Holocaust survivors honored as heroes
PacAsetter Chairmen meet with team Fred Simon, left, and Don. Goldstein, Pacesetter Division JChairmen for the 1994 UJA/Fedcration Camptrtifn, have held three meetings with their campaign volunteers and a fourth meeting ii scheduled for Oct. 18. Volunteers received information about the Federation agencies and about Israel's continuing need for our support as the peace process moves fbrward. "Israel is atUl living in a very dangerous neighborhood," noted Mr. Goldstein, "and they are still resettling 6,000 Jews a month." Open discussion during the meetings included many suggestions by volunteers for future campaigns and for building community relations. " We have not had brainstorming sessions like this in the past," commented Mr. Simon. "The discussions brought out some excellent suggestions." •IT

By Morris Maline The greatest act of heroism ever witnessed by a history professor was described Sunday night at the Jewish Community Certter. "As I watched this Holocaust survivor limp toward the crematoria at the M^jdanek concentration camp — reliving the nightmare — 1 realized that I was witnessing the greatest act of heroism I had ever seen." This is how history professor David M. Crowe summed up his recent educational trip to Poland accompanied by schoolteachers and Holocaust survivors. Professor Crowe, Department of History, Eton College, said he took the trip as a member of the United States Memorial Holocaust Museum's Education Committee. In a two-day symposium, scholars from the United States and abroad discussed "Crisis and Reaction: The Hero in Jewish History." The symposium was sponsored by Creighton University, the Jewish Federation of Omaha and the Jewish Cultural Arts Council. In his presentation, Professor Crowe said the survivor (identified later as Norburg Volhsim, a witness at the Nurtmburg trials) — 'terrified at this experisncs of reliving a nightmare, sacrificed himself for a greater act — that of telling the story of the Holocaust" Professor Crows traced the origin of the United States Memorial Holocaust Museum and discussed ths concern of the survivors (who sat on all of the committess) that the Mussum not be a national horror show, but a facility for learning that would

He said the survivors were driven by what Elie Wiesel expressed as the fear that when the survivors died, there would be no one to remember. He pointed out that each survivor paid the price of allowing the nightmare to return and each had to decide how much pain he would endure. Professor Crowe also addressed the oflen-heard question asked by mostly non-Jewish audiences: "Why didn't the Jews resist?" He explained that the question "burned survivors* souls, and in reality was a "non-issue." He said the Holocaust was not "an ordinary event," and that by asking the question one puts responsibility on the victim. Survival itself, he said, was an act of spiritual resistance snsuring that someone would live to tell. "Wanting to tell made the difference between life and death, and there is honor in much of what they did,* said Professor Crowe.

Sparks^from The Word By Rabbi Myer S. Kripke Parashat Noah Why Do Things Happen As They Do? The story of Noah and the flood introduces us at once to the Biblical (one might say the prophetic) view of history, N Why do things happen as they do? The Noah story introduces the dimension of the moral and the ethical, the idea of morality, into human history. Why did the great flood come? Because God was unhappy with the way man had turned out, and in His despair. He thought to wipe out humanity. Why was He unhappy with mankind? Because of widespread immorality, violence, corruption. From this flows the whole nexus of ideas about morality and man's role in the universe. Man is to be a moral being, a human being. If not — he has no right to be. If he exhibits a lust for power, and that lust is essential to his being, he has no right to be. That is not why God gave him life. Why did the flood come? God brought it on as a means of controlling, in this case, ending human life. But He tried humanity again through Noah and his family, perhaps a second chance for mankind would produce better results. This theme occurs again and again in the Hebrew Scriptures. Why were Sodom and Gomorrah destroyed? Some chance earthquake? No: it was the hand of God, and the cause was the immorality of these cities. Why was Israel in Canaan subjected to marauders and invaders? Because of religious infidelity. When they repented and entreated God's mercy, a "Judge," that is, a military leader saved them. Why was Israel destroyed by the military juggernaut of Assyria, and why Judah by the military steamroller of Babylonia? Because, despite their annoyingly correct worship in their shrines and in the Temple, respectively, their public and private life was corrupt and compassionless. History, the Bible writers would have us believe, is a function of morality. Morality or lack of morality explains everything. Is this a tenable interpretation of history? No! Does this view help us understand the facts of

Outreach program Welcome! In an innovative tutreach program, the Jewish community of Omahni is extending that warm greeting to Omaha area interfaith families. The program, called Gateway, "will give people in interfaith marriages an opportunity to acquaint themselves with the community and its many nonreligious as well as religious activities," said Joel Alperson, project committee chairman. This will be done in "a series of informal and relaxed meetings in the homes of Jewish couples, he added. In a letter to interfaith couples, the Gateway committee explained that "we will share with you the resources of the Omaha Jewish Community, answer questions and exchange ideas." The first discussion program will be Monday, Oct. 18, at 7:30 p.m., at the home of Frances and Sam Fried, 1210 North 97th Plaza. Ilene Klein will be the moderator, Mr. Fried is president of Jewish Family Service, sponsor of Gateway. "With so many Jews marrying people of other faiths, the need for Gateway is obvious," Mr. Alperson said. "We are opening the gates to the community to those who wish to enter, and enter in any capacity. We want people to know that the community welcomes them and will embrace them if they desire. We will inform them that there is a place for them in our community and in greater Judaism. "This is not a Reform, Conservative, Orthodox or Reconstructionist program," he added. "We are merely making community resources and Judaism available to those who may not be fully aware of all that the Jewish community has to offer." Serving with Mr. Alperson, Sam Fried and Mrs. Klein on the Gateway committee are Howard Silber, Al Crounse and Glen Fineman, Jewish Family Service director. For information, call Carol at Jewish Family Service, 330-2024.

News and Views from Lincoln ^F By Bemie Mosow Such good news has come Lincoln's way this week. And I Am sure all of you will "kvell" when you read about these events. First, there is the investiture of Gary Chesnin as a judge to the Magistrates Court of Beersheve, Israel. Gary, who is known there by his Hebrew name Thar Lev, was sworn in along with 18 others at President Weizmann's house — Beit Hanasi. There was quite a group of influential people there in addition to President Weizmann; the Minister of Justice and the Minister of Housing assisted him in the ceremony. '' Of course, Gary's parents, Esther Rae and Leon, had made the trip to watch their son receive this honor. Now on to the second event. On Oct. 3, there was a special event held at the Tifereth Israel Synagogue to acquaint the members of the Interfaith community statewide with Judaism, its holidays, customs and practices. In the synagogue social hall, tables were set with cloths, silver and china befitting the holiday it represented plus any special decor that might be in keeping with that specific event. Each of the tables was hosted by a team of members who delivered an explanation of the holiday and its particular commemoration. These descriptive commentaries were well researched and delivered within a prescribed period so each group had ample time to cover each display and tiear the explanation. When the bell sounded, each group moved along to the next table on its route so that everyone had the opportunity to view and hear about each holiday. The comments I've heard from many quarters is that it was WONDERFUL! Someone who "counted the house" said about 200 people from the community attended. I call that a successful event.

The concept of "Change and Return" ("Teshuva"), which is central.to the Jewish High Holidays, acquired new meaning this yebr for all of US at Friedel Jewish Academy. Upon returning to school, we decided that students and teachers would take turns blowing tlie shofar at the close of morning services everyday from the first of Elul until Rosh Hashanah. Dr. Richard Freund, our Jewish Studies Consultant, defined the powerful shofar blasts as instructions "to look within ourselves and discover who we are." When Mr. Jerry Gordman returned to the Academy for his annual shofar-blowing demonstration, his visit held more significance than ever before. All of these experiences prepared us to understand Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. During this holiday season, changes in our curriculum permitted us to more fijlly and deeply integrate Jewish Studies, general academics, and our special areas, including music, library, and art. Certain changes resulted in part fi-om long-range planning by our returning faculty members; others, from a unified effort by the new faculty. Our three new teachers are Jean Weide-Voss, K-1; Barbara Sather, 2nd and 3rd; and Barbara Jones, ESL and music. We welcome them with pride! To enhance the holiday season, our older students accomplished a Wide range of projects—from the construction of model sukkot, to an in-depth unit on the concept of atonement. Our younger students made macaroni shofars in art; heard "Minnie's Yom Kippur Birthday," by Ruth' Rasner, and "First Fast," by Barbara Cohen, in library; and wrote reports on personal reflections about the High Holidays. All students learned three Rosh Hashanah songs, decorated the Academy's sukkah, and shared the joy of Simchat Torah. The richness of these activities complemented their general academics, as they forged ahead in social studies, language arts, mathematics, and science. The staff of Friedel Jewish Academy has pledged itself to build on the great tradition of this institution toward achieving unprecedented success in the future. We have captured this positive goal in our new slogan—Friedel: A Commitment to Excellence. This year, as we enter our fourth decade of service to Omaha's Jewish community, we intend to' fulfill this commitment every day. We invite you to follow our progress in "The Friedel Notebook," which will appear approximately once each month in the Jewish Press.
