Israel Bonds sets goal

NEW YORK (JTA)The State of Israel Bonds Organization has set a tl.5 billion goal for 1992 to help create jobs for new immigrants, its president and chief executive officer, Meir Rosenne, announced here. "While we are thrilled with, our $990 million achievement in 1991, we must surpass this record in 1992," Rosenne said, dtihg the urgent need to create jobs for tens of thousands of immigrants arriving from the former Soviet Union. If suooMsful, it would be the first time Israel Bonds

scaled the $1 billion mark. The Finance Ministry in Jerusalem recently announced its decision to allocate all of the 1992 Bonds proceeds to immigrant absorption., A large proportion of the newcomers are well edu-, cated and well trained in a variety of professions and vocations and possess numerous skills. But jobs have not kept pace with the influx. Israel absorbed 400,000 immigrants in the last two years and expects to take in another 600,000 by 1994. That calls for the crea-

tion of 600.000 jobs which will require an economic growth rate of 50 percent.

Campaign manager Gail Handleman, whq has served on Congressman Peter Hoagland's congressional staff in Washington and Omaha, has been named as his 1992 campaign manager; She also served as his deputy campaign manager in the 1990 election.

MADRID (JI'A)-Toledo; where Jewish culture flourished during the Golden Age in Spain, will once again be the center of Jewish events to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the expulsion of the Jews. "By My Spirit" hopes to bring thousands of Jews to Toledo in May for the commemoration, which will include a communal prayer and cultural programs with exhibitions, films and guided tours. l^xcept for the Golden Threads travelling exhibit organized by the Smithsonian Institute, "By My Spirit" is the only major program for local and overseas Jews that is actually going ahead under the overall rubric of Sepharad '92. The organizers, Michelle Bokobza, David Silber and Richard Katz, say about 2,600 people will make the trip—which ends up in Jerusalem on the 44th anniversary of IsTAal's independence—and another 2,000 people are expected to come to the ceremonies from all over Spain. The project began three years ago as a labor of love. The partners, inexperienced in fundraising, discovered that promises are easily made but hard lo keep. Tunis-born Bokobza, who led the international. branch of the Israeli AKIM fpr handicapped children, had to sell her apartment in Tel Aviv, Katz suspended his law practice (n New Orleans for two years. Silber quit his job as deputy director of Beit Hatefutsot.

Names of Holocaust victims to be read worldwide By Steve Danon, co-chairman Yom HaShoah planning committee A week of Holocaust memorial activities will begin in Omaha on April 26, at noon, in the Jewish Community Center. B'fiai B'rith International has coordinated the program, "Unto Every Person There Is A Name." Omaha's commemorative will take place simultaneously with major cities throughout the world. B'nai B'rith has provided names of Holocaust victims to be read aloud, perpetuating the memory of the those who perished as individuals, rather than as numerical statistics. Each victim's name will be accompanied by the date of birth and death, if available. Governor Ben Nelson, U.S. Senators Bob Kerrey and Jim Exon, Congressman Peter Hoagland, Mayor P.J. Morgan, and other commuaity leaders have been invited to participate. Artists Deborah Pappenheimer and Lisa Lipkin will be in Omaha to provide a variety of activities throughout the community and at local synagogues. Ms. Lipkin, a storyteller and second-generation Holocaust survivor, will present "What Mother Never Told Me—Memories By a Child of a Holocaust Survivor," at the Friday evening Shabbat service at Temple Israel on April 24. This one-womfm show brings to life the struggle faced by many children raised by Holocaust survivors. Ms. Lipkin inte-

grates collected stories with oral tradition, bringing to the forefront the "second generation" phenomenon in a unique and powerful way, stated Mr. Danon. She will conduct presentations to Temple Israel religious school youth throughout the following week. On April 27, she will offer presentations to UTTO classes, and on April 29 to the Friedel Jewish Academy. Ms. Lipkin's programs in Omdia will end with a Yom HaShoah youth memorial service on April 29, which will take place in the chapel at Temple Israel at the same time as the community observance of Yom HaShoah in Temple Israel's main sanctuary. Ms. Pappenheimer, a painter, will also partici-' pate in the concluding service. Her program, "Out of the Fire—Images of the Holocaust," depicts images, feelings and dreams which were part of her mother's experiences in Nazi Germany, said Mr. Danon. She will display and discuss her work, the work of other contemporary artists whose subject is the Holocaust, as well as artists who were in concentration camps during the war. Funding for community programs is being provided by Temple Israel, th^ Bureau of Jewish Education, the Jewish Cultural Arts Council, United Talmud Torah of Omaha, Friedel Jewish Academy, the Frohm Foundation, and the Esther K..

Parashat Tozria—Porashat HaHodesh Where Judaism excels—and fails This is an unusual Sabbath, inasmuch as we read today from three ScroUs of Torah. One is for the Sidrah in the annual cycle, Parashat Tazria. One is for this special Sabbath that occurs sometimes just before the beginning of the month of Nisan, or, sometimes—like now—on the very first day of Nisan. The third scroll is for the reading for Rosh Hodeah, the first of Nisan. ActuaUy, one ScroU would be sufficient, if we wanted to take the time to roll the Scroll from I^eviticus back to Exodus and then forward to Numbers! Using three ScroUs makes that unnecessary. The reading from Exodus, for Shabbat HaHodesh, begins, "This month shaU mark for you the beginning of the months." This is what leads us, although Rosh haShanah is in the faU, to count our months as beginning in the spring. The point I hinted at in the title to this piece derives from a midrashic comment on the phrase, "This month shall mark for you ..." The Midrash seizes on the word "lakhem," "for you," to serve as the basis of a parable. A king, the Midrash says, was fabulously wealthy. He guarded his wealth carefully for his little'son, the heir to the throne. But when the son had grown to maturity, the king turned everything over to him. (Someone ought to read this Midrash to Queen Elizabeth!) , Thus the times of the year were in God's hands, the Midrash proceeds, untU Israel grew to maturity. The beginning of the Exodus and the first Passover marked Israel's coming of age. Thus the months—and the times of the festivals and everything else-were turned over to Israel. Without space for adequate analysis of the theme, (lermit me just to say that Judaism, from quite early times,. insisted that its expansion, its interpretation, its ideology and thought, and its ritual expression must be in control of its people. One quaUfication: in control of its knowledgeable peo>. pie. Hence the emphasis on learning, the insistence on study, study from childhood all through life. This is where Judaism exceUed. It insisted on its tradition of learning and scholarship. And this is where American Judaism faUs. In communities lUce ours we have a kind of "universal" Jewish education for kids. It has often been said that Jewish education is like the Platte River of Nebraska, two miles wide, two hundred mUes long, and two inches deep. The faUure'.' Seu the number and the percentage of adult Jews who strive for any Jewish learning. See the number of Jews in our College of Jewish Learning. If American Judaism is weak and failing, this is the principal source!

A kashrut quarrel delays marriages By David Landau JERUSALEM, March 15. (JTA)-The Ethiopian community in Israel is facing a "marital bottleneck" because the only rabbi prepfu-ed to conduct marriages between them is embroiled in a kashrut controversy in his city and has ceased performing marriages for the past two months. Rabbi David Chelouche, Sephardic chief rabbi of Netanya, says the seaside resort is being infiltrated by large quantities of nonkosher meat from nearby Arab villages, and he has his hands full battling this development. "All my appeals" to Israel's Chi^f Rabbinate "have gone unheeded," he told the Israeli daily Davar.

His suspension of Ethiopian marriage rites is apparently intended as iway of bringing pressure to bear on the Chief Rabbinate to come to his aid over the kashrut problem, in which Chelouche is squared off against the chairman of the Religious Council in Netanya.

During an unprecedented two-day meeting with' scientists and senators on Capitol Hill, the leadersrepresenting all four religious denominations and the major secular organizations—agreed that the Jewish community needs to be awaduned to the dangers threatening the environment. "You don't have to be Jewish to be an environmentalist, but it ia certainly consistent with Jewish tradition," said Sen. Joaeph Lieberman (DCoan.).

Did you read the story in the news the other day about finding "absolute proof" of where Amelia Earhart crashed? I read it with more than a little interest, mostly because I can remember my fascination with the'whole business at the time it happened. True, that was 9 very long time ago and I was a youngster (a VERY YOUNG youngster), but the lady in question was kind of a herojae to me. For one thing, there weren't very many women flying aroimd in airplanes back then. As I recall, women weren't in the news for doing the kind of stuff they do today, in this more enlightened time. Anyway, the iUght was fascinating, but the crash! Well, that was one of the things that helped me learn the value of reading something in addition to the comics in the daily paper. So what's the point, reading the newspaper or finding Amelia's remains? Maybe a little of both, actually. 1 did wonder, however, at the fuss made over something that happened more than 50 years ago. So if they really turned up proof of WHERE she crashed, what then? What would change? In other words, what difference would it make? I guess 1 felt the same way when some historian with nothing interesting to do decided the remains of Zachary . Taylor should be exhumed and tests made to determine whether he was poisoned or died "legally." As it happened, the decision was NO POISON. But what if it HAD been? Would somebody decide research was important to discover the guilty party? I don't mean to be flip about the possible murder of an American President, but my God, what's the point? The one responsible couldn't be punished—he or she or they would be long dead. And let's face it, kids, the costs of such a search would be astronomical; and who doesn't underst^d about wasting vast sums in these precarious economic times? Maybe the question in my mind is this: Isn't there enough going on in our present time to occupy us? Why do people have to go poking around in the lives of folks who died ages ago? 1 remember thinking the same thing when some author/historian decided to dig into the very private life of FDR. Why should we waste energy on such stuff, and why should family members still around have to suffer embarrassment? Nobody believes more strongly in freedom of speech, but I think there should also be some responsibility connected to digging up facts about late public figures. As for Amelia ... well, I can only say this. If 1 wore size nine shoes, I doubt I'd want the fact noted in newspapers printed all over the world! But who knows ... maybe she wouldn't have cared.

While they welcome the apparent progress in the official investigation of the blast, they caution that it is too early to draw conclusions about the identity and motives of the perpetrators. There were conflicting reports over the weekend about the number of arrests made and the nationalities of the suspects.

Raises issue NEW YORK-Rabbi Alexander M. Schindler, president of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, called on President Bush this week to confirm or deny news reports that the White House is lobbying European countries to deny loan guarantees to Israel. Citing stories in the Israeli daily Ma'ariv and in New York Newsday that the United States has been working to dissuade these countries from granting credit guarantees to Israel, Rabbi Schincller asked for clarification.

Launches programs NEW YORK (JTAIThe United Synagogue of Coiiservative Judaism has launched two new projects aimed at outreach within the Jewish community. The organization has established a program to aid communities without rabbis, and has publish^ materials addressing the challenge of intermarriage. Under the newly formed Shachen Tov Project, affiliated United Synagogue congregations are being sensitized and encouraged to recognize their responsibilities as a "shachen tov," (good neighbor) to small or isolated congregations in their region, especially where there are no clergy. On a separate note, the Conservative movement has published a collection of materials designed to help synagogues, families and individuals cope with the challenge of intermarriage. Among the 'materials currently being prepared is a program, g^uide designed to help synagogues confront the issue, outlining the jnechanics of running intermarriage-prevention programs for teens and parents and providing questions for discussion.

Filing claims NEW YORK (JTAILarge-scale Jewish emigration from the former Soviet Union has generated a new wave of dainos from victims of Nazi persecution, the Cbnference oh Jewish Material Claims Against Germany reported. Dr. Israel Miller, president of the Claims Conference, announced that more than 90,000 applicants in 29 countries had received a one-time grant from the Conference Hardship Fund as of Dec. 31, 1991. The Hardship Fund was established with monies provided by the German government to make onetime payments to claiinants unable to file before this 1965 reparations deadline because they lived behind the Iron Curtain. Since its inception, the Claims Conference has disbursed over 450 million deutschmarks, or about 1280 million. According to Miller, "60 percent of all beneficiaries of the Hardship Fund reside in Israel." Saul Kagan, executive director of the Claims Conference, explained that "the recent massive emigration from the former Soviet Union genarat«d a heavy influx of new applications from Nazi victima among the emigrants."

NEW YORK (JTA)Seventy years ago, Judith. Kaplan Eisenstein was the first woman ever to be called to the Torah in the ceremony signifying her entrance into adulthood. To commemorate this historic Bat Mitzvah, Eisenstein again was called to the Torah last month. Because the biblical lifespan is 70 years, when a person reaches the age of 82, it is considered appropriate to hold a second ceremony to commemorate the coming of age. Eisenstein is the eldest daughter of Rabbi Mordecai Kaplan, who founded the Reconstructionist Movement of Judaism in 1920. Eisenstein is proud to be the first Bat Mitzvah, but

acknowledged that hers was "not fully equal to the male counterpart." - At her Bat Mitzvah 70 years ago, the Torah was read by men, and afterward she was allowed to stand below the platform "at a very respectable distance from the scroll of the Torah" and recite from her own copy of the Five Books ot Moses. "It all passed very peacefully," she recalled. "No thunder sounded. No lightning struck." At the recent ceremony, Eisenstein—a noted musicologist, composer and author—was honored by prominent Jewish feminists, including Betty Friedan, Letty Cottin Pogrebin, Blu Greenberg and Rabbi Rachel Cowan.
