Proposed Center Membership Data

Membership Dues Carefully Planned Omaha—"Membership dues in Omaha's new . Jewish Community Center should be within the capability of almost all families in this Jewish Community," Mortimer Greenberg announced recently at a public meeting sponsored by B'nal B'rith. "The projections of membership categories and fees are now being developed," he said, "and s h o u l d be_iormally approved by the Center Committee andthen ratified by the Federation's Executive Committee later this year of early in 1973. These recommendations will flow from careful study of local needs and the experiences of comparable communities across the country." Family Memberships Reporting to the public at the July 27 meeting at Westside High School, the Federation's Executive Director indicated "the current thinking of our committee suggests the basic membership unit in our new center will be the family and it is likely that their annual dues rate will be established at a point between $125 and $150, ; which should be acceptable to the bulk of thisJewish community. As pur Center will-provide varied services for all members of the family," ho noted, "it is reasonable to use the family as the unit for identification with the Center, a practice which is common to cities our size and larger across the country.

"No family will be excluded from membership in the new Center due to financial inability," • Greenberg announced. "It has been agreed that, in keeping with the concept 'It's Everybody's Center,' reduced membership fees will be pro* vlded where appropriate, with sensitive and con* fldentlal handling to be the rule for such situ* atlons." • - : • : , Greenberg reported that current thinking by Center leadership would require membership in the Center in order to participate in any and all of the continuing services which will be offered. . "Not only does the membership fee provide important income for operating the basic program but it serves as a positive means of personal identification with a Jewish service of direct value to the member,' he said. "Membership will permit the participant to enjoy a large number of activities, without additional charge," .the Director continued.-; ' "Membership is an ingredient that all parti/•cipants will ; have in common even though their specific interests may vary; Membership fees will not only be important in financing the dayto-day operation but will give members the dignity of paying their own way and a sense of being a part of this unique Jewish facility," ha said. "Health Club memberships, which really are program service fees for that department, will require Center membership as a prerequisite," Greenberg said. "The-committees have agreed * that each Health Club member will become a Center member first, and then will have tho opportunity to register for his Health Clulwnembership. It is anticipated that these two' fees, Center membership and Health Club, will ap* proximate the costs of the better health clubs In Omaha while still providing other valuable • Center services to all members of the .family,'*'} -lit! ho concluded. < Lv*- i... i !..'.:- .'.. ^•utiii-j.i,..,

Omaha Jewish Day School Plans 'Open Class1 Approach Omaha Jewish Day School planners are developing a unique curriculum for the projected early September opening of the school. Children .will be grouped according to age levels rather than "the traditional grade • level"' approach, said John l Langan, general studies consultant to the Jewish Day School. The school will start out with , only one'grouping of five, six and seven-year-olds. The older 'children will attend school all day, and the younger children will have the option of attending all day or just mornings. ••/•'this will be an upgraded, open primary school with maximum cooperation between secular studies and Jewish studies," said Dr. Michael Rockier, consulting coordinator of the Day School and assistant professor of education at the University of Nebraska at Omaha., Langan, who is also an instructor of elementary education at UNO, said the morning session would consist of structured sessions in Jewish studies and reading, beginning about 9 a.m. and concluding around 11:30 a.m. "In the afternoon there will be a learning center situation where the child can choose •what he wants to get involved in," Langan said. The activities would correlate what the child is learning in Jewish studies and general studies. "For example, in social studies, if they're (the class) talking about the family, the children woiild learn about it with regard to the Jewish family," Langan continued. Children will also be acquiring arithmetic skills during the afternoon learning centers. Rabbi Morris Amster, con. sultant in Jewish studies for the Day School and educational director of Beth Israel Synagogue,, said since children of all three Jewish denominations will be represented, the various viewpoints of Judaism will be taught. "I think we have an excellent-.

program as far as the Hebrew language is concerned," Rabbi Amster said. Hebrew will be taught in the* open school much like English is taught in public schools. "We hope they'll be able to speak some Hebrew by the time the year-is finished," he said. Conversational Hebrew will be emphasized, Rabbi Amster added. Dr. Rockier said the Omaha Jewish Day School anticipates opening its doors around Sept. 1 with "between 12 and 18 children." The school will be located at the Jewish Community Center West, with two rooms being remodeled into the open classroom. The Jewish Federation has donated the facilities as well as $300 for every child enrolled, Rabbi Amster said. Tuition will be $400 for children normally of kindergarten age, and $000 for those, of first grade age. He added that every year a new grade will be added as the children advance in levels. Langan said the children will take weekly progress reports home rather than the traditional report cards four times .a year. Parents interested in enrolling their children In the Jewish Day School should contact Langan, Rabbi Amster or Dr. Rockier.

Shirley ChishoSm Voices Views on Jewish issues • Washington (JTA) - Rep. Shirley C h i s h p l m (D.-N.Y.) wants the" Soviet Union and the U.S. to cease sending arms to the Middle East, and recommends direct Israeli-Arab negotitlons as the only way to settle the conflict. Above all, the only Black woman member of the House of Representatives, continues to Insist that "Palestine" is the "root cause" of the .conflict and that resolving it is essential for "peace and harmony" in the region. - In an interview with the JTA, Mrs. Chisholm declined comment on the strongly pro-Israel plank in the Democratic Party's Middle East platform, specifically the provisions that the U.S. recognize Jerusalem as Israel's, capital, saying that she had not "had a chance to go over the entire platform."-. In what may be a major development in her Mideast outlook — possibly significant in

that she will be campaigning for the Presidential candidate she sought to "deter In the primaries — Mrs. Chisholm said she was accepting an Israeli government invitation to visit Israel before year's end to "see things there for myself." During her Presidential campaign, the former nursery school teacher based her Mideast views on a position paper calling for a UN "guarantee" of the "stability'and territorial integrity" of all States; a "limitation on all arms shipments" to the area; U.S. economic aid to the region's "less-developed . nations:" "full representation for the Palestinians in all negotions concerning the return or compensation'for Palestinian Arab property," qnd "immediate consideration of. the prob-. lem of the lack of status of the several hundred thousand peo-j pie who left Israeli-held territory in 1948 and 1967.", •:•

Asked specifically If she believes Israel should be a "free, independent Jewish State," she replied: "There's never been any doubt in my mind about that," adding: "Mrs. Chisholm has always believed in a Jewish State and has been identified very closely with the Jewish people because she believes in humanity whether it's white, black or pink. I have no time for racial hatred or bigotry, be it in the form of white hatred or black hatred, because all hatred destroys the human individual." •'• On Soviet Jewry, Mrs. Chisholm commented: "Since the Soviet government has indicated a negative policy towards the Jewish people it should let the Jews emigrate to Israeli The Soviet attitude does not put the Jewish people on the same basis as the Russian people. Since the Jewish people have a homeland, they should be allowed to go to Israel. If a person doesn't desire to -have you and there is a possibility to go where you are accepted, why hold onto that individal? It's as simple as that."

Mallon Chair in Biochemistry ? Endowed to Weizmann Institute Des Moines—The Malakoff - Foundation, established by the late J. J. Mallon, will endow a professorial chair in biochemistry at the Weizmann Institute in Rehovot. Announcement of the contribution was, made by Bernard, Mercer, one of the trustees of the foundation. The chair, to be known as the Jules J. Mallon chair in biochemistry, will be formally dedicated in Israel on Oct. .5, 3972. The three foundation trustees plan to attend the ceremonies. In addition to Mr. Mercer, they are Sheldon Karlins, Minneapolis 'attorney and pr. Loren Lair, general ministerconsultant of the Iowa Society of Christian Churches. The foundation was established by Mr. Mallon a few years before his death in honor-of hie father, Samuel Malakoff. In a letter to Sidney Rubin, president of- the, Jewish Welfare Federation, Mr. Mercer explains the reasons for selection of! the" recipient of the $250,000 endowment gift. - "In discharging J h e i r s r e sponsibilities,!1 he writes, "the three Foundation trustees felt a responsibility to dispense the ' trust funds in those areas that they believed would have been' ' important to Mallon. Through. out his adult life. Mallon had a keen interest in Israel, its goals and its problems. In addition, he had a fierce pride in the tradition of the Jewish people. We thought it quite fitting,. therefore, that >a significant portion of the Foundation's fund should, go to Israel. . . "We believe"'that this Rift makes an important contribution to Jewry's goals in Israel,

Friday, An* 11, UTi

FOCUS No Time for Laughter By Rabbi Jacob Hccht ; Several months ago a full-page advertisement appeared in the New York Times showing a group of smiling people, below which was a headline, which said, "So Many Jews Are Wearing 'That Smile' Nowadays." * The advertisement was placed by a bizarre religious sect called "Hebrew Christians" which has accepted Jesus Christ as the Messiah prophesied in the Old Testament. Composed entirely of ex-Jews who have converted to Christianity, these Hebrew Christians are part of a movement which claims (o have a s many as 100,000 members In the United States. An article on this strange sect published in the New York Times about a week before the "Smile" advertisement offered some explanation • of why Jews become Hebrew Christians. Besides giving a brief nistory of this more than 50-yearJ. Hccht old movement, it told the story of Ellen and Ronni Sarett, two sisters who converted to-Christianity as Her brew Christians. Both girls grew up on New York City's West Side in a family they described as "culturally Jewish but almost atheistic." Their only "formal contacts with Judaism had been one or two visits to a Synagogue and some Passover Seders at their grandmother's. Their conversion to Hebrew Christianity came while attending Northeastern University of Boston. Ellen, who was studying religion and philosophy, spent, she said, "two weeks of contemplation and going crazy in her dorm room." She came out feeling "saved" and joined the movement shortly afterward. It would be easy to dismiss Ellen and her sister by saying... they were hippies, or the Jewish equivalent of the "Jesus Saves" movement, or simply traitors to their religion and their race.;Or maybe their defection could be attributed solely to the undoubtedly insidious entrapment by the evangalists of the American Board of Missions to the Jews, whose missionaries for many years have zealously attempted to wean away from Judaism as many Jewish youth and adults as they could. But if we do not pursue the reason why these girls and others have joined the Hebrew Christians, more and more Jews may be tricked into joining this heretical religious sect. %

SOS: SOVIET JEWRY There are. few ways in which Jews in the United States can directly give support to our brothers in the Soviet Union.., Communication by mail, telegraph, and telephone have provided a life-line to Soviet Jews. However, now these means of communication are threatened. The United States and the Soviet Union are both parties to international postal and tele-communication agreements. Nevertheless, letters to Jews in the Soviet Union' are returned undelivered, telephone calls are interrupted or do not go through. Since President Nixon's visit to Russia,, attempts to communicate by telephone to Jews in the Soviet Union have become

New York City (JTA)—Eighteen womenall motliers and sorrle grandmothers—became Bat Mitzvah in a unique ceremony at Temple Israel of Jamaica in Holliswood. In preparation for the ceremony, according to Rabbi Ronald* Millstein, rabbi of the Reform congregation, the 18 women attended a Sisterhood Hebrew School for Wives at the synagogue for a full year.- ' The weekly .sessions were taught by Mrs. Sylvia Feldman, the Temple's regular teacher for Bar Mitzvah and Bat Mitzvah candidates, with the participation of Rabbi Millstein. The 18 women learned to read Hebrew and to understand some of the basic prayers. During the second hour of each weekly session, Rabbi Millstein taught the meaning of prayer and explored with the "students" an entire worship service from the traditional prayerbook. The class members compared the prayers in the Siddur with those in the Union Prayerbook used by Reform congregations; The class participants have varied backgrounds of Jewish experience, Rabbi Millstein said. Some-were raised in reform families and

attended Reform synagogues during the "classical" period of Reform when Hebrew was not taught in Reform Sunday scho'ols. They may have been confirmed but Bat Mitzvah was not offered at that time. Most of the women were raised in Orthodox households where a Jewish and Hebrew education was given only to boys, and a few came from households where they were not given any kind of Jewish upbringing. Rabbi Millstein said.

Shriver. Regarded As Tro Jewish' Washington (JTA) — Sargent Shriver, the Democratic nominee for Vice-President, is regarded by close associates as "as close to 100 per cent proJewish and pro-Israel as you can get," a prominent Jewish organizatonal official told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. The source, who asked that his name be withheld, said that the nominee has been friendly to Jewish causes and on intimate terms with. Jewish leaders in his previous posts as Chicago school board chairman, as first director of the P e a c e -Corps, as director of the Office of Economic Opportunity and as UN Ambassador to France, The official said that as Peace Corps director, Shriver insisted on implementing an -official non-discrimination policy in assignment of P e a c e Corps members - despite criticism from Sen. J. William Fulbright, Senate Foreign Relations committee chairman, who reportedly told Shriver in 1981 that Peace Corps activities in .Arab countries could be imperiled if the Peace Corps sent Jewish members to such countries. Shriver is, chairman of the International Patrons of the Israel'Museum. He is the recipient of the Hannah G. Solomon Award in 1972 of the National Council of Jewish Women and holds honorary degrees from Yeshiva University and the Jewish Theological -Seminary. He is a close friend of Mayor Teddy Kollek of Jerusalem, the informant said,

While many teenagers said they are anxiously awaiting the new Center so "they can have a place to meet," Marc Delman, a June graduate of Westside High, expressed the view that teenagers want more than that from the New Center. Marc looks for the Center to play a vital role in helping teens relate to their Jewish heritage and in its helping to keep that heritage alive in what he feels '% this day of the vanishing Jew." Marc believes that young people are looking for new things. In their search for meaningful lives they are exploring mysticism and the occult. "The Center has a role to play to help young people see the relevancy of Judaism in their new pursuits," Marc said. He feels the Center must.be sensitive to the pressing problems that face today's teen-

-•r

In discussing the importance of sports at a Community Center, Marc would like to see the athletic program be widened, not only to include more activities for girls, but also to stress family participation. According to Marc, "The Center should not be just for Jews. It should be an intercommunity center that would help bridge race and religious gaps. Through the Center, youth and adults, should have an opportunity to become involved in social action—to let people know that Jews do care, and that they have an interest in the community." One_oJ the beautiful aspects of the new center i§ the way all . voices like Marc's, can find expression. Fulfillment awaits Marc Delman those who are. looking for a agers and devise ways to help stimulating class in Judaism; those who want to. pass a few them. For example he suggests rap social hours; those who want sessions between the genera- to e x p l o r e a.new hobby or tions to help bridge the gap those who wantMo attend a rap, that exists within some fami- group concerning a pressing' lies. "The, draft is of great con- social problem.. < ....;.'.'' Opportunities will be .there cern to many," Marc said "and 'J through the Center, boys and for "Everyone."; • their parents should have an opportunity to explore the subject and its alternatives."

New York (JTA)-A $1.5 million gift for cancer research has been made to the Weiz-" mann Institute of Science in Rehovot by Chicago industrialist Arnold R. Meyer. Matched by Israeli government funds, the gift will enable the construction of a cancer study center to be known as the Arnold R. Meyer Cancer Research Institute. Meyer, 55-year-old head of Arnold Meyer and Associates, a financial consulting firm, said he made the gift because "I was most impressed with the quality of the people at the Weizmann I n s t i t u t e , their work, their dedication and progress." He said that "if. there is a .cure-for cancer, it might well result from Weizmann Institute research." Cancer research is presently conducted in four'of Weizmann's departments: g e n e t i c s , cell biology, chemical immunology and biodynamics. . Meyer is a native of Rock

Arnold R. Meyer Island, Illinois and a graduate of St. Ambrose College In Davenport, Iowa, to which he donated the Arnold R. Meyer Student University Building. Ha is a board member of Chicago's Jewish United Fund and a member of the Executive Committee of the Chicago Anti-Defamation League. •

Atlanta Mayor Protests Bigoted Political Ads Atlanta (JTA)—Despite Mayor Sam Massell's appeal this week to local news stations to reject the political advertising of a U.S. Senate candidate'who is an avowed white suprema-, cist, the stations are continuing with the advertising. -•...; The Jewish mayor's office repdrted that the stations, under the advice of their lawyers, have .decided to continue the • spots 'for candidate J.B. Stoner. The complaints department of the Federal Communications Commission has ruled negatively on a petition, filed by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, to stop the Stoner advertisements. Under Section 315 of the Communications Act, it is illegal-to censor a paid political advertisement, the mayor's office explained.- However the mayor contends that Stoner has brok-

en the law by making inflammatory statements which are calculated to incite to riot. Therefore, Section 315 does not apply to him. Stoner's first advertisement ran Aug. 1 over radio station WPLO a n d WSB-TV. Stoner said in part, "I am the only candidate for the U.S. Senate for white people. The main reason why niggers want Integration is that niggers want our white women. I am for law and order." The mayor's office and the. broadcast stations were deluged with phone calls deploring the advertisement, following t h e broadcast. The NAACP is considering further.action in the case, the mayor's office reported. Petitions are being filed with the FCC by the NAACP, various radio* stations and the B'nai B'rith Anti-Defamation League.
