It has become tradition for us to review the 10 top names —the new names, t h a t achieved their fame or notoriety d u r i n g the past twelve m o n t h s . Once 1 i s t e d in pre- Car) Alpert vipus years, names do not reappear here. Last year's ten (how many do you remember?) were Gila AImagor, Zalman Aranne, Prof. Elihu Kalz, Prof. Morris Levi, Nehama Lifsitz, Dr. D a v i d Maier, Yehoshua Peretz.. Mordechai Rahamim, Zeev Sharef, Prof. Zvi Vavetz. And this year's top ten, in alphabetical order: -Yitzhak Ben Aharon, Secretary-General of the Histadruth, whose aggressive handling of that key post, and his bitter feuds with leading personalties, have created an incipient labour crisis in Israel. __ Yasha, Kazakov, 23-ycar-oId Technion student and immigrant to Israel from Russia. His hunger strike and demonstration at the U.N. Building in New York focused world attention on the refusal of the USSR to permit his family, and other Russian Jews, to emigrate to Israel.

ie Year and resumed her career on the sta?e. William Rogers, U. S. Secretary of State. His proposal for a cease-fire along the Suez Canal and a resumption of the Jarring talks brought momentary hope for peace in the Middle East, but was followed by misgivings, doubts and disappointment. Michael Dennis William Rohan, Australian citizen, was found, guilty of setting fire to the Al Aksa mosque in Jerusalem, and thereby causing a new crisis in Israel's situation. The flames that consumed part of the mosque could easily have set off a far more extensive conflagration. Prof. Shlomo Samueloff, together with Mr. Salah Muallam, were held captive by the Syrians for over three months when their TWA plane was hijacked to Damascus. They were freed only after an exchange of prisoners involving the release of 71 Egyptians and Syrians who had been captured by Israel. Benny Shalit, Israel navy of !ficer, married to a non-Jewish girl, sought a Supreme Court ruling that his two children should be registered as of Jewish nationality, but of no religion. The Court upheld him on the fine points of the law, but the Knesset thereafter hastened to enact special legislation so that a similar verdict should not again be possible.

Israel Bond Leaders Focus On Future Economic Needs Some 500 Israel Bond leaders from the United States, Canada, and other parts of the world recently participated in an international economic conference with top Israeli leaders. The conference, which #lso marked the aoth^annlversay of the Israel Bond Organization, dealt with Israel's immediate and longer-range economic needs. Since its inception, the Israel Bond drive has raised moro than $1.5 billion for every phase of Israel's economic development. These resources have been a vital source of strength for Israel over the past two decades during which agricultural production increased from $84 million to $510 million, industrial production rose from $372 million to $2.7 billion, while exports leaped from $60 million to $1.25 billion. Among Israel government officials who met with the bond leaders were Prime Minister Golda Meir, former Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion, Finance Minister -Pinches Sapir and Foreign Minister Abba Eban. The photos shown here illustrate some of the progress mad* possible through Israel Bond funds.

Omaha Jewry9s Forward Look
New Jewish Center in Omaha's Future
A "dream for years" finally Is becoming a reality for Dan Katzman, as well as the entire Omaha Jewish Community. That dream is of a new Jewish Community Center which will answer the educational, cultural and athletic needs of the community. "The pursuit of a Jewish Life," said Katzman, chairman of the building committee, "is not confined to ritualistic observance. It should consist of a common meeting ground of Omaha Jews who want to augment their synagogue attendance." He went on to say, "There is good attendance in the three houses of worship in Omaha. The new center will provide the common meeting ground." But the "meeting ground" won't be more than that—10 * acres of land just west of 96th "Street—for about three more years. A lot of work must go into the building of a center to answer the needs of the' entire community, from the smallest preschooler to the Golden Ager, and most important—money. „ $2,250,000 PROJECT - • Two and one quarter million dollars, to be exact. This is the cost figure for construction and furnishing the new center estimated by Elmer Gross, p'resi-^ dent of the Jewish Federation.' "The purchase of the land was made possible through the Milton and Corinne Livingston Fund, as well as the sale of the present building to Northwestern Bell Telephone Co.," said Gross. • "So far we have raised $25,000 for the .initial design cost without a formal drive," said Dan Katzman. "We would like to raise at least $2 million because we don't want to have a mortgage." The fundraising and actual planning activities will begin with the arrival of the new Jewish Community Center Di-
rector, Mortimer Greenberg, who has previously served as director of the New Orleans Jewish Community Center. "The new director will, help in the design of the building as well as the program," said Don Polsky, local representative of the. Los Angeles based architectural firm of Richard Neutra and Associates. - "As yet we don't know how many rooms there will be, their sizes or their functions. Mr. Greenberg also will want to talk with the community for their suggestions." According to Katzman, the programming must state the thoughts of the Jewish cultural, religious and athletic life. GOOD FOR 75 YEARS "We want the center to be good for at least 75 years to come, as well as in the TO's," said Katzman. "We're dealing with generations three-fold off." Both Katzman and Gross feel Mortimer Greenberg is the man, to help direct the construction of a new Jewish Community Center. He was formerly involved in planning new centers In New Orleans and Birmingham, Ala. Some of the physical plans for the new center, as described by Katzman, include a regulation size swimming pool, a larger athletic arena, Health Club facilities for both men and women, outdoor baseball and football fields, and eventually a tennis court. Katzman would also like to see the cultural facilites expanded. . "We want to be able to use the folly air-conditioned center 12 months a year rather than just through the whiter," he said. Bath Gross and Katzman would like to see an Intensified theater program as an outlet for youngsters. "We also hope to have full dining f 6 o m facilities: We would like to be able to serve
New Year Greetings
banquet functions and committee dinners. These things are not possible now because of the obsolecence of the building," said Gross. Katzman explained it will be six to eight months before any plans can be presented. STAttT NEXT YEAR "By next Jewish New Year we hope it will be started," lie said. "It is easily available to the center of the Jewish population, the bulk of which lives out west," he said. According to Katzmao,.fund-, raising for the building will begin this winter.
"The Omaha Jewish community paid $2 million for the Israel Emergency Fund in two years," he said. "We want this same amount in three years. We are going to appeal to the people's responsibility to the coming generations. "Every month we wait, the cost goes up one per cent. Katzman hopes maintenance cost of the new center, once it is built, will be offset by membership fees. "Right now Jewish Community Center membership is a token.$7 a month, he said. VIn Jewish Community Center facilities similar to the one we
propose, membership fees are around $120 to $150 for use of all facilities." ; "Omaha is one of the few cities in the Midwest still struggling with an outdated center," said Gross. (The present cen- ter at 20th and Dodge Streets was built in 1925.) "If we don't build a new center, our generation Is remiss," said Katzman. "We haven't perpetuated ourselves. With tbe threat of assimilation and the increasing acceptance of Jews In the non-Jewish, community, we must continue our Jewish concepts on other than a' pure ! personal enjoyment basis." j V"

To Be Wanted "If the people come in on their own accord, they are happier," said Orkow. "One of our residents, Jacob Green, came in on his own 10 years ago and he still lives here. He" is 95 years old and loves the home. "But if a person is put in .the home, he feels antagonism. After living here awhile he overcomes his antagonism to the home, but not to his family," he continued. "We prefer they choose to come in, after all; we have to live with them," he said. "Otherwise they get a feeling of not being wanted, and it is our job to counteract this by showing them we want them." • Adjusting to old age can be a traumatic and frightening experience.

TIIE WHITE HOUSE Washington THE WESTERN WHITE HOUSE San Clemente It is often thought and expressed that we in the modern world know all the problems faced by mankind but have just to find the solutions. And in looking for ways to ease man's struggles, we are more likely to suggest what others might or should do. Jewish tradition teaches that the power to do good or evil Is in our own hands, and the season of the Jewish High Holy Days holds a meaningful lesson for men of all faiths. At this time we are urged to look inward, to examine our own lives and to consider what each of us can do for the betterment of mankind. These days of atonement prod us to an awareness of man's own worth and dignity, and of the divine and human potentialities within each of us. They are days of great hope, for the driving force of man's freedom is in tils ability to look inward, appraise his limitations, and seek means to widen hishorizons. , MyJhQUghts are^with you as you begin these days of worship and I send my warmest wishes to ail Americans of the Jewish faith for a New Year of peace and happiness. Shanah Tovah! ' RICHARD NIXON

Minneapolis NCJW Attacks Bias
99 Women Deliver J
Minneapolis (JTA) ~- Ninety Jewish women have organized and presented 200 performances of original playlets which combined entertainment and anti-bias messages for more . than 70,000 enthusiastically-receptive pupils In Minneapolis public and parochial schools during the last three school years. The "Maskeleers" troupe, organized by the Minneapolis section of the National Council of Jewish Women, provides for many of the pupils their first taste of live drama. The idea developed from the discovery by the section that the city's elementary schools needed enrichment programs for their assemblies, but had no money for that purpose. Mrs. Leo Wblk, then the section president, and Mrs. Charles F . Mark, later to become the Masketeers chairman, met in the summer of 1967 with Dr. John B, Davis, newly-appointed school superintendent, to explain their proposal to stage "colorful, entertaining plays for,children with a moral." The idea received quick approval from both Dr. Davis and tho community resource department of tho public school system. A typical drama is "The Stranger's Crown," performed by NCJW members done up in purple body paint and purple wigs. A purple king and queen and three purple princesses cavort and sing. . '•'-
The play depicts a kingdom of purple people visited by a pale-skinned girl sent to the kingdom by a musical magician. The visitor wins a singing contest. On. being unmasked, the winner turns out to be a different color—tin-purple. Frightened by the difference, the purple people mistreat the visitor until she persuades them to understand that "if everyone was the same, it would be like looking at yourself in a mirror all the time,". _ ; : A curriculum prepared by the section, dealing with the theme of each play gives teachers and children a chance to explore the anll-blas message further, In reading and discussion, In writing and so"and finally, In group activities." Special performances a,re given in advance to" principals and teachers to enable them to prepare the children for the assembly presentations. The troupe director, Mrs. Barry Bonoff, is also the troupe playwright. Tho program has% been, financed by the section's donor and thrift shop, but local buslnesses, community and religious organizations also have helped. ' • Rehearsals have been held in synagogues. Janitorial expense for a dress rehearsal held at a school was covered by the Minneapolis Human Relations Center. Paints, fabric and corrugated board for sets have been provided by local firms.

Middle-East See-Saw Tilted Against Israel By Sam Llpskl Just a year ago, in the days between Yom Kippur and Succot; Mrs.-Golda Meir left Washington after a meeting with President Nixon and spoke reassuringly of "Israel's friend in the W h i t e House." Confident that, the United States! would be sympathetic to the requests for military aid she had brought on her ^shopping list,"' Mrs. Meir re- LJpski turned to a reassured people at home after an unforgettable New York welcome. Even more significant than her hopes for military aid was Mrs. Meir's conviction that the United States would not force Israel to agree to a Middle East settlement which Vould threaten her future security. But barely a year later Senator Abraham Ribicoff (Dem., Conn.) was telling the United States Senate a different and troubling story. Speaking after Israel had agreed to the American peace initiative but had found Egypt was violating the cease-fire, Senator R i b i c o f f said: "The drama which has Unfolded in Israel-American relations during the p a s t few weets could charitably be described as a sell-out. Actually, it Is worse than that. A sell-out In international relations implies that in return for sacrificing another nation's interests, you gain something in return. "I fail to see how the United
States will benefit from her failure to provide Israel with a minimum of diplomatic and military support at this crucial juncture." What had happened in that year which led Senator Ribicoff and other observers in Washington to believe that with friends like the United States, Israel hardly needed any enemies? As any official in the State Department is prepared to explain the answer is a very complex one. Fluctuating Policy Yet the answer is not all that complex. For as long as the Middle East was primarily a scene of conflict between the Arabs and Israel, with the Great' Power involvement of the United States and the Soviet Union'the secondary factor, Washington's policies fluctuated between the A r a b 1st dominated State Department and the more far-sighted White House which t e n d e d to be somewhat more pro-Israel. But as the Soviet Union began to thrust boldly into the Middle East, Great Power involvement became the primary factor. .When Moscow took the unprecedented step of committed combat personnel and Russian pilots to assist Egypt against Israeli air attacks the analysts of the Nixon administration were gravely concerned and the emphasis of American policy changed. . It was clear that the Soviets had not undertaken anything quite as radical in Great Power relations since the cold war began in the forties. Now the pri-

mary objective of American policy became how to avoid a military confrontation with the Soviets. "The"Balkans a n a l o g y of World War I was used by President Nixon and his advisor Dr. Henry Kissinger to underline the White House fears that despite themselves both the United States' and the Soviet Union would be dragged into a war as the reluctant protectors of their allies. Nixon Doctrine AU this had been happening at a time when the whole thrust of American foreign p o l i c y under the Nixon doctrine was to avoid future entanglements and m i l i t a r y commitments which could lead to another Vietnam, For policy-making purposes In the intensely political atmosphere of the United States it was hardly important that Israel presented a different situation to Vietnam, and that the Balkans analogy of 1911 with the Middle East of 1970 was far from accurate. The United States was tired of the conflict in the Middle East, tired of the Vietnam war, and fearful of a major clash wit hthe Soviet Union in the Mediterranean which c o u l d have u n p r e d i c t a b l e consequences for two nuclear powers. At this point the pressure on Israel to start making concessions, until then relatively persistent but > not unbearable; Israel's quarrel is not with American desire to avoid a fight with-Moscow. Nobody, especially Israel, would benefit from that and the-suggestions by some commentators that this is what Israel has aimed for Is patently absurd, But Israel resents the idea that America should buy peace of mind with the security of her citizens. It is more than resentment, of course. It is the basis for the anger of the people of Israel, from the Tel Aviv taxi-driver to the most senior Cabinet officials, that they are expected to be more magnanimous in victory, more magnanimous la victory, more
more flexible in their basic de-. wnndg nrj5ecurityJ_than any nation has ever been. y£t4he,iemarkabJeJFaei; remains that up to a point, Is• rael is prepared to be precisely that. It Is prepared to make in return ^ n e L B for some secuflryT'Yet as Ute column is being written it has become only too clear that the United States will be pressing Israel to do far more. Withdrawal to the 1967 -borders is the price Washington seems to be asking — however dressed up. The Big Power involvement —of—the-^vlct--Unionr-largely_ brought about' by the United States failure to act decisively after the 1967 war; the Russian missiles on the Suez, largely, there because the United States frnlued to make it clear by concrete support of Israel that it would not accept the build-up; the Soviet pilots because the, United States dithered on Israel's request for Phantoms; --Egyptian cease-fire violations to whichi the United States turned a blind eye and a deaf ear; and now pressure on:Israel to "move into the negotiations on Arab terms and accept withdrawal to the 1967 borders —with "insubstantial altera/floris."

Their Heritage? The Acorn A Rabbi was once passing through a field where he saw a very old man planting an oak tree. "Why are you' ' planting that Jree?" said he. "You surely do not expect to live long .enough to see the acorn growing into an oak tree?" "My ancestors," replied the old man, "planted trees not for themselves, but for us, in order that we might enjoy their shade or their fruit. I am doing likewise for those who v will come after me."

Jewish life m CounriJ Bluffs
Small Community's Dilemma Brings Concern for the Future What is it like to be a member of a small-town Jewish community without a rabbi but with a strong sense of pride? The Jews of Council Bluffs, Iowa, know. The handful of about 55 Jewish families live in a town that has had a Jewish population since 1881 and a synagogue since 1904 when Council Bluffs was only 59 years old. The Jewish population of Council Bluffs has expanded and declined since B'nai Israel Synagogue was founded in 1904, but it is the longtime residents who see most • clearly the dramatic changes the community has undergone. Mrs. Ben Telpner, a Council Bluffs resident for 50 years remembers when the community boasted of 200 Jewish families. . "I came to Council Bluffs when I was a young girl, and most of the Jewish people there lived in the area around the synagogue (618 Mynster .St.),-" she said. ."The Jewish community was big then, about 200 families. But people have died and moved away, and now there couldn't be more than 55 families left." "Intermarriage has taken a lot of Jewish people, too," she went on. "Council Bluffs has mote converts than any other town of its size—converts OUT of Judaism., Then there are also many Jews who don't practice." ' What turns pie people'" of Council Bluffs away from their
religion and their Jewish way of life? Mrs. Telpner believes assimilation has a lot to do with it. "Many of our young girls marry out of their faith because they have more contact with non-Jews than with Jews," she said. "Their .neighbors are Christian, their school friends are Christian, there are very few Jewish young people here." Mrs. Saul Suvalsky, a native of Council Bluffs, feels.much the same way. She says the Council "Bluffs young people have little or no contact with Omaha's Jewish youth, and because of this they miss out on important intra-religlous contacts. Both Mrs. Telpner and Mrs. Suvalsky attribute much of the lack of Jewish feeling to the fact that there is no rabbi. "The last rabbi we had, Rabbi Klein, left Council Bluffs over a year ago," said Mrs. Telpner Mrs. Suvalsky added that some Jewish families join Omaha synagogues, thus weakening support for B'nai Israel Synagogue in Council Bluffs. Because there is no rabbi in Council Bluffs, Sami Sacks, a resident, conducts- Saturday morning and Sunday morning services at the synagogue. . "He wants to keep our synagogue alive and does it from his heart," Mrs. TeJpner said. The branch of Judaism practiced is what Mrs. Telpner de-

scribes as "semi-Orthodox, 'Or modern Orthodox." What keeps Jewish people in Council Bluffs if they can see their fold withering so? "The .people enjoy living here," said Mrs. Tel p n e r . "They love the beauty of the city and its hills. They see good growth potential in Council Bluffs. It's a cohesive community in that everybody knows everybody else." ' "Council Bluffs family life is steady," Mrs. Suvalsky said. "Most of the people here are second generation residents." Occupations of Council Bluffs Jews range the same as occupaitons of Jews in almost any other city, except of course on a much smaller scale. Most residents are businessmen— g r o c e r s , builders, clothiers. Some art inTealeslate^some in the appliance business, and a few are professionals—doctors and lawyers. Jewish organizations are active. Hadassah, in its, 40th year, Sisterhood and the Jewish Welfare Federation all play a part in Jewish activities. But the future of Council Bluffs Jewish life looks bleak to most of the residents, young and old alike, "We dotft have many young people, and the ones we have dont* keep with the fold," said Mrs. Suvalsky, "1 feel very pessimistic. Mrs. Selwyn Suvalsky, daughter-in-law to Mra. Saul Suvalsky,said, "Because there is no labbi, it is a p to parents to revitalize Judaism for their children.^ The Selwyn Suvalskys have three children, a daughter in college and two high schoolaged sons. "My children like Council Bluffs," the younger, Mrs. Suvalsky said. "When they were younger, we asked them if they wanted to join a synagogue in Omaha .and they said no. We keep Judaism in the home by keeping Kosher, celebrtamgthe holidays and the Sabbath." Mrs. Suvalsky feels Judaism in Council Bluffs will never die out, but a member of an «ven younger generation disagrees with her. Doug Krasne, 17, feels Jewish life in Council Bluffs only has another 10 years or so of "The only contact I have with Judaism is daring the holidays," he said. ''We don*t have a rabbi, so there are few synagogue activities. "I was in A.Z.A. in Omaha for two years, I was even a vice president, but I didn't have a driver's license a t the time and couldn't make all the meetings, so I quit." The greatest problem facing Jewish life in Council Bluffs is the tendency for young people to work in other cities after college graduation. "Because of the career I have in mind, chemical en-, gineering, I doubt if I would ever live in/Council Bluffs," said Doug. There just aren't any career opportunities." Mrs, Telpner sums up the rather pessimistic view of the, Council Blulfs Jews when she said, "Unless we get a rabbi, unless the Jewish people can attend a synagogue with some sort of spiritual adviser, I fear for the future of the Jewish people in this town."

'Our Generation Has So Much fo Do/' By, RABBI MYER S. KRIPKE Beth El Synagogue, Omaha — D e s p i t e the varied activities 4n the Jewish community, we must still ask whether Jewish life advances or retreats. A retreat, frenzied and excited, may display much activity but no order, much motion but no design. I am afraid that Jewish life in our American community is still in crisis. It has not yet been able'to clarify its rationale; it still has not yet succeeded in rearing a generation of even modestly knowledgeable Jews; it has not withstood the avalanche that sweeps away Jewish observance; it has not yet staunched the outflow of our energies through defection in our ranks, whether through blunt denial or blank indifference. ' Yet (here are laymen and Jewish professionals alike, on the pulpit, and in the school, and In Jewish institutions, who devote lifetimes of thought and energy to the concerns of the com- Rabbi Kripke munity. And the vitality of the Jewish community has not yet ebbed away. The last decades of the century may determine the course of Jewish life in America for a long, long time. Involvement with Israel's struggle will not be enough to sustain Jewish life here, nor will any other single aspect of Jewish activity! The structure of Jewish life here—Synagogues and organizations and institutions alike—will require shoring up on sound foundationsof self-knowl-. edge and commitment, else the entire structure will suffer collapse. The odd thing is that Judaism here is at the mercy of:— Jews! Nothing prevents the build-up of a strong and vital Judaism except:—Jews! Adult Jewish Education would flourish exceot for the sparse attendance of:—Jews! Synagogues would be full except-for the absence of:—Jews! Has any people robbed itself more unscrupulously, more conf sistently? Or more unscrupulously, more consistently robbed its children, bequeathing only cash, securities, and property? Our generation has so much to do! Can we afford to squander our energies on anything other than Jewish learning and doing? And what better time, to bethink ourselves and bestir ourselves than when the Shofar calls us to our tasks: • There is an old device of rearranging the letters which number out the New Year. The New Year is 5731—Tashla. But if we alter them only slightly. 5731 may be TIshal—which means Ask! Thou Shalt Ask! It is fine then to ask the right questions. The right answers begin with concern, with questioning.. . . and the. Tight questions and beginnings of answers will lead us to a New Year of fulfillment and achievement. May we all be blessed with weJI-being through the New Year and all the years.

A Firm Commitment Essential in Coming Year
By RABBI MORTON J. WALDMAN Tifthereth Israel Synagogue, Lincoln ROSH HASHANAH In recent years it has been fashionable for the detractors of Wednesday, September 30 religion to maintain that religion no longer serves a primary role First Service: 6:30 p.m. in supporting and maintaining the moral fabric of society. Afler Second Service: 8:30 p.m. all, the basic ethical virtues have been adopted by society and * Thursday, October I have become an integral part of our civilization Morning Service: 10 a.m. without any dependence upon the teachings of a ' Youth Service: 3 p.m. Creator or God. The role of moral teacher has SHABBAS SIIUVAII been assumed by the family unit, the educational Friday, October 2 system, and the v a r i o u s organizations that Sabbath Services: 8:15 p.m. abound in our lives. But I'm afraid that the facts of reality belie Saturday, October 3 this contention. We are living in* a lime when Sabbath Services: 11 a.m. morality is considered relative, when even the MEMORIAL SERVICE advocates of ethical living are basing their conSunday, October 4 Temple Israel Cemetery: 2 victions, on opinion, when even religious groups Rabbi feel they can no longer condemn certain "unp.m. Waldman natural" actions as befng absolutely wrong. And YOM KIPPUR t^ a result of this type of thinking, we are seeing the permissive* .Friday Evening, October 9 ness, the lack of discipline, the. absence of clear objectives and First Service: 6:30 p.m. purpose In the lives of people around us. Second Service: 8:30 p.m. Therefore, I would propose to you, that the need for a,firm Saturday Morning, October 10 Continuing throughout t h e commitment to Judaism, to God, Torah, and Israel, is not only necessary, but essential and crucial in the coming years. Juda-. day: 10 a.m. isni—a way of life and philosophy that is so bound up in moral Youth Service: 1:30 p.m. and ethical teachings, a Torah that offers guidelines and suggesAfternoon Service: 3 p.m. tions as to what is right and wrong in individual and group behavior—must act as a counterbalance to the prevailing moral asmosphere of our -society.

Rosh Hashanoh Quiz Box Question: Why was the Rosh Hashanah holiday season declared to be a time of judgment? • Answer: The symbol of the Zodiac for the month of Tishri (the Rosh Ilashanah month) is the figure of balance represented by scales. It is for this reason that medieval appropriate time for judging the human race on the "scales" of judgment. Also, the Midrash tells us the first man, Adam, was born, sinned and judged on the first da/of Tishri (the date for Rosh Hashanah) and was told just as he had stood in judgment before the Almighty on that day so will all his descendants do likewise. Majmonides claimed that the Almighty chose this period because it would be one most advantageous to the people *who perform many virtuous deeds duripg this period because of the many festival rites that occur at this time. It is also stated that this was the season of the fall harvest and that man would have more time to devote himself to thinking about the Almighty after he had gathered his crops. Also, it should be noted that in the time of Moses the second set of commandments was given at Sinai on the tenth of this month. Giving the second set of commandments was an act of pardon on the part of the Almighty for the Jewish people who had sinned and .for whom Moses, had sought forgiveness during his second ascent on Mount Sinai at this time of year. Question: Why do many people observe the custom of wearing white clothes on Rosh Hashanah? • Answer: The source for this practice seems to be traced to the Jerusalem Talmud (Tractate, Rosh Hashanah 1;3) which states that while other peoples wear black duping their judgment, period, not belgn certain of their late, the Jewish peoplo wear white as a sign of confidence that the Almighty will forgive them beacuse of their prayer, charity and penance. Wearing white is a symbol of purity and, is also symbolic of the garb of the angels.. Jews, when they are forgiven, are said to simulate the angels in their behavior. There are some who regard the white garb as symbolic of the white shrouds of the dead. In this sense the white clothing reminds man bf the limitations on his life and the temporary existence he leads, thus encouraging him to repent tils sins and be forgiven.

Des ffloines Federation Director's Message
To By SANDOR SHERMAN Executive Director Des Moines Jewish Federation I have nothing against .the war on poverty. Nor do I think the fight for pollution control is something bad. There probably js a great deal of merit, too, in the Women's liberation movement, changing of existing abortion laws and a host of other burning issues that face our generation. But please . . . let's not confuse our obligations to the State of Israel and our local Jewish community with these issues. I'm not saying that clearing up A m e r i c a ' s rivers and streams is not important. I am saying that as Jews, we have
a sacred duty to make sure that Israel is strong. And that means financial backing as well as personal commitment to see her through this ominous crisis. We have another responsibility within our local Jewish commuilies . . . to work, to serve, to be spokesman, to cooperate, to criticize (if that's your bag) t) but above all to be active in some way,_ in' any number of organizations that are available to keep the Jewish community strong, viable, healthy, responsive and alert to changing times. Some of these efforts, by the way, may very well be the possibility of concerted activi-

This Is no time to be diverted from our most important responsibility. As Jews and as Americans we have a noble cause to pursue. A strong Israel means a flourishing community at home.

New and urgent d e m a n d s k face Canadian Jewry in the decade ahead, despite a record of" significant achievement during the past year. Reviewing achievements affecting Canada's 300,000 J e w s , Michael Solomon writes in an article prepared for the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, that in a rapidly changing world, the Canadian Jewish institutions seem from afar to enjoy a remarkable stability. But he adds: "At closer examination, it appears that under the majestic calm of the facades, the Jewish establishment is battered by Wave after wave of new and urgent demands. "The solid foundations of Jewish•• achieve-, ments are threatened from outside, challenged . from inside, r and so m a n y new problems a r e cropping u p . e v e r y day that old problems not yet solved have to be shelved in order to cope with the kaleidoscopical .succession of events." A distinguished Canadian Jewish leader, Saul Hayes, Q. C , echoes this view. - •««• Mr. Hayes, recently awarded an honorary Doctor of Law degree lor services to; the Montreal society in his capacity as executive vicepresident of tHe Canadian Jewish Congress, summarized the problems affecting the ,future J e w - . insh generation. . , "We can't expect a Jewish community being separated from the rest of society," says Mr.
Hayes. . "Old and young are'disenchanted with the so-called rewards of a democratic state where together with affluence there Is so much poverty, so many slums, and so much incompetence in the educational institutions. "All these add up to a terrible indictment and will remain in the Jewish and non-Jewish community as a disaffected branch of society. "Until there is evidence of. fundamental and monumental changes, Canada of 1970 and the Jewish community will not only fcce the same problems a s during the previous decades, but the problems will be intensified because of the larger ratio of youth per thousand of population." Meanwhile the Canadian Jewish Congress, reaching the crest of half a century of service to Canadian Jewry, continues a s ah effective voice fn working for the common good." Samuel Bronfman C.C. (Companion of "Canada), honorary president of the Congress and the Nestor of Jewish public life In Canada for more than 40 years, listed some of the achievements of the congress. Among these are:"•' "'_. Improvement in the immigration laws; lcgis : lation to combat racial hatred; efforts to end discrimination in employment and accommodation; better education for Jewish children; Federal and Provincial BUI of Rights guaranteeing the right of the individual. <• •. , . •',.'...

The Sabbath custom bids the Jewish mother on Friday evening to kindle the Sabbath lights. It is symbolic of the Jewish woman's influence on her own home, and through it upon larger circles. She is the inspirer of a pure, chaste family life, whose hallowing influences are incalculable. To her the Talmudic sentence applies: "It is woman alone through' whom God's blessings are vouchsafed to a house."

lt Jewish Life Is to Survive With Integrity and Honor. . .' (Continued from Page 18) Secondly, Jewish Life in the 70's will find its character shaped In great degree by our redefinition of the role of our institutions, the synagogue included, of course. Is the individual to serve the institution and its vested interests or the other way found? Will fund raising be our major-function in relation to our institutions?. Or will our institutions so serve us, so meet our personal needs that we contribute gladly to their support as we would to our own family? I' spoke of "Future-Shock," referring to the atomic speed with which our lives change socially, morally, politically and scientifically. It is more than we can do "to handle adjustment to what is much less than what will be. How shall we do it? Where shall we find the strength, the certainty, the support? Anyone familiar with Jewish History stands in perpetual wonder before the variety of Jewish life-styles and the flexibility of Jewish life through ages of historical, political and moral change. How did our people acquire the strength, the certainty, the support that kept us alive? What was it that gave the individual Jew that towering sense of.his worth as a person, his pride in superiority as a Jew even when wholesale forces were intent to degrade him? What made the institutions of Jewish life so effectively serve the young and the old, the sick and well, in joy and in sorrow? Jewish life in the 70's will be shaped no{ by quick, easy answers but rather by the search for them. We need new self awareness as Jews, deeper appreciation of our past In order to meet our present and future. , ,• It's a New Year to be sure, but just one, we pray, of many we shall greet as life goes on. And that life will not be enhanced by wanton disregard for our traditions, cavalier dismissal of our heritage, demolition of bur institutions, or the abandonment of loyalty for family and faith . . . all in the name of "change" and "new morality" and "universalism," and an open-mlndedness that allows every happenstance draft to sweep through without resistance of thought or firm conviction. Rather let us hope we can engage in a sound and careful discovery, of what we are and what we can be by learning what we were and what we aspired to become. And let us determine willfully and deliberately what we want life in the 70's to be, study for it, work for it, live it. May our future be a blessing, not a problem, a New Year "sealed for good."

Tiferef li Israel Lincoln
By RABBI IBVIN S. EJHHJCH ' Congregation B'liai Jeshiirun, Lincoln What will Jewish Life in the 70's be?-To me, this seems to ROSII IIASIIONA be the wrong way to approach the question. We should ask: Wednesday, September 30 "What should Jewish life in the 70's he"!" Our task is to examine Evening Service: 0 p.m. the problems a'nd issues before us; to determine the 'should,' Thursday, October 1 and to make the 'should' the 'will'. That is, Morning Service: 8:30 a.m. make our Jewish life reflect what we as Jews Jr. Congregation.' 10:45. a.m currently believe. This is not the same as letting Evening Service: 6 p.m. things happen—and then adopting our Jewish life Friday, October 2 to suit existing conditions. Morning Service: 8:30 a.m,The concerns with which we must deal are Jr. Congregation: 10:45 a.m. many; to study these issues, with an eye to makVOM KIPPUR ing intelligent decisions regarding them, is not Friday, October 9 an easy task. But study we must. We must probe Kol Nidre: 0:30 p.m. and explore, this is tlk Jewish way. : Saturday, October 10 What are some of the pressing problems that Morning Service: 8:30 a.m. we should examine, for which we must seek soluYiskor Service: 11 a.m. tions? First, the probletas Involving our youth. Ehrllch Mincha: 4:15 p.m. There Is much alienation, what are the causes? Are we at fault, Neilah: 6 p.m. or does the blame lie entirely with the young people? There is Tek lah, Shofar: 7:20 p.m. . so tnuch rebellton. Are the causes far which youth are figbting valid? If go, what can we do to help them; If not, how can we demonstrate that their causes are wrong? Another problem is environmental pollution. Possibly you say, this is not a Jewish problem. Perhaps it is not a problem for Jews alone, but it is a Jewish problem nonetheless. The rabbis of the Talmud wen» aware of the sources of pollution when they stated, ROSII IIASHONA "No dirt comes from heaven;" and Eliezer Halevy, writing about Wednesday, September 30 1350, declared,-J'Sickness and poverty are found in foul dwellEvening Service: 8:00 p.m. ings." •••••.;• .

Each of these statements shows the antiquity of Jewish conMorning Service: 10:30 a.m. cern with this problem, and both of them indirectly point to the YOM KIPPUR simplified solution: clean things up. As Jews then, we must do Friday, October 9 our part in the fight against pollution, this is not an action sepaKol Nidre: 8 p.m. rate from our Jewishness. it is a part of life as a Jew. What are Saturday, October 10 the solutions? Let us seek them before it is too late. Morning Service: 10:30 a.m. We should also concern ourselves with Jewish worship.

The First Question What influence has Jewish Heritage had on jour life; what does it mean to you today and what do you expect it to mean jn the years ahead?
The Answers Doug Krasne, Omaha "Very little. It seems that today there is very little being done by the older people to teach us our heritage, and so we know little about it." Pam Fox, Omaha "The Jewish heritage which I have heard about for about 16 years now is my life. The The e f f e c t is almost incomprehensible; who knows what I would be like if I had not been brought up Jewish. I had not given much thought to my religion (I just took it for granted that God was God) until one of my good friends told me that I should be praying to Jesus. I should be indebted to her for life. Now I have realized ' how lucky I am to be Jewish. I have religion and would not abandon it for anything. There is much talk today about inter-faith dating. I am all for it. I want my children to be as lucky as I am to be a Jew. "I would not marry out of my faith, but as a Junior in a multi-faith high school and multifaith world,- it is extremely difficult not to make friends with Christian people. I am proud of my Jewish heritage, and I plan to keep it alive in the world." Sandy Weiss, Omaha "Judaism has had a great influence on my life. It has made me care about the importance of living the life of a Jew. In this way I yearn to know everything about anything in Judaism. Maybe I won't pay heed to its laws, etc., but I'd still be aware of them and be able to. figure thenvout for myself. I feel that the more laws of the Torah practiced today will lay the path -for. others to follow in the future to keep Judaism alive." • Gary M. GaUner, Council Bluffs , "This question is very difficult for me to answer. First of all, when I think about what influence Jewish heritage has had in my life, my first desire is to say next to none. However, the more thought I give to the question the more '. trivial things I can think of that by themselves mean very little—but when all added together, they add up to what makes a Jew proud of his heritage. * "For instance, being one of the only Jews in my school I find myself very proud when we are discussing something concerning the Jewish-people, and I know I "might be able to add just a little, bit more to the discussion that otherwise might not have been said. Today,, when a person 6peaks of a Jew, he generally thinks of an intelligent, upper-class person. lie also may think of the Jews as being a little tight with their money. ' This is clearly understandable, though, as t h e . Jews have had to work a little bit harder to earn their money. "Many can remember when they had to be tight or they might not get their next meal. Then, when you consider that most of the older Jews in America today arrived with nothing, I think they deserve lot of respect for earning their place in today's society. In the years to come I hope my religion will be even more mean-
The
ingful to me. I think a good religion should help you plan your present as well as your-future. I can't really say what I expect my Jewish heritage to mean to me in the future, but if it can help me lead that part of my life as well as it has helped me in guiding my life of today, then it won't really matter what I'll expect, because I'll know my religious heritage will have been a huge factor in the success of my life." Hollle Cooper, Omaha "Judaism's influence on my life has a great deal to do with my feelings, my awareness, and the goals I have set to guide and enlighten my path. It means I have something stronger in me, than just mcSomfcone who is there to give the needed pushes and encouragement that aid me in my decisions and attitude toward things around me/ In the years ahead I hope never to lose my golden Someone and that I will be able to pass on my faith to my children and theirs." Heidi Telpner, Council Bluffs "My Jewish heritage has so far set moral standards before me, which I nave been sup* posed to follow.'I was taught these rules by my . parents and teachers and until a year or two ago had more or less accepted them without bothering to understand why I followed them, what purpose they served, and why I followed them; what purpose they service, and why they were written. "I am now questioning their value in today's society, though I may not know in what areas they apply; putting them to use is a problem. In years ahead it will continue to give me a strong feeling of pride in the struggles of my people, but as to how my heritage will govern my life— I cannot say now." ' Alan Stoler, President, Kadimah SYO, Beth Israel, Omaha "Jews have always been' able to survive against many terrible hardships and troubles. Our Jewish Heritage should at least prove to every Jew that we can succeed no matter how tough or terrible the problem. \ "By learning about our ancestors,^ we are able to appreciate how the Jews have overcome difficulties that many thought were in«urmontable. "The perserverance shown by the Jewish people should be a symbol for all mankind. I will try. and remember the struggles of the Jews of Egypt, Germany, and Israel as I encounter any major obstacle. "The accomplishments of the Jewish people through the centuries can serve as a guiding light for any one. Onevreason why we should b» proud to be Jews—Our Heritage!" ' Ann Berenson, Omaha "I'm very proud of my heritage as a Jew. I live by many of the ways our people lived long ago. Our history is very real and parts of it are terrific. If there is any way I can help a-few I " will do all I can. I will also help any one no matter what religion they are. Through religion you are able to find a greater meaning in life." (Continued on Page 34)

Doug Krasne "I am proud of Israel and as a Jew I do feel a responsibility jto the Jewish state. I feel that we should help them economically and morally by our support of their policies over here." Pam Fox " l a m a Jew. I was taught Israel is my homeland as a Jew. I am also against war, no matter . what type—if someone gets hurt or killed, then I will do anything I can to stop the murdering. From what I have read and from what I'was taught about the current situation in Israel, I have to sympathize with Israel. I want Israel on the map for all of the Jews in the entire world. "In this spirit I am responsible to the Jewish state. I would never join the Israeli army as I cannot kill a human being, but I would do everything I could to preserve Israel. When I give to the Israel Emergency Fund, I always wonder to what use my money is going. I just pray that my ... money did not go to kill anyone—directly or indirectly. Arabs have just as much right to live as do the people of Israel. I am a Jew, though, and I am going to see to it that my fellow Jews have a safe place to live In peace." ' ; Heidi Telpner "As a Jew, I feel a bond between the Jews In . Israel and myself. I feel a s much a part of Israel as I do' my family. 1 have a responsibility toward m i s s t a t e , h o t only as a Jew, but as a • fiuman being, and I cannot sit and seo my fellow human beings stepped on and judged unfairly. I
way I feel a responsibility toward Israel a s . a Jewish state." Alan Stoler ' "The continued existence of Israel Is a necessity for Jews all over the world. Every Jewish person has a spiritual and moral obligation to keep Israel a true and living symbol of the Jew* ish people. Israel has fought a constant battle to remain a free, Jewish state. It is up to us to con* tinue to help Israel survive. Jews have always had to fight to keep a separate identity and way of life. "At this time, Israel Is our identity. Israel also symbolizes a hope for the future. We all have a direct, definite repsonsibility to the free Jewish state. Israel js our living symbol." Gary GaUner "I believe that the Jewish people should look to Israel with great hope and also a great sens* of pride in knowing that we, too, have a homeland. Our state of Israel Is .one of the few thing* left that1 the Jews can look to and with pride say "Israel belongs to* me." •- Y "My feelings toward Israel go much deeper than this, though.

Sandy Weiss "My attitude toward Israel is one of Jove and respect for those who made Israel a nation.

length and type of services would be a good start. More synagogue religious services and other synagogue events will, have to be able to interest the youth. If we, as teenagers, do not take an interest in trying to change some aspects of our synagogue now, will there still be synar gogues in fifteen years?" . Pain Fox • "The synagogue is becoming outmoded. I was taught that the synagogue was built as a place of meeting; among other things. Today with the "J-West" in Omaha, the Jewish youth h a s , a place to meet, to have fun, and to think with all Jewish youth no matter if they are Reform, Conservative or Orthodox Jews. Still, the synagogue is useful. It is a great place for a family to go (even if it is only^our to five times a year) together. ~ :••*'. "The only change I would propose is not in the synagogue, but in the services themselves, I find it difficult to pray sincerely while concentrating on reading the printed words in the prayer book. The only parts of the service I »truly enjoy are the silent prayers, and the sermon. Prayer is an individual pleasure. It can bo done anywhere and any time, not just when the prayer book says "to rise." Ann Berenson "The synagogues' are doing a fair job. I can talk only, of mine. I am taught Hebrew from the third through, the eighth grades. From then on I go to Hebrew High where we discuss' today's problems in the world and our history. Yet, we talk little,on Israel t o d a y and tomorrow. We should discuss this also. We should also discuss our customs. Why do we use two candles on the Sabbath, instead of one or ten? Or why do the men wear Taliot and what does each tassle mean? I'm sure there are more important customs but I've never known them to be mentioned?' Sandy Weiss "Synagogues are performing meaningful functions but not completely meeting the needs . of the young people. ,( . "I think that synagogues that I k n o w of should have an adequate teaching program to keep the young interested instead of having them count the days till they graduate from "Hebrew School." I feel that if more young people, were enthused enough about their heritage we would. have more need for a Yeshiva type school for these people to attend. "The only way these people can get and stay
- interested is by having more seminar type classes so they can find out what they want to know at the moment and need to go to higher authorities for more explanation. Maybe this isn't for everyone, but it got me Interested .enough to go back to a Hebrew class a f t e r quitting." Gary Gallner "I don't think anyone can really answer the question of whether or not the synagogues are performing meaningful functions. I believe this to be r a reajtive thing. First of all, in my opinion, : if a religion is to be worthwhile it should be able to tell you: 1. Who you are, and 2. What your purpose there is. "Also, for a religion to be fully worthwhile Jt should also help a person in guiding his life and understanding his future. If one can ask himself these questions, and honestly, believe he can answer them, then for this person the functions of the synagogue have been fruitful, and meaningful. "I think most people will agree that the youth of today seems to be drifting away from the synagogue and the Jewish religion itself . . . In today's ever-changing world it seems that the religious ' institutions have never changed along with it. , "The Jewish religion is basically a fine and meaningful one, but unfortunately, the methods of presenting it to the young have long been outmoded. Fortunately, these problems are being discovered and there have been many innovations made to appeal to the youth. For instance, young groups are wonderful—they mix fun with learning, all in an atmosphere of religion. We nee3 more innovations such as these, to bring the Jews back to the synagogue . . . " ; '. . Hollle Cooper •' "I can only talk of Beth El Synagogue, for that is the one I know more about. The variety of functions are definitely coming to an understanding with its younger people. They bring both the congregation to the pulpit and the pulpit to the people. You can sense the needs for assistance and the action to take. Yes, times are changing and the functions of the synagogue are becoming more relevant, and I'd only recommend that we take more action to help mankind everywhere." '(Continued on Page 34)

Hollle Cooper "Yes, I feel very close to Israel and to its! people who are struggling for survival! That is why I have kept up with the news, gave freely to Philanthropies and have expressed my opinion on some Israeli matters.

Although most observant Jews do not like to hear that the synagogue will have to change, the truth cannot btf • avoided. "If the customs, traditions arid attitudes of a tynaoguo do not appeal to a large number, of people,-the synagogue may have trouble operating.

Sometimes it is difficult for the parents of these kids to realize what youth really wants. The benefits are manifold.

I am a non-voting member on my synagogue board and through discussion of synagogue activities and functions I have gained a great deal of experience. "If other synagogues do not have their young members represented on the synagogue board, they are doing youth a great disservice. Both the young and;the older board members will learn from each other, and gain a better understanding when they discuss synagogue, problems and activities together. "The main benefit derived by young people'g participation on Jewish boards is that our opinions and comments can bo heard and discussed.

"The young.people should be represented on Jewish boards for the main purpose of getting a young person's view. If a program was to be for the young people, I feel the young should have some say hi it. Not many wouid be needed but enough so that the board will get a good Idea of what the Jewish youth want." Sandy Weiss "Sure young people should be represented on Jewish boards. This would get new,, young and fresh ideas into discussions. By having young people on the boards more young people will "join in theTCBvities andiearn something, be* sides having a place to go and something to do. This also gets these young people involved to help plan for the future, because these same people will soon be the adults on the same •boards." ' • . • ' . • • V • Doug Gallner "For a long time I have believed that the Jewish youth should be represented on the board of the various Jewish organizations. After all, who knows more what is needed for the youth than the youth itself? . . . If the youth's .ideas $re, reasonable why shouldn't they be heard? Schools and colleges believe they should be heardr-at least to an extent that is why we hav«L_ student councils . . . If responsible youths were placed on the boards of organizations this might bring about one more giant step in not only "bridging" the generation gap, but bridging the gap. between youth and the synagogue." Hollie Cooper "I think young people should be allowed to sit on Jewish; Boards, for they are expressing opinions and questions by looking at things from a different viewpoint. I'm not saying we've seen the light, but we look at things as teenagers, with new ideas, not as older people who are set In their ways. Who knows? If we all work together, young and old, black and white, Indian and American, we may find the answer to SHALOM L'CHAYIM,;PEACE TQ LIFE!" •• •:•'.• •;, '{Continued on Page 34) > , ., '

New Direcfions Toward Hew Goals Jewish Priorities for the Seventies By Rabbi Isaac Nadoff Beth Israel Synagogue, Omaha We are living in a time of vast and rapid change. The furious pace and quality of the change taking place leave us astounded. The decade of the sixties opened for us entirely new vistas, unlike anything man has ever before experienced. We have witnessed a transformation of radical proportions not only in science and technology, but also in human p | | § | | | i l | | | I | relations and social standards. And it is a ccr- f g p ^ " ^ $ E | l tainty that the seventies will bring • about even W _JSg|i greater revolutionary changes which will sharply l*feJ8^WKH alter the image of mankind. Judaism is not immune to the radical changes taking place in our world. Never before has, Judaism been confronted by a more critical situation. It is becoming more and more apparent that Judaism is facing a crisis of un-precedented proportions resulting in large scale defections from the Jewish ranks.. Its relevance is being Nadoff challenged while conformity to the majority nonJewish culture is leading to large scale assimilation. The quality of Jewish life is being progressively .watered down and Judaism is becoming fragmented and detached from life until it is now a mere skeleton of its former self. We must move in a new direction towards new goals. We most re-examine our Jewish priorities for the seventies. A new emphasis must lead to a rc-constructcd Jewish life. Three areas require our immediate and urgent concern: 1. The trend toward inter-marriage must be halted. We must come to grips with this problem. Our life must be so intensified and enriched in Jewish quality that attraction to a member of. another faith is not placed above all other values. We must transmit to a younger generation, through the example of our lives, an understanding that even love, powerful an emotion though it is, cannot supplant a committment to Judaism. The failure, of marriages between faiths is best illustrated by its high rate of dissolution, far exceeding that of marriages within the same faith. The wide gulf between the partners, in their ideals and life style makes this inevitable. Apart from the unhappiness and disillusionment experienced by the partners to such a marriage, the .effect upon Judaism is disastrous. Judaism cannot endure much longer the devastating effects 'of inter-marriage. The tide must be stemmed, and it can be stemmed, by— ; 2. Intensification of Jewish education. The future of American Jewry is identical with the future; of American Jewish education. There is no possibility of preserving, Judaism without a recognition of the supremacy of Torah in Jewish life. Committment to Jewish values cannot come without knowledge. Learning is indispensable to Jewish living. Jewish education, while it deals largely with children, is not child's play. First priority, therefore, must be given to the intensification of Jewish education by community leaders. Without it, Jewish life in America will continue in its declining trend.', -:. 3. A revival of Jewish practice and-observance! to synagogue'"" -and home, must be undertaken by every Individual- We -cannot fail to be aware that until the synagogoe is fined to capacity each Sabbath, and until Jewish observance fn the home becomes our normal and natural pattern, Judaism will not flourish. Our tendency to seek a Judaism with a minimum of responsibilities must be replaced by our readiness to give of ourselves for its preservation. A religion which demands nothing is worth nothing and a people who sacrifice nothing merit nothing. We cannot ask that our children accept that which we reject. Our struggle for Jewish identity cannot be successful in a life devoid of Jewish content. . ' In this decisive decade it is for us to decide whether we shall go down In history ps Jews who are unable to preserve Judaism, or whether we shall be remembered as a generation which knew how to accomplish the task of preserving and enriching bur heritage. The decade of the seventies asks of us nothing less than our reconversion to the Jewish faith.

Youth Answers Questions Question 1 Randy Kardon, Des Moines, President AZA Understanding and applying my Jewish heritage has entered my everyday considerations. I am d i s a p p o i n t e d , though, that I have not obtained enough knowledge of Judaic heritage, and my background in Jewish history is very lacking. I suppose a lot of the blame rests on my shoulders, but honestly, as I look back to the years of Sunday school and confirmation class I can clearly see that I was not motivated in any way. "I feel that religious education needs to take a hint from public e d u c a t i o n . Religious ; schools all too often lack the ' sense of "applicability" that general education offers. Youth will respond to that which captivates or has future foreseeable relevance. Jewish customs and heritage are being ^-lost under the brilliance of-the ; general world of education which is presented in such an exciting, manner." Question 2 Bandy Kardon i "I realize the deep concern for Israel as the cradle of not only the Jewish religion, but also as the foundation of the Jewish community. The need of any people for a functioning homeland community is not to be underestimated: Personally, however, this is one of
many matters in which no one man's opinion can stand above another's. To each Jus own as long-as it is really iUownv Randy Kardon sees Israel as a stimulus -for motivation , but not an end in itself." . Spencer Brookstein, Omaha "I feel I do have a responsibility toward Israel. Israel is my security blanket. If a Jew had no where to go, if his counr try banned him, he could turn to Israel for help. Israel is a security blanket for the Jewish people of the world. It is the responsibility of all Jews to keep Israel, alive. For without Israel some day tliere may be no place on this earth for a Jew to go." Question 3 Randy Kardon "As far as youth, representation in Jewish boards is concerned, there is really nothing to argue about. As Jewish youth, we constitute a major part of the community. In fact, we are the community's future. As members on a board, the problems of the community are made crystal clear; cfcisequenlly, a giant step is taken in our understanding of the Jewish community. It is as simple as that. "Just remember .that under all that long hair; ttiere'is still someone who care's.' Have a Healthful. T and • Happy New Year." -> ; - - - . - :
BEST Vi for a Happy and Healthy New Year • .
Spencer Brooksleln , "Young people should be represented on Jewish Boards, fhe younth of Omaha care about problems that concern the Jewish community. We have answers to problems that past generations have not had. If the youth were represented on Jewish Boards they could give the view of the young people, it would make the youth a more distinct part of the Jewish community. I feel that a representative of the youth should participate and vote on the Federation Board. We have new ideas, and we are- concerned. I have one question to ask; of the Federation, What harm could it cause?" Question 4 Randy Kardon "At the present time most synagogues have no direct influence upon the youth of today. When I come to services I am looking more for somellung I can grasp that has meaning. All too often the Hebrew prayers I recite have no meaning to me and frequently, they register a big nothing in my mind. Once in a .while I even end up looking at the pictures in the p r a y e r b p o k . Unfortunately prayerbpoks have no: pictures; I don't like coming to a service to hear the rabbi regurgitate some boring and meaningless sermon which I cannot relate to. And anyway, I'd rather sleep at home than in the synagogue. "What I am trying to say is that we definitely need our traditions, but at the same time we should make an effort to add creativity to our services. Originality and creativity incorporated in our services will give them much more meaning to young people,"

The past year has seen the organization of small groups of students seeking to apply their radicalism in a Jewish framework. Their journals attack the Jewish Establishment, and they have demonstrated actively at Jewish conferences to demand more adult concern and practical'help for young Jews. EASTEIt.N EUROPE Elsewhere in Eastern Europe the position has been more satisfactory. Forecasts of antiJewish show-trials in Czechoslovakia have not been realized while the extremes of Poland's anti-Semitic ^campaign have been considerably moderated with the departure of many of Poland's Jews.

7e/np/e /srae/s First 100 Years ... and a Look Ahead By Silvia Hoffman « One hundred years ago, eleven men founded Temple Is-' rael in Omaha—the first Jewish congregation in this part of the country. The year 1971 will mark the Temple's Centennial, and will bring a series of festivities and events to celebrate this significant birthday. ~ . To observe the occasion, plans are underway to bring nationally-prominent J e w i s h leaders to Omaha to partici• pate. Attention will be focused on the ways Reform Judaism has kept pace with a changing world whUe affirming and preserving the basic heritage and theology of Judaism. 'Plans for the observance resembles a two-way mirror: First—Looking ahead to the 70's and 80's to ascertain what direction Temple should go in serving Us membership and community, and Second—Looking • through a "rear-view mirror" to_ observe how the history of Temple Israel has been an integral part of the growth of Omaha and : its Jewry.
' Mrs. Ramon Somberg is in charge of compiling the Centennial Book which wili correlate the past, present and future of the congregation. When she asked me to help, I couldn't say "yes" fast enough. To me, happiness is digging through piles of microfilmed manuscripts and faded photos! One of the most interesting aspects of working on this history is to discover how the early leaders seem to come alive through their accounts of the day-in, day-out struggle to keep a small congregation viable. I think there is a tendency to endow our forefathers with personalities as stiff as their starched shirts and as frozen as their photographs. So it is fun to read the truly humorous incidents that happened in their dealings with fellow members, rabbis and townspeople. . It is exciting to Susie Somberg and me to see references to an early member who was a very well-known Indian trader . . . to look at a photograph

of lovely young Sunday school teachers at a picnic and to realize that several are grandmothers of our friends . . . to read the fatherly advice from Isaac Mayer Wise in a letter to a 15-year old who wonted to become a rabbi. In 1008 the Park Avenue buildiug was dedicated. At that time, the Omaha Bee published a long story on the hisUory of the congregation. In part, the summation said this: "The history of the congregation of Israel is the history of many a religious organiza-' tion in the growing west. "It reflects as few organizations can the ups and downs of life in a developing country. The early existence . ' . . was similar in its struggles to the history of all movements battling to gain a foothold in a community w h e r e resources are still rather meager and of a more or less" temporary and uncertain nature . . . In the latter 70*s . . . it also reflected that period in the growth of the city when business and social conditions began to assume a fixed and certain form. "Still' later, w . it reflected the period in the life of this city when permanence and stability was the dominant idea." And now, as Temple Israel prepares to enter its second hundred years, it faces new problems, new challenges, and new.^oncerns which it will seek to meet in the years ahead with the same determination and dedication displayed by those early founders. • .

Soviet Union (Continued from Page 32) U.N. international pacts which she herself approved, was embarrassed by the collective Jewish demands for emigration to Israel, but could not charge the signatories to these demands with committing antiSoviet illegal acts. Small breakthrough Thus, the Jewish year past was marked by a very important turn in the strategy of Soviet Jews to secure emigration. For the first time since Hie Six-Day War the Soviet authorities had to pay attention to Jewish applications for emigration visas. In fact, a s m a l l breakthrough did come during the year in granting Soviet Jews permission to leave the country for Israel. It is estimated that 80,000 Jews have applied so far for such permits. The number is insignificant. It is a mere trickle. It may reach a total of 100 or more in certain montiis, However, important is the fact that the Soviet authorities have begun to recognize as legal Die move by Soviet Jews to seek emigration to Israel—even now, when no diplomatic relations exist between Moscow and Jerusalem. The breakthrough is there. How long it will last nobody can tell. Nor can one tell whether this may lead, to Soviet permission of emigration of Jews from the country on a larger scale. From my talks in Moscow, I can only say there seems to be a mood among some in the Kremlin not to stand in the way of those Jews in the Soviet Union who wish to join relatives in Israel. If the Arab-Israeli war is ever settled, thtat.mood may assume practical form. ••-••'•
Quotations Ptncbai jSapir, finance minister of Israel: - "Our'history—whether far in the past or recent, with its ups and downs—is interwoven in our feelings and thoughts, and thereby influences the deeds of every one of us. "Every Jewish holiday is an occasion for taking account oE not only as to what happened 'in those.days at this time,' but also during our own lifetime— and moreover, where we stand today and where, we. Intend to s t a n d i nt h e f u t u r e . " • " • ' , .

Community relations in the next decade By Harold Adler, Regional ADL Director When I was first asked to write an article which would try to predict what community relations issues will face the Jewish community in 1980, I must admit that I was apprehensive. If I have learned one thing, it is that only a fool will try to predict what will happen next month, let alone in ten years. Then I remembered what a rabbi once told me about a speech he was recently asked to make. The topic was what will Judaism be like in 1980? He told me that this was an easy speech to make. "After all," he said, "who will remember what I have said ten years from.now? If they ask me to predict what will happen next year, then I'm in trouble." What follows are some of the issues currently on our agenda with my predictions for the year 1980: Israel The Middle East will be relatively quiet, but there nffl be no real peace. The hatred of Israel by the Arab nations is too intense, has been too deeply ingrained into the social, i > ligious educational and political life to be eradicated is a short period of time. I believe that we will see a diifting of political power within each of the Arab nations. At the same time, a new generation of leaders will assume control of Israel who will be Sabra's, much younger than the current leadership. It is too soon to deter-
mine if they will take the hawk or dove approach. Israel shall survive. Christian-Jewish Relations C u r r e n t sensitivity within Christian denominations about anti-Semitism will continue as textbooks are revised, offensive passages in the New Testament will either be revised or will be de-emphasized, seminaries will have courses on JndaismOld Tesjment-Jewish philosophy-etc., colleges and universities will have departments of Judaic Studies which will attract many non-Jewish students. All this wiU lead to a better understanding and will be climaxed by a thorough revision of the Oberammergau Passion Play to eliminate all references which could lead to the fostering of anti-Semitism. We will see more and more changes being made at the insistence of the various Christian denominations who will take this task as being one of their responsibilities. Anti-Semitism fat America Carrent programs and tliose anticipated by the churches will certainly be helpful is eliminating some of the root causes of anti-Semitism. By 1980, we will have concluded a p r o g r a m aimed at making the public schools assume their-share of responsibility in eliminating the opportunities for anti-Semitism to grow in the tninds of our young people- The VS. Government win have to assume a much larger role to protect Israel and this may lead to con-

which will give fuel to the anti-Semites. More and more executive suites will be opened up to Jews, housing discrimination and just possibly social club discrimination might possibly no longer exist. Unfortunately, . we will always have with us the insecure, psychologically disturbed individual who cannot cope with the problems of a modern civilization and who will, in looking for an easy answer, blame the Jews. This has. been true throughout history and is not likely to change during the next ten years. Race .Relations We Save made a great deal of progress during the past ten years in recognizing the problems faced by Negroes and other minority groups in America and we have started to develop programs to assist them in achieving equality and justice. We still have a long way to go. The Jewish community will ' become more deeply involved ' in trying to solve the blackwhite problem as we realize that we-"are a part of the problem and must be part of the solution." Programs will be directed towards changing the prejudicial attitudes that exist in the Jewish communities and I look for the leadership of the Federations to be among those who will take the initiative to set an example to our community. Jewish Community Relations Agencies: During the next ten years there will be much pressure upon the national agencies to effect some term ot merger as the cost of eperating the various agencies will coallnue to increase. We should see that some reduction.in the t o t a l amount of iunds needed will xesultfrom a merger. However, this m e r g e r can only come about if laymen are willing to compromise.
Church—State New methods of funding both private and public schools will be found. These new methods will come'about, not because of the parochial school issue, but because people will become even more disenchanted with the caliber of education that the public schools are giving. It will be necessary for the government to develop a sense of competition for the educational dollar between p u b l i c and private schools via the free enterprise systems.' One plan, the Educational Voucher Act, is already being tested. This program will be of benefit to parochial schools and will,meet al lconstiUitional tests. Unfortunately, the-public schools will be weakened and-we might be witnessing the decline of this type of public education as we have, known it and which has served us well. Extremism We will continue to have the
extremists of the Left and Rifiht who will exist simply becauss they will not be able to copa with the advances that our society will make, for good or bad. These people will seek to return to Uie "good old days" when everything was easy and simple. . I do not believe that we will continue to have the violent forms of protest simply because we will not allow it to continue. Jewish Federations Federations will raise m»ro and jnore mosey, not only for overseas purposes, but for local services. We will have to make iup losses from United Community Services as they will only make grants to programs that affect low. income persons. Federations will also go into housing programs for the elderly, counseling programs for J e w i s h youth, increased support for Jewish education, both formal and informal.

A Spiritual Examination Let Us Survey Our fteacth (Continued from Page 18) . or. are we hedonistic—eat, drink and be merry for the worm is going to "pot." • ,• What Is the condition of our spiritual eyes? Are we color scious by prejudice—jaundiced with envy—quickly reddened by anger and rage? Do we have insight into our own character-our vices and virtues-our foibles and talents? Can we see some good in. every person—the worth of people and the beauty and worlliwhileness of life? How does our coordination function? Do we have spiritual aims and goals? And do these direct our lives so that there is a coordinated purpose in our living or do we drift aimlessly through empty hours, wasted days, turbulent nights and unfulfilled years? Do we coordinate our hearts, our eyes and our functions so that we truly live spiritual healthy Jewish lives filled with 'Yiddishkeit" or must we, alas, proclaim in the words of Uie author of Kohelet—"vanity of vanities, all is vanity." It is related that a heathen once asked a Rabbi, "The God you believe in Is supposed to be omniscient—all knowing; if so, why is it that in the story of the Garden of Eden, your God asked Adam when he was in hidjng, "Ayekah-where art thou? Should He not have known? What kind of a God is He?" _._ The Rabbi answered, "Of course, my friend. God knew Adam's whereabouts—the query of God was, Adam, "Ayekah do you know where you are? Adam, where have you been—wjiat have you done—what has caused you to be ashamed and in hiding?" The eminent theologian, Martin Bubcr, wrote, "God asks this very same question of every person—"Where art thou?" He is asking this question of you and me—now. Where do you stand in life? Where are you heading? What are your goals and values? What are your ambitions, aspirations, and drives? What are your thoughts and feelings, your acts and your associations? To use the phrase of Bartin Buber—is there an I—Thou relationship? Are you a person of faith and courage or are you plagued with doubt and turbulence? This brief life span of yours— Jias it meaning, purpose and goal? Where art thou? This is the question that God asks of us and which we must ask of ourselves In our soul-searching and spiritual stock taking during these holiest of days. As we make out our list of request* we would ask of God let us seek to give the correct answer tp God's question so that we will merit to be Inscribed In the Book of Life, Peace and Contentment.

Love is the secret at Dr. Sher Home (Continued from Page 6) well if they see the others treated well," said Orkow. "I treat each case separately and kindly, and they react the same way. Everybody watches everybody else; there is sort oi a clubship about it." Death, a looming factor )n any home for the aged, does not seem to worry the people, Orkow said. "The people are not afraid of death, but they don't want to die," he said. "Let's not fool - ourselves, no one wants to die. The people want to live, but not with pain.. "Whsrt sonwone' dies easily: they \&y, 'It should happen to ine.' An easy death is a blessing." He* added, "They.also pity senility and hope it never happens to them. They wish to die before senility sets in." Senility is a must, Orkow said, and it happens to every•body.
•
,
"Senility a f f e c t s different people at different ages, but it happens to all of us if we live to it." Happy Moments Too Death and senility do not occupy the minds of Orkow and the residents, however. There are many light and happy moments, too. "We've had some love relationslups here. No marriages yet," said Orkow. "In Israel, they encourage elderly people in homes for the aged to marry." A rabbi comes each week to talk with the people. The dis-, cussions do not center on religion, but run the gamut from., current political events to sex. The residents get into some lively discussions, Orkow said. Most are very keen on current events and avidly read newspapers, watch television and listen to the radio. "Mr: Green will come into my office to talk about a news occurance I don't even know about because I haven't had the lime to read about it," he paid. How does * somebody like David Orkow get involved with the aged? "I never wanted to be with the aged," he answered, "I studied medicine, was offered a position to run a home for the aged like this in New York and I didn't want i t "
Although Orkow completed medical "school he never took state medical boards because he didn't want to practice. He wanted to travel, and that he did extensively during the war. ' Future Difficulty He worked in Switzerland for a time until he learned he was not allowed to take a position as a hospital director there because he was not a Swiss citizen. He then worked for the government in emigration in Paris. Munich and New York. While in New York ho took a course from a "wonderful professor" who also ran a home for tho aged. Orkow was so impressed with this man's'work, that when he was offered a job directing the home in Omaha he took it. Orkow knows 4he future will be even more difficult than the present. for the elderly. As medical advances c o n t'i n u e, more .people will survive to old age, and then the country will have problems finding places for them' to live and people to care for them. "Old people are the same as other people; they shouldn't be segregated," said Orkow. "In many cities, a certain percent of residential areas is' alloted to- old people, middle aged people and young famjlies." In this manner children have contact • with old people that they may not otherwise have, and in return, the elderly have a chance to be near children. Because of today's great mobility, many g r a n d p a r e n t grandchildren relationships .are not able to exist due to family separations.-, Qualified Help Needed. The task of finding people qualified to care for the elderly is a difficult one, too. "The qualifications for this work are high and the salaries don't keep up," said Orkow. "A person who works with the aged has to have a strong feeling for these people.-There arc many worries, and you never leave the people, even when you go home." He continued, "You have to do what your mind and heart say is test. There is a conflict in this. Without this conflict you couldn't stay in the work, and with it you suffer." Orkow feels that many young

New Year Greetings
sociologists desiring to work with the aged find the work theoretically w o n d e rful, but not so physically wonderful 1,, "You must be willing to take care of people in their worst condition, to h a n d l e . a case from beginning to end." While Orkow worries about tiie future of the aged, the aged worry, about the future of today's youth. Closer Families Mr.- Kiva Hornstein, 80, a resident of the. home, says, "Things don't look good for the younger generation of Jews. They don't respect elderly people. When I was young, families were closer and there wasmore respect all around. Families today should be closer, too." ' Hornstein, who will be making a trip to Israel this month, added, "Yo'ung people are selfish, all young people are—but then, so are older people." Probably the most important thing to remember in facing the, new generation gap is that everyone must eventually feel the twinges of old age, just as everyone once "encountered the pangs of youth. And as the visitor walks through the halls of the Dr. Philip Sher Home for the Aged, he sees in the lonely wrinkled faces of the senile his very own features.
