New chair uplifts Home residents

"If8 wonderftil."

"I can walk now.» it was hard before."

'T. feel safe when Fm using it." *It' is the Lift Ride Chair which was given recently to the Rose Blumkin Jewish Home by LOVE (League Offering Volunteers to the Elderly.)

And the quotes are by some of the residents who now have increased mobihty because of this gift.

Valerie Bohrer, rehabilitative and restorative aide at the Home, said the device enables one attendant to move a resident from a bed or diair to a standing position without Ufting. Once on their feet, residents can walk in "comfort and security" with only one person needed to assist.

Mrs. Bohrer added that "It's wonderful for both residents and the staff Some of our residents now can be ambulatory, with supervision. Whenever they get tired or want to stop, they just sit. The sling supports them, safely and securely. When they want to continue walking, they just lean forward and lift themselves."

The hydraulic Lift Ride Chair can be adjusted to any height for easy transfer from a wheelchair, bed, or arm chair, she said.

Bernice Horwich, chairman of the LOVE Steering Committee, said her group was thrilled to purchase what has become, in a few months, one of the most popular pieces of equipment in the Home.

Parashat Noah ' How to Disregard (!) Some Biblical Passages The startling contrast bptween the story of the Great Flood in our Sidrah and in other ancient flood stories must be mentioned. Floods must have seamed of world-wide proportions to the ancient, who, despite migrations and bedouin wanderings, must have spent most lives out in a very small area. (A college-student helper we once had at home had never been beyond Omaha-Council Bluffs.)

In none of the other ancient stories is the point reached in the lofty story of Cienesis: The Flood is God's punishment for immoraUty. If mankind cannot live morally, there is no poinf in his existence at all. Let's try once more, God must have thought, with Noah's family.

After Noah's sacrifices on emerging from the Ark, God promised never again to doom the whole of mankind. He had set His hopes too high. Mankind simply cannot be moral, "since the devisings of man's mind are evil from his youth."

It is astonishing and painful to see those pessimistic words in the Bible, coming from the Lord Himself Is this all that Man can be?

On the basis of this verse, and, more particularly, the sin of Adam and Eve, and of Cain's murder of Abel, Christianity was to build the concept of the Fall of Man and the doctrine of Original Sin. That Christian approach developed apace from support in Apocryphal and Pseudepigraphical Jewish literature of the first pre- and postChristian centuries. It was later emphasized by the Church Fathers and eventually adopted formally by the Roman Catholic Church. As I understand it, the Council of Trent (16th century) set the dogma as Man's Fall from original righteousness, his liability to the lure of the devil, and his subjection to God's anger; this is Original Sin, transmitted by the very fact of being born. . .But all of this can be removed, is removed by baptism.

Protestants followed, sometimes emphasizing even more the natural depravity of Man. In Judaism there was a two-step rejection of this doctrine. In the first place, the Rabbis excluded various books from the Bible. Among those excluded was Ben Sirs, for example. "Apocryphal" comes to mean, simply put, excluded. And the Pseudepigrapha (giving the names of ancient worthies as the authors of current writings) hke Enoch and Baruch, were probably never even given a chance.

But there was a second step. The Rabbis themselves had accepted an authoritative list of books, which became "Bible," "Tenakh." But they carefully and consistently denied by neglect any long-time, universal influence to the passages about Adam's sin, and Cain's, and others. They even disdained the pessimistic appraisal of mankind in what they had to consider God's own appraisal, 'the devisings of man's mind are evil from his youth."

Instead, they saw man as capable of the best, as well as the worst.

They developed the idea of vetzer tov (an inclination to do well) and a vetzer ra (an inclination to do evil). Every human being has free will. He/she can choose to be saint or sinner. Thus the Rabbis were able to disregard and downsize Biblical passages that clashed with their own ethical sensibilities.

And the freedom remains our heritage.

Deaths JANISYALE Services for Janis Lynn Yale were held Sundajr, 'Oct. 22, at Beth El Synagogue. Burial was' in Temple Israel Cemetery. She died of cancer at the age of 47.

Survivors include her husband, Donald; children, Adam, 21, Alex, 18, Andrew, 1^, and Jason and Laura, 10; mother, Roz Friedman; a sister, Susie Cohn, all of Omaha; and a brother, Alan Friedman of Los Angeles.

Mrs. Yale was a native of Omaha. She attended Harrison and Western Hills Elementary Schools, Lewis and Clark Junior High School and Central High School. Following graduation, she enrolled at the University of Colorado, where she met Donald, her husband of 27 years. They lived in Denver for 17 years and returned to Omaha in 1985.

Mrs. Y^e was an active owner of Borsheim's, the Omaha jewelry store purchased by her grandfather, Louis Friedman, and headed by her father, Ike Friedman, for 18 years. She served on the Borsheim's board of directors, was a jewelry buyer for the store and was often on the floor serving customers.

She was active in both performing and fine arts.

She and her family were patrons of the Omaha Symphony, the Joslyn Art Museum and sponsored a concert series entitled "Close Encounters With Music," which featured widely-known artists and ' guest performers. She was also an active collector of pre-Columbian and other early-period art.

While Mrs. Yale played an active role in the affairs of the Roz and Ike Friedman Family Foundation, much of her time was devoted privately. She became intensely involved in the lives of other cancer patients whom she came to know in the course of her struggle with the disease. She provided and received great comfort and inspiration from these often tragic relationships. Most poignant to her were the friends she made during the course of the experimental high dose chemotherapy treatments she and other high-risk patients received.

Memorials may be made to the Janis Lynn Yale Memorial Fund at Temple Israel.

LEO RODICK Services for Leo Rodick, 78, were held Oct. 22 at Mt. Sinai Cemetery.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Frances.

Survivors include a son, Bennet of Lincolnshire, III; a daughter, Helen Rabinowitz of Hermosa Beach, Calif; and two grandchildren.

Memorials may be made to the Omaha Jewish Federation.

MAY (TUCKER) ENOCH Services for May Enoch were held Oct. 19 at Beth El Cemetery.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Jacob.

Survivors include a sister, Sarah Lewis of Omaha, and nieces and nephews.

ROSE MORRIS Services for Rose Morris, 95, were held Wednesday at Beth El Cemetery.

A resident of the Blumkin Home, she was preceded in death by her husband, Ben, and son, Lester Finkel.

Survivors include a granddaughter, two greatgrandchildren, nephews and nieces.

Memorials may be made to the Rose Blumkin Jewish Home.

UIHHT'S FOR DINNER??

By Michael KrIctrBid

THE PERCEMHKER

fl ROVRL UICTORV

By Maggie Jacobton

I By Brian Nogg (fdllKlhir TEEN/USE)

Six years ago, my mother went on a mission to Isnaei. The biggest problem confronting my brothers, my father and me was what we were going to do lor dinner every night. I had always ioved the cooking shows on public television, and I figured this would be the time for me to shine. I was given a paper chefs hat and an oven mitt and told to use it in the best of health.

As it turned out, i only used them atxMit three times.

However, the times I did cooi(, I learned I couldl finish with an edible meal!

Soon, a wave oil Infomerciais hit home...first, the S n a c k ' n Sandwteh Maker."

It was so much Ulehal fun making pizza pockets, apple or blueberry pies, omelettes and even French toast. The Amazing Hand-hekj Blender-ChopperGrinder-and-Whipper was next. That lasted a kit longer than the sandwich maker -^ it did a lot more than toast the bread and whatever was inside.

Finally, I got a Juicer. For about a month, i would make any and every Unti of jutee imaginable.

0 Then came my first big challenge. I asked ipom if I couM make chocolate chip cookies, all alone. Reluctantly, •he said yes and left for an appointment. I had an hour and a half to make and bake a whole batch ol cookies and dean up the pans. I was successful.

From there, my "hotjby" took off.

I moved on to more diffk;ult cookies, folk>wed t>y dinner under Mom's supervision. I was doing great until, one evening; I fiad no plans for dinner, and K was past seven o'clock.

I had used my new wok before, but never for an entire meal. I cfiopped up some celery, onions, green and red peppers, mushrooms, juliened some carrots and dk:ed u0 a chicken breast.

I threw it in tfie wok with some oil and garlk:, added soy sauce and sesame oil, and viola! A delwious meal just for me, by me. After a good year of real cooking, / was the one having tx>th my grandparents over when my parents vwnl out of town!

So far, I've won one award — a *superk>r' ranking and a first prize in the bread division at the French Convention last year. I know one thing: whatever professk>n I pursue, I wUI always be at>le to come home and make a good tasting meal!

'Of living strong men, he was the strongest-fearless, gallant and great of heart." This descritws the ancient hero Beowulf, who fought monsters to help people from a different land.

Today's monsters are hate groups who try to segregate the workf by race and religion. This kills Amerk^n culture t)ecause the purpose is to make certain groups appear undesirable. Bob Wolfson, director of the AntiDefamatkxi League of Omaha, tries to put a stop to these groups. Like Beowulf, he siays monsters, leads by example and sacrifk^s his own comfort lor the needs of others.

Woifson's method ol slaying monsters is to keep an eye on extremist groups like the KKK, Neo-Nazis, Posse Comitatus and militias. He says 'the best light is to expose (hem to the light ol day." f-le works to isolate these hate mongers and limit their actions so they don't tiecome popular.

Leading by example, Beowulf and Wolfson fiear of trouble and try to stop it. Bob says the best defense against bigotry is educatk>n. He handles situations dealing with religion in schools and discrimination In the workplace.

He also keeps the Jewish community informed atraut anti-semitism.

Sacriftoing one's own comfort for the needs of others is characteristic of Beowulf and Mr. Wolfson. Bob sometimes receives! threats from hate I groups capable of | anything ... txxnb-l ing a synagogue! or burning a[ cross. Bob has! also sacrificed! professional! opportunities tol work in this! important area.!

"It's like when you I give charity," he' nw«« said, -it feels **""" good." The hard work of Beowulf and Bob Wolfson push for a more peaceful workl.

Today's monsters are everywhere ... txx>ks, leleviskxi, even real life. A reallife one is the scariest...an unknown person in the back of the room or maybe a good friend. The monster impulse can sprout from a surge of hate, triggered tiy lies and stereotypes.

We need people to think atmut why they hate. Education about different races and religkxis will solve the problem of uprisings against them. Heroes like Bob Wolfson should join together and conquer the pack of monsters to improve our society.

Karwi Kator, hft, mnd Maggla, right, congratulate "gueaa who?"

Kids had t>een talking at>out it for weeks. Everyone seemed to have an idea or opinion, but nobody really knew for sure. Whether you were stressing through an Honors Trig class or simply enjoying lunch in the courtyard, the topic of conversation was practically unavoidable.

Everyone was curious...who would inherit the title of Central High School's 1995-96 Homecoming King and Queen?

September 30. The date of Central's Homecoming was quk:kly approaching, and the last day to vote for the candidates ol your choice had arrived. I honestly wasn't planning on voting a final time, but with one look at the t>alk>t, I just couldn't help it.

It was such a great feeling to see her name. All of the girls who were nominated were strong possibilities, but there was no doubt in my mind as I circled the one I wanted to win. I handed in my ballot to be tallied, and crossed my fingers, hoping that someone as deserving as she wouM be the girl wearing the crown.

Her excitement was pure and genuine. Winning dkl not even seem to

be an Issue with her-just the fact she had made it to the Royalty Court made her happy enough.

By the time the night had finally come, nothing had changed. People were still talking, and she was still smiling. I wasn't at Homecoming for five minutes t>efore she found me, handed me a camera and tokf me to take a bunch I" The Homecoming Processkjn was so kHJd, I hardly notksd it had started. I couki barely understand a word from the MC, but proceeded to push and shove my way through the hairspray, make-up and cologne until I was positkMied well enough to take a good prcture.

All of the candklates had made their way to the stage, and the king and queen were atx}ut to t>e annourx»d.

Fortunately, the only two words I could understand throughout the entire coronatkjn were the only two words i needed to hear ...

"Sarah Raful."

Congratulations again, Rafull Uagglm It a lunlor ml Cantral, a membar ol Ediar BBG and Bath El Synagogua.

In the News

A book review ByOUT«rE.PoUak University of Nebraska at Omalia

Jack and Rochelle.

A Holocaust story of love and resistance Jack and Rociielle Sutin, edited by Lawrence Sutin (St. Paul, Minn., Graywolf Press, 199S, 226 pages, 18 illustrations) Fifty years have passed since VE Day and the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps.

A special language has attached itself to the Holocaust; "The Six Million," survivors, refugees, resistors, children of survivors and now the "third generation.' This book provides a seldom told perspective of the war.

Lawrence Sutin traces his parent's experiences from their childhood in Poland through their escape from the Nazis to their partisan activities in the Nalibocka Forest.

It is a frank account of fear, hunger and deprivation where the enemy included the Nazi, Poles and Soviet troops, and sometimes fellow partisans.

Despite the cloud of the Holocaust, Jack and Rochelle maintained a courtship in an underground earthen bunker.

What is remarkable is that they frankly share their memories of their adolescent longings with their editor son and readers.

The format is unprecedented and effective. Jack and Rochelle each respond to the same question and their replies are printed side by side.

Lawrence Sutin contributes 'An Afterward on the Second Generation." Parents silently and overtly share values and experiences with their children.

His parents arrived in Minnesota in 1949, not knowing a word of English. By 1957, they started a , wholesale gift shop.

Although Larry was born in America in 1951, his childhood is filled with missing relatives and other Holocaust echoes. He acknowledges the lingering impact this may have on his own children.

This book is available at the Jewish Federation library.
