NEW YORK - "The Soviet Govenrment's newly erected monument at 'Babi Yar, perpetuates the Soviet's denial of Jewish history," said ; Eugene Gold, chairman of the National Conference on Soviet Jewry (NCSJ), on the 35th anniversary of the Nazi massacre of Kiev's Jews. "The monument which makes no mention of Jews, is an all embracing embargo and a prime example of the soviet authorities' lnsensltivity to Jewish suffering." Hitler's systematic extermination of Kiev's Jews at Babl Yar began on Sept. 29,. 1941 when Nazi machine guns murdered men, women and children . in the' ravine, Estimates of the number of Jews killed vary between 70,000 and 100,00. Thereafter,, the site was used as a routine place of execution and in the next two years thousands of people of various Soviet nationalities were' slaughtered and buried there. . / According to Soviet news agency reports, and an account in Pravda, a newly dedicated 50-foot high^ memorial depicts 11 dead and" dying victims about to fall into the Babl Yar ravine, It omits all references to Jews. The inscription reads, "Here in 19411943 German Fascist .oC-{ cupicrs killed moxe tharr 100,000 citizens of Kiev and prisoners of war." The monument is a further example of the USSR's conspiracy of silence regarding all aspects of the Jewish con-

tributlons in the fight against Hitler and the brutal fact that the Nazis had planned a total extermination of European Jewry/'Gold explained. Knowing-the symbolic power of the" site' Soviet authorities had planned to level the raving and build a park and sports stadium. But by 1961 when Soviet poet Yevgeny Yeytushenko wrote •has famous.poem "Babi Yar" the issue of commemorating the thousands killed became an international, cause celebre. . .. 1 "To this day there is not One NEW YORK. - Golda Melr official major monument to will be the recipient of the the Jewish victims of Nazism "Joseph Prize for Huniah anywhere in the Soviet Union.

A change in priorities is necessitated also because some agencies are suffering from drastic, reductions in financial aid they have been receiving from federal, state and municipal funds. .

nual campaigns goes for human needs in Israel, through the United Jewish Appeal, under an existing leadership agreement. The prevailing opinion is that the communities must retain the existing proportion in the allocations between ihedversess and !scs! s e r vices, and that any other action would be a breach of good faith.

The re-examiniation of the priortles will bring about the updating of cummunal structures, the merging of small agencies, and the centraltzation of services for greater economies. Discussions on the proportion in the division of funds between two equally valid claimants — overseas needs and local needs — are also looming on the horizon. At present the larger proportion of the funds raised by the Jewish communities in their an-

As CJFWF leaders see it, the solution of the problem of increased funds for local needs lies in getting increased contributions. Suggestions are being made that the proceeds of fundraising drives be divided among local, domestic and overseas needs in the same proportion as during the last years, while the increase in funds raised be allocated on a 50-59 basis. .

Ovici: Freedom of Movement Ranks High

•" I

By Barbara Simon OMAHA — This writer is surprised when Toma Ovid, No. 2 ranked tennis player in Rumania (or (our years, says that being Jewish was not a problem for him during Ais growlng-up years thereofdurfnghlsprotessionalcareer. "Rumania is not like Russia or Poland," he says. "Nobody likes Jews much there (my feeling la that nobody tikes Jews ^aach anywhere,--he ays),-but thereis ns eaJdaLjsrffey of discrimination or harassment," Ovici adds. "I think that's been true tor 30years." Ovici, 27, has been assistant tennis pro at the Omaha Racquet Club since May, 1076. His status as No. 2 ranked professional player (to Nastase's No. l) in Rumania would be Impressive enough by itself, but added to that fact is that he sought political asylum In the United States in April, 1976, and became one of the few Jewish Eastern Europeans to defect to America. When asked why be decided to defect, he answers, "As a tennis pro, I traveled all over the world I knew I could have a better life than the highly controlled, rather drab routine I saw around me in Rumania. Everyone there works for the government. There Is no private business, no way to accumulate savings or Investments. You own your car and maybe your apartment, but nothing else. 1 wanted more." , He also explains: "Compared to most people, I had a very good life there. As a famous athlete I was able to travel and have privileges that others did not. But they never let my wife travel with me, and sometimes I was not even allowed to see her at home. They Insisted I be protected from distractions so I Could train and win for Rumania in national competitions/' "The system was such that If I behdVed in a way that displeased the Tennis Association, they could refuse to let me compete' or to leave the country. They had complete control of my life." "It goes without saying," He continues, "that my telephone was tapped, my letters opened, and my parents,'who are in RuBianla, watched. This has nothing to do with being Jewish, it has to do with being a person who is out of the country a lot" Ovici, bis handsome, lively face becoming very serious, pauses a long while to think about what in the United States he likes best "It is that freedom of movement — precisely that feeling of coming and going with no one caring, really, how or whereIgo—noBne watching - that is ibe most satisfying." Me admits, however, that when he first arrived last May the sense of freedom registered somewhat like Indifference, especially from the Jewish community. "No one called," he said. "I made lots of friends at the Club, right away, but n° one from* the Jewish community seemed to know I was here, or seemed to care that 1 had defected — 1 had no welcome." - "I was surprised," he adds, "because I had always heard from other Jews who had visited America that if I ever needed anything, the Federation would help me. Fortunately, it was not help that I needed — but I needed recognition and a welcoming feeling." The circumstances of Ovid's defection and residence in Omaha make an interesting story. "I bad been thinking of how to leave Rumania' for a year or two," be says. "I could have requested emigration to Israel. But that was dangerous to my career. Any famous person who puts In papers to emigrate^alls out of favor and stops being promoted on television or the press, i know one young, marvelous vloUnlst who just dropped out of sight for a year. Who would care about a tennis player if they hadn't seen him play for a year?" Ovici decided against requesting emigration to Israel. He considered Switzerland, but was hesitent to pursue it because he does not speak French. He was in the United States on a professional tennis tour in 1974 and played in many cities, Including Omaha. When he returned in February, 1976, (or another tour through Maryland, Virglna and Arkansas, he had a week of vacation left and decided to come to Omaha to visit the Alan Simons, whose house guest he had been in 1974. In a freak Incident, Ovid was walking from the Jewish Community Center to the Highland Club after a swim in the JCC pool when he tripped on the roadside and-fell Into the path of an oncoming car. He was seriously injured. He lay unconscious for four days in an Omaha hospital, and was not certain for several weeks afterward if his tennis arm would heal well enough for him to play again. The Rumanian government sent one of the other prayers from New York who was on the tour to check oji .Qvtci, and the report home was serious enough for them to send Ovid's wife, Carmen, to Omaha to be with him. , • , • As the arm heated and the chances that be would be able to play teffijis again issrssssi, tecOvJeSs realized lhat they would probably not have the chance to be together in a Western coiu> try again. They went to southern California to stay with friends for the rest of Toma's recuperation and decided there to seek political asylum. ' . . •• , "It was scary at first," says Ovici, "but not difficult; we walk-• ed Into the Federal building in Los Angeles and said we wanted the political protection of the Untied States.. W^jreie Interviewed and filled out a lot of papers, and applied for citizenship, I m very satisfied here— 1 feel appreciated for what I am, for who I am—for what I know." ,„ . "The reaction that came from the Rumanian government was - that they said the accident must have damaged my brain, for , me to want to defect!" Ovid laughs. ~ Their friends In California put them in touch with other pros

By EsteUe Rosenberg The Lincoln Chapter held the first meeting of the year Tuesday, Sept. 21, at Tlfereth Israel Synagogue Social Hall. The meeting was for paid-up ' and new members. The afternoon program. featured Nebraska's' First Lady, Pat Exon and Helene KrlvoBha. The topic was "From Nebraska to the Negev and Back as Seen by Pat and Helene." j ;

Toma Ovid, Rumania tennis player. Nothing materialized. He heard from Omaha friands that Dave Webber at the Racquet Club needed an assistant, so in May Ovjcl returned to Omaha to begin his American life. "I'm through with the professional curcuit," says Ovid. "My work now is as a teaching pro," • . Wife Carmen, 24, herself a world-ranked athlete, a European ping-pong champion, has a job at Commercial Optical. Company. She worked in Rumania as a chemical engineer in ceramics and construction materials. They met in Bucharest -where Carmen was competing in a ping-pong tournament They have been married almost three years. Carmen Is not Jewish. "1 have mixed feelings about being Jewish," says Ovid. "I am proud to be Jewish and 1 am also Individualistic about it. 1 am not traditionally observant. I don't go to synagogue and I did not have a Bar Mitzvah, although my mother would have liked both forme. She attends synagogue to this day, and way back I had rabbis in my family." Ovici explains that he grew up post-War in a society where all religions were played down. "My generation grew up agnostic," he says. His hometown, Tlrgu Mures, population 120,000, once had a Jewish community of 10,000. Now the Jews number about 400, since the mass legal emigration to Israel began In 1949. Rumania is the only Eastern European country which had diplomatic relations withisrael. He admits paranoia and a deep-seated fear about being pyscholcgicaily attacked for being a Jew; yet, he has never experienced, nor has his immediate family, direct persecution, nor did he know any friends who have? "But the memories and stories, of course, persist in my mind," he says. "My grandfather died at Auschwitz; we knew others who were there or at Dachau and who survived. They were unlucky to live in Eastern Rumania which was then part of Poland. Rumania itself did not send Its Jews away. Hitler needed Rumanian oil more than be needed absolute obedience, so he did not press the Issue when the Rumanian government refused to deport its Jews." Ovid proudly displays a Mogen David on a chain around his neck and says, "I enjoy knowing that many of the brightest and smartest of the world's contributors were Jews; even the father of communism, Karl Marx." He has some anxiety and sadness about his decision to defect. His parents remain in Tlrgu Mures. He is their only son. He fears repercussions for them and worries about how they will surviye their aging years Vvlthout his presence. He sighs and shakes his head. "The bad and the good about my leaving Rumania." The Ovlcls are settling in. New friends have squired them about; they are part of an energetic social scene that provides them many contacts ami friendships, In introducing Toma and Carmen Ovid -belatedly to the Omaha Jewish community, we say again what we have said often on these pages: welcome, shalom, happy life to you In our community! :

HAIFA - For individual Jews Yom Kppur marks a time for individual retrospection. For Israelis collectively as a nation it can be occasion to peer ahead into the coming year to see what faces us. And so we follow our annual custom of listing the dozen major problems which will confront this country in the twelve months ahead. Some problems are perennials. Some drop lower on pur worry chart, or fail to make the list in one year or another. There are always new ones to; take their place. . Here, then, Is our reading of the even dozen of challenges which Israel and its leadership must face in the months ahead: — "• 1. Pursuit of Peace. This is the overriding concern. No matter how dark the current circumstances, there Is always the glimmer of nope that a solution Is a bit nearer. The will certainly is not absent. 2. Economic Crisis. The na*tional debt, balance of trade, employment, currency stability, all are indicators of the national economic well being. The; internal structure, too, must be strong, to assure survival. ' 3. The Occupied Areas. Our pride in the relative quiet which had prevailed for some years in the'occupied areas, was shattered this past year.

Though 1976 saw a downward turn in emigration out of Israel, the continued flow of 'departures by both newcomers and oldtimers is cause for serious concern. 6. Border Security. We can look back upon many years when this Was ranked very near the.top of our Problem list. There appear to be no ' acute dangers, but national' vigilance cannot be relaxed. 7. International. IsoJation. the Arab' attempt to oust Israel from various world * federations and associations, or at the very least neutralize us in these bodies, will reach a new peak at the United Nations this fall. 8. Labor Demands. Israel's labor movement, which had played such a leading role in the" pioneering development of the country; has reached a itage of confrontation with the Government. The Issue: overall national economic policy versus labor's demand for more compensation. . 9. Social Issues.

TV Exec Chosen WASHINGTON"- The National .Ladies Auxiliary, Jewish War veterans of the U S A , a n n o u n c e d ' t'h« unamlmous choice of its membership for Its annual "Woman of the Year" 1976, to be Ms. Virginia Kassel, eminent public broadcasting television executive. Ms. Kassel Is the creator, researcher, producer and director of one of the outstanding historical series ever produced by American television, 'The Adams Chronicles', which has been cited throughout our nation for its tremendous educational values, and its appeal to both children and adults", according to Elaine Mass, national president.

Once again, as in 1973, Mobil Oil has opened a lavish proArab advertising campaing to defeat pending legislation against the Arab boycott. "Texaco; Continental arm Exxon hsvfr {sUswsd suit. It was Mobil, a member of the ARAMCO combine, which first compiled with Faisal's demand for a pro-Arab stand In 1973, evoking widespread protests. It was speedily followed by SOCAL and Texaco. Oil lobbyists then warned against an anti Semitic backlash if the threatened oil embargo materialized. They were wrong then and they are wrong today when Mobil writes: "America, we fear, might be reduced to a second-rate economic power, our citizens to a second-rate standard of living" if the anti-boycott legislation is approved. We would be reduced to a second-rate political power if we subserviently surrendered to oil pressures to sacrifice a democratic ally. We recall the British appeasement of the Nazis and the Arabs in the 1930's culminated In the Palestine White Paper - denying sanctuary to Hitler's victims. .- • - But we are encouraged by Tbe Washington Post which editorially declared (Sept. 20) that an American boycott of Israel "runs against American Interests, American values and the American grain." And the Post continues: It goes to the basic framework • In which the United States and the Arab world are try Ingto expand and deepen a relationship that has been, until, relatively recently, narrow and formal and sometimes even antagonistic.'' Tbe New York Times last week raised questions about the efficacy of "the Mblcoff Amendment, which denies tax credits to those firms complying with the Arab boycott. (It has already been approved by Congress, j But there can be no such questions about the RosenthalBingham Amendment, which directly attacks the secondary boycott of Israel and which forbids any agreement to engage In the boycott. __ This amendment was first offered In 1965 but regretably was watered down at the insistence of the Johnson Administration, with the word

"require" amended to "request and encourage." The RosenthalBlngham Amendment enormously strengthens American business, for it facilitates a uniform and united resistance to an ignominious surrender to pressures from Arab oil tycoons. • KIND WORDS FOR FENTON ~T,asl Siarch7~we'cniiclzed TonV Penton of CBS for broadcasts which likened Israel's treatment of her Arab citizens to apartheid. Now, we would like to congratulate him and his network for the excellent broadcast of the memorable Entebbe rescue. And we also would like to add that the media have featured Israel's humanitarian attitude on its borders towards its Lebanese, Syrian and Jordanian neighbors. . ' The forthcoming UN session offers Arabs an opportunity to abandon rhetoric for realism' and to forswear resolutions which would ostracize Israel rather than cooperate with her, such as the anti Zionism resolution -which disfigured the Assembly last year. (It will test the optimism of our diplomats who believe that 1077 promises an advance towards settlement.) FREEDOM OF THE PRESS Thomas Lippman writes in The Washington Post thai the recent crackdown in Kuwait "has all but eliminated press freedom in the Arab world. Ironically, it is in East Jerusalem, under Israeli rule, that the Arab press Is least restricted." Thus, Mohammed Helical is published In Jerusalem's Al Quds but not in his native Egypt. While Egypt's papers are improving, they are still "docile." ACTIVE ARABS The Arab propaganda apparatus has taken to the press again with the pTo-boycott advertisements. The Arab Information Center had a page ad in the glossy convention Issue of the Democratic Review . And the Ninth Annual Convention of the Association, of Arab • American University Graduates will be held in; the Blltmore Hotel in New York City on Oct. 13. (That is where Zionist organizations united for the Jewish Commonwealth resolution in 1942).

Jewish QuizBox By Rabbi Dr. Samuel J. Fox * M m m A » 7 . QUESTION: What Is the origin and purpose of the "Kol Nldre"? ANSWER: The Idea is traced to a source In the Talmudic literature (Nedarim 23b) where it is stated that one who does not want to be bound by vows during Ute coming year should arise on Bosh Hashanah (which ii Interpreted to be any time between Rosh Hashanah and Vom Kippur) and declare ifiul ill Vuws Wiiiul iro mil make uuHIig the vv*nfcig JCS? &Sil» declared null and void. It was not popularly observed, as far as we know, until about the 12th Century when the present text was composed which we call Kol Nldre. Perhaps what brought it into almost universal use was the deep guilt feelings of the Marranos In the 15th Century who had openly pledged themselves to Christianity while inwardly remaining true to their Jewish faith. . • - The formula of Kol Nldre served to absolve them from their vows and they secretly practiced their Judaism on Yom Kippur In tome hiding places. The purpose of the Kol Nldre is really multi-faceted. First, It makes the Jew aware of how important It is to keep one's pledges and vows. The sins of the Jewish people can all be subsumed under a vloiaUon of the vow that was taken at Sinai when the Ten Commandments w e n given, biding the Jewish people forever to follow the dictates of the Jewish faith.

Second, It relieves the conscience of those, and there arc many, who look back with guilt feelings for not having fulfilled every promise they made either to themselves or to others. Third, the act of nullifying vows makes til Jews equal In the eyes of Ood and man and thus there Is that indispensable unity of the Jewish people which Is required in order to achieve the forgiveness which the Day of Atonement seeks to acquire.

QUESTION: Why must the Kol Nldre be recited before sunset on the eve of Yom Kippur"? . ANSWER: The Kol Nidre is a legal formula and IU expressiontoa legal act. Obviously no legal transaction may be executed on the Sabbath or a Jewish holiday. Therefore, It has to be done before the holiday of Yom Kippur begins. Many practice the rite of absolving vow* both before Rash Hashanah and during the day before Yom Kippur, The public formula of Kol Nldre Is then recited before sunset, when all Jews are supposed to be in the synagogue to alleviate all Jews, and to Include even those that had not absolved their vows during the earlier part of the day. QUESTION: Why is the Kol Nldre recited three times? . ANSWER: A legal formula which a Rabbinical Court recited in absolving vows is recited three times to make it official. Since the Kol Nldre Is a long form of the original simple formula < Mutar Lach — it is now permitted to you) It must also be recited three times. Some contend that the three-fold recitation Insures that one who may not have heard the formula or paid attention to It the first or second time will be sure to have listened to it and absorbed It the third time.

Women's League: New Concept in Education ' DES MOINES - The following tr Saierview !s a result of » meeting totalled to plan continuing education for the members of TifereUi Israel' Women'i League. The meeting was attended by Beth Waldinger, vice president, and Barbara Craenwald, chairman of adult education. Questions are asked by Kay Myers, publicity. What is this new and txdtmg program you bare pUiamtt Ms. Greenwald: H1DRASHA, meaning school, Is an exciting new concept in Jewish Adult ; Education. The word - "mldrasha" Is derived from ' one meaning "to search out." •: '••: That Is exactly what we hope to ' do. We hope to provide the opportunity for women to search out the basic* of Judaism as they apply to their lives. MIDRASHA will be presented over a period of two years/ Why do you l e d snch a program is Ms. Waldinger: Wonten's League members have wmietted a desire tor an intense Jewish studies program that would ap- ply to them as active participants in the Synagogue. We have held meetings and many discussions during which time the women have asked tor a chance to learn about their ' roots, their heritage, their ) obligations to the present as well as their legacy to the future.' WhowUlattendMlDRASHA? Ms. Waldinger; There are two categories of women that we ted.would be Interested in _ j MIDRASHA. First, there are women who would wish to achieve the status of Bat ; Torah, Daughter of the Tprah.

Aose Hoffman Leaves Press

The woman who wishes to . become Bat Torah will be expected to nave regularly attended cissT session over iitc two year period. She will be responsible for attaining a level of study based on her own self-evaluation through testing. Of course, there would not be any grades given — the tests are lor the benefit of the woman herself to see if she has progressed as she1 had wanted to. The other classification of women who would be int e r e s t e d in a t t e n d i n g MIORASHA consist* of those women who consider themselves a Talmlda, a student. These women are not required to attend class sessions on a regular basis, but may audit the classes at their convenience. We recognize .that not all women are able to commit themselves to the completion of MIDRASHA, but have the same desire to learn more about their role as Jewish women in synagogue life.

When and where a n the classes? Ms. Greenwald: Classes will be held on Wednesday mornings ai 5:15 a.m. in the synsgsgus library. Level I students, , women who need a crash course in Beginning Hebrew Reading, will begin classes on October 13. Those students will then Join Level II students, those who already have a firm basis in reading Hebrew, on November 10, to continue . H e b r e w r e a d i n g in MH)RASHA. Would you describe the courses t Ms. Waldinger: The first course, on November 10, from 9:15 to 10:10, win be Hebrew Reading. It will Include study of prayer books and holiday materials. Phyllis Cytron will be the course Instructor. The second course from 10:20 to 11:15, Is Judaism Observance in Contemporary Society, and will Include synagogue skills, indepth analysis of family life, and the traditional laws of Judaism.

And the Depilatron Method is fast. Normally, a lip or chin hair problem can be taken care of in an hour or so. Without pain, without swelling-or irritation. In fact, make up can be applied immediately after treatment.
