Newman Grants Committee interested in new programs for children and youth

By Claudia Sherman Foundation public relatidns director 'Over the past several years, there has been a growing interest expressed by local Jewish organizations in obtaining grants from the Esther K. Newman/Carolyn Kully Newman Grants 'Committee.

'Grants are made specifically for new and innovative programs designed to enhance the Jewish identity of our youth," clarified Myra Oberman, chairman of the Grants Committee.

The committee, Which meets bi-annually, will meet Tuesday, April 16, to review proposals requesting funds from both the Esther K. Newman and the Carolyn Kully Newman Funds.

Forms have been mailed to potential applicants.

The deadline for submitting proposals to the .Grants Committee is Friday, March 29.

According to Mrs. Oberman, the Newman Grants Committee is interested in contributing to projects that provide programming for children, teenagers, and young adults under the age of 23 who are not attending a college or university.

Either K. Newman Fund allocations are made to programs designed to strengthen Jewish identity and values through educational, religious, cultural, •ocial, or recreational activitiea.

Grants from the Carolyn Kully Newman Fund are intended to help support programR for families with children who are of kindergarten age or jFounger.

Both Newman memorial funds are administered

by The Foundation of the Jewish Federation of Omaha.

'Due to competing needs,' added Mrs. Oberman, "it is important that grant requests be clear as to the viability of their proposed programs so that del lars are not allocated for programs that do not occur or are canceled."

Organizations that submit requests are also encouraged to maximize in-kind contributions.

Members of the Grants Committee include rep resentatives from the Jewish Federation Board, tlio Budget and Allocations Committee, the Bureau of Jewish Education, the Jewish Community Center, Beth Israel and Beth El Synagogues, Temple Israel, Friedel Jewish Academy, B'nai B'rith Youth Organization, and The Federation Foundation.

I Deaths MIRIAM GREENBERGER ABRAMS Word has been received of the death of Miriam Greenberger Abrams of Los Angeles. She died Feb. 26 at the age of 86. Services were held at|Mount Sinai Memorial Park in Los Angeles.

She was preceded in death by her husbahd, Barney Abrams, formerly of Omaha.

Survivors include a sister, Louise Kuily of Grand Island; a daughter, Rita; a son, Fred; one grandson; and two great-grandchildren, all of Valencia, CA.

Life is not a Dress Rehearsal .

A friend once said in passing, "Life is not a dress reiiearsal." You may have heard that phrase. It strikes me as wonderful, and very Jewish. The phrase reminds us that what happens in our lives can not be rewritten or edited. Nothing can be left on the cutting floor.

Looking at People...

A statement from Sandy Nogg

An interview - By Wichelle Wirtti. (ree-lance writer Rabbi Sidney H. Broolu While Rabbi Sidney H. Brooks'served as Temple Israel's senior rabbi, the synagogue was built, expanded upon, demolished by a tornado and reconstructed.

But those events made up only a portion of his colorful half-century in the rabbinate. Rnbbi Brooks, 76, has much to remember — parti|Culnrly during the 44 years he has spent in Omaha.

'I've had great moments," he said.

Rabbi Brooks uses his wit and sense of humor to skirt questions about his accomplishments.

His achievements and involvement with communities and organizations, however, span several pages.

He has been active in many liberal issues, including working with .Planned Parenthood and the Religions Coalition for Abortion Rights. And he has been a member of a variety of organizatios, including the Central Conference of American Rabbis, American Civil Liberties Union and Anti-Defamation League executive board.'

He applied two of his favorite interests — teaching and studying — toward helping residents outside the Jewish community. For the College of Saint Mary, he served as visiting professor, teaching "Theology of the Bible" from 1972 to 1986. He taught a popular comparative religion course at University of Nebraska at Omaha in the 1950s.

In fact, the University of Nebraska continues to honor Rabbi Brooks' work by offering a lectureship series in his name. "I love to study and teach," Rabbi Brooks said. "It keeps me off the streets," he joked.

Rabbi Brooks is a scholar of other religions besides Judaism, including Catholicism and Protestantism. He prides himself as the only r;ibbi to have yi.sited snnve Christian institutions, Allying he has liclpcd iiuTease awareness about Judaism "The benefits are they (non-.Jewsi can ask questions of a rabbi and get a proper answer," he said. "They're exposed to Judaism as they never have been before."

This June will mark 50 years since Rabbi Brooks was ordained a rabbi at Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati, Ohio. And throughout the years. Rabbi Brooks has refused to let conservative traditions and ideas restrict his views.

"1 would call myself an incorrigible liberal, and 1 use it as a term of honor," Rabbi Brooks said.

'That's the reformed way. Even back then, reformed was more liberal," he added.

Although Rabbi Brooks stresses that he does not regret retiring from Temple Israel at age 65 in 1985, he admits he does miss the freedom of expression he exercised at the pulpit.

"I miss the opportunity of going to my pulpit and expressing my ideas about contemporary issues,' he said. 'I like to hear comments on

Foundation Featurette

Omaha Derekh Torah Class guides the way liv (

In its function of serving the Jewish Federation and its agencies, The Foundation of the Jewish Federation subvents various programs and activities through the income generated by about 130 endowment funds. The Jewish Cultural Arts Council (JCAC) is one of the recipients of endowment fund ii^come. ' About three years ago, the JCAC received news Ithat the Omaha Jewish Community Center was ; selected as one of 10 pilot sites in America to offer an Introduction to Judaism course for adults.

The 20-week class 'Derekh Torah: The Way of Torah,' is for those who wish to explore Judaism and define its place in their lives. It is for Jews who seek a deeper connection to their heritage and for non-Jews who are considering conversion to Judaism or who wish to understand it more fully while remaining within their own faiths.

Rabbi Ruth Ehrenstein, who teaches the class, 'Studies and'discusses Jewish history, theology, and the meaning and practice of Jewish living with the class participants. Topics include ethics, the 'Sabbath and other holidays, prayer, dietary laws, life cycle events, the Jewish people, Israel, and other subjects.

Rabbi Ehrenstein sees herself as "a Torah tour guide" in a program which explores Judaism through Reform, Conservative, Orthodox, and Reconstructionist points of view. She added that the class of approximately 15 to 20 people "become a community. They're all asking questions together. There's a sense that they're hanging on.each other's words as well as mine."

Typical questions explore how Judaism is different from the predominant culture. These students are curious about what they might see during a Shabbat service or during a funeral, explained.

Rabbi Ehrenstein. They want to know what is •going on and why.

The class is supplemented with two Sabbath or

I.UHII.

holiday meals, guest speakers, and synagogue visits.

Participants receive four^ books: "Jewish Literacy" by J. Telushkin; "Tenach," JPS translation; "Jewish Holidays" by M.'Strassfeld; and "To Life!" by Harold Kushner.

The course is partially funded by the Philip M. and Ethel Klutznick Program for Studies in Jewish Civilization, one of the endowment funds administered by The Foundation of the Jewish Federation. , Gary and Mary Doty, a married couple with two young children, took the class because they are both planning to convert to Judaism. They agreed with Rabbi Ehrenstein's assessment that they started the class with a group of strangers "who became a small community that ho|>es to continue to meet once a month after the class is completed."

Mrs. Doty said, "Twenty weeks seemed like a big commitment, but I can't believe it's over already."

She revealed that she had been searching for a religious faith since she was 16 years old. "I didn't question the existence of God," she explained. But she envied people who believed in a rehgion. Now she and her husband are raising their children who are ten months old and two-and-one-half years old as Jews.

Rabbi Ehrenstein noted that the class members 'are coming from so many different backgrounds."

Some are single, some are married. They are of all ages and include both men and women. "They end up really caring about one another," Rabbi Ehrenstein affirmed.

Those members of the class who plan to convert to Judaism go on with their respective rabbis for further study. The Derekh Torah class is not a conversion class. There is no pressure to convert as the study continues through the weeks.

Robin Richbell explained that she took the class because "I didn't get much Jewish education when growing up in Miami. I went to Jewish summer

camp and to High Holiday services. I wanted my children to have a better Jewish education than I did." Ms. Richbell said she wanted 'to stop the watering down of our Jewish identity. I found my Jewish soul in the Derekh Torah class. I realized that my own thoughts were Jewish thoughts even though I didn't know it." Ms. Richbell has three children between the ages of six and 12. She took th^ class Tor my children. That's the bottom line."

For further information on the next Derekh Torah course, call Gloriann Levy, Jewish Cultural Arts Council director, at 334-6403.

For more information on endowment funds — to either set them up to subsidize worthy programs and services or to discuss planned giving in general — call Sheldon A. Bernstein, endowment director, at 334-6440.

CJC-Amcha protest mall at Auschwitz The Coalition for Jewish Concerns-Amcha has joined mounting protests against the construction of a 25,000 square meter shopping mall just 30 meters from the Auschwitz death camp in Poland.

CJC-Amcha leaders have requested a meeting with Polish Consul general in New York later this week to discuss the matter further and convey concern to Polish President Alexander Kwasnieski. "If need be, we'll go and sit in front of the bulldozers to prevent such a desecration of Auschwitz," noted CJC-Amcha national director, Judy Balint.

'We will lead massive protests against such desecration of the memory of those who perished at Auschwitz," said Rabbi Avi Weiss, CJC-Amcha national president who led protests against the Carmelite convent at Auschwitz and sat in at the church at Birkenau-Auschwitz II, most recently last January during ceremonies marking the 50th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.

Lincoln Center Lincoln displays, Holocaust memorial

Vladimir Feltsmah to perform with Lincoln Symphony

Accepting a donation from a group of Nebraska survivors of the Holocaust, the County-City Building in Lincoln has placed on permanent display a Holocaust memorial.

The memorial, designed by Philadelphia artist Frank Bender, is a result of more than five years of work.

The Lincoln Public Building Commission, in .accepting the memorial, specified that it would be displayed in the current building until the new administrative complex is built in about two years.

When the new County-City Building is completed, the memorial will be moved to that site.

The following statement, entitled "Thoughts On The Holocaust Memorial And Why It Is So Important To Have One On Pemi.inent Display In Public Buildings - Especially Those That House Legislative Bodies and Educational Institutions," was included with the memorial and is available at the visitor's desk for people who view the memorial: "The Society of Sur\'ivors of the Holocaust (a relatively informnl group of sur\'ivors) is much more concerned with 50 years from today than today. It is obvious that people are still alive who remember that what is known ns the 'Holocaust' was an organized and legalized system of not only eliminating 'inferior people,' but also a system to quash those who might disagree with a particular government.

It was such an acceptable part of European society t'hat millions were involved in the various bureaucratic, criminal justice and logistical function.'; needed to silence, imprison and murder millions of their fellow citizens. People of all religions, ethnic backgrounds and beliefs, even those considered "mentally defective,' were affected and condemned by law. It was also a time when great, democratic nations like the United States were able to suspend human rights with actions such as arresting and interning Japanese citizens (a move upheld by the Supreme Court). Much of what happened during tlie period of the Holocaust is the grist for educational and social organs to study.

Vladimir Feltsman, internationally recognized as one of the most important pianists of his generation, will perforfti with the Lincoln Symphony Orchestra under the baton of music directdr Yongyan Hu, at the Lied Center for Performing fbU on April 2.

A compelling artistic personality hailed for the dramatic and individuality of his interpretations, he brings his prodigious technique, command of sonority, and evocative musical imagination as he performs the Brahms Piano Concerto No.l in D minor with the orchestra. , Since his dramatic arrival in the United States from Russia in the summer of 1987 and his triumphant Carnegie Hall and Kennedy Center debut recitals, Mr. Feltsman has become one of the most sought-afler pianists on the international scene. He has performed with virtually all major American orchestras, including the symphonies of Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, New York, and Philadelphia.

Born in Moscow in 1952, Mr. Feltsman made his public debut at the age of 12 as soloist with the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra.

His first-prize victory in the 1967 Concertina International Competition in Prague led to his enrollment in the Moscow Conservatory.

Four years later, he won the Marguerite Long Competition in Paris, resulting in appearances with all major Soviet orchestras, tours of several Kuropeiin countries and recordings.

However, in 1979, Mr. Feltsman announced his intention to leave the U.S.S.R., and during the following eight years, his musical activities were severely curtailed. He was finally granted permission to leave and cjmie to the United States where his career has again flourished.

Also on the evening's program is the Brahms Symphony No.4 in E minor. While the Fourth Symphony achieved almost immediate >great success throughout most of Europe and America, it took longest to become popular in Brahms' adopted home of Vienna.

It did eventually take hold in the hearts of the Viennese public, however, and at the last concert Brahms attended on March 7, 1897, the audience applauded thunderously after each movement, refusing at the end to slop clapping and cheering until the composer stood up in his box and acknowledged the crowd.

The curtain for this all-Brahms concert will rise at 7:30 p.m. on April 2.

Call the Lied Center Box Office for tickets and infuimation.

'The current effort at operating a War Crimes Tribunal brings up issues of official government policy and unofficial acceptance of abhorrent behavior by public servants, international law, rules of evidence, right to a fair and impartial trial, and related issues that will be discussed for years.

Those discussions, in schools and political arenas, must be held in the context of the Holocaust in I order for decision makers to understand the imporl tance of such issues 'In every generation, including the current one, nations and/or people in power or wanting power abuse, incarcerate and intimidate others. More often than not, people who could prevent or reduce such behavior remain silent or do not question such actions or feel they can do little or nothing to stop it. Thus, it is important that, during non-crises times, they be led to look at times when evil things did happen and to reflect on what could have been done by individuals and democratic institutions.

'This is not a memorial for one group or one political thought or even one period of time in history. Rather, it is a symbol meant to inspire thought and curiosity which will lend those who see it to question actions taken against any people that were done with the blessing of the then existing government ad with the tacit support of the citizenry."

According to Joe Boin, president of the Society of Survivors of the Holocaust group another of the memorials has been placed at Tifereth Israel Synagogue and will be dedicated on March 29.

Others will be offered for placement in public buildings and educational facilities around the state.

Though the concentration is for memorialu or tome other form of remembrance to be placed in Nebraska locations, a request from an international Holocaust-education foundation based in California is under conaideration, Mr. Boin emphasized that the group has always hoped that the placement of this or other types of memorialB will help move future generations to wwk information on what happened and how can it be prevented from happening in the future.

Hate graffiti left at B'nai Jeshurun According to an article in the Lincoln Journal Star by Bob Reeves, Swastikas and Nazi hate comments were left by an intruder on March 7 at Congregation B'nai Jeshurun.

Cantor Michael Weisser was working in his study when someone evidently entered the building through the unlocked rear entrance and drew a swastika and hate messages on a white tablecloth in the basement.

A religious book and pamphlelH wore .iL-io defaced with swastikas.

Additionally, about $10 in change w.is taken froO' a canister containing money collected by the temple children for emergency CrimG medical relief Q. The article quoted Cantor ai0pp6rS Weisser as saying, "People who

Lincoln's mayor visiting isra^l The Jewish Federation of Lincoln is underwriting some of the expenses for Mayor Mike Johanns tp join a delegation of mayors representing the U.S. Conference of Mayors for the Sixteenth International Jerusalem Conference of Mayors frdim March 18 through March 23.

The annual conference brings together officials of the U.p., Israel, and other countries to share ideai and experiences on urban problems.

Steven Yates to lecture on El Lissltzky at UNL The University of Nebraska-Lincoln Department of Art & Art History and the Harris Center for Judaic Studies will sponsor a lecture by Steven Yates entitled "Artistic Innovation as Expression: El Lissitzky and the Jewish Renaissance in the Russian Avant-Garde."

The event will take place on Tuesday, March 2().

7:30 p.m. in Richards Hall 225 on the UNL Campus.

Jewish by heritage, internationalist by innovation. El Lissitzky championed revolutionary ideas during the pioneering years of modernism.

As a photographer, painter, architect, curator, modern theorist, as well as leading experimental designer of books, typography, and new visual forms of exhibition, Lissitzky established various new directions for artists throughout society.

As a leading figure of the Russian Avant-Garde in Europe, his diverse contributions transcended ideology.

From painting of Jewish folklore by Marc Chagall, to the abstract principles of Suprematism

by Kasimir Malevich and Russian Constructivism, Lissitzky moved from the zenith period of Russian Jewish artistic inquiry into an artistic realm where innovative forms of art were universal.

Steven Yates, a Lincoln native and UNL graduate, has studied Russian artistic modernism, especially in the field of photography.

He has been the recipient of two Fulbright fellowships to conduct research on art and photography in Russia.

The lecture on El Lissitzky will be presented in conjunction with an exhibition of Mr. Yates' own photographs in the Richards Hall gallery.

By Tiffany Eisenman The Omaha Senior Chapter of NCSY, known as Kadimah, embarked on a trip to St. Louis, Mo., the weekend of Feb. 23-25. Members joined approximately 100 other Jewish teens from around the Midwest, including Memphis, St. Louis, Kansas City, Minneapolis and Chicago for one of three yearly Shabbaton weekends. The event is an opportunity for teens to meet and have fun, pray and learn, all in a Jewish atrt^osphere.

The weekend included learning sessions to expand on Jewish thoughts and learning, Davening (or praying), a ton of eating and, of course, good old-fashioned fun.

A group called "Comedy Sportz" traveled to St. Louis from Kansas City to perform for the Saturday night activity.

Sunday was spent going out for lunch and the St. Louis Science Museum, or skiing at Hidden Valley Ski Resort.

Roots and Branches An American buy* a 'aecond homa' In Ukraine A Oranddaughtar acquired a paaaport from her grandmothar'a birthplace

f"or 70 years, as Jews were held captive by the USSR, archival documents were prisoners of the Soviet archival system. With the political changes of the last few years, access to archival material has increased dramatically. The range and depth of material relevant to tracing family history continues to surprise and delight those who discover these documents.

Thousands of American Jews are interested in what documents survived, what remains in their ancestral town. It is these clients who send me back to 'the old country" on a regular basis and why it was even'tually necessary for me to buy an apartment and establish an office in that part of the world.

Seventy-five percent of American Jews can trace at least one ancestor to the former USSR and I am one of them'. A few years ago, it was impossible to visit small villages in the former Soviet Union, and only a handful of large cities were on an approved list to visit. My ancestral towns were not "open" cities. However, walls do come down, attempted coups do fail and dreams do come true.

In the former USSR, many people aspire to own a "little place in the countryside" known as a dacha.

A few years ago, I stayed in a dacha just a few miles outside of Mogilev Ppdolskiy, a city of almost 150,000, including a few thousand remaining Jews.

The dacha consisted of a two-story house which

included indoor pluihbiihg and hot water (after Waiting one hour for,it to heat up). I was there as a guest of a "friend of p friend" and gave serious thought to trying to buy it, but was adamantly discouraged by local friends who pointed out the lack . of security, extensive restoration/repairs, which would, be costly and time-consuming, and the expense of physical upkeep and maintenance.

Common sense prevailed and I bought an apartment in the center of Mogilev Podolskiy, within walking distance to the bazaar and the neighboring Republic of Moldova. My "second home" is in a border town with the Dnieper River dividing Moldova and Ukraine.

Private ownership of apartments is a new "privilege" in this part of the world. Those wishing to sell do not place ads in newspapers, radio or television; the concept of real estate offices does not exist.

Therefore, "word of mouth" is how one learns about available apartments.

The apartment I eventually bought is located on Lenin Street (wouldn't you know!) and was owned by a Jewish couple waiting to immigrate to Brooklyn. They were delighted to find an American buyer who could make payment to their relatives in America in U.S. dollars — the currency of choice in Ukraine.

Perhaps because the transfer of private property was still a new phenomenon, or perhaps because a foreigner had never felt the desire to buy property in Mogilev Podolskiy, no one with whom I had contact had any idea that we had completely ignored

the first step required for a foreigner to acquire property in Ukraine (which consisted of makin'g an application for and obtaining a domestic passport).

When it was time to change the utilities to my name, this problem came to light. Without a domestic passport, I could not legally live in Ukraine.

Then began' the lengthy procedure to eventually acquire this precious document. Now I' understood the origin of the term "red tape."

Although I am sure the person who interviewed me was a member of the (supposedly defunct) KGB, the actual permission proved less difficult than the complexity of issuing the passport.

Furnishing this "second home" has taken ingenuity, patience and muscles in transporting most of the items from the United States. The day my fax machine in Ukraine received a fax, marked the beginning of regular contact with the U.S. When my grandmother, Miriam Odnopozov, left the small town of Priluki and traveled to America in 1895, it was for the same reasons as hundreds of thousands of other immigrants who wanted to escape pogroms and terrible living conditions. Two generations and one hundred years later, her namesake has returned to Ukraine and found a "second home" her grandmother could never have envisioned.

Miriam V/einer is an author and lecturer in the field of Jewith genealogy and Holocaust reiearch. Her address is: t36 Sandpiper Key, Secaucus, NJ 07094.

It's really silly, when you think about this whole business. Why do we have to wait until a certain age or a time in life when we put things in proper perspective?

Why do most of us have to finally achieve this intelligence after we've celebrated a lot of birthdays? Is it vanity? Is it fear of criticism? I've no idea, but I am enjoying some of the fringe benefits.

I will admit that only very recently have I been able to put a book away without finishing it.

I mean, a book I read and read but cannot "get into." It has finally dawned on me, it's ok. 1 won't get ostracized from society if somebody finds out. I won't lose my citizenship.

My final words on the subject? It's a relief. This, plus getting my social security check on the first of the month, makes me glad to be my age!

The Oldtimers meeting of March 3 was one of deep sombern'ess. What should have been, a festive recounting of Purim, a victory over anti-Semitism, instead opened a discourse on the Hamas bombings which rocked Israel, snuffing out the lives of 57 people and wounding more than 200. Several were children, some in Purim costumes. ' Purim, of course, is when we read the Book of Esther, which relates the tale of Haman, the evil chief minister of Persian King Ahasuerus. Haman was hanged from his own gallows when his treacherous plot was revealed to Queen Esther.

Replace the letter "n" in Haman, with an "s" and you come up with Hamas, the militant Islamic group who claimed responsibility for the bombings.

Our adversaries span the years.

Even though a gulf of bitterness divides average Palestinians from Israelis, recent popular polls have indicated that clear m^orities of Palestinians oppose more attacks and say they are strangling the peace process.

At the general meeting lunch, .Sol Mann led the Motzi and Bemie Weiss chanted the benschen. We observed a moment of silent devotion in memory of Paul Krasne.

Rabbi Areyh Azriel addressed the group. He examined problems confronting.young people today, in particular the complications and perplexities of inter-fai til marriages.

Next meeting is March 19. Early Bird discussion, 11 a.m.; lunch served at noon. Charles Hagel, candidate for the U.S. Senate, will speak.

Beyt Shalom celebrates Purim

By Martin Roaenberg

Marti Nerenstone and Rabbi Ehrenstein lead memberR of Beyt Shalom in a Purim songfest.

The families of Beyt Shalom and their guests gathered March 1 for a lively family Purim celebration. Children used groggers made in Religious School to efface the detested name of Haman.

A Purim spiel was delivered by Larry Smith as Ahasaurus; Dan Marcus, who made a fetching Queen Esther; Kathy Johnson as Mordecai; the father and son team of Ed and Micah Tuttle bs Haman; and Sarah IXittle as Vashti.

The slut was written and directed by Rabbi Ehrenstein. A Purim songfest was led by Marti Nerenstone.

On March 4, the actual evening of Purim, adults gathered to read the Megillah and to discuss the holiday from a more mature perspective.

As with all members of the Jewish community, the joy of the holiday was tempered by the lecent tragic events in Israel.
