Officially the Omaha observance began in September, 1972, when the Torch of Independence was" brought here from Israel and presented to .the Omaha Jewish Federation and c o m m u n i t y leadership. The Torch is on permanent display during this year at the Jewish Community Center and is available for use at all events and observances honoring the 25th anniversary. During the period following the official presentation of the Torch, and up to the present time, a variety of celebration observances have taken place in the Omaha Jewish community. They have included the Beth Israel Art Fair, a "You and Israel" pay, the Silver Anniversary tour to Israel for Older Adults, the Israel Bond Style Show, Jewish Cultural Committee lectures, classes
and musical revue ''To Live Another Summer." Also presented as organization observances have been book reviews of Israeli-related books by Rabbi Isaac Nadoff for Kalah Franklin Chapter of Mizrachl and Rabbi Myer S. Kripke for the Omaha Chapter of Hadassah. The Omaha Calendar of Events for .the remainder of the year of celebration has been announced by Mrs. Philip Grad and Mrs. Morris C.

ENGAGEMENT IN JERUSALEM I thought you would like to hear what a religious engagement party is like in Israel, (that is, the engagement of Sally Simon, daughter of Erv and Miriam Simon of Omaha, to • Barry Gold). Erv and Miriam Simon were here. There was to be a "Tnoiro," but it turned out to be a nice dinner at the most re"ligious restaurant in Jerusalem on Sunday evening, January 27 at'7 p.m. • The* large room was divided • by curtains. Barry "Baruch" Gold was in the large part with about 30 Rabbis and fellow students of the Yeshiva which he attends. Sally, her mother, Netta Kripke, Julie Nadoff, myself and about 12 girl friends were in the other section. Three cousins of Barry's from Netanya represented .his family and they gave Sally a -beautiful gift.

This Is also an excellent time for the adult, community of Omaha to join with other Jews of voting age across the country in lobbying for Congressional action.

A Question of Unity
,;,,. .. ' ByKENJFISIIBAIN, . ' ,'jXi initiate this column, I would like to call upon the Jewish youth of Omaha to unite. I feel it is time to organize Jewish • youth and stop the fierce competition between the youth groups. If united, we could accomplish great things. To help unite Omaha Jewish youth, I propose that the Youth Council be restructured. Many have questioned the purpose of Youth Council. I feel that its main function is to plan events which would involve all Jewish teens including those not affiliated with a youth chapter. It should also keep in close contact with the Jewish youth in neighboring cities such as the recent inter-center weekend. , :. ' A secondary function of Youth Council should be to decide on a calendar for the month so that the functions of different * groups would not conflict. I will explain how the calendar should 'Operate at the next Youth Council meeting-which will be held -Tuesday night, February 20, 7 p.m. at the J-Wcst. I encourage - all Jewish teens, affiliated or non-affiliated, to attend this meetIng. It Is mandatory for every Youth cliapter to send representatives to all Youth Council meetings. Chapter advisers are also welcome to attend. At the Tuesday night meeting, Youth Council ' co-chairmen will be elected;1 one girl and-one boy will be choseii, and anyone is'eligible to run. , . .

Another major objection was that the synagogue opposed "extravagant social events," adding that "the social aspects of Bar/Bat Mitzvah in our congregation will be. modest and low key." The program is optional while confirmation is compulsory. Currently, there are 52 pupils in grades five, six and seven of the synagogue religious school preparing for Bar or Bat Mitzvah, Rabbi Rothschild said.

'[• 'The Soviet position "hardened" in 1972 when more than 30,000 Jews left the USSR for •Israel, for two reasons, Rosenthai said. • ' . . ' One is "the official Soviet judgment that extensive emigration of Jews will cause unrest among other Soviet minorities and serve to strengthen Israel.". The other is the conviction that President Nixon can easily control the political forces in the United States to !: prevent the issue of Soviet .Jews from interfering with ; trade and other "detente" de; velopments. ' Rosenthal said that h e did not believe the Soviets will try to eliminate emigration but rather to limit the exit of high, ly educated Jews.

JDL Spokesman Warns of 'New Wave of Violence' - New York (JTA)—A Jewish Defense League Spokesman has accused the "American Jewish Establishment" of "unbelievable lack of vision" in fighting the Soviet Union over the ed-' ucation tax imposed on Jewish emigrants and warned that "a new wave of violence" would soon break out against Soviet premises and personnel in the U.S. David Fisch, JDL executive director, claimed in a statement here that he recent publication in Moscow of the education tax law and its attendant regulations was an indication that the Soviet authorities have no intention of rescinding the measure. He warned that "a new wave of violence against the Soviets is on the brink of eruption as more and more young Jews are becoming frustrated to' t h e point of desperation." Charging t h a t "throughout the decades Jewish establishment, groups have proven themselves incapable of responding to the crises facing world Jewry," Fisch listed what he called "recent JDL-related developments" apparently as examples of how to deal with the Russians. These included 10 JDL mcm, bers handcuffing themselves to the Soviet Mission building in New York Dec. 26; ,a sit-in at the' UN Secretaries" building.
Jan. 5; disruption of a party at the Soviet Embassy in Washington Dec. 24; an invasion of the Soviet Embassy in Ottawa Jan. 22; and the shattering of a plate glass door of the Soviet Mission in New York Jan 2. Fisch said that if young Jews felt such acts were insufficient to move the Soviets "I dread to consider what they m a y do next."
Ebon's African Trip Postponed Jerusalem (JTA)—The African trip which Foreign Minister Abba Eban planned to make next month has b e e n postponed until May or June.

Eban's itinerary has not been finalized but it will reportedly include about 10 countries of both East and West Africa. Tjie only country definitely on the list is Gabon which has officially Invited the Israeli Foreign Minister. .
