"Perhaps, now rcan sleep. Editor's Note: During the past few weeka, the Jewish Press has been letting the community know about the need to raise $160,000 for the cancer treatment of Mark Epstein. His father, Gary, sent the following message and asked that it be shared with the Jewish community: Another sleepless nig^t. It's 4:30 in the morning and 1 have been struggling to sleep for almost five hours now. Instead of feeling the calmness that comes just before sleep, my mind is racing with so many thoughts, so many emotions ... so many, many. I look to my left and see my wife turning and turning and struggling to sleep. I do not want to wake her, even though I desperately wish that I had someone to share my thoughts with at this very moment. Instead, I carefully get out of bed, put on my robe and begin to make my way downstairs to the kitchen. As I am walking in the darkness, I walk past my son's room. I cannot resist the temptation to go in. His door is slightly open, probably because of his nightly visits (tbm the cat. As I enter his rotim, I stumble over something in the darkness. So what's new, his room, like most other young people, is strewn with "stuff"." But this is different, I stumbled on his artificial leg. By now I have somehow made it near his bed without waking him, not unusual since he actually slept through an earthquake as a child. Now I am at his bedside, and the moonlight is shining through his window and illuminating his motionless form. I stand for a moment looking at him, the once beautiful head of hair is now gonej^but the calm, peaceful look on his face that he had as a child is the same. I stand and woncjer how that can be? As I stand and wonder, my thoughts and emotions are building inside of me and I feel my throat thickening and tears come to my eyes. I turn and leave the room. As I walk down the steps, I see theyahrtzeit candle flickering in the darkness in loving memory of my wonderful father-in-law.
Now I am at the kitchen table. On my right is the Jewish Press. Instinctively I pick it up and begin to read it just as I did over and over again the evening before. By now I have almost memorized the editorial that occupies much of the front page. The more I read it, the more emotional I become. By now the tears fill my eyes-again and my mind is beginning to find the answers to some of the questions that have been racing through it from the hours of sleeplessness before. I realize that I am reading the words of a man, Morris Maline, who has transcended editorialism and is really writing from the heart. The words express true emotion, for not only my son but for all the Jews of the community. Because of his words, perhaps I, too, will be able to express my own feelings of love and hope instead of feelings of bitterness and anger. I must not allow these feelings to take over my being. It is not fair to my family, my wonderful friends, or myself So, in the early hours of the morning, I have learned another important lesson in life. In the past year-and-a-half, I have learned so much from my son and now I have learned a great lesson from someone I would like to know much better, Morris Maline. Knowing that, perhaps now I can sleep. Editor's Note: At last count, the drive to raise $150,000 had reached the half-way mark and activity within the Jewish community seems to keep gaining momentum. Those desiring to help may write a check payable to the University of Nebraska Medical Center and send IL to Sheldon Bernstein, c/o Federation Foundation, 333 South 132nd St. Omaha, NE, 68154. P.S. At deadline for this week's issue, the Press was advised that Mark's treatment would begin Sept. 13. Meanwhile, activities are under way in the community to raise additional funds. Please keep the" Press informed so that publicity for these events can be published.
"Peace will raise new issues for Israelis and Diaspora Jews" Editor's Note: Harry Allen, a former University of Nebraska official who now resides most of the year in Israel, has written a Letter from Jerusalem column for the Jewish Press. In this article, he takes a look at the prospects for peace between Israel and the Palestinians. By Harry Allen The Haftorah portion chanted in synagogues around the world last Shabbat as one of the Haftorot of Consolation read between Tisha B'Av and Rosh Hashanah contains the wonderful hope that "the voice of violence will no longer be heard in the land." It now seems possible that this prophetic vision may at last come into being as Israel and the PLO movt toward a truly hjjloric Agrippisnt. 'vVhatevcr may finally emerge tomne is little doubt that the agreements, negotiated over some 13 months of secret talks represent a "sea change" in the relations-between Israel and the arsbs. The fact that these negotiations could be kept secret is in itself a ramarkabls achievement. Much remains to be hammered out, in the end the peace may not be achieved, the Palestinians msy scuttle the wholt thing, the right wing in Israel may derail the process, but the rsality if that none of the dire predictions are likely. To be sure many Paleitiniani are bitterly opposed to any agreement with Israel, there will, no doubt, b« some violence in Israel led by the religious right wing, but none of this sserni likely to stop the momentum. The truth of the matter it that this pact, if it comet to past, rtpraianta an enor
mous victory for Israel and the Zionist movement. The Arabs have lost, they know it, we know it. But peace, if it comes, will raise new issues for Israelis and Diaspora Jews, issues going to the fundamental nature of Jewish survival, the ultimate Zeitgeist of the Jewish state, and the dynamics of relationships between Jews in Israel and Jews in America. The great challenge so world Jewry, and that includes Iiraelii, lies in the simple question: "What is the glue that holds us together after the threat of destruction recedes?" For nearly half a century now Jews have universally been primarily concerned with survival, survival in Europe, survival in Israel, and now survival in America us American Jews face the onslaught of intermarriage and dismal birth rates. It may now come to pass that our new concerns must be the quality of Jewish life as well as its physical continuity. What does this mean for Israel? If security is no longer the over-riding issues Israelis will have to deal seriously with the difllcult problems of developing a modern, but yet traditional establishment. Secularists must come to terms with religion, must stop bathing religion in every possible way and the Orthodox mutt be willing to face the problems of modernity aquarely. When energy it available to work on solutions the debate will become oven more fbriout than it it now. But Itrael, mutt remsin a Jewish ttate or elie it has no meaning st alt. But defining what that means where there is no military pretture to at least ofTer one common denominator in polities will (Continued on page 6)
Anita Gray will spealc Anita Gray will be the guest at a Migor Gifts brunch, Tuesday, Sept. 28, 10 a.m. to noon, at j^^ the home of Nancy Rips. A preview of the Rips' succah is also planned. "The women of the Lion of Judah, Double Chai and Chai/Grand Gifts divisions are in for a fascinating morning," said Carol 'Katzman, women's division chairman. "The work and life of Anita Gray is compelling and eye opening. What . she has to say is impor* i^ray tant, the way she says it is energizing and she offers audiences a terrific opportunity to learn." Ms. Gray, who became interested in Judaism when was 21 and converted six years later, currently serves on the national UJA Women's Division board and is past chairman of the UJA Speakers' Bureau. Speaking around the country, she com-bines the story of her personal journey with today's story of the millions of Jews who, says Ms. Gray, "are leaving strange places all over the world to be free ... to be Jewish." "I want people to know how beautiful and special and privileged it is to be Jewish," she continued. "I was born Catholic, but the belief in the trinity never fit me," Ms. Gray explained. "It was belief in one G-d and the concept of Tzedakah that really made sense to me. I coiKiucied because I wanted to. "Before I converted," she recalled, "I lived 'on the edge.' I made my first contribution to UJA, picketed for 'Freedom for Soviet Jews and became a serious student of Judaism. "Tbday, I'm an American Jewish woman who feels passionately about the importance of the immigration and its impact on Jewish people everywhere. There are those among us who think this migration signals the coming of the Messiah. No matter what we believe, one thing is for sure — the migration of Jews in the world over the last five years could significantly fortify the Jewish people as well as strengthen the Jewish state. "Our problem would dissolve if everyone could feel personally involved," she concluded. That will happen if Jews make the effort to directly communicate with Jews, one by one, and never give up. Our misunderstandings and lack of interest come when we don't talk to each other "Change takes time," said Ms. Gray, "but we must be a vejHdMtient people — we're still waiting for

News and Views from Lincoln By Bemie Mosow » Some of the most interesting news comes my way via the Lincoln Interfaith Council bulletin. For instance, the following item: "Tifereth Israel Synagogue is inviting all members of the Lincoln Interfaith community to a 'Friendship Tea' to be held in the Synagogue on Oct. 3 at 1:30 p.m. The purpose of the tea is to acquaint the community with the synagogue, the Jewish Holidays, and Jewish customs and rituals. Tifereth Israel Synagogue Rabbi Elihu Milder and president Ophira Bahar hope this tea will contribute toward mutual understanding and interfaith comradeship. Those wishing to attend are asked to call the synagogue at 402-423-8569.''What a super idea! Lets all of us get behind this plan and help to make it a successful endeavor. More news from the same source. Our own Gary Hill will speak at the United Nations Annual Dinner on Oct. 17 at 6 p.m. at the Cotner Center. He is a member of the United Nations International Scientific and Professional Advisory Council for Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice. Did you know that the Temple B'nai Jeshrun building at 20th and South Street is listed on the National Register of Historical Landmarks? Speaking of Temple, it was designated as a "shelter" during the big storm of July '93. Little wonder that this historic edifice was so recognized. We've known for years that our houses of worship give sanctuary to those in trouble. And on the subject of immunity houses of worship, both Tifereth Israel d B'nai Jeshrun are busy getting ready for the High Holy Days. Time really flies.
The March of the Living By Alon Mor, BBYO director On April 4, 1994, 5,000 Jewish teens firom countries around the world will share in a once-in-a-lifetime experience when they march three kilometers from Auschwitz to Birkenau on Yom Hashoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day. Your child has the unique opportunity to be one of the four delegates from Omaha to participate. The march retraces the steps of the "March of Death," the actual route which countless numbers of our people were forced to take on the way to the gas chambers of Birkenau. This time, however, there will be a difference. It will be a "March of the Living" with thousands of Jewish youth marching to bear witness to the undying spirit of the Jewish people. From a week-long trip in Poland and visiting Auschwitz-Birkenau, Treblinka, Majdanek, and historic sites in Warsaw and Cracow, the international delegation will fly to Israel to join the entire Jewish community in celebrating Yom Ha'atzmaut, Israel's 46th Independence DAy on April 14, 1994. Any BBYO member that wilK^ter 11th or 12th grade in the fall of 1993 is eligible^to apply to be a part of the Omaha delegation taking part in this two-week trip commemorating the m^st joyous and most somber moments in Jewish hist An informational meeting will beMield at the JCC on Wednesday, Sept. 21, at 7 p.m. for you and your child. This meeting will give further details of the trip and important information concerning the application and interview process. For information, call Alon Mor, BBYO director, at 334-8200. ext. 235.

By Bert Lewis ' Did you ever think how much fiin it would be to put together a volume of bits and pieces of information ... you know, the kind of stuff a person just "picks up" without noticing. Kind of a resource for somebody less experienced in the pitfalls of every day living. Seems to me that could be a useful book, maybe even something which could be com'mercially successful, provided it was properly promoted. If I were to amass material for such an effort, I guess I'd start by dividing my information into categories. Chapter headings such as Car Hints, Supermarket Clues, Household Errors (to be avoided). Travel Pitfalls. In other words, not a "how to" book, but rather a "how not to." I guess I'd remember all the dumb things I've ever done in the way of car care and list them. Things like ignoring funny noises from under the hood. Or trusting that even though the gauge says E, it doesn't mean "enough." It means get to the gas station right now! And for that matter, any time a red light appears on the panel, go ask what it means! I have more kitchen hints than one chapter could hold. I'd be sure to warn anybody that cinnamon and chili powder look alike in the container — watch it! And extreme caution is advised if there is carpet on the kitchen floor. Don't drop cottage cheese; you'll be picking it up all day. And don't drop an egg, either. A raw egg on carpet might as well be nuclear waste — yech. And set a timer before you leave the eggs boiling on the stove unattended. There's nothing like cooking all the liquid out of a pan. Which reminds me, watch that microwave too. Besides cooking stuff in a flash, it is capable of wreaking havoc. A squash can explode faster than a firecracker. Of course, it isn't dangerous, it's just the worst mess in the world to clean up! Not long ago, I allowed a minute too long for a

bowl of rhubarb in my microwave and voila! Instant rhubarb-lined walls. Worse than that, the dam stuff ate the finish from the tray it spilled on. (I don't want to think what it does to a person's insides.) There are a few things to remember which might be listed under Seasonal Don't: < First, it's not a good idea to buy bags of chocolate kisses or miniature bars if you have to carry them in the ckr all day — in the middle of a hot spell! Trust me on that one. i Also, very hot weather isn't the time to buy and carry around that giant size box of candles, unless, of course, you want to make one really humongous candle. I wouldn't insult anyone by warning against frozen food in a hot car; or even soft drinks, which can explode. Too obvious. Actually, the no-no list could go on and on, but I'm sure you have the idea. We could all write such a book because it doesn't take much to qualify as a maven. ' I have it on good authority the person who never did anything stupid hasn't been bom yet, right? Never mind. I'll try to find a better idea to work on for a future project.

Deborah Greenblatt, resident of the old schoolhouse in Avoca, Neb., has just published an innovative music collection. The International Fiddler's Tune Book, Volume I. Ms. Greenblatt, a master artist with the Artist-in-the-schools/communities program of the Nebraska Arts council and a member rf the American String Teacher Association, has been teaching privately for over 20 years. During that time, she has developed teaching material that later became books. The International Fiddlers Tune Book, Volume I, is a spiral-bound collection on recycled paper. It includes 52 violin duets (one for each week of the year) from 52 nations, with chord symbols. Interesting information about each location is given, on the same page as the tune, in an effort to encourage students to think in more global terms. Embassy addresses and a source list are also included to give the fiddler some clues for their own investigations. Ms. Greenblatt performs with her husband, David Seay. She received her degree in violin performance from Boston University School of Fine ' Arts and has won numerous fiddle contests, including the Nebraska state championship and the MidAmerica fiddle championship. For information, call Ms. Greenblatt at 402-2753221.

BSA Ner, Tamid award Boy Scout Troop 218 is sponsoring a program at the JCC on Sunday from 1 to 3 p.m., for Jewish Boy Scouts who are interested in earning the Ner Tamid award. * Rabbi Daniel Fink, associate rabbi of Temple Israel, will explain the value of this award. He also will discuss requirements. Rabbi Fink and his wife, Laura, have served as Ner Tamid counselors in both Staunton and Harrisonburg, Va. Jewish Boy Scouts who have reached the rank of Tenderfoot, are eligible to participate. The National Jewish Committee on scouting has developed the Ner Tamid (Eternal Light) program to aid scouts to practice duty to God, to be reverent (the 12th point of the Scout Law), and to be faithful in religious duties. The Ner Tamid emblem is a pendant, representing the Eternal Light that hangs in front of the Holy Ark, attached to a blue and white ribbon and a bronze bar pin. The pendant is inscribed with "Ner Tamid" in Hebrew letters, and "Eternal Light" in English. It would be helpful to have the Ner Tamid Program record booklet, available from the local , council office, a notebook and pen or pencil for the session. The supply of booklets are limited at this time. Rabbi Fink will have a list of the requirements available for review on Sunday. For information, call Troop 218 Scoutmaster Barb Nichols at 896-1171.

—WEST OMAHA AUTO BODY
By David Landau JERUSALEM (JTA) — A petition from a large group of Ethiopians claiming Jewish status and descent is causing sharp concerns here that the group's activities may strain relations between Israel and Ethiopia. The group, known as the Semite Nation of the Gihon, comprises some 4 million Ethiopians. For now, the group is not immediately proposing aliyah. But it does want to set up a headquarters in Israel. The Israeli ambassador to Ethiopia, Haim Divon, voiced fears that this episode could seriously damage relations between the two countries. His warning was underscored by a reference to recent events in Ethiopia, when the government expelled a group of American Jewish activists.
