Beth El's $300,000 used for mortgage The $300,000 Congregation Beth El received last week for the sale of its old building has been used to reduce the mortgage on its new building. Sanford Friedman, congregation president, said the mortgage, on the new property now is less than $100,000 and that this figure is better than what had been prqjected. Mr. Friedman said also that althou^ a "significant dumber of pledges" have not yet been forthcoming, Beth E!I is in a *very sound financial condition.* He explained that the congregation has started a baaed budgeting'system whi£h will allow expand-.

U.N. asks Israel to join forces By Gil Sedan and Hugh Orgel JERUSALEM (JTA) — Israel has been asked to send military personnel to Croatia and Bosnia-; Herzegovina to serve in U.N. peacekeeping forces. It is the first time the international body has ever asked Israel to send its military oh an international peacekeeping mission, although such forces have often been sent to this region to monitor Israeli-Arab ceasefires. Senior Foreign Ministry ofiBdals met to discuss the legal and defense implications of the request before replying to the U.N. appeal. A letter was sent to all U.N. missions on Aug. 3 asking for their participation in the 15,000-strong U.N. Prot^tion Force, which is operating in the former Yugoslav republics of Croatia and Bosnis-Henegovina, according to the IsraeU Mission at the United Nations in New York. But this is the first tipte the Jewish state was specifically invited to join other U.N.'m«m)Mr nations in contributing personnel to a peaoelraaping effort
By Larry Yudelson NEW YORK (JTA)— In what may be an early vote of confidence by American Jews for Israel's new Labor government, the United Jewish Appeal says it raised more money at a dinner with Yitzhak Rabin than at any other campaign event in its history. Participants at the meeting with the Israeli prime minister pledged a total of $67.3 million to the continuing Operation ^xoduB campaign to finance the immigration and absorption of Jews from Ethiopia, the former Soviet Union and elsewhere in Eastern Europe. A UJA spokesman refused to say how many people attended the event, citing fears that anti-Semitism would be stimulated if it was known just how many fewer than a hundred Jews it took to raise $67.3 million. Both the co-chairmen of the event, Charles Bronfman, CO- chairman of the Seagram Co., and Leslie Wexner, founder and president of The Limited chain of c|othing stores, are billionaires. The new pledges repre=sent the second phase of the Operation Exodus campaign, which had been opened in early 1990 with a similar high-level fund-raising event, which brought in $66.1 milUon. At that time. Operation Exodus was conceived as a three-year, $430 million campaign to bring in the roughly 200,000 Soviet > immigrants then being expected.
• The target has now grown to $1 billion, reflecting in part the unexpected cost of the mass airlift of more than 14,000 Ethiopian Jews, the arrival of more than 400,000 Jews from the former Soviet Union and the expectation that as many 600,000 are still to come. The pledges read off in the presence of Rabin brought the total raised by Operation Elxodus pa0t the $800 million mark. More than half of that, $435 million, has been received as cash. Earlier, a meeting between the prime minister and 40 top leaders of the State of Israel Bonds campaign enabled that organization to trot out its own set of encouraging figures. . The Bonds organization told Rabin that worldwide sales for this year have 80 far passed $750 million, or roughly the amount brought in during all of 1989.

Parashat Ekev A most ingenious paradoxl The very first words of our Sidrah (x>nfi:x>nt us with one of the persistent themes of Deuteronomy, a theme that continues constant in the prophetic literature that follows. Stated simply, it a£finns a justice in the world that rewards virtue and punishes wickedness. EKEVI In consequence of this road of life, reward; in consequence of the other road, punishment. Later in the book, Moses, the incomparable preacher, says,. Choose Lifel Indeed, why should anyone choose anything else, choose any wrong path, choose sinfulness? The problem is that human beings are laden down with freedom of the will, the right to choose and the burden to make choices. If human beings do not have the abihty to make choices, where is the justice in punishing them for wrong choices? A Calvinist story has it that a young boy interrupted his father, who was spanking him for some inli-action or other. "Wait a minute. Dad! The minister says that all our actions are predestined! I was predestined to break that wdndow!" The father paused only a moment, before replying, "And I was predestined to spank you!" Judaism never accepted predestination. It insisted always on the obligatioh of the human being tti choose. Consequently, he is responsible. Therefore he may be rewarded or punished. This is the way interpreters usually have under• stood the famous dictum attributed to Rabbi Akiba: Although God knows all, knows everything in advance, nonetheless each human being has the right to make choices. How else can we speak of morality? A Talmudic statement has it thatvGod controls (Bverything—expept the right of human beings to revere Him or not to revere Him! All of this is in the nature of paradox. I'm reasonably sure that Gilbert, in the "Pirates of Penzance", never heard of Rabbi Akiba or the dght to revere God or not. But how it fit^ our puzzlement. When his character chortles, "A paradox! A paradox! A most ingenious paradox!" And, finally, here's another way of stating the paradox; If we are to have morality, with human'beings responsible for their actions, if we are to assume that human beings are not bound by .lome inner compulsions to do the things they do, if we are to a.HSume that human beings are not "programmed" by forces beyond their coritrol lo act in some precise manner, then we have to .affirm freedom of the will a.s a standard human'attribute. The paradox thus takes shape in this form: We have to believe in freedom of the will. We have no choice!

Bush touts Jewish Issues record
Editorial By Morris Malinc
Color-blind Judaisrh I and you, no doubt, have been traumatized in recent weeks by the graphic images on television. The faces of starving children and bone-thinned adults crawling in search of food in war-torn Somalia is just beyond belief. Ekiually unbelievable are the images of civilians running for their lives as snipers take aim at anything moving in what used to be known as Yugoslavia.' Jewish organizations and their spokesmen are try' ing to get the attention of American leaders to do something to stop the violence, to stop the waste of life. I, for one, cannot ignore the television pictures. The sight of bugs streaming into the eyes and ears of helpless, bloated children and the look of death in the feces of the elderly is too much to take. Jews, particularly, have a special sense of familiarity with such graphic pictures of the living dead. We have the Holocaust to confirm that the madness of men can be the instrument of death for millions of innocent victims. A few days ago, I happened to tune in C SpEin on television and caught a brief comment by Sen. Tom Lantos. He pointed out the difference in awareness between the time of the Holocaust some 50 years ago and the present-day atrocities taking place in various parts of the world. The widespread availability of television, he said, is bringing instant information to the populations of the world. The Gulf War certainly demonstrated that real time. battles could attract the attention of the pubUc. That was two. years ago and represented mostly'good news for the good guys. What we are seeing now on television news day after day is imbelievably bad. There are no secrets anymore. With this as background, one can appreciate the good feeling I experienced as I looked at the photos in the Gallery of the Jewish Community Center. The photos were taken by Omahans who participated in Missions to .Israel with the help of the Jewish Federation. One photo in particular caught my eye because the central figure is a black child who not too long ago was facing nothing but the worst in far-off Ethiopia. He was rescued and welcomed to his Jewish homeland. Today, that healthy, eager youngster is facing a Ufe df promise and hope in Israel. Contrast the beautiful future of this black child in Israel with the certain hopelessness and doom in the days ahead for those black children in Somalia. Now, you know why this editorial was written. My silent prayer thanks the Almighty for the existence of Israel and for Judaipm — the color blind religion.

By Cynthia Mann States Newa Service WASHINGTON (JTA) — Flush with the success of meetings with Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, President Bush made the case for his leadership to a dozen members of the Jewish press he called to the White House. The amicable roundtable discussion, called before the Republican convention, seemed a transparent effort to woo the support of American Jews who have been alienated by the Bush administration's hardline posture toward Israel and seeming in-sensitivity to its supporters. Bush professed deep regret that his criticism of the pro-Israel lobby on loan guarantees last September aroused widespread anger, sajring his remarks were misunderstood and that he had" apologized.' He also accused Democratic presidential nominee Bill Clinton of "mischaracterizing" those remarks to "obfuscate a good record on the Middle East." Clinton has said Bush questioned the right of Jewish Americans to lobby for a cause they hold dear. "I never would have said that, and if a single person was offended, I feel badly," said Bush.' "Everyone has a right to petition, and I have a right to stand up for what I believe iiL" And while the president acknowledged there had been strains in the U.S.-Israeli relationship, he said he did not understand the source of Jewish mistrust of him when it comes to Israel. '. He said hi's entire record of accomplishments in the area was solid and should be examined. "I had to do what I thought was right (on Israel), and (.hat was in conflict with the pre'vious administration," he explained. But Bush pointed with evident satiafaction tu the agreement he had announced earlier to provide Israel with guaran tecs for up to $10 billion in loans. The president said, he was pleaaed to "aee through What I began." He.alao cited U.S. diplomacy that hat advanced the Middle East peace proceaa, brought about the repeal of the UN. Qeneral Aaaembly resolution brandUig Zionism aa rnrlHm, nnd hi'Itx-d en 11 thr munity. Ha pledged to use the same diplomatic preaaure to prod the Arab parties to "respond in kind* to the oommitmoiit of the new Israeli government to the peace prooaaa, including taking
steps to end the Arab boycott. The president also highlighted U.S. strategic cooperation with Israel during the Persian Gulf War and U.S efforts to get Jews out of the former Soviet Union and Ethiopia. Though he said he had been "meticulous" about not interfering in Israel's internal politics, it was clear he was delighted by the rapport he established with Rabin during the newly elected Israeli prime minister's visit to Bush's Maine vacation home. "We hit it off ptetty well, very well," said the president. "I like what he
stands for and what he said." Bush did not dispute the suggestion that he was out of step with the mcyority of Jews on such issues as school prayer and abortion rights. But he said that, aside from Israel, there are other areas of agreement. "If these are the only issues, I can understand why I don't get a m^ority of votes, I wouldn't have a case," said Bush, who won less than 30 percent of the Jewish vote in 1988. "But I have stood up against anti-Semitism and hate crimes," he said. He said he also shared Jewish families' concern for safe neighborhoods-
and strong.anti-crime measures. Later in the discussion, he added that the elimination of the threat of nuclear war was also common ground. "The Jewish community and the WASP community," he said, with a smile, "all have children that used, to go to bed afraid" of nuclear war. That is no longer the case, he said. Returning to Middle East policy. Bush said the United States has an active role to play in mediating the conflict between Israel and Syria.

However, those individuals who are adopting Russian families and helping them find employment are truly doing the ultimate mitzvah. These people are the real heroes!

Stiffer sentence for hate monger By Gary Pogrow VANCOUVER, British Columbia (JTA) — The Alberta provincial government is seeking a stiffer sentence against a convicted hatemonger, Jim Keegstra, whose malice is directed toward ' Jews. The former schoolteacher and mayor of the small Alberta town of
Eckville was fined $3,000 last month for wilfully promoting hatred against an identifiable group. The government's appeal says that the fine imposed by the trial judge is not enough to deter others or Keegstra from violating the law. This was Keegatra's second conviction on the same charges.

Guarantees greeted with mixed reviews By Gil Sedan JERUSALEM (JTA) — Finance Minister Avraham Shohat sighed with relief when President Bush came out in support of the long-awaited loan guarantees. But in other quarters, the reaction was more mixed. Some economists expressed concern that the funds would actually hurt the economy; the Palestinians could not decide whether the deal was good for the Arabs; and the opposition Likud charged that unnecessary concessions were made in exchange for the guarantees. Economic skeptics such as David Boaz, former head of the budget division at the Treasury, said guarantees were important only in the context of a projected one million immigrants over the next five years. But with the sharp decline in aliyah, they argue, the money may end up being spent on consumption rather than infrastructure, refueling the inflation that has

NEW YORK (JTA) — After 70 years of religious intolerance under communism, the Jews of the former Soviet Union are free to express their Judaism. For some of Moscow's Jews, this freedom signals the coming of the Messiah. About 400 Jews gathered in Red Square recently to attend a march and a rally "to bring an awareness of the imminent coming of Mashiach to the broad masses," said Rabbi Shmuel Butman, chairman of the International Campaign to Bring Mashiach, a Lubavitch organization in New York. The Mashiach Campaign, founded last year to hasten the coming of the Messiah, organized the event in a joint effort with Lishkas Ezras Achim, a Jewish group that has been active in the former Soviet Union for nearly three decades. Signs hailing the Messiah's arrival were hung in strategic points around Moscow — overlooking the Kremlin, in firont of the Russian Parliament and by the Lenin Library. "You could not help but feel that Mashiach is really on the way," said Yossi Malamud, an American rabbinical student who organized the effort in Moscow.
