Super Sunday raises $40,000
Cindy and Bruce Goldberg (right), Super Sunday Chairmen with Sheri Idelman and Barry Siff, who volunteered to train callers. By Barbara Chandler, Federation public relations director Super Sunday, in its new time slot, proved just as successful as in previous years. In the past, the annual phonathon for the UJA/Federation Campaign occurred in February, but it was held on Dec. 11 this year. Cindy and Bruce Goldberg, Super Sunday Chairmen, announced that nearly $40,000 was raised, reflecting a 16 jjercent increase over 1994. Super Sunday is the largest single day fund-raising event of the aimual campaign. The change of date moved Super Sunday into the heart of the campaign. It also offered donors the opportunity to guarantee reserved seating tickets for the community event on Feb. 9, with guest speaker Abba Eban, by making their pledges before Dec. 31 with an increase over last year's gift. ^ The conununity event was definitely an incentive to increase gifts," noted Mrs. Goldberg. "We heard many callers thanking donors for their gifts and explaining that they would be receiving information about tickets to the eventi 'Everything went very smoothly and we truly appreciate the enthusiasm of the callers, the support of our sponsors and the involvement of our Super Sunday committee members." Mr. Goldberg added, "We want to aactend a special thanks to Sheri Idelman and Barry SifF for training our Super Sunday callers and to Idelman Telemarketing for the use of their offices." Additional Super Sunday sponsors who contributed products and services were Bagel Bin, Bagel Bistro, Bags & Baggage, Baker's^ Supermarkets, Greenberg Fruit Company, Ideal Pure Water, Julio's, K-B Foods, Keystone Pharmacy, Larry Herman, Mid-Continent Bottlers, No Frills Supermarkets and Zio's Pizza. Super Sunday committee members were Kimberly Robinson, David Goldberg, Tom Venn, Nancy and Joel Schlessinger, Susan and Andrew Friedman and Deb Goldstein. Each donor who makes a gift to the 1995 UJA/Federation Campaign will receive a postcard, to be returned to the Federation as soon ae passible, regarding seating for the community event. Donors who make their gifts by December 31 with an increase over last year's gift may request reserved seating tickets by retuming.the postMrdi. ^ There will also be seating on a space-available basis for all members of the Jewish community. Donors who have not yet been contacted about their pledges should call the Federation ofBce at 334-8300, ext. 247. ""•"

By Rabbi Myer S. Kripke Parashat Shemot Ibn Ezra: On the Writing of EUatory To what extent is the slavery of our ancestors in Egypt historical? Did it really occur? Was the Exodus-which looms large in Jewish tradition!-an actual historical event? There was a time when higher Biblical criticism denied the whole business of the slavery and the Exodus. Solomon Schechter correctly called this era of Biblical criticism, Higher Criticism-Higher AntiSemitism. It was, indeed, a polite anti-Semitism hidden under false academic pretenses, a kind of "gentlemen's" anti-Semitism. That kind never faded. The historian, Martin Gilbert, found it firmly ensconced in the "higher" levels of British government during the Hitler period. Later, higher criticism recognized that the slavery and the Exodus were, indeed, historical, though it was not necessary to assume all the details to be exact and verifiable. Consider now the sober and brilliant Abraham ibn Ezra (12th century Spain). We hardly expect historical writing of our kind in a 12th century Biblical commentator. But note first: Ibn Ezra is concerned with the problem of how "seventy" male Israelites in Egypt produced-not too much later, at the time of the Exodus-600,ObO males who came out of Egypt, with their families. He seizes on the word "vayishretzu," which our JPS translates "were prolific." He finds it to mean that often there were twins in the families, and, further, he notes that he himself knew of a case in his own experience where there were quadruplets. Thus he defends the possibility of the Biblical account. More important is another of his insights. The text has it, "A new king arose over Egypt who did not know Joseph." Rashi comments, "He didn't want to know," meaning he refused to recognize Joseph's accomplishments for Egypt. Ibn Ezra here is more astute than Rashi and more the historian. He comments that "a new king" means a king not of the royal blood. Samson Raphael Hirsch interprets it to mean that the new king was the first of a new dynasty. Students of Egyptian history know about the "dynasties" in that history. Hirsch is absolutely correct in his interpretation. Ibn Ezra, without the benefit of modern historical research, pierces through the shadows of ancient history with his astounding insight: he identifies the situation immediately and accurately. It is this. There was a dynasty of Egyptian pharaohs who were invaders, not natives. These Hyksos, as they are called, came from southwestern Asia. It was one of these monarchs whom Joseph served. When native Egyptians arose and deposed the foreigners, it was natural that they down-played, or denied, the accomplishments of that foreign dynasty. The new pharaoh "did not know Joseph.' If you admired the famous Ibn Ezra before (Browning did!), here is another example of the brilliant reaches of that famous mind.

Bronfman youth fellowships applications available ALBANY, N.Y-Applications are now available for the 1995 Bronfman Youth Fellowships in Israel. The Fellowships, now in their ninth year, offer an opportunity for 26 students entering the 12th grade to spend five weeks in Israel this summer. Students will be chosen on the basis of character, intellectual interests, special talents and leadership qualities. In the competitive selection process, merit, not financial need, is the standard for selection. While Uving in Jerusalem, the Bronfinan Fellows participate in seminars and dialogues with a diverse rabbinic faculty, representing a wide range of Jewish perspectives. They explore Jewish text against the background of Israel's land, culture and customs. The Bronfman Youth Fellowships in Israel is a program of The Samuel Bronfman Foundation, Inc., of which Edgar M. Bronfman is Chairman. In explaining the purpose of the Fellowships, Mr. Bronfinan said, "Our hope is to open lines of communication among a group of outstanding young people on the mtyor issues confronting the Jewish people in all its diversity. In that process, we believe, they will discover that there is a common Jewish agenda that transcends the differences among them." The Bronfman Youth Fellowships program begins on July 10, 1995, with a two-day seminar in New York City. Students return from Israel Aug. 16. All meals will be kosher, and Sabbath activities will be in the spirit of the day. All expenses are covered by the program, including round-trip international transportation, room and board, travel in Israel and incidentals. High school students in the United States and Canada who will be in twelfth grade in the fall of 1995 may obtain application forms and detailed information by writing: The Bronfman Youth Fellowships in Israel, 17 Wilbur Street, Albany, _ NY., 12202, or call 518-465-6676. jA Completed tfppTKalions must be postmarked no later than Feb. 1. 1995. Finalists will be notified March 5 and finalist interviews will be held during the weelc of March 27. Names of the 1996 Fellowship recipients will be announced on April 7.

By Morris MaKne
Will the real Jonathan Pollard please stand up? Since the arrest of Jonathan F'ollard in 1985, hundreds of newspaper and magazine articles have been written, books have been published, and countless speakers have addressed this case of the American who spied for Israel. As one who has had the opportunity to sift .through much of this information, or disinformation, as the case may be, I have been left with some lingering thoughts: Why did Pollard accept money from hraell Why did Caspar Weinberger demand »uch a strong prison sentence? Why did Israel wait so long to ask for clemen^cyf E • An opportunity to resolve some of these questions f presented itself during my recent vacation in Florid^tvhen my brother. Rabbi Edward M. Maline, of Temple Emanu-El of Ft. Lauderdale, invited me to attend one of his Sunday morning lectures. The guest was Carol Pollard Levy, Jonathan's sister, and I had the opportunity to chat with her over breakfast as well as listen to her lengthy account of her fcuniiys stories. It was interesting to hear that the Pollard family i lost 75 of its members at Auschwitz, and that Jonathan observed his bar mitzvah by visiting concentration camps in Europe. I also heard that any money given to Jonathan by Israel was used to bribe Saudis for needed information, and that this was recognized I7 the sentencing judge who declined to impose a monetary penalty usually given to spies who spy for money. In addition, his sister pointed out that Caspar Weinberger wae outraged over the fact that Jonathan had blown the coverup of Bechtel's chemical weapons plant in Iraq. Weinberger had been connected with Bechtel. Why Israel has not been more forthcoming in trying to help Pollard was not really explained. My brother said he had asked Abba Eban that question and that the Ambassador replied that he was "dismayed" at the lack of concern on the part of Israel. Pollard's sister, however, said Eban had drafted Israel's response on the Pollard affair absolving Israel from any direct responsibility. She said also that author John Loftus, who also was on a lecture tour in Florida, told her that Jonathan remains imprisoned because of what he knows about the Iran-Contra debacle.

To the Editor: An article in The Wall Street Journal tells of the generation gap between the parents and the children of Palestinians on the West Bank. The youth consider their parents as traitors and swear that they (the young) will derail the peace process. I don't think they will succeed, but we will see a lot of bloodshed on both sides. These youth have been taught hatred of the Jews almost <irom birth. A bright spot is the peace with Jordan, and we will see some other successes,-but we must also realize that the opposition will fight to the death to try to upset the peace. We must be patient for the years that it will take and not be discouraged when things go bad. I am optimistic!

Bert's Eye View, By Bert Lewis Years ago, when six of us sat down to dinner every night, I spent a lot of time looking over meat choices in the market. I was always looking for menu ideas, wondering what to cook in order to please everybody. In fact, more than once I can remember jokingly wishing somebody would invent something new in the way of meat. Well, I'm not certain "invent" is the right word, but a recent ad in the newspaper informs me a new choice is becoming more available all the time. The ad was placed by the Central States Ostrich Association and they were announcing a "trade show and seminar" which would focus on Emu, Ostrich and Rhea. < Part of the ad read "find out more about this fastgrowing Agriculture Alternative;" this information would include 'hatching, incubation, chick rearing, facility design, research, genetics, processing and health and management. And, to cap off the seminar, a Saturday night Ratite meat banquet". First of all, while 1 certainly know what an ostrich is, I went to the dictionary to check out a few other words, I learned that Ratite referred to a division of birds which do not fly. A Rhea is one of those big creatures, somewhat like an ostrich in appearance, as is the Emu. The latter I already knew about~rm a crossword puzzle person. Anyway, here is a new agricultural industry idea which is becoming known around the country. At last, there is an answer to my plea for something 'different" to cook and eat It sounds a little weird, but probably would be perfectly acceptable to some folks. People eat all sorts of things listed in the meat category. Fve heard of eating bear meat, for example, and alligator meat too. People who hunt often eat all manner of stuff I wouldn't, but hey, it's a free country. So who is to say something is wrong with eating ratite meat? Now, let's go on with that question: maybe the mashgiach says there's something wrong with eating it>.Is it kosher? If these birds are slaughtered •
Judaica committee
Back row, from left: Holly Fineman, Lionel Wohlber^er, Margo Riekes and Alon Mor. Front, fk-om left; Gloriann Levy, Joyce Cohen and Helen Epstein. Not pictured: Randy Bowman, Cheri Ginsburg, Shirley Goodman, Carole Greenberg and Avena Shukert. The Jewish Community Center of Omaha has announced the formation of the Judaica Committee under the chairmEUiship of Marge Riekes. Mrs. Riekes explained that "The purpose of the Judaica Committee was to create a more Jewish ambiance at the 'J* and to educate all the people who enter the Center." Some of the plans for this coming year are to create beautiful felt banners at the front desk of the Center for every Jewish holiday and a special "Welcome' banner in English and Hebrew between hoLdays, all handmade by Cheri Ginsburg. There will also be a brochure explaining each Jewish holiday at-the front desk and at the Member Services desk. The Passover display will be handmade by Edith Rogert. For the future, the committee is looking into a book display for each holiday, holiday videos and music, display cases and perhaps a computer game. For information, call Gloriann Levy, Jewish Cultural Arts Director, 334-8200, ext. 232.
according to ritual, does that make them ok? What are the rules about creatures like these, which certainly don't have hooves or scales? And do they chew a cud? I don't know, therefore if I really was serious about wanting to know, I'd have to go to a proper authority. I know the right people to ask, of course. The next question is, would they think I was completely nuts to be asking such kashas? Tell you what....I'm gonna ask. And if I get a really interesting answer, I'll let you know. And while' I'm at it, if it turns out to be ok, I'll ask if there's a special brucha to be said before eating ostrich. You can never tell, right?

'Perspectives' addresses hate crimes issue By Cindy Kaufman, steering committee Have you ever refrained from telling a person you were Jewish (or married to a Jew) because you were concerned about their reaction? This question was asked of the members of the Perspectives group recently as the evening's topic centered on hate crimes. Approximately 45 members of the young leadership group gathered together to listen to Cantor Michael Weisser of the South St. Congregation in Lincoln, and Bob Wolfson, executive director of the Anti-Defamation League in Omaha. Cantor Weisser shared his 1990 story of hate and love with KKK member Larry Trapp. His story made national headlines when he and his family were harassed by Trapp and eventually turned him into their friend and part of their family. Cantor Weisser told the group that the reason for hate crimes is the lack of love some people feel. One must reach out to the most abused, underprivileged people in our society and help find a way to make America work for them. One family's actions, he sadd, can make an impact on the world. Mr. Wolfson explained that in 1925, 5% of the population belonged to the KKK. Today closer to 20,000 to 50,000 are known members. Although the members are fewer, Mr. Wolfson said, their equipment is much more sophisticated and they have a better understanding of how to use the media to their advantage. He said that 50% of hate crimes today are committed against homosexuals, 25% against African Americans and 12% against Jews. There is no law against hate crimes in Nebraska. They are acts motivated by hate, he said. They are substantiated in the Supreme Court, but we need to address these issues in our own state legislature. Mr. Wolfson urged the members of Perspectives to get involved in their community. The next Perspectives session will be Jan. 31. Information about time and location will be mailed to members.

Al Ross stands in the room where Israel was declared a state in 1948. There I was, standing in a room that I had seen pictures of hundreds of times. And what was so special about this room? A plain room, unadorned except for a picture of Herzl hanging on the wall behind a table with 13 ordinary chairs, a speaker's stand and several rows of folding chairs. Let me explain about this special room in Independence Hall in Tel Aviv that we visited on our recent UJA Shalom Mission to Israel. My mother, Sylvia Ross, had been a Zionist since her teenage years, as was her mother before her. They had both, in their own time, been member, treasurer, secretary and president of Hadassah, AMIT and Jewish National Fund. Israel was a constant topic of dialogue around our house. So, it's no wonder I grew up caring a lot for Israel. Also, our family had more than an organizational attachment to Israel. When my father came to America from Biolistock in 1915, his two sisters left for Palestine where their families live today. Some live on a moshav in the Golan Heights and others in the Gaza Strip, keeping up the pioneering spirit of their immigrant families. I'm very proud of them. During the hard times in the 1930'B and 1940's, we sent them large sticks of salami, which was sometimes their only protein for a month. And often we sent medicine or medical supplies. So, why was I so touched by standing in this room? This room became, for me, the symbol of Israel. It was part of my Talmud Torah experience and being raised in a home where both sides of the family had a special feel for Eretz Israel. And, what was this room? It is the room where Ben-Gurion announced the statehood of Israel in May 1948. Not a fancy room. The table and chairs on the raised platform were very simple, and folding chairs were scattered about. We sat in this room and heard a tape-recording of Ben-Gurion's Our Naw Gama Department Featuras Brunawick Billiard Tables, Foosball Tablaa and Air Hockay

voice reading reading ffie the Declaration Decl voice of Statehood. The new chapter of the Jewish people emanated from this room. There we were, in the very spot where the dreams of statesmen like Herzl and Wiezman would finally come true. At exactly 4 p.m., on the fifth day of lyar 5708 (May 14, 1948) in this room, Ben-Gurion said "By virtue of the natural and historic right of the Jewish people and of the Resolution of the United Nations, Wc hereby proclaim the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine, to be called Israel." When he finished, he said, "Let us stand to adopt the Scroll of the Establishment of the state of Israel." One by one, the leaders in the room put their signatures on the scroll. Then Ben-Gurion announced that the terrible British White paper of 1939, with its restrictions on Jewish land purchase and immigration, was annulled. Here we were, 50 years later, sitting silently in the same room listening to the voice of Ben-Gurion proclaintiing the statehood of Israel. How meaningful and touching it was for all of us on the mission to be in the room where the state of Israel was formed in modem times. As we stood there, singing Hatikvah with tears streaming down our faces, we felt the strength, the years of waiting, the realization of a dream come true in our lifetime. The existence of Israel should not be taken for granted. We must all help insure the future of our state by our commitment, our love and caring, and financial support
