Congressional Candidates Take Jewish Issues Stand By Barbara Simon OMAHA - Lee Terry, Republican candidate (or the' House of Representatives, and Jobs Cavanaugh, Democratic candidate, were visited In theft; offices this week by Shirley Goldstein, chairperson of ttw^Omaha Committee for Soviet Jewry. She asked them If they support the Jackson Amendment, a U.S. law which ties VS. trade to a nation's humanitarian activities; and the Helsinki Agreement, which provides among other things for international reunification of separated families and free flow or International malt. • They hold opposite views on the Jackson Amendment. Terry, although he says be would do anything personally to aid Soviet Jews or others who want to leave the country, doe* not believe In using trade restrictions to force nations to . comply with U.S. policies. ' i'l'in for" free trade without restrictions," he said. "Yet, nothing affects me more than the Issue of human freedom — so I am really In a bind about thteone." Shirley explained that . unless we're really tough with the Russians, they have no incentive to allow emigration. ferry agreed, but he held to the position that using trade as a pressure-point Is against his position. "I'm for free markets, so it's hard to reconcile my two positions,".he - said. "I'll have to explore what other ways there are to pressure the Russians into compliance." . John CavanaugR feels that the Jackson Amendment as It was written IS the proper way to insist that the Russians allow free emigration.

"It's true,""he said, "that the U.S. may have to suffer some losses in the amount of trade we*do with Russia. But you c a n ' t i g n o r e the repressive situation there, and I don't know any other method of pressuring them to comply.!' Cavanaugh explained that of the three levels of power — political, economic and military — economic sanctions are probably the most effective. "But," he said, "I don't minimize the effect political power can have — perhaps a lot of international publicity ' can help shape world opinion! I'm all for speaking out, writing protests, using my office, If I'm elected, to agitate for the release of fomllies who wont to leave the Soviet Union."

would consider any embargo or boycott against Israel a hostile act, and be united and behind Israel 100 per cent." Cavanaugh said, "We have a total and complete commitment to Israel. There are no circumstances when we would allow the extinction of Israel, Just as we would not allow hostilities in Berlin, Western • Europe or Japan." The candidates were pleased to be interviewed, and they thanked Shirley for bringing the Soviet.Jewry situation to their attention.

OMAHA — The receipt of a $50,000 check from the estate of the late Nick Newman has been announced by Leonard Goldstein, president of the Jewish Federation of Omaha. "We are deeply' appreciative of this bequest,'.'

' Mrs. Raquel Newman, who as executrix of her late husband's estate sent the check, noted that Nick Newman wanted the bequest to be used "specifically for recruiting staff, perhaps not possible under/ limited Federation budget, to invest in the training and/or upgrading. the quality of Federation personnel, and to offer additional financial incentives to attract staff, or use experts on a consulting or visiting basis."

Holiday Letters Encouraged for Soviet Jews The Des Moines Committee of Concern for World Jewry Is 'adopting a holiday letter ' writing campaign to Soviet Jews. The holiday letters were' developed by The Union of Councils for Soviet Jews. This action group for Soviet Jewry initially sent a large quantity of Shabbat letters, to ' the Soviet Jews in Russia. They received word that their project was successful and that a number of letters were' received. . The Shabbat letter, written , in both Russian and English, briefly explains that the Staab-, • bat is. a day of rest and • spiritual renewal. It describes. ' the preparation for the Sbab| bat. lighting the candles and ' the prayers for the wine and bread.

Because of the success of the Shabbat letter, the pro>, gram was expanded and letters were developed for each ofthe major Jewish holidays. , Ttoe Des Moines Committee

of Concern for World Jewry has joined in this project. It is •an ideal way foe each of us to send a personal message to Soviet Jews, to show that we care and are concerned about the survival of Jewish identity in Russia. In those cases where letters are stopped and opened, it will give tne Russian authrolties the same

Until now, there has . never been a Jewish pennant flying when Jewish worship services were conducted. . The Idea and Inspiration for a Jewish worship pennant .came from a Catholic chaplain. Ac- cording to Rabbi Joel Balsam, director of the Commission on Jewish Chaplaincy of the National Jewish Welfare Board (JWB), It was Rear Admiral John J. O'COIK nor, Chief of Chaplains, VS. Navy,

who "took the inlUattve oi kSenuiying the sensitivity of one minority . where history hadn't yet recognlzedlt," ; A design was executed and submitted for approval to JWB'S commission on Jewish Chaplaincy.

Former 'Refusnik' Tells How Natasha's Dream Came True OMAHA — Lydia Korenfeld, 47, who spoke at the JCC, Thursday, Oclqber 21, reminded her audience that many of their parents, grandparents, uncles and cousins left Russia in the early 1900's — but If Jhey had not, her listeners would be today's oppressed Russian Jews. Perhaps they would even be as she was until seven months ago, a "refusnik." She had been aainiaurist guide mn$ *er husbaad a!so had a goodjob. "We were fairly well-off for Russians," she said. . She told bow her children begged to go to Israel, especially her older daughter, Ludmilla. They decided to apply for a visa in 1971. They, immediately lost their jobs and spent the last five years subsisting on tutoring, typing manuscripts and selling their possessions. Ludmilla was expelled from the Moscow Electronics Institute where she was a top math student Mrs. Koreofeld came to Omaha to promote tte plight of Soviet Jews through the Omaha Committee on Soviet Jewry. She will visit several major cities during her tour. She told the JCC audience that her younger

daughter, Natasha, became so frightened by the police harassment, arrests and telephone checkups her family endured, that she had a nervous breakdown and had to be hospitalized when she was seven. Later, while recuperating .in the hospital, she wrote a poem, expressing her desire to flee to Israel.

When asked whether emigration Is made any easier for gentiles, Lydia said, "No, of course . not. If so, any thinking Russian would leave the country — all Russians want to leave. But Jews, of courscJiave an additional burden."

There are schools, stadiums, Autoniobiles, h o m e s . . . This is my beloved country. Matzo is what our forefathers ate.

They were baked in the sun, In (he hot desert. They were going home, relieved from slavery. And a miracle happened. Moses went up the mountain. • And brought down the Ten Commandments For the people of Israel. . ; He accomplished his mission, He brought his people home. . But Moses did not live to see his native land. '

-Natasha Korenfeld

Some American friends of the Korenfelds who were In Moscow at the time took the poem and had It published Hv many U.S. papers. Several months later, Natasha received a death note purportedly from Black September, the Palestinian terrorist organization. Lydia was amongst Jews arrested in March, Wl, tor Involvement within the circle of Moscow Jewish activists. She was placed under bouse a n w t when Nixon visited the USSR.

A continuing terle* of articles to better acquaint you with your Federation.

It was a grueling task attacked by Batt with love and enormous time and energy. The building rose from the rolling site, took form and officially opened to the oohs and ahhs of the community on AprU2S, 1974. " The Federation had moved its offices into the not-completed building about two months earlier. From the go-ahead point in /Fall, 1971 when the Livingston Foundation announced the purc h a s e d the 132nd Street site though the ground-breaking in November, 1972, to final opening day, the total planning and building process took an Incredibly short three years. In'a letter to the Jewish Press, March 1,1974, after a visit to the new Center Jack Ouitch said, "Impressed is an understatement; I was overwhelmed. Now-...

Jt has the vital potentiality for an expressive Jewish scheme of creative experiences in a variety of Jewish oriented interest , And so it opened. The membership drive had been going on for months, chaired by Ramon Sombcrg. The leaders who emerged during the years of planning and decision-making were appointed to the new Center board. They met tirelessly to deal with every aspect of staffing, choosing programs, and Ironing out policies such as keeping the Center open on Shabbat afternoons. .• • • •.' . • One crucial decision made months before the opening day was to go ahead with the outdoor pool construction, considered at one time to be a frill that the budget could not afford, but later

We are happy to report that we will operate within our budget this year, but If we had more Omaha Jews as full-paying members, we might be able to do with less support from the Federation, or we might be able to reduce charges forlndivldual classes or programs." *'f Cotmanadds: "In 1976 the Center has become more fiscally sound and responsible, but we really need the membership support of the many Jewish families who have yet to discover the JCC or establish their identiiicatlon with the JCC."

Board Constantly Works for Better Programs (Continued from Previous Page) He continues. "If people complain about instructors, or fees, or programs, first the appropriate committee considers the problem, and then ideally makes a recommendation to the board to act upon, through the committe chairman, who is a board" member. Also, the monthly meetings are open, and anyone is Invited to attend." "A good board," he adds, "has epxerienee from doing sinsilir Jebsss sJhsr besrds, Sasss fcsw a bssrd vssrks, fences enough about the agency, and cares enough, to come forward, offer opinions and suggestions for the better working of the agency.

He says, "The board becomes really effective when individual members seek out knowledge about the Center and its problems. It's difficult to be effective and knowledgable, when once a month one has to respond on the spot to a problem one is hearing about for the first time. I'd like board members and others to come (o the Center often,' talk to the staff and to me, find out what's going on, do some research, and be informed when the time conies to take action or vote on a policy at a monthly board

Noddle feels that board training is an essential need of the Center board—and all boards. It is a way, he explaines, that board members can become truly good leaders and decislonmaken,' and therefore do a truly efficient and effective job of managing the Center. He envisions once-a-week gatherings for several months at wnicn time new board members hear from former members, executive committee people and staff what the agency Is all about These "classes" bring the board member up-to-date on past Issues, oresent problems, and items under consideration. Ibey are also told what is expected of them as board members, and taugbt the principles of decision-making. * Cofman emphasizes the importance of committed and enthusiastic board members. "Our board is our prime Interpreter of the Center to the Jewish community—on the outside it presents the economic needs, the good and not-so-good things that are happening here, the hopes.plans, problems, challenges and future concerns. Therefore, It is critical that board

members have knowledge of the workings of the Center. And It's important that board members be supportive oflhe staff and programs—they've the Center's best ambassadors.'' Noddle sums up his experience as a board member and vicechairman of the Federation's largest agency. "I'm oh this board because I fed I can make a contribution. That is satisfying for me. I'm also worried a little that if I don't do some of this work, it won't get done! Overall I think the GcTitsrts dumg ssapcT job. Weusve aiTuOsttiirec ycars»inucr our belt now—that's important. W'e'ver had to deal with a lot of chuck holes and bumps," , "As Jane has said," he continues, "we are developing a whole new program and agency from scratch. Most of the staff is only three years old at most. We're learning as we go. We still have some important things to fix." "But on balance I feel that working on the Center board is exciting, fun, challenging, frustrating and sometimes depressing. What's in it for me, and for most board members, I think, is tremendous satisfaction and a feeling of going forward into the 2lst century with a viable, exciting program. I feel I must do this for our community future—and that we all must work for each other In this way," says Noddle.
