The Merchant of Venice — a brewing concern By Dawna L. Robertson When 'The Merchant of Venice" ie presented in Omaha this summer, the front row audience may be advised of tlie abundant spittle expressed during the performance. Critics argue that tlie play merits a larger warning. "It's full of dynamite," said Rabbi Aryeh Azriel of Temple Israel. "Someone very talented needs to dismantle it carefully." The Merchant of Venice" is notorious for adverse stereotyping of Jews in the portrayal of the character Shylock. Scholars, Jewish or gentile, cannot agree whether the.play is about intolerance, greed and hypocrisy, or if it employs anti Semitic symbolism to portray offensive behavior. At issue are potentially offensive statements -such asi "1 should stay with the Jew, my master, who is like the devil. Certainly the, Jew is the very devil incarnation.'"—The Merchant of Venice," Act 2, Scene 2. Some communities hUve even opted to remove the play from high school curricula when anti-Semitic attacks were traced to studying of the play. Robert Urbin^ti, director for the 1993 season of the Nebraska Shakespeare Festival, attributed the control versies to the wide range of ^nt.erp|refations and the . complexity of the characterS"The anti-Spmitic issue' is only a part of what the play is about," Urbinati said. ''1 defmitely do not want to avoid that. 1 would absolutely love for people and children to see how people that are commonly per eeived as being good Christians, good people, could behave in a heinous fashion. That's important for chil ^ren to see," he said. Urbinati qualified his statement, speaking for his own production of the play. He acknowledged, "there may be other interpretations of tKe play—clearly ones done in Nazi Gepnany—1 would not think children should see." The anti^^nsorship stance recently adopted by the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith surprised some on both ^des of this controversy. 1. Robert Wolfson, director of the Plain States regional oflice of the Anti-Defamation League, said the issue of Jewish displeasure with "The Merchant oi Venice" has been raised in recent years in maoy communities. "The oflicial position of Uie ADL ia that it is opposed to censorship," Mr. Wolfk)n said "The historical record of the artistic treatiAent of The, Merchant'... demonstrates that it's both an event that can do great damage and an opportunity to trans form the play into a positiv 1 Harold W Andersen v braska ShaV i.h« group's slecision u< proJ "\\ ty to . . the eSect is to let that mdividuai or ihat group dictau the community agenda as to wh^u will U' ill>>M.,-,l to b, presented to the public," he saiJ "Some would call this fenso..,,,•>. *i..»wv.v, ,, ,^ caU«d, it vs a negation of freedom of expression," noted ^ Mr. Andersen.

Writing for The New York Times, Mr. Gross "I think here's a basic difference in talking about the said, "Invested with Shakespearean power and, in questions of pornography, racism—things hke that," he time, with Shakespearean prestige, Shylock tlie Jewish said. villain became part of world mythology." Mark Kazor, a Jewish college student at the Mr. Gross noted that Nazi Germany embraced University of Nebrjiska at Omaha, responded differentShakespeare and that "The Merchant of Venice" was ly. He said, "It's not that issues, such as pornography used in anti-Semitic propaganda programs. or racism, are different. They are equally offensive—it's just that the question is, offensive to whom?" Actor Kenneth Glenn, who is to appear in "The Merchant of Venice"'is more concerned by the possibili "It's full Of dynamite... ty of censorship. Believing that art transcends contro versial issues, Mr. Glenn said: "As an Africansomeone very talented needs to American, 1 often have problems with Shakespeare.. dismantle it carefully." he often equates evil with darkness... but the poetry and beauty of Shakespeare soars. "You have to take into consideration when it was "Nazi Germany embraced written," reminded Mr. Glenn. "We have to get beyond Shakespeare... 'The Merchant of {controversial features].

Rabbi Azriel maintained, "What needs to be explained is what led Jews to be money lenders, what led Jews to be used in this manner by the Church and "We're failing in our education if for people to realize why it is so important for the someone can't transcend a time period daughter to convert to Christianity. They wanted to c-onvert allJewsl' or a multi-racial issue." "We cannot allow outside forces to determine who we are," Rabbi Azriel concluded. Rabbi Azriel thought an analogy, to the Mapplethorpe controversy was valid. He said he believes the adage, "1 do believe ... that the ground for the Holocaust was "anything goes," is not necessarily trui?,. "The problem well prepared, and to that extent the play can i^ever is not anti-Semitism. The problem is assimilation— we've done it loo well; there's a lack of sensitivity and seem quite the same again," Mr. Gross concluded.

Marriages
By Bert Lewis
Helen Gail Kelberg and Kevin Charles Zuegner, both of Omaha, were married May 16 at Mount Vernon Gardens in Omaha. Douglas County District Judge Joseph Troia performed the ceremony. The bride, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Kelberg of Omaha, attended the University of Nebraska at Omaha. She is employed by Baker's Supermarkets. The groom, son of Rita Zuegner of Omaha and the late Charles W. Zuegner, is a graduate of Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. He is employed by the U.S. Postal Service. jflonor attendants were Patty Kassera and Michael J. Becka, both of Omaha. Alter a honeymoon trip to Puerta Vallarta, the newlyweds will live in Omaha.
I tackled a long overdue chore recently: s#*'"8 an "W collection of my favorite magazines, piblicat'ons I found too beautiful (or useful or interestiu?* ^ discard after I first read them. . This particular "inventory" had ocff^'^*' ^ seldomused cupboard, so I was just a little/h»^^i ^ realize that the collection was ten years ol/* should add these were all cooking magazines cont^i"B ""^ on'V recipes but also articles on travel, etc. I decided to sit down witl)^ ^'^^'"P scissors and my treasured pile of paper. I )»Hnned to go through each one, cut out what I want^** and discard the remainder. I didn't have to get inU very mapy before I realized how things had changed since tHose magazines were printed. For one thing, .-ecipes oft/n listed "eight eggs" or "three sticks of Gutter" or maybe "two cups of oil for deep frying." J don't give this kind of food the time of day, never ipind room ir my B^e! I soon realized this-'hore would be easier than I first thought. There we^'^ still nice articles and gorgeous illustrations, but "ho cooks like that anymore? Better yet, who EATS'il'e that anymore? Once in a while, a treat maybe, Jut most of us hardly remember what it was like. The gvd news is that the chore didn't take nearly as long a'- I'd thought it would (and I didn't cringe as I tossi^ magazines into the wastebasketl; the bad news? • It Slew my usual philosophy that "there's nothing new »nder the sun." Wrong. There have been many updated notions regarding nutrition, cooking and eating. The grebenes we reflnember, the egg-filled kugels, the sour cream-laden goodies now belong in the past tense — that is, if we believe the experts. I try to be sensible, and I'm a believer, but there are times when it's really a sacrifice. The recent Shavuos holiday is an example. Everybody knows this is one time when milchig is the order of the day. And milchig means dairy. And most dairy is right up there at the top of the no-no list. How is somebody supposed to make blintzes or kugel or borscht or cheese knishes without generous u^age of the forbidden? 1 suppose moderation and substitutes are the answer, but something else has occurred to me.. Remember my fancy cooking magazines? How come I've never seen any of those in the ethnic category? Of course there are kosher and Jewish-style cookbooks, but how about gourmet magaiineis devoted to our haimisha dish»? It s just an idea, and a bigger prqject than I could handle, but-I'd love to p^irticipate if somebody else wants to publish, i can just see a gorgeous cover, illusIrating a heaping bowl of kasha and varnishkes, tsimmes aiid a chaUah you can almost smell. Let's see, the title 'Bon Appetit' is already taken ..we could call it "Ess Mine Kind ' Not good? Dant worry, well think of something. V •

COMMENTARY: SHAVUOT: Are freedom and obligation compatible? By Irving Gre«nberg NEW YORK (JTA) - Marching toward Sinai, as the days out of Egypt lengthened into weeks, how did the Israelites feel? D;d they run ahead, like school children suddenly released for the summer, exhilarated by the knowledge there -would be nothing to do and no obligations for days to come? The Talmud guesses that the Hebrews' initial-worries (no food, no water) were followed by a much deeper concern. They were suddenly discovering the behavioral limits put on them as free men. The slaves were powerless tp prevent the masters from taking their wives and daughters sexually or frtim selling their families whenever it suited the ownei's' will or whim. But the atmosphere of-sexual exploitation turned into promiscuous sex and opportunistic coupling in the slave quarters. Powerlessness and inability to protect their family responsibly created a psychology of irresponsibility in the victims — in labor, in love, in family ties. So it came as a shock — it generated a certain sense of deprivation — to learn of the tradeoffs of liberty. Now that they were free, no ehe would molest their family — but their days of casual sex and parental abandonment ^ere also over. In the slave's fantasy, when freedom comes there will be no more obligations or restrictions. But Shavuot reminds us that liberty is not to be conC\H)KI\(1 with the help of cooking and entertaining books from the Bookwonm. Whether you like to cook or look shop the Bookworm.

fused with lawlessness. Liberty is the right to choose my obligations; it is the right to commit on the basis of my own love and will, not by someone else's imposition. But liberty exercised leads to obligations, and the God who liberated Israel tells/commands them to act properly taward God, themselves and others. 7 Disturbed by this apparent divine restriction of freedom, Martin Buber insists that.there is no revelation of law at Sinai — or ever. True revelation, argues Buber, is in the encounter of an I and a Thou, of God and the human being. God reveals God's Self, not God's law. The law is a human . imposition, a way of avoiding freedom by fixing all courses of action. But even if the Buberian distinction between Self and Law were viable, it would be false. The love of spouse, family, friends — as of God and country — is not a disembodied emotion existing separately from taking care of them, remembering their birthday or our joint anniversary, thinking about them, acting like them. To know the other, let alone to bond to the other, is to accept all sorts of restrictions and obligations for the sake of the other. The transition from slavery to freedom is also the transition from immaturity to maturity. If I cling to non- responsibility, I am really clinging to slavery. Thus, the free person gets up earlier, works harder, takes on more commitment. The famUy is a perfect example of the obligations of fre^om.'Helationships cannot happen without binding one's self; this means accepting restrictions for the sake of the other. Every person has a choice: To love and marry or not, to become a parent and caretaker or not. But if freedom is exercised not to relate, then one never becomes a lover or a parent Then one's life and freedom are impoverished. _ If one chooses to love or relate, then the commitment generates obligations. Then one's life and freedom are changed. The relationship cannot endure if I resent the restrictions or demand the right to start anew, without obligations, every week. The same holds true in relationship to God. Freedom gives a person the right to accept the covenant or not. But if one rejects the covenant, then one chooses death I see Deut. 30, v. 15-20). On the other hand, the covenental commitment must grow and be internalized as autonomous will or it will harden and become a burden. Without voluntary identification, obedience wilt dissipate and die. . Acceptance of the covenant is no unconditional surrender of freedom to God. Personal liberty, dignity and equality continue within the relationship of loving obedience to God, Improperly applied, this means total surrender of self The-constant re-presentation of that moment of choice on Shavuot, on Pesach, in the daily Shema ritual, testifies to the ongoing freedom out of which Israel chooses to serve God. This paradox — that freedom leads to reatraints — confuses people. Some religionists conclude that freedom must be surrendered in absolute obedience to God. This 'slave psychology" creates a law so prescriptive that ev«ry act is predetemjined. But when every choice is governed by pre-programmed behavior, this is legalism, not service of God. Conversely, some people experience every commandment or obligation coming from without as inherently violative of freedom. But no one is bdm — or lives — in a vacuum. Israel approaches Sinai already under obligatiop for God's gracious act of Exodus liberation as well a for. the inherited Abrahamic covenant — for whoae sake God remembered to »«v« them. There is no pristine self that \M invaded by external commandments My freedom ia built on the care and stmcture that other* felt bound to give me. My onuoing freedom — as Israel's — it expreeaed in accepting my responsibility or nyactini it, in choa» ing life or chooaing death. God channel* my fireeilom bry commanding (ne t0 act; God raepecU my (k«edom by letting me choose. Fr««don\ i» the undMermined, the open-ended, rtirt the unbidden and the unstructuivd.

Jewish groups concerned with Justice appointment By Deborah Kalb, States News Service WASHINGTON (JTA) — Jewish organizations have raised initial concerns about the nomination of Lani Guinier to head the Justice Department's civil ri^ts division. Guinier, a law professor at the University of Pennsylvania, has espoused controversial positions in her academic writings on such civil rights issues as use of the Voting Rights Act.
The Jewish community traditionalty has Opposed this concept, in part because it could be used to limit the representation of Jews.
Raise the flag When the members of Epstein-Morgan Post JWV noticed that the Hag of Israel in the Jewish Community Center auditorium needed replacement, they immediately went out and bought one. Then, they raffled off a king-size candy bar to help defray the cost. At left. Commander Sam Rosenstein and Harry Paskowitz show the candy while at right, Jacque Dolgoff, Nate Marcus, Mr. Paskowitz, George Schapiro, Bill Packman, Dr. Milton Margolin, Sam Kaplan and Sol Mann, display the new flag.
Volunteers sought for new treatment NEW YORK (JTA) - The National Gaucher Foundation and the Gaucher Medical Treatment Centers are in the midst of Sponsoring a monthlong screening procedure (or patients who suffer from the genetic disease. The free-of-charge program encourages people with symptoms to call a hotline — 1-800-GAUCHER or 1800-428-2437. The line offers a confidential pre-screen'..g interview with a health care professional. Those who suffer from the painful and often deadly ailment, which affects mostly Ashkenazic Jews, currently have a choice of an approved, but costly, treatment and a new treatment in the process of being tested. The National Institutes of Health are looking for vol, unteers to test a new treatment called PEG-glucocerebrosidase, which is a io-called "recombinant" form of a treatment created by cloning a human protein.

She has argued for a form of proportional representation, a concept suggesting that minority groups are entitled to political representation in numbers equal to their proportion in the population. The Jewish community traditionally has opposed this concept, in part because it could be used to limit the representation of Jew*. The Jewish community would have, or does have, serious questions about any plan that suggests that any group is entitled to representation in numbers equal to the;ir proportion of the population," said Jerome Chanes, co-director for domestic concerns of the National Jewish Community Relations Advisory Council.

]^BIacks and Jews in Boston: Views H from a Strained Relationship W^f\. By Heidi B. Perlman, The Jewish Advocate ^^ BOSTON ^Despite attempU to bring this crt/s black and Jewish communities together, people are beginning to admit that little progress has been made. Enterprises such as the Black-Jewish Economic Roundlable and events such as the Anti-Defamation League's annual Black-Jewish Seder weren't able to prevent three recent episodes of Black-Jewish conflict. In mid-March, Wellesley Professor Anthony Martin used the Nation of Islam's (NOIj text, "Tlie Secret Relationship Between the Blacks and Jews," in an African studies course. Jewish students at the college were offended by the outright anti-Semitism taught in the class. But Martin maintains the text stands to correct a history which over the years has been falsified. In the inner-city neighborhood of Roxbury, an exhibit called *The Black-Jewish Historical Encounter" opened recently. Designed to recount instances in which blacks and Jews have worked together in history, the exhibit was disrupted within two weeks when the Nation of Islam added three panels that depicted Jews as being leaders in the slave trade and the Anti-Defamatidn League as being an organization of spies. ln~ response, the American Jewish Committee took its name ofT of the list of sponsors, and withdrew its portion of the local exhibit. . ' Most recently, in South Boston, a high school erupted in violence after a racial dispute in a subway station. The problem, black and Jewish Bostonians .agree, did not begin with the use of the NOI's book at Wellesley College. It has been festering and growing for yeard According tc some people^racism needs to be. confronted to be solved. "We're sUrting to talk to our kids about drugs, and AIDS hmade us talk to our kids about, sex," said Forrest Ward, ligional manager of Symbiont, Inc. in Boston. P^But nobody talks to.their kids about racism until its Ux) ^ late. We can talk to each other about it all we want, but our kids are just out there walking arounrl .Arc wf tciching as ; ^mUch m we're preaching''"

THANK YOU FOR YOUR BUSINESS
By Hugh Orgel TEL AVIV (JTA) — There may be only one God in heaven, but there are at least two ways to view the skies, according to the planetarium at Tel Aviv's Ha'aretz Museum. The planetarium now has two scripts for lectures to the audience at the ni^t-sky show — one for secular viewers and the other for observant Jews, the planetarium spokesman has disclosed. The decision to use two different scripts followed a halachic ruling by the Eda Haredit, which represents the fervently Orthodox, forbidding its members to visit the planetarium because its guides and pamphlets say that creation began about 15 billion years ago. Till' standard astronomers' script is now replaced, for observant Jews who hold .that the world was created 5,753 years ago, by a version stating that "scientists maintain that the world was created a long time ago"

"Serving Omaha Since 1946'
ByHughOrgel TEL AVIV (JTA) — Israel has postponed consideration of purchasing nuclear reactors for electrical power until a new generation of smaller and safer reactors is available, Energy Minister Amnon Rubinstein haa dis-' closed. Rubinstein noted that richer countries are working on a "smaller, safer nuclear reactor" which vrill abolish the "fears and anxieties" associated with present reactors. But while the nuclear reactor future is being pushed further away, the Israel Electric Corp. is pushing ahead with plans to set up a giant $70 million wind farm for the production of electric power in the Golan HeighU, despite uncertainties about the long-term political • future of the heists. Eli Ben-Dov, head of the wind energy section of the lEC's research and development division, said that in the event of a peace treaty that changes the status of the region, the scheme could go ahead as a joint development between Israel, Syria and Lebanon.
