Rve Iraqi lews Murdered New York (JTA)—Some 1000 Hasidic Jews stormed the police station in Borough Park, Brooklyn to ask for more police protection alter two Hasidim were beaten "for kicks" by two assailants wielding ^wo-byfours. The victims, wearing traditional Hasidic garb, were identified as David Denbltzer, 38, and Herschel Mossberg, 22, both residents in the Hasidic community in Borough Park. Taken to Maimonides Hospital 'after the attack Denbitzer was said to be in fair condition and Klossberg was treated for cuts and bruises and released: Police reported that the two Hasidim were attacked "for kicks" by Joseph Vellecco, 22, and Joseph All, 22, both of Brooklyn. They were booked for possession of d a n g e r o u s weapons and felonious assault. The protest at the police sta-' Uon came as word of the attack swept like wildfire through the Hasidic community arousing fear, resentment and anger.
Jerusalem (JTA) — Foreign Minister Abba Eban told the Knesset that the Israeli government has confirmed the recent murder of a family -of five Iraqi Jews. He said, the Kashkosh family—Reuven, his wife, his daughter and two sons, were brutally murdered in broad daylight and that the blame rested squarely with the Iraqi government. Eban gave no other details. The Knesset approved a resolution, calling on the Israeli govirngient and world opinion to work for the emigration of Jews from Iraq. Eban noted that there were fewer than 400 Jews remaining in Iraq when, in Sept. 1972, the Iraqi authorities suddenly ended their p o l i c y of allowing Jews to quietly emigrate in small numbers. Since then, he said 16 Iraqi Jews have disappeared.

HOMER'S RECORD STORE
Jerusalem (JTA)—President Zalman Sliazar, in one of his last official acts before leaving office, has issued a pardon to Israel Brand, one of two yeshiva-students sentenced to prison terms last year for firebombing the Eros shop, a Tel Aviv emporium selling sexually oriented literature and sex aids. Brand was sentenced to 18 months imprisonment by a Tel Ayiv magistrate and was due to be released this July. His companion, Shmuel Weisenstein, was sentenced to one year and was released two months ago. The arrests of the two raised a furore in Orthodox circles which felt that the youths were justified in bombing an establishment they considered to be profaning the .city.

Does Ethnicity Become AntiSemitism? Jews who said that the humor was great. Yet, the stereotypic representation of Jewish women, loud-mouthed, stupid and bovine; the mockery of the wedding ceremony and reception, and the overt anti-Semitic behavior of Eddie Albert made the movie repugnant to at least the several Jews I talked with But never was this really brought out and examined by any of the local reviewers. Elliot Gould's "The Long Goodbye" is another example of overdone stereotyping. In this case the gangster was Jewish. Once again, several rituals of Jewish life, particularly circumcision, - with the proper inclusion of the word "mohel," were used as a basis for a loosely woven plot. The gangster's Mogen David was always in full view. There were constant-references that business and money were keeping him from temple. And a sadism toward women rarely seen on the screen, produced an image of an unsavory person who_.was Jewish. ~ The topic of the negative por.trayal of Jews has been dealt with by Jews and nbn-Jews alike. It has been the topic of j several recent articles1 In national Jewish publications. The community .should be aware that the controversy is not merely a response to a TV series such as "Bridget Loves Bernie" but is-reflected in asophisticated look at the entire entertainment field.

By Howard Weinstein Director Omaha Jewish Federation Community Relations Committee Omaha—A great deal of public press has been devoted to debating whether Omaha will or will not allow the showing of the "X" rated movie "Last Tango in Paris." The Nebraska State Legislature is considering bills to ban all "X" rated movies from the- state. The Italian-Americans are still boycotting "The Godfather." Little discussion, however, is taking place in the Jewish community about several recent motion pictures that have "defamed" (to pnt it mildly) Jewish people and Ideals. "The Heartbreak Kid'' was touted by one and all as "the movie to see" and won much critical acclaim. It was highly recommended to Jews by non-

Omaha—Can a young couple with two small children find happiness in advising and guiding Jewish teenagers in social, sporting and group activities? "Most definitely," says Ellie Gordman who, with her husband Bob, is actively involved in the B'nai Birth Youth Organization. "Although our own children, aged 6 and 4, are too young to be members of BBYO, we are enjoying the feeling of satisfaction we gain by working with the youngsters and watching them grow and mature." As Ellie Zelinsfcy, Mrs. Gordman was active in J e w i s h youth groups in nigh School as was her husband. But it was an article In the Jewish Press about two years ago which stressed the need of adult involvement in BBYO that on'ce again sparked her interest in the movement. BBYO is a service oriented organization which serves Jewish Youth in the U.S., Canada and several foreign countries with cultural, social, religious HELEN A. BERNSTEIN 393-fttt

and sporting programs. In Omaha there are three AZA chapters for boys and three BBG chapters for girls. "We have discussed starting co-ed groups h e r e i n Omaha," Ellie said, "but the girls prefer having a segregated group. They feel thai they have a better chance to develop leadership roles and independence this way. I really think that BBYO allows our youth to develop leadership potential, and this is one of its most important functions." Ellie finds that she gives about ten hours of her time each month to BBYO. "This includes the bi-monthly meetings, telephone calls and special events which involve active adult help such as conventions, dances etp." BBYO needs interested men and women like the Gordmans to join the program in two capacities. Advisors are needed on a fairly regular basis. But more importantly, helpers are needed to participate in one or two programs a year to supplement the fulltime staff and chapter advisors. • Interested adults could coach a sports team or act as umpire; teach songs and dance; give vocational talks; direct dramatics; help in programming; be a check point leader
for the annual Walk for Israel; secretarial work; and many other avenues of creativity. "While BBYO does occasionally conflict with the Synagogue Youth Groups, in programming and timing, it does offer an opportunity for youth of different affiliations to get together, and provides an alternative to those who feel alienated from synagogues and Hebrew schools to remain in the Jewish fold," Ellie commented. "This month BBYO Is making an all-out effort to recruit adult volunteers for our programs," said Ellie, "I hope that there will be a big response so that others will be able to gain the satisfaction of achievement which Bob and I feel in our work with Omaha teenagers."

Open Letter About Awards I would like to voice my unhappiness concerning the meiit award I received for my participation in the 1972 United Jewish Appeal Campaign. I felt an obligation to my fellow Jews, those in Israel and the Diaspora, and I wanted to identify and help not only with money but with personal involvement. I did so not for the purpose of receiving any commendation and I wish that the money spent to purchase my award could have been used in a manner which would directly benefit Israel or the Des Moines Jewish community. I hope this feeling will be considered when this year's campaign is completed, and when thoughts of "awards" are contemplated. • I feel sufficiently rewarded that the youth are learning of our religion, or problems, and our beauties. Please afford me the pleasure of serving as I wish without an unnecessary plaque. Charna Axclrod Co-chairman, Adult Advisers to Youth Campaign

ART INTERPRETATIONS
there was no lack of communication between Artist and Critic, after J[oe spent a brief hour previewing" the ,works Bede has selected for the Omaha audience. '
This Milwaukee-born artist is the mother of three sons aged 28,21 and 18. She is not (to quote Jane Howard in Life Magazine, August 1971) "the diffident, bashful housewife whose disposition depended all too much oh the moods of the men in her family." "Art is high on Bede's list of consuming passions, and when people say 'Oh, that must be a nice hobby,' she winces." Bede is devoted to her profession and, to me, her work reflects a demand -for human liberation. •'. Z once herd it said that "Humility fa that desire to be known by others as we are known to our* selves and to God." . . . and that is a profile of BEDE YAFFE. Tho' interpreting her woxk is a challenge, everything is there to see and enjoy. She has no secrets, unshared. If you have not yet received your invitation to the OPENING, the date is May 6th (Sunday). Vfewing and refreshments between 1:00 and 5:00,

Israel Independence Day
¥om
Home Ceremony for May 7,1973
The State of Israel was established on May .14, 1948 on the 5th day of the Hebrew month of Iyar, 5708. Each year Jewish people all over the world join the people of Israel in celebrating Yom Ha'atzmaut, I s r a e l Independence Day. This year, in honor of its 25th Anniversary, let us, Omaha Jewry, rejoice in celebrations in our homes on Sunday evening, May 6, 1973, "erev yomtov." Meaning of the Holiday If Passover is the birthday of Jewish peoplehood, then Yom Ha'atzmaut, Israel Independence Day, is the birthday of Jewish statehood. Passover has enjoyed, throughout the centuries of Jewish living, the love and honor of being the pre-eminent Jewish festival. And the "secret of its success" was in the wisdom of having, from the very beginning, placed the happy burden of its observance upon each and every Jewish Family. PLAN A HOME Celebration—An Israeli dinner
your Israeli jewelry,, pins, earrings, r i n g s , necklaces. Present the menfolk with "yarmulkes" from Israel. ARRANGE an attractive table, set for the Festival with a white cloth, decanter of wine, and a seven-branched candelabrum, which is the Menorah of Israel. Build a centerpiece around the Israeli dolls or an attractive bowl of fruits and nuts such as are grown in Israel. A reproduction of an Israeli ship or El Al airplane can be very effective. A Yeminite embroidered tablecloth will add to the decor. SERVE ISRAELI WINES and fruits; figs, almonds, raisins, grapefruit, oranges, grapes, vegetables: tomatoes, carrots, eggplant, cucumbers, olives, beans and peas. Crackers with sesame seeds, stuffed cabbage, stuffed peppers; rice, kabob, peetah, and felafel. ENTERTAIN with Israeli music and d a n c e ; group songs, recitation of poetry, story telling and reading, group games, Israeli records, slides and films available from Center library.
for family and friends, a party for your teen* agers or an Israeli evening. By way of encouragement and advice to Jewish families wishing to take the first experimental steps of initiating a home celebration, recommendations for the form and content of the festivity are herewith offered. These suggestions are guided, in the first instance, by tradition already established in the State of Israel, where in addition to military parades, religious services, and a variety of public entertainment, Yom Ha'atzmaut is already celebrated in Kibbutzim and Moshavim, and many families with a "Seudah"—a festive dinner party at home. CREATE an ISRAELI Atmosphere!—Display the the flag of Israel, a map of Israel, attractive pictures and posters of the country—Israeli dolls, Israeli vases filled with flowers, etc. Be sure to put out your Israeli ash trays and items from Israel. DRESS up with Israeli embroidered blouses, scarves, dresses, Israeli knit outfits. Wear

On Ociober 28, 1948, the Provisional Council of State adopted the blue and white colors with the Shield of David as the flag of Israel. This flag was unfurled on May XX, 1949, at Lake Success in New York, when Israel became the 59th member of the United Nations. ORIGIN: The design of the Israel flag is the same as that of the Zionist flag which was used at the. First Zionist Congress, held in Basle in 1897. A major role in working out the design was played by David Wolfsohn, the distinguished Zionist leader who, in 1905, succeeded Theodor Herd as president of the World Zionist Organization. Then an idea struck me. We have a flag—it Here is Wolfsohn's own account of the birth Is blue and white. The talith—prayer shawl—with of the Zionist Hag: which we wrap ourselves when we pray; that "At the behest of our leader Herzl, I came to 1st our symbol!
