By Rabbi Myer S. Krlpke Omaha—Last spring, in a series of consecutive issues, the Jewish Press carried some discussions on the subject of Jewish education, particuarly on the possibility of a Jewish community religious school, uniting present schools into one. At (hat time the Press asked me to come in for an Interview, and I did so. I taped a full halfhour, about 3,000 words, of thoughts on the subject; but the Press found space for only one or two sentences. I ask now the privilege of expressing a imall f r a c t i o n of these thoughts. To be sure, Uje community school ought not to be rejected out of hand, and I do not. There are many things to be said in its favor. Under proper restrictions and proper motivation such a school could be a Jewish asset in any community. -But one of the fears Is that lueb a school of necessity falls to the Federation to administer It and to support it. And the problems are built-in. Without casting any unfavorable" reflections on Federations in general or Omaha's m particular, or any slate of officers or'particular directors of Federations -r the problems are built-in. Federations naturally —one might say properly—are sub- ject to great pressure for funds, for Israel and Israel causes, for •international needs and many -national causes, and certainly
for their own local programs. Given these facts of Jewish life, it is the rare Federation indeed which can find the motivation to keep r e l i g i o u s schools on a high rung of the priorities ladder. Our Omaha Federation is a case in point: during a time period when Federation's Income and expenditures have more than doubled, the subsidy for the religious schools has been rigidly frozen. And if a change is in the offing, it Is a reduction, not an Increase, that is constantly threatened. Federation people, for a variety of reasons, put on different hats from the ones they wear when they sit on Synagogue boards, or take them off altogether. Federations the country over stand as proof. They will not give'generously, perhaps I should say cannot give generously, for the support of Jewish education. • Contrast their attitude to recreational requirements of the Jewish community, reaching almost to prenatal basketball. A second problem with the community school;is (especially if it is a merger of other schools and now "belongs" to Federation) is that it tends to seek a comon denominator — the lowest common denominator '— among what had been separate schools. The tendency is to demand no more than a previously "successful" independent school demanded, in terms of qualification of teachers, cognitive aims of the school (what level of Jewish knowledge is aimed at), and, perhaps most important, of the minimum number of hours of instruction per year -or per week required of its pupils;

Callers will be trained at. a luncheon meeting at noon Tuesday, Aug. 7, in the Colonial Room of the Des Moines Club. Kay Bucksbaum is chairman of "Operation Dit alogue.'* The long-range goal of the effort is to be able to undertake a program of services

Sidelines I'm back, and if you didn't notice that I was gone, please don't tell me. I'm on a happy kick and I don't want to spoil it. I took l a s t week off; but it wasn't the "vacation" that made me happy. It was the fact that I made it through the week and was able to c o m e Gerelick back to "work." We had no plans to go away, so the vacation time was spent "catching up" at home. Get the picture? ~ I cleaned, and sewed and s c r u b b e d and straightened drawers and closets ad nauseam. I started on Monday with bursting energy. By Friday I was near collapse. Some Vacation. I know I should feel good about the housfe being in order again, but frankly it makes me kind of nervous. I've always joked about not being able to die Until all the drawers were clean, and now that they

There is a bright side if you want to look for ir. For i n s t a n c e . The >Iew Year's edition of the Jewish Press promises to be rather special this year. In prepara-_ tion for that issue, a survey of attitudes of a sample of the Jewish community is b e i n g , taken.

If the rest of the survey, follows the same lines, it really will be sensationaL I nope all who have not yet done so will return the questionnaires pron-. to • and keep me- on my happy high.

.The ninth of'Av which this year.falls on Tuesday, August 7, marks the observance' of Tishah B'Av, a day of mourning and fasting for Jews. " ./..'••.•'.' Tishah B'Av gives expression to the grief of Jews of all times and all places concerning the tragedies recorded in the history of the Jewish people. We mourn the loss of the land,.the destruction of the ancient'Temples, the centuries of homeless wandering and persecution to whicbrour people have been subjected. Tishah B'Av summons the world to review the tragedies which have confronted the Jewish people; the trials arid tribulations; the agony and martyrdom during the centuries of the Diaspora. Tishah B'Av summons modern Jewry to ponder the steadfast loyalty of their forefathers to Judaism, in spite of the infinite hardships. Tish B'Av should also stir us to a keener concern for those fn our own time who arc the victims of intolerance and persecution. It bids us to assume our responsibilities in the task of bringing closer the day of peace and justice for all men.

brighter than that would be if Senators Baker and E r v i n WERE. The meat shortage: Mostly it's bad, but I did get a vicarious thrill with the news that Bernard Goldstein, ( s o u n d s Jewish) president of a Hotel Supply Co., rejected an order from the White House for 15 pounds of steak. According to Goldstein, "If Mrs. Housewife feels the meat shortage, so should the White House which started the shortage." Git Gezzuct Bernie. Incidentally, N a t e Shukert has come up with a new definition for chutzpah. According to Nate, chutzpah is a Jew who feels the beef shortage at the super market, comes to the kosher butcher shop for the first time in his life on Monday morning and then asks for Sunday's special prices! Arid finally, this bit of news from Anchorage, Alaska. There lives a lively,, stocky young man with a ere we ut and an American a c c e n t . But. his name is Dr. Arndt Von Hippel, and his family fled Germany in 1933 because his Nobel Prize winning grandfather was Jewish and children on the streets threw stones at him. Recently the Public Health hospital in Alaska asked Dr. von Hippel, now a leading cardiovascular surgeon, to examine the ailing captain of a Soviet fishing trawler. "He had a badly infected area a r o u n d his heart and lungs," said' the doctor, "and was in severe shock when we took him into surgery." According to the doctor, the operation was successful, the captain regained his health and Dr. von Hippel's bill to the Soviet government for his services came to $1500. • "It was a good fat fee," said the doctor, "and when I finally got it I turned it over to the UJA for use in buying another Jewish life.
