Dorothy Kripke Children's Collection to be dedicated By Claudia Sherman, Foundation public relations director Dorothy Kripke's books have been read to hundreds of thousands of children since her first books, "Rhymes to Play" and "Rhymes to Pray* were published in 1952. On Sunday, Dec. 17, Mrs. Kripke's own three children and their spouses will host the dedication of The Dorothy K. Kripke Childreji's Book Collection of the Omaha Jewish Federation Library. Saul and Margaret Gilbert Kripke, Madeline F. Kripke, and Yossi and Netta Kripke Stern have endowed the children's collection of books in the Federation Library in honor of their mother, wife of Rabbi Myer S. Kripke, Rabbi Emeritus of Beth El Synagogue. President of the Library Board Nancy Rips announced that along with the Dr. Morris and Dale Deborah Brodkey Memorial Fund, The children's book collection is now sufficiently endowed to permit the purchase of almost al) the children's books we need." After the publication of her first two books, Mrs. Kripke followed with "Let's Talk About God," which sold more than 100,000 copies. Rooted in Jewish beliefs, the book was praised and used by parents of various faiths to Mrs. Kripke's gratification. ' The New York Times book review, which rarely reviews children's books, especially Jewish children's books, wrote: "Publishers and authors of children's books ought to study this one to see what it has that their's don't." Seven more books followed ("Let's Talk About

Super Sunday is here!

The books have reached virtually every American Jewish community and Israel as well as English and French speaking areas around the world. After meeting in 1932 as students at the Jewish Theological Seminary of America in New York City, the Kripkes were married in 1937.

A naUve of Highland Falls, N.Y., Mrs. Kripke accompanied her husband to Wisconsin, Long Island, and Connecticut where they lived before coming to Omaha in 1946. Rabbi Kripke served as the leader of Beth El Synagogue until 1975 when he became Rabbi Emeritus. Mrs. Kripke served as national vice-president of the National Women's League of the United Synagogue of America. She was a speaker for the Women's League and for Hadassah from coast to coast. She taught high school English when she lived in New York City as well as Hebrew in vari( OUB religious schools including Omaha's Hebrew High School.

By Diane Axler Baum, Book Fair publicist Award-winning writer Paul Wilkes, whose numerous works explore the private and public role of spirituality and religious belief, will lecture on his new book, "Ajid They Shall Be My People: An American Rabbi and His Congregation," at the Jewish Community Center this Monday at 7:30 p.m. Paul Wilkea The lecture, including a reception for the author immediately following, is a feature of the 1995 Jewish Book Fair. Co-sponsors of the event, which is free and open to the public, are the Jewish Federation Library and the Jewish Cultural Arts Council. Jean Ann Krupinsky, vice-president of the Ubrary board, is chairman of the program. In preparing to write his latest book, Wilkes spent a full year with Rabbi Jay Rosenbaum, religious leader of a Conservative congregation in Worcester, Massachusetts. Wilkes accompanied the rabbi on his every duty—from offidating at funerals, baby namings, and Bar and Bat Mitzvah services, to holding meetings on plans for a congregational trip to Israel. The result, according to The Cleveland Plain Dealer, is 'a mirror of organized Jewish life," which the Chicago Tribune praised as *A wonderful book...Lucid, compassionate, inspiring, touching, affecting, extraordinarily well-written and well reported." Wilkes, a Catholic, ia the author of numerous nonfiction books, including "In Mysterious Ways: The Death and Life of a Parish Priest," which (Continued on page 9)

To the Editon The Omaha Jewish community views the recent comments made by State Sen. Ernie Chambers in an Omaha World-Herald article' (Nov. 26,1995) as harmful generalizations that we condemn. Sen. Chambers' statements about "stingy" Jews and "mean" whites idemonstrate disturbing biases for a legislator who has fashioned himself as a crusader against discrimination. Making generalizations about any group of people by using negative stereotypes only serves to promote misunderstanding and mistrust, and is counterproductive to building relationships within our community. Over the years, the Omaha Jewish community has counted among its most important allies African-Americans who share and express a mutual passion for equal justice for all people. Our partnership with msmy leaders and organizations in the African-American community is vital. Together we hope to continue to work to address issues of bigotry, hatred and discrimination wherever they exist. We call upon all members of the Omaha community to reject harmful and offensive stereotypes and generalizations. Bob Wolfson, Executive Director, AntiDefamation League/Community Relations Committee of the Jewish Federation of Omaha

"it's pretty well accepted that^s how Ernie is." If Mr. Chambers were a member of the United States Congress instead of the Nebraska Uhicameral, those remarks would have brought about an immediate public admonishment. Those who choose to ignore his remarks condone his behavior, and those y^ho fail to confront them commit an even greater sin. Our children today live in a complex world requiring them to make many moral judgments on a daily basis. If we do not stand up to Mr. Chambers' rantings and expose them for what they are, then we are just as bad role models for our children as he is. In my office, I would never tolerate for an instant the inflammatory and hateful speech of Mr. Chambers. Nebraskans should expect no less from their elected officials. However, Mr. Chambers apparently does not feel obligated to adhere to the same lofty standards he prescribes for others. I believe the color of a person's skin and p^st or current ii;justices that may have been imposed on his people do not provide special dispensation to engage in such behavior. While Mr. Chambers may have done much good for the civil righte movement over the years, I fear he is falling into the same trap as Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan. If Mr. Chambers continues to make remarks like these and fails to retract them, then I find it impossible to separate the messenger frt>m the message. He has lost all credibiUty with me.

By the Festival Committee

F On Dec. 17, the afternoon before Hanukkah I begins, the Federation Library will hold its first story-telling festival. Nancy Rips, president of the Jewish Federation Library explains: This is going to be an afternoon of fabulous stories and storytellers. This is not only for children, but for their parents and grandparents as well. We have never done anything like this before—a full festival of stories! ' Rabbi Ruth Ehrenstein is chairman of the committee. She reflects, 'We chose these story-tellers because they are well known for their love of Jewish education and for their love of story. They are dramatic personalities who deeply believe that involving our community in Jewish story is vital to its well-developed Jewish identity." As advanced publidty, stories will be told in the synagogue schools. Eunice Denenberg, Ozzie Nogg and Lionel Wolberger have agreed to tell stories at Temple, UTTO and The Reconstructionist Cooperative Religious School, respectively. The committee feels that even if some children can not attend the festival, this is a way more stories can get out to children throughout the community. Stories will be told every half hour at the Jewish Community Center as follows: Ages 3-5, toddler room: 3-3:30 p.m., Susie Drazen; 3:30-4 p.m., Mark Levy; 4-4:30 p.m., Scott Uttky. Aces 6-8, children's library: 3-3:30 p.m.. Rabbi Ehrenstein: 3:30-4 p.m., Joanie Jacobson; 4-4:30 p.m., Nancy Rips. FThe festival also has a program for adults.

Kinnus held in Omaha By Michael Levine, programminf^outh director Three-huQdred-sixty-five Jewish teenagers from around the Midwest gathered at the Red Lion Hot^l Thanksgiving weekend for, the Omaha USY Regional Kinnus. After fi year of planning, the event started off with Omaha USY'ers making aiire every last- i minute detail was finished and the hotel was rea^y for action! Thursday morning brought hundreds of teens into the lobby of the hotel. Thursday night saw all of the 16 chapters competing in Olympic-style games at the Jewish Community Center. As the day progressed, the excitement was building towards the coming of Shabbat and the Saturday night program. Friday, the typical Kinnus rest and relax day before Shabbat, allowed the USYers to visit the Henry Doorley Zoo and to eiyoy the Nebraska vs. Oklahoma game before preparing for the Sabbath. Before we knew it, Shabbat came and went with services, study groups and lots of free time. Then it was time for Havdallah. All 410 USVers, staff and an Omaha police escort paraded from the Red Lion Hotel to Central Park Mall for the culmination of Shabbat and the final chanting of the EMTZA regional song. Even the police commented on the positive energy of the group. When the USY'ers returned to the hotel, it was time for Final Banquet, "WOODYSTOCK." Everyone was dressed in their tye-dye outfits, bandannas and sandals for the '60s-style event. The banquet featured a taste of Middle-eastern cuisine to help with another theme of dinner-Israel Awareness. As dinner finished, everyone knew that time was ticking away on this great event. The evening program brought Dr. Kirby McGill in to hypnotize some of the USY'ers. For the most part, all eight teens on stage had no idea what was

Henry Monsky Lodge B'nai B'rith is sponsoring a Chanukah Torch Run Sunday, Dec. 17, at 9:30 a.m. According to Gary Epstein, liodge president, and iDavid Herzog, chairman, the Run is a unique event i^lebrating the Chanukah festival of freedom.

Refreshments will be sertfed at the JCC at the conclusion of the run. Because df the uniqueness of the event, the Lodge is able to use it'to highlight the importance of reli gious freedom as symbolized by the holiday of Chanukah. Moreover, it also allows the Lodge to bring to the attention of others situations in which freedom has been abused. i. n • .!.• • . • L •. . r During this years run, mans inhumanity to man ... , . . -. , •', Wi be stressed.

lew By B«rt Lewi* Is it safe to aBsume you're a^l ready for Chanuka (or Hannukah or Hanukah)? No matter how you spell it, if you aren't finished ipreparing, Fm here to tell you to hurry up. Or do you do a lot in order to welcome this holiday? I know people who decorate the house with all manner of blue and white symbolic reminders of the Feast of Lights, with special emphasis on what I've always called the menorah. I say that because I must be honest and admit it's only in recent years I've been told the proper term is HannuKIah (but I don't really know how to spell it). All of that is neither here nor there; the point is, this is a nice holiday with many traditions which center in the home and family. The lighting of the candles, the telling of the story of the Maccabean victory and the rededication of the Temple; the gifts the children exclaim over are all in the category of "family stuff." What could be better than that? I well remember Chanuka in our house when I was a kid. It certainly wasn't the big deal gift occasion it has become in recent decades, but it was a delightful time. I remember the orange candles and the way my dear Dad would first light the shamos and the others from that one. I can still hear his voice as he said the blessings. I remember the potato latkes too. Thank God it was still legal to fry things like that-and boy, were they good! Crisp on the outside, tender inside...ummmm. I think I remember them served with a wonderful pot roast, but I also remember swiping one to eat while walking around whining Vhen's dinner ready?" It's different today of course. From the beautiful colors of the candles (and the increased size of the fancier ones) absence of excitement. That's due to the sad fact that we don't have any little ones around anymore. We light the candles and say the appropriate blessings and eiyoy the calls from the grandkids who liked the presents we sent, but it's not the same. I don't know many children "today who get a big 'charge out of Chanukah gelt, unless its made of chocolate and wrapped in golden paper. I seem to recall that was a big deal when I first discovered it. Today, a person can buy those little net bags of goodies anyplace froVn the synogogue to the (Sodiva store! ' Other modem adaptations I've noticed are in the Menorahs (or Hannukias). Some are so contempoirary in design they almost defy recognition. Some are very beautiful works of art in crystal or brass or other materials. I Nothing will replace a memory of an unassuming little thin metal menorah which preceded the handtome traditional one my Dad used for years and El^-ars. It was a pathetic little thing compared to y of the several beauties we now own, but if I ause my eyes, I can still see that little tin menorah. With those orange candles melting all over it, it Was Chanukah.

Annual Chanukah show at Theatre at the 'J'

For the last few weeks, children enrolled in creative drama and children in the dance department have been preparing for the annual Chanukah show in the Theatre at the 'J', according to an announcement Rachel Hauben, Theatre manager, has been working with children enrolled in KidzInn to create an original script based upon the children's own perceptions of Chanukah and its meaning. Ms. Hauben is directing 26 children ranging in age fi^m five to 11 in the play, the announcement stated. The performance will also include holiday offerings from four of the dance classes. Leslie Schnabel Wallace, dance director, will present three ballet pieces and one jazz dance to be performed by students enrolled in the dance program. According to Ms. Hauben, This project is important because the children themselves have helped to create it. The text was developed from their own thoughts and ideas. 'Ms. Wallace and Ms . Hauben will work together to incorporate dance and theatre into one holiday event. Beth Cohen, youth director, •will also assist in the project. Performances will be Saturday, Dec. 16 at 7 p.m., and Sunday, Dec. 17 at 2 p.m. A dessert reception will follow each performance. Tickets are $5 for adults, and $3 for children.

Youth Ambassador exchange program . Two Omaha Public Schools students have been selected to participate in this year's United States/Israel High School Youth Ambassador Exchange Program, according to an announcement. Andrea Shanklin of Benson High and John Ryan of North High have been selected to represent the district in a three-week travel opportunity to Israel from Nov. 21 to Dec. 15. While in Israel, students will spend three weeks touring, living with Israeli families, taking part in a variety of cultural activities, attending classes and meeting with officials in the American and Israeli governments. The exchange stresses the common denominators of the two nations and focuses on the common philosophies of human rights, democracy and social betterment. This opportunity for young people is made possible through private funding from the Omaha community. Steve Pitlor, who originally coordinated Omaha Public Schools with the America /Israel Friendship League, is hopeful that Omaha will become a regulaar participant in the exchange program.

OTYG happenings

Beyt Shalom plans Chanukah open house

1^^ By Brian Siff, president The Om^ha Temple Youth Group began thiB year • with a variety of events. Thirty-two OTYG'ers attacked the paintball fields at NebraSKI at the beginning of the year. For almost six hours, we became one with the environ. ment and bonded as we teamed up for our own game of "war. ' At the end of the day, an Omaha ; Police Officer shared her view on gun control and -the dangers of weapons. After an exciting day of shooting each other, this really hit home. The days following were spent sharing our war stories with everyone we knew. This membership drive pulled in the first 30 of our 45 members we have today. We also began the year with a night at Fenwicks Diner and viewed To Wong Foo" at Westroads. Since then, we have conducted two youth high holy day services and had many other programs, like going to see the new "Ace Ventura'' movie and having lunch pt the Westroads food court, compliments of OTYG. The organization has a new tradition this year: OTYG night, held one Wednesday a month before religious school. For a half hour, all OTYG'ers are invited to come and have a free dinner while the board informs everyone on upcoming events. At the ;meeting, everyone is given a chance to voice their opinion so we can make sure everyone has a say in our youth group. OTYG attended a service at Temple Israel in which five other congregations joined our temple and celebrated Thanksgiving. Before the service, OTYG invited all of the youth groups to have a snack and learn about each other. We also led a iservice once a month on Friday at a.home for tlie elderly. OTYG is volunteering at Super Sunday by collecting jackets at the JCC. Future plans include the OTYG Ski Trip (four days on the slopes of Colorado). A flier on the event Will be mailed soon. Another copy of the OTYG newsletter will also Boon be mailed. It will be filled with up-to-date information and all Temple Israel high school students will receive one. NFTYs Winter Conclave is rapidly approaching. The event will be in Kansas City. Cost is $79 and includes a chartered bus trip, housing for three nights, and four days of a variety of events. For ietails, call Brian Siffat 493-4112, or Keith Singer It 551-5957. It's not too late to join OTYG—cost is $20, which pan be brought to Temple Israel and left in an kivelope marked c/o Keith Singer.

Members and guests of Beyt Shalom gather to celebrate Simchat Torah. From left: Ellen Fennick, Philine Wangemann, Dan 'Marcus, Marti Nerenstone, Rabbi Ruth Ehrenstein, Jean Liddy, and Marina Konfisakhar. On the first night of Chanukah, Sunday, Dec. 17, Beyt Shalom, the new Reconstructionist Synagogue in Omaha, will host a party and open house, which is open to the community. The event starts at 4:30 p.m. at the synagogue's regular location, 3012 S. 119th St., Omaha (the Second Unitarian Church). The goal, according to Wendy Harris, one of the organizers, "is to share with others Beyt Shalom's warm sense of community at a special holiday celebration and to give people an opportunity to learn more about us." The schedule will include: 4:30 p.m.-songs; 5 p.m.~candlelighting; 5:30 p.m.-dinner, followed by dreidles, games, story-telling with Rabbi Ehrenstein, and more songs. A dairy-vegetarian pot-luck dinner with latkes will be provided by the members. The party will end early enough-for everyone to continue celebrating Chanukah at home. For information, call Mike Salmi at 291-3469; Wendy Harris at 391-6819; or Rabbi Ehrenstein.

TV highlights Hanukkah celebration Nebr. ETV network has announced it will feature three segments in celebration of Hanukkah Monday night, Dec. 18. The schedule is: 7 p.m. -- "Bubbe Meises, Bubbe Stories."

U.S. Jewish groups battle conversion law

risiont Mitzvah committee chairmen )orothy Parilman, left, and Elaine Teldman collected over 100 ^fta from ^sions memben for the Jewish Family ervice "Project Dreidel".

By David Landau JERUSALEM (JTA) - Key American Jewish organizations have pledged their active support for a growing campaign by non-Orthodox and secular groups here against new legislation that would effectively bar official state recognition of Conservative and Reform conversions performed in Israel. Some are threatening that the issue could turn into a repeat of the vitriolic "TVho is a Jew" controversy that plagued Israeli-Diaspora relaUons half a decade ago. The conversion iuue, always politically sensitive in Israel, surfaced in iU current form after a recent decision by the High Court of Justice that effecUvely opened the way to sUto recognition of Conservative and Reform conversions performed in Israel.

Oldtimers Review By Art Grossman With "GLOW" BIG RED assured of appearing in the Fiesta Bowl, the recent Olejtimers Earlybird discussion tockled some ponderous problems needing our weighty wisdom accumulated over the years. Forstorters, Bosnia. Serious concern was expressed regarding President Clinton wanting to deploy 20,000 American soldiers to serve as impartial peacekeepers. American GIs could become tempting targets for Serbs, Croats and Muslims in order to hasten a U.S. withdrawal so they could get back,to the business of killing each other. Our consensus: What is the critical interest in Bosnia that requires America to safeguard it? On to problems in Israel. Since the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin, Israeli police have interrogated two rabbis on suspicion they had issued religious rulings condemning the prime minister to death. The questioning followed reports that the confessed killer, Yigal Amir, might have acted after receiving a rabbinic sanction. Following lunch, Barbara Chandler, Federation communications director, presented videos regarding where and for what purposes UJA/Federation funds are utilized. Next meeting will be Tuesday. Mary Fellman will guide a tour of the Gordman Education Center. Earlybirds n^eet at 11 a.m., and lunch is served at noon.

JK nunwins nothing

The dreidel game is a Hanukkah tradition. To atari the gome each player is given 10 coins, nuts, or other objects. Players put three of them into the middle of a circle. This is called the "pot." Each player takes a turn spinning the dreidel. A dreidel is a four-sided top. Each side is marked with a Hebrew letter. The letter that lands up when the dreidel stops spinning tells the player what to do. (See diogmm.) The letters have also been interpreted to mean "A great miracle happened there" (Nes Godol Haya Sham). In Israel, the printing on the "aevivon" (dreidel) reads Nes Gadol Haya Po ("A great miracle happened here!"). Each time a whole pot is taken, the game starts over. The winner is the one with the most or the only one who Is not wiped out! aasts^^BiBxsi^sa^BSLVsmi&j- â&#x20AC;˘
