Jewish Education Viewed by Omaha Rabbis By MICKEY GERELICK - Omaha—Defending the quality of their respective synagogue schools, three Omaha rabbis have disputed the assertion made by Harry Kessler that a Jewish Community School is the best means to an effective Jewish education in the future. The director of the Sager Solomon Schecter Day School in' Chicago, Kessler voiced his views during1 a recent trip to Omaha and they were reported in a series of three Jewish Press articles. /, According to Kessler, synagogue schools ;have proven to be ineffective, in the past and he believes the-rising cost of education will render- them financially bankrupt in Jne future'. He sees the Community .Jewish School as the answer to Jewish education-from both a financial and an academic point of view. ' Lamenting the parochial interests of synagogues which prevent the > establishment of community' schools, K e s s l e r
said that a community school could serve the needs of children from all denominations of Judaism, and that philosophical differences could bo handled effectively. He indicated that in a community school all philosophies and «int e r p r e t a-, tions would be discussed. "I be-., lieve strongly that Jews have to learn to live with each other, regardless of the differ^ ences in beliefs," he ' said. "Children should be taught to respect all views." Interviews with the Omaha rabbis last week brought, sharp refutations to Kessler's views about the quality, of education provided by the synagogue schools. The rabbis agreed that Omaha's synagogue s c h o o l s were doing a good job "within the limitations of time alloted to Jewish education." ; Stronger r e a c t i o n s were voiced by the Omaha rabbis to Kessler's suggestions that community schools provided the only viable answer for effective Jewish education.

young, enthusiastic t e a c h e r , concentrates on teaching-key phrases in Hebrew, using arts and crafts, playing games and singing songs' in order to identify with'Jewish symbols, values, and customs. Familiarization through play is the basis for the program. Plans for the coming year, include the • i t through 15 year olds. An experimental program with a new approach including weekend retreats, participation in Jewish - content summer, camps, and the regular framework of the Bureau school is be-
ing initiated. This program is / being developed in detail and is scheduled to begin in September. The pre-school program includes plans for expansion in content as well as methods. A bold new program of learning Jewish values in a Hebrew-Israeli atmosphere will be stress- • ed and the ability of children of v thls age to imitate will We utilized.

News Around the World Security Measures Tested AMSTERDAM (JTA)-According to freelance journalist Hans Hoffman, Israel periodically tests the effectiveness of European security measures against' Arab terrorism by asking Europeans to "smuggle" weapons into their respective countries. In a feature article last week in the leftwing daily, Het Vrye Volk", Hoffmann said that an unloaded gun which Israeli security men : asked him to smuggle into Holland was immediately detected at Amsterdam Airport by 'Dutch police. , His "revelations" have been severly criticized by certain Dutch official? who say.he violated the pledge of secrecy given, to the Israelis. ;
Olympic Case Closed - Bonn (JTA)—The Bonn government declared last week that the case of the massacre of 11 Israeli Olympic athletes by Arab terrorists in Munich last Sept. 5 was officially closed. - The announcement was " made following pub* lication of the'Public Prosecutor's report which found no fault with either the police measures taken or the security provided for the Israeli team. The Public Prosecutor said he closed the case .against the authorities responsible for directing the police action at Fuerstenfeldbruck military airport where nine of the 11 Israeli hostages were murdered after German sharp-shooters failed to effect their release. • • . The report said the Bavarian police had acted "within the framework of their duties',' and that it could not be ruled out that the'Israeli team members and the German police officer killed would still have lost their lives if other police measures had been taken. The. report said the security measures for the Israeli team were considered adequate and that no extra precautions had been demanded by the Israelis.

Tel Aviv (JTA)—Four hundred workers at the Nesher1 cement plant near Haifa stopped loading cement on F e b . 15 to support their man^ agement's demand to be allowed to quarry another section of Mount Carmel, a proposal which ' has spurred heated protests from ecologists in Israel. • .

Prayers for Iraqi Jews , Montreal (JTA)—More than 500 persons attending a community prayer rally here last week demanded that the Iraqi government reveal the fate of nine Jews imprisoned in Baghdad last ' fall who are believed to. have been executed recently. The Canadian Jewish Congress, whose Eastern Region sponsored the rally at the SpanishPortuguese Synagogue, has asked the Iraqi authorities to give the prisoners a /air trial if they L are alive or, if they are dead, to return their bodies for burial according to Jewish ritual. ; The participants in the rally recited prayers for Jews in mortal danger in Iraq and other Arab countries and kaddish for- those believed executed. -.-'-•• '

Questions andAnswers About Key'73 in Omaha By Howard,We'insleio Director, Omaha CRC WHAT IS KEY '73? "Key 73" is the designation for .the current evangelical Christian Crusade. This effort, financed and ascribed to by 130 Christian groups, is an effort to "call the continent to Christ in 1973." WHAT TECHNIQUES ARE PLANNED FOR KEY 73? Among the techniques planned are a neighborhood census, door-lo-door evangelizing, bible distribution, revival meetings and mass meeting campaigns. • ARE ALL CHRISTIAN EVANGELICAL EFFORTS PART OF THE KEY 73 CAMPAIGN? No. We need to distinguish between activities that result from Key 7 3 and other evangelical efforts that are traditional part of ' the commitment of many Christian churches. ARE ALL CHRISTIAN CnURCHES IN OMAHA PARTICIPATING IN KEY 73? NO. Many ministerial alliances and individual churches do not plan to participate in the movement. <* ' ARE JEWS THE MAIN TARGETS OF KEY 73? No, Most of Key 73 efforts will be in the direction of reach". ing "the unchurched" Christians. While Jews are seen a s potential converts, the main purpose of Key is not to convert Jews. However, Key 73 will be, used by Jews for Jesus Movement and other proselytizing groups to spread their version of Christianity —which is by no means free of anti-Jewish undertones. IS PROSELYTIZING LEGAL? Yes. The first amendment to the Bill of Rights says that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." This amendment has been basicTto the freedom of religion enjoyed by Jews in America and certainly applies to proselytizing by Christian Evangelicals. ARE THERE LIMITS TO THE PROSELYTIZING ACTIVITY? " : • : • • . . • . , ..• • - • • • Yes. Proselytizing activity cannot take place in public facilities such as public schools with the support of the institution. While there is nothing that can prevent an individual student from discussing conversion at a cafeteria table, the school may not in any way support this effort. : WHAT CAN OMAHA JEWS DO ABOUT KEY 73? A. Do not over react. If you receive a flyer or mailing at your home, please forward it to the CRC office, 537 Securities Building, Omaha, Neb. < '' B. Do not invite evangelical speakers to meetings held under Jewish auspices. This merely gives them a platform that they would not have otherwise. : , ','., ;. C. If approached by an evangelist do not debate or argue. Experience has indicated that this is a fruitless exercise. • " •. D. Be cool! If an evangelist comes to your door, respond politely but firmly, "No thanks, I am not interested!" IS KEY 7 3 ANTI-SEMITIC? ; While -Jews need to be vigilant in regard to possible anti-Se, milic incidents, there is no evidence that Key 7 3 is anti-Semitic. WHAT DOES THE COMMUNITY RELATIONS. COMMITTEE OF THE OMAHA JEWISH FEDERATION PLAN TO DO ABOUT KEY 73? The JCRC is committed to preventing abuses that could re- suit from this campaign and activities. We are especially interested in activity involving the public schools such as religious assemblies or the use of school facilities by religious groups. Complaints of overzealous evangelical approaches to Jews are also within our specific area of-concern, as is anything that ' t'oWd be interpreted as anti-Semitic. Anyone knowing of any «abus,es5resulUng from Key 7 3 or any other evangelical activity should call CRC at 341-3575. If it appears Jewish young people are haying problems handling aspects of the Key 73 or other evangelical campaigns, we working with other Jewish organizations in the city, develop a program to assist them in handling the problems. The CRC has made contact and will continue a dialogue with Protestant and Catholic leaders about Key 73, so that we may be informed abefut' current developments. We will disseminate this information within the Jewish community so that myths, halftruths, or rumors con be ferreted out to enable our Jewish response to be based on an objective evaluation of the facts. If you have any additional questions about Key 73 call the JCRC office at 341-3575.

Clerics Rap Soviets For^GinceSling Trip Washington (JTA) — T e n American Catholic; Protestant, Black and Jewish leaders have charged the Sovigt government with' blocking their nine-day tour of the Soviet Union which was to have begun this week. Rep. Robert F . Drinan (D.Ma.ss.) said that Intourist, the Soviet Union's officfal travel a g e n c y , 'had confirmed the group's hotel reservations Jan. 24 but cancelled them on Feb. 2. The'trip's"-purpose' was "To express the friendship and solidarity of the churches of the United States for the three millionJe^s," in'the Soviet Union, .Drinan said. He said the "retraction" of the visas by the Soviet government cannot be "explained e x cept by the fear which the Kremlin has that he world may discover that the Soviet government is telling Soviet Jews that they may peither practice their religion nor migrate to Israel.",

By JQEL TELPNER In this modern world, the Jewish youth population is very small compared to the youth of other religions. Our Jewish traditions ^re slowly slipping away into the past as we conform to the modern world. • During the second World . War, anti-Semitism in the United States was very high. A young Jew :was constantly re-" minded-of his religious background. Today, things are different. As Je-nrs, we are being more and more accepted' into American society. As a result, . we think less and less about our Jewish background. God put Jews on the earth to remind all -men that there is only one God; It is our duty as ;Jewish youth to continue our duty-to God. Associating with
otheit Jews is one of the best ways to carry out this duty. I i|^ceive great personal satisfaction when I walk into a roonii filled with other Jews. By working together' as a grouj), much can be accomplished. We need Jewish youth groups to keep our faith together. It is necessary to let other people know that you are a J(iw. Make yourself stand out in a crowd. Working and being with other Jews can make this possible. As a group, Jewish youth should make their actions known throughout the community. Let other people in the community .know who we are and What We believe: Be part of the picture. Join a Jewish youth group today!
Who Needs Who? By CINDY RUBACK We came, sang a few songs, and shoutedJTchaim'.' over Hawaiian punch. One and a half houis later, we left. Everyone promised, to: come back. I wonder liow many will keep their promise.'. . , ' , - - • , On Sunday, February 18, Ner Tamid BBG visited the Dr. Sher Home. It was the first time for many of us. I wonder how many will keep their promise . . . We were far from being professionals. They weren't particular; they wanted young people, and we fit the description. We wanted—I'm not sure. I don't think we expected anything. Yet, Ner Tamid was given much more than we gave of oar-' selves. • . . • . ' ' Why? Because a generation gap exists. It has to! But people are wrong when what they conceive of a 'generation gap* is that it causes the inability to communicate. In truth, this inability to communicate causes a gap—be it between generations, or sexes, or religions. , .;,: . YOUTH hasn't figured this out. The residents of the Dr. Sher Home have. They want so much to understand us, and for us to understand their needs, too. ; We're being taken .advantage'of," aren't we? We are being . asked to give a few minutes of our precious time to some very wonderful and wise people, or rather, individuals. And who reaps the benefits? In more familiar terms, we all need somebody to lean on. Your reply can be, "You just call on me, brother, if you need a hand." We all need somebody to lean on. ,

A good exercise program will assure you of much lower fatigue levels and can have a . beneficial bearing on respiratory ailments such as asthma, hay fever, .and related allergies.
