Saving Jews and Judaism Dear Friends: Our community is once more in the midst of its Annual Campaign on behalf of the Jewish Philanthropies. It would be an unwarranted assumption of your unfamiliarity with the "facts of life" to start explaining what the Philanthropies do. Yet I make bold to suggest that the Philanthropies Campaign is a vital organ of the body of the Jewish community: If it did not exist, we should at once have to create it. . • The Campaign provides funds first of all for the House of Israel in Israel, who are, literally, on the firing line, and for the rehabilitation of Jews who are able to reach Israel's friendly shores. But in the United States and in the Jewish Community of Omaha, the Philanthropies Campaign provides funds for a host of organizations and activities essential to our survival and growth. Included among these, as you may know, is a subvention for Jewish education, in which our own 'Rabbi Krunkc Beth El Religious School shares. The Philanthropies Campaign is involved both In saving Jews and saving Judaism. Nothing short of sacrificial giving is giving enough. Sincerely yours, Rabbi Myer S. Kripke Beth El Synagogue
Dear Congregant:
The Omaha Jewish Press has been keeping us well informed regarding the forthcoming Philanthropies campaign. Many members of our community have devoted much of their time and energies in planning for this campaign. They-deserve our fullest appreciation and support. Participating in a Philanthropies campaign is in the.best tradition of Judaism. Our responsibility toward our fellow man is the cornerstone upon which our faith is built. Judaism is, in fact, in* conceivable without a commitment on our part towards the needs and welfare of those less fortunate than we. I urge every member of Beth Israel Synagogue to support this campaign to the best of his „ ,.. w . „ abilities. Your generous and prompt response will naom isanujc bring life to individuals and institutions here and abroad.
• - • • • . .
Let us all join hands in this sacred endeavor. With Synagogue greetings. . . . . • Sincerely yours, Isaac Nadoff, Rabbi Beth Israel Synagogue
gious Dear Congregant: I write to beg your wholehearted response to what I think is the single and most vital religious duty which faces us as Jews: the sharing of what we have with others. Our Jewish Philanthropies Campaign is Judaism in action, Response to it is affirmation of our dignity as human beings and response to the word of God. Your friends and mine who are involved In the campaign give, in addition to their own contributions, much time and thoughtfulness. Help them and all the recipients of our gifti et home nnd abroad'wherever our people live by giving generously apd promptly. Life itself de- Itabbt Brook* pends on what we do: My own thanks and the thanks of all who benefit from our efforts are yours. Sincerely, - . ' Rabbi Sidney H. Brooks Temple Israel

Aufogjsy issue New York (JTA)—A, number of American Jewish organisations which have cabled inquiries to the Israel Government inquiring about the dispute over autopsies there, have received from Israel's Prime Minister Levi Eshkol the following reply: "The total autopsy issue has been distorted by ill-founded assertions. The Government of Israel Is profoundly conscious of the humanitarian and moral issues involved and.is making determined efforts to arrive at a solution satisfactory to all. Tha whole matter is before tho Knesset, the principal object being the inclusion of an amendment or amendments to the existing law which will take full cognizance of the susceptibilities of the next of kin. Consultations are in continuous progress between the Ministers of Justice and of Health and eminent rabbis, doctors and public figures." "The Prime Minister himself Is involved In these exchanges which are designed to guarantee a. law expressing the traditional Jewish spirit of respect for tho deceased and family, while safeguarding the principle of Piknach Nefesh.

Who's Paying for Washington (JTA)--A list of 450 European s u p p o r teis of George Rockwell's world Nazi movement, based in Arlington, Va., has been transmitted to the United States Ambassador in Vienna, Simon W'ieseiuhal, head of the Vienna Jewish Documentation Center, r e v e a l e d this week in an address before the National Press Club.

A Frenchman's View of .-Jews Most Frenchmen do not mind having a Jewish doctor, a Jewish bo«6, or even a Jewish son ©r daughter-in-law; but they are split 50-50 over support for any Jew asking to Jpllow in de Gaulle's footsteps as President *f Uie Republic. Those are the findings of a poll conducted by the French Institute of Public Opinion Research at the request of a magazine "Adam." The World Jewish Congress Institute of Jewish Affairs, in a report on the study notes that 60 per cent of those polled thought that French Jews were ss French as any other Frenchman. Nineteen per cent dissented and 21 percent had no comment. Twenty years ago. 4:t per cent of a poll did not look upon French Jews as Frehchmfii.

In A u s t r i a , greater anti-Semitism today exists than in West Germany, according to Mr. Wiescnlhai. But lie said some olficials of the Austrian Government were opposing such tendencies.

of Slie Floating Banknotes Tf-l Aviv • iJTAi-Police, reported this week that thousands of Israeli banknotes, in denominations of one. 10, and 50 pounds, were washed ashore near Ri.shon I,eZion. Israelis braved wintry weather and waded into the sea to pick up the bills. Police learned alwut the find when one conscientious citizen notified thorn of a iind of several banknotes he had picked up on the seashore. When a second man reported a similar iinding, the skeptical police went to the seashore and,began digging. The notes were genuine. They appeared either to have been hidden by thieves in sonic kind of container which ruptured, freeing the banknotes to wash ashore, or to have been thrown from an Israeli ship passing from Haifa to Ashdod.

Newsweek Reports on Social and Religious New York'OTA)—The spiritual meaning of the Bar Mttzvah ceremony "and the years oi training th.it precede it" are "virtually submerged by tlie celebration that follows/' Newsweek magazine reported in a survey of Bar Mitzvah practices in the United Stales. Jewish parents were pictured as increasingly i g n o ring the solemnity of the rite and "prodded by preying caterers, turning it into a gaudy spectacle." The article quoted a number of
rabbis as deeply disturbed and seeking to deal with the problem. "All the excitement leaves an Impression on the boy that his responsibility as a Jew is merely social," Rabbi Benjamin Gorrelick of Detroit's Beth Aaron Congregation, told the newsweekly.

For the Bar Mitzvah boy, the article remarked, "the alfair is as fruitful as it is fun: the gilts he collects can be worth as much as the party costs." Rabbi Moslie Rabin of Valley Beth Shalom .Synagogue in San Fernando Valley asserted that "the vulgarity of bar mitzvahs is worse in southern California than anywhere else.

As we observe this festival of freedom, we know that Soviet Jews are not free to learn of their Jewish past, to hand it down to their children. They cannot learn the languages of their fathers. They cannot teach their children to be the teachers, the rabbis of future generations. They can only sit in silence and become invisible. We shall be their voice, and our voices shall be joined by thousands of men of conscience aroused by the wrongs suffered by Soviet Jews. Then shall they know that they have not been forgotten, and they that sit in darkness shall yet see a great light.
Jewish humor has been doing a booming b u s i n e s s lately. There are many comedians telling about their Jewish childhoods and their "Yiddisha Mamas." Comedians with heavy eastern accents often do skits and monologues characterizing Jewish families. Recently, books have appeared explaining "How to be a Jewish M o t h e r or Daughter." Do you think it's r l g h i , or does it bother you when Jewish comedians tell Jewish j o H e s? Docs it bother you when nonJewish comedians tell Jewish jokes?

From the standpoint of the Jewish Press, I start thinking about Rosh Hashana early in the summer in preparation for the New Year's edition.

Looking for An Israeli? Go to N.Y.I Want to hern' Hebrew? Go to Tel Aviv? H a i f a ? Jerusalem? Not necessary. Take the subway to the Borough of Queens in New York City; walk into Alexfinders Department Store or just saunter up the wide, boulevards and dollars to bagels, you'll hear Hebrew not once but jit least a dozen times. This is Rcgo Park and Forest Hills, Queens, where there are probably more Israelis than in all of Upper Galilee. According to one Israeli consulate official, there are G0,000 Israelis in the United States of whom about one-third are in New York City. And many of them are already permanent residents. there are two types of Israelis living in Queens. "Official Israelis" make up one ' type, those here on Government work cr business who !i!:c the neigh' borhood but plan to return to Israel as soon as their job is finished. The second type are yordim (emigrants); people who left Israel for good—tliey went down from Jerusalem. Why They Come In interviews with Israeli emigrants to the United States, it appears the basic reason for their coming to America, especially the adults, is economic. They believe they can make a better living here—and'most do. There's no question that at the beginning it's not so easy financially. Adolph G. Kraus, executive director of the Foicst Hill;; Jewish Center, says that most of the yordim living in this middleclass area have a difficult time economically in the beginning. "By the time they pay the rent, which can run to n minimum of $50 a month a room, there's not very much left," he said (In some of the new apartment b u i l d i n g s in Q u e e n , rents can be as high us $(i0 to $'J0 a month for a room.) "Most Israelis arrive here without specific trades or professions. Emigration from Israel, high in the middle and late 1950's, has been voluntarily reduced in the past few years, according <o the Israeli officials, because of better economic conditions iuihe Jewish State. The average yored here'.tells' you the "dollar goes much farther than the Israeli pound." There are those who believo that in America they can build up a savings account for the future. An, apartment, for instance, in Israel costs about $10,000, H large Burn for the average Israeli wage-earner. "Here, the dollar is a good dollar," said one Israeli, adding that many hoped to stay hero several years, save up enough money and then return to Israel to buy sin apartment or business, •' ;'•' The drive to sc the wbrl'd or" live in New York City attract* many to come here for'a visit" or to study. But what happens is that even with the.best intentions of returning ''life is just too good here," the Israelis, including the sabras, the nativeborn, say. Often Israeli students, who come here with no desire to remain, s e t t l e down in the United S t a t e s . The affluent s o c i e t y and good jobs hold them. Then, too, many marry Americans, }- .

part of American-Yiddish life or the American-Jewish community. First of all, they are busy getting settled economically. Second, they lived in Israel whore it was, to use a simple cliclie, "natural to be a Jew." It is my opinion after talking to a number of them, that the need to feel involved in a Jewish community structure to perpetuate Judaism, or even a simple attachment to Judaism, is missing among the yordim. Mr. Kraus pointed out that these new Americans, concentrating on making a living, are not the type to volunteer for work in the Temple. , On the other hand, young Israelis join all types of youth
groups. Like young people all over the world, the teenager adjusts much faster. He api.s, in this ease, American youngsters and belongs to American Jewish youth clubs, including, interestingly, Zionist youth movements. Generally, they are good students. Israelis who have decided to stay here permanently usually send their children to public schools. The majority do not send them to a religious school because they, the parents, are not religious, and they feel their children know Hebrew anyway.

Featuring the Following QUESTION: Why do we use a wooden spoon and a feather upon making Hie traditional search for (he leaven on the evening before Passover? <HBR, New York, N.Y.) ANSWER: The answer to this question is basically a practical one. Since these objects are used to collect and gather the Chometz, it is preferable that they be burned along with the Chometz so that no crumb of leavening be left behind after the search and burning of the Chometz in the Jewish home. A wooden spoon is also used because it can be burned (something that cannot be done to a metal spoon). The use of the feather is a most practical method of thoroughly sweeping up the crumbs of Chometz, The feather is thin enough and light enough to get into corners and into tight crevices. Also, it can easily be burned along with the Chometz which it has swept up. ,. Question: Why Is ibe Passover Matzoh devoid of salt or spice? ANSWER: It is particularly required to be so because the addition of salt or any spice into the dough of the Matzoh would hasten its fermentation and thus possibly .make the resulting: product Chometz. Some claim that the lack of salt or spice makes, the Mat» h more like the poor man's bread which it is supposed to be.

Thanks for your comments and ciicoiii affluent, after last week's initial literary flight in 'the Press. As lit lie effort, as might ap|Riir to fjo into these sctibbling*, 1 must confess that it took me a couple of weeks just to decide w h a t to call this "thing." The heading you see was finally chosen because It got across in big, hold type, a word w h i c h is dear to my heart: Commercial. One of the hazards of my choice is obvious. Upon seeing this word Ilia I is so dear to my heart, the reader is apt to leap out of bis jocker and dash for a "nash" in the ice box. I thought of using the title of my column during those Jonggone college d a y s : Strictly Kushner. This nonsensical heading was invented by, as I remember, Ivy chums Jack Cohen and Arnie Stern. It was said to be euphonious with "Strictly Kosher." I can't even tell you how niHiiy middle-aged college graduates are walking the face of this earth today who still think my first name is "Strictly." And most ,of them felt "Strictly" was fbr the Autlubon Society. The other finalist for our heads-tip candidate w;is "The Prints and the Paper." But it's too cute. Too Aesopian. Too indirect. Too bad. Our unoriginal and uncopyrighted tip of the week for businessmen: Think success to be successful. And when you're thinking of quality printing for your business (forms, lellPiheads, envelopes, etc.) or have ahvajs been interested in trying n direct mail campaign, give me a cull at 346-7900. If it's printed, that's when it's t i m e for n Commercial (1203 Pacific) — serving many of Omaha's most successful businessmen.' And to one nnd nil, my best wishes for a happy Passover holiday! Talk to you next week.
