Guidelines for an Election Year By Boris Smolar 1.J.TA

-With the Presidential PlwHnmi • rnmnalgn now •already 4n the air, leading Jewish organizations are interested in making sure that even the appearance of the use,of the Jewish community structures for partisan political purposes be scrupulously avoided. The. council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds — central instrument for all organized Jewish communities — has adopted "election guidelines" which it expects Jewish communities, organizations and agencies throughout the country to follow. The guidelines urge: 1. Jewish leaders, acting in their organizational capacities past or present, should refrain from activity on behalf or against any candidate for any political of f ice. Tills restriction is explained by the fact that when Jewish leaders use their organizational Identity for partisan political purposes, they m a y leave the impression that the organizations with which they are affiliated are committed toapolltical party orcandidate. . 2. While board members or staff members or lay leaders prominently Involved In the work of Jewish agencies may certainly exercise their rights as private citizens on behalf of any political candidate, they should do everything in their power to make clear that their political activity is not in any way identified with Jewish agencies and -that they are not in any way acting in their organizational capacities. 3. Jewish organizations should abstain from giving awards or citations to, or holding public functions in honor of, a political candidate during or immediately prior to a campaign for public office. , 4. Jewish membership bodies should not use or loan their mailing lists in behalf of a political candidate. Similarly they should not permit the use of theff facilities, staff, letter-heads or fund-raising machinery for such purpose. The guidelines make it clear that they do not restrict Jewish leaders and organizations from speaking and acting on public issues of concern: to the Jewish community, even when such conduct may be interpreted as approval or criticism of positions of candidates for political office. Jews in the United States constitute about three percent of the entire population. In national elections they cast four percent of the totql votes. .That one percent/equals about 750,000 votes: This means that 3,000,000 Jewish voters can be expected to participate in the forthcoming Presidential elections this year. Concentrated in the large electoral votes states, the Jewish votes are enough to provide

national victory in close elections. In eight states with large Jewish populations — New York. New Jersey. California, Massachusetts, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Florida and Connecticut — the Jewish votes often make the difference between victory and defeat in elections.

Ford had a good record with regard to Israel when he was a Senator. His record today is not thesame. He"is now forcing Israel to make heavy , concessions and is even supplying some of the Arab countries" with modern weapons. It is being asserted that no American Secretary of State ever made it more clear than Kissinger that Israel was essentially an American colony and must consider American wishes. It was, of course, easier for Ford to be more outspoken in his friendship for Israel when he was a Senator than now when he is President. However, Jewish voters, when they will cast their votes in the Presidential election next November, will Inevitably bear in mind the pledges which the nominees of the Republican and Democratic parties will make on security for Israel, , They will also be influenced by the attitude toward Israel which each of the two political parties will express in their political platforms at their national conventions at which their' PresidenUalcandidatewillbechosen.'

From kindergarten through Grade 3 there Is a considerably Jewish educational programming available in Omaha. In addition to synagogue schools, there is the Omaha Jewish Day School. But the latter goes only to Grade 3, with additional grades being added if enrollment — and parental Interest — warrant it. In Grades 4-8, Jewish education rests with the synagogues. For Grades 9-12, there Is the High School of Jewish Studies, but this school Is not "intensive" in the same sense as the Day School. The High School is held only one evening per week for two hours, rather than daily. . Nevertheless, It is an opportunity to challenge those aware young people to further their Jewish education on the adult level And It is the only program In Omaha that offere a creditbearing, subject-oriented curriculum through 12th Grade. The High. School-holds classes at Beth El and Beth Israel synogogues, and functions as the senior division qf those institutions. It does not receive direct financial support from the Omaha Jewish' Federation and its Department of Jewish education. (The regular synagogue schools and the Jewish Day School do get Federation help in defraying costs.) Both the Day School and the High School exist because of the convictions of parents, teachers and educators that the quality of Jewish llfe'wlll continue to fade, and "Jewish" Jews will continue to dwindle, If more — and better - education Is not provided. Rabbi Jack Zelasko, director of the Jewish Day School, which is part of the Montessori Educational Center on 126th and Pacific, says that there simply Is not enough time in the usual Talmud Torah, after-school sessions and Sunday sessions — usually four to six hours a week — to give children even a smattering of what Judaism has to offer. And who wants kids educated with a smattering of knowledge? Judaism is so vast, he says, and so full of depth and beauty, that the Day School is the only way to Impart to children tbecontentoftheirJewishherltage. . But even his "all-day" program at the Day School is not enough, be says. In reality, the children spend less than two hours a day on "Jewish subjects and the rest of their time learning math, science, reading and other secular subjects. And yet, say Day School advocates, the Day School approach appears to be the best hope for a new generation of educated, committed Jews. Rabbi Zelasko said those lay leaders in various com-, munltles who can read the Torah and conduct a service in the absence of a rabbi are those who have had a Day School or comparable intensive education. No other system, he feels, has the time to teach more than prayerbook Hebrew and individual Torah portions. In eddiUoa, Day School graduates whose education goes through high school and beyond read Hebrew newspapers and speak fluent modern Hebrew. Even his youngest kindergarten children begin to indentify Hebrew words by the system of printing the words on the objects. Theyptay games in which they select objects when Rabbi Zelasko calls for them In Hebrew. He estimates they have a 100word vocabulary for fruits and vegetables, numbers and parts of the body. In addition to Hebrew language, they listen to stories in Hebrew,7 icarh history through Bibiei stories and near tales of Jewish leaders. ^ Eighteen children study with him — SO are registered for next fall—and each Friday they discuss the Torah lesson for the week and also go into depth on the "why" of symbols associated with Jewish holidays. And It is because of these detailed and significant discussions of the "why" of Jewisb.observanoe and tradition that Rabbi Zelasko feels only a Day School can provide theeducatlonnecessaryforcommlttedJewB. His conviction is that it Is a complete understanding of the background of Jewish practice and thought which causes Jews to thrill to their heritage. Talmud Torah and Sunday school teachers are, he feels, UsitedbythsclGckinwhatthcj-cands. . . He feels strongly that, with the understanding in depth which . comes from daily study, young Jews will go to college and into adulthood unimpressed with Zsn and Transcendental Meditation, Yoga and drug trips, because they will know that it's "all there" In Judaism. They will know, be says that "everything In Judaism is very' beautiful, very deep, rich, meaty and satisfying," Carol Gendler, director of the Omaha High School of Jewish Studies, feels that the High School Is not a place where upperlevel Jewish study goes on, but also a demonstration to teen^age^''Mri^WWS&xSoinii ImpwWnraais a eonilnulng process to pursue throughout life." •:.•'•• In Grades 9-12, HO students meet on Wednesday evenings, most often at Beth El Synagogue. Beth El and Beth Israel are the co-sponsors of the High School, although Temple Israel students and non-affiliated students may enroll.

United Jewish Appeal: This Year in Jerusalem Modernity in 5?a00-Year-Old Tradition By Rose Hoffman DES MOINES - Mitchell Benus Jias been director of rehabilitative services at the Iowa Jewish Home for nearly three months. Benus, a New York native, is a graduate of Columbia University with a degree in psychology. He majored in Talmud at the Jewish Theological Seminary where ^ he says he was deeply influenced by the late Abraham Joshua Heschel whose "irisights on the life cycle deepened my respect for elders..." Benus completed his graduate studies at Columbia University's New School for Social Research and Teacher's College. "I have always been fascinated by older people. One can learn much from them.. .1 view my work Here as a symbiotic relationship. I give something and I get something in return," Benus said as he described the nature of his\nteraction with the residents of the Home. Benus stated that the function of the Iowa Jewish Home is rehabilitative. The Home is remarkably progressive in terms of its operational ideologies, especially in light of the fact that America's treatment of her elderly in society and family life has deteriorated since the turn of the century. Most markedly since World War II, Americans have seen the rise and dominance of the so-called "youth culture." The Iowa Jewish Home operates on the assumption that the senior citizen, too, can lead a productive life. When, through extended care, the institution becomes literally the "Home" for a resident, Benus explained, the- rehabiltative function of the Home enables that person to establish a continuity linking their Home

time, a special student seder. Visits by JCC campers and Bureau youth heighten the interacts between the Home arid outside community. In addition, Benus mentioned, the Home provides a number of community outreach services including the kosher "meals-on-wheels" which provides nutritious meals planned by a registered dietician for anyone in the . community. Des Moines

Mitchell Benus round-the-clock care (or confused residents who suffer from chronic brain syndrome. Every staff worker, even unto the last Janitor and aide, has been trained to provide reality orientation therapy (if necessary), including remotivation and reminiscence techniques that bring comfort and alleviate disorientation for these residents. "The staff structures their services to meet the specific needs of individuals," Benus said. These people are cared for as human beings, commanding respect and receiving dignified treatment. "This practice is part of the 5,000 year old tradition of Jewish ethics," Benus noted. The open classroom day care center arrangement allows residents to enjoy group and individual activities — from dancing to discussion — a freedom unheard of In "traditional institutions."

Residents regularly enjoy outings. Anxiously awaited camping trips permit residents to develop a more intimate contact with the ^environment.

United States to sell Egypt a wide range of military equipment will destroy the concept of deterrence based on Israeli military strength. The absence of war is dependent upon an Arab realization that it would be folly and suicidal to launch a military campaign against a strong Israel. When this Is replaced with an Arab realization that the military balance has been tipped in their favor, another outbreak of hostilities will be Inevitable, ana this would undermine U.S. national Interests in the area. It is in American interest to insure (he absence of war in the Middle East and not to encourage hostilities.

DES MOINES - T h e United Jewish Appeal has announced that this years National Conference will convene In Jerusalem from Oct. 24-31, 1976. Frank Lautenber'g, UJA General Chairman, proclaims "This Year in Jerusalem," the more than symbolic title inspired by the ancient hope and prophetic vision of Jews praying to be united In Israel's spiritual heart. In 1976, the dream becomes reality. " . . .But before the American Jewish community. . .can consecrate life in Jerusalem, together we must first assume our obligation for the 197C campaign. Before we go forth to bear witness in 1976, we can do no less than the people of Israel are doing for themselves," Lautenberg reminds us. The conference has been planned as an open demonstration of our solidarity, our sharing in the common brotherhood of Eretz Yisrael. The week-long conference "This Year In Jerusalem" will have the flexibility to encourage communities to plan pre-conference sub-missions to Europe, The National UJA sub-missions include PolandGeneva-Israel and RumaniaGeneva-Israel (14 days for $1,262) or the Iran-Israel submission (14 day s for $1,485).

BySamZweiback •' My very humble apology to Rabbi Isaac Nadoff, for using his expression, "These are my Views", but the following are mine also. I always thought that if a person was "elected or chosen" president or chairman of a group, social or otherwise, that person had reached the pinnacle of success in his or her group, as he or she were now in the position of delegating different tasks to others active in the group but it just doesn't work out that, way jometlmes, at least it hasn't in my case. After being the so-called ; "Correspondent" for our group from the time It was formed some three years back, I was finally able to delegate that Job to David Lazarus. Now I am back serving as a ''-substitute correspondent • besides answering~all questions such as, "What happened to David". The answer is, he is out of town '— and I hope he, gets back real soon and fakes over. again.
