Rabbi Isaac Nadoff buried in Jerusalem Rabbi Isaac Nadoff, rabbi emeritus of Beth Israel Synagogue, who died April 16 of cardiac arrest at Clarkson Hospital, has been buried in Jerusalem. He was 69. In addition to his wife, Jeanette, he is survived by son, Rabbi David Nadoff of Chicago; daughters, Julie Amrani, who lives in Israel, and Sharon Mizrahi, of Cleveland Heights, Ohio; and 19 grandchildren. A spokesman for Beth Israel said a local memorial service may be scheduled after the customary 30-day mourning period. Rabbi Nadoff was rabbi, of Beth Israel for 25 years. He assumed the pulpit in 1965 after serving as director of Community Relations at the Hebrew Theological College in Chicago. He also had held pulpits in Springfield, 111., and in Des Moines. In Iowa, he had served on the executive conunittae of the Rabbinical Coun dl of America; the Mayor's and Governor's Commission on Human Rights and as vice president of the Iowa Board of Rabbis, In 1983, the Nadoffs were honored by the con^gation on their 18th year in Omaha and their 35th wedding annivers^. Three years later during one of his frequent trips to Israel, he was admitted to Hadaaaah Hospital in Jeruulem for treatment.of a blocked artery. A backache in thespring ' 1989 was diagnosed as Uple loyeloma, a form of Ixme cancer, prompting him to step down as Congregational Rabbi.

Rabbi Isaac Nadoff In 1989, Rabbi Nadoff was selected for the Rabbinic Award of the Jewish Federation of Omaha and was so recognized at the 68th General Assembly in Cincinnati. He was cited for his many years of service tothe Omaha Jewish community, his dedication to all phases of Jewish life, his participation in all types of educational programs for children, and adults, and his activity as Rav Hamachsbir of the Vaad Hakashrut of Omaha. He served also as a director of the Jewish Federation of Omaha and on many committees promoting education and cultural activities for the conununity. Rabbi Nadoff also was a regular contributor , of holiday columns to the Jewish Presa. In June, 1990, forfn^' Israeli Ambassador Moshe Arad joined 700 Conununity members at a tribute dinner in honor of the Nadoffs at Peony Park and deacribed Rabbi Nadoff «a a dedicated Judaic teacher (Continued on Page 10)

Mary Fellman attends funeral in Israel Editor's Note: Mary Fellman, who learned of Rabbi Isaac Nadoffs death while in Israel, telephoned the Jewiab Ptesa Monday with her personal acoiunt of the funeral. Her story is as foUows: JERUSALEM-The sad news of the sudden death of Rabbi Isaac Nadoff reached me in Jerusalem about as soon as many in Omaha had heard. A telephone call from Je{m Duitch to her children in Jerusalem that morning and via them to me stunned me and I immediately sought his daughter Julie's phone number to obtain details of the funeral. In my wildest dreams, it never would have occurred to me that I would become the only member of the Oihaha Jewish community to have the privilege of paying honor to this man With whom I have worked so closely, a man whom 1 have admired and considered a close friend for so many years. On Friday at 3;45 p.m., accompanied by nty nephew. Dr. Joel Allen, I stood on the fomer of, Bar Alon street in front of the Chevra Kadisha building and waited for the hearse to arrive from Ben-G\urion airport. Rabbi Nadoff's niece invited me into a car where Rabbi Nadoff's sister was sitting, giving me precious minutes to tell both of them what it meant to have this man of such great style and wisdom aa a member of our Jewish community, and how much love there was for him.

A few minutes later, his daughter, Julie (Yehudet Amrani) was driven up with members of her family. We also shared tears. From that moment on I served as a witness to the final tribute to Rabbi Isaac Nadoff. Immediately upon arrival of the hearse, there was a transfer to th$ talliscovered body from the casItet to a stretcher and then to a small blue hearse in which there were members of the Chevra Kadisha. Followed by private cars filled with relatives and members of the Yemenite community, the procession passed the Hyatt Regency Hotel and drove into the hills into an Arab section over rocky, rough stone roads to the top.of the Mount of Olives cemetery. Quickly the body was taken by stretcher and surrounded by 20 or more black'hatted and bearded men who moved in unison with a soft shuffle around the body chanting the words of the Song of Songs. At the grave, words of honor were spoken in Hebrew by Rabbi Nadoff's brother-in-law, who told about this man of strength and wisdom. Rabbi Nadoff was eulogized aa a man who believed in following the straight path who had served so well as a rabbi in Omaha. ' I said my o,wn silent words of eulogy and Kaddiah aa I remembered sit(Continued on Page 10)

EndofPesah The shining future of mankind The readings of Torah for Pesah, and the Haftarot, are by no means without interest. My favorite among them is the Haftarah for the last day. In our ritual, the last day includes the poignant recitation of Yizkor, and the congregation is in a mood of anticipation, of tension. Sacred remembrances are in the minds of most of the worshipers. We are never able fully to accept the irrevei;8ible datum of death. Our mind's eye is full of pictures of cherished friends and relatives, our parents first and foremost; and that mind's eye is blurred by tears, real or only conjured up, like the pictures themselves. And before Yizkor, the Haftarah. The Haftarah may indeed be a kind of closing to one section of the Book of Isaiah. For the end of the Haftarah is a psalm-Uke poem, a kind of liturgical conclusion to a formal reading of all that precedes. What precedes, actually, in the Book of Isaiah of Jerusalem, is a solemn and crushing indictment of Jerusalem and Judah for sinfulness; sinfulness that can lead only to.destruction. Destruction. Destruction at the hand of God, for God cannot tolerate sinfulness of high degree. But in the ninth chapter, and now in the 11th, which is the main part of our Haftarah, the prophet opens his eye to the future and his heart to woeful mankind. There will come a day, he promises, there will come a day when the evil in humankind will be eradicated, and the sinfulness of the low impulses of the human soul will be excised. All, all will be peace. Mankind and Nature will be as one, in joyous and serene cooperation. Hatred and fear will be banished. Gentleness and compassion will rule, and faithfulness will inhere in the spiritual makeup of humankind, humankind redeemed. And how can all this be? It will be, Isaiah envisions, when a righteous descendant of David will ascend the' throne of Judah, and by his charisma of righteousness all will be accomplished. Without mentioning the word Messiah, the prophet has given a blueprint of the Messianic Age. The structure has never been built. But the blueprint has given heart to human beings for all the generations since Isaiah's time, It is Passover, Festival of Freedom. It is oiUy right that we should have this luminous passage before us on PasBover, for Freedom is the very foundation of the glorious structure to which the blueprint points. How fitting it is that we should read this Haftarah on Passover! How apt the description of what njii should be! How shining the goal to which we should dress our energies and our ambitions!

"Where does Israel fit in?" Dr. Cannon suggested that Israel is not standing still while the changing relationship takes form. .-«

A Cannon perspective

Federation applauds campaigners

She pointed out that Israel is now recognized by more than 160 nations, that she is moving in new directions such as turning on phone service to Jordan, and that she is negotiating with Turkey over water for the region. The key to establishing Israel as a vital ally for the United States in the future alreadj^is developing, she added. She pointed out that Israel now is emerging as a re- search and development arm for American industry which is in the throes of cutbacks. In addition, Haifa is emerging as a major port of call for the United States Navy, and Israeb facilities are being us«i to repair and rebuild American airplanes and land weapons. And one of the most important aspects of the new relationship, Dr. Cannon said, is Israel's ability to fight terrorism helping to keep JVorth Korea and Moslemic Fundamentalism in check. There also is Israel's agricultural capability which should aid in helping to solve food shortages in many hard-pressed countries. The new relationship between Israel and the United States will be based on needing each other and not on so-called moral and ethical grounds, she added.

NEW YORK (JTA)The National Jewish Community Relations Council has launched a major campaign to increase Jewish involvement in American politics and project the Jewish public affairs agenda. "To continue to thrive as we have in this pluralistic society, we need to step up our involvement at all levels of the political process," said NJCR AC Chair Maynard Wishner. "In this election year, our aiin is to energize Jews as individuals and as a community to become more involved politically at the grass roots for years to come. Such involvement is critical for us as a community, and for the broader society," he said. NJCRAC is not endorsing a particular party or platform. The NJCRAC Election '92 Committee is calling upon local community relations councils around the country to organize voter registration drives, encourage individuals to work in political campaigns, and sponsor forums allowing candidates to address the Jewish community.

If it's Friday, it's still Passover '92. If it's Saturday, it's all over when the sun goes down. As I write these words, I 'm thinking about the end of Pesach in the long gone days of my childhood. I'm not thinking of the obvious—how wonderfully good the first chometz tasted. I'm recalling those kazillion boxes of dishes and other kitchen stuf^. Those boxes which were shlepped up from the basement just one week earlier. Those boxes which now needed to be repacked and hauled back downstairs. And the boxes of chometz needing to come back into the kitchen! I'm remembering the oilcloth covered surfaces in the kitchen and the unfamiliar white enamel tea kettle which took the place of the old faithful aluminum. And I'm remembering how good it was to put the toaster back where it belonged. There weren't so many small appliances as we have now, but there were all those everyday dishes for mUchig and fleishig... all that stuff, So much needing to be traded for the one week each year. The actual carrying was left to my reluctant brother and whoever else could be commandeered. So many warnings and instructions.. ."be careful with that carton. It's got all the wine glasses!" And "don't mix those up^that one has the fleishig teplach and the other one is dishes." All of that was generally followed up by "geez, how many more trips do I hafta make?" By the time all this was happening, there were prob-, ably only a dozen or so eggs left of the original 12 dozen; and who knows how many boxes of matza meal and potato starch had been used? Enough fried matza to sink a battleship had been cooked and consumed (the purest form of ambrosia) and countless potato latkes had been fried in the familiar peanut oil. . When the last of the shlepping was done and the kitchen looked normal again, then we knew the pleasure of anticipating that wonderful first dinner. It was always dairy and the challah was better than cake. We usually had cold beet borscht and I don't remember much else, but I'll never forget the big bowl of strawberries aiid sour cream, I can taste it yet! Yes, the preparations are a killer and there's never enough time or energy, but when it's all done and everything has been restored to its original state, most of us have the same thing to say. "It was a lot of work, but it was wonderful to have everyone together for the seder." And even if we don't say it, we know we've just strengthened our link to the past; we've added a small ! to the continuity. We've acknowledged and parapated in this important tradition... Passover, 1992. Good Yomtov.

Sharansky may start party of immigrants By David Landau JERUSALEM IJTA)Natan Sharansky has finally thrown his hat into the political ring, and the pundits are ah^ady assessing his chances. Sharansky's weekend announcement was a Passover surprise, inasmuch as the famous ex-refusenik, who came lo Israel in 1986 after nine years in the Soviet Gulag, had for months warded off offers from established political parties and aspiring new Knesset lists alike. In an interview with the Israeli daily Yediot'Achronot, which he initiated, the famous "prisoner of Zion" said he wants to found a party made up of new im-

migrants and veteran Israelis alike. He called on business leaders, distinguished government officials and retired military careerists to join him. Sharansky's weekend announcement was welcomed by leaders of the recently formed immigrants party Da, headed by Yuli Kosharovsky, another longtime refusenik from Moscow. Kosharovsky said upon his recent election to head the party that he hoped SharansJky would eventually assuilne leadership of the movement. He urged him to head Da's election list for June 23.

The Marines are always looking for a few good men. I always cringe when I hear this. After all, in this era of equality, they should be looking for a few good men and women. 1 know I am. 1 want to know how many of you are graduating from high school this year. No, I 'm not going to sell you something or remind your English teacher that your grade has dropped two points since the last test. The Jewish Press wants to recognize you. We want to print your name and where you go to school. I know it doesn't sound like a big deal now, but it will be. Your relatives will love it. And your mother will clip the article and put it in a big scrapbook. Twenty years from now •{when you're almost as old as I am) you'll bring your family to your parents for Passover. After the seder, you'll be relaxing and looking for something interesting to show your children. You will run across the scrapbook in the bottom of a chest. "I don't remember being in the same class with him," will be the first words out of your mouth as you show the next generation the Jewish Press article that includes your name. 1 have a problem. Although I have a list with names of Jewish teenagers, it doesn't tell me what color your eyes are or where you go to school or when you graduate. Please call or write the Jewish Press with this information. lOh, I guess you don't need to reveal your eye color.) If you're too busy or are down with an acute case of senioritis, maybe you can get your mom to call. Actually, I'm asking for considerable information in this column. I am compiling a list of Omaha-area Jewish college students to be interviewed for an upcoming special edition. They can be freshmen or graduate stu-. dents from Omaha, Council Bluffs or Lincoln, or anywhere in between. They can l>e going to school in Omaha, Alaska or Florida. They can be single, married or engaged. They can be sad or happy or trying to decide. In other words, just about any college studept you know. Just call the office at 334-8200, ext. 251, and give us names and addresses. By the way, I do have a slight connection with the Marines. I just foiind out an ancestor of mine was in the Revolutionary War. He was a Marine, a 14-year-old boy who was a musician. 1 wonder if he played the drum or fife? If only there was a newspaper clipping somewhere in a scrapbook.

Nadoff (CoQtiDued from Page 1) deserving of "this major tribute". At this dinner, Rabbi Izak Levi, Rabbi Nadoff's brother-in-law, offered a tribute from the family. He said, in part, that although Rabbi Nadoff comes from a long line of rabbis known throughout the world, there is only one Nadoff in Omaha.. He went on to explain that the word Nadoff in Hebrew means a gift and that when one adds the Hebrew meaning in the other parts of his name one comes up with "a divine gift"... a divine gift to the community. Meniorials may be made in Rabbi Nadoff's name to Beth Israel Synagogue.

By Marion Bernstein SAN ANTONIO (JTA| —Reform rabbis must take the lead in confronting intermarriage, the most perplexing and challenging issue affecting the American Jewish community today. That was the message delivered to the annual convention of the Central Conference of American. Rabbis by Dr. Steven Bayme, director of Jewish communal affairs for the American Jewish Conunittee. Judging by the time and intensity devoted to discussions of the subject, the message was not lost on members of the CCAR, the rabbinical arm of Reform Judaism in America. The convention, held here earlier this month, tackled other matters, as well. Some were at the cutting edge of evolving Jewish life in America, such as the progress made by women rabbis and the introduction of innovatfve new traditions aimed at making the community more inclusive. But intermarriage received the most attention when Bayme challenged the rabbinical response to it and criticized Jewish communal leaders generally for adopting a helpless attitude toward it.

look like and our policy for how to realize it," he said. Bayme cited the findings of the 1990 National Jewish Population Survey conducted by the Council of Jewish Federations to establish the dimensions of the problem. The survey found an intermarriage rate of about 50 percent, while the conversion rate of non-Jewish spouses dropped to 6 percent. Bayme said neither Zionism nor Orthodox Judaism has provided a "constructive" solution to the problem.

Lots of wealth, four very large cities, with a 30 percent native Chinese polulation leading things on the island for the populations of 70 percent who are not. Oh, yes, about Japanese autos, they must be assembled in Taiwan. Taiwan does not have borders to be protected like Israel has. China is not, at this time, a threat, Uke Israel is threatened by a million enemy troops to attack that tiny country. Taiwan must be something to see. Thanks, Amy and Alan.
