Five Rabbis Manhandleqi By U.N. Security Guard NEW YORK, (JTA) - Five rabbis who claim that they and 120 Jewish student demonstrators were manhandled by United Nations security guards who forcibly ejected them from the UN visitors lobby on May 20, have aaked for a meeting with Ambassador John Scali "to diKusa this matter and to attempt to insure that the United Nations ... docs not become a forum for wholesale violation of civil righta." The signers on this letter were Rabbi Steven RisUn, Avraham Weiss, Saul Berman, Reuben Grodner and Benjamin Blech. On May 22, Rabbi Berman and Rabbi Blech and a delegation of Yeshiva University students met Deputy Mayor Judah Gribetz at City Hail to protest the incident. Gribetz said he would inform Mayor Abraham D. Beame and "lake appropriate action with UN authorities." The letter to Ambassador Scali contained a detailed account of what the rabbis say happened when they and the students demonstrated peacefully in the UN lobby to demand that the world organization "aasert moral leadership to prevent further terror in the Middle East" in the wake of the Maalot and Kiryat Shemena tragedies. "We informed the deputy chief of security that we would be willing to leave u soon as we made a statement to the press," the rabbis'

letter said. "Wejndicated to him that we had no Intention of being arrested. The demonstrators were students, many of them young women, and in the many years of demonstrations we have participated in we have always avoided violence in any form," the rabbis wrote. They claimed in the letter that when a reporter began to interview Rabbi Weiss, the entire group was subjected to an unprovoked assault by about 30 UN guards without warning. "Many of us were brutally beaten and dragged out of the lobby. One of the students was hit at the Ijase of his spine so severely that he could not walk. One Yeshiva University student, Michael Burr, had his hand broken by the guard* i a number of the younger iomen, also from Yeshiva University, were treated at Beth Israel Hospital and now have their arms in slings," the letter to Scali said. It also claimed that the guards had removed their shields before they attacked the group to avoid identification. "We came to the United Nations seeking an end to violence and we were met with violence. Certainly the civil and human rights o( American citizens does not end at the United Nations gate," the rabbis wrote. James Finore, acting chief of security at the UN, denied that the. guards, had uaed

excessive violence or antiSemitic expletives all charged by the group.

Rabbi Proposes.#*•Disbanding ""«!P^ ^ . . LevKSh Freed Of Synagogue Sisterhoods r\^ r%

NEW YORK, (JTA) - A New York rabbi proposed the disbanding of synagogue sisterhoodoe which he said had deterred women from positions of synagogue leadership by channeling their activities into what have been considered "traditionally feminine or supportive roles." The proposal was made by Rabbi A. James Rudin, assistant director of the American Jewish Committee inlerrellgious affairs department, at a panel discussion on the women's movement and ihe Jewish community at the 88th annual meeting of the AJCommlttee here. Rabbi Rudin said "it's time we dropped all the women's clubs and all the men's clubs so that we can really have congregations." He said sisterhoods "have done some fine things - but their existence has prevented women from moving into the mainstream leadership of synagogues. It's the executive committee of a congregation that sets the budget—and the executive committee still meets In the men's room."

Rabbi Rudin proposed the "active recruitment of Jewish women for the rabbinate, the cantorate and positions of real professional responsibility In the Jewish community, especially in national Jewish organizations and the various community Federations." Arthur L. Kimmelfleld, a New York member of the AJCommittee's Executive Council, said women must take Ihe lead in moving the Jewish community toward accepting full equality of both sexes. He said Jewish women "have been too modest about making their demands." Dr. Nancy Wyner, assistant principal of Larchmont Schools, Larchmont, N.Y. another panelist, said the Jewish community had no provisions for including Ihe independent woman in its religious and communal activities. She offered four recommendations on how the Jewish community might correct Its "current neglect" of women. She proposed creation of day care centers "completely Immersed In Jewish tradition" to relieve mothers

of being the sole transmitters of Jewish identity; more opportunities for women to participate In Jewish ritual; provision for rabbinical counselling, or straining women to perform such counseling In the synagogue to support changes in the lifestyle of women; and more open discussions in the Jewish community.

NEW YORK (JTA)Yevheny Levich, the 27-yearold Moscow astrophysicist, has been released from a military camp In Siberia and his parents have been told to pick him up.

Levich was taken into custody last May after the entire family applied for exit visas. He received two draft deferments on grounds of illness and had been seriously ill in prison.

Six Terrorists Killed on Golan TEL AVIV, (JTA) - Six Arab teNjrists who Infiltrated from Syria were killed and two were captured on May 23 in a battle with an Israeli army unit near Ramat Magshlmlm on the Golan Heights. A military spokesman said the terrorists were heavily armed and carried equipment indicating they were on a mission to seize hostages and commit sabotage. According to the spokesman, the two captured terrorists informed Israeli soldiers that six others of their group were in the vicinity. They were discovered about noon local time and killed. One was blown up when a shot hit a pack of explosives he was carrying. There were no Israeli casualties. Two electric loudhailers were found near the bodies, apparently to be used in negotiations after hostages were captured. Also found near the bodies were eight Kalachnikov automatic rifles, four pistols, about 30 hand grenades and two back packs containing 22 pounds of explosives, sabotage gear, transistor radios, maps, compasses and binoculars.

JGj&Sf^^z Inmate Continues 31 Year Search for Brother By Marray Zaefaaff NEW YORK". (JTA) Albert Brokman haa been engaged in a lonely but tireless crusade for the past 31 years searching for his brother whom he last saw in 1943 in Auschwitz. "In all these years I never gave up hope of seeing him again alive and well," Brokman said. A year ago his hopes were buoyed when he spotted a picture in HadatMh Magazine of a group of Jewish arrivals in Cyprus sometime around 1M7.

Albert, or Abus, as he was known before he came to the United SUtet in 1»46, was born April 2, 1927 in Zawiercie, a small town in Poland. His brother, Malus, waa bom Sept. I, l«29. Their father, who was a Uik>r, is retired and now resides in Miami, is named Ben Zk>n. Their mother who is dead, was named Hela, and her maiden name was Moskowitz. In 1943 Abus and Malus were taken by the ^iazis from Zawiercie to Auschwitz. "On Aug. 2S, I9U, after two months in the camp my brother and I were separated," Brokman retried. "I was told to go on one line and he to another. That was the last time I MW hini.*' Jlrokman was transferred to another camp in Ormany near Breslau and In 1945 was liberated ^Ihc allied forces from the Nordhausen camp. He came to New York on July IS, 1946 and moved to New Rochelle in 1961.

There, amidst a number of Jews shown with British soldiers behind a barbed wire encloeure was a yoimg man "who I know, I know, is my brother. His note, his eyes, his chin ... everything about him is the same as my brother's," he said pulling out of a portfolio a group of pictures showing his family before the tragic event of the Nazi occupation of Poland. "I know he's alive and I want, I must find him. But where is he?" Brokman asked. Sitting in the editorial office of tbe JTA he unfolded the story that began 31 years ago.

An

Ljwt May, Brokman's wife, Gloria, who is a member of Hadassah in New RocheUe, brought home the magazine. "There, on page 19, wu this group photograph and there.

..." He immediately contacted Hadassah magazine to try to put a tracer on the photograph but no one there knew when it was taken or by whom. II was Just a random photograph pulled from the Zionist archives to go with a story by E>ika Oysernun, a free-lance Israeli writer, about Jewish refugees from Europe who made their way to Cyprus in the late 19401 and subsequently came to Israel. In the spring of 1948 there were 53,000 Jewish refugees in Cyprus before the British terminated (heir mandate in Palestine. By Feb. 1949 the Cyprus camps were liquidated and the refugees went to Palestine. Brokman said that after seeing the photograph he also contacted the Jewish Agency in Jerusalem and was toM that every effort would be made to help him locate his brother, "That was last Aug.," he said ruefully. "Two months later, as .you know, war broke out and I haven't heard from the Agency since. The war and its aftermath has kept them

pretty busy these,past few months with many, so many problems." Eiperta Confirm IdeaUly Of Brother Brokman said that in order to determine objectively whether or not the youiig man in the photograph was his brother he sought the aid of several artists and photographic experts who compared the features of that person with those in photographs Uken of Malus when he was a youngster. "In each case the artist and the photographic ext)ert automatically picked out the young man in the Cyprus

camp photo after examining the earlier photo. They confirmed my own views that the features were identical."' Brokman was asked if he could possibly imagine where his brother couM be. "He might be on a kibbutz or working in some factory or even have his own business," he answered. "He might h4ve changed his name and maybe that's wherU the difficulty lies. I can only hope that if he, or someone who knew us both in the distant past, learns of my search we can be reunited. I and my father live in hope and we win continue in our quest to find him."

Enjoy Auguat by Inviting one of . theae darlings to your home." She explained that the scheme was not under the auapicea of any social care organixaUon, but was merely - a paraonal underUUng. She said that she had already ','received twenty phone calls,

both from families willing to take children and individuals wishing to contribute fare money.

llieeclitt^r When I wai in the Chicago area for the 50th Anniversary of AZA, Phil Klutznick, Sam Beber and Mort Richards were so enthusiastic about the new Jewish Coininunily Center in Omaha that I decided to visit It en route back to Los Angeles. As I drove up Dodge Street, it was rather depreuiflg to see Ihem tearing down the old building. But what a deUght it was when I got within sight of the new Jewish Community Center. I went through rather thoroughly and inspected all of your public as well as specialized service facilities, and I was tremendously impressed with the beauty and functional attributes of Ihe new building. It is a truly magnificent structure in which I think the entire Jewish community of Omaha can lake pride. I have lived in Jewish ' communal work long enough to know thai there will be many who say that buildings of this type should be stiictly functional with as little ostentation as possible. I have always been a firm believer that our public buildings should be as well built as we can make them with an attractiveness that would serve as the outward demonstration of the Importance of the _ service that we deliver to Ibe Jewish cominunlty. I particularly feel that way about the Omaha Jewish Community Center. Other denominational groups build hospitals. Still other denominations build universities. The Jewish community builds a center for people. It stands as a imique and significant contribution to the community in which you live. I applaud the builders who ;' have constructed a handsome addition to the cultural life of the community. and one that I believe will enrich the entire : Mid-West Julias Bisa*.. i Atsaciatc •Exccnlive • Director..

The JCC AND YOUTH I have been oat *f the Omaha picture for almast a year, bat I still give a damn abaol Omaha Jewry. Liist year, 1 started a Teen Forum column in the Jewish Press so tliat Jewish youth could express their feelings. The column was not outstanding and eventually failed. Accompanying this failure was the sudden removal of youth input into the Jewish community; although I may be mistaken, I feel that the adult Jewish community has drastically neglected the interests of the youth. I still feel that I am a part of the Omaha Jewish youth, and 1 believe this article represents the ideas of several friends in both college and high school. IXiring my last vacation, I had the opportunity io visit the new JCC. T« pit H bfamUy, ny baHlt was barsL The new balldlag Is beaatifal. the faeUMies mi programs are iremendous. The advanUges ooe caa gain from Ihe new JCC are inaameraMc and well worth the membership fee. Bat I did aal ice it as a Jewish CommnMy Ceirter: it i* Just a great community center with

outatanding facilities. The new JCC can be used only as a tool to build Jewish lenity In Omaha; a tremendous amount of work, care and desire by everyone are still the keys to success. Living In Evanston, III. haa not totally discommunicated me from the Jewish scene in Omaha. I have received the impreaaion that the major contraversy among the athilla is the question of opening the JCC on Saturday. I don't see this as a problem at all; Shabboa is a time when Jews should be able to congregate, pray, study, sing and enjoy Diemselves. The Omaha synagogues have never served asu place to bring Jews together, (particularly the youth) during Shabbos. Very few Omaha Jews keep Shabboa strictly and are within walking distance of both the synagogue and the JCC. I fed that a JewUh child woald grow up with a jp-eatcr sentc of Jcwishness If be could ipcnd Shabbos with other Jewish children la a Jewish atmosphere. I was fortunate to have grown up In a Jewish neighborhood; I could go outside on Saturday and play with Jewish Uds. But Jews are now spread out all over Omaha. My younger sister is 13, and most of her friends are scattered all over the city. Give tbem a place to meet and spend Shabbos together; keep the JCC apen. Voa adaKs worry roosUntly aboat ialerdaUng, aad tbU poulbllMy of togetheraess might jast redvee it. I also received the impression that few people questioned the high percentage of gentiles who joined the new JCC. 1 realize they were allowed to join for economic reasons, but I sincerely believe this has taken much of the Jewishneas away from the JCC. I may be mistaken, but I would assume that most non-Jewish members live cUwe to the Center and are therefore using its facilities a greater amount of time than moat.

Jewish Quiz Box QVESTION: Why la it that Judaism, which is so merciful to all living things, condones Ihe killing of animals for food? ANSWER: A number of reasons are advanced for this. Very Interesting is the one offered by Rabbi Jacob Albo in his Sefer ha-ikkarim. Albo explains that from tiie period of Adam to that of Noah, eating flesh was prohibited to men. In the days of Noah, permission was granted to the human race to eat flesh because a great fault in human thought and conduct had occurred. There were many, including Cain, who assumed that man is no higher than the animal because eating Ihe flesh of the animal was prohibited.

vehemently opposed to opening the membersliip of youth social groups sponsored by the JCC to non-Jewish children. If you allow all these Uds to be put In social groups together, then my entire argument for the opening of the JCC on Saturday is shot to hell. Please don't misinterpret me. I encourage friendships between Jewish and gentile kids in each neighborhood and school, but the JCC should be a place for Jewish people all over the city to congregate. 1 sincerely hope the new JCC does become a place for Jews to congregate any day of the week. I suppose much of this article is a warning to parents, teachers, and administrators that a building alone will not unite Omaha Jews, particularly the youth. There is stiU much work and effort that must be done. KeaFlshbala

People then thought of themselves as 4io more responsible for their actions than animals. After the flood, man was given permission to eat meat to emphasize that be was indeed superior to animals and therefore should act accordingly. It muft be understood clearly that in Judaism, even though man is, allowed the freedom of eating flesh, his consumption of flesh is, nevertheless, placed under severe restrictions. He can only eat certain types of animals, only after a restricted Und of slaughter plus other restrictions. Hence, Judaism's permlsaion to eat flesh Is rsther restrictive than permissive.

The Arabs Among Us HAIFA - The sb-ength (rf Israel's democratic system is to be found in the country's willingness, and ability, to subjec't itself to pitiless, critical scrutiny. At limes Ihe self-analysis verges on Ihe masochistic. Self-flagellation has become a frequent public sport here. However Israel, television performed a valuable public service Ihe other night when It screened an Interview with a group of Arab high school students, followed by a critical commentary by five intelligent and articulate young Arab intellectuAj^nd professionals. The Arabs spoke freely. The high school youth, all from Ihe relatively well devek>ped lown of Taibeh, gave went to their feelings of frustration. They told that their ambitions to be a doctor or an actor or a journalist could not be realized in Israel because of what they believed to be discrimination. "There is no chance for me to study at university In Israel", sjfid one. "I shall go to Russia to study. My party, Ihe Communist party, will send me." In response to a question he said he had been a Communist since (he age of nine ^ "How did yaa feel on Yarn Kippar day?" another was asked. "Voa waat the trath? WeU, I rejoiced. I was happy that the Arabs were wfataing •t last, aad catld boM thebbeads up." The rive InteUactuals, all successful In public, academic or professional life, were perhaps the answer to the frustrations of the younger ones, but they too had Iheir complaints. For one thing they criticized the curriculum in the Arab

schools. Why does Arab youth have to learn about Ahad HaAm, or Bialik? They rejected llie suggestion that this was intended to bring about a greater understanding of the Jews, and thus contribute to neighborly relations. All of them agreed that they felt themselves to t>e Arabs first, meaning members of Ihe greater Arab people. Most cal led themselves Palestinians second. Only one called himself an Israeli — after the Arab indentification. Several tt them spoke ap with reseatmeat agahist Ike stereotype of the Arab which Jews have created: Ihe Arab Is stapid: Ibe Arab Is backward. It is trac that Jews da not hate Arabs, they admitted, but they belittle M, and tliey Implied that in iome ways tliat does even mare to polsoa relalieas. They agreed, too, that up to Ihe time of the Six-Day War the Arabs of the country were beginning to be "Israelized". However the personal contact with Arabs of the West Ban and Gaza and other lands had served to renew and strengthen their nationalist feelings as Arabs and Palestinians. The Jewish moderator, Yoram London, asked probing, provocative questions. How do you feel about exemption of Arabs from military service, he asked. All of them felt they could not be asked to lake up arms against their brethren. However, If they sought equal rights as citizens they agreed they must fulfill equal reaponaibilities. They suggested that Arabs be drafted Into useful national service, filling necessary functions in Arab villages, where they were most

needed. The one hour program raised more questions tlian it could answer. The five were In the midst of animated, but not excited discussion when the time ran out. Of course it was completely one-sided. London made no attempt to argue or transform (he session into a debate. He wanted his five guests to feel perfectly free to speak their hearts, though I ant sure many in the nationwide audience were disturbed that no attempt was made to reply 10 the Arabs. Still, can one conceive of a similar program conducted i|(^ any Arab state on behalf of aay minority, let ahme the Jews?

The first two things. ^—^ question the children ask, he One is that there were, reported, is "How can a during the Nazi period, religion of love be a source of "some righteous and noble so much /latred.

Somewhere OMt there is a nice Jewish mother who may be hearing from her nke Jewish son that the editor of the Jewish Preas is in favor of streaking! I'm really not; but the nice Jewish son shouldn't be blamed for getting that imprestion. Here's how it happened. I was sitting in the office quietly reading an Incredible article by Irwin SuaU in the April, m* isaue of the AOL Bulletin. The article described the acUviUes of "The ChlMrea ef Gad." An offshoo^of the "Jesus Freak" movement, the Children of God was founded orginally In l»n as "Teens for Christ" by David Berg. Berg Is no teenager. He Is In his late flfllet and lays he It descended from German Jew. He is the leader of lome 3,MS young people who wear sackcloth and live in communet and who get from Berg a vIchHu rsoge of anti-lirael prepagaada. steeped In crude antl-8emltlsm. Berg preaches the tlmewom dribble that Ue Jews are responiible for their i ewB perseeatloB became they rejected Christ and that Iirael Is the tool of s "Jewlahdomlnaled America." Under Berg (who calles bimsdf Moses) the Children of God try to convey an Image of God-directed rebellion •gainst msterialiim and war. The Children are thoroughly alienated from family and

added it was Important to remember them "because they deserve it and also for our own sakes, so that we can avoid becoming paranoid, so that we do not think that all men are our enemies." He said the second point he makes is that no ideal should be Judged by what is done in its name. The abuse of Christianity or crimes committed in its name, he tells the children "means that we ought to be humble and careful. Men have misused science and democracy and reason and every other blessing as well." He said the second kind of question asked by the Jewish pupils concerns the meaning of Christianity and doctrines — such as one man's death "atoning for our sins." To such questions, Rabbi Riemer reported, he replies that he does not know and that, not being a Christian, he cannot teach Christianity. He said the procedure inHls religious school is to invite Christians to speak about Christianity. Afterwards, the rabbi reported, he explains the poaition of Judaism on the dogmas of ChrisUanity. Jews,

for example, "simply cannot comprehend that a man can be both man and God without Infringing on the pursuit of monotheism." Rabbi Riemer also cited some examples on how Jewish teachers sought through the centuries to resolve the problem of teaching history without teaching hatred. He cited the teachings associated with Purim, the holiday of antiSemitism. Nevertheless, Jewish children are taught at PurIm "not to hate and not to desire revenge but to laugh" at the "wonder of the fact that sanity and justice sometimes do prevail." He said that, "with great psychic insight, the tradition turned Purim into a day for venting one's hostilities through humor and one's aggressiveness through levity." He noted that Jews are commanded to dwell upon the Going Out of Egypt, not upon Egypt itself. during Passover, "for if you think too much about what happened in Egypt, you may go mad with despair and you may become warped with hatred. If the Jew thinks about the going out of Egypt, he will have hope and he will have faith. That is the key to all the studies we made of the Holocaust literature" at his school, he declared.

In April of 1889 the Russian Jews elected the following as officers of their congregation: William Rachman, A. Brodkey, A. Caplan, J. Marks, J. Milder, and I. Demeratsky. These men served for just one week, however, when "owing to some irregularity in the proceedings of the election last week" H. Goldberg, A. Caplan, M. Bellman, and I. Lipshetz were chosen as new officers. I. Oberfelder and Co., importers and jobbers of millinery and notions, were located at 1213 Harney in the 18808. The Society of Russian Israelites filed articles of incorporation in 189S. Aaron Ferer, Meyer Tatel, and Moses Schwartz were elected trustees. Samuel Novitsky was president and Marks Belman served as secretary of the congregation. Philip Gottheimer was proprietor of the Omaha Shirt Factory. Shirts and underwear were made to order at 1202 Farnam in 1876.

David Kolomitz, a fruit peddler, was arrested and fined $1 plus costs because his peddler's permit was not affixed to his wagon. It turned out that he was using a borrowed cart because his own was being repaired. Kolomitz was unable to pay the fine and so had to serve a jail term, leaving his wife and five children with no means of support. When Jews first began to come to Omaha from eastern Europe in substantial numbers, most lived in an area between 9th and 13th sh-eets, Harney to Center. A particular concentration was found on South loth between Harney and Leavenworth, where Jewish immigrants occupied nearly every house and several families often shared the same premises. The Jewish population of Omaha remained concentrated in this area until about 1905 when it began a movement to the north which continued for about ten years. After 1920, it began to move gradually westward. It has been estimated that the Jewish population of Omaha doubled between 1900 and 1914.

QUOTAS THE PREVAILING quota system in American academic institutions is really our own fault: With the help of Will Herberg's book, "Catholic, Protestant and Jew," we conned the public into believing that we are onethird of the population. Thus we are no longer entitled to privileges reserved for minority groups.

The Quality of Jewish Life By MARTY PIDGEON, PRESIDENT Jewiili Family Servicn DES MOINES - As we come to the end o( our fiscal year, some renections on the past year seem appropriate. I believe we have witnessed a special phenomenon here in Des Moines. As I look at our community, I see many things happening which seem to represent new beginnings: and I feel that living here at this time can be, (or all of us, an enriching experience. The Hebrew School is on a course which is giving a new quality of Jewish education that excites both the parent and child. The Iowa Jewish Home continues to grow and change in ways that can only dignify the lives of the residents and

honor the people who are rMponsible for the changes Under tlie loving guidance of the Rabbis, the congregations of the Synagogues and the Temple have established dialogue and a warm. respectful relationship. The Commanlty Action Commtttre has brought the members of our city, young and old, into a vibrant and intense conversation which demands introspective, analytical evaluation of our goals This questioning has opened new vistas of awareness for us as contemporary Jews searching for meaning and depth in our lives. The young Jews of Des Moines and the newcomers serve on the Federation Board and its commissions in growing numbers bringing new vitality to our institutions. Our community leadership is deeply aware and proud of the community's response lo our financial responsibilities toward Israel and our local needs. We have hired highly skilled and deeply comfnitted professionals lo serve us. I save for last, Jewish Family Services and what this last year has been for us. T^ plight of the Russian Jewish community has come to our doors, and our people have opened their hearts and homes with such love and feeling ttial even those of us who are always optimistic are stunned. The Jewish Family Services Board and many volunteers from the community at large have Riven

me great pride as I see daily the results of their efforts. Ulyan Carson has proven her capacity not only as a tireless worker but also as a compassionate, warm friend to our aged, troubled and young. The Board members speiMl many houri helping implement the programs and poUclrf which they create and demonstrate tbroagb Ihelr actions what a caring Jew can do to Improve (he lives o( others. I believe that our community has started to walk a new path thai can only lead us closer to God, and that we are planting seeds which will grow and bloom with great beauty to the delight of ourselves and our children. My hope (or (he next year is (ha( we wilt continiie (o walk this path and continue (o plant more seeds.

Falasha Jews Ruled Authentic NEW YORK (ZINS) - The chief Sephardic Rabbi of brael, Ovadiah Yosef, sUted at a press conference that the Palashas (the black Jews of Abyssinia) are authentic Jews, descendants of the tribe of Dan which was dispersed into exile after the destruction of the First Temple. Rabbi Yosef noted that this ruling was first made by Rabbi Yaacov Kaslrow some 330 years ago. He conceded that there are only 20,000 Falashas left in Abyssinia and that they are being subjected to an intensive miasionary campaign seeking their conversion to Christianity.

The. senseless slaughter a Quryai Shmona was outrage that must not permitted to happen again. These acta of terrorism continue because the terrorists are able to find sanctuary In several Arab countries, and the most effective way to stop it would be to convince these countries that it is not in their best interests to continue to harbor terrorists. Last year, the Senate approved a foreign aid bill with a $2.2 billion authorization and appropriation for emergency aid to Israel. Up to tl.S billion of that assistance can be an outright grant. The reat will be in loans or credits. I supported the bill — not only because of recent developments in the Middle East — but because of our long-standing moral commitment to Israel and its freedom. This positive American support comes at a critical , time for Israel — both politicaUyand miliUrily. The October eth war was the fourth war in the Middle East, and for Urael it was the most expensive. To meet the Arab attack, it cost Israel more than to billion, more than its entire national budget. The new foreign aid legislation will help make up that deficit without sacrificing Israel's military strength. II is important to remember that peace negotiations rest on one indispensable fact: a continuing balance of military power in the Middle East. Without that balance, there probably wouldn't be a Geneva peace conference, and there wouldn't be • permanent peace. That's why U.S. support of Israel la so important.

Jewish community leaders attending the first Luncheon Club meeting under the auspices of the American Section of the World Jewish Congress, Philip Klutznick, a member of the Governing Council of the WJC and a former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, said thai this feeling that 'they are on their own" and that their Jewlshness is threatened has increased after the Yom Kippur War.

0^

Klutznick, who was recently a guest of the South African Jewish Board of Deputies, lauded the Jewish educational system in South Africa. "They have the beat day schools," he observed, adding "I pray we will have the equivalent here." But, he noted, the uncertainty about the future among the South African Jewry is indicated by a sharp drop in the birth rate and the emigration of "(he first and second sons" in many families.

Speaking about the political and social question of apartheid, Klutznick contended that there is no clear cut Jewish attitude on this issue. "The.Jewish community is not 100 percent one way or other," he said, claiming that he had no way to measure Jewish activity against apartheid. According to Klutznick, South African Jewry, whic:h numbers about 118,000, it extremely generous as far ai fund-raising for Israel ii .concerned and their devotion to the Jewish Stale is tremendous. The Jewish community itself "has enormous resources as a community," is well organized and "by and large we can be proud of it," he said.

The family, first with four generations intact to resettle here since Soviet Jewish migration began in 1970, were brought to this city by United HIAS, a Jewish United Fundsupported agency. News and television cameras recorded the arrival of Shieva VIsitsky, 76, Roman Bromberg, 6(, Dvoira Yasnogorodskaya Bromberg, S9, Anatoli Viaiteky, 17, Alia Visitskaya Bergman, 21, Michail Bergman, 27, and Alexander Bergman, 2. Though tired, the family answered questions through an interpreter. When asked why she emigrated, Mrs. VIsitsky, Alexander's great grandmother, replied: "I want to be with my family. When 1 die I want to be buried where my chiMren can cry over my grave." Her daughter-in-law, Maria, wept when she got off the plane. She told the interpreter that she cried for Joy, that she was thrilled to be in America and that all her life she had hoped to come to this country. "Life in Russia is very difficult," she said. 'That is all I can, say, I have cousins who are still there."

OMAHA - "It was the most worthwhile four hours I have ever spent, "exclaimed Ginny Becker, a participant in the 'second JCC Heart Massage Clinic, describing the two, two hour sessions. Those attending the clinic learned how to give cardiopumonary resuscitation (CPR). This is a first aid technique utilizing mou(h-tomoulh resuscitation and closed chest heart maaasge. By employing CPR, a rescuer can maintain the life of a victim of sudden death due to a heart attack, drowning, and electric shock. The pr(^ram was sponsored by the JCC Aquatics Department under the guidance of Gary Javitch who is an instructor in the CPR technique. "What really made the course inlereiling," Mrs. Becker added, "was that the head of the medical panel, Dr. Speedy Zweiback, and his assistant Dr. Miles, answered all kinds of questions and concerns people had about heart disease. We also had an opportunity to practice CPR on a manikin."" Endorsed, by the Nebraska Heart Association, this course will be offered again in the Fall.

The Lady is a 'Shamus' ATLANTA — On Saturdays Connie Giniger goes to priaon. To attend shul. ^ The petite and chipper Mrs. Giniger is the guiding spirit Hid improvisor of a Sabbath service for witie 40 Jewish Inmates at the Atlanta Federal Penitentiary. "I'm sort of the shamus," she grins. Mrs. Giniger makes sure that everything is right" for Temple Yaacov, the prison's congregation that had worshipped only intermittently until the 48-year-old houiewife and Hebrew school teacher came along. She brings candles and grape juice (no wine is allowed) for the Sabbath blessings and arranges holiday celebrations. For Connie Giniger, mother of two grown daughters, her 18month involvement with convicts has been a deeply satisfying experience. A letter from an inmate to B'nai B'rith headquarters in Washington, D.C. asking for prayer books got her started. B'nai B'rith's director of community anj veterans services asked her lo look into it. Her first visit to the prison was an emotional experience. Normally 15 or so inmates occasionally attended the makeshift service. But word had spread of her visit. On that day 40 came. "Afterward, we talked. Or mostly, they talked," she recalls. "They wanted siddurs and books on Jewish history and etilture. And contact wilh Jews on the outside." Mrs Giniger asked Marshall Solomon, vice-president of B'nai B'rith's Atlanta Lodge, lo help her find volunteers lo visit (he prison. Mr, Solomon has since become the cantor for Ihe service and Ihe volunteer list has grown so long that a rotation schedule became necessary. Mrs Giniger, assisted by Atlanta Lodge and the AllanU Bureau of Jewish Education, has also developed a regular Wednesday evening "rap session " at which inmates, the lodge members and others "talk about anything and everything." Topical Jewish events are popular. News about the Yom Kippur war dominated the Sabbath aad Wednesday night talks during October. The inmates pooled funds to make their own UJA contribution. The inmates get a steady flow of bookf, records, greeting cards and letters from B'nai B'rith members and others in the Atlanta Jewish community. Mrs. Giniger also arranges for yahrzeit candles, Jewish calendars and anything else "that a Jewish community in prison wants and needs." She long ago shed any stereotypes she might have had about convicts. "They're ordinary humans, desperate for someone to care about them, to give them a sense of belonging," she says
