He states that after Ihe War ot 1813, there was an expansion Westward and the Jews became part of that expansion. In ISM. there were already tt Jewish communities in America.

cities as well as Jewish communities. With the opening of the Missouri River and its greater usage, a Jewish merchant class formed Jewish communitlet In the cities of Omaha. Council Bluffs and Sioux Cily. The building of roads brought Jews Into Wheeling. Ohio, and Indianapolis, Indiana, where they formed Jewish conununities. The bulkflng and usage of canals brought an influx of Jews into cities lilie Cincinnati and Dayton. The building and growth of railroads made cities iiice Peoria and Rock Island become a railroad slop and also a junction for the Jewish community. Another article which may be of interest is "The Education of Jewish Immigrants in Pittsburgh, 18621932" by Ida Cohan Selavan. She shows how the Jewish immigrants who came from Germany became educated in Pittsburgh In the middle of Ihe 19th century.

MtoaiyafaKtoartortaMof 8khM«fv aMttod to a neat tatonrtov.ltopitoliakoa Umtmt In the last ten years, Sakharov's personal struggle has managed to merge the academic world of a nuclear scientist with Ihe humanitarian alms of a concerned Soviet citizen. Championing the cause of peace and genuine detente.
the soft-spoken scientist has consistently pointed out that before there can be a lasting peace between the Soviet Union and the United States, there must be an end to any form of world ideological Imperialism, and a willingness within the Soviet Union'to live and let live indeflniliily with whatever pollllcal and economic system the United States and any other people choose for themselves. The right to free emigration in Sakharov's opinion is a choice clearly denied all Soviet minorities. In a statement issued to the National Conference on Soviet Jewry last May, Sakharov maintained that in his eyes the defense of only Jewish emigration would indicate a "narrowing of a much wider problem." But Sakharov has made numerous statements supporting the Jewish demands to leave. The phenomenon of Jewish emigration to Israel is one that "has meaning for all mankind and is of basic Importance in the tragic thousands-of-years history of the Jewish people." Sakharov wrote In "My Country and the Worid." recently published by Alfred A Knopf.
stant harassment and discrimination of Jewish activists in the Soviet Union pointed out, "I know that such circumstances as ethnic humiliation — sometimes covert, sometime^^^rt. and at other limes aihcHinling lo factual discrimiralion together with poor jbb prospects, very often compel people to make the decision to leave." Citing his personal contact with hundreds of Soviet Jews. Sakharov waraned of "the repressions and persecutions — which havo recently been stepped up." Sakharov admitted that the Panovs, long held prisoners by the Soviet authorities, were finally allowed to emigrate lo Israel because of the concerted united effort brought about by demonstrations and campaigns in the Western world. "Only pressure can compel those officials who are not entitled to deviate from their lnstrw:tlons to request further instructions from higher leadership; which is sometimes capable ol reacting, in an unconventional way."

Sakharov, witness to con-
While the Soviet Union was seeking most favored nation status from the United States and the U.S. Congress had overwhelmingly passed Ihe Jackson-Vanik Amendment
(tying economic concessions with the guarantee of emigration), Sakharov gave an interview to the Agence France Presse and emphasized the fact that the Amendment was an important "minimum condition" for the true realization of detente. One month later, the Soviet government began a massive press campaign against Sakharov. Within days numerous Soviet Jews sent petitions and addressed letters to Soviet authorities In Sakharov's defense. Rather than bow to Soviet warnings, Sakharov addressed a letter to the United States Congress outlining his views on the Jackson Amendment. "Give it support," he appealed, "rise above temporary partisan consideration of comntercialism and prestige and act upon the basis" ol its historical responsibility before mankind. Sakharov's outspoken role has taken Its toll. The man looks older than 54 and is often ignored by former colleagues afraid to associate themselves with Ihe leader of the Soviet Union's dissident movement. By nature a shy man, Sakharov's reaction to his winning Ihe Peace Prize was thanks and an appeal, "I hope this will be good for political prisoners in our country. I hope it will support the struggle for human rights in which I look part," he modestly finished.

ONLY 26 DAYS LEFT IN 1975 TO ESTABLISH YOUR INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ACCOUNT (IRA)... AND STILL GET THE TAX DEDUCTION. If you are self-enriployad, or woiking for an employer that does not have a retirement plan, you probably qualify for an IRA.
Selecting one or more of the investment vehicles that best suits your goal is quite a complicated task. The program should be coordinated with your present financial plans, and have flexibility for changes as you get closer to retirenDont.

ho Is A Jew?' — American, Israeli Jewish Views Differ on Converts ! queition o( "Who Is A Jew" to the tnoit complex and molt Important question In JewWiIKe. It has become more and more of a problem during the last century, during which
Jewry hat changed from an involuntary community, united by common practices and beliefs, to a voluntary community of people of widely disparate practice and belief. It has been made even more complex by the simultaneous existence of the State of Israel and a diaspora community.
since the question of what "Who is a Jew" has come to unites them and what will Ihean "who is a legitimate unite them in the future now convert to Judaism In the eyes of Israeli religious parties and arises. Unfortunately, this the Israeli Orthodox rabprofound question of attitude binate." and belief and practice and peoplehood has been reduced in the last few years to a ^Mid Imll polittnl Uii branch of Israeli politics
V^ Kindle These Ughts AtertA.
Jewish community knows that It is markedly different from that of the Israeli community. bAaMrfai,Jtin«feDinM •n hmlMd k JnM eoMIBBHtf IM HH ID M I
The Conservative and Reform movements have been dragged into the matter because it is their conversions which are being questioned. We of the Conservative movement Iteis find ourselves unwillingly involved in a political battle which can benefit no one and only harm Israel and Judaism. Thftwhappy fact is that the whole question of "Who is a Jew" is a non-Issue. There are probably no more than five or six ollm reaching Israel annually who have been converted abroad by Anterican Conservative or Reform rabbis. Any number of ways GDuM have been found to solve these Individual proMems in a humane and decent way without setting the whole nation by the ears. Conversion, indeed. Is a problem, but it is essentially a dia^ora problem rather than an IsriHI one. The rate of Intermarriage in the United States Is Mfi\ and the question of conversion Is a very serious problem. But anyone who knows anything about the organization of the American
by rabbis who were recognized In their country of residence was adequate to the situation. The proposed formula that conversion be according to halacha must be seen in the light of numerous indications that, by definition. Conservative conversions -i;. which are performed according to halacha - and Reform conversions - even if they are performed according to halacha - are unacceptable.
It ea «^ to MM « M In consequence, in the typical situations where the question of conversion arises in connection with a proposed marriage, the Jewish partner In the couple will turn to a rabbi whom he knows to conduct the necessary instruction and to arrange the conversion. This differs radically from the Israeli situation where an official rabbinate exercise f a monopoly on both conversion andnuuTiage. In short, the American Jewish community is different. The Incidence of intermarriage is different, the need for conversion in order to maintain Jewish families is different and the approach to the questkm must, therefore, be different. Israeli norms cannot be applied to American situations. The formula adopted by the Knesset some years ago which accepted conversion effected
hilmitaid In the light of the fact that the Conservative movement represents 51 per cent of the organized Jewish community in America, the Reform 25 per cent and the Orthodox only 21 per cent, this tactic must be seen as an unwarranted interference with the patterns of American Jewish life and an attempt to call into question thousands of conversions performed in America rather than as an attempt to deal with the five or six cases a year that confrant the Israeli authorities. It is thus mischievous in intention, political In motivation and unprincipled in operation. We in the ConservatHw movement have had to take a stand In this dubious matter for two compelling reasons. On the one hand, we have an ongoing concern with Israel t Continued on Page 10)

Old Market Shoe Store Appeals to All Ages When Robert Jacobson was working at Homer's in (he Old Market, he decided thai area would be the only place lo opSn a Kelso Earth Shoe Store, After all. when the 'negalive-heel" shoe (Irsl appeared in 1970. it appealed largely to the campus set. the younger people — and the Old Market appeal was likewise largely lo the same bluejeans-and-EarlhShoessct. Now the son of Jack and Helen Jacobson is managing Omaha's only Kelso Earth Shoe Store - at 1006 Howard in Ihe Market - but much has changed regarding both the appeal of the Karth Shoe and Ihe Old Market area, he notes Like the Market, which now appeals to people ol all ages, the Kelso Earth Shoe, which has added a number of new styles, also appeals lo all ages, he said, "There are obviously a lot of older people down
here. too." he said of the Market. "Am) more and more older people are trying the Earth Shoes Some of them lell me they won'l wear anything else now " Basically, the Kelso Earth Shoe features a design it claims is more in keeping with the actual muscle structure of the leg and fool. It's designed to go with "how people really walk." said Robert Besides the basic walking shoe in various colors plus half-boots and wooden sandals, the Kelso Earth Shoe now comes in tennis-style shoes, hiking boots, ladies' calf-length boots, apres-ski boots and also In styles for more dressy occasions. The Omaha store opened July II. Robert, a graduate of the University of Nebraska al Lincoln, is partners with his brother Dave, an attorney, and his cousin. Richie Jacobson.
