It's not uncommon for people to wear a Star of David for the first time and to talk for months about the intense feelings that being in Israel aroused in them. Most say their stay in Israel changed their lives. A trip to Israel Is being offered by the Omaha Jewish Federation, in conjunction with United Jewish Appeal, for 10 days, Jan. 16-26. The UJA sponsored trips arc geared especially as "study missions," experience's with the people, government ofOctal* manufacturing centers, and settlement towns, which tourists usually do not sec on regular. visits. The unique point of view of these trips makes a repeat visit for people who nave been to Israel therefore not a repeat exv perience. Louis B. Solomon, Federation director, will present an information evening Monday, Dec 20, 7:30 p.m. at the Jewish Community Center for everyone Interested In knowing more about the January trip. He will discuss the Itinerary, special events on the trip, and tips for travel in Israel. Coffee will be served,' The cost of the trip is $1049 from New York and Includes three meals a day and accomodations in deluxe hotels. •• Harlan Noddle, chairman for the trip, will also be present at the information ses-

continuing contributions to Israel and her causes. "We should not live In a fool's paradise while we are surrounded by enemies," Mrs. Bellin told the assemblage. "We must be ready for any eventuality." Mrs. Bellin reminded the dinner guests that there are many countries which do not permit the sale of Israel bonds. Referring to the UN vote equating Zionism with racism, Mrs. Beilln said we must "fight It with Zionism Itself." The warmth and goodness of Lena Grossman shone like a beacon as she graciously accepted the award with a simple but effective thank you speech. Scrolls of honor signed by each person in attendance and by the officers of every organization to which she ,belongs were presented,by a patron host from each tante.. they! were'called forward by Tom -Fellman, who with his wife Darlynn,•' chaired the corps of patron hosts.

\/ • By Judith Marburg OMAHA—Do the young people get the same benefits from functions such as the recent USY convention as the involved adults think they should? This Is always a valid question when confronted with people from such wide age range groups. The expectations and conclusions of some of the adults concerned with the recent Kinnus '70 were explored In last week's Jewish Press. This week some of the members of Beth El Synagogue's United Synagogue Youth organization who were most intimately involved with Kinnus '76 were asked for their reactions. Ksrti Epstein and Tina Reader -were the USY co chairmen (With Ed Fried) for Kinnus. They, Andy Cohen, Hillel Bromberg 'and Leora Mirvish talked about the convention and their reactions to It. ' The consensus was that this Kinnus was better than ever before. Much of their success was attributed to careful planning started more than six months In advance. The opportunity to meet other young Jewish people was very high on their list, as it was with the Involved adults. "Kinnus is essentially a time for making friends and having fun," they said, "but more people went to the various study sessions than we really expected." The teens agreed that USYers at the convention "went to one study group, liked It more than they anticipated and went back toothers." . • •• _ Tina commented that they had more cooperation from the. kids and toe chairmen were better organized than at previous conventions. Because the Hilton is a large, well-run hotel, the teens said that they did not feel aff crowded as they had last year In Kansas City. Their biggest complaint — made almost with tongue In i cheek — was that the elevators were to crowded, at most a minor annoyance. Tfete Kinnus '76 theme "Make a friendship that sticks at Klnus 76" was especially appropriate because the. group was young, and new, most conventioneers not knowing each other at the start,•

"We feel we learned from last year," Marti stressed. "Somehow everything seemed better. Things ran more smoothly and there were fewer complaints." ~ . The greatest contrast in the adult-teen viewpoints comes, not unnaturally, with the amount of "learning" achieved at such conventions. As previously mentioned, this year the USYers felt that more attention than usual was given to the various workshops and study groups by those at Kinnus. Hillel Bromberg commented that he felt services were really

One Interesting complaint they mentioned came from having a girl read Torah. But no matter what went wrong, the group agreed that "the spirit at Kinnus was fantastic. The ruacn at the closing circle Friday night was great." About 30 members of Omaha Bllu USY attended Kinnus '76. TO be eligible to attend Kinnus a USYer must be ertaember ift good standing - attend the High School of Jewish Studies, attend at least two religious services each month and 75 percent of USY functions — and have dues paid up. Not only can Bllu USY be proud of the planning and work which made Kinnus 76 run smoothly, It can also be proud of the honors it and its members received. Two members were elected to regional offices, Ed Fried, regional president; Marti Epstein, corresponding secretary. Bruce Kutler won best member in his chapter and Leora Mirvish took second place in the regional sculpture competition. In addition, Bllu USY won "all around chapter excellence for a mid-size chapter." Perhaps the crowning moment for the group, however, was the standing ovation they received for their performance of "Once There Was A Hasld" which will be repeated for the community at Beth El Synagogue, 7:30 p.m., tonight, Dec. 10.

Israel are more moderate in '• thier views on the Middle East; than many ot the political leadership of the country. Perhaps precisely because of Uieir military experience they .prefer to try other solutions to the conflict in our area. In this connection it might be pointed out that two of the leading exponents of compromise and conciliation and deference to Arab demands are none other than, two tonner Generals, Meir Pa'U and Matltyahu Peled who are regarded as being on the extreme left fringe of the left wing.) Yet the. red herring of "generals are upon you"- vriil still be heard.

Cat Latkes • By David Schwartz (Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Inc.) Jews eat iatkes. That Is understood all over ttie world. There are Russian Jews, American Jews, French Jews, tall and short Jews, Republicans, Democrats, but one thing is common—they like latkes. That is fundamental—like all men are created equal. H you eat latkes, you feel good, you are friendly to everyone, you are charitable, you are just, you will not tolerate the thought of war—yoa-are civilized. , Latkes are good any time of the year, but this is the special season. Besides the benevolent effect of the latkes, . there is the historical significance and with a special meaning perhaps to the world today. - The world faces an oil shortage. The Hanukkah latke recalls the story of such a shortage. When Judas Maccabeau entered the Temple after defeating the Syrian General Antlochus, there was oil enough there for only one day but it miraculously lasted for a week. How could one better celebrate that than by eating latkes? They liked ' them so much that now latkes-are common at all times of the year. The Maccabean victory had consequences for the entire world—not only to the Jews. . ~ Today the world has an oil problem again. Israel cannot supply this oil, yet the fact seems to be that Israel is helping at least to keep the price of oil lower. Recently the press carried an Associated Press report about a meeting of ten of the Arab oil nations in Kuwait : The dispatch quotes a member of the group warning the others to be moderate In raising the oil price. He warned that if they raised the price too much, they would be doing exactly "what the Zionists want them to do." 'In other words, they fear that a large Increase In the price of oil would benefit Israel, and not wanting that, they are forced not to raise the price too much. So Israel Is helping keep the price of oil down to some extent; So I think the whole world should begin to eat latke». ' -

Increased Regulation Brings Increased Problems ByBenLaub The proliferation of federal regulations and requirements,' payment mechanisms which offer no incentives for cost containment, and Increases in the minimum wage level are three major /actors responsible for increasing costs in homes for the aged. . Homes for the aged today are a prime example of a totally regulated Industry. In conjunction with this, the Dr. Philip Slier Jewish Home for the Aged meets the Federal Government, State of Nebraska, and Douglas County definitions for licensure as an intermediate'care facility. Essentially, the terminology acknowledges the Home's ability to care for a more and less ambulatory elderly population, requiring rehabilitative services. The latter group also includes individuals whose physical or mental infirmities limit their ability to exit the Home, without assistance. Federal and state regulations, Inspections, surveys and reporting forms, all take away from the organization! efforts to deliver economical quality of care to residents. In effect, more controls have resulted In' dflpllcatlve and Ineffective administration. . ,, Programs which are regulated, are more concerned with justifying services rendered through extensive paperwork, rather than with assuring that the needed services are provided. Regulations tend to focus on the wrong questions, asking ."Is it the right way to do it, rather than, Is it the right thing to do?" Current regulations which were developed hi the hopes that it would assist facilities to properly locate residents housing needs In the proper settings are artificial and will create''circumstances In which residents will be moved like pawns In a fiscal chess game. Although It may achieve certain fiscal objectives, it will be a significant and destructive force in rendering quality care for the aged. What regulators fail to understand is that long term care facilities serve not as a medical model, but as the older adults' homer. Residents want to have some control over their destiny. They do not want to be shuttled between a home for the aged and a setting they do not choose, simply because the State Health Department sees a fiscal short cut. Current regulatory plans are insidious attacks on the psychosoclal well-being of residents. It appears that bad regulatory usages tend to drive out good meanings. In the past, there was nothing especially ominous In the concept of a well-regulated life. In the past 10 or 15 years the regulations have taken on a different cast. If the aged have one prospect to fear, tt is the prospect that we maybe entering the age of the regulators. There is nothing new in the kind of regulations we are witnessing today;

It is merely an extension of a theme as old as the Republic. But what we are witnessing in this bicentennial year is a change not only in degree, but also in kind. The speed of governmental regulation increases; the field enlarges. The idea.is pot to regulate but rather to render. In some areas, regulations were fixed and objective, now considerations creep in that are more subjective, more matters of judgement and interpretation of how fair or how balanced. -I; Will regulations improve the quality of life for the elderly? Will it effectively deal with runaway health care costs while being sensitive to the physical and mental well-being of the aging?j, In the final analysis, it is the residents who must have control over the regulations and their own destiny.

IN DEPTH: cJSftSLr —A continuing leries of articles to better acquaint you with your Federation. 1 By Barbara Simon / The Children's department of the Center is one of the most exciting areas to be a part of, says Saranne Gitnick, chairman of the Children's committee. It is exciting, she says, because it is one of the few departments still in the formative stages. Only since last summer did it emerge as a full department in" ' its own right, with its own committee to help with planning, a director, Denise Greenberg, with enough time to devote to more careful hiring and programming, and a budget with promise of becoming adequate for truly quality classes and events for children from kindergarten through the sixth grade. Both Denny Greenberg and Saranne Gitnick feel that within six to eight months many innovative programs will be offered that the Center has never considered before. Denny emphasizes: "As excellent as the sports and athletic programs are at the 'J' for this age group — there's so much more we can give children than sports." • ; \ For instance, by February the Children's department hopes to offer classes In Family Life education, both tor young people and their parents — separately and In combination-. Still in the planning stages, these classes may involve four to six sessions concerned with questions such as: What does it mean to grow up? What is maturity? What is responsible sexualtity? What does it mean to be male or female? Professionals in the child-growth, medical, psychology and counseling fields are being asked to join the children's committee to help plan this series of classes. "" '•• Also under consideration is a workshop for parents called "Parenting," designed to acquaint parents with awareness training, communication skills and ways to contribute to more loving relationships between them ajid their children. 'Mrs. Greenberg is organizing her staff for Children's Theater. productions, in cooperation with the Performing Arts department. In the plans are plays for Purlm or Passover. "Our ap-

Like many of our projects, it's learning while doing. The Jewish content is there, too, but very subliminally," she says. For instance, the plays will center around Jewish holiday themes: in craft classes the children produce Jewish ritual items they can use, such as challa covers, spice boxes, caridle holders; in the cooking classes kosher rules are Introduced and traditional dishes prepared; and in the clubs, events are planned around Jewish themes, such as holiday parties, Israeli political days.

They may be one-time sessions or stretch to two or three meetings in such interest areas as bicycle safety, kites, gardening, nature study, chess, ping pong, carpentry.1- . • • ' • . The Children's department Is encouraging family activities also — as Is the entire Center. They may offer family camping workshops — how to pitch a tent, cook on an open fire — and • family hikes, to name a few events under consideration. "We're very eager," says pensise, "to be part of the emphasis that the Center should not be a place where children are dropped off while parents go somewhere else. We hope to provide good experiences for the whole famWy," Here are some of the excellent staff people who instruct and lead the children's classes and activities: Marcia Green is Club 56, advisor, has her B.A. in Human Development and Music Eduactlon from UN-L and was camp director for the Nebraska State 4-H Camp for three years. She coordinated music and leadership activities at Camp B'nal B'rith in Starlight, Pa. and Is currently employed by BBYO midwest region.

The NewestImmigrants — Soviet Jews By Ben G. Frank NEW YOBK-The scene Is the John F. Kennedy International Airport. The jumbo jet from Rome has just landed. After a - quick, but thorough check, the arriving passengers step up to one of the glass doors and cross the electric eye beam. The doors, with the signs above them marked "U.S. Government Clearance," slide open and they walk Ufa new life in a new land. They are one of the newest waves of Jewish immigrants to ; the United States of America. They are Soviet Jews. 'Already there are about 15,000 Soviet Jews in the U.S. and they are now coming in at the rate of approximately 5,000 to 6,000 a year. During the first six months of 1976, 3,275 Jews from Russia came to American shores, according to MAS, the world-wide immigration agency. About half of them settled in New York where they were aided by NYANA, New York Association for . New Americans. The others made their way to communities throughout the U.S. — large and small. More and more, American Jews are meeting Jews from the USSR and are becoming aware that these newcomers certainly arrive here with a "different set of psychological and educational baggage" than the Russian Jew who settled on the Lower East side 50 to 75 years ago. In point of fact, the Soviet Jews "probably are having the hardest time of any Jewish immigrant ever in adjusting to the . U.S. "No group in recent years has faced so many difficulties in .adjusting to a new country," were the. words of the Council of Emigres in the Professions. To understand these new Jewish immigrants better and to appreciate their problems, it is crucial, according to various Soviet Jews and officials who have worked with them, to focus on those very differences which make them unlike other Jewish newcomers to this country. • First and foremost, there is an Immediate psychological challenge to overcome. All their energies were spent on getting out of the Soviet Union, to such an extent that they never really {thought in specifics about the future. Suddenly, they are free and they must immediately adjust to a new world for which they jure not often prepared. r In discussing the adjustment of Russian Jews to the U.S. one must always keep in mind that Soviet Jews are raised In a Com-' rnunlst state. "The newcomers are the first small wave of products of a totalitarian society," said Mrs. Pauline Bllus, director of Project ARI, which works with Soviet Jewish immigrants. Because of the very nature of the Soviet regime, "the baggage" of these newcomers can Include a terrible sense of fear and suspicion. Some believe that after living under Communism for more than a half century, the fear bred Into them can literally, destroy them psychologically. Dr. Yehuda Nir, a psychiatrist and professor of psychiatry at Mt. Sinai School of Medicine, is one of those who believe that. Dr. Nlr pointed out that the one common denominator of Russian Jews he discovered was their ability to accept suffering as the central part of their existence. They have "gone through hell," he said, first as Russians In World War II and then as Jews. It is therefore not surprising, he added, that they expect * special treatment and have special expectations. ~ Mrs. Bllus agrees: The present Russian Jew'comes t o ' America with "totally unrcalistslc expectations. Every Im--mlgrant wants to achieve, but the Russians expect to achieve it " f a s t e r , " she declared, adding forcefully,'"not tomorrow, but now, today."

It also must be kept in mind that when they lived in the US,these Jews were raised in a Communist state which guides than and which provides them with an education, medical care, a job and even a crowded apartment at low rent. "They simply are not oriented to our society," said Mrs. Bilus. "Bewildered," is the key word if one wants to understand what is happening to Soviet Jews in their initial adjustment. There are just too many choices for them to make in their new and free life in America, say observers of Russian Jews. Moreover, the spending priorities In the Soviet Union are different. There, he really only had to worry about spending for food and clothing. Here, his money priorities soon also become Involved with an apartment, medical care, taxes — items which he never bad to be concerned about. Money, its use and distribution, suddenly becomes important to the Soviet Jew. In addition, there is a completely new environment of banking, charge accounts, medical insurance, and credit cards — a long way from the USSR where all transactions are In cash. In Russia, if you want to buy a car, you take the cash with you even If the high amount needed means that you have to carry it all In a suitcase. Many of the former waves of immigrants to the U.S. — and certainly recent ones — become involved in the local synagogue which traditionally has been one of the places of absorption of a new group into the social structure. * .' . But this does not happen with the vast majority of Soviet Jewish immigrants who have never considered the synagogue as anything other than a rallying point for a demonstration. One must understand that after living In the Soviet Union which physically arrested Jewish education and Jewish life, few of the newcomers have any Jewish background at all; It is a miracle that they are still Jews.

in that profession. Not so the Russian Jew. In the USSR, they are accustomed to a planned economy and employment security where the burden of finding a position for a person can be with the university, the government, and even one's Mends. In the U.S. the burden Is on the individual to obtain employment, and though friends can help, it is still the job seeker who must find the opening. The Soviet Jew believes that he is "locked into" his first job; that it is forever. Despite the difficulties, It must be pointed out that Russian Jews manage. In fact, according to Dr. Herbert Bernstein, executive director of NYANA, 80 per cent of the Russian Jewish newcomers are economically self-sufficient within six or seven months after their arrival here; 20 per cent a year or longer. He then went on to say that virtually no one is on public welfare, adding that the "Jewish community has taken upon itself the moral obligation and the responsibility for helping fellow Immigrant Jews stay off public welfare." There is no doubt that tough as it is for them Russian Jews are overcoming 'their problems. This writer never met a Russian Jew who wanted to return to the USSR. In one area, they seem to be very happy. They can live as Jews in freedom and relaxation, and not be afraid of being Jewish. Moreover, they have a much higher standard of living here and are impressed with all the consumer goods they can buy. The life of a new immigrant to any country is never easy. They often (eel like little fish hi a big pond. But by and large, because they are bright; well-educated, and hard working, Russian Jews will do well In this country, a nation of immigrants. What their Jewish identity will be like is a matter of conjecture 1

Some observers of Russian Jews believe that those who managed to retain religious practices as well as those who have become religious here, have a better adjustment to America. The biggest challenge facing Russian Jews Is the "job", The real difficulty Is that of moving right into their old professions. Physicians, dentists and other health care professionals have a problem In the U.S. where licensing requirements are often more stringent than in the USSR. Many of the Russians, even though they have been warned of the hurdles facing them before they can begin to practice their former professions in the U.S., often unrealistlcally expect that the Jewish community possesses the powerlo influence to help them overcome the obstacles they face., 1 ' Most professionals from the Soviet Union arrive with no knowledge or orientation as to the requirements for practice in the professions in the U.S. They consider themselves fully qualified to work here on the same level as previously and are deeply disappointed to discover that they connot practice with fulfilling American requirements. Russian Jews have no concept of beginning at the bottom if they must, and working up the ladder, so to speak. Many in America, refugees or not, start in "bread and butter" jobs as they are called.
