San F r a n c i s c o (JTA) — "American c o l l e g e students have been the chief casualties in Israel's war on hashish," Jonathan Braun wrote from Jerusalem In Rolling Stone, the rock-music bimonthly published here. "Cracking down on dopesmoking Americans who have swelled the rolls of this count r y 's (Israel's) universities ove the past two years,'" he continued, "nervous authorities hope to contain the 'hashish problem" before it spreads to the native student body. The Jerusalem police, Braun continued, "have m a d e a steady practice of harassing freaky-lopking Americans,1' and "penalties for foreginers caught with hash have escalated from immediate" deportation to jail sentences of two to six months followed by deportation'With a warning to'stay away." Hashish in Israel is smuggled from Lebanon and costs only 50 cents a gram,- Braun said. "Some cops and government bureaucrats are firmly convinced that Palestinian com-
mandos have joined with the dope-pushing international New Left in an elaborate conspiracy to destroy every Israeli mind under 30." Braun quoted a New Yorker, who spent two years at Tel Aviv University, dropped out and joined the Army as a supply clerk, as \ a y f i i g / "It's great. They're so positively paranoid about dope that all you have to do to get a low pro-, file on your physical is admit to having smoked hash at one time. That's all. And if you want out totally you just tell them you use the stuff every day."

By RUTH SELIGMAN ISRAEL—These days there seems to be a lot of talk about identity.. Who. are you? What's your relationship to other people? How do people think of you? There'd a lot b e i n g written on a subject which in my college days wasn't even on the midnight bull session agendas. In Israel, interestingly enough, I've got a variety of identities and each one of them represents a different aspect of the culture and life here. The American First of all, even if I live to be a hundred (excuse me, a hundred and twenty), to my neighbors I'll still be the "Americanit" on the block. Twenty years in Israel and I'm still the one everyone comes to for information about the United States, information I probably never knew and'now certainly don't. But I'm expected to be a walking repository of facts and figures relating to my native land—cost of ; living, prices of goods, political positions, cultural activi-' ties, addresses of hotels, locations of stores etc. I'm the "Americanit" who represents the State Department: in my area. In the early days I was not just the American, I was that special person—the new American immigrant—for in those days immigration from the W e s t e r n countries was so limited as to be practically non-existent. In general, when people find out that you're new to the country, they react in one of two ways—either they welcome you with an enthusiasm that sometimes is embarrassing, it's so effusive, or they'll stare and wonderreally what are you doing here? In those days there was quite a bit to do about the "new American" on the block. The welcome mat was continually coming out and the warmth and friendliness of the people made up for the food there wasn't and the dirt there was.

As my children started growing up, my identity underwent a radical change. To both my daughter's friends and practically everyone else, I ^became "Ima shel Debby" — mother of- Deboy, It was said so quickly that it sounded like one word. Even the parents of those friends never knew my name — I was the same imasheldebby.. There is something significant about a society in which the nomenclature for the mother is in terms of her position vis-a-vis her children. It possibly points up to the fact that ours is a childoriented culture. / And, in the natural course of events, in my son's circle I became i m a s h e l y e r m y (Mother of Yermy) and, for t h e youngest, imasheldavid (Mother of David.) For my cleaning woman, however, there are no such dist i n c t i o n s . She calls me "Ruthie"—has from the first moment she e n t e r e d our household. So, incidentally, do most of the secretaries in the various offices when I telephone for appointments. We live in a very informal society, the informality being almost consciously built-in. This instant closeness is typical of the casualncss of the society. It results in the interesting situation that, to many people whom I've either never met or don't know well, I'm "Ruthie." Equalitarianlsm The society is not only in-, formal; it also has a tradition of equalitarianism which is reflected in the interesting fact that in Hebrew, in the language itself, there's no way of d i s t i n g u i s h i n g between a ''Miss" or a "Mrs." We'rte all "geverets" „ (ladies) together; the same word is used to address us all. . We go even one step further, We use our own first names, not those of our husbands. Thus, I'm Mrs. Ruth Seligman everywhere — to the bank, to jmy employers, to the gbvernmentr-to all who need my formal signature. It's refreshing in an age in which

Sidelines I think one of the most difficult jobs in the world would be to write a dictionary. Some words defy definition, exceptby using an example. Yiddish words are particularly difficult to explain, since the tone of voice often determines the meaning, and the same word can frequently mean complete-, ly different things. Take the word "takkah." . Someone tells you something , with which you agree completely. ' f Israel. should get. all the Jets she wants from the United States." You answer firmly "Takkah! (That's absolutely right.) Sometimes a statement is almost too good to be true. ."Russia is going to let all the Jews out this year." ,

"Takkah?" (Is that right?). Add a little tear to the voice and the word has a completely different meaning. "After all she did for him, he ran away with his secretary." , "Takkah." (Isn't that too bad.) Now how would you go about putting that definition in a dictionary? And it's not only Yiddish. There are new phrases used by our kids that are equally difficult to define. Vivian Wilt, writing in the Cleveland Jewish News a few week ago, came up with a dedelightful column on just that subject. This is what she writes: .
before we "opened channels of communication." I'M TALKING ABOUT the word "mishigas," that marvelous, all-inclusive counterpart of "hang-tip" which needs no explanation, amplification, rationale .or defense, particularly when accompanied by a shrug of the shoulders, as in "Your curfew is midnight, call it my little mishigas." Or, "No you can't wear blcached-out jeans to" Aunt Minnie's dinner party, it's just one of my harmless mishigasen." The beauty <f "mishigas" is that you never have to define it to your child, or to anyone else for that matter, including your husband, as in "Why can't we go on a great vacation. • to Ashtabula instead of Hawaii Two'weeks of readjusting to —you know I'm deathly afraid one of the "now" generation of flying—it's my mishigas."

Since its crystallization, the • young " c o n g r e g a n t s " have t continued their search "for t h e modern-day meaning of J u d a i s m . " Reporting on the unique "synagogue," in the c u r r e n t . i s s u e of " R e s p o n s e , " t h e engineer said -"I now find being Jewish a happy experienco r a t h e r t h a n a s t a t e of being. And, along with tho other parents, I a m delighted to find my'children enjoying J u d a i s m a s fully as I d o . " . As a self-admitted assimilated J e w , the engineer reported he had m a d e his way as a child through Hebrew school a n d ' S u n d a y school and the B a r Mitzvah without question, and t h a t his Reform-affiliated parents also "went through tho motions." In college, he decided to "drop tho entire s h a m and proclaim Tnyself a Moral Hum a n Being"." In due t i m e , he m a r r i e d Doris, "another Moral Human Being," and begat Dpyid • and Allan, about whose Moral Character we were concerned."

new rabbi proved to have "the most advanced , easel of Pulpit Mouth I have ever heard." At that point, the engineer and his wife gave up on the whole enterprise and informed David, then 12, and Allen, then 10, that "we considered their formal religious education to have come.to an end." They had learned that after many years of such education, neither son could distinguish between Talmud, and Torah. By the end of the decade, the engineer and his wife, found themselves "searching for kindred, souls." He said "\vc decided to air, our privately-held concerns with another couple" members of the Reform congregation in whose school boys of the two families became acquainted. "Within one hour, the four of us had decided that the time was right to try to develop an 'underground synagogue' that would attempt to meet the religious needs of its people, both young and old." Additional coupler with similar views were found with surprising ease, he reported. . A series of bi-weekly meetings at homes of members followed, with .the topic of each meeting agreed on af the previous gathering. Soon, the bi-weekly meetings became weekly meetings "as the group's enthusiasm burst the structure of a rigid schedule." The i engineer and his wife found themselves talking; more about theirvnew "synagogue" than • anything else and "both of us began to read books related to Judaism and talk about them." He wrote that he could not explain why 3io had not done all this before. "All I know is that during 'the cold months of 1970, in the warm living rooms and company of my fellow Jews, I was horn as a Jew. And I know that nothing that may befall our Unstructured Synagogue will have any effect on my continuing existence as a Jew. No other synagogue can make that claim," , The question of the religious education of the children was forced by the children: The- engineer reported that during the formative stages of the •unstructured synagogue,, his conversations-' with his wife were regularly interrupted by their:'
sons, "asking when they were going to be let in on the—fun.'" Tho other members reported similar pressures from their children, 7 The members then agreed that their, "congregation" had passed its initial hurdles and began to make plans "to develop a positive learning-environment" for the children, who ranged 'in age from four to 15, based on an interchange ,of learning experiences. In areas ''in which we were ignorant, we would learn; adults, in turn, would re-interpret; the learning for their children whenever necessary." , At that point;]coincidence hr ought, in'to*~tfie group a 26-year-old graduate student at th^Reconstructionist Rabbinical College in Philadelphia.

79 72 Omaha Jewish P Men's Division Chairmen Who are the men pictured here? They are people we all know. Husbands, fathers, sons, business and professional men, they are busy people and play many important roles in the community. • They are pictured here because they have agreed to add another responsibility to their busy schedules. These are the men who will head divisions in the 1972 Omaha Jewish Philanthropies Campaign. For every chairman pictured here, there are dozens of other men who will be helping with the 1972 campaign. The chairmen and their workers will be calling on all men in the community soon; asking for increased pledges to meet the 1972 Omaha Philanthropies"goal of $2/200,000.
Donald Nogg -",. Assistant Chairman
And they know all the problems. They know that business is slow; that money is.tight; that the stock market is down; that the cost of living has gone up. Good excuses, but not good enough to justify the alternative. The alternative involves stopping Jewish immigration from Russia to. Israel, because Israel lacks the funds to provide them with h o u s i n g , education and medical services. . x That's what the campaign is all about. Giving Israel the tools to provide for new citizens, and if we, don't do if, it won't get done. That's why these men have agreed to leadership roles in the 1972 campaign. That's why they are makinq time in their busy schedules to call on you. That's why they won't accept excuses of "money is tight this year." Human lives are at stake, and next year may be

. ' , Remember when the gates were ; close in the Soviet Union? We protested, we petitioned, we prayed-rand it worked! Now the gates are opening. Soviet Jewry is on the move. But freedom has its price—$35,000 for a family of four, from the time they receive their visas to leave the Soviet Union, until they are resettled in Israel. Part of that financial responsibility is yours—beccause you are a-Jew. You "can't tell that family of four to stay in Russia because "money is-tight." So when the Philanthropies worker calls on you, save your time and his. Skip the excuses, and by your pledge show that Jews do takecare of their own. There's no, other way. —'—-— ' Alan Nogg Young Executives
