OMaha to Host NCSY Regional Shabbaton By Diane Axler Banra NCSY publicity One hundred twentyfive members of the NaItional Councfl of Synagogue Youth will converge on Omaha's Beth Israel Synagogue today to particqiate in a regional Shabbaton for 5th- through 7thgraders this weekend. Rabbi Joey Friedman of St. Louis, Mo., director of NCSY's Midwestern Re>gion, will lead the religious and sodal activities. The theme of the Shabbaton is "Counting the Omen Counting to Greatmm." The subject, according to Rabbi Friedman, will open dialogue' on "counting toward acceptance of the Torah" and on •newaring the question, "What is the Torah to us?" He said the story of Rabbi Akiva will serve as a basis.for disctiaaion. Rabbi Friedman coMklars a Shabbaton exparfanoe a forum for calling on each Jewish adolaaoant to move toward functioning at hia/her "optimal state of yjmriat obaervaDce." He said. "We're ail Jewish, the moat iaqwrtant for each Jewiah perI to propreae from •tnt A to Point B." Religious observances will be combined with numarous aodal aeUvitiaa, inchidlng a rock and roll and the ariaafltar funny anta and ataSaturdAynigfat

"The Shabbaton will be an important Jewish spiritual experience and a lot of fun," he said. Ben Gooaher, jimior president, considers the regional Shabbaton a culmination of a year of successful activities. In April, the group sponsored a mini-Shabbaton led by Rabbi Allan Ocnaher, Ciintor Leo Fettman, and two rabbis from Margolin Hebrew Academy in Memphis. Other recent activities included a T-ahirt deaign workllw^, a jewelry making aaaaion, a visit to Peony Park, and a aoccer toumamaot. Ongoing discussions during the year have explored the subject of "LaShon Hora," or avoidance of an evil tongue by thinking before "Every time we have an activity more kids attend, and we hope the kids in Omaha are beginning to understand that you don't have to be Orthodox to find your place in NCSY," aaidBan. Members of the Omaha NCSY aanlora will aaaist at the Shabbaton by serving aa counaelor/chaperooaa, aetting up and serving at tlia banquet, and offertag other support
Rabbi Gonsher, who serves as adviser to the juniors, expressed gratitude to- Rabbi Mark Urkowitz, spiritual leader of Beth Israel, for assisting the members in preparing and planning for the Shabbaton and for making arrangements with Beth Israel members who live in walking distance of the synagogue (o provide hdet homes for the out-of-town participants.

Request for aid By David Kontor BONN (JTA)-The Bonn government has confirmed that it is considering Israel's request for billions of dollars in financial assistance to aid in the absorption of new immigrants. The announcement said that talks between the two countries are continuing but did not disclose what amounts were being discussed. A government spokesman refused to comment on reports that Washington has asked Bonn not to grant Israel credits as long as the issue of U.S. loan guarantees for Israel remains unresolved. The U.S. State Departnient has denied making such a request. Israel reportedly has asked the Germans for about $6.2 billion, in aid. Boim has offered $1.2 billion in long-term loans, an amount Israel rejected as insufficient, diplomats here said. Israel also rejected an offer of $2 billion in credit guarantees, German television said. But negotiations with the Finance Ministry continue.

By Rabbi Myer St Kripke ©•1992 Parashat Ahare Mot How soon after Pesah does Yom Kippur come? Most of us are still eating some leftover Passover goodies or Passover sweets; but our Torah reading turns our attention to Yom Kippur and the elaborate rites which accompanied it in the ancient world. We have just finished Pesah and Shavuot is still to come—and now we read about Yom Kippur! But we read the Torah text in a continuous flow, without regard to the season, (In season, of course, that is, on Yom Kippur, we will read this section again. So, too, with other Holy Days.) Most Jews in our communities are more than a little astonished at the careful rites of the Day of Atonement, as the Torah describes them. For in our communities we are accustomed to thinking of Yom Kippur as a full day of prayer and fasting, from evening to evening; but we have nothing whatever corresponding to the sacrifices and other features of ancient observance. We ought to note how astonishing this really is. Although we note the differences between ancient Judaism.and other ancient religions, it is, nonetheless, apparent that rites and ceremonies held an important central position in ancient religious life. In some religions, the ceremony itself was thought to bring automatic spiritual results! There are ainple reasons to believe that this was not true in Judaism, even in the time of Temple sacrifices and the like. But with the destruction of the Temple, no such possibility existed—and "cult" simply disappeared from Jewish life. Prayer, Torah reading, study, and the devotion of the heart took the place of ceremony. There is no altar and no sacrifice. There is no blood and no smoking of fat. There is no incense. There are no pieces of elaborate garb, no washing and ablutions. Indeed, even the ministrations of the priests also disappear. 'The observances of the Holy Day may be emotional, granted. But the Jew is expected to celebrate Yom Kippur and other Holy Days by obliging his heart and mind to absorb the meaning of the Holy Day and internalize it: In the Temple it was not only that the priests led the ceremonies: Only the priests and their assistants performed the ceremonies. The priests atoned for the congregation. ' " In the Synagogue the prayers may be led by Cantor and Rabbi. But is it a praying congregation? The Rabbi and Cantor cannot do it for the congregation. Put in a word, Rabbi and Cantor do not serve as priests; and the Synagogue is not a Temple.

ten prompts writers to escape into, and frolic among, the coinputer keys. For example, thousands of years ago, cave dwellers used clubs to bash heads of their neighbors. For what? A bit more land, or perhaps, a more elaborate tiger skin..: - Today, missiles, bombs, and assorted "smart" weapons essentially still bash the heads of neighbors. For what? A bit more land, or perhaps, control of the drug trade... Yes, one would have to agree that man certainly has advanced technologically. Science continues to amaze us with unbelievable achievements in medicine, computers, bio-engineering—you name it, we either have it, or it's on the drawing board. Unfortunately, there appears to be little or no ad' vancement in human relations or in a willingness to solve environmental problems. Men continue to bash heads, and wre&k havoc with air, soil and water. And at this point, the relentless pursuit of ignorance regarding the ability of Earth to sustain life in all its splendid forms appears to be hurtling our planet toward disaster. One doesn't have to be a world-class mathematician or a prophet to see that Earth is in trouble. Over population, inability of miUions of people to draw upon proper foKxl, clothing and shelter, means that many die or suffer because of the cave man mentality that just doesn't go away. Rather than live in peace and pursue the goodness that life offers, man seems to be bent on self-destruction. So the bad news is that man and woman (of course) don't seem Co have the will to solve Earth's problems and that eventually the ozone layer will cease to offer protection or some other man-made calamity will bring about catastrophic failure of the entire planet. So the thing for us amateurs to contemplate is whether space travel will be the key to man's continuing existence. Is it possible that our present low-key attempt to explore space one day will be the key industry throughout the world? If Earth is truly doomed down the road, doesn't it seem likely that the only way left for man would be to colonize the heavens? ^ Thanks for engaging in my fantasy. I'm going to call my travel agent and check on the next flight to Jupiter. I hear the settlers are Uving i|i caves, but, at least, they are not bashing heads.

Holocaust victims memorialized By Snaan Paley, staff wri(w Community and political leaders and clergy, both Jewish and nonJewish, participated last Sunday in the Holocaust Memorial program "Unto Every Person there is a Name," a nationwide simultaneous reading of names of victims of the Holocaust. An attempt was made to find each person's name, place of birth, and, if possible, the date and place of death. The program began with a candelighting ceremony by Omaha's March of the Living partipants. The teenagers followed with a reading of "The First Ones," a poem by Poet Yitzchak Katzenelson, memorializing children who were murdered in the Holocaust. The assembled guests then chanted the Kaddish together. Governor Ben Nelson and Omaha Mayor P.J. Morgan were the first name readers. "We must . rememl^r this horrible time," Governor Nelson said. "We must make sure that it never happens again." Mayor Morgan expressed his gratitude to the Jewish community for allowing him to participate in this important event. Rabbi Mark Urkowitz of Beth Israel Synagogue told the assembly that "it' is a great mitzvah to be buried next to a child, because the Rabbis tell us that children leave this
world free from sin. Since we do not know the final resting place of many of these children, we must continue to pray for their final peace." The program was organized in the U.S. by B'nai B'rith and sponsored locally by the Jewish Cultural Ajrts Council. Name readers included: Governor Ben Nelson, Mayor P. J. Morgan, Bob Wolfson, ADL director, Cory Kirshenbaum, Rabbi Mark Urkowitz, Senator John IJndsey, Joachim Boin, Josh Zweiback, Rabbi Sidney H. Brooks, Keith Peltz, Joye Wees, Pam Cohen, Senator Jessie Rasmussen, Sally Venger, Shulamis Kutcher, Eadie Tsabari, co-chairman, Yom HaShoah, Reverend Martha Freeman, Ann Schwartz, Rim Gonsher, Senator Ernie Chambers. Also, Julie Kalkowski, Susie Shyken, Julee Katzman, Stan Mitchell, Martin Kushner, Miriam Grossman, Jane Batt, Reverend Val J. Pfeter, Charlotte Kaplan, Gary Shyken, Marylyn Felion, Nikki Paley, Phillip Paley, Lauren Paley, Susan Paley, Steve Danon, co-chairman, Yom HaShoah, Amy Nachman Potash, Senator Tom Horgan, Harry Shijman, Bill Ramsey, Louise Abrahamson. Also; Ray Goldstein, nita Melgares, Jqhn Wagstaffe, Larry Raful, Dinah Raful, Senator Carol McBride Pirso, and Debbie Friedman..
Beth Israel offers crash course Beth Israel Synagogue wLU offer a "Crash Course in Basic Judaism," a series of five free one-hour classes at the JCC beginning May 18, Rabbi Mark Urkowitz announced. The lecture series about Belief in GHI, Prayer, Shabbat, Jewish Observance, and Sexuality is sponsored by the National Jewish Outreach Program. "We are addressing a significant need in ' the Jewish conununity," explained Rabbi Ephraim Buchwald, Director of the National Outreach Program. "Today, we have the most highly educated generation of American
Jews—teachers, doctors, scientists, lawyers—and many are not a(;quainted with the language and traditions of their bcnitage." Rabbi Urkowitz stated that "the entire community is welcome to attend. Previous Jewish education is not a prerequisite. Everyone will be able to benefit from this course." Thaserioe ia part of a national campaign whose theme is "Being Jewish is Just the Beginning." The program is being offered in synagogues and community canters throughout the U.S. To lagiater call 566-6288 or 1-800-TORAH.

By Bert Lewis I guess it's no secret I find gadgets and chatchkahs somewhat fascinating. One that I see a lot of lately is that Uttle thing you connect to your phone. When you get a call, the little box displays the telephone number of the caller, supposedly giving you a chance to take the call or ignore it. I thought it was a great invention the first time I read about it quite a while back. It seemed to m^ it could end being bothered with crank calls or advertising or just somebody you didn't want to talk to. Now, according to an ad I saw the other day, it's available at a fairly nominal price instead of big bucks. So what's the point? Well, only this—how good does your memory have to be in order to utilize this httle wonder? Let's be honest. Most, if not many, of us have telephones with a "memory." That is, the ability to store anywhere from 10 to 30 or 40 telephone numbers; this means all we have to do is push one button and the smart phone remembers the number and automatically rings it. Fine. But tell me, if you only push one button, don't you have a tendency to forget the actual number? I must confess I don't remember people's numbers the way I used to, since I only have to push one button. So what do we have here, with the memory phone and the little black box telling us who is caUing? Probably a response such as "wait a minute—whose number is that? Do 1 want to answer or not?" The question might be, "have we outwitted ourselves with all our gadgets?" Think about all the automatic settings we have around the house or office.'Things with a built-in brain which can be programmed to turn on or off or do whatever it is you want done. But what happens if some yutz outside drives into a power pole and knocks out the electricity in your area? Unless your gadgets have a 8i>ecial connection to protect them, very often the power outage means everything konked out of commission. Even the dumb answering machine can get messed up, to say nothing of the simplest things like all the electric clocks in the house. Most of us may have battery-operated clocks and other things, but still, losing power can mean havoc. I guess it's not all bad, however, I can't say I'd miss it if some of those answering machines that play 20 questions were rendered mute, I mean the ones that ask who you want, then tell you what number to punch, then a succession of other questions and numbers. I always feel like such an idiot to be carrying on communication with a machine. But, for the most part, we probably would miss mosts: of our conveniences if something happened to eUminate^ them permanently. That means it isn't fair to make fun, . but I still wonder about the importance of that little digital reiadout of incoming calls. Personally, my memory isn't good enough to make it worthwhile.
