20th Street JCC Sale Completed Omaha — The Jewish Community Center building at 20th and Dodge Streets officially became the property of Northwesfern Bell Telephone Company at 10:30 a.m. last Friday. The historic closing transaction was held at the Omaha National Bank in the presence of officials of the participating Institutions. The $700,000 received for the 20th street property was immediately transferred to the Omaha National Bank in payment of the major portion of the building loan which has financed construction costs at the.,jMw Center on I32nd
Street. Aeeording to Norman Batt,
ctiairman of the Building Committee, building fund pledges are expected to cover the complete cost of the new Center. "However," Mr. Batt said, "until the building fund pledges are paid, interim financing was needed to pay the construction bills. With inters! rates at 10 per cent, reducing the loan by $700,000 represents a sizeable saving for us," Mr. Batt said. Batt noted that as pledges are paid, the roo.OOO will be channeled into the Endowment Fund for the operation of the new Center, in accordance with the original plans for the use of the proceeds of the sale. Mr. Batt said that the
construction loans has now been reduced to less than $20,000 but that addiUonal funds will be needed immediately to pay constnictiion bills as the Center nears completion. "The more money we receive from the payment of building fund pledges, the less we will have to borrow," Mr. Batt said. "For that reason I urge payment of building fund pledges as quickly as possible." According to Allen Grauer, representing the telephone company at the closing, the 2ath street Onter building will be demolished within the next month. Future plans for the site were not revealed.

The Oma^a chapter of the Intercollegiate Menorah Society was organtied in 1922 by thirty-two local Jewiah college itudenta. Their purpoie wat to promote Jewiah cultural ideals and to stimulate study and research in Jewish lore and ethics. Sam Beber and Paul Goldstein were among the founder! of the local organisation. M. Horwich was a dealer in rags, paper, and iron at 1120 Douglas Street in 19S3. Offiecrs «l the Young Man's Hebrew Aiiociation in 18116 werf Julius Meyer, M. Skmuu, F. S. Seligsohn, and I. Cahn. There were often many problems and red tape'and heartbreak involved in
bringing people to the United States from the "old country." M Tatle had lived in Omaha for twenty-five years when, in 1913, he decided to bring hit elderly father to Omaha. En route, the old man either loil his ticket or was robbed, and when he finally was able to travel acroas the ocean on a different ship he was deUined at Ellis Island and denied admission because of his age. His son finally secured the release of his father on the promise that he would be provided for. Cbeaed Shel Erne* dedicated a new building at 19th and Cuming in 1937. The society had been organized fifteen years earlier by Mrs. Harris Levy.
I too would oft limes like to write, just as 1 think. I'm one of the many Senior Citizens who meet every Monday at the Community Center. We have some one amonat us whom I think is incredible. He lives at the Dr. Sher Home. He's years young. He seldom misses a meeting. He welcomes everyone with a handshake, a Smile and with open arms. He's cordial and warm hearted, his face is radiant with one big smile He greets some of us with a hug, with love and with kisses. He calls us, "my girl friend, my sweetheart". When others from Dr. Sher Home are with him, he watches over them like a, "mother ben". He's a real Jewish gentleman and a pleasure to have around and one's day is often made. Just who is this person? None other than Keva Homstein. May hat is off to you Keva.

Anyone sitting in an editor's seal is acutely aware of the power of the written word. In recent weeks I've had ample opportunity to witness the (rehzy caused by words which appeared in this column. Bat bclteve It or aot, a bigger fnsi is often caascd by wordi which do net appear in the paper. Something seems to happen to people the moment they agree to handle publicity releases for any organization. Meek, gentle ladies are transformed into aggressive demons. E^sy-going males become inflexible and demanding. Every club notice becomes a piece of holy writing, not to be tampered with by human hands, particularly those bands attached to the body perched in the editor's seat. It's not an easy spot for an editor. On one hand, there is limited space available for organizational copy. On the other hand there is the publicity chairman whose sole interest is getting "one littte story printed without changes."Multiply "on«little.
story" by umpteen organizations and you have part of the problem. But there's more. Publicity chairmen are rarely trained to know what properly belongs in a news story. Somehow there is the feeling that the longer the story, the better the publicity, but it just isn'f so. Readers are busy people, and research shows that the shortest newspaper stories are the ones most read by the greatest number of readers. A long, unread story is not nearly as valuable as the short consice items that everyone reads. The newspaper person processing copy is really on the side of the writer as well as the reader. Copy is cut to make story printable, both from the standpoint of quality and space. The goal is to help, not hinder. Unfortunately we seem to be living in an age when everything is overdone, particularly in writing. Millions upon millions of words are often written where onlya few would tell the story
better. So to all irate publicity chairmen who have suffered the slash of the editor's pencil, consider this: The Lord's Prayer cooslsts of SI wards, LIBCOIB'S Address, ZM; The Ten Commandments, 297; The 23rd Psalm, 118. Irooically, the Ualted Stoles Government'i orders on cabbage prices numbers 26,911 words! The editor sitting at this desk really wants to be helpful. The blue pencil is used to make your copy sound more like the Gettysburg Address than the orders on cabbage prices. After all is said and done, isn't that what you really want? Take it from me, unedited copy that gete printed in total is not as desirable as it seems to be. I'll bet I could have saved myself some headaches if some kindly editor had gone over the stuff that came out of my typewriter recently. I've written my share of cabbage columns. I'd sure like some help to (oma up with a 23rd Psalm.

Jewish Quiz Box QUES'nON: Where did the name "PalesUae originate? ANSWER: The name "Palestine" which m^ans "the country of the Philistines" was first conferred on the coastal region of the land of Israel by Greek navigators. To them the interior was insignificant and a part of the coast did belong to the Philistines at one time. After the Romans destroyed Jerusalem and the temple in the second century they called the entire country "Syria Palestina" because they wanted to consider Palestine as a part of Syria so that there would be no connection anymore between the land and the Jewish people. In current history, those who refuse to recognize the SUte of Israel likewise refer to the country as "Palestine."

The Naked Truth Haifa — Especially in time of stress there is a need to relax the tensions. Goodness knows, Israel does not have too much to laugh and smile about these days, hence the Playboy Magazine scandal received considerable attention. The whole thing began, it appears, during a diiicussion between Mrs. Nina Katzir, first lady of the land, and American Ambassador Kenneth Keating. Presumably they were talking about leisure time problems of the men at the front. Someone suggested it might help the boys while away the hours if they could leaf through copies of Playboy magazine. Ambassador Keating said he thought he could obUin some. Mrs. Katzir gave the project her blessing and her auspices. AanouncemenI that the PresMent's wife wat sponsoring the distribution of 3000 copies o( Playboy brought immediate reactions ranging all the way from indignation to eathosiasm. Far days the papers were filled with letters. Mira Eitan, a girl serving in the army, was upset at the "dlKrimination". She demanded simultaneous distribution of magazines showing nude males. Another woman. Dr. Avital Cohen, objected that Playboy presents woman as a thing, an object of male sexual desire, of flesh for sale, as an animal, not a human being. How could the President's wife, of all people . .. Zevulun Hammer, Deputy Minister of EUlucation, objected on the grounds that the nude photos for which Playboy is famous would corrupt tlw morals of our youth. To be sure, he did not mean either to offend the wife of the President nor to injure the friendly relations between Israel and the U.8. ...
The soldiers themselves gave a mixed reaction: Do you have so little faith in us as to think that pictures of naked girls would lead us astray? If we could stand firm in the face of the enemy, we certainly won't buckle before a few pictures — even in color. Another soldier, member of the chaplaincy corps, sermonized sadly. A high sense of morality is what distinguishes our soldiers from those of other armies, he said. One of his duties at the front is to gather the bodies of dead men, and prepare them for burial. He empties their pockets, and collects their personal belongings. He has found pictures of the men's family, pocket size boolis of the Psalms, and other personal items — never pornographic pictures. But the first body of a dead Syrian they had to bury, had a pocket full of nude girl photos. Let's not sink to thehlevel, he pleaded Shalom Boorstein, of Jerusalem, reprimanded Mrs. Katzir on other grounds. Why import nudity from America, he wanted to know. Co we have to copy the goyim in everything? Don't we have our own nude; pictures magazines here? We should patronize the local market. Matilda Isaacs, of Tel Aviv: Mrs. Katzir appears to be familiar with Playboy magazine. Doesn't she think the level of the English is too high for our boys? Riki Daskel, a Haifa housewife: When my husband's away I would prefer that he finds his recreation in another way. The storm blew itself out. A red-faced secretory In the Israel White House reported that the promised magaihiet had not arrived, and hence would not be distributed. The disappointed groan that went up was heard all the way from the Suez Canal to the Golan Heights, and almost caused a break in the ceaae-flre.

Scandinavian Jews Assimilate STOCKHOLM (ZINS) Sweden's 19,000 Jews constitute the largest single Jewish community in all of -Scandinavia, and all signs point to an increasing assimilation. It is estimated that the number of mixed marriages is somewhere betwreen 30 per cent and 40 per cent. The overwhelming disregard for traditional Jewish practices merely reflect* the prevailing cultural pattern of indifference to all religions. A recent sociological study in Denmark reveals that 3 out of every i marriages by Jews ~ is of the mixed variety. Only 5 per cent pay any heed to religious observances, such as the dietary laws or other traditional injunctions. More Jews celebrate Christmas than do Hanuldiah. Denmark's Jews number some 6,000 souls.

last week, I sense that you feel that we, as American Jews, are not following the customs and traditions of Judaism if we change and adapt these customs and tnuUtions to conform with contemporary society. If this is an accurate assesament of your feelings, then I feel I would be remiss if I did not attempt to present another viewpoint. The history of the Jewish People is replete with examples of adaptation of the Jewish culture to the culture of the dominant society of the period. From Hillel, to Maimonides, to Rashi, to the Hasidim and to Contemporary Reform and Conservative Judaism, the scholars of each period have adapted their interpretations of Jewish Law and teachings to coaform with the needs of the larger society in which they were residing. There have always been conflicting viewpoints of Jewish responsibility. Our customs, traditions and rituals, as well as Jewish Law and interpretations of that Law, have evohred along with the evohMion of society. Tbey cetlalaly were ••( always as yaa see Ibeai laday.

I personally am thankful that Judaism Is the kind of religion that allows the freedom of individual scholars and ordinary people to agree, disagree and perhapa to even change what it means to be Jewish. Because, if we do not continue to adapt to the demands of our highly technical, rapidlychanging society, I truly fear Judaiam may stagnate and become an irrelevant factor in the lives of many of our people.

Bomb Explodes At Western WaH JERUSALEM, (JTA) - A small home made bomb exploded last' week on the steps leading down to the Western Wall but no one was injtired. The bomb consisted of 150 grams of explosives placed together with bits of metal, a fuse and time device inside a water flask. The flask was concealed among oranges in a plastic bay. It was spotted by a citizen who alerted a policeman. As the policeman approached the charge went off but he was unhurt. Moments before the explosion the square where the wall is situated was cleared of the many worshippers and visitors.

Eban Assails Israeli Press JERUSALEM, (JTA) Foreign Minister Abba Ebn accused the Israeli pr«is of waging "an exaggerated offensive on public morals since the Yom Kippur War." He implied that this was responsible, at least in part, for the extreme melancholy felt by the public since the war but noted that before the war, the public had suffered from an exaggerated sense of seU-esteem. Eban said' there were no grounds for the low spirits in Israel. "This people stands with both feet on the ground and holds in its hands the resources for its future." Eban said that one of Israel's immediate goals was to restore its place in the international arena and stabilize its present inlematlonal tics.
