Amara Kosher Meats ships anywhere in U.S. "Buying Kosher meat is easy." Amara Kosher Meats delivers Glatt kosher meats and provisions anywhere in the United States, the company has announced. For the 1.7 million Jews across the United States who observe dietary laws, "keeping kosher" is not always easy. While the number of Jews observing kashrut is on the rise, the number of kosher butchers in America has declined steadily for the past 16 years. For example, the 100,000 Jews in the Bronx, N.Y., once had a choice of 200 kosher butchers. Today, there are only four. A similar scenario has occurred in other urban centers around the country. In Denver, with 46,000 Jews, and in San Francisco proper, where there are over 200,000 Jews in the Bay area, there arc no kosher butchers. Jews have been forced'to travel up to several hours to stock up on kosher meat, poultry and provisions. "After visiting friends in Pennsylvania who complained of having to travel hours every month to visit the nearest kosher butcher I recognized an even bigger void around the country and started Amara Kosher Meats," said Jean P. Hill, founder and president of the mail order company named after her two daughters, Amanda and Clara. "Amara Kosher Meats provides the more than 500,000 families around the country easy access to kosher meats, poultry and provisions," she said. (Continued on page 8)
Blumkin Home receives highest State certification The Rose Blumkin Jewish Home has been certified "deficiency free" by the State of Nebraska which just completed its annual inspection. Yearly surveys are mandated by law for state licensure and Medicaid and Medicare certification. Inspectors, who come unannounced, spent six days at the Home. In addition to looking for errors in documentation, they review procedures such as medication passing, personal care of the residents, bathing, sanitation, and dietary conditions. They also survey general cleanliness and maintenance. Residents and their families are interviewed and given an opportunity to voice opinions and concerns, At the conclusion of the inspection, the state team declared that there were "no trends to create deficiencies." Bob Lepp, president of the Bureau for the Aging, said, "It's a wonderful result, and it is very unusual for a nursing home to receive this designation." Eugene Brandt, administrator, said that the high rating is "due to a lot of cooperation, work, and dedication by the entire staff." He compared the certification rankini; to the recent Olympics. "If this wore the ice skating competition, wo would have received all e*i."

Los Angeles for the past six years, has also 'concertized' extensively throughout New York, California and Israel. He recently released his debut recording, a collection of songs by Harold Arlen, Kurt Weill and Irving Berlin; all three were sons of cantors. Hji Cantor Kent Prior to earning his^| master's degree in sacred music at Hebrew Union «> College-Jewish Institute of Religion in New York, Cantor Kent received a bachelor's degree from the Manhattan School of Music in New York and pursued additional training at the Chautauqua Institute of Opera Workshop. He has appeared as tenor soloist in oratorios, with choral groups and with ihe Los Angeles Bel Canto Opera and newly formed Opera Dell'Angeli. Seating will be limited to the capacityiof the Temple sanctuary. Tickets must be purchased and paid for in advance but may be picked up at the door. No tickets will be sold at the door.

Assistant rabbi, cantor plan to leave Temple Israel Two of Temple Israel's professionals have announced plans to leave Omaha. Assistant Rabbi Dan Fink and his wife. Rabbi Laura Rappaport, will be moving to Idaho where Rabbi Fink has accepted a position as the first fulltime rabbi in the State. The Finks will be leaving this summer. • Cantor Webber-Gilat's husband, Ronen, has accepted a new position in Dallas and Cantor will be leaving Omaha in May. Announcement of their impending departures was made in the March 4 issue of Temple Israel Tidings, a publication distributed to members of ^ the congregation. fl In the president's column, Bob Freeman noted that a search committee would be formed to seek replacements for the two professionals. Mr. Freeman noted that the pulpit in Idaho affords Rabbi Fink n unique opportunity to practice his profe.ssion in an environment unique to reform Congregations, with mountains, rivers, wilderness areas and the like in immediate proximity and abundance. He said also that "There are few of us whose souls have not been touched by Karen's beautiful voice or lively spirit. "She has added a very special element to our services, and an element of creativity that always includes good taste and careful planning." Mr. Freeman said in his column that he appreciates the support of the congregation in connection with the next several months of transition.

^Editorial_^^_^^^^^__jB^MOTri8MaHne A review of Beau Jest The Jewish Community Center's current theater production of Beau Jest may seem to be a strange subject for an editorial, but please bear \vith me. Those of us in the news 'business' plus diligent readers and viewers of print and broadcast are aware that the bulk of current reportage features mayhem, murder and assorted natural disasters. It's difficult for Joe Average to walk around with a smile on his face considering the state of the world. I'm afraid that's always been the case. ' Thus, when an opportunity comes along for the family to enjoy an evening of pure entertainment with an abundance of belly laughs, such a time is not to be missed. That is why I am suggesting, no -- urging that you make the time to attend one of the performances. The show runs through March 20 and ticket information may be obtairied by calling 3348200. Without giving away any punch lines, let me say that the plot centers on a young Jewish girl whose love and compassion for her parents places her in difficult situations when it comes to showing off her boyfriend. An estimated 150 were on hand for the Saturday evening performance and the success of the production was evident in the smiles and conversation that followed the show. There was no doubt that everybody had a good time. The cast: Lisa Beacom, David Fiedler, Lois Nemec, Barry Summer, Patric Vendetti, and Stan Widman - thoroughly enjoyed performing and this enthusiasm came across to the audience. There is much in the play that relates to a Jewish family, but the high point for this writer was the enactment of a Passover seder. And here's a tip from me to you: watch for the facial expressions offered by David Fiedler - he's one funny guy. So here's a prescription for a good time. Release tensions of daily life with an abundance of laughs.
Letter to the Editor To the Editor The massacre by Dr. Baruch Goldstein of Arabs at the Tomb of the Patriarchs is just one more reason that peace will not come to the West Bank for many years. Because of the hatred of Jews by Arabs, developed and nurtured from birth to death, they will keep the pot boiling. The justified fear of Jews of that hatred will keep that side festering. So, unless both sides find a way to separate both factions with guns and fences, there will always be these emotional conflicts by minorities on both sides on the West Bank who do not want peace at any price. A few radical hot-heads can ruin any hope of peace and this latest incident proves it. The status quo seems to be the only way for now. I am discouraged! Norman Komcy, Omaha

SpBrRs from The Word By Rabbi Myer S. Kripke Parashat Pekude — Shabbat haHodesh On Human Acquisitiveness The Teapot Dome Scandal broke in American circles when I was a youngster. At that point, I had no understanding of it at all; but I was aware of the hurt in people's voices when they discussed dishonesties in the highest circles of government. Is nothing sacred? Are all politicians crooks? The suspicion lingers. It clouds our perception of powerful figures in government today. It reaches to the 'Congress, the agencies of government, to the Cabinet, indeed, to the White House and its' staff. Few adults can forget Watergate and all the "gates" since then. , Those of us who are Jews are aware of the not infrequent scandals in Israel, dishonesties in high places, misdirection of the funds raised in our communities with such sacrifice of time and energy and treasure.
These are the records of the Tabernacle. . . at Moses' bidding . . . under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the Priest." In fact, of course, there is no assurance ever, in any society, in any age, of complete honesty'on the part of those who have access to the use and direction of public funds. This is a bi,tter summation of the limited influence of religion, ethical teaching, and moral instruction. But the Midrash at least 'sums up the principle for us: "One must pass muster before human beings in precisely the same way he must pass muster before God."
The whole picture is disheartening, to say the least. What's wrong with human beings? The subject rises to our attention because of our Sidrah. (Were it not Shabbat haHodesh, wp would be reading a highly interesting Haflarah on the same subject.) Our Sidrah, without quite saying so, suggests that Moses gave complete records of the contributions for the Mishkan (Tabernacle) and the expenditures, not only to indicate how things were made, but also to make clear that he had acquired nothing for himself Who? Moses? Moses had to defend himself against suspicion of misappropriation of gold and silver!? The Midrash on our Sidrah states clearly and unequivocally what the Sidrah merely hints at. The Midrash quotes a rabbinic rule that no person alone may be appointed treasurer of the communal effort: there must be at least two overseers. Yet Moses was alone, as sole overseer? No, says the Midrash. Read the text carefully:
