '81. Jerry says "we've never regretted our return." Jerry continued in the insurance field after they moved badt here, but he wasn't happy with the work. He says, "I didn't like what conqianies were doing; the bushiess had changed dramatically from close atai personal to a different feeling entirely. Insurance companies," he says, "began competing
with bankf and savings and loans fnr the dollars. It was not good... I wasn't happy." As the April story explained, Mort l^achtenbarg (whom Rmen calls his oldest and best friend) approadj^ him regarding the Foundation. Jerry says it to(^ a Httie coa:dng—he wasn't sure of starting on something so unrelated to his past experiences. But slowly he began to look at the opportunity witii favor. He reidized he would like "doing a job for the community! That appealed to me. And I was attracted to the idea of being the first one to do this particular job." When he finally agreed, he began on a part-time basis. The part-time, which began in 1984, became a full-tbne endeavor a few yean ago and Jerry says, "I like working in a Jewish envinmment. I Uke the feeling that comes with the territory. I like being part of a larger picture, making things happen." Those pe(q>Ie who were present at the inception of the Foundatkm credit Rosen totally. In an earlier interview Trachtenbarg said "he helped to organize, took care of every detail and followed throu^ with whatever needed to be done. He's a terrific administrator." When Jerdd Rosen talks about his current work, the constant reference to his satisfaction must be noted. It becomes more than apparent this man is doing a job he finds very gratifying. He enjoys the many facets of the woric and should also e^joy the knowledge he is providing a great service to his community. While the insurance business occupied the first 31 years of his adult work experience, his departure was surely their loss. The Omaha Jewiah community is indeed fortunate that Jerry became disenchanted with his original chosen career. The old cliche may be trite, but in this case certainly true: their loss is oiu- gain.

choice: Active retirement or inactive re-tired-ment " As our population ageg and length of life is extended, mon people are entering the paxdndng pottals of retirement, eiUier by choice or by requeet, maigr with much time and energy to spare. 'For some the transition from the work-a-day world is a traumatic experience. Once that line of demarcation is droaaed and being unprepared for their retirement years, they tend to sit back and let lifto happen to them, lliey are the loaers. The winners make life hai^Ma for Uiem and make it a beneficial haiyening for others as well. There is a vast difi^renoe between the biological age and a retiree's chroootogical age. The calendar may properly.statMae'syearsinnumberabutitdoesnoCtake into account the vitality and significant role a retiree is capable for performing for family and othera. Barring physicd disability or chronic illnees there is a choice: an active retirement or an inactive re-tiredment. Where is it etched in granite that one has to sit in a rocking chair after retiranent? Some diooee to march to a different dnimmer. Hie most fanouB of tiie great Florentins artists of the Renaissance period in the judgment of many admowledged authoritiee was Michdangelo. His statuee of Moeee and David attest to the colossal stature of his incredible genius. He continsed to envisian and create until he waa on the threahold of hii eoth year. Pablo Picasso, founder of the Bchool of cuUam painting and sculptors, accomidished beautiful works of art wdl into his ei^bth decade of life. George Bernard Shaw extended his creative dramatic writing into his 90s. My mandatory retirement as a divisional manager of a major importing company, occurred in 1977. I put forth many justifying reaaona why I felt the company was making an unjust decision but corporate policy is oft-times uncompromisfaiBly rigid. I packed my saiddle bags and within a matter of a few wwka became aasodated with an 11-etate networit joorou as a correapondent and eohunnist. I am conently associate editor ni the NelMaska pnUkatibn.
Aside from this, I do freelance writing and have had a variety of artidee published in a number of periodicals. Most gratifying of all, during my eo<iaBsdretireinaBt years, I have latdhsd onto vohmteering for Jewiah organitations and communibr cauaee. My efforts on behalf <Hthe March of Dimee, Multiple Sderoeis Society, American Cancer Society. Eastam Ne bradca Office on Ag^, Foster Grand^Mrent Program, to name a few, have been naoet rewarding. I have served on the bounds of Beth El Synagogue, the Jewish Federation, Bureau forltha Aging, Jewbh Fanilly Service, Jewish Coaamaity CsnMr, Cultural Arta Council, Russian Resettlement, chaired divisions of the Federation rampsign for oianyyvars and jiarticipatad on additional committeee too numorous to mention.
In between these fmmidable but pleasant tasks, my wife, Anne, and I have visited 28 foreign countriee. For thoee contenqilating retiring—do some planning before yoQ pidc iq> your goUi watch, plaque or whatever farewdl gift you may be presented. Don't feel disheat^ tened about age creeling vp on you. It is a i^ivflege denied to many. live while you Uve. I have been asked, "Are dl these endeavors you under take what yon call retirentent?" Yes. Givhig whils Uving fills a deep need within me to help others. My motivation is based on theee lines by poet Robert Froet: "But, I have promisee to keep And mOee to go befbi* I deep."

'Doing the best he can'
Rabbi Braoka shows his gnadaoii, JoMph, tb« finer pofaite iavohred ia tnuuliitii« Hebrew text. Pbato By Jo CarraB
By Jo CairoU Although Rabbi Sidney Brooks stepped down from the podtion he held at Tenqile Israel for 33 years, he does not like the word "retire." "It does not apply to me. Retire is not a good word for rabbis. I'm not leaving the arena. Being a rabbi is part of my life. I'm still a rabbi and I always will remain one." In spite of this, Rabbi Brooks gave up his pulpit at age 65." I'd had my turn," he says." It was time for somebody younger with new ideas. I felt no pressure to retire. I didn't hear anybody say, 'Get that old goat out of here!'" Rabbi Brooks still retains an office at Temjile Israel filled with books and momentos. "My whole life is on the wall back there," he said, pointing to the rear wall of his office which is covered with plaques and certifications of qspredation. His days are far from boring since redrfng. He has made trqis to Ohio and Pfennq^vania to be a guest rabU. More reomtly his rabbinical duties have tiufa him to the south to Vicksburg, Miss. "A y«ar ago people from Tbmple Anshe Chesed in Vicksburg called me. Thara'a no placement system for retired rubis," he jokes. He goes to this small southem town for the Hi]^ Holy Days and about every six
weeks. "They lived in a different world. It's a small, older congregation. The Hebrew school only bas one child in it. I try to be comforting.''

The beauty of old age BjUajH.Bdm Swrhror of the HoloMwt We jut came home from a virit with aqr dm^itar and her famity, who Hv« in LineofaL I still fMl that wann farewell Idas on my cheeks and I wondered what I would have missed if I would not have lived 80 long. It's like a wonderful minde that, in ^lite of aU hardships, heartachse and pains, I am still shve and aUe folly to eojoy every happy OMBMnt in my Ufe. Instead of remembering onJty the hardships we had to eodnre, we should never forget the beaatiM events, too... events wUeh give as oourge, wH^power. We shouUI recognise the blessings we received during the many, seeming endless years. The joy we fed when we look at our grandchildren, the pride we have when we see them growing iq> to become suooeesfiil, vshiable, pndous people, fed their love for us, cannot be conqMred with a paiidess, early end of Bfe. When my baby son died after a short vidt on earth, I asked over and over agahi, "Why?" and "Why him and not me?" I could not find an answer to my questions. But I was blessed to became a mother to a second bqy. Although I was actually not to be blamed or made reqwnsible for the death of the firstbwn, I got the message to talce qpedd care of the second one. Our children are our greatest treasure in our lives snd so are their children. In the concentration camp and even aftor that terrible time, I asked God maqy time for a quick death. He didn'tUsten. Heknew better, and much later Hegayeme Hisanswer. Only "gdd age" can fully appreciate the blesdngs of Ufe. llie wonders of ntodem aehkfvements hi me&hie and fatdusbry to prokng a human HfB, to make living eeaitr. to wtirimi• pain—these are the subjects we have teamed to ajfrsciBte and eonqisre to the fact of an eariy death. EaHy death wouU have deprived us of the beanty of old age and deep in our hearts we knsw this. Whoever I ssked, "If you had the choice of dying maqy years ago, bdore you had to endure so many miseries, would you have wanted to die?" The answer in many casee was "No." "Would you want to die now?" "Na" "WouU you like to live tiU you are 120?" "No." "So what wouki you like?" No answer. HW bast is ahnqrs to Istve our bdng on earth to Qod. He knows what's best, what's good tot us. He ahrays gives us only so much to cany as we are able to bear. He empowers us with the neceeaaiyaodurance,willpower, courage strength snd submission to His unfailing wisdom. To see the warm welcome smile in a child's face, to fed the warm wet kiss oo our cheeks, to be aUe to answer a child's questiaas, to look into the big trusting qres which don't question our knoiried|(e, don't doubt our wisdom—wisdom schievad in mangr yean lingering on earth—is more than just satisfactkm to haw lived so kmg-And we know this in order to make sense of our being on earth at all How mnch do we like to be honored? There are rewards of all genres for having lived so kmg, whan psopte recognise in us that, dsapits aD mlahappeninga, we have oonqnered and we are ptmd to lean that a hundred years on earth hav* been lived for purpose. Yoimg agee are joyful toa We eqjoy thtm but they are not QMciaL And there is something else. If our points of view are diffennt, not in harmony with todagrs opinions, if our dadsioos sound stupid, we ahrays hsve the excuse, "It
is the age." We cannot always bisme the weather for our senility, the age is a wonderful excuse and easy to understand. A abort while ago we passed a "used car cemetery." Cars of every trademark were thrown into the place— they had doiie their duty and oouUn't compete any knger with new modds, outfitted with SH the nsw inventions. Hie M cars cooUnl be recyded any more and aometimes snnebody is looUng for s still good reusable part I remembered the "dd iron place" and compared it with a rest home f^r the eUeity—the dd bones and brains were fully utilised, tfaqr have become a nuisance to the young generations. They cannot be recycled any more and now have become a burden. Then we should understand and quietfy rstreat, we shouU wholeheartedly enj(>y the pleasures of dd age after a fbll life of hard work, mishappwiings, troubles and hairiness. I got quite a few letters of ajqirBciation tram the boeses I worked for, but the most predoos wss from my grsnddanghter, Nicole. She wrote: DtarOfwidma,Evm though I don't hoM always timt To dine, but «V«R on tim*» when it may not thow, I want you to hnow that I love you. I wish whm it's rough, wa would fust touch, so I could tah* away thtpain. Though words art not as special as a touch. I writ* this posm just for you. You art thoughtful and hind and many timts on my mind, ladmirtandrtsptctyougrtatly, You ntvtr complain.

"This kind of letter brings joy to the golden years." This land of letter brings joy to the gdden yesrst Thank heaven old age cannot be bought with monnr. It'iB an attitude, with how we accept end of life.' "n accept our destination with dignity and joy is the only way to face dd age, without oonqtlaints and grudge. How could we.wboleheartedly enjoy health if we nevar experienced sfcknass. The slway»<atiBfled stomach cannot fed the sgony of hunger. After a day of hard wort, we wdcome with open arms the hours of rest, lelaxar tkm snd dreamless sleep. Remembering the busisst tims in Our youth should let us accept the peaceful hours at our sge with the knowledge that we now have the rie^ to be aknr, aleepy, ^red—the knowledge that once upoa a time we fnUDIed our oUigatiena, now is the time to cslm down, to rest This is the beauty of oU age, the right to be what w» are—"oldtimers" tiad not "qxing chickens" any more. It ia not an eaqr task to ssy goodbye to duties ws have gotten used to and to accept buy hours. The desirs to show off with achievements which we ars now unable to reach makee us fed miserable. Yet the same energy which was nssdsd to become somdMdty is alao needed to atap down from the throne for which wa haw worind 80 hard. It is not B shame to be not 100 parcsnt fit anymore, but ths normd oouras of Ufe and ovaiybo4y haa to face it—even tboee who now take fltneaa, aglUty for granted into the stages of aging.

Norm Koney often finds his letters to the editor are published. At left, he shows one from VSA Tod»y and |kt right, the Omaha WvUUmid.,,.
A man of many words... By Jo Cairoll It was a secret that be kept from his wife for 2S years. Now lie pr^ts it on his business cards. Norm Koni^ didn't graduate from high school when be was a teenagw. A IB^ achool diploma was aomething he had always wanted and when he was 70 yean dd he decided it wasn't too late to get one. He went badi to school and studied for his G.E.D. and graduated with the class of 1983. His busineaa carda now read, "Nonn Kamey, OJ! J)." "I figure if people can pot Ph.D. bdiind their luuDM I can putO.E.D. bJiind mine. I'm veiy proud of it," he says. I Mr. Komey sold his paint boaineBS 10 years ago, but lie has hardly retired from an active life. He keeps an up-t(>date resume on file, listing all the ot'ganiuititms he is active in and what positions he holds. His closest friend ia his word processor. He Isanwd how to type years ago. "I hadn't typed for a long time, but it aU came back to me. It was just like riduig a bicycle." Mr. Komey's word prooeeaor gets a hefty workout most days. He writes letters expreasiog hifl opinioD to between three and 20 different publications each week. A frequent writer to the Jewiah Preaa and the Omaha World-Herald, he also has had letters pobUshed in Newsweek, The Wan Street Journal and The Wadd^tMiPost "I don't take Playbogr MagaEtae," he points out, "But I onoa had a letter published in it"
When asked wby his letters get puUished he replied, "I like to think it's becauae I'm smart enough, but there are other reaaoos. Th^ like short artidee. When they cut one of my letters in half (to edit it) it hurts my ego, but it's their paper." In case he thinks of an idea daring the night, there is alwi^s a handy legal pad hf his bedside. A glance at the cnneat 009 reveled an idea Mr. Komey had thought of during the night. "My wife and I are in our late 708 and are still saving for our old age..." worst thing you can do when you retire," Mr. Komey aays, "ia to rit in a roeking chair. My vdunteer work kespa me out dbed. You need, a routine. I need to get up every morning and drees. Sk^y dressing makea a guy look <dder." "TIM
But Saturday mornings Mr. Komey goea firiiing. "I uaed to think I'd go fishhig five days a week. That was my dream. I still fish, but I found out I didn't want to do it five days a wedc. '"niere's gbod fishing at Two Rivers, about 30 miles out of town. I uae a fly rod and a spin caster with lures. If none of this works, I've abr^ys got mardmuOowa and com with me. That never falb to land a fish." He and his wife, Gertrude, live in a Condominium off 90tii and Dodge. Mra. Komey deacribea her husband of 67 yeara as "a tWnWwg peraon. His mind is always going." , "There used to be a com field where we live now," Mr. ^ Komey reflecta. "We live here in an apartment becauae! I 400't like yard woric"
The.Northnq>-Jooee Cfxnpany Reetaurant at 1617 Faitaem is Us eur^t office, jckee Mr. Kofoey, "The waitreaa ktews me ao wen she often takM niessagea f or me. And having been fishing in the Arctic, and all over All my frirada know that's where they can reach me the United Statee to viait children and grandchildren, between 9 and 11 every weekday morning." Mr. Komey would never think of retiring to 8omq>lace Hia other favwite reetaurant-is McDonald'a. "I like like Fbrida. '"lUa iamy townl" he says of Omaha. And to go there for a cheeseburger,- french fries and coffee. after all he's still saving for his old age. I'm not a big eater." ••«•-••

Ted Newman improves driving By Diane Azler Baoin At 86, Te4 A. Newman still approaches life with a determination to "make every day a surprise," but he's not looking far any surprise when he's behind the whed. Tbat's why he benefited from "(Coaching the Ma' ture Driver," the defensive driving course he took in June. Mr. Newman <gplainw that the national Safety Cknmdl's ei^t-hour course, invdving no actual driving, utilizes a number of slide presentationB and films that show the right and wrong thing to do. The visual aids, simulating a wide range of eq)eriences, explcRe rural and dty situ^ou, parking lot and bacldng up problems, and tedudques necessary for driving saMy on multiplelane hi|^wa3rs. The course also includes a self-appraisal test and a health and safety audit. According to its manual, the course focuses on "refreshing your driving techniques—reminding you of skills you already know but sometimes forget to use".... and incorporating "skills that will be new to you—including some that can he^ conq)ensate fw physical changes caused by aging that affect driving abOity." For Mr. Newman, passing this course rqiresents a milestone in more than 70 years of driving. He recalls his first experiences behind the wheel whoi he was about 13 in his native Sioux City. He points out that in those First Worid War days a driver's licmse was not required. " didn't have to get a driver's license till I was in my 20s," he adds. Now that he has completed "Coaching the Mature Driver," he will be expected to take anotho* refresher course every two years. Mr. Newman is concerned by many of the drivers he sees on the road today. "Young peopfe have their minds on too many other things whm they drive. Wh^ you drive, you've got to watch everything," he states, adding with emphasia, "An automobile is a dangwous vehicle!" Believing that it's better to drive an old car than a new one, Mr. Newman owns a 1986 Cutlass Ciera. One festive of his car he especially likes is the placement of the gear shift lever. "I don't have to take my eye off the road for even a sectmd," he says with a smOe. Mr. Newman's concern with caution on the road carries over to other areas of his life. "I live alone and have to keep well," he says, explaining that his wife of many decades, the former La Vorn Fd>lowitz, died in 1989 after a long illness. Now he takes all his meals outstarting with breakfast everyday at Baker's—but keeps things that are healthy in the refrigerator.'' ator." The food industry dominated Mr. Newman's working years, many of which were spent with the Hinky Dinky Stores, a Newman family business. Now that he's retired, he pays daily visits to two sisters and does "everything he can to thinlc young." Mr. Newman's philoaophy for the retirement years is clear-cut. One of his mottoe is, "Be happy. Iliink of something pleasant that's going to happen today or tomorrow." Another is, of course, to drive with great care at all times.

LAND FOR PEACE?
WHO'S THREATENDIG WHOM? PALESTIHUH-AMBSALflEAOYHAVEA mmMO IHMflOAN. WIU THE JEWS Be DCNICDTiam HOMELAND IN ISHAEL? For 43 years the Arabs have sought to destroy Israel. From 1948 to 1967 the "West Bank" was In Arab hands. And, when the Arabs lost the "West Bank" during their June 1967 war of aggression they demanded it back for the sake of the "Palestinians." But there is a nation in the Middle East which occupies almost 77% of what was once called "Palestine." That nation is Jordan. Most of the people living in "Jordan" are "PalestinianAiabs." That's why carving up the Jewish State—what some people call "land-for-peace"- and creating another Palestinian-Arab State led by Saddam Hussein's PLX> terrorist and Islamic Fundamentalist allies won't work.
The "West Bank" is Judea and Samaria. And Jews have a right to live in Judea & Samaria. In fact, the right of the Jewish people to live. In Judea & Samaria goes back to lime Immemorial. Israel doesn't "occupy" Judea & Samaria and Jews aren't "settlers" in their capital Jerusalem. No amount of oil. no amount of Arab propaganda can change that. Militarily, israel must control Judea & Samaria to defend its existence. And it's time the Bush-Baker Administration came to grips with this reality. "Land-for-peace" would force Israel to make suicidal concessions. Far from producing "peace in our time" territorial surrender will guarantee future bloodshed.

Shop Gedin You know the feeling. Fighting mall crowds and dodging mallwalkers just to buy the same thing every other mall is selling. No wonder they call it a mall. Maybe it's time you discovered One Pacific Place. To get to any of our 36 unique shops and exquisite restaurants, just park ri^l in front and walk in the door. If you like the fact that we aren't a mall, you'll love the fact that our stores aren't carbon copies of mall stores. In fact, you won't find our unk)ue collection of shops and restaurants dnywhere else in the Midwest. .So, if you are tired of getting mailed, shop at the one place that doesn't have one.

Kaape thoee Joioaa going better than the |aaaa old thing, day after d*y. Sometiinea it ian't a new buaineaa. A vary sacceaaful matore man of nqr acqnaintanoe retired frmn a thrivinfcwelHmown and raqiectad retail operation, for peraooal reaaona. He qnickfy got bvolved in many thinga, fron vohmteer projacta to education. He aeemed, with thelatter, to be folfillhig a UfiloBg wish (or perhapa hungti) for m<xe education than previously accompHahed. It waa clear to anyone who q>oke to him about the daiaea he waa taking that the aaeodation with the yoongirynaration anhaaeed the plaaaore and satiafaction ha tipai lamed. IMike OMMt of na, he qipeara to be a mponaihla dtiacB of retireoHit age, who has managed to w what he eat oat to do and has a certain amount ^ <paBtaatmant aa a reanlt
Another man, known to me through one of my sons, haa managed to dianga the oourae of Ua Hie oompletely. Elaatani bom and raiaad, Ue waa a aimpla childhood with tha raiiairad amount of adttcatfcin Ha davalopfd an ktanet in the electronic world and uhimataiy atarted a oompUcatad boaineea baaed on tha extanaive nae of computera. In a ralativaly abort time, hia company waa iiMTadlh^ aueeaaafnl—ao soeeeeaftd that (appanuti|y) an old dream began to aurfaoe. He waa, by thia time, in hie aariy fortiaa, with a family. Ncoathdaaa, he decided to aae if he could make something happen. He atodied tor the teating which would tell iriMthar or not he wouki make a good candidate for medical achooL You aee, becoming a doctor was hie dream. He qipUad to aeveral medical achoola, waa accepted, and aooB had aaparated himaelf from the worid of high finanoK He ia, today, a raaident in a hoqiital aeveral houra from hia home. His eailier suooeea nuikea it an easier time for him than for many like him, because he needn't wony about the economics of keeping hie family afloat But ha can't boy a reputation aa a good young doctor. That'a wiiat be mnat earn with hia ability. The point is, he decided to change coureee early enou|^ to be able to alter hia lifestyle drastkally bom the busineaa world to the medical community. There ara oountleaa storiee afanilar to this one. I know of another young man who dki auch an about face, but from one eeOing job to anothir. Hia meant leaving a fine job aa a aalaaman, which he held for probably 16 yeara, and w^iich afforded him and hia fandly a fafrly hixurious Ufeatyls. He left it to chaae Ua dreiim—the autonobila induatry. Aa far aa I know, he'a working much harder than ever before hot ia ^>parantly more contented than ever before. Theee eramplaa are of real people—I dte that only to underaoore the reality of such changea. Theee are, per-
hipa, the onee who one day wake up and aay "la that all there ia? Ia thia what I'm going to apend the raet of my Ufc doin^"-The ooaa who dackia to do aoBMthhig. But they probdklb^ rcpiaeent the onee who can afford euchgamolaa. Thoee who muat find a new way to make a living becanae aooBetUng diaaatrooa httipaiMd to the old wqr deeerve aome «ynpethy. It muat be the tougheat challenge in the worid to let a buaineaa built on human energy and Btrenuoua work go by the wiqrakla: to have to aaek a freah avenue, wondering if hick will be the pertner tUa time. I findlhe irtiole aobject faadnating. It nroat be a Uttle like gettbg "a new leaaa on life." A 6«ah startanother chance. And what a rich Btore of family hiatory auch a peraon providee. Can't yon juat hear thdm, aitting around the table after dinner, UbUtsing about the couaina or the auntiea; talking about how Benumfo got tired of the ehmattah trade and dadded to go to law achool? Enriching family atoriea must be the amaUeat reward, however. No doubt the peraon who actually does it—who says "that's it. I'm out of here. I'm history."-that's tha one who has gainad the most Nobody can aocuae him or her of standing still until they forgot what they were there fra-. Hardly. That must be who all tha ftdks mentkmed in this issue teD such kteresting stortea. Their Uvee are intareatiog, whether they've changed occiQMtiona or are retired and ddng great thinga for other people. That'a called being a voinateer. Maybe the moet rewarding occupation ol aO. The moral of the story is ahnple: keep the head busy. And keep the handa buay. You've heard that old saying "uae it or kioe it" Whatever it is you do, my friends, I send you my sfaicere wishes for a hiqnn^, healthy New Year.

The hopeful humanity elaejiopular opinipa is a two-edged aword. Like drugs or atomic aoergy, or akdiol there iain eveiy reality the potential for goodandevfl. Jews were required to drink on the Sabbath, on Purim and Paaaover and at a wedding und«- the chupah. They drank to praise the positive power of life. They drank to affirm, L'ChayimI They channeled reality toward a moral iwrpose. Thneby thtiy sought to make all creation holy. Precisely upoo those forces which had vile potential, Judaism impoaed a hiffii purpoee. Popular opinion is a fickle force. Its value depeoda on the recognition that liberty is not a ri^t to be unleashed or ungovemed. Liberty is not licensed. Liberty thrives when it odtivates personal responsibility. Liberty cherishes universal human dignity, renounces bigotry, exults human intelligence by human use of our national and hunian resources. Popular (pinion, channded to serve liberty, may yet usher in a new millennia of unforeseen good and blessed. The power of popular opinion means you aiul I hold history's destiny in our hands, hearts and minds. We are the pcqmlace. We are the new age. We are the hopeful humanity. Shanah Tova.

thou Shalt cast
By Shany Shnlewita B'Nai larael Synagogae CoudlBliiffa Reviving and renewing Jewiah tradition is an important tenet of the youngeat branch of Judaiam, Hwunafnirtinnism A wonderful tradition, often overlooked amid the demands of the High Holy Dtya, is the ceremony of Taahlich. Taahlich (from the Hebrew: "thou ahalt caat") ia a beautiful ceremony held near a aea or running stream pn the first day of Roah HaShaaah. usually late in the afternoon. The name "Taahlich" oonaa from tha prophet Midah (7:19) "Thou wflt caat aHthairafais into the depths oftha aea." BiU of challah and crumba from tha hoiklay maal provide tlia ains, Le., breadcrumbs. Ilia breadcrumba ars scattered into the stream, to be eaten by fish. The fish then carry them away. In rabbinic sources, the ceremony ia seen ss a tribute to the Creator, to Whose work of creation (which actually starts on Roah HaShanah) the fish were the first witneeses. We try to do TaahUch on the banks of a river or stream where living fish are found. But, if this is impoaaibie, it can be done f^ even near a well of water, as it waa done in JeruGathering together aa a conununity near a stream, to sing and bkm the aho-
Sheryl Oalewiti far, linka ua to our connection to the Creator of alL In tha direct addreaa of nature, we aanaa the worid aa one creation, fawztricably bound together. The envinMunent la a primary framework for our relationahip to G-d. To express concern for the environment is to safeguard our Jewish traditkm. A custom which is paK of the ceremony of TaahUch ia that of ahaking the pockets of one's dotning. This is popularly underatood as tnnaferring the sins to the fish. We also can understand cleaning out our pockets as a way to interact with our environment; to pick up litter, not add to it. Our Jewish tradition has two basic attitudes towards our relatkinahip with theenvinMunrnt. One is charactariied in the stoiy of Creation, in which people have complete jurisdiction over the world. In Genesis 1:28 "Male and female, Gd created them. And 0-d

bleaaed them; and G-d aakl to them: be fruitful and moltqily, and repleniah tiie earth, and subdue it; snd have domini<m over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air, and over eveiy living thfaig." People have jurisdUction over creation. The aecond attitude ia in Leviticus 25:28. "Tlie land is Mine, you are my tenanta." Here we are temporary inbaUtanta. The univerae belongs to G-d and we are caratakers. A ayntheaia of these two kleaa can be found k rabbinic commentary on Eccleaiastes 7:13 "In the hour when the Holy One Ml mi be the One, created the first human bains, Gd took Adam befdra aO tha treea of the garden of Eden, and said: See my worka, how fine and excelknt they arel Now all that I have created, for you have I created, liiink upon this, and don't comipt and deeolato my vorid; for if you comipt it, thars is no one to set it right after you." Jewish valuee recognize that we must protect the environment both for our own future existence and for the sake of the univarse as O-d's domain. Our rabbia auggsst that aa fiah nevsr close their «yes, the ceremony is symbolic of Od's syes, ever open. B'Nai Israel win be hoUing a TashUch Picnic on Monday, Sept. 9, at 6 p.m. We wouM kive to have you Joinua.
Thinking of the future By Rabbi Paul Draaia Both D 8yM«agae It begins when we are vety young and people aak "What do yon want to do when you grow 1^7" That's not a fair queation to aak most chiktaen, but it begins the prooees of making one think about the future. The process continuee for those in high ecHool. with aimilar questions, although most people expect answws which show more that the topic haa been addressed in some form. Eventually the diacuaaicm comes to a peak at college time, althoui^ the question changes slightly to, "what is your major?" or "what will you do after school?" By then, of course, most students hsve given serious thought to the queetion, even tf they have not made a decision. Today such decisions don't end the continuing questions. After college graduation, even after years out in the real worid, people sUll ask themselvee "what do you want to do?" Tliat question cmtinues to be asked more often now as, thank God, more and more of us continue in good health beyond the time of "retirement."
RabU Paul Draaen But, aa often as not, that queation is not folly addressed. A few years ago I received a boddet entitled Retirament BegfaM at 40. Although the puipoee of the information was to suggest a way to begin saving money for r^irement, its message is a good one fw thinking abmit what we wiU do dui^ ing those years as we spend the money we've put away. More fieople have given thought to providing for the golden years than have given thought to iriiat to do during those golden years. We save for special tripa, for expeditions we've always wanted to
take. We kxik into the per feet retirement community with snow-bird privUegee. But that's not r»«««fag for retirement, not tha kind we need to conaider seriously. We need to give ample thought to what we'll do between those tnpe and adventuraa. We eran need to consider what well do if we cannot take thoae trips. WhafU we do? We can join in activitiea throughout the Jewiah conununity. We can beemue regulars at daily services, enjoying the onnraderie that brings while hoping to assure a mfaiyan. We can work on volunteer projects from feeding the homeless to helping drive an AIDS patient to doctor or treatment. We can extend our hand to tutor a new American in English or reading to a child. We can begin activities which we can continue over the years, into retirement. There is so much we can do, so many areas we can try. There are two good reasons for making those kinds of plans: first, it will help give us a sense of accomplishmmt while making the worid better. Second, it will hel^ us reach retirement witlumt feeling * like aretread.
Developing wish lists By RabU Mark Uricowitz Beth Israel Synagogue Lottery mania regularly envelopes us as wehesi' of prizes in state lottories reaching into the tens of millions of dollars. A colleague recounted the time his state's lottery had gtme aky high and a member had promiaed to pay off the shul's mortgage if he won. To ensure the "gift" he was given an aliyah and waa aalud to promiae over the Sefsr Torah. He did. The bottom line: HedidnotwhL All of oa in one w«y or another dervelop wiah Usta during our lifetime. We can ^ recall stnne little item we wantad as a chiki •but couldn't have. And aa we paaa through life we can detail a king list d wishes which wont unfnt filled. Our dreama are a part of the human experience. These dreams may not even be realistic, but we don't stop dreaming. We also learn to accept that many of the dreama repiain just that, dreams. Two questions come to mind. One, how do we react to a realistic life long dreams which we under stand will not materialize? Do we become deepondent or depressed? Does snger envelop us? Do we withdraw? Do we say life has passed us by? Two, how to react to a promise made to us by others which we then hoped for, but went unfulfilled? Our goals and wante ware predicated on the actlona of others. Do our feelings approach
she chuckled, but not outwardly. Her reacticm was internalized. Her unfulfilled dreams had not transformed her into an angry or bitter person, nor into a depreaaed one. She was still able to amile and appredato her dream. Life may not have given her that cherished prize but her personality and char^ actar did not waver.
Rabbi Mark Uikowita thoae whoi we create our own wiab-Ust? The claasic case which fito the moU of the two quastkna is the story of our mstriaich, Sarah. G-d had promiaed hir a great natka wouU ariae; birt aha waa wall into bar titties and still she had not given birth. Tha gift of aothai^ hood had baan proodaad to h«r by the 8u|aauie Being. For that reaaoo akno bar dream had to be rsaHstk; but life was paaeing bar by, there waa no child. What did aha think? What did ahe feel? The Torah tells us, that when aha was told by Gd's nwssengers at the age of 90, that she would have a child, her reaction was diabdief and it manifested itself in her chuckling, at the verbalization of the whole idea. Sarah'a reaction was not one of anger, to dismiss the angelic messengers who brought the news, She didn't argue, nor did she rsmovo herself to another room to weep that life had paaatid her by. Instead, the Torah tells us,
This tmchanged Sarah was remembered, as our Torah reading for the fost day of Rosh Hashanah opana, "And G-d remembered Sarah, aa He had said." G-d remembered Sarah bar dreams. Hia promises. He saw that aha waa imchangad She dkb't actaaifUfehadpaaaedher by. She waa unfulfilled but ahe waa the aame peraon. She remembered Hia promiae and He ounpletsd it As we approach tha High Holy Day aeason we can all reflect on a lifetime of dreama. The three-year old m^y covet another BarUe ontfit or a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle; the teenage may fantasize about a date wlUch never haiqiened; the adult may think about the promotion that didn't come. How we react to promises and dreams wiiich did not materialize tells ua who we are. We may not get all tliat we want. But we need the strength of Sarah to always smile and remain the same. May we always have the strength to enjoy and appreciate life, and may the year 6762 be one of inner peace for us all
