Court rejects appeal TORONTO (JTA) — Jewish organizations here are pleased with the decision by Canada's Supreme Court to reject a bid by convicted Dutdi Nazi war criminal Jacob Luitjens to appeal a denaturalization order. The ruling removes the last hurdle before a deportation hearing, which will be held on Oct. 13 in Vancouver. "Rie court did not explain its ruling, but revocation of dtizenship is not usuidly appealable under Canadian law. Luitjens, a 73-year-old retired University of British Columbia botany instructor, was stripped of his Canadian citizenship last November by a Cabinet order after a federal court ruled in October that he had knovnngly concealed his past Nazi ties when he inunigrated to Canada in 1961 and again when he applied for dtizenship 10 years later.

By Rabbi Myor S. Ktinko Parashat VaYelekh — Mankind may repent Nature never does. It is rather Unusual that our Sidrah, VaYeleh, is not joined to the one preceding, Nizavira. Actually Nizavim is closer to the theme of repentance, the idea of Shabbat Shuvah, than our own Sidrah is. Whether the Sidrot are joined or not, however, the Haftarah for the day emphasizes the theme of repentance. In fact, though, it is apparent to us all that the very atmosphere alone leads us to think deeply on this Shabbat that links Rosh ha Shanah and Yom Kippur, to think deeply in terms of the grand themes of these holiest of Holy Days. What is the miycr point of these themes? It is that repentance is the key to moral excellence. This m^or point is derived from Deuteronomy — the very book of Torah we have been reading — and the prophetic books that stress these themes. The m^or point is that mankind has an attribute that is unique in all that exists. Nature, for example, is one-directional. We have had recent experience with Hurricane Andrew, and'we still smart from it. We have learned to track the hurricane and to some extent to predict its path. We cannot stop it. U is mindless, aimless, and purposeless. It is neither pleased nor sorrowful that ita aimless power brings so much destruction and so much tragedy. Mankind has a different kind of power, a power that can lead also to infinite tragedies and mindless destruction on a huge scale. The machine gun was thou^t by some to herald the end of warfare, because war would now be too horrible to contemplate! How we have progressed — now to nuclear power and biological annihilation of whole populations! Nothing is too horrible to contemplate. But mankind, Shabbat Shuvah tells us, need not be one-directional. Mankind may turn in repentance! Shuvah! Means Turn! Turn about! Change your ways! Turn and return to your God and His wt^ys! Humanity ' is not lost; nor are you and I, we tine segments of humanity. Mankind may return, and individuals, you and I, may return. Nothing but our stubbornness impedes us. Our stubbornness and our acquisitiveness and our belligerence and our hatreds. Repentance is open to us, and Yom Kippur beckons to us, calls us and attempts to help us reach our highest selves. Yom Kippur, and Shabbat Shuvah which heralds it, strive to turn us on to the path of human betterment, the path of the righteous. Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the year for Jews, is not limited to Jews in its appeal. It hopes for the day when better Jews, morally, and better human beings, morally, will put an and ^ hostiUties, to warfare, to hatreds and enmities. It holds out the hope that mankind is not finished but may yet be improved. It insists that individii may yet rise to be righteous men and women, and that nations may yet rise to be God's peopl^, with His blessings lavishly and lovingly spread out to reach aU His children.

Ah, sweet memories
P
ThB sky waa cloudy and there was a fall chill in the air. The chill of the twilight penetrated my worn knickers as I sat on the cement steps of a tenement in New York City. I couldn't wait for my grandmother to set her pushcart aside so that we could chmb the many flights to her flat and have some hot water with sugar. This memory of my toddler years has stuck with me and is one of the few recollectjons that I have of my mother's mother (may she rest in peace). Yet, the memory is vivid, reactivated earher this week when I strolled through the current exhibit at the Jewish Community Center, A remarkable collection, by any measure, the exhibit offers memories galore of Jewish North 24th Street in Omaha. Here are photos and stories of the merchants and stores of that period along with artifacts dating back 50 years and more. There also are bimahs, arks, pews and other selections from the synagogues of that nei^borhood — long gone, but obviously not forgotten. And when I speak of items from the synagi)gues, these are not reproductions, but the actual religious items that worshipers utilized more than a half century ago. All have been carefully maintained and stored by the Nebraska Jewish Historical Society, the sponsors of the exhit)it. The foresight and perseverance of the Society has made it possible for the Omaha Jewish community to refresh and revitalize itself by participating,in living history — a choice opportunity for those who actually patronized North 24th and for those relative newcomers who only have heard about that famous Jewish neighborhood. " Our hate are off to those who made the exhibit possible: The Herbert Goldsten Trust, Audrey and Joe Kirahenbaum for their gift honoring Dora and Meyer Kirshenbaum, Myrna and Kevee Kirahenbaum and One Hour Photo for their gift of reproduction and enlargemente of exhibit photographs, liana Marmon, special projecte coordinatl)r, Nate and Doris Shukert, Kosher Deli coordinators, Mary Fellman, Jean Ann Krupinsky, Dottie Rosenblum, Susan Silver and all of the scores of volunteers who helped bring North 24th Street to life. The pushcart on exhibit did not belong to my grandmother, but 1 feel a kinship to it just the same. The exhibit ends Oct. 30.

Jewish groups plan Letters to the editor aid for Somalia A coalition of leading national Jewish organizatioiu has joined with Abie Nathan, the Israeli humanitarian, in a dramatic effort to help build a tent dly in northeast Kenya to house and feed 20,000 starving refugees from drought-ridden Somalia across the border. The project will seek financial support from the American Jewish community and the people of Israel. It has received the endorsement of the United Nations and the Kenya government. The cost of the project is estimated at $1 million. The sponsoring American Jewiah groups, call-
ing themselves the Jewish Coalition for Somali Refugee Relief, are: the American Jewish Committee, American Jewish Congress, American Jewish World Service, Anti-Defamation League, B'nai B'rith International, Mazon: A Jewish Response to Hunger, National Jewish Community Relations Advisory Council, Union of American Hebrew Congregations and United Synagogue of America. Contributions should be sent to the Joint Distribution Committee for Somali Relief, 711 Third Avenue, New York, NY 10017.

ToOieEditor: If anyone wonders how our Jewish communities react when there's a crisis, you can stop wondering. Within 24 hours after Hurricane Andrew strudi Dade County, FL, the Greater Miami Jewish Federation bought $100,000 worth of food, water and supplies and sent it to the Alper Jewish Community Center which became« Red Cross shelter. I had the privilege of woridng at the JCC on Sunday, September 13 when I came to Miami to help my family. My relatives are the lucky ones, "niough my brother and sister-in-law lost their home (their roof collapsed during the hurricane while they were barricaded in the bathroom), they have insurance and have moved in with my mother. The families who came to the Alper JCC is South Dade lost everything. One young woman sobbed the whole time she walked down the lines picking up food, paper goods and personal care items. "Tve never had to do this before, but we lost otir home, our jobs, even our cars." The shelter was operated by volunteers who drove down from Boca Raton on their days off work, by men and women who were victims of the wrath of the storm and by out-of-towners like myself who had come to help their own famiUes. Other volunteers maimed the phones day and night, tracking down families, the elderly, singles and others to ask "Are you okay? Do you need anything? Tlie Jewish Federation is here to help." At the main Federation headquarters, volunteers and staff set up a hotline for those needing temporary shelter, cash assistance, transportation and the like. Thousands of meals were deUvered to elderly residente who were without water and electricity, some.for as long as 3 1/2 weeks. I'm proud of the work that our Federations do, whether it's in Omaha or Miami. If you'd like to help the citizens of Miami pick up the pieces of their lives, you can send your chwk to the Greater Miami Jewish Federation Hurricane Relief Fund, 4200 Biscayne Blvd., Miami, FL, 33137. Now I know. When a crisis comes, the Jewish community comes together. Carol Katsnum

editor of Israel's secondlargest newspaper. Margalit is leaving Ma'ariv six months after being appointed to th6 post by the Nimrodi family, which purchased the paper from the estate of the late British magnate Robert Maxwell. In an interview' with Israel Radio, he blamed excessive intervention in the daily running of the paper by Ofer Nimrodi, who holds the posts of executive editor and Ma'ariv board chairman. Staffers have complained that the business activities of the Nimrodi family are given excessive prominence in the columns of the newspaper.
To the Editor: "It depends." Two simple words with a very important meaning for Jews. As the rabbis who participated in the NCJW/BBYO forum on Judaism, Sexuality and Abortion explained, whether or not abortion is permitted under Jewish law depends on the circumstances of the particular case. There is no one answer to this complex question. It is for that reason that both NCJW and BBYO, along with countless other Jewish organizations, have take pro-choice stances with respect to the abortion issue. It is not, as some would argue, because we are pro-abortion, but rather because our reUgion teaches that there are certain drcumatances when abortion is permitted, and in fact may even be mandated, and because those situations must be determined on a case-by-case basis and not as abstract hypotheticals. On behalf of NCJW and BBYO, we thank the seven rabbis — Mark Urkowits, Elliot Marmon, Mendel Katzman, Allan Gonsher, Paul Drazen, Sidney Brooks, and Aryeh Atriel — who participated in our forum. They helped us understand that sometimes two words ^ — "it depends" are better than a yes or no answer. Sara A. Juater NCyW SUte Public Affairs ComraittM

tournament in Dublin, Ohio. "Entering the last game we were 12 and 0," Tony said. "CaHfomia had to beat us twice to win the championship.". California won and Tony said his team was devastated.

He's trying out for the varsity this year but he says he doubts if he will make it. "The team will be made up mostly of seniors this year.

. Regardless of when you road this, I expect well be someplace in the network of holidays. As I write it, 1 know I'll be accused of sacrilege, or at the very least improper usage of language. But I still have to wonder if there is another explanation of the words DAYS of AWE, in addition to the very solenu one we all know. The Jewish women who are in charge of making preparations for the season which begins with Roish Hashonah will understand. No matter how strictly or how loosely the kitchen rulis are observed, these are awesome days! The modern woman looks back and wonders how in the world her maternal ancestors managed, in the days before the refrigeration and freezers became fixtvures in every kitchen. We KNOW how they managed - with seemingly endless, back-breaking, standing-on-the-feet all day, shvitzing from the hot ovens and steamy kettles labor, that's how. Today's women are so fortunate to have all the mechanical help available, but it still isn't a snap. Afler all, look how many work outside the home; these are the saune balaboostas who use evening and weekend hours to prepare and freeze. To be honest, I could, with an hours notice, feed 12 or 14 people
home-made chicken soup with kreplach...it's already in the freezer. The more I think about it, the more I'd believe the home freezer was invented by a Jewish woman! And maybe a Jewish woman also thought, up the idea of that basement area where some keep an old stove and refrigerator. That was no doubt during Pesach preparations. The main kitchen was still chometz but the cooking and baking couldnt wait. Yes, I know about those ten days..!those Days of Awe. But I also know how many of us aure compulsive about doing each and every traditional thing, because "^t's yomtov". It's important the memories we all have about holidays include those crowded tables, laden with goodies and marvelous treats. Well kids, that food doesn't cook without somebody first shopping, shlepping, cleaning, trimming, cooking, watching and finally serving. Mind you, I don't deny the mixture of satisfaction and pleasure the Mama feels when she looks around that table. But it still represents an awesome undertaking. And when the last crumbs from the honey cake and mandel bread have been cleared away, she'll hardly notice the sticky place on the "gopd" tablecloth where the honey was spilled. She'Ujustkvell.
Between Teens By Jo Carroll Happy Birthday! Each one of you will have a birthday this year. Since I dont thin^ Vm the perfect age this year, 1 wondered what you thought the perfect age was. Jeremy Friedman told me he thought the perfect age was 16. "I can drive a car then," he said. Jeremy's ideal car for that first drive would be a Corvette convertible. "But I'll probably be driving something a lot cheaper and smaller," he said. Jeremy, 14, attends Westude Middle School. Debbie Givner agreed that 16 was the perfect •ft. "111 be able to drive thMi,* she said. D«bbie will take driver'a education cliwi at Burke in January in order to get her license. "I'd like to drive a new black Masda sports car, Ihi) kind in all the magaitnee," ah* said.
However, Debbie said she would settle for a used car. "Something about four years okl." David Kulakbfsky said, 1 think 25 is the perfect age. You're out of college. Xou're settled down. You don't have to worry about your life any more." David, 15, attends Burke High School. Time doesn't aeem to go iasl enough for teenagers. You want to be 16 or 25 or 18. You worry about not being old enough. Trust mo. You will be.

Treasure recovered
By David Landau JERUSALEM (JTA) — A treasure trove of Jewish ritual objects and family heirlooms, buried for safety during the Holocaust, wias restored, briefly, to its rightful owner this vieA. Rabbi Yekutiel Yehuda Halberstam, 90, the Haaidic rebbe of Klausenberg (Cluj), Romania, who now lives in Israel, was able to touch the Torah crowns, candlesticks and inscribed cutlery that weria hidden underground by his family 49 years ago. The silver artifacts : must have brought pain'; fully mixed memories to the Klausenberger rebbe, who is now bedridden and barely speaks. The objects had been buried by the rebbe's son, Chaim Zvi, who was slaughtered, along with his mother, 10 brothers [ and sisters, by the Nazis soon afterward. Only the rabbi himself survived the concentration camps and eventually remarried and had a new {JBunily. After the war, the , Klausenberger rebbe set: tied in New York, and later in Union City, N.J., ^ where he built up a new : Hasidic court and yeshi- va. , He founded Kiryat Zanz, near Netanya. in the early 1960s, one of the first such all-Hasidic quarters to be built in Israel, moving there himself in his old age. The silver treasure was unearthed by chance, during construction work ; in, Cli\j, and turned over to local authorities. They decided to house 4t.i9 the town museum, where it was recently rediscovered by a Klausenberg Hasid, who immediately identified the pieces. The cutlery is inscribed with the names of the rebbe's children; the ritual otuects are fomily heirlooms which th« rebbe brought with him when he moved from Poland to Romania.

And lota of Jewiah pride aa welL" "Lots of Jewish pride* was definitely what we came home feeling after the Omaha Spring Mission to Israel last May. But how to convey to others idl thoiie feelingB? How do I describe the senae of belonging that comes with being in a countiy whose calendar is not based on Christian holidays but Jewish ones-where an entire oountxy prepares for and celebrates Passover, Shabbot and Chanukah? Where the people of an entire nation stop what they are doing, no matter where they are when the sirens go off during Yom Hazikaron-Memorial Day-to remember their friends and loved ones who died trying to protect their homeland? Try to imagine that people Utarally stop their cars on each and every street, get out, and bow their heads in homage to their fallen. They stop cooking, or playing, or talking or moving. An entire country-a Jewish country! It's so hard to explain the feelijags I had crossing the rickety wooden bridge over the narrow Jordan River, wandering over the Golan Heights as I kwked down into the Hula Valley and kibbutzim below, land H»ni-ing the hora on a boat as it sailed across the Sea of Galilee. I discovered the true meaiung of "Ve are one" as we celebrated Shabbot at the Wall, and I loved strolling the beautiful beacheaof Tel Aviv, the cobblestones
of Jaffa, the bustling streets of Jerusalem and the ancient by-ways of the Old City-the same . places our ancestors trdcked for over 3,000 years! How do I express the exhilaration of climbing the steep snake path to the top of a tel in the middle of the desert, or the impact of the story of the zealots' stand against the Romans, except to say, with pride, that now I understand the worda, 'Masada shall not fall again.* I felt a myriad of emotions as I entered the candle-lit chamber of Yad Layeled. I listened to the unanswered roll call of the names and ages'of the njiUion and a half Jewiah children who were killed during the Holocaust. Then I came face to face with the horrors of a time not so long ago, as I wandered through Yad Vashem, the Holocaust Memorial. But those feelings of horror and disgust quickly changed to ones of hope and pride as I helped to seed the land by planting trees with my own hands on the hills overlooking Jerusalem. This was a journey-a mission of discovery, of learning and of commitment Best of all was the the sharing of these experiences with friends from our own Jewish community. Together we discovered IBTMI and its people. We M the 'Jewish priide* of knovring that we are all 'K)ne people-one destiny."

For the second year. Temple Israel will offer "Torah on Wheels," an educational opportunity for business people. Open to the community, two times each month the "Torah on Wheels" program will provide members of the business coqimunity with a respite for study. Meeting over lunch at various places of business for one hour and fifteen minutes, Rabbi Aryeh Azriel and Rabbi Dan Fink will lead the on-site adult education. Discussion will center around a section of Jewish text relating to contemporary issues such as business and personal ethics, responsibility and spirituality. No outside preparation is needed to participate and each session is independent. "Our busy sdieduJes do not always afford us the time we might like for study. With Temple's "Torah on Wheels" we hope to alleviate that by bringing the opportunity for study to the business coromttnlty," Rabbi Azriel noted. Each meeting is hosted by a different member of the Jewish community at the host's place of business, 121:15 p.m. Participants may "brown bag" lunch or order a catered lunch from Spirit World for $5. Because each meeting is limited to 20 people, reservations are needed and may be made by calling the Temple office.
A Shabbaton Retreat, June 12, 1993. will be the culminating function and will feature a day of Jewish song, study and celebration for both parents and children, according to co-chairmen Steven Chasen and Terry Fredricks.

A love of nature and concern for the environment has prompted Rabbi Dan Fink to lead "A Pre-Sukkot Shabbat Walk in the Woods," at Fontenelle Forest on Oct. 10. Participants will meet at the Fontenelle Nature Center. 1111 Bellevue Boulevard North, at 2:30 p.m. Call the nature center, 731-3140, for directions. 1 have a long interest in re-emphasizing those parts of our Jewish tradition which revel in the natural world. This 'walk in the woods' will do that, hopefully putting the participants into the relaxed frame of mind suitable for Shabbat and the approaching festival of Sukkot," Rabbi Fink said. "More than any of our holidays, Sukkot urges us to live close to the natural world. We are, after all, commanded to 'dwell' in our sukkah each day of Sukkot." Rabbi Fink noted that Jewish tradition has many blessings in praise of life and its Creator which open people's eyes to nature and are appropriate for sudt a walk. Among these blessings is one to' say on seeing beauties of nature, another blessing is said on seeing trees in blossom. There is a blessing on seeing a rainbow and one for shooting stars, electrical storms and earthquakes. Another activity Rabbi Fink antidpatea is a "Jewish nature identification game." The goal of this "game" is to create an awareness of the importance of nature and natural life in Jewish historical teitts, and to see the world around us through "Jewish" eyes, he said. The walk will not be strenuous, will last, approximately two hours and is geared to the entire family, the ralbbi noted. ' Comfortable clothing and walking shoes, and a willingness to open one's heart and mind to nature are all that the walk requires, he said and he invites the Jewish community to Join him. There is a S3.50 fee for those who are not members -of Fontenelle Forest. In the event of heavy rain and/or inclement weather, the walk will be rescheduled. Call Temple Israel, 556-6536, for information.
