Friedel director resigns tFriedel Jewish Academy is undertaking a nationI u search for a new director following the resignation of Michele J. Riojas, according to Michael Katzman, chairman of the FJA Board. Mrs. Riojas submitted her resignation upon her busbaad'a promotion, which calls for the felly's transfer to Kanaas City. She will continue in tiie position of director while the search for a replacement is underway. *We deeply regret that Mrs. Riojas must leave Friedel. Her dedication, energy, and professionalism have gained the love and respect of the Academy's faculty^ students, and parents, and she has been an immeasurable asset as administrator and educator," Mr. Katzman said. Mr. Katzman said that Mrs. Riojas has contributed significantly to expanding Friedel's general academic curriculum. Under her guidance, the Academy is making plans to include a state-of-theart, computerized curriculum upon moving into the Gordman Education Center, he said. The move is projected for the spring of 1996. "^e are grateful to Mrs. Riojas for leading the Academy to a new level of excellence which will enable the next director to move ahead in positive directions. This is especially important for us as we approach our move into a splendid new building,' he added. Mrs. Riojas expressed mixed emotions about leaving Friadel. *I am extremely pleased that my husband's achievements have been recognized. At the same time, I am very, very sorry to have to leave Omaha and give up my role as director of FJA,* she said. '1 have every confidence," she added, 'that the dedicated toachera and involved parents of Friedel will support my successor as they supported me. I know that, together, they will assure a continuation of the excellence which has become synonymous with Friedel.' According to Mr. Katzman, the matter of most importance after acquisition of a new director is the stepping up of fund-raising. *We hope the community will respond generously to a campaign aimed at providing the best In new technology for the student's of Omaha's Jewish day school,* he said, He pointed out that for Friedel Jewish Academy, as for other Jewish day schools throughout the country, tuition meets only an approximate 60% of •xpensas. 'Other expensiBS must be met by the ganerotlty of a Jewish community that recognizes the importence of an excellent Jewish education.*

Brandeis report says Jewish organizations out of sync By Robert Israel Jewish Advocate, Boston A new Brandeis University study conducted by Gary A. Tobin of the Cohen Center for Modern Jewish Studies in Waltham concludes that the Jewish organizational world will have to change dramatically—and soon—if it is not going to be left behind by changes in modem Jewish life. "The present focus and emphasis of many Jewish organizations and institutions are no longer in sync with contemporary Jewish life," Tobin said. "The current concern over the issue of Jewish continuit/ masks the real issue facing the Jewish community: whether or not the existing structure has the capacity to build and nurture the Jewish community of the future." Barry Shrage, who, as head of Boston's Combined Jewish Philanthropies, has been a champion of the phrase "Jewish continuity" and all of ite implications for insuring a generational, educational and organizational link from one generation to the next, agrees with Tobin. "It's absolutely true," Shrage said. "The issue isn't the phrase, it's what you think it means, and whether you have a program to deal with the issue. The real issue is this, what it means to be a Jew in the modem world." Tobin's study, "Creating New Jewish Organizations and Institutions," addresses the challenge of modernity by noting that while Jewish organizaUons and institutions continue to serve many vital functions, these organizations often ignore the needs of contemporary Jews or pay insuflident attention to new types of cUente. Tobin liste community building, enhancement of Israel- Diaspora relations, development of information networks, and the strengthening of Jewish
families, as priorities that are often unaddressed. Among the populations whose needs are not being met, Tobin says, are young unmarried adults, divorced and "blended" families, intermarried cou pies, and relocating Jews of retirement age. "In order to face today's challenges," Shrage said, "we need to make real plans. We need to increase the level and quality of Jewish education, build a new relationship to Israel, and to make a new commitment to social justice. We must create a Jewish life worth living. It's not just about the number of Jews in the world, but whether we can create a Jewish culture compelling enough so that Jews are attracted to it." As an example of a Jewish agency that has undergone such an evolution, Shrage pointe to the Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) of Greater Boston. "JCRC has moved from an anti-Semitism agenda to a social agenda," rage said. "It is now moving totally to the language of social justice, building coalitions in the inner-city like Freedom Summer and the Dudley Street Initiative, and involving many younger Jews who are searching for this path to involvement. Tobin's study advocates a fundamental redesign of the entire Jewish comqiunal structure, including: * New institutional approaches to Israel/Diaspora relations which take into account the cultural dif ference between Jews of the Diaspora and of Israel. * Institutional support for Jewish identity programs to enhance religious life and spiritual growtli. * Tlie development of new, innovative institutions for conmunity building and development.

Sparks from The Word By Rabbi Myer S. Kripke Parashat Bereshit Ci>eation and Creationism A profesgar at a university sponsored by an evangelistic Christian movement mourned, in a recent book, that evangelists seldom use their minds — certainly not about religion. So said a recent newspa|)er report. A friend of mine, whose name and dty I will omit, told me of a conversation with an orthodox rabbi, whose name I will likewise omit. Their conversation touched upon creation, as the account is so dramatically told in our Sidrah this week. "Do you believe this account?" my friend asked. "I don't ask questions,* replied the rabbi. The Christian professor may very well have asked and answered his own questions about creation and may well be among those who call for the teaching of creationism in the public schools. I don't think the rabbi would. The evangelists, who don't use their minds, however, and the rabbi who doesn't ask questions, are together in the category of literalists. Literalists think the words of the BibJ^ are sacred, which I do too, but also sacrosanct, whirnT I do not. By sacrosanct I mean immunity to questioning. I will let the Christian professor go on for himself. But I think that the rabbi has placed himself in a basically unJewish position. Those orthodox rabbis (fortunately not all of them) and their followers have denied the whole approach of the Pharisees, who found interpretation of the Bible essential to Jewish scholarship and Jewish life. This becalne the watchword—interpretation—of the Rabbis for all time. These orthodox rabbis know, of course, that the Talmud from beginning to end proceeds on the basis of idea confronting idea, question confronting opinion and question confronting answer. It can be said that the Talmud encourages the student continuously to question itself! This intellectualism of the Talmud, which these orthodox rabbis love in itself, is what they deny when they look at the Bible—unless the Talmud or Midrash has already offered interpretation on a particular passage. No, the creation story, wonderful in itself, and provocative and inspiring and profound religiously, cannot satisfy us on the question of how the world came into being, and how human life originated. Here we need geologists and astro-physicists and biologists and many others. Creationism is not subject to the tools of inquiry of any of the sciences. It is not a science itself. It should be taught in religious schools and churches and synagogues for its fkrrreaching values.' But it is not a subject for public, non-religious schools. 1,1' In the beginning there was God and light and Ufe. Shall we not rejoice in that, as we read the hallowed words that open our Bible?

Dr. Hillman to lecture By Gary Javitch Depression and Prozac are some of the themes psychotherapist Dr. James Hilbnan will touch upon during his two day seminar today and tomorrow. Along with the above topics, the former director of studies at the Jung' Institute in Zurich will address issues including relationships and marriage. . •;"•.,-•' His 20 books include W«Ve Had 100 Year* of Psychotherapy And The World's Still Getting Worse, a Book-of theiMorith Club Selection. The author and lecturer, reached dt his Connecticut home, is not active in pursuit of his Judaism. "There are ways of being Jewish that do not involve membership in a congregation, " he stated. He expresses his religion in different ways. One way in an assimilated society is to raise questions about culture. His task, he said, is to "disturb complacency and bring people to think, rather than judge." On Friday, his topics are "In Defense of Melancholy: On Prozac and Proftindity" and "The Politics ofTherapy." Depression is the subject. In the Saturday sessions, he defends both marriage and pornography, explaining that idealizations and practicalities are necessary for happy unions. He asserts that pornography is a natural function of the soul's imagination. As such, it cannot be censored, nor should we try to. The title of these seminars are "Happy Marriages: or Why is Hera Queen of Heaven?" and "Pink Madness: or Why Does Aphrodite Drive Men Crazy with Pornography?" Continuing his commitment to introduce speakers like Robert Bly to the Omaha area, local psychotherapist Steve Abraham sponsored Dr. Hillman. Each all-day seminar at the Joslyn is $65.

Neo-Nazi political party rallies despite attempts to ban meetings

By Gil Sedan fl BONN (JTA) — The extreme right-wing National^ Democratic Party held two political rallies this week despite attempts by local authorities to pre- fl vent the meetings. • Authorities in Bonn and in the Bavarian city of Eriangen had attempted to prevent the neo-Nazi party from holding the rallies in their respective cities. But party organizers appealed to the courts, ^ which gave the green Ught for the meetings. • Only 30 people showed up for the rally in Bonn, ^ while some 100 people participated in the Eriangenn rally. In both cases, the demonstrators were outnumbered by the police and leftist protesters. Ounter Deckert, chairman of the National< Democratic Party, spoke at both rallies. •IB Deckert stood at the center of a recent national' scandal after a state court in the southwestern city of Mannheim gave him a one-year impended sentence and • fine for denying at a public rally UM^J the Holocaust ever took place, •HM

Candidate forum draws 300 to JCC
By Morris Maline A primarily Jewish audience of nearly 300 made no secret as to what they perceive to be campaign issues during a candidate forum Sunday at the Jewish Community Center. i By their applause and questions, the audience made it clear that they want women to have the right to an abortion, that they want the separation of church and state, gun control, welfare reform, and continuation of aid to Israel. Participating in the forum were Sen. Bob Kerrey, U.S. Rep. Peter Hoagland, Gene Spence, Republican candidate for Governor, Andy Abboud, rppresenting GOP Senate candidate Jan Stoney, Bill Protexter, representing GOP Congressional candidate Jon Christensen, and' Alvin Abramson, representing Gov. Ben Nelson. Their representatives said Ms. Stoney and Mr. Christensen were unable to attend because of illness. Gov. Nelson had said earlier that he would not be able to attend because of a scheduling conflict. The forum, sponsored by Omaha Section, National Council of Jewish Women, and AD/CRC, previewed for each candidate to make short opening and closing statements, and to make short responses to questions from the audience. Although the format limited candidates to brief statements, the audience was able to obtain glimpses of background and behavior during the almost two-hour program. For example, Mr. Spence described how he grew up in the small town of Franklin, population about 1,200, a town which had one Catholic family and one Jew. He said, the Jewish man, Dr. David Rosenberg, made such an impact on the community that way back in the 19408, residents of Franklin donated .money to help with the emigration of Holocaust survivors. In addition, Mr. Spence said that he respected Dr. Rosenberg so much that he named one of his sons, David. All the candidates praised Council and ADL for turning out so many who obviously were concerned about the political process. By applause, the audience emphasized some of their concerns and their favorites. A m^or burst of applause was directed to Rep. Hoagland when he spoke in favor of Roe vs. Wade and said that he had co-sponsored legislation providing for freedom of choice. Cong. Hoagland also hit on differences between himself and Mr. Christensen, sa3ang that his opponent opposes the ban on assault weapons, the crime bill, and access to abortion. Cong. Hoagland said also that Mr. Christensen would channel tax dollars to fund home schooling. Another jab at the Christensen campaign came during a discussion of welfare reform when Sen.. Kerrey raised his voice and chastised Mr. Protexter for saying that welfare recipients lose their incentive to work. He pointed to his own pension of $18,000 for war injuries, and asked.'Does this take away my incentive?' Participating in the question and answer part of the program were Sara Juster, Cookie Hoberman and Bob Wolfson. They categorized the questions from the audience and related them to the candidates. Mr. Abboud said Mrs. Stoney is a strong supporter of Israel and had served as co-chairman of a fund raising effort for the Holocaust Museum, that wrong incentives are being given to welfare recipients and that the Federal government should be kept out of the lives of people. Mr. Protexter said Mr. Christensen wants to make a difference in the lives of people, that the government is out of touch and that policies should be directed toward empowering people.
Participating in the forum were firom left, Sen. Bob Kerrey, Gene Spence, Alvin Abnuneon, representinc Gov. Ben Nelson, Bill Protexter, representing GOP Congressional candidate Jon Christensen, U.S. Rep. Peter Hoai^and, and Andy Abboud, representing GOP Senate candidate Jan Stoney. Cookie Hoberman served as moderator, Sara Juster as timekeeper and Bob Wolfson as coordinator. The event was sponsored by Omaha Section, National Council of Jewish Women and ADI7CRC of the Jewish Federation of Omaha. He said also that Mr. Christensen is in favor of medical IRAs, insurance portability and guaranteed issue. One of the major exchanges took place in response to a question on whether the United States is a Christian nation. Sen.. Kerrey called for the separation of government from religion and no school vouchers. Mr. Protexter said government should not infringe upon people's religion, that vouchers create competition and that local school boards should make the decision on a moment of silence. Mr. Spence asserted that children should be taught at the local level with school boards making the decisions on prayer and the teaching of creationism, always protecting the rights of everyone. Cong. Hoagland pointed to this as a key issue in the campaign saying that the doctrine of separation is spelled out in the Constitution and that it would be a "terrible mistake" to teach creationism. He said, for example, that Steve Riekes had pointed out that there are multiple versions orGenesis, and whose version would be taught? Mr. Abramson said the United States is not a Christian country and that the strength of the nation is due to its diversity. Mr. Abboud reiterated Ms. Stoney's plea to keep the Federal government put of the hves of people.
Editor's Note: Although the Jewish Press, because of its non-profit status, does not endorse political candidates, we are allowed to report on the election campaigns. Our coverage encompasses three areas: We report on what candidates say when they appear before Jewish groups; we grant interviews to those candidates who request them and make themselves available to a JP representative, and we comment on subjects which we perceive to be of special interest to Jewish readers.

Following the candidate forum, the Kerrey campaign released the text of an audio tape to show that Ms. Stoney had gone on record as approving the concept of a Constitutionial Amendment forbidding abortion. The campaign had charged that Mr. Abboud had failed to confirm Ms. Stoney's support for a Constitutional Amendment eliminating a woman's right to choose an abortion.
Letter to the Editor THh^dito^"'"^^"^^^"'^""^^^^'" Shana Novak's heartfelt report, 'Our visit to Dachau" (Sept. 2) notes that she "was amazed to see how Judaism had simply vanished from the face of Western Europe." Sadly, that is almost also j the case at Dachau. ' Though many thousands of non-Jews, as well as Jews, suffered at Dachau, the Encyclopedia Judaica notes that 80-90% of those who died were Jews. The memorials at Dachau would lead an • observer to believe otherwise. | There are Catholic, Protestant and "Weimar" Christian memorial chapels, and other crosses. A Catholic Carmelite convent was built at Dachau in 1964. There is one Jewish memorial (pictured at the lower right of Ms. Novak's photos). The main memorial sign speaks only of those who died at Dachau because they resisted Nazism, not because they were Jews. That is why, on Aug. 21, a group of us from the Coalition for Jewish Concems-Amcha, led by Rabbi Avi Weiss, demonstrated at Dachau, it culminated a week of demonstrations also at Auschwitz and Birkinau in Poland and Theresienstadt in the Czech Republic, focusing on the Christianizing of religious symbols at Nazi death camps. Holocaust revisionism at the very source of the Shoah cannot be permitted to continue. Better to let the campa remain remain as they were, without the competition of religious symbols, for us to glimpse the full extent of Hitler's horrors. , Glenn iUchter, press liaison I Coalition for Jewish Concerns - AMCHA

emple Israel congregants Temp donate to the Food Bank Temple Israel congregants donated 4,550 pounds )f non-perishable food to the Omaha Food Bank luring the Yom Kippur High Holy Day Hunger Project. For the third year in a row, this is the argest single contribution everrnade by a church )r synagogue in Omaha to the food bank. During he past three years, abnost three tons of food has jeen donated by members of the congregation. ; The Temple Israel Social Action Committee sponlored the food drive. On Rosh Hashanah, grocery jags donated by Baker's Supermarkets were dis;ributed to congregants with instructions to fill hem with non-perishable food and return to the Temple on Yom Kippur. "We are excited about collecting another record unount of food," said Gary Kaplan, chairman of the Temple Israel Social Action Committee with his vife, Sally. "Because the members of our congregaion cared, our food contribution will help hundreds of people avoid the trauma of hunger. While we 'asted for religious reasons, we also shared with >eople whose fast is neither voluntary nor symbolDon Schnizel, director of the Omaha Food Bank, expressed his appreciation for Temple Israel's continuing efforts. 'People don't realize the need for Food in our community." Without organizations like Temple Israel, it would be hard for us to proyide food to all the pantries, meal sites, shelters and soup kitchens. We really appreciate Temple's tremendous participation." •The High Holy Day Hunger Project was initiated 3y the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism in Washington, D.C. Reform congregations throughout tlie United States participated in the program on Yom Kippur n a collective effort to fight hunger. The 1994 goal was to collect 1,000,000 pounds of bod which was enough to feed over 1,500 people for lyear.
Mental illness Interfaith worship service The Lincoln Interfaith Council and The Alliance for Mental Illness of Lincoln will co-sponsor Mental Illness Interfaith Worship Service' Monday It 7 p.m., at Congregation B'nai Jeshurun, 20th smd South Streets, Lincoln. The public may attend. This is the first such interfaith worship service to )e held in Lincoln focusing on the healing role of the religious community and mental illness, the mnouncement stated. "Mental illness is a topic not easily addressed in )ur society, including within houses of worship. Dflentimes, persons with mental illness are misunierstood and even feared, and, therefore, are not nade to feel welcome at worship services or as paricipants in other activities of the religious commulity. "Barriers to worship are not limited to the lack of ihysical accessibility."

B'nai Mitzvah
By Harry Paskowitz At the last Eariybirds discussion. Art Grossman presided. He started with a near religious format with excerpts of a Leo Tolstoy clipping on "What is a Jew." In it was written that the Jew is molested, oppressed, persecuted, trampled, butchered, burned and hanged, but the Jew is the pioneer of liberty, freedom, civilization and emblem of eternity and cannot be destroyed. He also discussed the cruel activities of Walkin' Willy Otey and the money and effort wasted in prolonging his life. Dave Dvorkin commented that attorneys will continue these long trials as long as they get paid. Abe Gendler agreed. Art said the million-dollar coffee spill was a ridiculous verdict. Dr. Margolin said England has a pre-court system where non-sensical cases are tossed out before they start endless litigation. At the luncheon. President Sam Kaplan thanked the servers. Motzi was by Abe Gendler. Benschen by Keith Peltz. Norm Wohlner gave the hospital report, which included Ina Levich, Joe Franklin and Lloyd Friedman. We stood in memoriam for Paul Steinberg and Dick Hiller. Lester Waxman gave the treasurer's report. Sam announced Louie Levine is a new member. Esther Pilster entertained with 'Hats off to the 20th Century." She displayed and modeled ladies hats and gave the happenings that occurred during the decades. Next Oldtimers meeting is Thursday.

By Sarah Raful They told me I had to say good-bye to the wall. I had to say good-bye to Jerusalem. I had to say good-bye to Israel. It was the last day of my six-week wonderful trip to Israel. We were done with.the talent show, final banquet and dance. We were ready, physically, to go home, and then we went to the wall to say good-bye. It was such an unbelievable feeling to stand next to a wall that has been through just as much crying, laughing, fighting and happiness as the people who were actually there. I touched the wall and felt God looked down upon me. When you are there, it feels as though God is there and listening to you. It's great! It was the easiest, out of my whole experience, to gay good-bye to the wall, because I knew I would see it again!

'Caring for aging parents' topic at Sisterhood brunch Four geriatric consultants will join Rabbi Paul Drazen in a panel discussion on caring for and relating to aging parents at a brunch sponsored by Beth El's Sisterhood Sunday, Nov. 6 at 10 a.m. Panelists will explore 'Honoring Thy Father and Thy Mother: Achieving Balance Between the Parent and the Adult Child." The program will conclude with questions from the audience. Panelists will include Darlene Golbitz, registered nurse; Robert Lepp, attorney; and Joan Bernstein, a member of the LOVE board. Shane Kotok, director of Social Services, Jewish Federation's Bureau for the Aging, organized the panel and will serve as moderator. "Many of us at Beth El are deeply concerned about aging parents. We may be troubled by their declining abilities and we may fear for their safety. We must be very careful, however, to resist the inclination to make every decision for them, discourage their activities, or tell them exactly what we expect them to do," said Mrs. Kotok. "As we continue through our middle years, anxieties regarding aging parents often become enmeshed into a nagging unease about our own again process," she continued. "We hope this program will help adult children assess their role in meeting their parents' needs and achieve a healthy balance that is comfortable for everyone," she concluded. Mrs. Golbitz, an R.N. at the Blumkin Home for the Jewish Aged who is completing postgraduate work in gerontology, will discuss an adult child's decision about the degree of independence an aging parent may safely and sensibly assume. Mr. Lepp will concentrate on such legal issues as taking the Power of Attorney. Joan Bernstein, in sharing personal experiences with the care of several aged relatives, will emphasize methods she has learned for maximizing the dignity of an elderly person. Rabbi Drazen will provide a Jewish perspective on caring for the elderly and touch on the current role of the synagogue and community. Panelists will probe the issue of avoiding parentchild role reversal. They will reveal warning signs of neurological, psychological and physical conditions that require special attention. They will also address the particular problems of adult children separated geographically from aging parents. Cost of the discussion and brunch is $4, which includes a contribution to Mazon. For reservations, call Norma Shpayher at 6910235, no later than Sunday, Oct. 30.
By Morris Maline IB: books, books. '^^ Holocaiist education takes many forms: plays, survivors' testimony, museums, and more recently — a motion picture. Now, a pew effort — the art form of ballet — is available to enhance the learning of this dark period in human history. A troupe from ballet Omaha enlightened an audience of 160 at the Jewish Community Center last week with excerpts from Anne Frank, the ballet headlining Omaha Ballet's new season. (See Gary Javitch's interview on page 7.) In introducing the scenes, Sharon McGill, ballet mistress, referred to the intensity of the dancers as they performed in a modern, contemporary fashion with dynamic music. She pointed out that Ballet Omaha is the third company in the United States to perform this piece, following Florida and Cincinatti. The half-hour presentation, along with Ms. McGill's narrative, enabled the audience to follow the plight of Anne Frank, her family, and others confined to hidden quarters. This writer was moved particularly by the innocent grace of the Anne PVank dancer and the ominous portrayal of Gestapo by a trio. After the performance, tickets were sold for the Oct. 7-8 shows at the Orpheum theater. Stuart Muskin, a member of the ADI7CRC board of directors, credited Gloriann Levy, director, Jewish Cultural Arts Council; Jane Batt, ADL/CRC assistant director; and Leslie Wallace, JCC dance director, for sponsoring the evening and providing educational support to Ballet Omaha. Tom Fellman isponsored the' reception following the performance.

Anne Frank ballet to headline new season By Gary Javitch The award winning "Anne Frank" will headline Ballet Omaha's new season, according to Kathy Sullivan, the compcuiys executive director. Performed around the world, the ballet was created by Mauricio Wainrot, an Argentinean-bom Jew. The choreographer will be in attendance when' his ballet holds its third Mauricio Wainrot American premiere on Oct. 7 and 8 at the Orpheum Theater. Currently serving as the artistic director of the Ballet Jazz of Montreal, Mr. Wainrot developed the iballet using Ann Frank's diary themes to reveal the raw emotions of the story's characters. Mr. Wainrot's parents fled Warsaw just weeks before the Nazi Blitzkrieg in September 1939, eventually ending up in South America. Most of his family did not survive the Holocaust. Despite their escape from the horrors of world war, the Wainrots could not flee from the political subjugation they endured under several Argentinean dictatorships. Thousand of her citizens disappeared during the years Mauricio was growing up. The ballet reflects recurring themes of Ann Frank's experiences as well as his own, living in a repressive society. Always a lover of the arts, by the time he reached
An Evening of Enchantment
V. MERTZ
the age of twenty, Mr. Wainrot knew he wanted to give exj^ression to his many feelings in the form of dance. ' The sentiment of the recurring issues of the human condition reveal themselyes in the beauty of the ballet. In 1991, "Anne jPrank" was recognized as the 'Best Dance Production in Chile." Commenting on his success, Mr. Wainrot said, "I am proud that each dance company performing the ballet loved the work." The ballet attracted us, observed Ms. Sullivan, because "it addresses all the universal human issues we look at today." Along with "Anne Frank," Ballet Omaha will present 'Put on your Dancin' Shoes" and "Concerto Barocco." For ticket information call 346-7322. The event is sponsored by the Jewish Federation, Omaha Steaks International and KPMG Peat Marwick.
Spielberg launches project After making one really big movie about the Holocaust, Steven Spielberg now intends to make thousands of little ones. The Academy Award-winning director of Schindler's List announced plans last week to create the Survivors of the Shoah Visual History Foundation, which will videotape survivors around the globe telling their personal Holocaust stories. The project will produce the world's largest library of survivor testimonies. "This archive will preserve history as told by the people who lived it, and lived through it."

Early Sukkot prompts celebration By Michele Chabin JERUSALEM (JTA) — Warmer than usual temperatures and the completion of the shmitta year are adding a new dimension to this year's Sukkot celebrations in Israel. The fact that the Jewish hohdays began in eariy September thi^ year has provided Israelis with an extended summer vacation — and they are making the most of it. Taking advantage of the sultry weather, and the fact that all schools and many companies are closed for Sukkot, hundreds of thousands of Israelis have flocked to the seashore or completely flown the coop to Europe, Greece and Turkey. About 1,000 Israelis with second passports were also expected to travel to Jordan, now that Israel is permitting dual passport-holders to visit their Arab neighbor. Many of those who decided to remain in the capital for the holiday shopped for lulavs, etrogs and Bukkah decorations in the huge Mea Shearim openair market. Located on the main street of Jerusalem's most religious neighborhood, the market is a once-a-year happening that attracts religious Jews from all over the country. Closed to traffic a few days before the start of the festival, Mea Shearim Street was all tumult and activity as people walked from booth to booth, comparing the price and selection of sukkah decorations. In addition to posters of religious texts and famous rabbis, the decorations included red and green tinsel and tiny flashing lights — decorations usually associated with Christmas. American yeshiva students in Israel for the year also could be seen and heard celebrating.

,
"How to be Joyous,' a song workshop presented by Dr. Lionel Wolberger, set the tone last week at Friedel Jewish Academy, where students celebrated Sukkot with a Ruach Day. The Ruach (Spirit) Day gave students the opportunity to explore Sukkot observances past and present and take an historical look at the tradition of the sukkah, said Michele J. Riojas, Friedel's director. In addition to learning about Sukkot's rites and symbols, students created artwork, played learning games, watched videos, listened to stories, and sang songs associated with the festival. Younger students built miniature sukkot using popsicle sticks. Dr. Wolberger and Rabbi Joseph Friedman, members of the FJA faculty, displayed the lulnv and etrog. Dr. Richard Freund, Jewish Studies Consultant, led students in Ushpizin, the Biblical quiz game for Sukkot. "Our theme-based Ruach Days are fulfilling their primary goal of providing enrichment and motivation. Moreover, they have proven to be an important means of integrating general and Jewish studies into a fully balanced curriculum. We will continue to utilize this outstanding teaching tool several times during every school year," the director said. According to Mrs. Riojas, students especially enjoyed decorating the sukkah, which Friedel parents and children had erected. Many of the decorations represented the children's own artwork, she said. One workshop focused on the Shivah Minim (Seven Types), the fruits and grains which are abundant in the land of Israel and which, in the Jewish tradition, are associated with Sukkot. Eliane Freund and Deanne LeMaistre, co-presidents of Friedel's Parent-Teacher Organization, introduced students to the Seven Types, including dates, figs, pomegranates, fruits of the vine, olives, barley, and wheat. Students discussed the nutritional properties of the Seven Types, the different foods containing them, and ways to utilize them. Each student received a flyer on Sukkot recipes. Compiled by Carol Katzman, an active Friedel parent, the flyer features Lentil and Goat Cheese Salad, Double Corn Bread, Jewish Apple Cake, and Cranberry Relish. "Sharing holiday recipes is one of the many ways we maintain a nurturing environment and encourage a close connection between home and school," Mrs. Riojas said.
Gloria Kaslow to lead book discussion group A new anthology of poems, stories, and essays that explore the Jewish mother-daughter relationship will be the subject of a book discussion led by Gloria Kaslow on Thursday, Nov. 17, starting at 1p.m., at the JCC' The anthology, edited by Faye Moskowilz, is entitled "Her Face in the Mirror: Jewish Women on Mothers and Daughters." Among the celebrated writers represented in the anthology are Ann Roiphe, Chana Bloch, Letty Cottin Pogrebin, Tillie Olsen, and Faye Moskowitz herself. Two weeks after the book discussion, Ms. Moskowitz will keynote the annual Community Luncheon at the JCC Wednesday, Nov. 30, at noon. The luncheon, a highlight of the annual Jewish Book Fair, is sponsored by the Jewish Federation Library in cooperation with Omaha's Jewish women's organizations. Selected readings will be available shortly at the Federation Library, according to Edythe Wolf, librarian. Additional information is available by calling the libraxy, 334-8200, ext. 230. Ms. Moskowitz directs the creative writing program at George Washington University. She is the author of three books which capture the poignance of looking back on an observant Jewish childhood and the intense desire to pass the Jewish heritage to children and grandchildren. They are titled "A Leak in the Heart," "Whoever Finds This: I Love You," and "And the Bridge is Love," Gloria Kaslow, who holds a B.A. from Vassar College and an M.A. in Modern English Literature from UNO, has concentrated on Jewish literature, culture, and history in a lifetime of teaching. A faculty member at UTTO for 20 years, she previously taught in the Beth El Religious School and in adult study groups sponsored by the women of Beth El. She has been a member of the board of the Jewish Federation Library for countless years and served as president for three terms.

Clinton says l^ussia in compliance with 1974 legislation on emigration By Susan Bimbaum NEW YORK (JTA) — Jewish groups are backing President Clinton's decision this iweek to certify Russia in compliance, for the first time, with the terms of the 1974 Jackson-Vanik Amendment. That determination will exempt Russia from the annual presidential review of its emigration practices that has taken place since Congress adopted the Cold War-era amendment, which denies mostfavored-nation trade privileges to countries that do not allow free emigration. But the State Department will still be required to issue semi-annual reports to determine whether Russia remains in conipliance with the amendment. Clinton's decision, conveyed in a letter to Congress recently, came one day after the National Conference on Soviet Jewry broke with 20 years of policy by issuing a statement urging such a presidential determination. The president is expected to announce his decision before meeting at the United Nations with his Russian counterpart, Boris Yeltsin. The two leaders will return to Washington for a two-day summit later in the week. The National Conference, the leading agency representing the American Jewish establishment on the issue of "Soviet" Jewry, recommended that Clinton take the step to end the annual review of Russia's emigration practices in a statement Monday. "This was not an easy decision, because we're dealing with people's lives. But it is the right decision," said Mark Levin, National Conference executive director. "We did this knowing that it's always possible that the situations could change. It's about recognizing progress when progress takes place." Levin hailed Clinton's decision as "an appropriate step." The move, which appears to have broad support, marks a mtgor departure for the Jewish community, which lobbied heavily for the amendment. Sponsored by the late Sen. Hpnry "Scoop" Jackson (D- Wash.) and former Rep. Charles Vanik (DOhio), it became a major tool in pressuring the Soviet Union to liberalize its emigration practices. Each year since 1990, the National Conference and other Jewish groups have recommended that the president issue one-year waivers of the amendment's trade sanctions against first the Soviet Union and later Russia, in recognition of the substantial increase in Jewish emigration that has taken place since former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev first allowed tens of thousands of Jews to leave the country. But until now, groups monitoring the rights of Russian Jews have insisted that trade benefits for the Soviet Union and its successor states be linked to an annual presidential review of their emigration practices. Clinton's determination that Russia is in compliance with Jackson-Vanik does not mean that the National Conference has called for a repeal of
Jackson-Vanik. It also does not mean that Russia is being permanently "graduated" from the JacksonVanik process. What it does mean is that the conference — an umbrella body representing 50 national Jewish agencies and more than 300 local federations and community councils — recommended that there no longer must be annual certification that Russia is in compliance with the terms of the amendment, explained Levin. "The determination does not close the books on the amendment but recognizes that there has been unbelievable change in the way Jews are being treated by the government," said Richard Wexler, National Conference chairman. "It exempts Russia from the yearly review-waiver process, .which it has been going through since 1992 for Russia, 1990 for the entire Soviet Union," he said. "Under the amendment, a country determined to be in compliance continues to have its emigration policies closely monitored by the United States," the National Conference noted in its statement. "Should there be a deterioration of Russia's emigration policies, the president has the legal authority to revoke the finding of compliance," it said. Jerry Goodman, founding director of the National Conference and a current member of its board, said the group's statement is "a good thing, for two reasons: one, to show that the Jewish community is responsive to changes; and two, that JacksonVanik is flexible and can be used to respond to those same changes. This is what the amendment was designed to do." It also "supports the president," he explained. "The president makes the judgment wheUier they are in compliance, and therefore the responsibility falls in the president's hands." The National Conference statement makes note of the fact that "since 1989, more than 200,000 Jews from Russia have been permitted to emigrate," mainly to Israel. And in the same time period, the number of so-called "refusenik cases" — Jews refused permission to emigrate — "has been reduced significantly." Clinton's decision and the National Conference statement appear to have broad appeal among Soviet Jewry advocacy groups. For instance, the Union of Councils, an umbrella body of grass-roots advocacy gproups that has often sought more stringent requirements of the Soviet Union and its successor states than the National Conference, is in agreement with the decision despite lingering reservations, including the occurrence of a new refusenik case. Both groups said that a year-old Russian government panel, the Lavrov Commission, is showing itself to be a dependable instrument for hearing appeals on existing refusenik cases. "We wanted to try to be able to support the program that Mr. Yeltsin has made, yet we need to make it very clear that he still has a way to go in order to be in full compliance," said Pamela Braun Cohen, president of the Union of Councils.
But one longtime activist expressed dismay upon learning the decision. "Even though the number of refuseniks is very low compared to years ago, the battle is not over, and we should not abandon our soldiers in the field," said Glenn Richter, national coordinator of the Student Struggle for Soviet Jewry. "When you're so close, you don't give up." The statement issued by the National Conference is directed at Russia, which is considered the successor state to the former Soviet Union, said Levin of the National Conference, "We will deal with each of (the other successor) countries on a case-bycase basis," he said. The statement was approved unanimously Monday by the National Conference's Board of Governors, during a telephone conference call. It reads; "Following an extensive review of the evolution of Russia's emigration practices and policies, the National Conference on Soviet Jewry concludes that the Russian Federation continues to make significant progress in this area." It later adds that "based on these developments," the National Conference "will recommend and support a presidential determination that Russia is in compliance" with Jackson-Vanik. Levin said the National Conference took the action "because we believe that it is important to recognize continued progress by the Russian government, and we felt with the upcoming summit, along with the ongoing progress, that this was an appropriate time to make this decision." Added Wexler: "Certainly, from all the reports we have received, including our regular contacts with the Vaad — the organization of Russian communities — free emigration from the Russian Republic is a reality." (JTA correspondent Matthew Dorf in Washington contributed to this report.)
Germany gets tough on Holocaust denial By Miriam Widman BERLIN (JTA) — Germany's lower house of Parliament has passed a wide-ranging crime bill that includes provisions making it easier to prosecute those who profess that the Holocaust never took place. The bill passed by the Bundestag also includes a provision increasing the maximum sentence to five years' imprisonment for such an offense, known here as the "Auschwitz Lie." An initial proposal had called for a three-year prison term, but politicians from the opposition Social Democratic Party pushed for the tougher sentence. The bill's passage took place after Cierman lawmakers hammered out a compromise in a conference committee. Passage of the bill had been delayed because of controversial provisions dealing with whether police and secret service agencies should be allowed to eavesdrop on conversations.

Jewish singer roars on 'Lion King' By Marshall Hoffiotan The American Jewish World If you've seen Disney's summer blocltbuster film "The Lion King," their current advertising campaign implores, see it agaip. And this time, Usten for the singing voice of the adult Nala, cubhood friend and later love interest of Simba. That roaring voice is sung by St. Paul, Minnesota native Sally Dworsky, now a resident of Los Angeles. Ms. Dworsky, working towards her goal of a solo singing career, has made a name for herself from a Lumber of background vocal projects. She toured for five months with ex-Eagle Don Henley, sang with Peter Gabriel on 4 tribute disc to poet^songwriter Leonard Cohen, backed up Neil Diamond and Jewish pop favorite Peter Himmelman. Ms. Dworsky — who attended the University of Minnesota and a summer kibbutz ulpan program in Israel — had been used by the Disney company before. She sang a song on a TV movie that Disney made and also was used to sing on a demo for the "Beauty and the Beast" single that later became a big hit for Peabo Bryson and Celine Dion. "I did the vocal Celine ended up doing," she explained. "I enjoy demo singing, but it gets to be hard as you try to define yourself as an artist, " said Ms. Dworsky. The "Lion King" prcgect started out as a demo gig for her, as well, but the filmmakers ended up using her actual voice in the movie. The song she sings in the film, "Can You Feel the Love Tonight," originally started out as a duet between Nala (Dworsky) and Simba. It was later changed so that the song begins with a voice in Nala's head, and eventually gets sung by the whole jungle. "It evolved into four lines," Ms. Dworsky quipped. "I don't deserve all the kveUing Vm getting." Although she did not get to meet Elton John, one of the film's songwriters, on this project, Dworsky said she met John before at a benefit for the Rain Forest when she was touring with Henley. At that event, she got to sing on-stage with John, Henley, Sting and James Taylor. While Disney sends her an endless supply of promotional pieces on "The Lion King," Dworsky said
I^JUSTCOMrCS,(NC. 11814 So. 25th St.

she has not "felt a direct impaH on my career from this." Dworsky has been assigned to a publishing company where she is developing as ,a singer and songwriter. One of her songs, "The Simplest Thing," will appear on am upcoming Gladys Knight album. She has just started to perform her original songs in L.A. clubs and is sending demo tapes around to mcuor record labels. She will also appear as a vocalist on the upcoming R.E.M. recording. "I try to come back often to Minnesota, at least two to three times a year," Dworsky said. "I have a niece growing up fast." "I don't want to live (in L.A.) forever," she said, citing the smog and traffic problems. However, she does not buy into the negative stereotypes that Los Angelinos are somehow artificial and not substantial. "You can find community everywhere." She keeps sane, she noted, by hanging with friends "who think about other things besides movies and music. "But I want seasons and clean air..."
Soldiers fire on suspicious glider By Hu^ Orgel TEL AVrV (JTA) — Israeli soldiers fired recently on what they seud was a glider flying from Jordan over Israeli airspace. The soldiers, on duty near the Allenby Bridge crosaing between Jordan and the West Bank, said they began firing after they spotted the glider flying low into Israel. Security offidals immediately launched a daylong search of the area, but no traces of the glider or its pilot could be found. It was not clear if the pilot had been hurt or if the glider went down. Several previous attempts have been made by terrorists to use hang ghders to sail silently into Israel, but most attempts have failed. In November 1987, a Palestinian guerrilla flew a motorized hang glider into Israel from Lebanon. He managed to kill six Israeli soldiers at an army camp before he was killed. Since then, Israeli security has used sophisticated radar equipment, specially designed to pick out intruding light aircraft, to prevent the recurrence 'of such attacks.
Detention of Palestinian officer draws attention to theft ring By Hugh Orgel TEL AVIV (JTA) — Israeli police recently detained a Palestinian police officer who was driving a stolen Israeli car, drawing attention to the growing phenomenon of car thefts here. Monir Barghutti, 39, was detained after he stopped for a routine check at a roadblock on the outskirts of the autonomous West Bank enclave of Jericho. During the course of the check, Israeli security officials discovered that the ca!r he was driving had been stolen from Tel Aviv two weeks earlier. According to a senior Israeli police source, the car was stolen by a Palestinian who had been among those released recently fi-om IsraeU prisons as part of the implementation of the Palestinian self-rule accord. The former prisoner, said the source, is known to have stolen a number of vehicles and smuggled them into Jericho. Barghutti was dressed in civilian clothes at the time of his detention. A member of the security branch of the Palestinian police, he serves as a bodyguard for Yasser Abed Rabbo, information minister in the Palestinian Authority. According to Israeli police, the car was one of about 30 stolen vehicles being held by the Palestinian police at their Jericho base. Israeli officials said they lodged a formal complaint with the Joint Liaison Office, a group of top Israeli and Palestinian offidals overseeing implementation of the accord. They charged that the Palestinians have rejected all requests to return the stolen vehides to their Israeli owners. Earlier, an IsraeU television station aired footage of a low-level helicopter search for stolen Israeli vehicles spirited away to the West Bank. The footage revealed a number of Israeli cars and commercial vehicles parked in rows at garages where workers were busy taking them apart for spare parts and repainting them for resale. The Palestinian police commander in the Gaza Strip has admitted that there are at least 5,000 stolen Israeli cars in the Gaza self-rule area. But he said Israelis were selling their cars cheaply to Palestinians, then claiming they were stolen in order to collect insurance money.

Behind the headlines: For Ulcraine's multitude of Jews, a singular question: to stay or go? ByLisaGlazer KIEV, Ukraine (JTA) — For the Jewish community,of Ukraine, one of the world's largest, the future looms like an ominous question mark. The dreams, desires, anxieties and uncertainties can be reduced to a single query: To stay or to go? Emigration to Israel is accelerating so rapidly that Ukraine now has the fastest-growing emigration rates in the former Soviet Union, according to officials with the Jewish Agency for Israel. Yet at the same time, Jewish life is beginning to flourish, with schools, camps, Yiddish clubs, newspapers, cultural groups and religious organizations expanding by leaps and bounds. Not surprisingly, planning ahead is difficult, especially since the national political situation is tense and unclear. "I have no sense of what's going to happen," said Rabbi Ya'akov Bleich, the chief rabbi of Ukraine's approximately 500,000 Jews. "I,don't think everyone is going to move out in the next three or five years, but then again, I wouldln't advise buUding a new synagogue." ^^The more people go, the more people come. This is our paradox," said Kira Verkhovskaya, a Jewish leader from Odessa, referring to the simultaneous trends of emigration and new affiliation with the Jewish community. For those boarding planes to Tel Aviv, financial j^obfeins appeat to be a primary motivation; While '' kveirage wiag^g are'stuck at about $20 a month, consumer ite'ms'hke clothing and appliance^ cost about " the' same as they do in the West. Industrial production is plummeting, market reform is only hiccuping along and hyperinflation means that Ukraine's currency, the coupon, now runs at more than 46,000 to the dollar. "For the most part, Jews are leaving for economic reasons," according to Zvi Rom, who oversees the Jewish Agency office in Kiev. ""It's not really aliyah, it's repatriation, because it's not for ideological reasons," he said. "As an -^Israeli, I would like to see Jews leave Ukraine because they have come to the conclusion that Jews should.live in Israel, but that is not what is. happening." Still, a growing proportion of Ukrainian Jews have decided to move to Israel after attending the

new Sunday schools for adults and sending their children to Jewish day schools. I- Others are leaving to be with loved ones. Neariy every member of the Jewish community here has close fi-iends or relatives living in Israel who are urging them to make the move. Another push is anti-Semitism. Wh^e the new president, Leonid Kuchma, is following the friendly policies toward Jews that have become the norm since independence, the country's sputtering economy is straining his staying power. But Jew-hating has not disappeared. Interviewed at a Jewish summer camp in Odessa, Igor Bloch, 16, recalled a recent performance of the Jewish theater group he belongs to in the eastern Ukrainian dty of Makejrevka. '"Some people cried out, "Avram, go away to Israel' and other things I don't want to say," Bloch said. "Our leader said, 'Don't worry, we will goP " The number of Ukrainian Jews choosing Israel is constantly increasing. While emigration statistics are dropping slightly in Rus6ia, where the economic and political mayhem has stabilized somewhat, Ukrainian emigration has nearly doubled in the past year, from 1,300 a month to 2,300 each month, according to Chaim Chesler, who oversefes the Jewish Agency in the former Soviet Union. Despite the many departures, Jewish life continues its vigorous revival in the land that produced Chasidic Judaism, populist Zionism and dozens of gifted Yiddish writers before the dark years of Soviet reJjression. Today Ukraine has not one, but two umbrella Jewish organizations. Kiev, the capital city, is home to three religious congregations and a welfare society serving 6,000 poor and elderly Jews. Active communities also exist in Odessa, Kharkov and dozens of smaller cities and towns. "Ukraine has a very lively Jewish community," Rabbi Bleich said. "The Jews here are more connected to their Judaism than those in Russia because it wasn't long ago they lived in shtetls. They have an emotional connection, while in Russia, people's relationship with Judaism is more philosophical." Arkady Monastirski, 33, the vice president of the
Jewish Council of Ukraine, calls himself an optimist when it comes to the future for Jews here. "People are working with us, helping us," he said. "Some people say Jews are history, their problems are old problems, but these people don't understand." One of the organizations providing assistance to Jews here is the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, which has offices in ICev and Odessa. '"Thexv is a future here, if only because there will be hundreds and thousands of Jews here for the next five or 10 years, barring any unforeseen catastrophe,*" {Recording to Charles Hof&nan, a former journalist who oversees the JDC office in Kiev. "Ihere is no reason why they should be deprived of the basic means and facilities to redevelop a Jewish life for themselves," he said. Those who remain and redevelop this Jewish life must grapple with the country's troubled past, which includes the Chmielnitsky massacres of Jews in 1648, the Petlyura pogroms of 1919 and 1920 and Babi Yar, where 33,771 Jews were shot and buried in September 1941. "In Ukraine, anti-Semitism is a tradition; negative views of the Jewish people have been passed down from generation to generation," said Monastirski of the Jewish Council. "But now many Ukrainians have married Jews and their children are now half-Jews," he said, adding tl^at such intermarriage can serve as a basis for reconciliation. Zinaida Fourmanova, a screenwriter in Kiev who recently completed a film examining the myths about the relationship between Ukrainians and Jews, believes that while Jewish history in Ukraine "has been very difficult, very tragic," the Jewish connection here is "still very deep." It's that connection, she said, that keeps her here to continue her work while the rest of her family has moved to Israel. "I feel it myself," she said.
In the 19th century, lavish meals of up to a dozen dishes per person were the norm—and the waiters t)rought out all the food at oncel
