This meeting — open to all young couples age 35 and under - Is the result of an informational gathering earlier this year which drew bverWyoungpeople.

Noting that workers In the keynoter, Pacesetter, Leadership Gifts and Initial Gifts Divisions will be honored to meet with Nesher at the Tuesday, March 30, 5:30 p.m. dinner meeting, Hiller and Meyerson said (hat, "Again In Omaha we are privileged to have as our wprker-tralner a man who has not only won recognition throughout the Jewish world for his ability and service but who also has worked In many of the areas for which we must continue to raise funds from our Omaha Jewry." Nesher served as an active underground fighter when the Nazis occupied his home town In Rumania, made his way to the American Military Zone in Germany toward the end of the war, and was a driving force in the work of organizing the broken and displaced Jewish survlyors of Nazi terror.

National Jewish Leader Returns to Des Moines By Rose Hoffman DES MOINES - Faye Schenk's presence at the annual Des Molnes Women's Federation Spring Luncheon on March 17, was uniquely appropriate as Phyllis Cytron, wife of Des Molnes Rabbi Barry Cytron of Tifereth Israel synagogue, noted In her Invocation before the group of more than 150 Jewish women a s s e m b l e d atop the panoramic Holiday Inn tower restaurant hi downtown Des Molnes. March 17, was Shushan Purim, "a day of feasting and gladness, of sending Shulach Monos to one another and giving gifts to the poor," Mrs. Cytron said. "In 1976, It Is also a time for celebration," she continued. "Though Esther may not have been the Ideal political model, her lesson in politics is clear. We Jews are just beginning to learn how to use our power Judiciously and effectively within the political structure. Shushan Purim Is also a most appropriate day for the Women's Campaign Luncheon — a Jewish holiday whose central figure is a woman is a rare, and unique holiday Indeed, We women may have been unsung llturglcaliy, but

not because we have not been hi the forefront Today is a witness to that... "Finally that which connects Shushan Purim, the Women's Campaign and our guest speaker is that 2,500 years ago a Jewish woman did not forget she was a Jewess. Her Persian name may have been Esther, but her Hebrew name was Hadassah. "We are here today because we do not forget our Hebrew names, our history and the obligation which it places upon us," Mrs. Cytron concluded. Indeed, Faye Schenk, Des Molnes' own native girl, daughter of the late and revered Rabbi Zeichek, is like Esther, her Purtm counterpart, a meritorious Jewish woman and leader whose life's work for Hadassah (Esther's Hebrew name) has enc o m p a s s e d numerous positions of national office. The U.N. resolution of Nov. 10, was "beneath contempt," she cried, and represents what she described as "the beginning of the dissection of the Jewish people and Israel."

The latter two countries cited violation of Security Council rules as the reason for abstaining. Scranton's argument against seating the PLO with full membership status followed the same line as that taken by bis predecessor, former Ambassador Daniel P. Moynihan last Dec. 4 and Jan. 12, in connection with the PLO's participation in the Security Council's Middle East debate. Scranton said the seating of the PLO was an ad hoc measure and no matter how often it was done, it remained illegal under Council procedures. The Israeli delegation and the PLO representatives were seated at opposite ends of the horseshoe table.

Known as one of Israel's "toughest fighters", Chaim Herzog is just the kind of man Israel needs as Ambassador to the United Nations. His personal charm and sense of humor balance his professional cool which comes from a background including the military, law, radio and television commentator, author/educator, and president of Israel's leading organizations. Bom in Ireland in 1918 (he speaks Hebrew with a slight brogue), he migrated as a youth to Palestine where his father, the late Isaac Herzog, became Chief Rabbi. Our guest speaker attended Cambrige University in Britain, where he studied law, and Sandhurst, Britain's West Point, rose to the

rank of Lieutenant Colonel with the British Army in World War II, and was awarded an honorary knighthood by the Queen of England. . In Israel he is considered anarchitect of the Military Intelligence of which he was twice Director, was Commander of the Jerusalem Military District during the Sinai campaign, first Military Governor of the West Bank, chief spokesman of the Israel Broadcasting Corporation during the Six Day War, and for more than a decade known as the "Voice of Israel". Herzog and his wife, a third generation Israeli, are the parents of three sons and a daughter. „

Arms to Egypt: Press Reacts Edttar1! Note: TIM wtbor, «botoEditor Emeritus of the Near K*st Report, will welcome question and. comments about the media. Write him at 990 National Fre»Bttttdlng,Wiihlagton,D.C.a»45. Byl.L.Kenen The editorial in The New York Times (Mar. 14) urging military material to Egypt is based on the premise that the United States made . such a commitment, variously described as "explicit" and "implicit" in the same paragraph. We question whether Israel was so informed and whether she would have accepted the interim agreement last fall if she was. The Times also calls on Israel to stop "whipping up a whirlwind" on this issue. But judging by editorials throughout the country, this Is not a Jewish issue fomented by Israel but one reflecting on the morality and sound judgement of,U.S. policy. To provide arms to Egypt — which has opened the attacks on Israel and which opposes peace In this generation — ignores three basic realities: It will endanger and further burden Israel, increase Sadat's appetite, and ignore Egypt's human needs. The Washington Star (Mar. 9) "emphatically , disagrees" with The Times. Apart from "the moral issues involved in supplying arms to both sides of the conflict," The Star points out that past experience, "notably in the case of India and Pakistan, Greece and Turkey, does not have the effect of endearing the United States to either of the parties . . . nor does it enable the United States to bring leverage to bear to prevent .armed conflict."'

questions whether we should make such a . "landmark decision" when then is no assurance, that Ford or Kissinger will be "custodians" of our policy beyond this year.

Israelis Protest the Price of Progress

Despite these contradictions. The Poslj insists . that the Egyptian request "makes sense" because It "can be related to American peaceseeking."But we fail to see any "peaceseeking." The Kansas City Star (Mar. 6) agrees that the Israeli "premise is entirely correct" It.

Here on Mount Cannel tens of thousands of residents agree there is need for a new road to provide a shortcut down to the Tel Aviv highway, instead of the present circuitous route which adds many needless miles to the trip Everyone, that is, except those who live on Freud Street, Who don't want their quiet side street widened and transformed into a major highway. And so they have for the time being prevented implementation of the project When the early settlers built their homes in Jerusalem's Bet Hakerem it was a quiet suburb. When high rise buildings were planned, they tooktothe barricades. The Zlm shipping line was losing fortunes on operation of its passenger liners, but for a long time the merchant seamen prevented sale of the ships-to hold their jobs.

Expert Hits Acceptance of'Free Marriage' MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (JTA) —: An, expert on Jewish communal life has warned, in an assessment of forces affecting the modern Jewish family, that there has been "a great growth and acceptance" of "free marriage" on campuses among Jewish students to the point where "even parents are beginning to accept it." The assessment was made by Prof. Gerald R. jjubls, director of the Los Angeles School of Jewish Communal Service of the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute' of Religion, during a visit here for an experimental effort, to cope with the dwindling "togetherness" and dwindling Jewishness of the American Jewish home.

Project Elijah Offers Omaha Hospitality To City's Newcomers at Passover Time OMAHA — Are you a newcomer to Omaha seeking to meet new friends with whom to celebrate Passover? You might be a college student or military person, a young family or a senior citizen. Whoever you are, it's possible you're in new surroundings and might just want to find new friends. If you would like to share the warmth of the Passover Seder with other families in the Jewish community, you'll be happy to hear that Project Elijah is again ready to go. - • 'Project Elijah, the Jewish Federation's program that brings people together for Pesach, was created about three years ago during an Older Adult planning session gearing forthenewJewishCommunltyCenter. t During a discussion of how to serve the needs of the elderly, first one comment and then another regarding the loneliness of (he elderly — and others in a community — were offered. There was mention of the woman in Los Angeles who wanted so to hear a voice that she

advertised in the newspaper for callers; and -there was mention of an "Adopt-AGrandparent" program. What it boiled down to, finally, was, as one person put It: "You Invite a stranger into your home so he will not be lonely when others are enjoying the warmth of the family circle." Or, as someone else said: "It's not Just old people who are alone. There are newcomers in town, maybe a young couple or a young family —weoaghtto try to serve them all." Well, that's how Project Elijah came into being. Now all that's needed are two lists of names: the first, persons seeking to share Passover with other families, and the second, tbpsefamiliesofferingtheirhospitallty. Persons in either category are asked to call either Sam Lauber, Federation assistant director, or Mollie Delman, JCC Older Adult coordinator, at 334-8200. They'll match everyone up so that Passover will be the family experience that it's supposed to be.

Jewish Student Awareness Starts UNO Hiiei

ByBaibanStmoo OMAHA - "I guess I'm more sensitive than some, because ofrayparents' experience as survivors of the Holocoust, ' about feeling responsibility to other Jews," says Omahan Gary Kinstlinger, who has established the first Hillel organization at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Although Hillel became an official organization at UNO in January, 1976, college students from other universities in Omaha are included in the membership. The Hillel serves students from the UN Medical Center and Creighton. Kinstlinger. 21. a graduate of Yeshiva University in New York - a university that combines religious studies and secular studies — has a

bachelor's degree in psychology and Is now enrolled in the graduate program in school psychology atUNO. . Kinstlinger says there was no organization primarily for Jewish college students In Omaha, which left no way for Jewish-young adults to know one another after they left high school. At UNO especially, sisce it Is s essmunter campus, it is difficult for Jewish students to find each other, be says. He has a, strong commitment to living Jewishly and to the meaning of being a Jew and has the desire to Gary Kinstlinger bring other students to this awareness. On. the UNO students to attend the Hillel campus Klnstlmger asked organizational meeting.' Jewish students whom, he He got other names of -knew to contact other Jewish Jewish students from the Jewish Community Center files and from Creighton. There are 80 members on the Hillel mailing list and the organization is considered a Center group as well as a UNO organization.

' -• To help support the synagogues' educational programs, the Department of Jewish Education will allocate approximately $47,000, to be divided ainong ttie three schools and the Jewish Day School according to a student-hour study formula. The High School .cf Jewish Studies receives an Indirect subsidy because its 110 students are counted along with each synagogue's students. However, its operating budget comes from a direct payment of $50 per year, per student, to the High School by the synagogues (the High School is open to Temple Israel students wishing to attend) •. Carol Gendler, director of the High School of Jewish Studies, explains that it is an extentlon of the high school-level classes offered previously at Beth El and Beth Israel. Administrators and parents were convinced that Jewish education must continue after Bar or Bat Mitzvah. Mrs. Gendler says that the existence of the scbool says to Jewish young people that education is very important and that It should be a lifelong pursuit. If they graduate at 12th Grade with that feeling, she considers their learning a success.

There Is now no question that the proposed sale of unarmed military transport is but a prelude to far more substantial transactions involving a far wider range of military hardware. We strongly encourage you to write a letter or contact your Congressional representatives and President Ford urging reconsideration and reversal of the Administration's intentions to sell military equipment to Egypt. For further information on this issue contact the Community Relations Commission, 244-3144. "URGENT RESPONSE NEEDED - WRITE NOW!

In the course of time, however, and perhaps under non-Jewish In. fluences, Jews came to regard tome places as being holy and prayer offered there.as more efficacious than at other places. The most venerated of these places Is the Western Wall, a relic of the Temple of Herod. With the reunification of the city in 1967, the Wall became the central attraction for Jewish pilgrims. Prayer services are held there dally from sunrise to nightfall and people come at all times for meditation. While there is a popular custom of Inserting slips of paperbearlng petitions In the cracks of the Wall, some people refrain from even touching It because or its holiness. The other holy places are all graves of biblical figures or famous rabbis and pious men from theimlshnaic period until today. In Jerusalem the Mount of Olives was a center of pilgrimage, perhaps because of its proximity to the Temple site or because of the prophecy that on the Day of the Lord (I.e., the Day of Resurrection according to the oral tradition): "His feet shall stand upon the Mount of Olives" (Zech. 14:4). The Mount has served as a general burial ground for many centuries and according to tradition the prophet Zechariah li buried at Its foot.-Also In Jerusalem Is the tomb of King David on Mount Zion, which I* certainly spurious. This fact did not, however, prevent It from being a popular focus for pilgrimage. The grave of Simeon the Just In Jerusalem Is also popular and, to some degree, serves as a substitute for that of Simeon b. Yohal in Meron. The most Important grave is that of the patriarch* la Hebron. TMs shrine, known In the Bible as the cave at theMacnprlah.is housed Ina bunding with Herottlan walls which, says the Encyclopaedia Judaica. was converted In its-last phase Into a mosque and was therefore toaccesslble to both Jews and Christians for centuries. "Infidels" were allowed to ascend to the seventh step of the entrance, but there Is evidence that In the late Middle Ages there was a synagogue next to the mosque. After 1967 this site became a focus for pilgrimage and special hours arc set aside for non-Muslim visitors, . The traditional tomb of Rachel Is near Bethlehem, while that of her son Joseph is in Shechem, In Half a the cave of Elijah, where according to .tradition the prophet hid, is considered holy and a place forpllgrlmage. ' : Most of the graves visited by pilgrims are in Galilee, because most of • the rabbis of the Talmud lived and taught there. Particularly Important is the town of Meron where Simeon b. Yohai.ahd his son Eleazar are reputedly burled. Extcnslvepopularcelebratlonslakeplace thereon Lag ba-Omer and a kind of cult has grown up around the grave. Hlllel and Shammai, among others, are also said to be burled In Meron. Safed and Tiberias are very important centers for pilgrims to the graves of famous scholars. In Safed arc the reputed graves of Shemalah and Avtallon, Phinehas b. Jalr, It. Joseph Caro, the kabbalisto Isaac Lurla, Moses Cordovero, and Solomon Alkabcz, as well as many later scholars, saints, and hasldic zaddiklm. Tiberias was a center of rabbinic activity In talmudlc times, and the graves of the tannaim Akiw, Melr, Johanan b. ZakVal, and Ellezer b. Hyrcanus and (hose of the amoraim Amml and Assl as well'as of Malmonldes, and Isaiah Horowitz are frequently visited, the Judaica concludes.

. Ernie Grunfeld, the Ten/-nesae'e AllrAmerican basketballer who performed magnificently in the Pan American Games last year, is the center of a citizenship controversy-hls. According to Haskell Cohen, sports columnist for the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Grunfeld's American citizenship is being questioned and thus his chances of even trying out for the UnitedStates in the Olympics are in doubt. Seems Grunfeld becamse a U.S. citizen only a year ago and International Olympic rules specifically state an athelte cannot represent his adopted country until he has completed three years of citizenship. Grunfeld's case has extenuating circumstances, writes Cohen: Ernie was a minor In 1972 when his parents took out their papers. Some contend Ernie automatically became an American-citizen when his parents were certified. But so far,, the International Basketball Federation hasri't seen it that way.
