Caltaral Cemailttee aetei that Ike coMniltee "has brsaght perfermers, films, lectarera, classes and maay ether pregrami to and tor Ihe ENTIRE Jewish CemDiaoKy. Oar goal Is to maintain sad prefflole our Jewish Ideality, caHurc aad heritage of learafaig." It says the committee has had representation from Beth El, Beth Israel and Temple Israel; B'nai B'rith; Hadasaab; Mliracchi; National Council of Jewiah Women; 'Pioneer Women; American Jewish Committee and Ihe Federation in creating ita programa. The petition expreases the faer the center plan will relegate the cultural committee to providing only edocatiooal claasea, and will deny the Jewiah community "a voice In ita own cultural acUvities." The Qiltural Committee's plan would have a chairman appointed by the Federation president. The chairman would then appoint six other pafiona to serve aa committee members. Each •synagogue would appoint four delegatea, the JCC eight delegatea and all other sponsoring Jewish organizationa two delegates. Committee membership would include Omaha's rabbis and cantors. Each member would have one vote. The Committee would have a professional staff supervised by the Federation executive director and would be given office and program space by the JCC. Only programs "of special Jewiah intereat" would get Federation funda; all others "must be self-supporting," the proposal says. The ComnlUee wsiild bave rive lebcommltteet — for observances and exklbllii Jcwitb learning; lectvrei. operlmenti and ipecisl eveaU: perfermlag aita aad creative arts. Fees charged for lectures, performing and creative arts events would be"unlform for al) Jews In Ihe communty" but the performing and creative arU subcommittees could also provMe programs "not of particular Jewish Intereat" which poeiibly
would have separate fees for Center and non-Center members, The proposal of the center board, which seeks a broad program for its membership, would maintain the two separate committees — the Cultural and the JCC's Performing and Fine Arta committees. The Qiltural Cpmmlttee's activitea would include, but not be limited to, providing "Jewish educational classes" and "community-wide educational events." It would share ilaff personnel with the Center's committee and would charge fees that would be the same for Center members and non-members. The Performing and Fine Arts Committee would provide theatre, fllma, lectureis, exhibitions, handicrafts, dance and mwlc. Its tee structure would provide for member and non-member fees, at the committee's diacretion. The JCC plan provides for Joint sponsorship and presentation of events "utilising the professional staff of the Center as needed." It uys that the executive director of the Center would inaure efficient utilization of staff members "and that any difficulties or problems" would be reconciled in an expeditious manner."
The White Houae said that their meeting involved a "general discussion" of the Middle E^st situation Continuation of American military support for Israel had been forecast in advance of Rabin's visit. Israel asked for $1.5 biilioo annually in military aasistance for the next five years. A high Israeli official told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, however, that the kind and amounb, of ornaments are under diacussion, not theh- current coab.

Our motto might be. if you wiU. 'How can we help? — Let me look into your problems.' I think that is the kind of atUtude that will go far in making our services viewed poaitively by the community that we work with. "U they feel that we are open to their interests and that we are going to react to their interests, they will support us. If you think about yourselves as people, that is how we all react — if someone is Interested in us we tend to gjtvt our best." Rubinstein also urged sta0 members to consistently evaluate their own personal and professional performances.

Inside Judaica By Dr. Frederick Uchmaa •••c«Mvt lemr, iKTclasMaia Judaica Q. Why S73S?
A. Ilw Jewish calendar, according to which we now live In (he year 573S, la based on the,"Era of the Creation," (MInyan la-Yesirah) according (o which the years are cakulated from the creation of the world (Anno Mundi). Tradition, quoted in the name of Hai Ben Sherira Gaon (died 103t), informs us that the present Jewish calendar was introduced by the patriarch Hillel II in the 670 Era of the SsleucMes (411* Era of the Crcatton — 3SM0 C.E.) The "Era of the Creation" according to the Encyclopaedia Judaica, came into popular uae only atwut the ninth century C.E. In various rabbinical compulations the "Era of the Creation" began in the autumn of one of the years between 3763 and S7U B.C.E. From the 12th century on, it became accepted that tha "Era of the Creation" began in 3761 B.C.E. and, to be exact, OB October 7 of that ^aar. Thia means, of course, that according to the calculations of the learned rabbis, the world was created in this year, and on that exact date, Man came into existence. The calendar year vm therefore corresponds to the Jewish year of 573S-36. The rsbUnical computation is founded on synchronisms of chronological elements expressed in the Bible and cateulatlons found in early post-biblical literature. It Is lalaresthig te note that Christhm theologians fai the I7th eeatary began ilmilar compatatloas based on the accoanti of Ike Seek of Gcacsl*. They tried to work their way back from kistarkal eveaU la the Flood and ftaaUy to the dale of the Creadan. A British prelate by (be name of Uasher who later became Archbishop of Armagh, the Encyck>paedia Judaica reports, calculated in his "Annals of the Ancient and New Testament" (published in 16W) that the worid was created in «M B.C.E. The Master of Catherine's College and later Vice-President of the University of Cambridge, Dr. John Ughtfoot, in a book with the improbable title "A few and new observations on the Book of Genesis, the most of (hem certain, the rest probable, all harmless, strange snd rarely heard of before," stated that Man was created on Ihe »rd of October, 40(M B.C.E. at« o'cktck in the morning, While there remains a difference of some 2S0 years between UM Independent calculationa of the rabbis and the Christian (heohjgians, the proximity of their datea leaves one impressed, considering the enormous scope of difference that la poasiUe.

tll€^€Mlit€>r OUn NEIGHBOM IN NEED With the High HoUdayt upon us, the thoughts vt the Jewish community turn increasingly to the question of life, and the future. We celebrate the gift of life, hope for its continuation, and remember those who have departed. Many of us, as w^ give thanks for our good fortune, pause for a moment to consider our neighbors in need.
. ' '
This is also the time ol year when our atonement and remembrances of departed loved ones are accompanied by acts of charity. The Jewish community has long been characterized by its concern both for its Jewish brethren, and for the needs o( the greater community in which we live. It is in this latter regard which I address you. Last year approximately nO,000 Greater Omaha residents were served by one or more of the 40 local agencies whose programs were made poasible by public support of the United Community Services annual United Appeal Campaign. These are vitally needed services lor the aged, youth and the very young, familict in trouble, the poor and the handicapped. Some of those who were helped were members of our own Jewish Community ^ all were our neighbors in need.
The concern of Jews for Jewish needs must always remain high in our consciousness and yet as residents of this community; w^ich is our home, we share the responsibility for helping to alleviate the suffering of any person in need. The programs of the Visiting Nurse Association, Disaster _ and blood services provided by the local Red Cross, Meals on Wheels for the Aged, temporary housing and assistance by the Salvation Army, programs available through the Retarded Children's Association, readily available family and personal counselling through the Family Service Aasociation and other counselling agencies, and even our own Jewish Family Service and Jewish Comminiity Center, are helped through a onee-a-year-gift to the community-wide United Appeal which begins later tliit month and runs through October. ^ ye deeply appreciate the ||lWrous support of the EMhh community in the past ' and their affirmation of the worth of our program.

They wanted to set up their own democratic organizations, and refused to be dominated by old-timers who patronizingly thought they knew what was best for the Russians. They were rnade of a different breed, these new immigrants who dared defy all the might of Moscow in their struggle to reach Israel. We deplored the wave of pornography sweeping Israel, in press and film, all in imitation of the moral corruption of societies overseas. Do we always have to copy the worst?

Crushed also were aspirations for democratic government and equal righto for all citizens. And so the tide of emigration from Europe to America Increased dramatically and the United States began to become the melting pot, the refuge for the oppressed. Jews became part of the general movement of people, most of them young and strong, many fleeing from countries vvhere the number of Jewish marriages was severely limited. Rufus Learsi has written that "In this movement the Jews became an integral part of the great American tide that rose and flowed west, foUowbig the courses of the great rivers, toiling over the mountain Iralla, and conquering the prairies and forests. With remarkable speed they threw off the yoke which the ghettos of Europe had laid upon their bodies and souls and Joined in the American Adventure."

Among the possibilities being discussed are a new exchange rate for the tourism Industry and reduced prices in'restaurants and shops for tourists paying in foreign curicncy. Health Towisni We Israelis have sometimes been accused of exhausting our guesta out of a desire to show them everything. Maybe so, but we also offer tourists a place to unwind after the touring, where they can pamper themselves with health and beauty treatments. Everyone loves a hot bath and maybe that la why Israel's natural spas are becoming so popular. Israel's spas already enjoy an excellent reputation in Europe, and the Ministry of Tourism Is now making intensive efforts to bring the advantages of Israel's spa vacations before the American traveling public.

ByBenGallob A Los Angeles Reform rabbi has reported an exchange of visits by members of his congregation with members of a local Moslem Mosque as evidence that "Jews and Moslems can communicate" and that "our respective religions can help in Ihe process." Rabbi Alfred Wolf disclosed that 20 members of the Los Angeles Moslem community recently attended a Friday evening service at his Wilshire Boulevard Temple and that, on the following Sunday, a group of his congregants were guests at the Moslem Mosque. Rabbi Wolf said that, after the worship services, the Jewish congregants and their Molslem guests spent more than an hour discussing the beliefs and practices of their respective religions. He added that it was layman'a conversation, with the Moslem Imam and the rabbi "available as resources only when a question stumped the lay people." The rabbi said the Moslem guests were mainly Egypliana, Syrians and Palestinians who had settled in the United States and that the Jewish hosts were "well aware" that the sympathies of their quests in the Middle East conflict were on the Arab side. They wore "equally aware of our

connmKment to Israel," Jie_ added. ~ These differences, he reported, did not hamper the interchanges about Jewish and Moslem festivals, "our belief in God and the events of the past." During the discussions, he reported, "we became aware of how much we really had in common," adding that he had le&rned "the informed Moslem seems to be well aware of the continuity between Judaism and his own religion. There seems to be a proud identification with Abraham, our common ancestor, and with the prophets of our Bible." Rabbi Wolf asserted that "there was real communication that evening and informal discussions continued long after the formal discussions broke up." On the following Sunday, the congregants who tocrfc part in the synagogue gathering were guests at the Mosque for its morning service. He said a conversation similar to that between the Jews and the visiting Moslems at the synagogue took place between Ihe Moslems and the visiting Jews at the Masque, "which lasted will Into the afternoon."

B'nai B'rith Helping Push Disaster Plan WASHINGTON A coalition of labor, civic and religious organizations sparked by B'nai B'rith has begun a natipnwide campaign -for a federal dbaster insurance program that would automatically cover victims of all types of natural catastrophes. The Coalition in Support of Comprehensive Disaster Insurance Legislation that grew out of two B'nai B'rith* sponsored national conferences met August 21 in the headquarters of the American National Red Crou to plan a letter-writing and data-collection drive for legislation stalled in Congress. The legislation would create a National V Catastrophic Insurance Fund : to cover victims of windstorms, floods, earthqfuakea, blizzards and all oUier forms ' of natural disaster. The fund would be financed by a sur, charge of not more than five
per cent on real estate and personal property insurance premiums. The legislation was introduced early last year by Rep Daniel J. Flood (D-Pa.) and Sen. Richard Schweiker (R-Pa.) after the 1>72 devastation of the East Coast by Tropical Storm Agnes, the costliest storm in U.S. history. The Jewish community of Pennsylvania's Wyoming Valley suffered heavily from Agnes, with more than 1,400 families having their homes or businesses and community institutions damaged or destroyed. Since then other Jewish communities in the Midwest and South have been struck by tornadoes and flooding. B'nai B'rith's Disaster Committee aided in the recovery of disaster victims. But experience showed that current relief efforts by government agencies and private organizations weren't

enough to meet the needs. "The cumbersome government response to the disaster did not alleviate the frustration and dog^r that characlerized victims after the floods," said Perry J. SherU, a Wilkes Barre attorney and victim of Agnes who became chairman of the Disaster Committee.

'Everyman's University' Is Pianned for Israelis Tens of thousands of Israelis who are unaUe to attend regular university courses will be able to study at the Everyman's University, financed initially as a pilot project by the Keren Hanadiv Rothschild Foundation. The Israeli Cabinet adopted unanimously the propoMi of Deputy Premier and Education Minister Yigal Alkm to accept a $5 million grant from the Rothschild Foundation, over a period of five to seven years, as a pilot proJAt. Allon said that the Government would contribute by lending the services of educational TV (also created by the Rothschilds) and the Education Technology Institute. The Cabinet, said Allon, had made a point of voicing its gratitude to th.> Rothschild Foundation for its willingness to support this project which would bring a "virtual revolution" in adult education.

Reform Jewish Teens Seek Better Quality of U.S. Life ByDeaGalM (Cafyright 1174. JewUk TELEGRAPHIC Agncy. la.) Reform teenagers participating in an intenaive study program at a New York summer camp strongly support Urael but most o( them intend to remain in America and therefore support as strongly—and perhaps more strongly— improvement in the quality o( American Jewish life. Those parallel teenage slancta have emerged from the first of two sessions of the program at the Kutz CampInstitute at Warwick, a facility of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, the Reform congregational organization. The first session was held from June 26 to July 19. The second, which began on July 1», ends Aug. Il The program Is sponsored by the National Federation of Temple Youth (NFTY), the teenage affUUte of the UAHC.
A total of 300 teenagers, the camp's capacity, attended the first scMioa and 300 are attootog tba second. There were 21 Israeli men and women among the students and teachers at the first session. The carrlcalaaa ef the NFTY Academy ceveri a wide rsagc of Jewkb sladles rabbiaic llteratare, HasidisBi, Jewish history. Mlshaah, biblical canmtalary and eiegeds, Hebrew, Yiddish IWeratwre and the Jewish commuaUy. Leadership training ilsa It •ftered. The teenagers spend four hours daily in class and the rest of the day in homework or optional learning activities, according to Rabbi Allan Smith, UAHC camp and program director. The Academy fee is I3S0 for each semester. Teachers at the Academy have cited a "new en-
thusiasm" for Jewish learning emerging among the IS to l«.year-old partklpHit. The (seaaflars w«r«aaidto be seriously seeUng to dlacover their Jewish past and their identity as Jews now. Rabbi Smith said "this la a new positive young Jew." He added that, like (heir parenU, young Jews now "are confronted with an identity crisb. Their parents identified through the 'guilt Judaism' of anti-Semitism and the Holocaust. Both generations have found new meaning In their Jewishness through Israel." But, he declared, at best, ten percent of American Jewish youngsters have been reached by the "mystique" of Israel through summer programs and annual visits. He uid some would go on aliya but most are beginning to ask, "What does it mean to be an American Jew?" "la the long raa, Israel caaaat gaaraalee sorrlval •(
a vigoraas and neanhigfal Jewish life In Amcrkan," said Dr. Eugene Mihaly, professor of rabbinic literature and homiletics at the Hebrew Union CollegeJewish Institute o( Religion, the Reform seminary. One of the teachers at Ihe Academy, he added, "we mail provide answer* for Jews living here, psrilcalarly ear yaaag peopte." David Sandmel, 17, of Cincinnati expreaaed the view that "a lot of young people are not certain about their Jewish identity. Unfortunately, those who come from a classical Reform background leave somewhat confused since, hi many cases, this is their first exposure to the richness of ritual learning." He said he felt the campers would want lo continue such activities at home but also Ihal "it will not be an easy Job to sustain the intensive learning process to which we are exposied." He is the son of Dr. Samuel Sandmel, pr-
ofessor of Bible and HellenisUc lilersture at the Reform seminary. Daryl Messinger, It, president of her NFTY group and a teacher Ui his religious school in Scarsdale, said, "I have frequently asked myself what kind of a Jew am I—a whole Jew or Just a Rosb Hashana Jew? Like others of my age, I wont to leom." For l(-year-old AaUa Brawn of WiiUamsport. WesI Vs.. keeping her Jewish ideatliy has been an uphOl s(raggie. Cam lag fram a cammuBlty of U Jewish families, she cUed the caatras( be(ween her depeadeace a( heme an s(adent-rabbis. vahiBleer teacben sod boohs wUh the oppartanily to ttady a( (fee camp with experienced teachers. Reaffirmhig her inteoUoo to remain JeMsh, she sakl, "I have dated many non-Jews but I would never marry out of the faith. When I am ready, I want to raise a slroqg Jewish family."
A rabbi leaching his sixth year at the camp cautioned that the new quest for identity and learning did not necessarily indicate a youth commitment to the synagogue. "While many of these young people have a deep loyalty to a rabbi, teacher or youth advisor, many still view the synagogue as an institution, an empty shell," said Rabbi SUnley M. Davids of Springleld, Mass., chairman of Ihe youth committee of the Central Conference of American Rabbis, the association of Reform rabbis. Some of the yotmg campers were skuUcaps and fringes and many speak about keeping kosher and participating in Ihe ritual expreaslons of Judaism, but Dr. Mihaly said, in comment, "the adaption of a more colorful ceremonial life is not a return to dogmatic Orthodoxy, since the eiemeni of freedom of choice still remains."
Fathers and Sons Israeli Style ' ByRUTHgEUGMAN Art Goldberg came to Israel in 1M8 from Canada •• a volunteer with MACHAL, the corps of foreign fighters who helped Israel establish its independence. Today, be is Ihe owner of a successful travel and tour business. So far, (here is nothing unusual in his story. Many have found their way to Israel, a country built by immigrants for immigrants. Many have sunk Iheir roots here, raised their families and made their imprint and contribution. Art Goldberg also fought hi the Vom Kippur War where he served first as an ammunition driver for the artiUired corps and then as a driver for the paratrooper corps. He served for 14S days, most of it hi Africa. Alto, not so unusual for a country hi which — both during and after Ihe war — most of the able male population were moMHxed. They had t* be hi a eaaatry I whkh dapeads se mach oa Ms ' reservists, •• asiag all avaflabie rti—rui. ; Yet what makes bis story 'Mqoe to Israel is that not >,«aly was be servbig, but so IHlMna his son, who is in a ^•pta unit.

"I've kten released off and on," is Wfi wayjie puu il.
He is now back for another Ihirly-five days, comes over to my home frequently to bring regards from my 19year old son hi whose unit be also serves. His ewB SOB is gafaig iato (fee army sooB. "Caa yea imagiat HT" be says. "Both of as wUI be hi BBlfona at Ihe saae Ibne." Staice reservists serve thete days for al least one to two months, Ihe odds are that more and more fathers will be continuing to be in Ihe Army logether with Iheir aooa. "Makes you feel young," is Ihe way one father described it. "Doesn't help me sleep too well al night," commented one mother and wife of such a team. Yet, both fathers and sow report and serve their required time, aware that such combinations are necessary to preserve Israel's security. "We hope," said one mother "that now, with Ihe separalion of forces agreement, with the talks in Geneva, thai my husband will be called up leas. "Nat aaly does kit basiaess salfer tram this caathynl plagpsaghig bach aad fsrlh

It is Be( pleasaal bavfaig my hashaad away laa." Not only are fathers and sons finding themselves in the Army al Ihe same time, but so are other relatives. "I was stunned," reports my neighbor, "to meet my nephew, ray okler brother's son, hi the shower-room al my baae." This neighbor, who is a veteran of the Sinai Campaign, the Six Day War and Ihe Yom Kippur War, lelU roe how he kMhed at hia nephew and al his friends and how "Ihqr an looked so young, still wel beUnd Ihe ears."
