LONDON, (JTA)-Fifteen British industrial companies are at present holding discuss i o n s with the I s r a e l i economic mission in London with a view to Investing in Israel, according to ecomomlc counsellor Amos Lavee. He was speaking in the presence of Avigdor Bartei, chairman of the Israeli Investment Authority, who is here as part of a tour of European countries. In talks with British businessmen and banking circles, Bartei has been outlining the attractions of investing in Israel, particularly in export-oriented industries. British Investors are being encouraged to take advantage of the special export facilities Israel now enjoys In the rest of the Common Market, in the United States and other countries. Smaller expanding companies, as well as bigger concerns, are being approached. In the first half of this year, Bartei said, Israel had narrowed its 1975 trade deficit of $4 billion by 10 percent. Twothirds of the improvement resulted from a bigger volume of exports. As part of the export drive, Lavee said, Israel would participate In 30 international trade fairs this year.

Exhibit Features Jewish Traveler NEW YORK-The Jewish Museum's permanent collection of Jewish ceremonial objects is the largest in the United States and one of the three most Important in the world, according to a museum spokesman. It ranges from pottery used in the time of Moses to a Persian synagogue wall of the 16th century to contemporary sliver, ceremonial objects created in the Museum's Tobe Pascher Workshop for Silversmiths. One of the newest and most interesting exhibits at the Museum Is a small Judaica display entitled "The Jewish Traveler", the spokesman said, 'fhe compact exhibit contains many unique and beautiful miniature objects used by Jews when they traveled. From Biblical times Jews h a v e t r a v e l e d — on pilgrimages to Jerusalem, as merchantmen In search of silk, to new and different parts of the globe. Ingeniously, they devised small, miniature ceremonial objects for their long Journeys - so that they could practice their faith no matter how far from home they went. The exhibit at the Museum contains lovely spice containers, folding Hanukkah lamps, miniature prayer books, a case for a scribe and a small circumcision kit. No travelers bag was complete hflwever, without an amulet which was considered useful In protecting one from disease, highway robbers and other bazardsof a journey. The Jewish Museum exhibit, which will continue
through the fall, even contains a miniature sewing kit with the personal seal of the woman who owned the kit. One other intriguing aspect of the exhibit is the Inclusion of part of the travelers prayer Iwiucji.reads In part, "May it be thy will; O Lord my God and God of my fathers, to conduct me in peace, to direct my steps In peace, to uphold me in peace, and to lead me in life, joy and peace unto the haven of my desire, 0 deliver me from every enemy, ambush and hurt by the way, and from all afflictions that visit and trouble the world..," (Dally Prayer Book translated by Dr. Joseph Hertz). The Jewish Museum, under the auspices of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, is located at 92nd Street and Fifth Avenue in New York City! For museum Information call 212-860-1888.

THIRD STOP LENINGRAD. Several unnerving'experiences. Susan took a cab far to the outskirts of town to visit a family, bid the cab good-bye, and later1 found out they were not home and did not appear, even after a long wait. She had no way to call another cab (there were no phones on the street). She couldn't read the signs or make her wishes known. Finally, she used her common sense and simply took a bus, any bus, without even knowing where it was going—reasoning that eventually It would have to wind up in a more populated area where she could find a cab. It did. The next day near her hotel in Leningrad she had a typical American Jewish tourist's.experience. The taxi dispatcher looked, at. her carefully and then told her his name was Goldstein. He gave her a story that he had relatives in Israel and friends in the U.S. He then asked if he could buy U.S. dollars to help some Jews in Leningrad who wanted to leave the country.
Determined to carry on a 4,000 year history, the Sabbath candles are blessed as Leningrad Jews gather on Friday night to teach each other what they know of their heritage. (SSSJ Photo) ,' Susan, having been warned, pretended she didn't understand. (There is money to be made on the black market reselling dollars and other merchandise. Besides being conned for falling for such a story, a tourist really can get into trouble If caught supplying the black market.-) Organizations such as the Committee for Soviet Jewry have the names of all legitimate "refusniks" who have asked for help. These families refer tourists to others who need help. No one should respond to requests for materials or money from people on the streets. On Shabbat noon Susan visited the Leningrad synagogue because she had been told that the "refusniks" gather there after services. It was locked and deserted. She stood around for some time hoping to attract attention of any Jews in the neighborhood who might want to speak to her. No one came, and even a parked police car ignored her. Finally she walked away toward the bus when a young'man approached her and told her he was a "re(usnlk".He name-dropped several people as friends in the U.S. and finally asked for Jewjsh books. She had been well prepared by Shirley Golds*. telh to expect this kind of solicitation, so she • politely denied having any thing to give him and t h ^ yV ' ?°T ^ ^ (Continued next week: Last stop, Moscow. The Moscow activists: are a group of intellectual "refusniks" who keep themselves in the public eye.) _

Post's Demands Uncalled for Byl.L.Keatn Note: H » author, Editor Enteriua of M i r E u t Report, **kaaaa quesuutu *nd about Uw mcdlA. Wrlu bim s i fSti N«-
WASHINGTON D.C. - We must protest the astonishing editorials and news treatment hi The Washington Post on the ' A d m i n i s t r a t i o n ' s an._-_^JMlincement of the new Israeli aims agreement. We cannot recall that the Post has ever before insisted that the United States extort concessions from a friendly ally as it did recently: "Arms are a carrot, and the withholding is a stick, to in, duce the recipient to move in a certain diplomatic direction." Did the Post make a similar demand In discussing the recent arms deals with Saudi - Arabia,. Kuwait and other Arab states which still bar recognition and peace with Israel? Nor do we recall such : sensational and lurid descriptions of the weapons recently approved for Saudi7 Arabia. The Post's shock is apparently confined to sales of equipment for Israel. We reject the thesis that the Israelis are the strongest force in the area, this year alone the Arab states have placed orders for more than $10 billion worth of arms from the United States, the Soviet Union and other good providers. Israel's quantitative inferiority cannot be overcome by an alleged qualitative superiority. The implication is that sophisticated Arab weapons must be outweighed by the skill, blood and Jives of Israel's young soldiers. But in 1973, Israel faced many new sophisticated- weapons for which she had no defense. For example/she had no anti-tank missile for nighttime use. The Arabs did. And the 1973 war proved that It does not require
a university degree to wage push button war. Everyone familiar with Middle East history knows that the Soviets have paced the arms race in the area since 1955 and that the Israelis always lagged far behind the Arabs. It is insulting to Israel, American Jewry and the American public iiiat ilieSc arms be viewed as merely a bribe for the Jewish vote. The United States is providing arms which are vital to the security of a democratically. The Issue is the survival of Israel's people. On this issue, there must be no partisan debate. It is regrettable that National Public Radio has broadcast an Interview with Felicia Langer, publicizing malicious and unfounded accusations that Israel violates human rights. Ms. Langer is a Communist Party spokesman in Israel.

I Letters to The Editor)
I can well Imagine the disappointment and the disillusionment which news like this causes among our friends in every, part of the world. The reaction is no less gloomy here. Almost automatically we seek to mitigate the severity of the scandal. It was Minister of Police Shlomo Hillel, I think, who said that this can certainly not be likened to the Watergate affair. The m a j o r o f f e n s e in Watergate was not the breakIn, but the attempt to hush up and cover up. In Israel the alleged offenses arc being given the full light of public exposure, and no one Is being spared. Indeed, there arc some who claim (hat Yadlin and his colleagues have already been tried and found guilty by the press — before the case has even reached a courtroom. There is little doubt that the
Yadlin affair will have political repercussions which may well affect the outcome of Israel's national elections next year, In the meantime, we watch the news from day to day in shuddering anticipation of new revelations. I am reminded that in my annual Yom Kippur column this year, dealing with the problems and challenges facing Israel in the year ahead I made reference to corruption and graft in high places, andthe need for re-dedlcation to moral standards and values.
Israeli Arabs NEW YORK - Despite great strides in education, working conditions, and health facilities, the 440,000 Arabs living in Israel today — representing Wk percent of the total population — are hot ' ready to integrate into the new State primarily.because they . have not yet really reconciled themselves to the existence of Israel. . This was the main theme in a political briefing jn the Middle East delivered by Yaacov Cohen, American representaliveof the Hlstadrut, at a nationwide meetings of tho; national board of Pioneer Women, the women's labor Zionist organization. . Although the .Arab infant '; ; mortality rate has fallen.from 20 per thousand in 1948 to six per thousand currently, similar to the Jewish rate, and despite a current school enrollment of 92 percent for Arab boys and 82 percent for girls, compared with 25 percent In 1948, Cohen said the Israeli Arab essentially refuses to.be assimilated Into Israel's wider society. ^

Arabs Don't PayWay at UN WASHINGTON - If the 20nation Arab bloc intends some diplomatic bullying of Israel during the current UN General Assembly, it'll be able to try at bargain prices. By comparison, the Israelis will be overcharged for the privilege of being on the short end. A B'nal B'rith analysis of bow the United Nations plans to finance Its regular budget In 1977-79 points up the anomaly. One example: oil-rich Saudi Arabia, which last year had a |J7.5-bllllon trade surplus, won't be assessed a nickel more than Israel, which had a nearly $4-billloo deficit. Each will be asked to pay 0.24% of the UN's regular - or housekeeping — budget. (This Is aside from the budgets of specialized UN agencies or such voluntary programs as UNWRA.) The regular budget this year U *M9.5-mlllon. The United States is paying onefourth of It A 13-member UN committee prepared a new assessment scale last spring which UN observors expect will be routinely adopted by the current General Assembly. The Kale Is based on average national Income during 1972-74 - before the massive earnings of the Persian Gulf oil states reached their present levels. Or. William Korey, B'nal B'riuYs director of International affairs, who prepared the analysis, notes that Saudi
Arabia's 1973 all sales of $4.3blllion figure In the new assessment, Us $25.7-bUlionln 1975 sales do not. As it is, Korey reports, the Saudis are being jumped fourfold, from 0.06% to 0.24% — the largest «*««ue!»nt Increase among the Arab states. But for this and the past two years, Korey reminds us, Israel (Increased from 0.21% to 0.24%) has been paying three and one-half times more than the rich Sftudis. Korey suggests that the "Report of the Committee on Contributions" is a UN document deserving of more public scrutiny than it gets. Among his own "Instructive" findings:

Personal Exhibits Sought For Jewish Book Fair Use OMAHA - Do you have your own Jewish library at home? Are there some particular books at the JCC library that you find memorable? If the answer Is yes, the coordinators of the third annual Omaha Jewish Book Fair to be held next month would like you to share your experiences with the rest of the community. "We would like people to exhibit several of their favorite Jewish-related books — whether they own them or borrow them — on the opening day of the Book Fair, Sunday December 12," coordinators Murray and Marten Frost said The books can be on a •ingle theme, or represent dif-
ferent aspects of their Jewish library. Hopefully those who have not yet started their own collection of books will be stimulated to begin by seeing a glimpse of what others have or recommend, they explained. Anyone Interested in displaying several of their books, or who wish to select library books for display, should contact Murray or Marian Frost, 330-3186, or Edythe Wolf at the JCC library, 334-8200. Organizations are also urged to display their literature, such as periodicals. Groups with publications to sell, distribute, or display should also contact the Frosts.

One of six designs of greeting cards packaged for sale by jt Danish group "For Israel's Right to Exist"!
Danish Group Supports Israel with Greeting Cards OAKLAND, Ca.—Denmark, that country who in World War II distinguished itself by hiding persecuted Jews from the Nazis, once again shows its true friendship towards our people. ' • . . , . : Now, a small group of Danes • led by a nori-Jewlsh "friend of Israel" has set itself the task of arousing the world's goodwill to proclaim Israel's right to live: In a grass-roots movement of person-to-person communication, this group has launched an international campaign with greeting cards, posters, stickers and transfers to spread the word that Israel must continue to take its rightful place among the community of nations. World renowned -artists donated their crafts for the cards that convey these messages. Volunteers In Denmark and now in the U.S. have dedicated themselves to produce and sell them without profit. The proceeds will be used for their production; should {here be a loss, the volunteers
, will bear It, hopefully there will be a profit.... It will be sent to Israel. Packages of 30 assorted cards, in six designs, with envelopes can be purchased for $10' by writing: P.O. Box 8647, Oakland, Ca. 94608. In fifteen languages these cards cry out to the world the single message: "For Israel's right to exist"! The inside of the card is either left blank or carries the words "Season's Greetings" — preference should be stated when the order is made!

The 'J'Is Inclusive—From Tots to Tantas
pj Jeurish Federate o£ Omaha
IN DEPTH:
Th* Jewish Community Center
—A continuing series of articles to better acquaint you with your Federation.
By Barbara Simon The organizing and central idea thai was always in the minds of the planners as they ironed out the thousands of "should we's" or "shouldn't we's" concerning the new Center was that it should attract Jewish families, in total, to use the new building. That concept meant that for groups from age 3-5 (and sometimes younger, if you count sitter-service) facilities and programs had to be designed. The planners wanted to make sure that Omaha's Jewish families thought first of the Jewish Community Center when they wanted the best experiences for even their young children. i As Chuck Monasee, chairman of the Center study groups, """had said, "As far as I was concerned, we were doing the Center for our children; if we succeed in attracting children of all ages to the Center we'll have done our most important job." . The old V had a Preschool for some years also. In 1954 the Pre-scbool committee hired Eloise Dillon, who, according to Evie Zysman, ''was one of the finest pre-scbool teachers in the
' reading, cooperative play, fun with others, respect," she says, "all these things start at a very young age in a school which promotes them." Evie was an important contributor to the plan of the preschool. She and husband Jack had been in the business of supplying pre-schools and elementary' schools with books, games, math, reading, art supplies and other learning materials forbver 20 years. Her MA. degree in social work led to her interest In early childhood education. So many teachers asked her advice on ci3ssroon> methods, behavior problems 2nd unstsrisis ihsi shs • encouraged them to form the Omaha Association for the Preschool teachers' professional group, Education of Young Children, a chapter of the national organization, so she could talk to them all at one time! A good Jewish Pre-school then promotes growth and learning, and Jewish identification. It also has attractive, up-to-date materials, ample classrooms and other play-space (at the center the children have the extra luxuries of the pool, gym and theater), and a valuable and fun-filled daily learning program. Jane Brooks, Immediate past chairman, of the preschool committee, says, "We know it's a good school. The program is
state." Then, as now, a teacher's credentials were the first con-" sideration. Mrs, Dillon is black, and in pre-equal opportunity days, the JCC perhaps took an early lead! As one father on the hiring committee then said, ''We're not asking about her color, we'reasklngwhatshecandoforourchildren." As the Jewish population moved west and the synagogues opened their own pre-schools for the convenience of their members, the JCC school closed. A decade or more later, when the new "J" was being planned, the Jewish population had shifted west again*. The synagogues were asked if they objected to the Center opening a pre-school for all Jewish children. There were no'objections,' although Beth El, Temple and Beth Israel continued their own ~ pre-schools as long as there was a demand among their membership. • •."'.' . Temple has suspended 1U school for the first time this year. -• | t has not yet been decided if it will re-open again. Beth El has not had a school for the last several years and Beth Israel operates BBmallpre-schooL And so, the idea of a fine pre-school for 3-5 year olds at the "J" was always part of the plan. The pre-school sttidy committee back in 1970-71, chaired by Jane Brooks, had agreatdealto say about what space should be included in the new building, : and how it should be designed. Evie Zysman, one member on the planning committee whose expertise in pre-school education was often tapped, says: 'The'planning committee was good; it was an active group of. strong parents who realized the crucial importance of a good pre-school"experience for children. They were responsible for building one of the best pre-schools in town." What does it mean to be one of the best early childhoods education centers In town? Children's social and emotional growth, and the joy of their daily experiences are some indicators. And for Jews, the quality of the childrcn's,Jewish Identification is important. . Evie adds^ "People often forget, especially as their kids move into older activities like sports and drama classes, that it all begins with little "babies" — children form attitudes and life „ concepts very young.1' "If we want good Jewish identity as well as readiness for

centers around feelings. I want most of all for the children to have warm feelings about these observances and the Jewish children to identify themselves as Jews. Even though we have many non-Jewish children at the center school, everyone is clear that this is a nursery school with Jewish content. Here, the Jewish children feel special about what Is special in Judaism." Jesse continues. "I think my experience with mentally handicapped children has made me especially sensitive to the uniqueness of each child. My training and my personal beliefs cause me to feel that many parts of how a child behaves are devtispwicnia!; •tha* is, proceeding along a stage by stage growth pattern, often predictable, but suited to that particular child'space." She adds, "Those years working with children for whom all • things did not go right, makes me very aware of what needs to go right in the classroom and between people to make the best growth possible—and how to foster it." "I love to be around children," she says, "and I think I have cerain talents which are good for them. 1 really believe that children are not small adults, and do pot perceive the world as ' we do. I believe that teaching young children is crucial andtobe treated wtlh great seriousness. I try to see through their eyes — to be sensitive to what they need, how they feel. I think there's still a lot of kid in me!" Jane Brooks says, "The Center pre-school is very lucky to . have Jessie, and to have had her contribution since the start. She is a fantastic director and teacher." Mrs. Zysman adds: "I hope she'll always work at the Center pre-school." . Maxlne Kirshenbaum, the current chairman of the preschool committee feels the same. "Jessie worked so hard that first spring before we opened, along with Janet Rosensteln and Judy Fellmon, the other teachers. She wasn't the director at the time (Bob Litvak had both responsibilities—Camp Newman and the pre-school), but she worked as though she were organizing, planning, getting the school ready. It was a fantastic first year!" ' "Our daughter, Debbie was 4 that first year," says Maxlne. "The experience was so nice for her, the care and gentleness was so good — that she always called the Center "my building!" Two other parents have lovely talestotell. One nonJewish parent told the-teachers that when they say grace before meals" at their house, then* child first says the motze and then finishes with the appropriate Christian phrases, to everyone's delight. The Barry Weinstelns receive bubbly, detailed explanations . from their daughter, Amy, 4, about how she helped build (he suk- . kah, celebrated Sukkot, and welcomes in the Shabbat every Fr):_ day. "We Just'"kvel," he says. "I think the pre-school is doing avery good job." Phil Cofman. Center director really says it all. "First thing in the morning, and through the day, 1 sec the youngest children throughout the building, laughing, on their way to the pool, or coming back from the gym. It's a joy. They give the building part of its life —they're the future, you know." •. ' Next Week: What do pre-school children do all day? Center preschool program and teachers.
