The author follows prominent Warburgs through end of the 19th Century, when two marriages to daughters of partners in New York's top Jewish banking house provided a new lifeline to the family, and beyond, into the 20th Century, marked by the Warburgs' tragic struggle with the Nazis. The book goes on to tell of the Warburg cousin who moved to London in 1934 to build S.G.

By Steven Weiss WASHINGTON (JTA) — The Supreme Court has agreed to decide the fate of a New York school district set up for disabled Chasidic children that has been called unconstitutional. The high court said Monday that it would review a July decision by the New York Court of Appeals. The appeals court had ruled that' the state legislature's formation of the district was unconstitutional because it violates the separation between church and state. "Now there is the chance that the Supreme Court will restore for the handicapped children the services that they are entitled to," said David Zwiebel, general counsel of the fervently Orthodox Agudath Israel. But the case may have broader significance than aid to a New York school district. It may provide an opportunity for the court to reexamine the legal standard it has used for over two decades to decide how far the government may go in accommodating religious needs without breeching the constitutional divide betwi.nn rlinri'li und state. Formed by the New York Stair i,(i;isijinirc in 1989, the school district provides services to emotionally and physically disabled children in the Orange County village of Kiryas Joel, where most of the residents arc Satmar Chasidim. Nearly oil of the 220 students attending the school, which opened in 1990, are Chasidic. The legislature acted in response to Chasidic parents who believed they could not send their disabled children to religious schools in the area becauM of inadequate facilities, or to public schools because of religious and cultural difTerences. The appeals court ruled in July, in Grumel vs. Board of Education of the Kiryas Joel School District, that the formation of the school district

The school district argued that no such message was sent because the subject matter taught at the school is entirely secular. New York state joined the school district in ^ appealing the case to the Supreme Court. f Gov. Mario Cuomo said Monday in New York that "when I signed the legislation in 1989 creating this special school district, I did so because I believed it was a good-faith effort to solve a unique problem of providing secular education for special needs children." "I'm pleased that the Supreme Court has taken the case," said Nathan Lewin, attorney for the school district. "State laws should not be invalidated because they in some indirect way assist in religious prac- ^ tice," he said. -fl Lewin .said the Supreme Court signaled in July it was interested in the matter when it allowed the * tj district to continue operating during the appeal proce.ss. Severn! mainstream Jewish organizations disagreed with the Orthodox community and had applauded the lower court's decision as strengthening the separation of church and state. ^ The American Jewish Confess and the Anti- r| Defamation League each had released statements after the decision, calling for the government ta remain neutral with respect to religion in all circumstances.

JERUSALEM (JTA) — Israel's Supreme Court has ruled thai it is sometimes justified to withhold "extraordinary "medical treatment from a terminally ill patient in order to prevent prolonged sulTcring. But the court also ruled that deliberately hastening death is strictly prohibited by Jewish law. The decision, which was reached last week, was apparently the court's first on the issue, which has nettled jurists, ethicists and doctors in many countries. The ruling came in the case of YacI Shocfrer, a baby bom in 1986 with Tay-Sachs disease, a conKcnital Jewish genetic disorder that strikes down children.

By Rabbi Myer S. Kripke Parashat VaYeshev A Sober View of Life One of the Midrashic comments on the opening word of our Sidrah directs our thoughts to a great deal more than might be obvious. The opening word means "and he dwelt," or "he was settled." That is to say, Jacob was now settled in the land of Canaan, where his father had lived before him. The Midrash obliges us to think of the trials in Jacob's life to this point: his competition with his brother, Esau, for the birthright and for Isaac's blessing, where Jacob had unfairly gained both, though they belonged to Esau: his subsequent flight in terror to his Uncle Laban in Haran; his marriages to Leah and Rachel and to the lesser wives, Bilhah and Zilpah; his escape from his Uncle and father-in-law, Laban, who had tried repeatedly to cheat him; the'tragic event with Dinah and the people of Schechem; and his encounter with Esau when he returned to Canaan. An now he was settled. Settled? Immediately the text turns to the tragic hatred of Joseph by his brothers. Settled? Jacob had foolishly indicated his preference for Joseph above the other brothers, and they hated Joseph for this. When opportunity came, they sold Joseph (or permitted Joseph to be sold) as a slave in Egypt. But they gave their father the false story that

i'^

Joseph had been killed and devoured by a wild beast. Settled? Jacob swears that he will never be consoled and that he will die still mourning for Joseph. The Midrashic comment has it that it is somewhat improper even for the righteous to expect peace and serenity in this life. Isn't it enough that serenity awaits the righteous in the next world? Compare this with tne famous account that the rabbis debated the purpose of human life. After two years, they came to the conclusion that it would have been better had mankind never been born! BU"!, they went on to say, since he has life, a human being must "search out his ways and his actions," that is, he must live morally. If you will, build a view of life on these two rabbinic comments! The fact is that rabbinic Judaism did not place primary emphasis on life in a worldto-come, but insisted rather that emphasis be placed on living the good life, here in this world, a life loyal to God, to Torah and its mitzvot, and to the people Israel; a life of love of mankind and of family; a life of faith, faithfulness and compassion. Where did this emphasis come from? From the continuous rabbinic insistence on mankind's duties and on the essential view that life is good: they read a whole view of life into the first chapter of the Bible: and God saw that it was good . . . But peace, serenity, unbroken joy and continuous happiness? That is beyond what humans may expect, even beyond what they may hope for. Life, under God, is what it is; and we must "search out our ways and our actions."

A Chanukah message

^^^^ Congrregation Tifereth Israel l^r A cruse of oil, the Menorah lights, latkes, dreidles — these are the images which pass before our eyes when we think of Chanukah. In recent years, it has become commonplace in Jewish circles to stress its relative minor importance in our calendar. Yet for all of that, we instinctively experience an exhuberance, a sense of exhiliration surrounding Chanukah which we don't get from any other holiday. What I believe sets Chanukah apart from all of our other holidays is its blatant modernity. When we think of our holidays, we are often faced with the question of their relevance. No such problem exists with Chanukah. What the Jewish people experienced some 2200 years ago when they came face to face with Hellenic Greek culture is what we modern Jews experience daily in our everyday lives and which at this season of the year becomes most pronounced. It is the issue of assimilation. What can and what cannot be assimilated into the warp of our Jewish being without destroying in the process tho soul of our very existence. The Jewish people in the days of the Macabees were faced with statues of Greek gods being set up in the Temple, the proscription of Jewish dietary laws, proliferation of nudity and appreciation of the physical beauty of the human body, Greek logistical systems and Greek sounding names. Which, if any of these could be absorbed, assimilated into our religion, into our cultj^e and.iodeed advapce it, raise it to new heights aW whHh elsment^fce^ed to be fought against at the cost of our very lives. Some of the particulars mfiy have changed. We no longer have a problem with Greek statues but the essentials are still there. What elements of egalitarianism, so much a part of our American democratic way of life, can and should he absorbed into our religion and what must be eshewed ihreatcnmg as it does the core of our existence The light which glowed from the cruse of oil so many generations ago continues to burn in our hearts challenging us ever anew to respond to the opportunities presented to us by living amidst two civilizations. HAPPY CHANUKAH!

By Martin Rosenberg Director of Education On Friday evening, Dec.lO, 7:30 p.m.. Rabbi Shulewitz will lead the annual B'nai Israel Chanukah celebration. As is the congregation's custom, all participants are invited to bring their own meiiorahs, which are lit in a communal celebration of dedication to Jewish life, the theme of the Chanukah holiday. These menorahs are then placed in the synagogue windows for all to see. This year, the children of B'nai Israel Religious School will use hand-made ceramic menorahs, which each child designed and decorated over the last several weeks. Following services, the congregation will hold its annual pot-luck latke dinner. Everyone in the Phyllis Brown lights candles at B'nai Israel's annual Chanukah celebration. Jewish community is welcome to join us. 'Dedication to Jewish Learning" The theme of Chanukah is dedication, and Friday night's festivities kick off a weekend of activities centered around the theme of "Dedication to Jewish Learning." On Friday night, each child in the Religious School will receive a specially-selected book as a' sign of their dedication to Jewish learning. On Shabbat morning, teens in the congregation will begin a series of Torah study sessions with the Rabbi. On Saturday, Dec. 11, 5 p.m., at the home of Ellen Fennick, 3516 S. 104th St., Omaha, Rabbi

Shulewitz will begin a six-part course entitled "Exploring Jewish Values from a Reconstructionist Perspective." According to Rabbi Shulewitz, "although Reconstructionism is the youngest branch of Judaism, it is also the fastest grrowing, and has had a profound impact on American Jewish life." The course will meet once a month in someone's home and is for anyone in the community who would like to know more about Reconstructionism. The text will be Staub and Alpert, Exploring Reconstructionism. The fee for the course is $10.00, and one can register by calling Marty Rosenberg at 390-9062.

Dutch Police nab cemetery vandals By Henriette Boas AMSTERDAM (JTA) — Dutch police have arrested six youths for the desecration in late August of a Jewish cemetery in Middelburg, the capital of the southwest province of Zeeland. The youths, who are between the ages of 16 and 19, daubed swastikas and anti-Semitic slogans on 25 tombstones of the old Sephardic cemetery as well as on buildings in other locations in Middelburg. The vandalism provoked widespread indignation among the local populace, who staged ii Inrj^e march to protest the desecrations.

Israeli paper shuts down

By Hugh Orgel TEL AVIV (JTA) — Afler months of rumors that it was suffering deep financial problems, the Israeli afternoon tabloid Hadashot has folded. The daily newspaper's 40 editorial staff members and managers learned by telephone early Monday that they nee'd not report for work, as the paper had just published its last issue. The paper's present losses are said to exceed $30 million. Hadashot, which means news, was established 10 years ago by the Ha'aretz publishing company, which publishes the prestigious Ha'aretz daily broadsheet newspaper.

Fire your imagination with sizzling Chinese Food

Battered bride confronts shoppers By Cynthia Mann JERUSALEM (JTA) — Shoppers in the downtown Jerusalem department store, Hamashbir, were treated to an unusual spectacle last week, part of a campaign to end violence against women. In the ground floor section where discounted men's shirts are usually displayed, a woman with a black eye and her arm in a sling was dressed in full bridal regalia. The "battered bride" was telling bemused onlookers that despite the "injuries" she had sustained at the hands of her fiance, she loved him and believed marriage would solve everything. "And love is the most important thing, isn't it?" she repeatedly cajoled the curious spectators. They shook their heads, sadly, in disagreement. The "bride" was an actress from a group called Kafka's Orphans. She performed the dramatic skit throughout the afternoon Nov. 25, as part of a day marked internationally to protest violence against women. The scene, sponsored in part by the city's welfare department, also marked the kickoff of 16 days of activities to highlight the problem of battered women. The campaign includes a protest to be held against what is perceived as lenient treatment meted out by courts to men convicted of violence against women. According to campaign organizers from the Israel Women's Network, there are an estimated 200,000 battered women in Israel, and segments of the public are surprisingly tolerant toward this. A survey by Geocartographia has found that about 14 percent of Israeli men believe there are situations in which it is appropriate for men to beat women. The survey showed 7 percent of women HISO believe this. This could be illustrated by the response of a saleswoman at the department store who was asked how she felt about the battered bride spectacle. She first replied that although the rhow disrupted the store's activities, she felt it was important to bring the problem out into the open. But she also said it is the responsibility of women to behave in such a way so as not to provoke violence from men.

By David Landau JERUSALEM, (JTA) — Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin has angered Palestinian negotiators by saying that the Dec. 13 deadline for reaching an agreement on Israeli troop withdrawals from the Gaza Strip and West Bank town of Jericho is not "engraved in stone." But Israeli officials said that they expect an agreement with the Palestine Liberation Organization will be reached more or less on schedule. The officials spoke after Sunday's weekly Cabinet meeting, at which Rabin and senior defense ofTicials briefed the ministers on the current state of the negotiations for implementing the Palestinian self-rule accord that was signed in Washington in September.

Chinese Burial Request poses problem By Hugh Orgel TEL AVIV (JTA) — Israeli officials have been stymied by an unusual request from Beijing: that two Chinese officials killed recently in a helicopter crash in the Negev be buried in Israel. The problem is that there are.no non-sectarian cemeteries in Israel. The Israelis were taken totally by surprise by the request. They had been expecting, as is usual, to deliver the bodies of the foreign officials to their homeland for burial. The Chinese officials were killed Nov. 24 during an oPTicial visit of a Chinese economic delegation. Three Israelis were also killed in the crash. The dead Chinese were identified as Ma Dixian, mayor of Xian Yang, Manchuria, and Zhang Li, vice chairman of the Manchurian Council for Technical and Economic Development. The request for burial in Israel has an added significance. In China, where burial practices were once sacrosanct, cremation has now become the order of the day as the country of more than \.'i billion persons runs out of land for cemeteries. The burial request has been taken up by the Foreign Ministry, the Ministry of the Interior, the KcligiouH Affairs Ministry ond the Chevra Kadisha Orthodox Jewish Burial Society.

Hadassah Linen Shower The Omaha Chapter of Hadassah announces its annual Linen Shower fundraiser. Corrine Levin is chairman of the event. This year we have decided to tie in the shower with Hanukkah, a time to remember miracles. With all their incredible medical advancements, Hadassah hospitals continue to make miracles happen today," Mrs. Levin said. Money received through the shower is used to purchase baby supplies in the Hadassah facilities at Ein Karen and Mt. Scopus in Israel, in which over 5,000 babies are bom each year, according to Mrs. Levin. To continue the Hanukkah theme, eight gift categories are provided for donors. The top gift category is $100, on down to $8, which supplies one day of bandages. Donations may be sent to Corrine Levin, 906 S. 96th St., Omaha 68114.

MISSIO^^ Thank You! By PhylUs H. HofTman Editor's note: The author was one of 14 Omaha women who went on the UJA Women's Leadership Mission to Israel from Oct. 20-31. 1 was one of 14 fortunate Omaha women who recently participated in a joint Omaha/Denver UJA Women's Mission to Israel. The trip was incredible! We tf^ured, visited and experienced Israel, with a special focus on women's issues. We saw a shelter for battered women, where Jewish women were trying to get their lives together. The group also visited Neurim, a youth aliyah village where the young people there were learning so much: new languages, new citizenship and the freedom to be openly Jewish. We also visited an absorption center which housed Jews from a particular location which we can't discuss because of the fear for the safety of members of their families left behind. We spoke with Yael Dayan about the complexity of the peace negotiations, and we listened to a leader of the "Women of the Kotel (Wall)" talk about their struggles to gain religious rights for women at the wall. We were invited to the home of a Moslem-Israeli citizen and heard about her hopes and problems. We watched young women army inductees training, and we toured the Judean Desert to see the settlements in the occupied territories. We attended an extravaganza of talent presented by young people, looking forward to peace in the region. And, we experienced gracious Israeli home hospitality. From Kibbutz Misgav Am on the Lebanese border to Jerusalem, there was hope and excitement about the peace accords. But, we also spoke to people who fear the accords, who do not want to give

Tifereth Israel sponsors dance

Hamas and PLO vow revenge By Cynthia Mann JERUSALEM (JTA) — In a situation that appeared to be rapidly heating up, the Islamic fundamentalist movement Hamas vowed revenge for the killing of two of its leaders last week by Israeli security forces. And the mainstream Al Fatah faction of the Palestine Liberation Organization joined Hamas in calling for a strike to demonstrate Palestinian unity in face of the killings. The solidarity between the two groups is an unusual one, in thai the PLO has signed a self-rule accord with Israel and the pro-Iranian Hamas has condemned the accord.

m »ouQMh. How can you know that you have the right gift for Hanukkah? It's not an easy thing, poking out a gift for these kids, right? Here's an idea that's sure to please: a gift certifteate from Homer's for the music they're all dancing to these days. It's what they really want anyway and besides, it's easy to wrap. Just lick the envelope. This offer is so good we guarantee there will be spas-wtiere Trotter. fitness tfsmers ait LONSVITTCBIiOl tfie preferred exercise TtKieeofthewofWs equipment nx»tpresti3KXJSt«altn Get ttie facts on
