New grants seek to strengthen youngsters'Jewish identity By Claudia Sherman Foundation public rclationa director Following its guidelines to fund projects to enhance the Jewish identity of youth in our community, the Esther K. Newman/Carolyn Kully Newman Committee voted to award grants to six programs which will provide Jewish programming for preschoolers through teenagers. The committee met in April to consider several requests for funds and awarded grants to the following programs: The L'Chaim Locomotive, submitted by the Child Development Center, will promote self-expression through hands-on art prcgects paving the pathway to future learning. For example, three to fiveyear-olds will be encouraged to learn about the Tower of Babel through language and sandpaper activities and will use ceramic tile to learn about the 12 Tribes of Israel. Painting and decoupage projects will stimulate awareness of Noah's Ark. Paper mache creations will cover Jonah and the Whale, and the Ten Commandments will be explored when the children make their own clay stone tablets. The National Council of Synagogue Youth has been awarded a grant for Partners in Torah, a program that involves parents and children studying Jewish texts together one hour a week for eight weeks. Open to the entire Jewish community. Partners in Torah will provide an educational opportunity for families to be together and to encourage them to continue to pursue learning opportunities. To provide the same convention/Shabbaton experiences in which other Jewish children participate, the YACHAD Shabboa Prograna has received funds to enrich the Jewish identity of special needs children. In addition to immersing them in an intensive Jewish environment and providing them with Jewish experiences, this program also will connect special needs Jewish children in Omaha with other regional YACHAD Chapters. LIFELINES, sponsored by Temple Israel, will feature a series of storytelling programs for the
entire community including families with young children, adults, older adults, and students. Core groups will be formed to study and learn how to use the literary arts of listening, telling, and writing to express life stories, family histories, and Jewish culture. The intention is to bring youth and older adults together to share life stories, to express themselves creatively, and to transmit Jewish heritage. A 'sister school' relationship is to be established with students in Israel to explore each other's cultures via letters, stories, E-Mail, teleconununications, etc. Teachers are to be trained to incorporate these styles of learning into their classroom lessons. The Nebraska Jewish Historical Society received a grant for a two-year period to take Jewish children (parents are invited), teenagers, youth groups, and newcomers on bus tours of old and new synagogues, cemeteries, the funeral home, butcher shops, neighborhoods, etc. Tour guides will describe the history of the Jewish community and respond to riders' questions. The goal of this program is to develop an understanding of Jewish Omaha's roots, its history, development, and growth. Project Talmud is an opportunity to expose children to Jewish law, love, and lore by tapping into a national program. Sponsored by Chabad House, specially trained students will be in Omaha in November to give participants a sampling of Talmud although no prior Talmudic or Jewish textual background is necessary. The program strives to build and enhance Jewish pride and encourage nine to 16-year-old8 to continue their Jewish studies and involvement by addressing specific topics in the Talmud. Myra Oberman is chairman of the Grants Committee. Other members of the committee are Alan Binamow, Pam DePorte, Holly Fineman, Jonathan Broder, Dani Shrago, Bobbi Leibowitz, Carol Katznian, Rosalie Saltzman and Mary Rich. The Esther K. Newman/Carolyn Kully Newman grants are administered by The Foundation of the Jewish Federation of Omaha.
Professor seeks understanding By Shana Novak, Syracuae University Jewish Preas intern Editor's Note: Shana Novak based the following story on a telephone interview with Julius Lester. Her opinion is included. Upon opening the evening newspaper, it is not uncommon to find a fea-1 ture article on Louis I Farrakahn. While watching the evening newscast, one will often hear a report on I Farrskahn's hateful message. But turn off j the TV and put down the | paper, because en June | 11, the Omaha community will have a chance I to hear a speaker far Julius Lester more interesting than any news brief Julius Lester, professor of Judaic and Near Eastern Studies at the University of Massachusetta/Amherst, is an accomplished writer, singer, religious leader, and an sward-winning educator. He it also a veteran of the Civil Rights Movement. Julius Lester is an African American Jew who has a very personal view of Louis Farrakahn. *I have been involved with African American/ Jewish lisusa for SO jreus and while I do not identify with Farrakahn'a anU-Seniitiin, I can identify
with both sides of his issue," Professor Lester said. He will be visiting UNO and UNL in June to speak on Louis Farrakahn because he feels that there has always been an important interest in African American/ Jewish relations. During his presentation, he will encourage his listeners to focus less on Farrakahn as a person and more on the message of Farrakahn. Too many people focus on Farrakahn as an individual when they should be hearing his message as a representation of our society today," he said. Professor Lester pointed out that the messages Farrakahn conveys are easily found in social trends—such as growing racial tenaion and antiSemitism. Because these trends are so easily recognizable and are growing in popularity, the professor suggests that *we stop the character assassination of Farrakahn (he is human) and take a look at where we, as a society, are headed* Mr. Lester grew up in the South and also the Mi((west so he is familiar with the reactions that he might encounter when presenting this fragile sulyect to the Jewish citizens of Nebraska. Not just here, the Heartland, but all over this country. Professor Lester said that ha has "been met with underatandiog and sympathy from both sides. 'Most people will actually agree with me,' he added. His talks are In Omaha, June 11 at 7:30 pjn., at the UNO Aluaonl Center and in Lincoln on June IS at 7dO pjB. at Love Library.

Panwhat B«Haalotekba The Core of Rebellion Against God Tlie first-time reader of the Humash, or the firsttime liearer of tiie tales recorded here, is astonishecj at the depth of the rebelli(fns against Moses. Most of us can remember our reactions to all of this when we were still children. We were astounded at the Golden Calf incident, an(f*now, in our Sidrah, at the protest against the manna, "We want meat!* And, further, Miriam and Aaron's protest that Moses, only Moses, was the real leader, and they only hie assistants. And still, not much farther in the text, the serious rebellion of Korah and Da than and Abiram. Why are people not satisfied with their leaders? Are not these rebellions against Moses really rebellions against God? Was it meat they wanted, or some excuse to rail against God? (The Midrash Lekah Tov reminds us that the Israelites brought sheep and cattle with them out of Egypt. See Ex. 12 and Numb. 32.) To be sure, sometimes' the complaint against leaders (and thus against God) in the Bible is nothing more than we see in our public life: If we are to have a leader, I would prefer that it be me rather than you. More serious is the story of the (Jolden Calf and of the rebellion of Korah-and the rebellion of the Nazis against civilization. Both religious and social law (and in the Bible the two are one and the same) attempt to restrain the natural human instincts of acquisitiveness and hostility and turn them to love, sharing, caring and compassion. The need is to socialize and civilize the human being. Hence the "thou shalt nots' and the command to "Love thy neighbor as thyself* These are the primary needs. They are taught to little children and to sophisticated and powerful governments. The great prophetic movement detailed in the Bible by the recording of the angry denunciations of the prophets-for 400 yearsl-emphasizes what is meant by rebellion against God. There were periods in the histories of the kingdoms of Israel and Judah when the reigning monarcbs were in rebellion against God. There were periods when the avarice of landowners and merchants scoffed at the idea of responsibility to the imderprivileged. In oiu- day, there was the ultimate disdain of the Laws of God by the Nazis: Let the Teutonic superrace conquer and rule. Let massacre and the iron fist be the marks of empire. Let power be the ultimate, indeed the only, criterion of the right to govern. No matter how innocent it sounded: The demand for meat was the call to end this attempt to restrain the human will. Only what we call 'the vdll of God' could put down the rebellion.

Perspective By Bob Wolfaon, ADIVCRC director The Anti-Defamation League is constantly broadening our horizons and is looking for people with an interest in volunteerism to join in our efforts.. One aspect of involvement within our organization is the discussion of various and topical issues. Currently in our country, Minister Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam are considered top-of-mind topics for many people. Please join us on Tuesday, June 11, for an indepth look at Minister Farrakhan at a presentation entitled, "Farrakhan's Challenge to Blacks and Jews." Julius Lester will be the featured speaker. Julius Lester, a professor at the University of i Massachusetts/Amherst and a well-known Civil Rights activist, will be the featured speaker. There is no cost to attend the event. The evening will begin at 7:30 p.m. at the UNO Alumni Center, 67th and Dodge. Please call the ADL at 333-1303 for your reservations by Monday, June 10. Seating is limited. One of the Anti-Defamation League's topics of emphasis is the importance of inter-group relations. There are so many different types of people in this world, and each person has something positive to add to our diverse community. We believe that members of the Jewish community should not be isolated firom other groups of people. We must be aware of the needs of others who surround us. The ADL staff and lay leaders participate on political, charitable and volunteer levels throughout our community. We have been working hard to build coalitions which include multi-level, inner-group relations with other minorities and interest groups. If you are interested in volunteering for any of our prqjects, please call 333-1303. We always welcome new members to the ADL family.

'Anne Frank Remembered' By Caren Friedman, Waahincton University When Anne Frank dreamed of becoming a Hollywood star, she may not have envisioned that her life story would be as influential on us as it is today. But influential, inspiring, and compelling is the stoiy of Anne Frank-a story many of us have carried with us since our youth. 'Anne Frank; The Diary of a Young Girl,' originally published in Holland as The Secret Annex,* has and continues to capture the attention of millions of readers. Anne's memoirs reveal the experiences of Anne, her father, Otto, mother, Edith, and older sister, Margot, as they hid from the Nazis after the German occupation of Holland. The Oscar-winning documentary, Anne Frank Reinimbtrtd, goes to every length to complete Anne's story, and does so with astounding success. Producer, director, and writer Jon Blair's documentary lets us get to know the true Anne through touching interviews with those who knew her. The girl we knew from her diary's testimony comes alive; with our increased insight into her life, our appreciation for her grows. Even descriptions of Anne as "naughty," constantly causing a fuss, and pictures of a smirking youngster with piercing eyes only make us love her more. Such descriptions are balanced with visions of Anne as "spicy," a dedicated friend, atudiout worker and pictures of a happy child with bright eyes and a dauling smile. (Continued on page 14)

To tile Editon < i I have fond piemoriea of my visit to Israel-of peaceful, wann feeling* I received from all of the religiouB factions in the areas I visited. I would like to return to Israel and find an even greater interaction moving in a forward direction toward understanding and developing better ways of providing a better life for each and every one. I express the hope that the people would follow the example set in America. Our people have had to acljust to changing Presidents and have continued in a path that was guided by our individual goals and ideas of righteousness. That which is.good remains, if the people help their leader carry the load. Yassar Arafat should keep his smile and not frown upon his communication with a new leader. They are there to help each other in the concern for the care of their people. My heart becomes very heavy when I remember the account of Robert Marwell and the late Prime Minister Rabin. They will remain a sorrow to me for the rest of my life, as will many others. It is sometimes hard to put on paper a spontaneous thought spoken orally. My prayers for peace for all.

"Our Jewish community can take great pride in its outstanding Blumkin Home and the love and care its residents receive," he continued. The survey team spends approximately three days investigating the full range of nursing home services, including nursing, pharmacy, dietary, therapy, housekeeping, and psycho-social.
A Father's Day Masterpiece
Jan Schnelderman re-elected vice president of NCJW
Letter from Israel
Letter to the Editor
"the r«al winnen of the IBTMU election were Yigal Amir and Hamat. There if little doubt that l^ad Yitzhak Rabin been managing the peace negotiations and been the Labor candidate, he would have won. It is also equally clear that without the Hamas bombings in February and early March, the Labor party would have swept to victory. The losers in the election are the State of Israel, King Hussein of Jordan and Bill Clinton-though he has the tools to recoup the peace process in the Middle liast. , does the futiire now hold for an Israel lucim more sharply divided than ever, not just ver peace but over the very nature of Israeli society. First, as to the peace process—In the end, Israel will be bludgeoned into a worse deal than Peres was negotiating. Both Peres and Rabin fully understood that to end the perpetual state of war with the Palestinians, Israel had to gradually disengage from them. The Arab world, the European Community and most importantly the United States were really in Israel's comer because they recognized that the country was making sense from its own point of view and from the world's. The United States and the European community will simply not allow Netanyahu to expand settlements on the West Bank. He will almost certainly try, but on his first visit to America he will feel hke a schoolboy taken to the woodshed to be taught a lesson. One of our myths is that we do not need the United States, but they need us. It is the opposite of reality. Especially now that Russia is no longer the world power that it was, the U.S. does not heed Israel in the Middle East. But for Israel to remain militarily strong it needs to maintain strong ties to America so as to keep the arms flowing. This will not happen if Netanyahu tries to carry out his platform. So Netanyahu's victory, if pursued, will certainly weaken, not strengthen, Israel. Internally, the election greatly strengthened the ultra-Orthodox parties. These voters voted for - Likud in the last election. This time they had the best of both worlds. Because of the direct election of the prime minister, they could vote for a Likud candidate for that job, but express their religious solidarity in a separate party ballot. So Likud lost some eight or nine Knesset seats as a result of religious Likud voters choosing Haredi parties. Similarly, Labor lost seats to Sharansky's Russian immigrant party and the new Third Way party which broke away from Labor over the Golan. So what we see is a weak Likud despite Netanyahu and a weak Labor with the real balance of power now firmly in the hands of the religious parties and the new parties. This will certainly have significant impact on the social and economic policy of the country-most certainly not for the better. As I see the election, therefore, the peace process will go on with Netanyahu being dragged kicking.and screaming, but the fault lines in internal Israeli society have only been damaged.

IT TAKES BOTH BLACK AND WHITE TO GIVE IT MEANING.
If you think one race or religion or culture is the only one that's valid, you're living in the dark ages. Today ive depend on each other for almost everything. Take this paper, for example. It was made and printed and sold by white, black, red, yellow and brown men and women of different religions. And how about the food you cat every day. The TV you watch. The clothes you wear. The car you drive. There's no way they were made and distributed only by whites or only by blacks or only by Hispanics or Asians. When we finally realize just how dependent we all are on each other, we can begin to slop hating what's different about us and start enjoying the benefits of those differences. While we leach and celebrate our differences, we must also focus on the extreme. Minister Louis Farrakhan subscribes to the haired of anti-Semitism and racism. He repeatedly and aggressively promotes these ideas. He cannot be ignored. Please join ADI. an Tuesday, June II, at a lecture entitled, "Farrakhan's Challenge to Blacks and Jews." Julius Lester will be the featured speaker at 7:30 P.M. at the UNO Alumni Center, h7th k Dodge. This event is free and open to the public. Opportunities to financially support the work of the Anti-Defamation League will be availableMark Belmont, President Bob Wolfson, Regional Director

Jason and Michael have been members of the Bulldog baseball team for four years. Not only are these two graduated Beniors part of a quality team, they are also part of a strong firiendship. *I know how he thinks and he knows how I think— which can be a good thing in a game,* said Michael. Michael is the Bulldog catcher. Jason is the pitcher and feels that since a pitcher and a catcher must work so doeely together, it is important to trust the other. "i think that because Michael and I are such good firiends off the the field, it is easier for me to have confidence in my catcher,* he said. Jason and Michael have played baseball all of their lives. Both athletes feel that family support was one of the factors which led them (o love the game of baseball. Jason and Michael got more than a Uttle exercise out of the game, however. "Playing ball for so long teaches you to stick with something,* said Michael. Jason feels that it is great to be part of a team working towards the same goal. Of course, both Jason and Michael agree, 'It's fun to be with the guys!" Next fall, Jason and Michael will no longer be Bulldogs, they will be Jayhawks. Upon graduation, both athletes will head to the University of Kansas where a college career awaits. Although the M^jor League is not on the agenda, Michael hopes to m^'or in Pharmacy and Jason plans on Business Administration. Both agree that baseball was a fond memory of their past, but that college will' be a time to move oh and pursue new studies and friends. Michael is the son of Alan and Jayne Ruback. Howard and Sharon Epstein are the parents of Jason. Congratulations, guys—we are all very proud of you. Turn all of life's opportunities into home runs!

'Anne Frank Remembered' (Continued from page 8) Miep Gies, the Christtan woman who was the Frank's connection to the outside world, ^ad brought daily food, information, clothing, books, protection, and comfort to them and the four oth^ ers cramped in the annex above Otto Frank's business,; Interviewed extensively in the film, Miep's testimony is perhaps the most riveting. She tells of the pressures she felt in her role as protector, and how Anne was the one who helped put her at ease. Gies, now in her 80's, relays that the arresting Nazi ofRcer, on that fateftil day in August, 1944, needed a contained for the loot he had taken from the annex, and hastily emptied the contents of Otto Frank's bag onto the floor. There lay the pages of Anne's diary, loose and scattered across the floor. It was Miep Gies who collected those pages and kept the diary, urtread, until Otto Frank returned to her after surviving Auschwitz. Footage of Otto Frank taken before his death was especially moving. Upon his return to HoUcuid, he clung to the hope that his children were still alive, i Otto Frank was the only survivor among the eight residents of the annex. Anne had written in her diary an imaginary letter to her friend, Hanneli (rosier, whom she had 'assumed to be on her way to death. The girls met again across a barbed-wire fence at Bergen-Belson. Ciosler recalls tossing over small packages of food to her friend on the other side of the wire. From the tour of the secret annex to footage of the death camps to stories told by Anne's girlhood friends, we are taken on an emotional journey. Many chose to take this journey together, as Anne Frank Remembered premiered in Omaha on Thursday evening, May 30. A benefit for the AntiDefamation League, this special community event brought together compassion, memories, and undeniably, many tears. A sincere introduction by Larry Raful stressed that the ADL not only serves to combat antiSemitism, but also promotes Holocaust education. As the nim explains. Holocaust deniers claimed that Anne's diary was a hoax-their amiss logic stemming from the various translations and versions of the work. It has been proven by scholars that Anne's words are indeed authentic. Jews are not rid of the claims that Holocaust deniers continue to make. Mr. Raful stated that "if ADL doesn't do this (confront denial] no one else will do it." Bob Wolfson, ADL/CRC regional director, thanked his staff, family, and community for their support. "We have a wonderful fabric of Jewish life in this community," Mr. Wolfson said. This community heard Hanneli Gosler in the fllm state that Anne "could have really given something to the world.". She already has.

Students share Israel experience By Pam Monaky Federation Bonirtniilcatlwna directoi^
From left: Steve Pitlor, Andrea Shanklin and John Ryan. Andrea Shanklin and John Ryan, high school students from Omaha Public Schools, spoke to the Jewish Federation board members at their meetr ing May 28 about their experiences in Israel as part of the Anderican Israel Friendship League. Steve Htlor, a member of the National Board of Directors for the American Israel Friendship League (AIFL), helped the Omaha Public Schools implement the program last year. "The Youth Exchange Program is one of the programs offered by the AIFL. The overall mission is to further educational and cultural ties between the two countries," said Mr.Pitlor. John and Andrea, who were in Israel for three weeks in December, were the first students from Omaha to participate in the Youth Exchange Program. "The highlight for me was the hours spent talking to my host sister dispelling misconceptioiis we both had about our respective countries. I told her that not everyone in America is like 'Beverly Hills 90210'. It really changed the way I view the Middle East," said Andrea. John said he has a new perspective on faith. "1 was brought up Presbyterian. People in Israel are just Uke evieryone else, but the Israelis have more than a religion, they have a culture. I would like to go back and live on a kibbutz." Students who are interested in the program must apply at their high school. An interview is set up, and selection is made based on academics and the student's ability to be an ambassador for the program. Funding is from private donations and the Israeli Department of Public Affairs. "We hope to have Omaha continue to participate and to expand this program in the future,"-said Mr.Pitlor.

Pool's new name honors Harry Kuklin Antelope Pool at 22nd and N Street in Lincoln will be renamed in memory of Harry H. Kuklin, longtime swimming coach and school administrator, Friday, June 21, at 11:30 a.m. at the pool. Parks director Jim Morgan said that Antelope Pool was an excellent choice to rename after Mr. Kuklin because it was built to replace the Muny Pool, where he was involved along with the development ofthe Woods Park pool complex. Mr. Kuklin was a former University of Nebraska diving champion and Lincoln High School athlete and coach. He was a high school diving champion for two years and a conference diving champ at NU wh^n it was part ofthe Big Six in 1934 and 1935. Mr. Kuklin also coached Lincoln High to five swimming chamionships in the 1940's and 1950'8, along with a state tennis title, two sand green crowns, and three golf championships. Additionally, Mr. Kuklin was a teacher and councelor nt Lincoln High and worked as an assistant principal before he retired in 1977. He died in March 1994 at the age of 80. A plaque and information board will be installed at the pool to toach youngsters about Mr. Kuklin's contributions to the community and his work with youth.
