K
RabU Daniel Fink school level curriculum. Rabbi Fink said his profession has given him the opportunity to be ef teacher in the broadest sense. "Teaching is not a one-way experience for me," he said. "I exchange learning. It's a broader kind of more informal teaching." Rabbi Fink, a third generation Reform rabbi, says he is first and foremost a student and teacher of the Reform tradition. "I believe that in an age in which we are all free to choose whether or not to identify as Jews, the future of the Jewish community depends upon our being as inclusive as possible," Rabbi Fink stated. An enthusiastic nature lover. Rabbi Fink led his congregations in Virginia on canoe and hiking trips. As a volunteer with the Blue Ridge Pood Bank, he raised money through a pledge drive that waa linked with hiking the Appalachian Trail.

JCC singles group offers variety By Susan Paley The JCC singles group has been revived, according to chairperson Judy Biniamow. "At the moment, there is no Jewish singles group in Omaha. We are trying to bring 'life' back to the origind JCC singles group to service the many single Jewish people of all ages in our community." The purpose of this renewed effort is to "make a strong, vibrant, and busy group for Omaha's Jewish singles from ages 21-66," Ms. Biniamow continued. "We want this group to be a safe haven for people to get together for a variety of activities. We want people to join in, to make friends. People think if they come to this group they are automatically labeled as 'looking for a mate,' but that is not what this group is all about." The group is currently attempting to develop activitiee that are not juat social in nature, JCC adult services director Aimee Kirby commented. "In the past, all of the group's activities were for social purposes," Ms. Kirby said. "We are planning civic and educational programming, as well as future trips. "In order to make this a succees, we need people who are willing to help in a conaiatently strong effort for planning and ex-
ecuting programs. We don't want people to think that every program is for people of all ages. We are looking for representatives from each age group, 20's, 30's, 40's, and SO-plus to help us at the next planning meeting which takes place on Aug. 19." A questionnaire was sent to all single Jewish persons but the response was not good, Ms. Biniamow said. "People can call Ms. Kirby for additional questionnaires, if they wish. We are trying to reach out, but we must have input from aa many people as possible." 'the first formal function will take place on Aug. 30 at the JCC. "It will be a first-class barbecue with music and all the trimmings," Ms. Biniamow said. "Invitations will be sent to everyone in Omaha, as well as Lincob, Sioux City, and Dee Moines. We have three wonderful chairpeople, Marty Rosenstem, BUsse Cdlia and Scott Tutshen. We have a wonderful facility and we want to bring our group home to the JCC. We look forward to a successful program and a great year." . Future programs include a 'dynamic' speaker for September and a game night for October.

Loan deal active with Baker visit By Gil Sedan JERUSALEM (JTA)Secretary of State James Baker ended his visit Tuesday with Israelis convinced they would soon get long-awaited guarantees from the United States for billions of dollars in loans needed for immigrant absorption. Differences between the two countries remain, most notably over Prime Minister Yitxhak Rabin's distinction between "security" and "political" settlements, which Baker does not accept. But Israeli sources say Baker will, nonetheless, advise President Bush to grant the loan guarantees, with an announcement expected early next month during Rabin'a visit to Bush's vacation home in Maine. Baker siunmed up his visit as "very fruithil." The new political situation presents an opportunity to create "a new momentum" in the peace procees, he said. The secretary of state mainteined his upbeat tone after meeting in Amman for four hours with King Hussein of Jordan.
"There are opportunities now that should be taken advantage of and will be taken advantage of," he said, according to reports from the Jordanian capital. Foreign Minister Shimon Peres, who met a few times with Baker during his stay, likewise held out prospects for progress. He told the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations in a telephone call to New York that the talks with Baker were "successful" and conducted in an atmosphere of "warmth and'. friendship." Peres said that in discussions with Baker about the peace talks, "many of the misunderstandings related to the bilateral talks have been clarified, and substantive diacussions were held on multilateral issues." He said that "the Palestinians are convinced that we mean business. I believe they're ready to go ahead." Pares aaid he expected the iaaue of the Arab boycott againat Israel to be raiaed by Baker on his visit to the Arab states.

MFW YORK MTA>_ NEW YORK (JTA) Leaders of the Jewish community of Zimbabwe have written to President Robert Mugabe, protesting a "derogatory statement about Jews" he is repeated to have made, the World Jewish Congress reported. Muriel Rosin, president of the Central African Jewish Board of Deputies, the WJC national affiliate in Zimbabwe, said the letter asked for clarification from Mugabe and requested a meeting With him. According to published reports, Mugabe's renuu'ks were made during a visit to peasant farming regions in western Zimbabwe. The peasants apparently complained that white ranchers were refusing to allow their livestock to

ologians and academics who work in interreligious affairs. It is being led by Jack Bemporad, a Reform rabbi from Long Island, who said that the center was bom out of hustration with an Orthodox Jewish prohibition against discussing theological topics in interreligious dialogue. Recent developments, said Bemporad, indicate that Catholic- Jewish relations would benefit eVen more if the two groups couki discuss theology with one another. He cited the Vatican's expected statements on the Holocaust and on "theology on Jews and Judaism" as two documents that should have Jewish input. "You can't hold a position that we can't talk about these things and then complain when they come out with things not to our liking. We have to talk to them before, not after" they finish them, said Bempwad.

Rabbi Ismar Schorsch, chancellor of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, says that "Hebrew is as vital to the Jewish people today as ever, especially for American Jewry." His remarks appeared in the newsletter of the HiBtadmth Ivrit, an organization which promotes teaching Hebrew to American Jews. Rabbi Schorsch commented that too few Jews in the U.S. know what it really means to be Jewish. "Because their language repertoire usually excludes Hebrew, many of our people have limited access to the treasure trove of liter-

ature, secular and religious, that defines who they are and where they come from." The chancellor added that the sense of uniqueness that Hebrew inspires is gone and that English words sound just like the prayers of others. "Translated prayer becomes yet another vehicle for assimilation," Rabbi Schorsch asserted "Unless Jews in the U.S. can speak their own language, they will never be able to fully appreciate what it means to be Jewish." He concluded that in the long run, the Jewish community in America will suffer.
MARVIN F. KAPLAN Marvin F. Kaplan, a past commander of Epstein-Morgan Post No. 260, died July 15. Services were held at Fisher Farm Cemetery.
^'Meln Kampf" In Hebrew TEL AViV (JTA)-An abridged version of Adolf Hitler's "Mein Kampf" has been translated into Hebrew and published by Akademon, Hebrew University's student press, over the protests of rightwing and nationalistic circles. According to Moshe Zinunermann, who teaches German history at the university and was involved in the project, the 130-page annotated booklet containing selected chapters from the original 700-page book, is largely aimed at students of Ge^ man history. Hitler wrote "Mein Kampf," which spells out his anti-Semitic philosophy and strategy for wwkl control, while serving an
11-month term in a Bavarian prison in 1924-25 for an attempted coup. "Anybody studying history has to know the facts. As long as not everybody in Israel can study German in secondary schools, we have to provide translations," he said.
He is survived by his wife, Dorothy; sister, Anita Deutschman of Metuchen, N,J.; sons Howard and Robert; and one grandson. Mr. Kaplan served as commander of the local J.W.y. post in 1967. Memorials may be made to a favorite charity.

Holocaust revisionist David Irving, who recoitly gained notoriety when the Sunday Times of London hired him to transcribe the diaries of Nazi propagandist Josef Goebbels, reasserted in an interview published here his view that the Holocaust did not take place. Irving was deported from Italy last month when he arrived to address a neo-Nazi meeting in Rome. He said in the inte^ view published in the magazine section of the newspaper La Repubblica, that had he been allowed to speak, he would have said what he has been saying for 20 years. "What is caUed the Holocaust or the Final Solution, that is, the physical liquidation of the European Jews, was never ordered or scientifically planned by Hitler," he said in the interview. Irving, a historian, said that what happened was probably the result of two forces: initiatives adopted by local authorities in the invaded territories, and a misinterpretation of the regime's anti-Jewish regulations by the leado^p of the SS. "There does not exist one single docimient that establishes a direct link between Hitler and the socalled Final Solution," he added. Italian journalist Miriam Mafai, herself a Jew, quoted Irving as saying that if he had known she was Jewish he would not have agreed to be interviewed by her. He denied the existence of extermination camps and gas chambers. If they had existed, he claimed, he would have found documentation, because "the Germans were extremely precise" and it was "improbable" that documoits had been destroyed. As for docimients which did show the commander of Auschwitz ordering large quantities of Zyklon B, Irving said "We cannot exclude that this was used in the crematoria where bodies ware iodoerated. Not for gas chambers." German Jews, he said, vtn not Otnnans, adding that "Ooering and Goebbels did everything they could before th« war so that the Jews thamselves would leave Germany.''

Paraahat Piidua RevoIuUon brewing: B'ud Vilhah a'Viial ZUpah (Hey, I'm only Uddingtl The moral problem that hits the reader as the Sidrah opens cannot easily be blinked. Bravely and resolutely, however, I do it and go on to the vexing revolution that faces us. (Repeat, I'm only kiddingi) The revolution is a subsection of the feminist movement in Judaism. It has brought us, already, women rabbis and cantors, women counted in the minyan, women called for aliyot to the Torah, and much more. One bit in the 'much more' is the inclusion of the names of our four foremothers when we mention our three foi^fathers. When we say, "our ancestors, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob," now we include our four foremothers, "Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel and Leah." 1 haven't heard the feminists protesting that list— not yet. But they will. What good does it do to list those women, in that order? Sarah never heard of Rebecca. And Rebecca probably never laid eyes on her nieces, Leah and Rachel (the proper order!). The list sort of implies that they are grandmother, nxith*, hnd dauf^ters, which just ain't so. I have heard one rabbi read the list, "Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and Rebecca, and Jacob and Rachel and Leah." Right! Wait till the feminists catch on to that! But the big revolution that is coming has to do with the other two of Jacob's "wives," Bilhah and Zilpah. About one-third of us are descended from them, that it to sby, four of the tribes out of twelve. (I assume that some of the Israelites in the north escaped to the south, to Judah, when Israel was destroyed. How else<lid we get the books of Amos and Hosea?) And what about Eldad haDani? This 9th century mer chant, traveler, and teller of tales, said he belonged to an African kingdom of Jews of the tribes of Dan, Naphtali, Gad, and Asher. Ast<Huahing! These are precisely the tribes descended from Bilhah and Zilpah! So now, we really ought to say, "Abraham and Sarah. Isaac and Rebecca, and Jacob and Leah and Rachel and Bilhah and Zilpah." Or is that a little too much of a good thing? But if we don't say it that way, Irhat if the descendants of those two too much neglected foremothers resign from our synagogues and form their own? That's what good Jews have always done. So we can expect K"k Bnai Vilhau u'Vnai Silpah synagogues to spring up all over the land! Blessed are the orthodox, who arc free of all these Ifyou don't pivc an incli, liiov won't demand a mile! worries! Our Sidrah begins with "Pinhas son of Eleazar the son of Aaron the Priest..." If naming fathw and grandfather is so important, shouldn't we name the grandmothers, Bilhah and Zilpah? And once again I repeat: I'm only kidding, only hav ing a jesting fantasy.

Jewish Press changes Effective next month, a number of changes will be made in publishing the Omaha Jewish Press. We are changing from a cut-and-paste operation to make-up by computer. This changeover will present us with opportunities for saving money, but at the same time we will be losing some flexibility. There will be some noticeable changes in the looks of ~ the paper, but a complete makeover will not take place immediately. The principal change in operations will be in deadlines. In order to make up pages throughout the week rather than all at once, we need all of our news and advertising clients to observe deadlines. We need to know ad sizes by Wednesday for the following week's paper, and news articles must be in our office by Thursday for the following week's paper. At least in the beginning, unti] we have some experience with the new system, there can be no exceptions. This change is part of our ongoing effort to use our operating funds wisely and to keep abreast of the rapidly changing technology in the industry. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

By Ruth E. Gruber , GLOGOWEK, Poland (JTA)—Local authorities in this small town in southern Poland near the Czechoslovak border expect to begin work this month to restore the devastated Jewish cemetery and arrange for a memorial plaque to be placed on the building that once was the town's synagogue, "We hope to begin work on restoring the cemetery in the this month," the town's mayor, Jan Borsutzki, said in an interview. "We want to make sure we do it right, so we are examining just how to go a^ut it," he said. To this end, he said, the
town had made contacts with Jewish community leaders in Berlin, as well as. with experts from Israel and Warsaw. "We also want to build a monument at the cemetery," he said. About 18 Jewish families lived in Glogowek before World War II. At that time, the town was in Silesian territory that belonged to Germany. Its German name ia Oberglogau. The Jewish cemetery, just outside town, was devastated during the war and ahandoned afterward. It is totally overgrown with shrubs, vines and trees, with many of the tombstones uprooted.

Hard^fought freedom By Ruth Erman A typical Fourth of July in Omaha is filled with good feelings as famihes and friends come together to celebrate our nation's birthday. Rarely, however, do we seriously contemplate the meaning of this day. While on the Omaha Spring Mission, 1 was exhilarated by the intensity with which Israel celebrates Independence Day. The observance commences with Yom Ha'Zikaron, or Memorial Day, when the nation comes together to mourn its fallen soldiers. It is a time to commemorate young lives lost; it is a time to set aside differences and to share the grief. What a price this country has paid for independence. But with the sunset comes Yom Ha'atzma'ut when Israelis celebrate their good fortune. With joyous abandon, they revel in their hard-fought freedom. What a special experience it was for me to party along with the Israelis. 1 shared in their sense of community and singularity of purpose, in their feelings of pride and joy and in their knowledge that peace is delicate and tenuous.

An invitation Here we are in the heat of summer and while others are pursuing seasonal activities, we at the Jewish Press office are busily engaged in preparing our New Year issue. This year, we are focusing on college students, graduates, and those of college age to find out where they are, what they are doing, and, perhaps, their ideas for the future. Naturally, because of logistics and limited resources, we are unable to contact all who should be contacted. Thus, this column is being utilized to let all of coUegeage (whatever that might be) to contact us directly. Don't be a stranger. If you haven't heard from us by now, please feel free to drop a note, letter, or article to the office at 333 South 132nd Street, Omaha, NE 68154.

Times editor remains steadfast

London Jewish Guronkk LONDON (JTA)-The embattled editor of the Sunday Times of London, Andrew Neill, remained unrepentant this week over his controversial decision to hire one of the world's leading Holocaust revisionists, David Irving, to decipher the diaries of Nazi propagandist Josef Goebbels. In an interview with the London Jewish Chronicle, he said simply, "It's my job to get scoops." "If that means upsetting people, I'm sorry, but I have no problems sleeping at night," said Neill. He attacked the Sunday Times' competitors, particularly The Independent, which revealed Irving's role in securing the lost Goebbels diaries from a Moscow archive. He called the paper "green with envy' at being scooped by the Sunday Times and said it had decided to make "a big deal" out of the Irving "sideshow." The diaries, which are to be serialized in the paper in coming wedu, and not Irving, are the issue, according to Neill. Members of Parlianoent, Jewish leaders and Sunday Times readers disagreed.
Even members of Neill's own editorial staff expressed dismay and embarrassment at his actions, which included a substantial fee for Irving. One reader who canceled his 22-year-oId subscription this week said in a letter to Neill, "The likes of Irving require two things to hdp spread their evil beliefs: money and publicity. Your newspaper has, in one fell swoop, just done both. This, in my opinion, is unforgivable." News agents in Jewish districts of London reported a rush to cancel Sunday Times orders. Sixty subscriptions were canceled at just one shop in Hampstead Garden Suburb, a heavily Jewish district in northern London.
son, who is a member of Parliament from the Labor Party, used the controversy to call on the government to consider making Holocaust denial an offense, as is the case in several European countries. One of the strongest attacks on the Sunday Times came from a Tory member of Parliament, Sir John Wheeler, who is treasurer of the All-Party Parliamentaiy War Crimes Group. He called the paper a "sensationalist rag interested in high-profile entertainment^ regardless of the feelings and sensitivity of others." Jewish leaders were more muted in their criti-
cism. Judge Israel Finestein, president of the Board of Deputies of British Jewry, expressed "astonishment" at the employing of Irving. Meanwhile, leaders of the Union of Jewish Students vowed to become the "torchbearers" for the community. Chairman Robert Sumroy said a campaign against the Sunday Times was in the offing. Holocaust survivor Ben Helfgott, who heads the Board of Deputies Yad Vashem Committee, said only Holocaust education would destroy the likes of Irving, who seeks to "defame the memory of millions of people, not just Jews."

"the new authorities of the city of Krakow, taking responsibility after the decline of the Commimist governments," wish to "legitimate all the real estate" in the city. A similar letter was sent to Edgar Bronfman, president of the World Jewish Congress. The Polish authorities said they would particularly like to "reanimate" the old Jewish quarter, called Kazimierz. Dr. Gladyszowski asked for help in gathering "information about the people still living somewnere in the world who owned the real estate in our city or about their legal successors. "There will not be any obstacles for the person who can prove his rights to the real estate in the city," he wrote.
By GU Sedan ISTANBUL, Turkey (JTA)—A historic cycle was closed here as Israeli President Chaim Herzog visited the Neve Shalom synagogue in the heart of Istanbul. Six years ago, on Sept. 6, 1986, Palestinian terrorists burst into the building, the most important Jewish institution in Istanbul, and killed 22 Sabbath worshippers. Recently, the Jewish connnunity of some 26,000 welcomed the most senior representative of the State of Israel to where the massacre had taken place. The message sent to the terrorists was loud and clear: Not only have you achieved nothing in the terrorist attack, but the status of both Israel and the Jewish community in Turkey is now stronger than ever. Israel and Turkey this year upgraded their ties to full diplomatic relations and signed a tourism agreement. Now Herzog was visiting the country, meeting with both President Turgut Ozal and Prime Minister Suleyman Demirel. Although it was not an official state visit, Demirel later told Herzog that in his view, it was a state visit for all intents and purposes. HELPI

^n Evening of Enchantment at
By Mary Fellman Can we talk? In the. style of Joan Rivers, a comedian 1 am not, but let's talk about the great variety of kosher food that is available in Omaha this summer. Maybe you don't know it, but the same type of corned beef, pastrami, turkey, and other variety of kosher sandwiches that are available in the big cities, are available right here in Omaha at the Kosher Pickle. You can enjoy a quick lunch there (across from Baker's on 132nd and Colter streets) with coleslaw and potato salad and a dehdous dill pickle... or you can buy such a sandwich now at the JCC canteen area Monday-Friday (11 a.m.-l p.m.), or Sunday you can do the same by the pool area starting June 19. If you are looking for a party tray for a small or large group, you'U love then- beautifully arranged, delicious offerings in that area, too. Give them a try! And if you are looking for a quick, deUdous dessert fffl- Shabbat dinnra- (pareve, if you wish), the Village Bak-. ery has a large array of easy-to-serve ddidous cakes and tortes and wonderfully delicious cookies in all shapes and forms. They are over in the 87th and Padfic area. You'll love their Challah and other breads, rolls and coffee cakes, too. Of course, you know how good the Bagel Bin bagels are, but have you tried the bagels in the store with a dehdous topping for lunch? Don't forget about the deUdous health breads that can be found now in some of the supermarkets and health stores that are made by the Golden Grains of Wheat bakery under our supervision, too. (Offut Air Force Base has discovered them and so have others. How about you?) There's an dd 8a}ring in New York that you don't have to be Jewish to like rye bread. My comment is that you don't have to eat only kosher food to like kosher food, espedally when it can be so goodi And when you are thinking of a dessert for Shabbat dinners or just to have in the freezer, remember MOcha Mix (pareve 'ice cream') available in some of the supermarket freezers in a variety of flavors. Just a reminder... if you are having an organizational luncheon, or meeting, or planning something big for this fall, all these businesses and the Vaad are available to work with you to make your event 'kosher' ... We even have 90 sets of kosher qeat dishes available for loan to you if you are planning a major event at a hotel or such a place that we can 'kasher' (make kosher). Let us hear from you if we can be of assistance. We're a lucky Jewish community with the great variety of kosher foods available at the above-mentioned busineases under our supervision, and the great variety of foods also in the supermarkets. They could all use your buflinesal Enjoy your eating this summer... and try one of these redpes, tool And plan to serve Herman's Nuts at any time (they're kosher, too, and very good).

Earlybird chairman Sam Rosenstein kicked off the group's bi-weekly analyzation of the woes of the world and opened the floor to our divergent ideas of how to remedy them. Funny thing, whenever we reconvene, dther the previous problems are still with us or new ones have joined the throng. In keeping with the "Gay 'SQs" dimate, we were treated to a picnic-style buffet, under the supervision of Amy Potash and her beautiful volunteer balaboostehs. The lyrics "Once in love with Amy... always in love with Amy," are so apropos. Guest speaker was Dr. H. Perrin Garsombke, professor and chairman of UNO's Department of Accounting. Dr. Garsombke recdvpd a grant from the United States Iqformation Agency to prepare an artide on the changes occurring in Romania since the switch from Communism to a marketing economy.

Patient permitted to end support
Imaginative art The JCC K-2nd-grader8 of Camp Chaverim are currently displaying their handiworks in the JCC's Gallery. The art projects were constructed from a variety of recylccble materials and fashioned into mosaics, weavings, coUages, and an elaborate 'Gotham City.' Teacher Carol Greenberg said that the exhibit represents "a tremendous accomplishment" and that "we wanted the entire community to share in the children's wonderful creations." Above, are flrst-graders, from left; Ben Epstein, Ryan Blumldn, Ben Gerber, Jennifer Finkle, Sosha Skulsky and Brittany Suldennik.
By Hugh Orgel TELAVIV(JTA)-Ina decision widely welcomed by the medical profession, a Tel Aviv District Court judge affirmed the wishes of an Alzheimer disease victim not to be linked to a life-support system. Judge Moshe Talgat ruled that Miriam Zadok, who is in the terminal stages of the disease at a nursing home, should receive only "normal" medical treatment to relieve pain and discomfort. He ruled out the use of mechanical means to keep her alive. The judge acted in compliance with the patient's wishes! expressed in a tape-recording made two years ago, and in consultation with her physician. Dr. Ya'acov Assaf. The doctor described Zadok as virtually comatose and without capacity to
help herself and said he was already treating her along the lines ordered by the court. He said the small nursing home did not possess mechanical life-support systems. Therefore, the doctor said, he would continue to administer intermittent oxygen to help his patient breath. Continuous oxygen was barred by the court. Zadok is being fed in< travenously to prevent starvation and dehydration. NAMED CHAIRWOMAN NEW YORK (JTA)Reese Feldman of Tenafly, N.J., immediate past president of Women's American ORT, has been named chairwoman of the Leadership Conference of National Jewish Women's Organizations.
