Proxy Marriage Plan for Jewish Women

By Morris MaUne The 1978 'Omaha Jewish Philanthropies Campaign is' off and running. Federation. President Leonard Goldstein has appointed a team of leaders to spearhead a vigorous campaign. "We are on our way with an early start this year. We have a top-flight group of dedicated volunteers with a difficult job to do but we are proceeding with confidence and optimism," Goldstein said. The two teams of cochairmen are as follows: Joe Kirshenbaum and Harlan Noddle for the Men's division, and Leslie (Cookie) Hoberrnan and Lois (Ducky) Milder for the Women's Division. "While it's a little early to set goals, we must recognize that a minimum increase of 10 per cent Is needed to compensate for inflation," Goldstein said. He added that Omaha has not kept up with inflation the past few years and now must (Continued on Page 2)

Anniversary of Death By Shirley Goldstein Chairman, Omaba Committee for Soviet Jewry " Twenty-five years ago — on August 12, ,1952 — 24 leading Jewish writers, actors and intellectuals were executed by the Soviet Government. This was the ultimate expression of Stalin's quest to eradicate Jewish culture, Judaism and Jewish consciousness in the USSR. To this day, the Soviet Union has failed to lift the death sentence the regime has imposed on Jewish culture. ' In the winter of 1948-49 it is estimated that over 431 Jewish artists, writers and musicians were arrested, most of whom died in labor camps. But the fate of.the most prestigious Jewish intellectuals^ was reserved for the'summer of 1952. The "Jewish Trial" began on July 11, 1952 and lasted until the 18th. Among the 25 accused were the leading poets and writers — David Bergelson; Itslk Feffer; Peretz Markish; Benyamon Zuskin, and several academics and physicians. The accused were charged with being l) "Rebels" . . . 2) agents of "American imperialism;" 3) enemies of the USSR." The "court" on July 18, 1952, pronounced its verdict — the death penalty. Only one of the 25 was sentenced to a long prison term. On August 12, 1952 the executions were carried out in the cellars of the Lubianka Prison in Moscow. Recently, more ominous echoes of the Stalin state period were reawakened by allegations in Izvestia that some Jewish activists for emigration to Israel committed espionage and were linked to the American CIA, One of them, Anatoly Sharansky, has been held in prison since March 4 without rights to an attorney. Tosif Begun, in a Catch-22 situation, has been sentenced to two years in exile in Magadan near the Arctic Circle for "parasitism" after not being allowed to work when he applied to emigrate. Begun, 46, has been seeking to leave for Israel for the past five years. The evaluation of the Helsinki Accord currently going forth in Belgrade has not yet given us a scorechart of matching words and deeds. But one thing is certain: the promises that were made two years ago in Helsinki have not been kept. The 24 murdered writers, poets and intellectuals of 1952 are still remembered . \ . if we forget them . . . and those that are now being persecuted, It can happen again.

course, it Is a heartbreak for you, but remember, he does still love you and knows that you are his real parents. He is curious and feels Incomplete. Most of us know who we are, both from a social and biological standpoint, but the adopted child does not. Your understanding of his need to know can only strengthen your relationship. Your son needs you more now than ever before. Offer your 'help to him. Help him understand that the search will probably-be long and difficult. Although it seems to be a rejection of you as his parents, it is definitely not. Many adopted children have found this to be a rewarding experience, others have been disappointed. Your son should probably seek some professional counseling before he begins his search so that he can sort out his feelings and understand the consequences of his search. The fact that you care and let your son know this will draw you closer together in the years to come.

The Written Word. . . ByMorris Maline To celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary, Henry and Sally Appel, of 12806 Harney street, gave a party last week for 170 friends and relatives at the Highland Country Club. Henry's parents and several other relatives traveled from London, England, to attend the party while other relatives and friends came from Toronto, Chicago, and St. Louis. To top off the evening's festivities, Henry celebrated the occasion by singing, "My Gal Sal," In his mellowed, but still evident English accent. When friends asked Sally what kind of gift she would welcome for her anniversary, she replied that it would please both her and, Henry if contributions were made to the Dr. SherHome. Sally is a dedicated volunteer at the Home, < so it is a natural location for another upcoming party. An oneg In honor of the Appels will take place at the Home, Aug. 20 from 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 and the entire community is invited, the co-hosts, Mr. and Mrs. Norman Pltlor, and Mr. and Mrr Nate Shukert have announced. Another couple, Mr. and Mrs. William Levey recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary, and their friends contributed to the purchase of new kitchen equipment at the Home. It looked as if more than 100 persons, from

the age of nine months, to the mid 80s, attended the latest In a series of Shabbat dinners at Beth El Synagogue. "This Is truly a family affair," said Rabbi Kenneth Bromberg, slightly tanned, and enthusiastic about his vacation trip to the mountains out west. He quipped, "Morris is here as an investigative reporter to see If our Shabbat dinner is as good as he thought it was." .The dinner, the warmth and friendship expressed by those attending, was most enjoyable — one big happy family. The service following dinner was equally enjoyable. Comfortable surroundings, a good sound system, the clear enunciation of Rabbi Bromberg, and the outstanding musical talent of Cantor Chalra Najman transformed a regular workday Into Shabbat.

Good News The Demographic Survey of the Omaha Jewish. Community,- prepared for the Omaha Jewish Federation, is an interesting document. Among a great deal of useful information is some data that should be extremely interesting to advertisers. . For example, "Readership of the Jewish Press is widespread in the Omaha Jewish community . . . Of those 20'years or older, 76 per cent report they read it regularly, and another 13 per cent say they read it sometime. "Readership of the Jewish Press generally increases with each age grouping, increasing from 56 per cent reporting reading it regularly in the 20-29 year-old group to a high of 88 per cent in the 60-69 old group..." We can tell from our experience that the Jewish Press is an intensely read paper. We get a continuing stream of comment and pressure from readers attesting to the fact that everything is read and noted — good news for advertisers with a product or service to sell.

SAFED — The sightseeing bius makes a 45 minute stop during which the tourists can get a cold drink, pay a hasty visit to the big art exhibition, and possibly make a quick purchase of a painting. The bus resumes its tour of the Galilee. When they get to their hotels in the evening, the tourists seek to recall something interesting from their visit to the Art Colony in Safed. The result is disappointing and frustrating.. Few visitors ever get close to the colony. Today 55 artists and sculptors constitute' the membership of Use association which encompasses: the colony. They occupy the ruins of abandoned Arab homes which they have purchased or rented, and with ingenuity and talent have transformed Into attractive Bohemian quarters. Some are highly successful, commerically. Others seem to have little income and perhaps paint for the love of art. A number of their best paintings hang in the lobbies of Safed hotels, reminders of

the days when they first settled here and literally starved. An attractive canvas, offered to the hotel manager and hung on the hotel walls, was good for a month of meals. Some of the artists refer to those days as their "fresco period." Aside from the collective gallery, in which every artist participates, each is on bis own. Naturally there is a degree of competition,

especially among people with temperament. Yet they respect each other. One of them told me: No artist here is really as good as he thinks he is. And no artist is as bad as his neighbor says he Is. There has been a turnover of residents. Some have left One can detect a note of bitterness when the name of Moshe Castel Is mentioned. He attained perhaps the greatest

THE WASHINGTON POST emotionally denounced it as "more than deeply disappointing . . . reckless, provacative and Indefensible . , . wholly unrealistic and incompatible w i t h . . . a lasting settlement... a challenge that Carter can no longer Ingnore." ' More temperate and cerebral, THE NEW YORK TIMES editorialized that the granting of legal status to the settlements "does little to alter the existing situation" but "the context and timing of the action are disturbing" for, the TIMES said, "this was hardly the time for Israel to be asserting new territorial claims or to give the Arabs a new pretext for avoiding difficult questions." It speculated that Begin's action may have, been a concession toright-flankmilitants and that Begin intended only to legalize some existing settlements without creating new ones. In which event, the TIMES-said, the United States should be so informed.

A Middle Bast military dictator holds power if be provides his - armies with sophisticated weapons and smart uniforms. If be fails, he is swiftly overthrown by a conservative general or a radical corporal. Accordingly, Arab leaders have exploited the Cold War to extort arms from both East and West, while Washington and Moscow nave periodically traded clients. (Remember the ill-fated Baghdad Pact of the 1950's.) Israel has been the victim of the Moscow-. Washington competition. All the Great Powers have armed her adversaries. The competition now moves to Africa, where the United States proposes new weapons for three Arab League states — Egypt, Somalia and Sudan — while their past arms supplier concentrates on Libya and Ethiopia, which previously secured weapons from the West. The process is lubricated by the Persia.-. Gulf Croesus — Saudi Arabia — which is also A Look at History, slated to receive advanced American bombers and which alchemizes oil into arms.

TO THE EDITOR I must take issue with a letter to the editor in which the writer complains about the high cost of synagogue membership. I maintain that inour community, the cost of synagogue membership is not only reasonable, but Is really the best bargain in town. Stop and think about what you get In return for your membership dues. 1. The services of a rabbL The rabbi conducts religious services, delivers sermons, teaches classes, visits the sick,-marries and buries and' performs all the duties that pertain to the religious llfecyde. He is also available for very specialized attention to individuals with personal needs and problems, a service which consumes sissy hours of his time each week. 2. The services of a cantor.

success of all, and though be retains his home in Safed, seldom appears there any more. ; : Prices of the paintings are determined by the artists themselves, and long experience dictates what the market will bear. A tourist who admires a painting in the central gallery will be disappointed If be thinks he can get It cheaper by going directly to the artist. The association has a parttime executive secretary, Hayira Llvnat, who tries to help keep matters on a business basis. Artists, you know... Of late there has been a small invasion of-outsiders who seek to capitalize on the colony and its atmosphere. Anyone who wishes can buy or rent a shack and do as he likes.

His crudely hand painted signs (art) announce the availability of hamburgers, falafel, ice cream and beer. The structure has been condemned as Illegally built, and Is supposed to be torn down. Nobody in the municipality seems to care, and the court decision Is simply ignored. Tourists who spend a little time in Safed sometimes com• plain they can't get close to the artists — to see how they live. Says Livnat: The artist' would be happy to receive them into his home.

His program for the Shabbaton, a week-end devoted to the enhancement of Shabbat, is titled "Meeting your Jewish Self".

"By means of experiential workshops, Dr. Elkins,-who has served as rabbi of two major congregations, will lead the group to expand our Jewish identity, raise our Jewish consciousness, and clarify our Jewish values," said Rabbi Kenneth Bromberg Members of ORT as well as of Beth El. "We are privileged gome professional models will to have such a man in our be wearing clothes from midst and look forward to havSabrina.

And all this in a building that U heated in winter, alrconUtioned in summer and properly maintained throughout the year. I approximate the average cost of synagogue membership in our community at about $250 a year, or about $5 a week. Is it worth it? —One visit to the movies for a couple could cost that and more. ,. -One visit to the hairdresser- must cost at least that. •:..,, —One lk hour piano lesson may cost that amount —One week's, supply of cigarettes may exceed that

amounf. If s y n a g o g u e c o s t s discourage everyone from membership, It may be because synagogue is not a major priority to such a person. Unfortunately, it is often the last item on one's budget, and the most dispensable. The criticism, then, should be directed at where it rightfully belongs, and that Is certainly not at the synagogue. To conclude: Synagogue membership cost is the best bargain Ujjtown. Isaac Nadoff
