The Nazis "didn't even hate us because you hate hate human beings. We weren't human beings in their eyes." He did feel hatred from anti-Semites in the camp: "That's something we don't talk about because we are embarrassed, because it's so nice to think there was a community of victims. There wasn't." While he did not feel hate for the Nazis, young Wiesel did feel anger toward the Allies, who did not act in time, he says, to save the doomed occupants of the death camps. "I am angry at Churchill and Roosevelt because they were human beings." Wiesel also speaks openly and movingly of the death of his father at Auschwitz. "One night I heard him call me and that morning he died. 1 felt he wanted to tell me something, but he couldn't. And even today I try to figure out what was his testament, what did he want to tell me." Of contemporary worid affairs, Wiesel says that "hate is a common threat .. Eastern Europe is gaining freedom. The American government and the Russian government are now almost allies... What jeopardizes these achievements is hate."

Temple Sisterhood holds fashion event

More than 200 attended the "Generations of Pun Through Fashion" event heated by Temple Israel's Siaterhood recently. Cantor Karen WebberOilat and Rabbi Aryeh Azriej performed ahow tunes, including "Fernando's Hideaway" and "Everythings Coming Up Roses." The fashion show was conunentated by Janey Dann, who honored 17 Omaha Jewish-owned clothiers, and 67 models from various Temple families. The models included grandmas, grandpas, moms, dads and children. According to Chris Bjumkin, chairman, "This was truly a family affair. Not only were the models multi-generational, but so were the volunteers who worked the event." Members from the Blumkin family included Susie Blumkin, who coor-

dinated the set-up and , refreshments, and Jessica, Ryan, Becca, and Matt \Hrho sold door prize tickets. Irvin and Ryan Bluinkin woe also modeb in the show. Penny Endehnan publicized and promoted the event and her husband, Randy, and daughter, Janoie, were models. Mary Kay Davis solicited door prizes from area stores, while husband, Henry, and baby-daughter, Lauren, modeled. Grandpa Petmie Davis donated wine from his collection for door prizes. Janey Dann's family was also involved. Husband Jerry, and daughter Robin helped coordinate "behind the scenes." Proceeds will be used to fund projects supported by the Temple Israel Sisterhood.

Envoy hurt By Gil Sedan JERUSALEM (JTA)An Israeli woman was killed and an American diplomat badly injured Monday in a head-on collision at the western entrance to Jerusalem. The American, Roger Harrison, who is U.S. ambassador to Jordan, was taken to Hadassah-Hebrew University Hospital in Ein Kerem, where he un-

derwent surgery, His driver and another passenger in the diplomatic car suffered minor injuries. Three passengers in the woman's car were also slightly hurt. The woman was initially identified in reports as a 39-year- old new inunigrant who recently got her driver's license and was on her first trip to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv.

Mistai(e NEW YORK (JTA)President Bush's decision to link guarantees for $10 billion in immigrant resettlement loans for Israel with the Middle East peace process was a decision that may have been made at the cost of longterm goals in the region, Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton said here. Clinton, lA Denu)CTatic presideqtial contender, characterized the president's decision to defer . consideration of the Israeli request until January as a mistake. American presidents should be "very careful" when weighing the cost of short-term goals against the results they hope to achieve in the long run, he said. In this instance, Clinton said, the long-term goal of achieving peace in the Middle East may have been undermined. In his remarks to an audience of the New York Metropolitan Region of the American Jewish Congress, Clinton was critical of the president's implication that Israel shodd be thankful for the assistance of U.S. troops during the war in the Persian Gulf. Rather, the governor said, the Americans and the United Nations should be grateful for Israel's restraint. "If Israel had been unleashed, there would have been no Saddam Hussein," he said. -

Children's issues topic of NCJW program The National Council of Jewish Women public affairs division is sponsoring a program with featured speaker Kathy Bigsby Moore, executive director of Voices for Children, on Nov. 21, 7:30 p.m., at the Jewish Community Colter. "Children are our most valuable resource. If we invest poorly in that resource, the return will be commensiu-ate with the investment. If we don't rescue our children from poverty, child abuse and the effects of poor health services, we may have a future society of dysfunctional adults," according to Ma. Moore. Voices for Children in Nebraska is a statewide advocacy organization, which operates indepen-

dent of government and service providing agencies. "Because troubled children cannot speak for themselves, they need advocates," said Carol Bloch, NCJW Slate PubUc Affairs chairman. "Children need a voic6 in the legislative chambers, the courtroom, the offices of our state agencies, and in the media. Kathy will bring us up-to-date on some of the issues involving children, and demonstrate to us how we can facilitate positive changes." For reservations call Rhonda Saferstein, 5537533.

The Federation and the community

A reminder Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir delivered an eloquent opening statement at the peace conference in Madrid and I want to bring a portion of these remarks to you as sort of a reminder—as if we Jews needed a reminder. "... Jews have been persecuted throughout the ages in almost every continent. Some countries barely tolerated us, others oppressed, tortured, slaughtered and exiled us. "This century saw the Nazi regime set out to exterminate us. The Shoa'ah, the Holocaust, the catastrophic genocide of unprecedented proportions which destroyed a third of our people, became possible because no one defended us. Being homeless, we were also defenseless. But it was not the Holocaust which made the world community recognize our rightful claim to the land of Israel. "In fact, the rebirth of the state of Israel so soon after the Holocaust has made the world forget that our claim is immemorial. We are the only people who have hved in the land of Israel without interruption for nearly 4,000 years; we are the only people, except for a short Crusader Kingdom, who have had an independent sovereignty in this land; we are the only people for whom Jerusalem has been a capital; we are the only people whojse sacred places are only in the land of Israel. ' "No nation has expressed its bond with its land with as much intensity and consistency as we have. For millennia our people repeated at every occasion the cry of the psalmist: If I forget thee, Jerusalem, may my right hand lost its cunning.' For millennia we have encouraged each other with the greeting, 'next year in Jerusalem.' For milleniua our prayers, literature and folklore have expressed powerful longing to return to our land. Only Eretz-Yisrael, the land of Israel, is our true homeland. Any other country, no matter how hospitable, is still a diaspora, a temporary station on the way home. "To others, it was not an attractive land. No one wanted it. Mark Twain described it only a hundred years go as 'a desolate country, which sits in sackcloth and ashes, a silent mournful expanse, which not even imagination can grace with the pomp of life..." . Space doesn't permit the printing of the entire statement, but let me just add that Israel's position is so morally correct, so indisputable, that at the outset— the phrase. Land for peace—is repugnant. , In her long quest for peace, Israel deserves, our unqualified support. She has enough enemies. Israel needs our friendship.

By Howard Bloom Federation executive director It would be presumptuous of me to argue that the Federation and the Jewish community are one and the same. On the other hand, our Federation does encompass the entire Jewish community, involving Jews in meeting Jewish communal needs. To participate in the Federation, one is not required to be either Orthodox, Conservative, Reform or Reconstructionist. The Federation embraces Jews who are both affiliated and unaffiliated. It is the only organization within the Jewish population whose focus is to maintain and preserve the agencies that deliver Jewish programs and services to the widest possible population. Even those people who are not direct recipients of its services are made more secure by virtue of the Federation's strength. It is our insurance policy. Sometimes, there are duplications of programs with other organizations, but for the most part, it is the Federation, through raising and allocating dollars in an equitable manner, that is charged with the responsibil-

ity of delivering services not just to those who are less fortunate, but to the entire commuftity. Services from preschool and day care to family therapy, family life education, Meals-on-Wheels and skilled nursing home care are all delivered in a sensitive and caring Jewish environment. . The Federation is a representation of the community's will to preserve itself and to provide for its continuity. It is not just one of many organizations, each with its oifim turf. We in Omaha are fortunate to have a small, close community, where we are not removed from one another either socially or psychologically. This is a rooted community that is involved in the decision-making process of the Federation. The synagogues are represented by their rabbis and members of the Federation Board. Also, members of other Jewish women's and men's organizations are represented on the board and committees of the Federation and its agencies. The agencies themselves are an inseparable part of the Federation, and the Federation represents the organized Jewish community.

Righteous gentile seelcs to unite young people By Morris Maline A young Polish girl who wanted to be a nurse before World War II, today, is trying to cure the world with a message of kindness and gooii will. Irene Opdyke, designated by Yad Vashem as a "Righteous Gentile", spoke in Omaha this week in connection with the Anne Frank program sponsored by the Anti-Defamation League. Appearing before organizations, Creighton University and a number of Jewish student groups, Mrs. Opdyke, now the proud grandmother of two grandsons, related the story of her life. Her words described the screaming of children, her brutalization by Russian soldiers, and the unforgettable picture of Jews being buried alive, tortured, shot, and rounded up for transport to concentration camps. "God, where are you, I cried," waaher reaction when she saw a woman shot while trying to save her baby, and this was part of the story. She told a combined group of BBYO and UTTO High School students Tuesday night that a set of "miracles" put her in a servant's position at the villa of a Germim major. While serving his meals, she was privy to dinner conversations involving the Gestapo, and. with this info^ mation she was able to warn Jews. The villa, she said, made it possible for her to hide 12 Jews in the cellar and a connected gazebo, and these Jews collaborated with her to warn hundreds of Jews working nearby as slave laborers. "The Jews will be no more... Herr Major, don't count on the Jews coming to work tomorrow," were some of the comments, heard and passed on.

. Mrs. Opdyke described the apprehension experienced by the group of Jews when one of the women became pregnant. The woman offered to abort the fetus to protect the group, but Mrs. Opdyke encouraged her to have the child. "I now have been privileged to see this infant as a man, and I have been to the bar mitzvah of his son," she said. She told of one experience when the townspeople were summoned to the square to see what happens to people who help Jews. "Even with your eyes closed you can see what happens to those who help Jews," she explained. Mrs. Opdyke said that one of her most terrifying experiences occurred when the major discovered the Jews hiding in his villa. Her physical submission to him was the price she paid to help the Jews escape. She said that after the war she was summoned to Israel where she was honored as a "Righteous Gentile," and that Jewish people have been instrumental in helping her regain her life. She pointed out that her husband, who is seriously ill, is biaing cared for in a Jewish home for the elderly without charge, leaving her free to continue her mission of public speaking. Mrs. Opdyke said her husband, a member of the Hotary Gub, encouraged her to speak before hia friends and this is how she got started. - "I was highly motivated to tell my story w^en I read and heard that people were denying the Holocaust ever happened. ' "I was there. I was a witness.".

NEW YORK (JTA)Biblical archaeology scholars have welcomed the Israel Antiquities Authority's decision to permit researchers to view copies of the Dead Sea Scrolls without receiving permission from the tightknit editorial team that has exclusive control over the translation and publication of .the ancient manuscripts. But some scholars are complaining that the new policy still falls short of full disclosure. In announcing that scholars would now be given access to photographs of the manuscripts, Professor Emanuel Tov, .editor in chief of the official publication project, said the Antiquities Authority would require researchers to pledge not to publish the texts they view. This will not, however, preclude quoting "limited portions" of the documents, he said.

Parashat Toledot Anti-Semitism and the New Testament A recent newspaper article spoke of the "Open Window" the American Bible Society now finds in eastern Europe, where the demise of communism makes possible the distribution of Bibles, distribution without hindrance. The president of the Society pointed out problems, coordination, funds, etc. As a Jew, I find another problem. Much has changed in Russia, the Ukraine, the BaL: tics and other countries. But unchanging, and persever ing like a plague, is the traditional anti-Semitism in those countries. The recent incident with Cardinal Glemp of Poland is an example of the mindless, callous, wretched, peasant anti-Semitism in the highest places. Need I say that the presence of this plague had, among other causes, the approval, indeed the instigation, of centuries of Christian teaching. It was false teaching, slanderous teaching about Jews. Lamentable, its origin was in t;he New Testament itself. That is why I find a problem of considerable moment in the "Open Windo*." That problem is apparent in the Bible Society's desire to start with Mark and go on directly to John. John is the most anti-Semitic of the four Gospels, over the centuries the happy hunting ground of anti-Semites, casual and professional, religious and secular. Now it is extremely promising that in the higher echelons of Christianity, both Catholic and Protestant, these anti-Semitic passages are more or less repudiated, or, at the least, explained. They come bom the end of the first century, when emotions ran high in the controversies between the rising Christian church and the struggling Pharisaic (soon-to-be rabbinic) Judaism. In better Christian circles (should I say in genuine Christian circles) these Christian scriptures are always explained. But the American Bible Society laments that there are no proper commentaries for distribution in eastern Europe. There is the rub. So I would urge the American (and world) Bible Societies to do the world a favor—and undo the harm of these Christian Scriptures before distributing them. They mi^t well start with our Haftarah. Malachi, the last of the prophets, sees that even heathen worship is really worship of the Lord (Malachi 1.11). Malachi cannot, therefore, fault it. Iliis idea, much developed in other Biblical passages and particularly among the rabbis of later centuries, springs from the core of Jewish universalism. You don't have to worship as I do to be accq)table to the Lord and to mankind. God is concerned with you evm though you don't believe what I bdieve. Wouldn't that be good to teach the unchurched of eastern Europe, as a necessary preparation for the distribution of Christian Scriptures?

the Passover seder, the Sabbath and the Havdalah service, adapted to pertain to the specific issues of infertility. For example, the rituals of the Passover seder, symbolizing freedom, took on new meaning as freedom from the pain of infertility and an embrace of the future. The Hiivdalah service, with the spice box and candle symbolizing the end of the Sabbath and the beginning of a Qew week, translated into the end of intrusive medical procedures, and looking ahead to the sweetness of life unburdened by regimented lovemaking. The theme throughout the Baron's presentation was to recognize and appreciate what we have in life rather than focus on what is missing. Jewish Family Service will be purchasing the videotape of the Baron's original ceremony and will to share it with those who are interested.

When you're always on the look-out for a subject to talk about (or, as in this case, write about) it isn't a surprise that the weather often comes up. As I write these words, the first lousy weather of the season is making an appearance. It's been sleeting and raining and free^g (to make certain it's plenty slick, no doubt) and now I think it's just plain snowing. To quote that old Chinese philosopher "feh." I could have done without this for at least another monthi But, on the other hand, there are advantages. Since I didn't have anything pressing on my calendar, I decided to take the day off and just stay at home. I figured I could catch up on all the stuff I've put off lately. I thought I'd bake some muffins and some cookies, as I promised my little granddaughter who'll be here soon. I thought I'd see if I had yeast and maybe do a loaf of bread. I knew I had desk work but figured I'd concentrate on the kitchen instead. Well, you remember what they said about the best-laid plans—and I might add, my plans were shot when I discovered the kitchen sink was choking and gagging and refusing to swaUow anything. Th^Man (the one who was supposed to fix it) arrived about one in the afternoon and kitzled it till I thought it would laugh, then announced he had to go get a snake. In the meantime, my friend (and neighbor) had a disposal which died unexpectedly—the same man was supposed to install a new unit in her sink when he finished mine. Ok—got the picture? It's now four o'clock in the afternoon and one kitchen is finally back in working order—hers. Mine is in the process of getting healed up. The funny part is she was making dinner for the four of us tonight, coincidentally. I gave up my baking plans along time ago and have been at my desk. I don't know what she's been doing but she just called to say dinner might be a little late! Not really. She cooked hours before but enjoyed giggling and telling me to expect to eat about 10 tonight. She did, however, promise a little something to relax with before dinner.

I have, however, taken my day off; the day one of my young friends thinks of as "for mental health."' Hahl Fat chance. But what the heck. Pretty soon I can atnih up the dirt trom my kitchen floor and tell the nice man goodbye and thanks.

So here we are, my kitchen upside down, schmootzik from one end to the other (the cleaning lady was here yesterday), there has been no baking done and the only thing I've accomplished is an article 1 promised to do. And it's still doing all that other junk outside. It's cold, slippery, wet and ^erally nasty.

Accuses Prodigy

Women's symposium speaker to 'demystify' nvestment rislcs By Jill Koslina' Beimont Foundation pnbUc relations director Risk-taking can be exdtiqg for some, terrifying for others—especially when it comes to investing money. Measuring risk tolerance and creating a personal investment plan based on individual needs will be the focus of "The Investment Adventure: I^ow Daring Can You Afford to Be?", a small-group discussion to be held during an upcoming womens life-planning symposium on Nov. 18. The symposium, open to all women in the Jewish community, is entitled, "The Plan of a Lifetime: Investments in Your Own Weil-Being," anji b being sponsored by The Foundation of the,Jewish Federation of Omaha and FirsTier Bank. The program will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 1:45 p.m. at the Highland Country Club, 12627 Pacific Street. Leading the "Investment Adventure" session will be chartered financial analyst Robert M. Jergo^ic of Cambridge Advisors, Inc. "The real key, to defining an investment plan tailored to your own individual needs and desires is to know yoorself," Mr. Jergovic said. "The goal of my presentation is to provide each attendee with a specific stq> by step plan of action to develop her own po^nal

Robert Jergovic investment strategy." Mr. Jefigovic said three areas he mh focus on are: determining each person's tolerance tor risk as an investor; ways to diversify financial assets safely and effectively! and identifying which investments will most effectively assist investors ii meeting their objectives! "Investing by and for the individual investor is a challenginj^ process," Mr. Jergovic libid. "The characteristics! circumstances and opportunities that confront tlie individual investor ar^ more diverse and comply than for any other dasti of investors I can think Of. Each individual is uniqua" He addecl. "Investments have changed dramatically in th<) last 20 years. There ar^ now more choices aid information than ever,. This increasingly complex range of in-

vestment choices has effectively paralyzed many people into inaction and caused many others to make unfortunate and costly mistakes. Along with the ups and downs of the economy, many scandals, schemes and frauds have dominated the front pages. It's no wonder that so nlany people are confused and skeptical." Mr. Jergovic's presentation will include sets of questions for the participants which will determine their personal risk tolerance and"what types of common stock investments may be appropriate for them; he will also ask them to rank the importance of seven different investment objectives to help determine if and where their assets should be invested. "These issues are important, Mr. Jergovic noted. You really have to have certain level of knowledge for your own defense, to be able to'make decisions in your own best interest." Advance registration fee for the women's symposium is $12.50; S15 at the door (cost includes lunch). Reservations are needed by Nov. 8 and may be made by sending a check, made payable to the Jewish Federation of Omaha, to Jerold I. Rosen, Endowment Director, 333 South 132nd Street, Omaha, NE, 68154. PLANNING BEGINS NEW YORK (JTA)The American Jewish community has begun intensive planning for the 25th anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem. The year-long commemoration, which begins J^. 1,1992, will include a vast array of special programs, cultural and entertainment events, artistic and technological exhibitions, fairs, contests and other celebrations in Jerusalem.

By Debra Nnaabaum Cohen NEW YORK (JTA)The Anti-Defamation League has accused Prodigy, the on-line computer services giant, of allowing subscribers to post virulently anti-Semitic messages on its electronic buUetin boards while at the same time refusing to allow other subscribers to post responses. But Prodigy attests that ADL is basing its claims on "small snippets of a legitimate political debate takoi out of context." "Because they were taken out of context, their import was grossly exaggerated," said Steven Hein, communications program manager at Prodigy, which is owned jointly by IBM and Sears, Roebuck and Co. "We absolutely reject any implication that Prodigy sup^rts or condones anti-Semitism," he added. Examples of what Jeffrey Sinensky, director of the civil Rights division of ADL, called "real gutterlevel anti-Semitism" include the following messages: "Most of the exterminationist survivors' tales have long been demolished as fantasy and exaggeration." "The Holocaust itself is really an edifice, a monument, so to speak, to the naive gullibiUty of the world in which even the most outrageous survivors' tales and the falsest testimonies are totally believed without the slightest doubt."

IVIamaloshen plans sharing of memory Mamaioshen has invited the Omaha Jewish community to its meeting entitled "24th Street Revisited" on Nov. 17 in the JCC auditorium at 2 p.m. This program is co-chaired by Morris Ruderman and Morey Landman. Mr. Ruderman said, "This meeting will be entirely in English, you don't have to speak Yiddish to share your memories of 50 years or more. We invite everyone who lived in the Jewish area from Lake to Cuming and even further out that this so-called Jewish boundary." Mr. Landman added, "Come and share your memories and experiences with us. If you are fortunate to have pictures or newspaper clippings, please bring them." A reception will follow and reservations are not necessary. Tliere will be no admission charge.

Moslem-Jewish dialogue By Debn NuMbaum Cohen BALTIMORE (JTA)For American Jews, interreligious relations have long been conducted primarily with Catholics, less often • with mainstream Protestants and Evangelicals, and only occasion-

ally with Buddhists, Hindus and Bahal. ' > -In fact, out^iiie Qf the political arena, there has not been much of a relationship in modem times between Jews and Moslems. But that may be changing.

At the Union of American Hebrew Congregations' biennial convention, held here Oct. 31 through Nov. 4, a Reform Jewish' leader and a Moslem leader announced the beginning of a new interreligious effort between the two faiths, already being

termed "the new frontier" by the Reform movement. "We must remove the political agenda whi^h stands as a rpadblock on the path of reopening a riflationship with our Moslem brothers and sisters," said Rabbi Gary BrettonGranatoor.
