"Rigid defensive protection of turf for the sake of turf will have to be muted and diminished," he Said referring to the agencies of the Federation. "We can either stand together or hong separately. We must. have a more rational basis for decisions about the allocations of our scarce resources." He said the Federation is going through difficult times. "We are going to

Federation outlines budget and alloctions process Whmt la a 95% base budget? By BarlMura Chcmdler, Federation public relations director The Federation budget and allocations process for t)ie 1992/93 fiscal year will be completed this month. Jay Lamer, past president of the Jewish Federation of Omaha, presented the following information about the process and changes that were implemented this year. ' "Every year at this time, the Federation's Budget and Allocations Committee meets with agency presidents and directors to discuss distribution of campaign dollar? for the coming year," explained Mr. Lerner. "This year, the B&A Committee adopted a 95% base budget process which has raised some questions in the community. "To allocate limited resources for the increasing needs of our Jewish community and the ^orld Jewish conununity is a complex and difficult process. Everyone involved devotes long hours and a great deal of effort to provide our cooununity with the best [wssible programs and services for their dollars." Mr. Lerner jirovided the following answers to questions regarding the budget and allocations process. WbMt IB the function of the Budget and AUocations Committee? to The Budget and AUocations Conunittee of the Jewish Federation of Omaha i.s made up of volunteers within our Jewish'-community. They represent the broadest possible cross-section of our Jewish community including all age groups, synagogue affiliations and Jewish interests. The members of the committee are charged with the responsibility of allocating funds raised during the annual Federation campaign. "The seven agencies of the Federation—The Jewish Community Center, Bureau for the Aging, Bureau of Jewish Education, Jewish Family Service, Jewish Press, Library and Anti-Defamation I.«ague/Community Relations Committee—submit their budget requests to the B&A Committee. Through this process, communal dollars raised through our community campaign are allocated by volunteers, from the community. By this means, there is real community input in the distribution of the much needed resources. 'There are many ways to allocate funds. This year, our B&A Committee adopted a 95% base budget process."

"As operation costs and the costs of delivering services to the conununity rise, there is increased pressure on available resources. At the same time, it is clear that the abihty of our annual campaign to raise the needed dollars to meet these rising costs will be less likely in the future. Consequently, the Federation has established a formal process to identify and determine communal priorities which will then be used to influence allocations of our resources. "It would not be possible or productive for the Federation to review all of the programs and services of each agency cmd then to allocate all of the available funds on a program-by-program basis. On the other hand, the Federation raises the dollars from our community for the agencies and has a responsibility to direct the expenditures according to the needs and priorities identified by the community. "As a result, this year the B&A Committee implemented a process whereby, for the 1992/93 fiscal year, they estabhshed a 95% base budget which guaranteed each Federation agency 95% of last year's funding while allocating the remaining funds among the agencies based on priorities as demonstrated by the community needs survey. Some agencies received more than last year's funding while the funding of other agencies was reduced a few percentage points.. If we raised more money In tbe campaign tltis year tban last year, wby don't tiie agendea bave more money to worli vritb? "We did raise more dollars in the 1992 Campaign than we did in 1991, but as the information below illustrates, the number of dollars available for distribution was about the same." IWl/Vi

"$103,081 additional dollars were available for distribution. These additional funds had to be divided among Israel (which receives slightly less than half of the net proceeds of the campaign), increased costs of maintaining the JCC building and providing central services for the Federation (e.g., typing pool, accounting, postage, copying), and the needs of the Federation and agencies." In conclusion, Mr. Lerner said that "adoption of this base budget process is the initial step in establishing responsible fund distribution that recognizes and encourages quality programming for our Jewish community."

Just a minute

I received a booklet authored by Israel Peleg, Ph.D., and I want to share a couple of his short columns with you:

UNDERSTANDING "A black, gentleman and a Jew are sitting next to each other in the New York subway. Surprisingly, the Jew sees that the black man is reading a Yiddish newspaper. The Jew, unable to contain himself, leans over and asks, 'Are you Jewish?' " 'Man,' replies the black, 'enough with the discrimination!' " "... I received ^ copy of a study ... which, among other conclusions, finds that the alliance of blacks and Jews contributed a great deal to the extension of rights and opportunities for minorities. "As an Israeli who is proud of the cooperation and educational programs implemented by Israel in cooperation with the Afro-Asian countries, I agree with the conclusion that a revival of the alliance between blacks and Jews would further intergroup understanding.-The common tongue need not be Yiddish." PARADISE ON EARTH "Recently we celebrated Tu-BeShvat, which, like Arbor Day, is the new year of the trees; Tree planting in Israel is associated with soil reclamation and symbolizes the restoration of Jewish life in our ancient homeland, i "The tree is an important symbol in Jewish sources. The Garden of Eden—mankind's lost paradise—included every kind of tree. The very word 'paradise' derives from the Hebrew word 'pardess,' meaning fruit orchard and orange grove. "So the yearly planting of trees not only holds to a national tradition and contributes to the reforestation of the State of Israel, but also demonstrates our wish to make our life on earth, if not an actual paradise, sit least a 'pardess.'

So, my dear colleague, when we speak of legitimacy, Two ancedotes will bring to light the above. A num- I have no idea what you mean. I say live and let live. ber of years^ago a person was in a hospital in New York Let each Jew do his/her thing without any other Jew City and requested a kosher meal. The dietician came criticizing it. We can stand together or fall apart. Atto the patient's room and asked "What type of Kosher?" tacking other Jews is self-defeating. "What do you mean?" "Well we have OU, Star K, NK, Orthodoxy does not deny that people practice JudaSatmar, Belz, Lubavich, Margareten, etc...." Each ism(s) in different ways. However, it has a right to say kosher supiervision sets its standards based upon its Halakhic traditions and some people would not eat from that certain observances fall within the guidelines of one they were not accustomed to.

Compare this to any El Al flight to or from Israel, and the seemingly continuous davening on the plane. NoI agree, genug ist genug, enough is enough. I would body asks are you Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, be happy to put this pen down provided the spiteful and Secular, Humanist—we all come together.

Hulda, a caravan community By Laura Bloom There were many wonderful experiences during the 1992 Spring Mission to Israel, but one of the most memorable was visiting Ethiopian Jewish families in Hulda, a caravaii community. We were reminded of the events of May 25 and 26. 1991, when 15,000 Ethiopian Jews left their villages and made a four-hour flight to Israel. The Jewish Agency carefully organized and orchestrated this plan, and it was miraculously carried through.

Ethiopian kiDdergartnere break for lunch.

Today, there are several caravan commimities that are set up for the Ethiopian Jews where they are learning to adjust to the Israeli culture. Tliere are approximately 200 families living in the caravans in Hulda. They are a close-knit group of people and family is extremely important to them. When we arrived in Hulda, children approached our bus to greet us. They enjoy receiving visitors, especially those with cameras. They love to have their pictures taken and look through the camera lens themselves. We visited a preschool classroom where we met the most adorable children. Their Israeli teacher was speaking Hebrew with them. The children were about to begin lunch. They said the bracha and then we sat with them while they ate. Then we proceeded to the family caravans. An Ethiopian wonum was preparing sweet-and-sour flatbread which she insistra on sharing with us. In her caravan there were two rooms. In One room was the kitchen, an eating area and one bed. In the second room were two beds and a crib. In addition to the living quarters and children's classrooms, there ia also a synagogue at Hulda where the men assemble every Friday night for services. A bus stops in the community three times a daiy to take adults into Rehovot to do shopping and attend classes. Our short stay in Hulda was a lovely experience. The women all looked very happy and the children seemed heailthy and well looked after. And why not. They are all living in Eretz Yisroel where their history and tradition began.

Glimpses of the Jewish Federation's annual meeting By Bert Lewis

By the time you read this, we will have celebrated Shavous and probably forgotten all about it for this year. Before it leaves memory altogether, I have to speculate about something. Having prepared some of the traditional foods we like at this season, I began to wonder if there were statistics on cholesterol and Jewish people ... that is, I wondered if we are more prone to high cholesterol counts than non-Jews. How come such a question came to mind? I'll explain. Eggs. Lots of eggs are important in the preparation of Shavous foods. At my house, this kind of special meal begins with borscht; either beet or spinach, depending on preference. The first egg goes (hard cooked) into the spinach borscht, as my mother-in-law taught me. If I'm making a double recipe, it's extra eggs. , The next course calls for blintzes, of course. The outside takes umpteen eggs, and the cheese filling also needs egg. If you aren't into the blintze business, maybe ' a kugel is on the menu. That uses egg noodles and egg^ mixed in with the other good stuff. Fish is a natural, whether it's cooked gefilte fish or tuna or maybe salmon patties (my personal favorite). More eggs, even if you decide to do it the easy way and just make a cold tuna salad. No matter which way you decide, it's more eggs. And, as long as there's such a nice yomtov dinner, it's only fitting to make a nice dessert, right? Almost everything I like to bake or fix calls for eggs. Believe it or not, under ofdinary circumstances, it takes so long for me to use a dozen eggs I worry about freshness when I get to'the last one. But not when preparing the Shavous feast. This past holiday, when the table was cleared and the dishes done, I realized I had used the better part of two dozen eggs to prepare the goodies. I was a little horrified, I'U admit. Oh 1 know perfectly well I could have used egg substitute in several places, but I decided to be a purist. The rest of the year I'm careful but after all, once in a while won't kill Anybody ... at least I hope not! Of course, cholesterol is found in many other foods, but eggs are right up there at the top of the no-no list when we talk about how high our numbers were after the blood test. That's the reason I started to wonder . if being Jewish means higher scores from the lab. I've never heard anybody say that and I'm certainly aware we have plenty of other things to worry about, but still, I wonder. Well, Shavous won't be he^e again until next spring. Naturally, there will be other yomtavin, but I'm not going to get into favorite foods of each holiday. I'm just going to really watch it from now on—really pay attention to good, nutrition. That way I'll have a very clear conscience when it's time to o.d. on the hen fruit.

Ever since moving to Lincoln in 1976. I've thought this community an extraordinary place to live. Having lived in half a dozen cities, in different regions of the U.S.. I am a self-proclaimed expert on the subject of quality of life in small-Qty America. One of the attributes I have found b«re m Uie "heart" of the Jews of this locality. A&an example, let me cite Leslie Young. This caring ironum (who, ineidmtally. has probknaa of har own) hw taken it upon herasU to tugownt tha work b«iag dona by Mvaâl agenciaa In Uncobi to faad tha hungry, poor pMiôf the area.

By Hugh Orgel . TEL AVIV (JTA)-Although. the Palestine Liberation Organization says it has abandoned terrorism, its mainstream Al Fatah branch was responsible for the attempted terrorist attack near Eilat last month, according to Israel's military intelli' gence chief. The attack would have caused a bloodbath among civilians had it succeeded, Maj. Gen. Uri Saguy said Monday, on the occasion of Israel Defense Force Intelligence Day. Saguy said the attackers were members of Yasir Arafat's Fatah organization and had been trained in Libya. In his wide-ranging address, Saguy also warned that Iran will acquire a nuclear capabihty by the end of the decade, posing a potentially grave danger to Israel.

Israeli artist Lawrence Marcuson will exhibit watercolors, pastels and prints June 21, from noon to 6 p.m., at the Wedgewood Clubhouse, 966 Mayberry Court, in support of Kibbutz K'far Hanassi in Upper Galilee and Omaha's Soviet Jewry resettlement program. His wife, Bathsheba, is a cousin of Miriam Simon who is co-hosting the event with her husband, Erv. Mrs. Simon is co-chairman of Omaha's Soviet Jewry program. Mr. Marcuson, a native of Glasgow, Scotland, studied at the Glasgow School of Art and emigrated to Israel in 1956. He teaches art at Tel Hai College. Mrs. Simon said the works would be priced from $80 to $160.

By Harry Paskowitz Amy Potash and superb volunteers with Shane Kotok as chief installer, did an outstanding job of the installation of Y.E.S. officers (and Mother's Day recognition). This was a tasty buffet luncheon with Stan Widman and company's music, all to capacity attendance. Incoming offi-

Thomas Findley, v.p. of Leo A. Daly Co., showed slides on riverfront development proposals with botanictil center, marina, ampitheatre, and offices in the area of U.P. shops toward Abbott Drive to the river.

cers: Harry Paskowitz, president; Evelyn Epstein, vice-president; Rosaline Epstein, recording secretary; Lester Waxman, treasurer; Frieda Krizelman, dues membership. Outgoing officers: Sylvia Ross, Ina Levich, and Goldye Goldberg. Diane Zipay, assistant to Mayor Morgan, could not make her appearance. Instead, the resourceful Dr. Margolin brought in some old Jewish records, such as Al Jolson. Marge Nearenberg bolstered the program by singing some vintage Yiddish melodies.

JoEllyn Anderson brought 28 "cream of the crop" Ralston elementary school children. With piano, drums and g^tar we sang our age oldies like "Toot, Toot, Tootsie Goodbye," and songs of the 50's like "Rocking Around the Clock." Suzanne H adder had a program on "Citizens Against Crime." Due to rain, the Brown Baggin' with Bubble and Zayda picnic went indoors for hot doggin'.

PERSONALS I CARL The family of Julia Zucker thanks everyone for their kind expressions of sympatliy and comfort. "The cards, contributions, visits and food Were all deeply appreciated. Julia's life was made so much richer by her association with the Beth El choir, Dick Walter and his family, and her host of devoted friends. To Rabbi Drazen, Cantor Berkovits and to all of you too numerous to list, your concern and loyalty were evident to the end. We are forever grateful.
