Israel Singled Out for Condemnation UNITED NATIONS, ( J T A ) - T h e General Assembly adopted a resolution Nov. 9 condemning "the continuing and increasing collaboration by Israel with the South African racist regime." The vote was 91-20 with 28. abstentions. Israel did not participate in the vote on the resolution or on any of the nine other resolutions dealing with apartheid as a protest against the "selective and dishonest process" of singling out Israel's relations with the Pretoria government. The 20 countries that voted against the anti-Israel resolution were: Australia; Austria; Belgium; Canada; Denmark; Prance; Guatemala; Hon-

duras; Iceland; Ireland; Ital y ; L u x e m b o u r g ; The Netherlands; New Zealand; Nicaragua; Norway; Sweden; United Kingdom; United States; and West Germany. The resolution requested the S e c r e t a r y G e n e r a l to disseminate widely a special report by the special committee against apartheid on the matter of Israel's relations with South Africa. The Arab-Inspired resolution was the culmination of repeated Arab attacks on Israel during the debate on apartheid which began on Oct. 26. Israel's Ambassador to the UN, Chalm Herzog, said In a statement to the General Assembly before the voting-

Humanitarian Awarcl Recipient Will Be OMAHA - Frederick S. Cassman, dinner chairman for the forthcoming OmahaIsrael Dinner of State, has announced that Omaha's Lena Grossman will receive the Eleanor Roosevelt Humanitarian Award on the . occasion of the Omaha-Israel Dinner of State Sunday evening, Dec. 5th at the Omaha Hilton Hotel. "Through a lifetime of committed service to the Jewish community and the State of Israel, Mrs. Grossman has given us a unique experience of devotion", Cassman said. "Every year we are reminded that the fate and condition of Israel are our primary Jewish concern, and each year the destiny we have in common with Israel draws us even closer to its people. We have long stopped thinking that there is any distance between us and our brothers and sisters In Israel. History has swept'•aside the geographic speak of them and the Jews of the rest of the world in terms of the collective "we" in the first person plural. "During the past year one event in its drama and bold planning and execution provided a historic example of Israel's commitment to freedom. There could be no more pointed lesson for freedom than the fact that the spectacular Israeli rescue of the hostages held in Uganda occurred on the 4th day of July — the Bicentennial of the Declaration of American In-

Lena Grossman dependence. When we quote the Biblical prophecy that Israel shall be a light unto the nations, it surely can be applied to Entebbe as a message of resistance to terrorism and of positive action to protect human life and freedom addressed by Israel to the rest of

that Israel would not participate in the voting on any of the 10apartheid resolutions. He said this was because the debate "has been turned into an Ihti-Israel Issue, ignoring as it does the major moral problem) of apartheid which should be exercising this body, because those who prepared the resolution against Israel (the Arabs) are guilty of crimes with which they accuse others; because what we are called upon to participate in Is a monstrous act of deceit and acyrilcal vote based on international hypocrisy and unscrupulous falsehood." Herzog accused the Arabs of turning the debate On apartheid Into a debate on the Middle East. He said the Arabs have riot the slightest interest In advancing the struggle against racial discrimination In the world and that by their anti-Israel drive, they prejudice^ "any prospect to jog' consensus on*-what'., Is clpMf%4h<fcheartft«f. the . Africans.? • "; Herzog:reiterated that the Arab states'have economic ties with South Africa. He named Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq and others: Herzog expressed gratification that increasing numbers ' of states .were refusing to. go along with anti-Israel resolu. tlons In the Genera) Assembly. He noted that a number of Latin American count r i e s — I n c l u d i n g Mexico—switched their positions and abstained in the antiapartheid vote that linked Israel with South America. Both Malawi and Fiji, in their statemets, condemned the "hypocrisy" of singling out Israel. Other countries

Muwamba of Malawi, acussed his colleagues who supported the resolution of "double-faced hypocrisy," noting that "all types of military hardware from both East and West can be found in South Africa:" Herzog noted that the only one of the 10 anti-apartheid resolutions that mentioned Israel found it countries abstaining and 20 opposing. This was the largest number of votes against an. anti-Israel resolution that has been achieved in some time, he said. He also said that during the debate on apartheid, Israel was not attacked by any African country. fi^sjii. ,, Meanwhile,jr\ Buenos Aires Foreign Minister Cesar Guzzetti predicted that In the future Argentina will vote against any resolutions at the United Nations equating Zionism with racism. He made that statement In written replies to questions submitted by the Jewish weekly Mundo Israelite In which he discussed his recent meetings with American Jewish community leaders In the United States and with Israel's Foreign Minister Yigal Alton at the UN General Assembly.

OMAHA-Harlan Noddle,, past president of the Omaha Jewish Federation, has been elected to board of directors of the Council of Jewish Federations snd Welfare Funds (CJF), according to Federation President Leonard Goldstein. Noddle was named to the CJF board during its meeting, ' Sunday, Nov. 14, at the CJF 45th General Assembly held in Philadelphia. The Omaha Jewish community was represented at the General Assembly by Goldstein and his wife Shirley and by Federation Executive Director Lou Solomon and his wifeMarlene. The Omahans noted that they were able to attend most of the many sessions which were presented and brought back new Ideas and Insight which can be applied to attainment of the goals of the Jewish Federation of Omaha. Among t h e G e n e r a l Assembly speakers was CJF Executive Vice President Philip Bernstein who urged Federations to look to the future and create viable new programs for the 1980's. These new programs will be needed, Bernstein said, "to assure the Jewlshness of the Jewish family and home, the quality of Jewish education and specially the highest quality of Jewish educators] new patterns of closer cooperation with synagogues and comprehensive community services for the elderly." In addition, Bernstein noted, support of Israel will have to go beyond resisting the barrage of attacks on It to include assisting it "to build the model society of social justice, intellectual greatness, scientific excellence and spiritual living that are Its true meaning and purpose." CJF President Jerold Hoffberger told the assembled

Consensus Statement Creates Some Friction TEL AVIV (JTA) - Israeli leaders are making no attempt to conceal their anger and disappointment with the United States for Its support of a consensus statement of theSecurity Council Nov. II that strongly deplored the establishment of Jewish settlements In the administered Arab territories snd declared that all Israeli actions "which tend to change the legal status of Jerusalem are invalid." The new friction between Jerusalem and Washington was evident at the Kistadrul Solidarity Conference where 550 American Jewish leaders of the Histadrut Foundation were addressed by Premier Yitzhak Rabin, former Premier Golda Melr and U.S. Ambassador Malcolm Toon. Rabin remarked that he was well aware of the American attitude'and positions "but 1 do not have to say that these

are always right." Mrs. Meir was more vociferous in giving vent to her feelings. She described the American support of the Security Council consensus as harmful and Insulting to Israel and unjust. Mrs. Melr questioned whether American policy has "changed overnight" and If Washington believes that a weak Israel would be easier to deal with. She said that talk of the two sides taklngjrisks for (Continued on Page 2)

AJC Publishes BoycottBpok NEW YORK - T h e American Jewish Committee has published a booklet on the operations of the Arab boycott in this country. The subject, to which' President-elect Jimmy Carter gave a great deal of attention during the recent campaign, is expected to be high on the agenda of the new Congress when' it convenes in January. The booklet, "Twelve Questions and Answers About the Arab Boycott," explains how the boycott operates, whom it affects, and what should be done about it. It examines the history of the boycott since the establishment of Israel in 1949, and its increasing impact since the Arab States' oil embargo against the West. The booklet also surveys how the boycott affects American business; the current IIS law; onH romilatlnng that pertain to the boycott; and legislation likely to be considered by the new Congress on the subject. The American Jewish Committee booklet Includes a guideline of what can be done by business executives, corporate shareholders, bankers', legislators, regulatory officials arid ordinary citizens to combat the boycott. Copies of the booklet at 25 cents each are available from the American Jewish Committee, 165 East 56 Street, New York, N.Y. 10022.

JERUSALEM • Eleven high school giris ruiiguig iii'-Sge from 14 to 17 constituted the first "graduating class" of a novel training course for babysitters at the Beit P o m e r a n t z Community Center in Jerusalem.. The Idea for the course came from a committee of parents who felt that there was a great need for trained babysitters.

The course was developed sad taught by Miss Raehe! Ben Yitzha, a student and social worker in the Early Childhood course at the Paid Baerwald School of Social Work at the Hebrew University. " > • Miss Yitzhak conducted the course as part ol her field work. She met with a selected group of girls for 8 sessions, each lasting about two hours.

Consensus Statement (Continued from Page 1) peace "are nothing but Up service" because to date it was only Israel that took risks by returning territory and strategic positions. Toon told the delegates that the American representative at the Security Council joined the consensus only after negative elements were deleted from the statement. He said the U.S. had to maintain Its credibility in the world and in the Middle East, meaning apparently that failure to go along with the condemnation of Israeli actions in the Arab territories would have lost Washinqton leverage In the Arab world. According to American officials, the U.S. joined the consensus statement because it was more moderate than a similar one which the U.S. had opposed in the Security Council last May. The officials- said that by making the s t a t e m e n t unanimous, the U.S. forestalled an even stronger condemnation of Israeli practices in the administered territories. Such a statement would most certainly have 'been adopted by a majority of the Security Council in face of U.S. opposition. Since the condemnation was in the form of a consensus statement rather than a formal resolution, it would not have been subject to an

American veto. Israeli sources here and in Washington reportedly tend to agree In private with the American explanation. But they are, nonetheless, deeply concerned that a new application of pressure on Israel will be brought to bear much sooner after the American Presidential elections than expected. They are also clearly alarmed that the Security Council statement will encourage extremist elements in the administered areas to launch a new wave of disturbances. The fact that the Security Council consensus was to be followed this week by a debate in the General Assembly over the recommendations of the Committee on the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People increases the possibility of disturbances, Israeli sources said.

Teachers and assistant teachers at the JCC pre-school pictured In alphabetical order are: Barbara Cohen, Cathy Delaney, $ue Donley, Helen Epstein, Mlchele Nielson, Barbara Paul, Kinnl Polsky, Janet Roaensteln and Phyllis Wasserman. (JP Photo)

Barbara Paul has been at the Center pre-school since its opening. She majored in psychology at the University of Colorado and at UNO. She has been the coordinator of Young Judea groups In Omaha, a supervisor and progam dlrecotr at Esther K. Newman Camp, and a coordinator of children's programs at the old Center. She also has chaired the committee which plans for the the camp for the Visually Impaired at Camp Esther K.Newman. _ Helen Epstein has been a teacher-assistant at the Center since Its beginning. She studied early childhood education and elementary education at UNO and U r U , and has taught Sunday school at Beth El for eight years. This year is Mlchele Nielsen's second year as a teacher-assistant. She has studied Child Development at UNO and U N - L . Cathy Delaney Joined the staff as teacher-assistant In December, 1975, after having spent a semester at the pre-school for her student placement assignment f r t m UNO. She is presently working toward her degree in early childhood education there. She has been a camp counselor at Camp. Funshlne for two summers and Is presently teaching a class In the Center Children's Department. ' , JhwDonley Is a teacherraulstant who Is a senior at UNO. She has also attended Weslyan and Texas Universities. She was a counselor for three

years at Camp Either K. Newman and was a supervisor the summer of 1976. Pre-scbool director Jessie Rasmussen guides the teachers and assistant* with some very specific goals in mind. "Sine* some of the major purposes of the school aa I see them are helping children to develop a positive self-image," she says, "and a poaltl ve attitude toward learning, I stress that children should be children - that bow they enjoy school and being with their classmates is more Important than bow many facts they know or learning feats they accomplish." . She continues. " I encourage the teachers to stimulate the children to use their minds, rather than to absorb specific Information — to find their own answers and to acquire the idea that thinking about 'how' and 'why' Is fun. This approach teaches children a kind of thinking habit — an attitude that there are all sorts of possible solutions and answers." Jessie and this writer agree that only a glimpse of the wonderful world of pre-school can come through these articles. For a real treat, come to the pre-school viewing window at the Center and see for yourself I

And how does the public respond to the Center's excellent preschool teachers and program? How is it supported and financed? The' nearly ioo children who attend the pre-school this year are present without any advertising except to the Center

membership. Those children who are not Center members were attracted'by word-of-mouth. Good news travels far. The tuition ($29 month, three-day program; $47 month, fivedays; It Is $35 and $53 for non-members) generates about $25,000 per year, which Is almost the amount needed to cover teachers' salaries. The remainder of the pre-school's expenses are tor art supplies, food, educational materials ($3,700), and for maintenance, clerical help, electricity, telephone, etc. The pre-operates In 1976 on a budget of about $52,000. Almost half of the expenses are met T>y income from students' tuition, and the remainder is, met by part of the Center's operating income ($24,000) and by the Federation (about $2,000). As a department within a Federation agency, the pre-school receives a portion of the dollars we contribute to the Federation, through the Federation's support of the Center. As the Center serves tots and tantas, teaches and preserves Jewish culture and fellowship, instills the love and regard of things Jewish, we should feel gratified to see our dollars so well spent on our future. ' And what about the future for the preschool? There are some definite new plans coming soon, says Jessie. In January or perhaps next Fall, the pre-scbool will offer a twlce-a-week play group for two-year-olds, with parents as classroom aides. According to Jessie, "Social maturing is really the most Important growing that a very young child does — not skill learning or 'book' learning. My concept for this class is to show parents how children grow; what is natural development — and to try to counteract the public school pressures on young children to perform and llve.up to unrealistic expectations." Jessie emphasizes that other than this program and the expansion of the regular enrollment to Include one more afternoon class, the school Intends to hold to its present size and Staff. "We are now concentrating on quality and developing the skills of the staff," she says. We're a good size for the best use of space and teachers." Jessie would like to gradually acquire more playground equipment for strenuous climbing and balancing. She would also like to be able to buy communication and teaching materials which use cassettes and earphones, so children can proceed through learning packets and activities — on language development, for instance — at their own pace. Phil Cofman, Center director, concurs. "There are new materials appearing on the market every year that put Into practice the best that learning research has turned up. For instance, there are kits that help children develop problem solving (Continued on Page 7)

A Strong Carter Can Befriend Israel

HAIFA — Dear Jimmy Carter: You have had so many thousands of letters and cables of congratulation that if I were to send my message through the usual channels it might, simply get lost. Perhaps in this indirect way it may reach your attention. ; At the outset, let me say that Israelis always admire and respect the little man who gives battle to the big and mighty machine and emerges victorious. It Is the David and Goliath complex. Witness

our own history. So you sec there is s -satyrs! empathy with you from the start. Obviously, all of us here followed the American elections with the closest of interest, for we may be affected by the results. In reaction to your victory some people here wonder to what extent your attitude to Israel will be influenced by your devotion to the Bible; by your religious beliefs which teach that the return of the Jewish people to their homeland is part of fulfillment of the prophecies ot

your faith. To what extent will these- eeaslderstiSBS b e bolstered or weakened by pragmatic considerations like oil politics? After all, those who successfully and with impunity revived 18th century piracy in the form of 20th century aircraft hijacking as a way of compelling otherwise powerful nations to do their bidding, will subject you to such pressures In various forms.

Sinai, we have endeavored to fulfill :the sacred Fifth Commandment, to honor our parents. I feel certain that we shall continue' to meet the obligations which Jews throughout the centuries, in good-times and In bad times, have confronted with sincerity and solemn devotion. Part of this commitment to devotion surfaces in the way volunteers serve our elderly. The impact of the vojumteer's role is to bring joy, comfort, and to the extent possible, rehabilitation to the elderly. The very quality of life, of the residents in the Dr. Sher Home is definitely improved by their services. In l a r g e m e a s u r e , volunteers make living more pleasant, more,creative and m o r e c o m f o r t i n g for residents. At the close of our program year; I thank all our volunteers and friends, and wish them health, peace, and prosperity. , May this coming year be as fulfilling for others as it has been for our dedicated volunteers.

plex as that in the Middle East; the *HX*ss-9fywr administration (and not only with respect to Israel) will depend on the wisdom and skill with which you select your advisors. American policy in the Middle Bast has been relatively consistent through the years t no matter who was in the White House, and we expect that any changes you introduce may only be in method, timing and p s y c h o l o g y . When our Minister of Defence, Mr. .Shimon Peres, was asked the other day- what he expected from the new President of the United States he made it clear that details of military support or economic aid were not the major questions. Most im-' portant is that the new President be a strong man. And an astute journalist pointed out that this probably explains why Anwar Sadat and his wife openly wished for Ford's success. I think you will find Israeli leadership and the Israeli public sympathetic with your problems. Please be patient and understanding with us too. We are entering an election year, and you know what that means. Our political leaders will be saying things Intended primarily' for the voter at home - things that may sound strange overseas. We're off to a good start. Be a strong leader, Mr. Carter. Be true to your moral'princ i p l e s . Choose your counsellors wisely. You can yet be recorded in the 200-year rolPof American history as one of your country's great presidents.

Judah Wolf son Recalls the Past By Barbara Simon OMAHA — An older Jewish educator looks back — and forward. Judaji Wolfson, 82, visited Omaha last week from his home in Los Angeles. He was the guest of Eunice Denenberg, a former student of his at the city Talmud Torah at the old JCC and a present friend. His visit was a mixture of poignant memories, sadness and warm, happy feelings. His wife and two of his sons are buried here, and one purpose ofJils trip was to visit the cemetery. "Today, as always," Wolfson says, "all I've really ever re> quired is friends. So many of my students In Omaha have remained my friends — I love them all." Wolfson receives the affection and reverence of dozens of his farmer students whom he taught at cheder either at 21at and Bart, or the city Talmud Torah at the "J", or at Beth Israel. He was a Hebrew and Jewish studies teacher in Omaha from 1916 to 1961. His old "friends" called and came to see him, or expressed to this writer when they beard he had been1 here - "Oh! Mr. Wolfson! How I would have loved to have seen him I" This group of Omahans, now in their forties and fifties—or older—display a remarkable feeling of love and care for a former teacher and scholar some 30 or 40 years later. Who is this man - and why has he called forth this "extended family" decades later and 1,200 miles away? Eonince Denenberg says, "I'm not exaggerating when I say that Judah was one of the most Important people in my life. He had—and h a s - t h a t special ability to relate to and care about young people. I sat in his classes absolutely inspired — I had such a desire to learn from him." Joe (Wolf Bros.) Kirshenbaum was seven or eight when he began studying with Mr. Wolfson at 21st and Burt. "He was kind and had a.tremendous sense of humor," says Joe. "You know," he continues, "in those days we were brought up to respect and even fear our teachers and parents — a very strict, Orthodox attitude. But we loved Mr. Wolfson. He showed a genuine Interest In all of his students — he cared about us - he worried about us — far above his duties as a teacher. I remember that later at the "J" I was a bit of a cut-up and got Into trouble. He always stuck up for me - and was on my side. He always considered his pupils his children." "And he told wonderful stories," says Kirshenbaum "He was warm and human — he made learning pleasant." Wolfson says, " I was trained as a teacher in Russia. I loved my studies and I dedicated myself. Teaching was my life."

Teaching must be wellpaid to attract bright, young people Into the field. Hadassab and other groups do a good work railing money for Israel. In fact, we are all Israelis here — and here too we must take care of ourselves." Wolfson suggests, "We should mount a major campaign to fund a national Jewish eduatton system, to prepare teachers, to attract the best and the brightest to teaching. I think it's wrong to Install young Israelis, who know little more than the language, to teach Hebrew to our children. Would we pull a Frenchman off the street and accredit him to teach French language and culture just because he spoke French?" "This is America," he smiles. "We can do anything. But we must know how serious our need is — and organize ourselves." "And this wonderful America that has absorbed us," he says, "and all the other Immigrants — so that now we have to struggle to keep ourselves knowledgable as Jews - look what a wonderful thing happened to. your Jewish mayor, Zorinsky!

(Continued from PageS) ' techniques — how to express feelings and communicate with others on their young level." . "We should be able to acquire these new materials in order to give our children the best tools in their rapidly changing world," says Cofman. "Our goal, of course, is not Just to accumulate 'things,' but to provide our youngest people with valuable, pleasurable first experiences, so love of school and love of a Jewish environment wiH become part of them." Jessie would eventually lite to "warm op" the traditionally square shaped, hard-surfaced classrooms a bit. "We have some beautiful equipment and furniture, but it's quite institutional and cold," she says. "Research has shown that young children (probably all people) are more receptive, more spontaneous, when their surroundings are more open and more comfortable. It would be nice to have some overstuffed chairs for the kids to read in, carpet to sit on, perhaps a small, multi-level structure that could be a playhouse, a theater, a puppet-stage, a hidjng place." One major possibility for change within the pre-school, that has been considered since before the Center was built. Is expanding to Include all-day "day care." This plan could mean afterschool care for all ages, a kindergarten program for the other half-day when children are out of public school, or an all-day program (or three-five year olds, including a place (or naps and hot lunch. Presently there has not been an expressed«need for such a program from the community, but Cofman says, "We may want to continue to consider all day care for young children as we continue to respond to the economic needs of our community." "Within the next five to ten yean," he adds, "we may see additional changing work patterns among women, reduction in the numbers of pre-school aged children, yet a need (or care (or older children in a quality, Jewish environment." The care and concern for the best for our children continues to occupy the pre-school committee and professionals who plan pre-school programs at the Center, as they have occupied the hearts and souls of Jewish parents since the beginning of time. Teaching methods and theories about children change through the ages, but the feeling Jewish parents have for warmth, beauty, love and carefortheir children remains the same. 1976 pre-school committee: chairman, Maxlne Kirsbenbaum; Janle Batt, Ruth Erman, Lois Flnlcel, Frankle Kasln, Leslie Kully, Cindy Levin, Rocky Lewis, Gloria MUlrriet, SheUa Polikov, Jackie Saylan, Ellle Sherman, Penny Weber, Linda Welnsteln, Terry Zacharia.

Each month an individual or a couple is named "King and/or Queen (or the Day" in honor of outstanding service to the Thursday program sponsored by the Jewish Community Center Older Adult Department.

It refreshed them — it made them willing to listen. We joked and talked and had a wonderful relationship. I told them I was their friend — and that I had good things to share with them from what I had already learned." Wolfson had come to the U.S. alone in 1914 at age 20 and had settled in Cincinnati, working and studying at the University. He met another student there named Jacques Rieur who told hint Omaha was a good place which needed Jewish teachers. He and Jacques both came here and continued their secular education at Omaha University where there were several other Russian students. Wolfson reports that Omaha Jews were starved for knowledge of the new movements in Europe and Russia, and were eager to hear him speak about Zionism and Marxism and what was going on in Palestine. He and a group Including Ethel Levenson Edgar and a Mrs. Kneeter, organized the National Fund here, spoke to labor unions and at the synagogues about Herzl and Zionism and

Moses Hess. After short return to Cincinnati, he was Invited to be the principal of the Hebrew school in Omaha. It was 1916. He began in a house on 24th and Nicholas, adjacent to the synagogue and "That was a fine building," says Wolfson. "It had 10 or 12 rooms and even a fire escape!" The other teachers were his brother-inlaws, Mr. Morganstern, Mr. Hurwitz, and Mrs. Bloch. Wolfson had become the friend of the revered Rabbi Meiches who lived across the street from the 24th and Nicholas synagogue, ("one oi the most outstanding scholars and men—a real aristocrat," says Wolfson), and in 1917 married his daughter, Bess. They lived for awhile with the I.G. Goldsteins, Paul, Art, andBuddy —inthelrhomeon22ndandCalHornia. "He is a special person'" says Art Goldstein. "He had the .. • ability to communicate with kids. The feeling for Mr: Wolfson today Is because he was a fine teacher and dedicated to us and to all children." And what can Judah Wolfson teach adults today about teaching and Jewish education? , ' "It's only a little better today for teachers of Jewish education than In my time," he says. "Our children are our Jewish future, and yet we grant our teachers little status and low pay. They don't make a 11 vlng teaching—It's a great tragedy?'

He says, "Some people have said to me over the years, 'I'm not very educated, but I have a Jewish heart, I give'. I say a Jewish heart Is not enough — It won't do us any good If generations from now there are not any Jews to participate in the programs, the synagogues, the Israel. We need Jewish minds!" He continues. "I feel very strongly that It Is the duty and the obligation of every parent to provide for a deep Jewish education for thter children — they should make it a part of their life— both the financial and emotional support. Teachers' schools must be created and supported. Teachers must be prepared. They must be smart and dedicated — they must be able to inspire children and teach them to love themselves as Jews." "Children must love themselves — their bodies and their heritage, their language and their literature, their heroes. They must have a longing and a nostalgia for their great past and their special choseness. They can't love what they don't know.
