Happy Birthday AZA so years ago a small group of Omaha teenage boys organized a club. Under the dynamic leadership of 22 year old Sam Beber, the small local club was established as a national ocganization. That early effort in Omaha has become th« largest Jewish youth organization in the world serving more than 50,000 teenage boys and girls. It is fitting that the SOth anniversary celebration of
AZA is being celebrated in Omaha this weekend, where the movement began. We welcome the many dignitaries who have come to Omaha for the anniversary dinner. The Jewish Press joins in the tribute to the AZA founder, Sam Beber, and offers good wishes for the continued growth and service provided by the BBYO movement.
1971 Tourists Endorse Planned Israel Youth Pilgrimmage for 74 Omaha — Application forms have been mailed to lOlh, Ulh, and 12th grade High School Students for a group pilgrimage to Israel to take place in the summer of mi. The six to seven week tour, arranged by the Omaha Israel Tour committee, will include participants from Omaha, Des Moines and Uncobi. Additional application forms and further information are available from the directors of education of the Omaha synagogues and at the Jewish Community Center. Lori Wbitroub and Lenny Hochster, who participated In the 1971 Israel Youth Pilgrimage share some of their impressions of the tour in the following articles: ISRAEL . . . faliafel, Chasidim with their long beards and payas. bargakiiag la Uie Arab Market, ipeaUng Hebrew, fleaUng In (he Dead Sea, living on cacambers, lenataes and Ice-cream, ellniblag Massada. skindiving al Coral liland, visUfng the Wnlcrn Wall on Tisha B'av, body surfing in (be Mediterranean, riding a camel, plsatlog a tree In the Kennedy Peace Forest, expcrieoebig (be solKade of |UKibba(— as yoM see I cp^ld
go on forever. I participated in the Omaha Israeli Pilgrimage Tour for high school youth in 1971, and I understand that a similar tour is now being organized for Omaha Uds to occur this summer. la-ael is more than just a country, it is the Jewish homeland which has been only recently established after thouaands of years of Jewish torment and persecution. The Israeli's are an extremely strong and loyal people who would risk anything for their country and heritage. By just spending seven weeks there I felt as though I was really part of the whole Jewish experience as it really is. Today, when I read the letters which I had written home to my family while I was in Israel, I discovered for the first time how valuable the opportunity to travel to Israel really is. Just bebig hi the Jewlsli homeland. Just living there li experiencing the essence of Judaism itself. And only in Israel can one get that special feeling that comes with being Jewish. As I read my letters I found a sentence which expresses my feelings towards Israel. "So many new esperieoees, s >acw binguage, a new set of

There are great moments in our lives; times which sre special and places that are special. My special place is 'Israel. It is difficult for me to convey this special feeling I have. Israel is a land different from all other landa. It is oar bad; the land of the Jewish people. Israel means Jeruulem, the Western Wail, Ein Gedi, Tel Aviv, but it also means work as well as fun. I experienced all these things that summer in Isrsel. The Omaha Pilgrimage gsve
25 young Omahans a chance to see our land. 1 will never forget the first time I was at the Western Wall or the time I milked that cow at the Kibbutz. Thia is what Israel is all about. 1 don't think any of those 2S young Omahans were sorry they went that summer. That first tour to Israel with the Omaha Pilgrimage was my first opportunity to visit "Eretz Vlsroel". It so happena I loved it so much, I returned to Israel the next summer. In short, a trip to Israel is a cbsBce l« learn about Israel and yourself. It is an opportunity (hat no one should pass up. Lenny Hochster..

Israeli Students Ask:
What Are We Doing Here?' By RcvvcB RmeofeUer The Yam Kippur War has had a deep effect on the mind of Ivieiis, and high school itMdnls ve pertups the most . TUliienMe to this change. They are in the process of forming independent opinions ind approaches to life. But they haven't gone into the army yet. They art still in school, where In the last few weeks there has been a lot of debate and loul-searching. Today's high-school students can remember only the Six-Day War which resulted in a smashing Israeli victory. They grew up in a period of unprecedented prosperity, feeling supremely confident of Israel's military strength. Their expectation was that renewed hostilities would end up quickly and decisively. Just like the SixDay War. 'The recent war has shown them otherwise. Most students know personally of someone who has fallen.
Israel's political isolation has increased a sense of frustration and puzzlement. A credibility gap, to which young people are especially sensitive, was created by official Israeli announcements in the first few days of the war. The army's initial state ofc unpreparedness is now common knowledge. As a resalt of It all, same basic ^acsUoos are being asked by yoaag men aod woasen: What are we doing here? Is it ear destiny to risk a«r lives every few yean in battle? Is It all wwlb M? Wkat's tke Zionist expcrinieni all about? "I find myself standing in front of 8 class without having ready answers," said one teacher at a recent meeting to evaluate the impact of the war on education. "I think it's good that they are asking questions, without getting the answers. I'm not sure an-
swers would make then fM better." Yitzhak Shapira, Principal of the Reali School and one of the moat respected flgwea la Israeli education, beUeves the war Is a turning point in wtiidi educators must play a major role. It is up to them to impart to students a set of values that would have to sustain them in years to come. "Our self-image as a conquering nation has been shattered," he says. "The war has shown that we are fighting with our back to the wall — and so it will be for a k>ng, kmg time. Our youth must be made aware of this." "The key lies in baiidiag ap onr IdenUty as Jews," he adds. "If we are staytag here la spHe of tbc daagen. H is becaase we are carrytaig aal mr hislarlcal IradUaa and vahies."

British Airports Alerted to Terrorists LONDON. (JTA» Heathrow and all other airports throughout Britain were 00 a special alert last week following Scotland Yard reports of Arabs on the loose in Europe seeking new terrorist targets. According to reports, security authorities at Heathrow now have a list' containing 30 names o( terrorists who may be trying to psaa through London or get into the country intent on attaddog prominent Jews. The list is being kept a close secret but alrilne officials have been informed and told
to watch for the names. Police are said to be aware that these terrorists might be traveling on false pasqwris. Immigration control men are working in close cooperation with Scotland Yard senitioizing all Middle East psasports. Any passengers even subtly suspect are being searched.

A widow from the fashionable circtes of Tel Aviv said that she was no longer invited to parties and social gatherings, where she might have had a chance of meeting eligible men. Further — her friends respected and admired her efforts to create a life for herself and her children, but they offered little moral support. She was left to her "loneliness on a pedestal" when she would much rather have been taken out to a night club or a theatre and made to feel human again. Much of the help being given to the widows of the Yom Kippur War is coming from the widows of the previous wars. They akled in the ghastly task of informing the women that their husbands had been killed. They lent of their strength, saying, "I know what it is you are suffering. I am still going through it."

This luue of the Jewish Pirett may well become a collector's item. It is historic in that it is the first issue of the paper produced by offset printing. It is a complete change from the printing process used during the paper's S2 year history. With this issue, the Jewish Press "goes modern." The siie and the style of typography are brand new. The print is more readable, the pictures are sharper, the make-up is more attractive. Everything a>>out this issue is new and exciting. that being tiie case, you have every right to expect that This column will be upectacular as well. Forget it! I thought about writing a spectacular column this week. After 9H years of writing non-apectacular
e East Boundaries It Is incredible that the - world is prepared to see the natiooal homeland of the .- Jewish people shrunk from 43,000 square mile* in 1917 to ji. t,OW tqiure miles in 1973 — ^ ttw diiMMioni of the st«te of New-Jcneyi Ualil 1917. the MIMIC East was part of the Otteisan ' Empire. There were •• Arab SUtct in the area. England and France after defeattejf^ ~ Gcrmaay's ally. Turkey, set ap French mandates in Syria, Iraq and appointed Arab r«l«n. A British mandate was established la PatesUac. , aad the Balfour Dcclarallaa was promulgated, provldbig far a Jewish homeland which faKladed what is now Israel, Jordan, Gau and the Getaa HdghU. The SiiMi was a separate mandate. Furthermore, It wa* not part of Egyptian tenitory in 1922 when Efypt declared her Indapidinre and the Egyptian Kingdom was fom^. The Egyptians ~ did not then — nor since —
make any organized attempt tp setUe the area. The 100,000 residents of Sinai — mainly Bedouins — were never granted Egyptian citizenship. The area was never integreled into the civil admlnif(ration of Egypt proper. Indeed, Egyptian law strictly prohibits fraternization and Inter - marriage between Egyptian soldiers or civiliami and local inhabitants of Sinai; and Bedouin iniuUtants of Sinai are still prohibited from owning land in Sinai. In 1922, In order i» placate Abdullah, the British hacked off the eastern part ef PalesUae — 7S per cent — aad created Tran»>lordaa. In 1948 after the UN voted for Israel's Independence, the State was bordered on the east by the Jordan River. But the Arab states waged war on Israel: Trans-Jordan crossed the river, seized Eastern Jerusalem, and took the West Bank, tlius becoming Jordan. Jordan was to be the Palestinian homeland and
could have been called Palestine, but the Arabs wouldn't accept this nomenclature because they refused to recognize Israel. The so-called Gaza strip, which has ahways been part of Palestine — not Egypt — was seized by Egyptian troops. However, as in the Sinai, Gaza residents were never granted Egyptian citizenship during the period from 1948 to 19S7 when Egypt occupied Gaza. In 19(7, when the Arab* once more attacked Israel, it was not, therefore, to regain tenitory but to obliterate Israel. Israel survived — outnumbered tiiough she was — and reunified Jerusalem and occupied the Golan Heights, which Syria used as a staging ground against Israeli agriculture villages in the vaHey below; the Gaza Strip, and the West Bank of the Jordan which bellies out into the middle oi Israel, practically cutting this tiny country in half.
In other words, the boundaries of the MIddte East at well as various Arab governmente — have been formative and transltloaal since World War I; ther>e not historic. Isn't it time for the mien of the Arab states c^Ugnous with Israel — Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Egypt — to accept Israel's existence and work out logical, geographic boundaries that arc coherent and, tkerefare, defenslbte?

It seemed to me that the whole business of logistics would be impossible. The printing plant in Norfolk is ultra-modern which would really be neat if it were in Omaha instead of Norfolk. I wondered about the whole business of spanning the 100 plus miles between here and there with copy. Even with the earlier deadlines, how would it ever get there in time. And what happens if a Nebraska snow storm closes the roads? And could I really explain what I wanted in notes rather than face to face communication with the printers? Impossible! I visited the plant in Norfolk and then I really got nervous. Not knowing my limitations in understanding things scientific or mechanical, the nice people in Norfolk tried to
explain the workings of their elaborate computorized equipment. For agi^l who has difficulty in understanding how an electric light btilb works, the sight of a machine that can think and spell aad read and type is rather overwhelming. They told me that the "thinWhg" done by a computor is based on the programming put into it. Thus, the computor will reject anything for which it is not programmed. It was at that point that I was fairly sure that this issue would never come off the press. Go explain to a gentile computor in Norfolk, Nebraska that "Hanukkah, Hanuka, Chanukkah. Chanulta," are all the correct spelling of the same holiday. I was thankful that the change to offset hadn't been made a month ago. I tried to gear the capy this week with lensitivily lor the umuspecting gentile computor In Norfolk. But I was reasonably sure that it the word "chutzpah" slipped through in the copy, the computor would explode and there would IM no paper. That's why I didn't write a spectacular column this ' week. I was dovbtfui that it would ever get printed. . I was aware, however, of one outside chance. If computors are as smart as everyone says they are, there was the possibility that the gentile Norfolk computor would convert to Judaism, in which case it could handle a' word like "chutzpah" even without programming. In that case, the paper would get printed and my column would appear. So If you »re reading Ibis, forgive me foi; holding back on the spectacular colnnia. Maybe next week?

columns t figured I was due for one. But then I decided it would be foolish to blow "the big one" now. To be honest, I never really believed this issue would ever come off the press. I had very good reasons to be doubtfiil. With all the advantages offered by off-set printing, I was reluctant to make the change. It meant forgetting everything it took me 10 years to learn about the mechanics of printing. The whole concept of "un-learning" is upsetting to me. It meant learning new type styles, new headline counts, new colunin measurements, new everything. That's a lot of new learning which, at my age, can be equally upsetting. Then there was tlir business of earlier deadlines. Speaking of leamijig difficulUes! Have you ever tried ta teach an organization program chairman that a Monday deadline really means Monday?

he U niversity Dilemma L Haifa — Decision by the larad Govern>' ment to reopen the univenitles of the ; country was not ea«i)y taken, and If already ^ a Mib]ect for vigorous disciusioa among all 'those coocenwd. Ilic basic reasoning was as follows: - Certain numbers of students are not at tWs time serving in the amied forces for one reason or another. Some have already been ^nltased. Some are exempt from service. Whatever Uw reason, they are idle and anxious to get on with their studies. Continued iuspension of claasea is bad for morale on the borne front, especially when every effort is being made to return daily life to some degree of normalcy. Puthemore, . leaching staff is to a Urge extent available. Ualesi the aaivcrsltict were to respta bnmedialely. It was clear that sa entire seawUer, ar perhaya evea aa calire academic year waaM he last, with all the ImpUcalieas wMdi lUs has far a U||ily progreuive csaatry which loalu la Its aaaaal crop of sniveriity gradaate* for the edacaled and- Iriiard msapvwer aecded la every aspect of (he oatioaal exlsloce. The hesitation stemmed from the cfftect , which the reopening would have on the tens , of thousands of students still in uniform, many of them serving on the northern and southern fronts. Spot interviews with some of these young people revealed a perfectly natural bitterness. While others, those who stayed home, would be going ahead with their academic careers, they, the soldiers, would now fall behind. If mobilization continued for as long as some fear the soldiers would never be able to cabih up. For many this would mean that whfathey were finally released from the array they would discontinue their studies.
To be sure, the universities have pledged that every effort would be made to provide the boys st the front with a steady flow of study material, so that they could make uae of their spare time. During a continued cease-fire ieeaion may remain high, but time hanp heavy oo the bands of the men in uniform. the Hebrew University and Td Aviv University, among others are planning a highly developed mail correspondence course for its students, as weO as organised visits to the encampments by teams of teacbefs. The Technion, in addition, is planning to tdevise all major claas lectures, and build up a library of video-tape casMttes which soldiers can view at the Technion library when they come in for week-ends or short leave* or upon eventual rdeaae, even months later. lliere Is no full satisfactory solution, but the dedtion was taken, and classes have now resumed at all institutions except the Technloa. Unlike the other schools, which have a large percentage of girls and of fereign students, the Technion is W per cent male and almost all laraalis. It is therefore the most seriously afTected by military mobilizatioo. Voluntary lectures are being offered to aU who can appear, but it can not be the full academic program until the military situation eases. In the meantine, a rebruary date has been set for the Kill opening. Ihcre win be •• vaeatlaa seat saMaicr.

Beame, the third son of has similarly served the Polish-Jewish parents, was Zionist Organization of bom with the family name of America, the Brooklyn Birnbaum which was legally Jewish Community Council, changed to Beame when he ,B'nai B'rith's Hillel and ADL,
The Brooklyn Hebrew Home and Hospital for the Aged, and krael Bonds, and many others. Five-fodt-lWff, ~a —conservative and careful dresser, Abe Beame has never been a glamour boy. This was his greatest difficulty in winning the nomination and was the factor election punsters said he would have to overcome in the general elections. But political theorists felt, and they were right, that New York was tired of the Lindsaytype glamour boy. Abe Beame, a courageous fighter and a conscientious hard worker, as New York's lOSIh Mayor, takes over a job so complex and fraught with complexities, especially in this era of change and racial unres't, that next to the Presidency, it has been called the second most difficult job in the United States.
We are so happy to have Reva Klaiman and her grandson as visitors, Shalom and a safe return to Israel from all your friends. We sent get well wishes to Mr.-bw Oitravicb.
