Israeli officials downplay threat from Iraq By Hugh Orgel TEL AVIV (JTA) — Israeli military and political leaders are downplaying any threat to Israel following Iraq's troop movements near the Kuwaiti border in recent days. Confronted with what looked like a repetition of Iraqi strongman Saddam Hussein's 1990 invasion of Kuwait, Israeli intelligence officials said they were monitoring the situation, but did not believe Hussein would repeat the Scud attacks on Israel that he carried out during the 1991 Persian Gulf War. Lt. Gen. Ehud Barak, chief of staff of the Israel Defense Force, briefed the Cabinet on Sunday about the latest Iraqi moves, but said Israel did not need to take special protective measures to ward off an Iraqi attack. Deputy Foreign Minister Yossi Beilin also said he thought there was no direct danger to Israel. But, he added, "in view of what happened in 1990, we cannot be too complacent, and must keep a keen eye on what is happening in Iraq." Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of State Warren Christopher, visiting Israel for his latest round of Middle East shuttle diplomacy, told reporters the United States would provide "prudent" help for Israel if the Iraqi situation required it. During the 1991 Gulf War, the United States sent anti-Scud Patriot missile batteries to Israel, which was the target of repeated Iraqi Scud missile attacks. Israelis at the time donned gas masks and hunkered down in sealed rooms, fearing that Hussein would make good on threats to use chemical weapons against the Jewish state. But the Scud missiles were instead equipped with conventional warheads that killed two Israelis and caused extensive property damage.

By Hugh Orgel TEL AVTV (JTA) — M^'. Gen. Amnon Shahak has been chosen to serve as the next chief of staff of the Israel Defense Force. At its weekly session on Sunday, the Cabinet unanimously approved Shahak's nomination by Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, who also serves as defense minister. Shahok, currently deputy chief of staff, will replace Lt. Gen. Ehud Barak when Barak's fouryear term expires in January. Shahak, who will serve as the country's 15th IDF chief of staff, was Israel's top negotiator in the seven months of talks with the Palestine Liberation Organization that led to the implementation of Palestinian self rule in the Gaza Strip and Jericho enclave in the West Bank that began in May. During his army career, Shahak has held a number of key IDF posts, including commander of the West Bank from 1983 to 1986 and chief of military intelligence from 1986 until his appointment as deputy IDF chief of staff in 1991.

Parashat Lekh Lekha As Eagles GrO|W New Plumes It may be that the ancient liturgists chose the passage before us as our Haftarah from DeuteroIsaiah because this excited young prophet was about to declare the beginning of a New Exodus— from Babylonia to the Land of Israel. And this was precisely the same journey that Abraham took according to our Sidrah—from Babylonia (Haran) to Canaan (the Land of Israel). Our young prophet was certain that the Lord was about to make possible this new journey for the hapless Judean exiles in Babylonia. He saw the clear indications that Babylonia was about to fall to Cyrus of Persia. He was sure that the new militarypolitical situation would provide for the re-establishment of Judah and for the triumphant return of the exiles. He expressed his belief in theologica! terms: "They that trust in the Lord shall renew their strength as eagles grow new plumes. They shall run and not grow weary; they shall march and not grow faint." There is an absolute truth to the prophet's appraisal of the value of "trust in the Lord, an absolute truth and a relative truth. The absolute truth is that those whose faith in God is strong, whether in Judaism or in another religion, are better able to face adversity and struggle against it than those who are without faith and trust They act as though the strength of the Lord is with them and supports them. This is not to say that they are assured that their point of view or their goals will of necessity be established, no matter what. There were those in Israel who had faith, but the Assyrians destroyed their land. There were those in Judah who cherished faith and trust, but the Babylonians destroyed their country and massacred their people. This is the relative truth: that "trust in the Lord" helps in defeat as well as in victory. It helps to find meaning even in defeat. It assures meaning in life and value in the human endeavor. Indeed we may go so far as to say that belief in God and trust in God essentially are the same as the assurance of meaning in life and in the value of human endeavor. From this point of view, one does not always win. Disease is not always cured. Peace is not always achieved. World hunger is not easily conquered. Virtue is not always rewarded. But those who "trust in the Lord" are strengthened in this work for the good of humankind, even though they may not share in positive attainments in their lifetimes. Their victory may be only in the striving, while absolute victory remains far off in the future. But is it not enough in one's own lifetime to grow new plumes, Uke the eagle?

Candidates speak out at Beth El By Jo Carroll Two congressional candidates stated their objectives and answered questions at a political forum at Beth El SjTiagogue Sunday morning. Jon Christensen, the Republican nominee, described himself as a fiscal conservative. He asked the audience to "consider a return to the conservative m^'ority," in Congress. He stated he would introduce laws to cut staffs by one third and implement the first audit of Congressional books in 40 years. , Representative Peter Hoagland, the incumbent Democrat, described himself as a modern main stream legislator. He said his record "is an open book." He emphasized that he supports an assault weapons ban,"a balanced budget and college progreuns for children of the middle class. Members of the audience asked the candidates questions concerning late-night government programs for youth, abortion rights, term limits, loyalty and the situations in Haiti and Kuwait. Mr. Christensen stated he was against a program called "Midnight Basketball" because it called for federal money to solve local problems. He said children shouldn't be out that late. Mr. Hoagland said he favored such programs because ". . .saying they shouldn't be out isn't going to make the problem go away. An ounce of prevention is wo2^ a pound of cure." In response to a question, Mr. Christensen said, "I would vote in favor of a constitutional amendment making abortion illegal. Mr. Hoagland stated he was the co-sponsor of a freedom of choice bill." Mr. Christensen favors term limits saying he would only serve eight years. He said, "It is difficult to get people out of Washington. This system would get rid of the old and bring in the new." Mr. Hoagland said that term limits would punish states like Nebraska with lower populations. "Seniority is the only way for us to influence a legislative committee. Campaign finance reform is what is really needed." Both candidates said they respected the office of the president, saying that President Clinton is president of all the people. They disagreed, however, on the United States involvement in both Kuwait and Haiti. Mr. Christensen said, 'I don't know that we need to fix everything around the world." Rep. Hoagland said be believed Saddam Hussein was being driven insane by the embargo. "I think we should finish off what Pre^dent Bush didn't last time." He described Haiti as 'an accident waiting to happen."

Letter to Editor: lb the Editor: It was with a great deal of interest that I read about the establishment of diplomatic relations between Israel and Palau. During World War II, as a member of the Slst Infantry Division, I was involved in the invasion of Angaur, a tiny island of the Palau Islands. This action took place about the time of Rosh Hashanah and the cooks aboard the troop ship prepared a special meal for the Jewish men on the ship, just before we landed on the island. My friend, Norman Zevitz, also was among the troops who were involved in the Palau operation. Saul Libowski

Medicaid costs cited for budget shortfall By Morris Maline Nebraska's Lt. Governor said rising costs of Medicaid are the cause of the State budget going into the hok by $80 to $125 million. Kim Robak told B'nai B'rith Breadbreakers Wednesday that Nebraska spent $100 million oil Medicaid in 1980, $300 million in 1990, and will spend $600 million this year. The Federal government will assume $400 million of the 1994 coat leaving Nebraska with a total outlay of $200 million, she added. "Despite rising costs, Nebraska spent less money last year on state government than the year before,m and that this was accomphshed by doing things differently." , She said that Nebraska is consolidating services, and that for the first time, edl agencies are coordinating their activities to make certain that budget requests are not duplicated. In her 30-minute presentation, Lt. Gov. Robak covered a range of topics, but pointed to an upswing in juvenile crime as a majorissue. "There is a lack of a support system in the community. It's scary, and we have to intervene."

Wary of 'Radical Right'
BERLIN (JTA) — As German voters head to the polls to deterqiine whether Chancellor Helmut Kohl should get an unprecedented extension of his 12 years in ofGce, German Jewish leaders say their m^or concern is that the radical right parties do not make any gains. Given the results of recent state emd local elections and numerous polls leading up to the Oct. 16 national vote, there appears to be little German support for either the radical right Republican Party or the smaller ultranationalist Union party.

Bert's Eye View By Bert Lewis I heard an amusing discussion on TV recently, conpeming the different sounds car horns make. Actually, the point was that more expensive cars made more important sounds than those cars cost' ing less. (I was i going to say 'cheaper cars" but there isn't any such thing anymore.) Anyway, the examples included everything from a Rolls Royce to a truck and the sounds did indeed seem to reflect the cost But mostly it served to remind me of the way cars used to sound, way back when I was a little girl. I recall that as kids we used "sound effects' liberally, sometimes in place of toys. And we certainly all could do a car horn. Any kid knew it was simple-the mouth had to open for a big "ah ooo ga' or maybe 'ah roo ga'. THAT was the noise made to imitate a horn. Today, ifs a different ballgame. There hasn't been an old "ah oo ga' for decades; now wo have many sounds, some of which are almost musical. Most of our cars today have a horn which produces the sound of two different notes together. But there axe exceptions, of course. Some, such as vans or maybe those "workhorse" machines that all look like Jeeps to me, have a straight, nasal, somewhat unappealing sound. And then there's that big monster of the road, the semi-trailer truck. When one of those gives a blast, I want to yell "alright already...I'm moving, I'm moving!" And those great big buses which travel the highways also are capable of being heard in the next area code. Oh yes children, the horns of vehicles today sound very different than those of my youth. Seldom do we hear a simple beep-beep anymore. But when I remember what they used to sound like, I wonder why certain expressions were used. Expressions such as "honk" your horn, or maybe "toot" the horn. Maybe my early "ah ooo ga" inspired the "honk" term. Whatever the explanation is, I must say the sound of modern machines is more pleasant. However, not long ago I saw a very old car driving right down Pacific street. I believe it was a Model A, and the driver was obviously coming from (or going to) an antique car meet of some kind. He saw me looking at his old treasure and smiled; I waved and smiled back and guess what? He leaned on his horn and I heard AH 00000 GAH! Perfect.

B'nai Israel announces plans for adult education By Martin Rosenberg During 5755 (1994-95), B'nai Israel, the Reconstructionist Congregation, will take a threepronged approach to adult education. The first Shabbat morning of each month will be a Learner's Service combined with Torah study. The purpose of such a service is to take time, not only to say prayers, but to understand why they are said and what they mean. Rathr than simply reading the weekly portion of Torah, we will study a section in relation to selected commentaries and contemporary interpretations with Rabbi Ehrenstein. The first Sunday morning of each month, at 10:30 a.m., adults and teens will meet with Rabbi Ehrenstein at the Westside Conmtunity Education Center in Omaha, site of B'nai Israel Religious School. They will study various 'Aspects of Modem Jewish Experience." The course will examine religious, sodai and cultural developments from the 18th century to the present, including their impact on our lives today. On the third Saturday afternoon of each month, Rabbi Ehrenstein will lead a discussion on 'Jewish Perspectives on Contemporary Ethical Issues.' These discussions, which will be held in congregants' homes, start at 5 p.m., and are followed by a daii7-vegetarian potluck dinner and celebration of Havdalah. The first session will be Saturday at the home of Rebecca and Brent Bloom, 10116 N. 30th Ave., Omaha. All of the programs are open to the entire community. For further information or to register, call Martin Rosenberg, director of education, 390-9062 or 5542402.
