Lincoln author to speak By Miriam Ben-Yaacov , Book Fair publicity Gerald Shapiro, author of a critically acclaimed collection of short stories, From Hunger, will discuss his work Thursday, Nov. 18, 1 p.m., at the Jewish Community Center. This is the opening program of the Jewish Book Fair sponsored by the Jewish Federation Library. Gerald Shapiro Marilyn Bermah, chairperson for the event, which is co-sponsored by Hadassah and the National Council of Jewish Women Omaha section, invites the community to meet with this talented writer. Shapiro's stories are about "middle-aged Jewish meii in varying states of material and professional success or failure." All his protagonists have "a sense of an internal spiritual emptiness and a desire to achieve connectedness." All search for faith and community. In the title story, "From Hunger," we are reminded of the absurdist irony of Kafka and the biting wit of the early Phillip Roth. Altshuler, a failing j shoe designer invents an open-toed, stiletto-heeled hiking boot, that makes him rich. But, money doesn't satisfy his unnamed longing. Besides, life has not been treating him well. He had "been slowly descending, as if squeezing down through a tunnel," his marriage "flipped over and died without putting up much of a fight" and "little disasters _ kept nibbling away at him." His uncle Phil "unannounced, bursts into Jtshuler's sleek downtown Chicago office as if shot [by a cannon", and tells his surprised nephew, "I'm rail used up, kid. As GÂŤd is my witness. You take me in or it's all over for me. I'll end up in a dumpSter." Altshuler sees his uncle's predicament as an bpportunity for 'belonging*. (Continued on Page 2)

Letter to the Editor: My family and I would like to once again thank everybody for their support during my transplant. We would also like to thank those people who were able fjo come to the reception at Temple Israel. We had a wonderful time getting to know everyone who came to show their support for me and my family during this wonderful occasion. I am proud to say that I am doing well and expect to continue graduate school in the Spring to get my M.A. in psychology. I hope my gratitude towards the community reaches all of you who were there to show your kindness and support when it was needed. This was just one example of how people can work together if they put their minds and efforts towards solving a crisis such as mine. I hope to do my part in helping the community in the future, even if in only some small way. I also hope that if there is another reason for the community to pull together to help someone else, we will not hesitate in helping that person. One person may.not be able to solve the problem, but the community proVed what with everyone's help, there is nothing we can't accomplish! Thanks again, Gary, Nancy, Robyn and Mark Epstein

(Ck>ntinued from Page 1) He envisions his uncle and himself as a real-life William Frawley and Fred MacMurray of television's My Three Sons. But, things do not work out that way. Phil "slept late, rising at 11 to wander into the kitchen and break appliances. He broke the coffee maker, the mini-vacuum, the toaster oven twice; he blew up the microwave, then moved to dislies. "He'd begun to order gigantic sandwiches delivered from DiMarco's Delicatessen around the corner. Fredo, the delivery boy, would throw in extra pickles, hot peppers, cartons of three-bean salad and cole slaw, and Phil would tip him extravagantly out of the pile of loose change Altshuler left in a dish by the front door. A trail of pretzel crumbs, empty bags of com chips, candy bar wrappers, bits of halvah and mustard stains followed him like bird droppings. The guest room stank of salami." When Altshuler asked Phil to take care of himself, Phil replies^*Everybody tells me don't eat so much. Nobody wants to talk about how hungry I am." Mr. Shapiro teaches English at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln. His stories have appeared in Kenyon Review, Gettysburg Review, Quarterly West, and other literary magazines. From Hunger, nominated for the National Jewish Book Award for Fiction, will be available at the Book Sale which runs from Nov. 18 to Dec. 12. Copies of selected stories are available from the Library for $2 and should be picked up and read prior to the discussion.

In that sermon, the Polish prelate said that the Bronx rabbi had been trying to kill a group of Carmelite nuns living in a convent at the perimeter of the Auschwitz death camp when Weiss and six^j followers demonstrated there in July 1989. ^M The convent's presence at Auschwitz, where an estimated 1.6 million Jews were slaughtered during the Holocaust, was long the source of tension in international Catholic-Jewish relations.

Sparlcs from The Word
By Morris Maline
By Rabbi Myer S. Kripke
B'nai B'rith News Those of us in the news gathering and publishing business are always eager to scan items in our mail tliat lead off with the word news. So, when some mail came in to the Jewish Press office from Robin Schwartz-Kreger, director of press relations, I read the material with more than passing inteiest, and 1 learned some things that I want to pass along to our readers: i The B'nai B'rith Youth Organization (BBYO) serves about 30,000 in junior and senior high schools with all kinds of activities including religious, educational, social and community service programs. Its members act — helping Jews and non-Jews, delivering cleaning supplies to victims of the Midwest flooding, helping to build homes for the homeless, serving as volunteers for social service organizations ... to name a few. The multi-page document provided by Ms. Schwartz-Kreger also offered information on a survey of 400 Jewish teenagers attending the recent international convention. The teens were asked five questions and the responses indicated that they were worried about AIDS, violence and guns. They pointed out that the first priority of Congress should be gun control and that the United Nations needs to do more on environment issues while racism and prejudice are the biggest issues that should be addressed in schools. The news release also pointed out that the W. K. Kellogg Foundation awarded BBYO a $491,000 grant to build a national teen community service program for ongoing service projects, setting up partnerships with local project sites and other agencies involved in service. The following projects were chosen as the first grant recipients: In Chicago, BBYO will volunteer at the Misericordia Heart of Mercy Home for mentally disabled young adults, helping them engage in physical^ activities such as bowling, dancing and exercisij ^ In. Minneapolis, BBYO is setting up a mulltlcultural volunteer corps to serve the developmentally disabled, a home for the aged or a children's snelter. In Milwaukee, BBYO will become temporary Big Brothers or Big Sisters to about 400 children. And in Detroit, 100 BBYO teens will volunteer at homes run by the Jewish Association for Residential Care, which provides independent living facilities for the mentally disabled. Some teens may work with children at day care centers, day camps or at other community facilities. One can readily conclude that BBYO is a dynamic organization providing much-needed help in a variety of areas while building character and leadership skills in its membership.
Bat Mitzvah
Parashat Ibledot Isaac and the NRA I am'worried about Isaac, the link between Abraham our Father and Jacob—Israel, the immediate father of our people. , The Bible has relatively little to say about Isaac, and we are left to fill in what we can surmise. What worries me is his love of wild game. When Abraham wants to serve the three "men" who came by, he has no difficulty in bringing in a choice calf from his herds. When Jacob returns from Mesopotamia,, he has flocks and herds in abundance. And, between the two, when Rebecca acts to deceive Isaac, she has no problem: she gets two choice goat kids to prepare for Isaac, while Esau went out hunting game, probably a wild goat. Was Isaac, who was also a farmer, something of a rebel against his father's tradition? Why did he really prefer the gamey taste of the wild to the ready-at-hand domesticated flocks he had? Are we to understand something about Isaac that the text is reluctant to state baldly? Indeed, where did Esau get his love of the field, if not from Isaac? Is there a hint of this in the scenario of Rebecca's first sight of Isaac, when she came from Mesopotamia with Abraham's servant? Here is the text: "And Isaac went out walking in the field toward evening . . . Rebecca saw Isaac .. . she said, 'Who is that man walking in the field toward us?" Walking in the field . .. walking in the field. Was Isaac really stalking game? The NPLA in our time apparently believes, as we do, in the rights of children to food, clothing and shelter. The NRA apparently adds, "and guns." Perhaps ^aac was the proto-supporter of NRA. fot all of this is tongue-in-cheek, e character of Isaac is a partly hidden, partly revekled subject for our speculation. You might even ask, why did he give his "deathbed" blessing so early? He lived, quite a few years more. At the core there were the 20 years Jacob spent in Mesopotamia, with an undetermined period before and some many years after. Did Isaac really feel death's hand on him, or was he merely hungry for some of that good wild game? You may gather that I don't like the NRA. But I still do like Isaac. He was the son of and the father of my grandfathers.

Holocaust Museum honors donors By Steven Weiss WASHINGTON (JTA) - Since its opening in April, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum has stood as a keeper of memories, symbolized by years-old treasures, such as the dress worn by a young girl hiding from the Nazis and the diary kept by a man held prisoner in a concentration camp. Now it was time to honor those who had donated personal items for public display, thereby keeping alive the memories of the millions of people who perished. Survivors, liberators and rescuers of the Holocaust who contributed personal artifacts to the museum's collection were honored at a special event Nov. 4 at the museum's Joseph and Rebecca Meyerhoflf Theater.

Children await Hanukkah By Amy Friedman (This article includes the writer's opinion) Ask any child, if you need to be reminded: Chanukah is only four weeks away! All Jewish children are planning their "wish lists," and Project Dreidel will ensure that no one is left out. The purpose of this program is to distribute gifts to Omaha Jewish children who otherwise might not receive gifts. Danielle, 11, and Lbuise, 12, are two such children, along with dozens of others. The two sisters love to light Menorahs each night of Chanukah. As a family tradition, each year they add one more Menorah to their collection. All the lights burn brightly, but the celebration would include few presents without Project Dreidel. "For the past few years, I haven't been able to give the kids much," says their mother, who is the sole support of the girls. "So they really look forward to Project Dreidel." All recipients of the project remain anonymous, which is why the family is not identified here. However, the mother gladly shared her story with the hope that it will motivate the Omaha Jewish community to participate. "During the past four years, we were in two accidents while our car was stopped at red lights, she recalls. "I am now disabled and my older daughter has recurring headaches." She was forced to quit her job as a secretary. This year marked her 40th birthday, and she feels grateful just to be alive and able to celebrate the occasion with her girls. She hopes the coming year will bring renewed health. As Chanukah approaches, Danielle and Louise are making out their wish lists. They want money to buy clothes, toys, and their Number One request is a pet bird. They hope someone will fulfill their wishes. Project Dreidel is sponsored by Jewish Family Service and Women's American ORT. Individuals and Jewish organizations can participate by buying gifts or by donating money. For information, call Alice Weiss at Jewish Family Service, 330-2024.

By Glen Fineman "L'Chaim ... to Life" is part of many celebrations, as well as deeply imbedded in Jewish tradition. It is also the name of a support group for Jewish widows and widowers. Co-sponsored by Jewish Family Service and Temple Israel, the group focuses on the many different issues concerning individuals after their loved one dies, such as acUustment to being alone, handling feelings of financial awareness, reassessment of needs and goal-setting. The group meets on the second Sunday of each month at Temple Israel at 12:30 p.m. Bring a sack lunch. The programs last about one and one-half hours. On Sunday, Nov. 14, the topic is a review and discussion of "Coping with Life After Your Mate Dies," written by Dr. Donald C. Cushenberry and Rita Crossley Cushenberry, who were guest speakers at last month's session. You will benefit from the discussion even if you have not heard them or read their book. Participants in "L'Chaim ... To Life" have stated that it helps to talk and share feelings with people who have had similar experiences and are in similar situations. The event is free and open to the entire Jewish community. Call Jewish Family Service at 330-2024 for information.

Mitterrand ceases honors PARIS (JTA) — Responding to a large outcry from Holocaust survivors and World War II veterans, French President Francois Mitterrand has officially announced that he will no longer lay a wreath at the tomb of Marshal Henri-Philippe Petain. The ongoing plans to annually honor Petain, a hero of World War I but a villain in the collaborationist Vichy government of World War II, had stoked increased anger throughout France. The Sons and Daughters of Jews Deported from France, an organization founded by Paris lawyer Serge Klarsfeld, had strongly protested the president's plans when it became publicized that the French president had l>een paying annual tribute to the memory of a man who led the infamous Vichy regime during World War II.
By Ben Gonsher Good Shabbos! And how was your week? We have started reading the Torah and that means a whole new set of parshas! Hopefully, every week someone in NCSY will write about the weekly Torah reading. This week's parsha is Toldot, the sixth in the book of Bereishis. Yitzchak's wife, Rifka, .gives birth to twins, Esav and Yaakov. Esav, the first bom, is entitled to the birthright which, when his father passes away, gives him his blessing. Yaakov is obviously jealous of this privilege. One day, Esav returns home ravenous from hunting. Seeing his brother's bowl of soup, he foolishly trades his birthright for the meal. Later, when their father is about to pass away, Yaakov gets the blessing because of Esav's impulsive move. The Torah teaches us that whenever we make a deal, transaction or agreement, we should carefully think it over. This story will help us further understand. There once was a poor man named Reb Mottel. He had a beautiful daughter who was at the age of marrying, yet he would not allow her to be wed until he had a proper dowry. He needed a total of one thousand rubles, yet he only had one. He went to the rabbi for help and was sent out with an order to buy the first thing he saw. The advice was not quite what he was expecting, for what could he buy with one ruble? But he went out just the same. He walked along and found himself in a tavern. Over in the comer, he could see a jeweler set up, laughing with his friends. Remembering the rabbi's words, he doubtfully walked over to the crowd. "Can I help you?" the jeweler asked. "What can you sell me for a ruble?" came Reb Mottel's reply. At this request, the jeweler and his friends burst into laughter, "For a single ruble? Why, I'll sell you my place in 01am Haba! (Heaven!)" jeered the merchant. "Very well," Reb Mottel agreed, "let us make up a proper contract." The crowd, all the while, were hysterical. The jeweler, to humor his friends, went along with the deal and signed the contract. Reb Mottel took his document and sat down. Just then, the jeweler realized what a terrible mistake he had done. He must get back his share in 01am Haba. He pleaded with Reb Mottel to tear up the paper, but failed. After desperate begging, he finally realized the only way to get back the document was to buy it back. Reb Mottel set the price at 1,000 rubels, and the jeweler had no choice but to pay. We learn from this tale and the parsha that always think before we act. Shabbat Shalom.
