"They had been only names or voices on the phone" before, she said—people such as Viktor Polsky; Vladimir Markman, a political prisoner; Sasha and Yvgeny Levlch, who had been in a Siberian prison camp; and Irma Cherniack, one of the many who had gained freedom since Mrs. Goldstein visited Russia last year. She also got to meet famed Nazi-hunter Simon Wiesenthal. • She said that Glenn Rlchter, leader of the Student Struggle for Soviet Jewry, was "one of the most respected" leaders at Brussels. He's married to native Omahan Lenore Wolfson. And also present were the London 35's, ah activist group of women whom even.Mrs. Melr mentioned by name.

"They, man the Soviet Embassy in London. They are activists . . . They happen to be good-looking gals and they use their sex to advantage" to get publicity and to appeal to Soviet Embassy officials on behalf of Russian Jews, said Shirley. The Belgian government "couldn't have been nicer and I think the Jewish people owe a debt to their government. There wasn't another government in the world that would allow us to congregate as they did," she said. Mrs. Goldstein said that, considering the size of Jewish population of Omaha, this city had very good representation — three — as opposed to larger cities,like Dallas and Denver who each sent only one representative. In addition to Mrs. Goldstein, the Omahans were college student Gary Kinstlinger and columnist Wally Provost.

The major disappointment for this reviewer was the poor quality of the print itself. It had apparently been screened many times already and had been spliced just as often, causing the soundtrack to be muffled and the film to jump. Thus the English as well as the Yiddish was hard to understand in the early going.

—A continuing urte* of srtldBt to better acquaint you with your Federation.

A 'Behind'The-Scenes'Agency By Barbara Simon The traditions and values of Jewish living: how does the Department of Jewish Education help our children learn them? Last week, we traced the evolution of the Bureau of Jewish Education to today's Department of Jewish Education. When it was )he Bureau, it operated a community-wide Talmud Torah. But then, as we noted, the separate synagogues began developing their own Identities and corresponding programs. Our children would learn Judaism according to the tenets and beliefs of their particular synagogue-be it Orthodox, Conservative or Reform. That development led to today's Department of Jewish Educatta-an Agency of the Omaha Jewish Federation which tastes and betos fund various educational activities throughout the community. As you can see. it is a more or less "in-the-background" agency-our children today learn Judaism from their synagogue teachers and from other non-synagogue programs which the. Department of Jewish Education helps support, through funding and educational services. • "Funding" and "educational services" may be drysounding words—but they are the stuff of which education today is made. The Department seeks to support Jewish learning in general and to advance it where it can. The Department is a professionally run agency. A little luck and some happy circumstances allowed it only last year to hire its first professional-director-Rabbi S. Daniel Breslauer, who also is the Department's only staff member. The major part of bis salary Is being paid by the University of Nebraska at Omaha, where be Is a member of the faculty of the Department of Philosophy and Religion. The Humanities it tnathelpsdbriaghlmraUNOeltaws him to divide his time wen teaching there and planning for the Department. His assumption of the Department's administrative duties has given both relief and guidance to Steven J. Riekes. the Federation's Education Committee chairman. As you will see in this article, the Department helps support Jewish education in several areas. Here are those areas: 1. TEACHER-TRAINING. Out of its $61,000 budget, an appropriation of {4,000 is spent training teachers in new methods and materials to make • classrooms better learning environments for our children. The Department shares a nationwide concern for the quality of Jewish teaching. Without good teachers, there is less "good" learning. Charlotte Zipursky, Riekes' predecessor at the Education Committee helm, comments that Omaha is late in coming to its new emphasis on Jewish education and needs to put an even higher priority on it. Teacher-training is seen as one way to make learning better for our youngsters. The movement in public education toward individualized instruction and "open classrooms" has spurred the Department to provide learning experiences for teachers, so they can keep up with what's new and useful in teaching methods. The Department has brought in "teacfaeHeachen"profeisfc^edutatorawbow business it lstolnstniddjatroom teachers m new ways of reacjjing, Inspiring and teaching the chfldrea They've conducted workshops and teacher tMtrvtce days. And there have been several outstanding classroom teachers from other cities who've come here to tell our teachers about the new instructional materials, books and learning packets plus special programs that they use in their schools. All these things make the Jewish classroom a more exciting environment for the youngster. Knowing about these materials and techniques gives the teacher of Jewish subjects more from which to choose in. planning for the students. The "learning can be fun" concept has filtered all the way to religious education from Montessori andPiagetsolongago! Incidentally, not all the training offered by the Department is presented in Omaha. Some teachers are sent to institutes in other cities to receive specialized instruction, which they can then share with their fellow Omaha educators. The education directors of each school-Stanley Mitchell of. Beth El Synagogue, Rabbi David Levin of Beth Israel. Rabbi Barry Weinstein of Temple Israel and Rabbi Jack Zelasko of the Jewish Day School-are eager to embrace new methods of teaching and more exciting environments for children. Upcoming on the local scene is another form of teachertraining. A Passover teach-in is planned during Spring break, with sessions for their peers led by some of the best Omaha Jewish studies teachers.

Purim Program Shows Temple's Determination OMAHA - Rabbi Barry L Weinstein referred to it as the "maintenance of the continuity of program throughout the school year." To the parents of the Temple Israel youngsters attending Saturday and particularly Sunday School at the Jewish Community Center, that means simply the determination to teach Judaism to their children whether or not they are in the confines of their own synagogue; Of course, they haven't been, thanks to last May's tornado which heavily damaged the Temple at 69th and Cass. Since that time, the Community Center at 132nd South of West Dodge Road has become "Temple" to the congregation's 675 families. It hasn't been easy, of course: having a "mmiftn msrwit home" ft^ff* you can't l e a v e classroom equipment, books and other items In the "classroom". The items must be moved and stored In other locations throughout the Center because other groups will be using those same "classrooms", the rabbi pointed out.

It was part of the Temple's annual Purim Carnival which was staged, not in the Temple's Social Hall and classrooms, but in the JCC's Auditorium and Social Hall.

Then were games to be played - "Hit Hamen", in which the evil prime minister of ancient days looked surprisingly Uke Dr. Frankenstein's monster; a bean-bag throw and the casting of Lots, among others. There were costumed little kings and princesses and downs, as well

as costumed "actors" in Burton Bright's and Barbara Taxman's fifth grade class. The fifth grade offered four productions which not only taught and raised questions about the evil Hamen but also told about the American Jewish relationship to great American leaders. There also was a "preview" of the next big Jewish holiday — Passover: selections by the junior choir and an original poem, "Hitler, the Holocaust and Hamen" by Debbie Somberg, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ramon Somberg. The choir was under direction of Sandy Singer. And there was one other element no Purim Carnival is without - Hamentaschen. the delicious pastry memento of the evil man's thwarted attempt to destroy the Jewish people. The carnival, the costumes, the Hamentaschen - all served to underscore the eff o r t s of o n e Omaha congregation to provde Jewish education to its children in a difficult year. —Richard Pearl.

WE, delegates assembled at this Second Brussels Conference on Soviet Jewry, representing Jewish communities in every continent, declare to our brethren in the Soviet Union: TO are with you in your struggle. We share your faith. We honor your courage. You are not alone! Together we work towards the same future, identify with the same experiences, respond to the same memories. The Jewish destiny that unites us is one and inseparable, our common tradition indestructible. WE salute those from every sector of society, every race and religion - in government, parliament, science, law, education, the arts, labor, commerce and industry— who .have Joined with us in the cause of the Jews of the USSR. WE call on ail men and women of conscience, and all ' governments cherishing humanitarian ideals, to speak out on behalf of Jews of the USSR. We have the right and duty to say to them, a generation after the Holocaust, that they dare not remain silent in face of the renewed threats confronting the Jewish people. History has taught that these threats Imperil human rights everywhere. WE abhor and condemn anti-Semitism in the Soviet Union, whether under the guise of prejudice towards the Jewish religion or false accusations against Israel and Zionism. We state that the equation of Zionism and racism by the Government of the Soviet Union and other regimes is a calumny against Israel and against Jews everywhere. Those who exploit this mockery of truth give aid and comfort to the enemies of liberty, peace. Justice and human brotherhood. WE declare that Jewish people, deriving immeasurable strength and spirit from th&State of Israel, shall resist and overcome those who seek to thwart its rightful aspirations. WE have listened to the messages of our brethren in the Soviet Union, declaring their determination to emigrate to Israel and follow the 100.000 Jews from the Soviet Union who have succeeded in reaching the Jewish state. WE proclaim our faith and pride in their fortitude, which adds new depth to the Jewish spirit. WE have heard the statements and commitments of delegations of Jewish communities from throughout the world.

What better way can a - substitute correspondent describe another good turnout for the always enjoyable day of good company with friends and friends to be. Dr. N.J. Schuerman, chairman of the Intergrated Task Force of The Omaha Public School System, spoke on the highly controversial subject of school integration. Dr. Schuerman, touched on every aspect of Integrating the schools and the problems facing the Omaha Schools in trying to accomplish what the courts have ordered. During the question and answer period which ran way over the allotted time, many questions were fielded by Dr. Schuerman,, touching not only on Intergratlon, but the forced busing as well. He proved himself to be a very able speaker and a informed person on this very highly controversy subject. Dr. Schuerman touched on insight as to what the city of Omaha can expect in regards to the many different ways our citizens may handle themselves during the coming school year. It all depends on the public not letting their emotions overcome the true meaning of and the best way to handle Integration during the coming school year. . He was so well received that a vote of thanks should be given to Earl Siegel. our program chairman, for being able to continue to obtain such outstanding guest speakers. Marvin Treller informed the group that, as in the past, he will have books of 10 tickets for the 1976 Omaha Royals Baseball season for $7 per book. What an inexpensive way for members to enjoy an American Association Baseball game on a hot night. Marvin will bring books to the next meeting. Everyone enjoyed another sumptious luncheon prepared by Mollie, Delman, Allan Turchin. ably assisted by Elsa' Kahn. It was such a pleasure for all present to be greeted, and then led in both the Hametze the Benchen by Canter Aaron Edgar, who just returned with, Mrs. Edgar from their month stay in Israel.

This weeks volunteer girls were the four birthday cake hostesses and Helen Newman, Rosalie Greenspan, Ann Lehman and Elsa Kahn. Thank you girls, again and again. President Sam Zweiback introduced two new members, Aaron Brookstein, who was present as a guest as a prior meeting and liked it so well that he is now a full fledged member, and Sam "Shemie" Osterman, a lifetime resident of Omaha and a retired mailman. Also taking a bow was Merrie Kutler, who was a guest of Nate Gimple. We also had the pleasure of having Morris Rosen with us. Morris joined our group about two years ago and, shortly after joining, moved to Onawa, la. He has kept up his membership in the OldTimers and made it a point to come in for this particular meeting. We hope, that he can find time to come in a bit more often. Due to both Mollie and Allan Turchin being out of town-for a week, our next meeting will not be until March 30, when our guest speaker will be Phil Sehneiderman, director of administration of the United Way of Midlands.
