OMAHA-Seeking, a realistic goal fn (he face of the ever-increasing needs of the Jewish communities here and around the world, the leaders of the 1976 Omaha Jewish Philanthropies Campaign set their sights Sunday on a $2.2 million fund raising campaign. * The goal, set at a breakfast meeting Feb. 29 in the Jewish C o m m u n i t y Center., represents an approximate 20 Owen Meyereon, Moriey Zlpuraky, Mel Bornsteln and Bob Kully percent increase over the 1975 total of $1,969,040. after .about' listen to campaign discussion.

The $2.2 million figure is second in Omaha Philanthropies history only to the $3.2 million raised during the 1974 Israel Emergency (postYom Kippur War) drive. "We want to be realistic." acknowledged Richard H. Hiller, Philanthropies cochairman who conducted the meeting. But he also noted that the Omaha community needs and wants to do more locally, in Israel and elsewhere, With inflation and the increased needs both at home and abroad, the 20 percent Increase is required Just to provide the same services as

were available to the Omaha Jewish community last year, according to the campaign leaders Indicated and Louis B. Solomon, Federation executive director. Omaha Federation President Leonard Goldstein spoke of local needs, stating that, for example, a study of the Jewish Family Service Department is underway and that its results may indicate a need to expand JFS. .He noted, too, that the Coordinating Committee on Aging is moving ahead in its attempt to provide the most thorough planning possible for the Omaha community's large group of elderly.

Bookstore on Wheels By Barbara Staon OMAHA-What causes two New Jersey young adults to spend a year on the road selling Jewish books from a van? Richard and "Ellen Gertler. married last May, troup around the country, driving the AT1D Jewish Bookmobile,.a project of the Department of Youth Activities of the United Synagogue of America, based in New York. This interviewer spoke to them while the van was parked outside the University of Nebraska at Omaha Student Center last Friday. They had come after a series of "one-night ' stands through Pennsylvania. Ohio. Indiana, the southern United States to Kansas and Nebraska. •After Omaha-a longer stay than most because, on Fridays, they stay where there is a synagogue-they were going to Des Molnes. thep Minneapolis and other points north, before getting back to New York by the end of May.

Both graduated Rutgers University last May with major* In complementary areas—be in Hebrew Studies, abe In English, with a bent toward editing and publishing. This year on the road, surrounded by Jewish books and getting the chance to visit hundreds of Jewish communities, gives both of them an unusual perspective of Jewish life in America. Richard expect* to enter the rabbinate in the tall and Ellen will work as an editor. Their borne organization sends publicity about their arrival one month ahead of them to the Conservative congregation in that community, or to the Jewish Community Center. They are usually the guests of the community when they do stay more than one day. When there are both a university and a Conservative synagogue in a town, they park the van for several hours in both places, as they did in Omaha. The two Gertters love Judaism

and books, the perfect combination for two well-educated, committed people driving across the country to bring 3,000 books-a store on wheels-and set up shop in communities where such a variety of books on Jewish subject matter is not often sold in one place. Over the noon hour last Friday, several 'Shoppers came into the van (o browse, one woman leaving with candlesticks and a book on the Sabbath observance. The stock of over 3,000 books Includes topics such as Hebrew, history, Bible, Israel, philosophy, the Holocaust, customs and ceremonies, law and the American Jewish scene. . The Bookmobile also carries works of fiction and poetry as well as records, posters, ritual objects and children's books. The ATID Bookmobile seems lo be one more example of Ihc growing interest amongJews (and others) in Jewish education and cultuf al history.

Israeli Experts Help Others Despite Arab Efforts who It Bflhir the nwtlf. Write titan at: 9B0 ^ Washington. . ByI.L.Kenen Despite the energetic Arab campaign to excommunicate Israel economically and diplomatically, Israel's worldwide technical cooperation program is continuing in Latin America, Africa and Asia. And there are signs that some countries, which need Israel's skills and know-how, are seeking to restore former educational and economic association. Israel now has about 215 experts abroad — 35 in Africa, 110 in Latin America and 70 in ' Asia. That compares with about 300 when the program was at a peak during the late sixties. Some of the Israeli experts work in multinational projects sponsored by International agencies. The Israeli flag is not unfurled in such cases. Communication is a two-way street. Between 1,500 to 2,000 students come from abroad for periods of three weeks to three months to study at Israel's many advanced educational institutions, to solve problems of health and rural community planning. Atone time, Israel concentrated on Alia and Africa, but some of the TOrd World countries were forced to sever relations because of Arab oO power. Many of tfaese developing countries are now experiencing frustration and dbfflusknme&t because Arab eooasBk: asststsscs—such s s it i s — f a w n Islamic countries. Hie omen sink lower into squalor largely because of oO-toduced taflattao. - Israel now has projects in 20 Latin American countries — 12 of them government-to-government agreements. The remainder are multilateral, under the aegis of.such agencies as the OAS. Only two Latin American countries, Cuba and Guyana, have severed relations with Israel There are still g»*en African countries which quietly welcome Israeli experts, while some others - despite the lack of diplomatic ' relations—are eager to send their students to Israel to participate in projects which are

partially financed by Israel, and partially by other' government and intergovernmental agencies. And four Asian countries are open to Israel. Manifestly, the major interest is food, and •Israeli experts help dependent countries to control irrigation of water, where it Is plentiful, with dams and reservoirs and to use it economically in arid zones, by means of drip irrigation in which Israel has pioneered. IsradT courses help develop a centers and Each ssrvtcss s s tosn sportatkin for low-Income groups. Israel does not have the funds to extend grants and credits, as the Arab states do, but some private Israeli capital is at work* in some of these countries. In view, of the recent UN resolution denouncing Zionism as racist, it is worth noting that Zionist leadership was always interested in the well-being of African people. Theodore Herzl wrote in Altneuland before the turn of the century: "There is still one other question arising out of the disaster of the nations which remains unsolved to this day, whose profound tragedy only a Jew can comprehend. That is the African question. Just call to mind ail those terrible episodes of the slave trade of human beings who merely because they were black were stolen like cattle, taken prisoner, captured and sold. Once I have witnessed the redemption of Israel, my people, 1 wish to assist in the redemption of the Africans." Since Arab propagandists always insist that they lived at peace with Jews before Zionism, a brilliantly researched article by history professor David S. Landes of Harvard in the February Commentary is required reading. Landes, describing the poverty and misery of the Jews, writes: "The Jews of Palestine were designated as inferior (in law as well as custom), segregated by appearance and residence, subject to discrimination and abuse, and liable to sporadic and not infrequent violence. Lynching - that is, group assault — was not a common occurrence; but it happened often enough, and then with impunity, to constitute an immanent, imminent menace."

Israelisf Disturbed by Government Weakness HAIFA-Declsive leaderSnip is reflected in strong government. The policies adopted may not necessarily be the wisest or the best, but a government which can make decisions is certainly to be preferred to one which hesitates and vacillates and can't make up its mind. Thoughts like these are running through the minds of many Israelis these days. Including those most loyal to Prime Minister Ra*bin, as they reflect on ^a disturbing third alternative: a government which takes strong decision and then just as quickly changes its mind. Unfortunately there have been numerous instances of this In recent weeks. After due consideration of the enormrus losses being sustained b'/ the Government-owned Tfmna copper mines, and coming to the conclusion that the state of the world copper market made It impossible to operate In the black, Israel's Government decided to cut its losses, amounting to over a million pounds per week. Formal announcement was made that the Tirana mines would suspend operations forthwith. The town of Eilat, whose economy i s , In large part dependent on Ttmna's employees, refused to accept the decision. The miners themselves staged violent demonstrations, and In a matter ot days the government backed down. The matterwillbestudJed , Another example followed government action to prevent '* leakage of state secrets to the press. The Cabinet officially announced censorship on certain types of diplomatic activity.' publication of which was considered harmful to national security. The press rose up in arms and members of the Knesset spoke of the dangers of dictatorship. The Government backed down and "postponed" the curbs. In December the Cabinet announced a i'» per cent tax oh aQ buying and selling oi bonds. Six weeks later the Government changed its mind. •

The Income Tax authorities ruled that tax must be deducted at source on pensions paid to widows by the National Insurance Institute. When the injustice of the ruling elicited much criticism and even a court suit, the authorities reversed their stand. There are numerous Instances^ what one editor has called "admi&litratlve rethink." Sometimes the reversal does got come soon enough. A few yean ago, In the spirit of true Socialism, the Government Imposed a heavy tax on stock market transactions. Trw results were disastrous, not only for the stock market, but also for the'small Investor, and resulted as well In drying up sources of capital for industrial investment. Israel's financial world has to this day not fully recovered from that .blow. Last summer the Ministry of Finance announced with great fanfare what Is commonly called "The Reform", courageous overhauling of income tax provisions, hidden benefits, untaxed fringe allowances, etc. If strictly enforced it might have restored morality and ethics to this area of public life. But large groups of employees, who have the strike potential to paralyze the country, have been able to "postpone" application of the Reform to them. In other cases the basic principles of the Reform are bring nibbled away, subtly but surely, as new subterfuges replace the old falsifications. And the average Israeli asks

himself: If such Is the weakness of a Government In matters like these, how strong can it be in its international and diplomatic negotiations on matters which affect our very existence?

ByCANTORCHAlMNAJMAN Beth El Synagogue —• ' . . OMAHA-The music sounds familiar.-; .some of the lyrics are also recognizable.. and, of course, the characters-why, they're the main characters of the Purim story! But in a strange setting-British, no less: "Oom-pa-pa, Oompapa, that's how it goes, Hainan is cryinq while Mordecnai crows, Upon the gallows his comeHrppance shows, SwingingtoOom-pa-pa." You guessed it. It's an adaptation of the Broadway musical. "Oliver". The tunes are the same, but the story Is the one Jewish children await every year. This year, they'll have waited an extra month because of the Jewish Leap Year. But that's not that bad because it'll give Beth El's junior choir and the Talmud Torah's sixth grade an additional month to rehearse and polish their Purim "Oliver". The play was rewritten by New York lyricist Florence Balch and will be performed Purim eve (Monday, March 15) following the reading of the Book of Esther.

Visit to Sioux City by UNO's Archaeologist Is 1st Under Omaha Federation's Program • OMAHA-This city's stature as an archaeological resource center for the Midlands will take a big step forward jiext week when Dr. Joe Seger of the University of Nebraska at Omaha travels to Sioux City. Iowa, for a series of lecture-demonstrations. Here's the story: Dr. Seger is the CM. (Nick) Newman Vistlng Professor of Art History and biblical archaeology at UNO's School of Fine Arts. A s . one whose work has been in directing archaeological digs in Israel, Dr. Seger becomes the Midland's resource person in Biblical history and archaeology. His appointment at UNO Is supported by a grant from the National foundation for Jewish Culture to the Jewish Federation of Omaha. The grant's purpose is to stimulate Jewish cultural adtivttes In small and Interinedlate-size Jewish communities, such as Sioux City and Omaha, respectively.

Executive Director Stanley Bard, has become the first community group outside Omaha to take advantage of the of fer. "Dr. Seger provides a resource pf specific subject matter to our own and surrounding communities," said Howard Weinstein, director of the Omaha Federation's Community Relations, Committee and Plains States 'Anti-Defamation League - regional v director. Weinstein helped set up this first qj Dr. Seger's lecture series. The archaeologist.will be available -anywhere within a 500-mile radius of Omaha, Weinstein said. "He will be available to meet with any and all civic, religious and leadership groups In discussing various aspects of his work in the Holy Land." said Weinstein.

This Is all due to Newman's deep interest in making it possible for residents of such smaller communities to benefit from the treasures of the Jewish cultural heritage.

These lecture trips are. of course, in addition to his regular lecturing and teaching duties at UNO. He's already spoken at a Unitarian Church here. His next scheduled out-of-town trip will be to Blair. Neb.,- for a . March 15 program at Dana College, he said.

Therefore, Dr. Seger's knowledge and expertise in his field has been made available by Uie Omaha Federation of other cities. And the Sioux City Jewish Federation, under

Persons or groups seeking to arrange lectures by Dr. Seger are asked to contact the Omaha Federation. 333 South 132nd Street. Omaha. Neb.. 68154 (402-334-8200).

She provided sorely needed goods for the Continental Army A blgnil Minij was the matriarch of a tiis-, J \ tingutshed family in the early history y " \ of Georgia, and was a Revolutionary . patriot of classical note. Born in England in 1711, Abigail at age 22, left the security of Londontosettleinthenewcolonyof Georgia. She came with her husband, Abraham, two daughters, Leah and Esther, and a brother Simeon. ' ' Abraham was a man of means and followed mercantile pursuits in the new world. His name ii on the first real estate deed recorded in Georgia,.and his son Phillip was the first European child born in that colony. Abraham ' died in 1757 leaving his estate and business to the capable Abigail who increased the inheritance manifold during her long and fruitful life of 96 yean. In 1779, the American high command decided to recapture Savannah from the British. General Lincoln selected Phillip Minis and Lev! Sheftal to help the expedition. After the attack was launched, supplies were sorely needed and the commanders applied to Abigail for provisions.

'A tradition in American-Jewish homes for half a century K CERTIFIED KQSHEB

The keen old woman knew, the Continental Army to be a poor credit risk, but her beloved state and Independencefeame first. She "delivered the goods" without hesitation. The retaking of Savannah was an American failure, leaving Abigail in a very precarious position. The British suspected her loyalty. But before they acted against her, she managed to leave for Charleston, S.C. with her five.daughters. Her son, Phillip, early in the Revolution, was branded a 'Wile rebel" and blacklisted; he$ould never hold office under any Royal governor. Phillip Minis acted as Pay Master and Commissary General of the Continental Army in' 1776. He personally advanced $11,000 for supplies to Virginia and North Carolina troops. He later served as President of Mikvah Israel and as City Warden of Savannah.

Jews in Chicago during his early milieu! The "older bunch" present at the Center readily identified the period with their own vivid memories of the Thirties. Then Levin described his emergence as an American Jewish writer, who evolved into a staunch supporter of Zionism through' his initial visit to Palestine in 1924 and his subsequent experiences in World War II as a reporter in Europe.

As Levin put it, his "crime" was in being "too Jewish" in his writings, as compared to authors of Jewish origin who were and are considered merely American writers: It was felt in this corner that he took too much time describing the political beliefs and writings of most, of the other "American'Jewish" authors, which he characterized as internationalislfc and whose Jewish characters, he said, are often presented as stereotypes. Not only that, he, said, but these writers' views are by no means a distinct and positive Jewish expression, accepted as mirroring Jewish thinking and character. He cited at length his own ostracism at the bands of America's literati as an example of what he said was a concerted effort to obscure a strong, positive Jewish view. His personal vendetta almost overshadowed the real essence of his message. But when he spoke of the need for each Jew to work for the prevention of a second Holocaust, which could take place in Israel, there wss no question of the depth of his feelings and the. thinking which is reflected in his American Jewish writings.
