Pressure Needed

Inter short lifetime, Israel has faced crisll these perilous conditions continue. \/r Now, the United States - Israel's major ally -has Jol^dV N the Soviet Union in calling for active negotiations with|the Palestinians. -. Although not stated In black and white, Israel knows that this is an open Invitation to the PLO. Israel has rejected tills possibility time and again for very good reason. One cannot negotiate with someone who plans to murder you. What can we in Omaha do? Our government responds to the pressure of public opinion. We must apply this pressure in the form of telegrams, letters, telephone calls — to our elected representatives in Congress, and to our President In the White House. > This must be done. It there is no outcry on the part of the American public - the Jewish Community in particular - this outrage will become firm policy.

A major study, tracing the success of Arab states in redefining the nature of the Middle) East conflict has been' published by Americans fora Safe Israel (AFSI). The 30-page document meticulously details the efforts waged by Arab leaders during the past 10 years to shift the focus of International attention away from their own adamant refusal to recognize Israel. To achieve this goal, the inquiry shows they devised as a propaganda ploy a "Palestinian" nationalist entity. Indeed, the report contends, Jews were the original and true Palestinians. Before 1948, Zionist groups, publications, associations, and songs all used the term "Palestine" in referring to their land. While Arabs rejected the notion of a Palestinian entity, insisting that the land was part and parcel of Southern Syria, Jews looked upon "Palestine" as a distinct land. Although the Jews had their own name for the region — The Land of Israel —the Arabs never treated the area with enough attention to give It an identification of its own. It simply remained part of Southern Syria. The AFSI study details the historic Arab rejection of a separate "Palestinian Arab State" west of the Jordon River, noting that the British Mandate had already been partitioned into Palestinian Jewish and Arab entities when Israel and Transjordan were created. Transjordan, the investigation reveals, was renamed "Jordan" only after King Abuuiisii complied With British requests that he not enact his original decision to call the regime "Palftstine:" The Palestinian Arab link with Jordan was aptly illustrated, in the 1960's when

Touchdown

||

The Omaha Jewish Community's "Big Red Machine" has kicked off, and the most important contest of the season is under Way. We have fielded a good starting lineup, supported by top-rated coaches. We have a history of powerful victories, but of late, have fallen short of our predicted scores. Our opponent, of course, is neither Oklahoma nor Colorado, but is much, much stronger. We are.fighting a group of rough players: apathy, neglect, disinterest, unconcern, and unwilling, to name a few. This will be a tough match. Our opponent has the ball, but we're going to get it, and we're going to score — not just once, but again and again. Our backfield of Kirshenbaum, Noddle, Hoberman and Milder has some great plays to demonstrate this season. Why don't you join the team and help. We need you to score the big touchdown.

There was a time when we. had to prove, to ourselves and to others, that we were powerful enough to resist attack and deter aggression. The proof is no longer required In this form. Rather should Independence Day be-the time when we parade before our people, and all the world, those achievements In which Israel takes pride.

Don't Ignore Past Errors BylX.Kenen llour

Memory informs foresight. -Diplomacy which ignores past experience Inevitably repeats oast blunders. Consider, for example,'the advice which ; then-Assistant Secretary of State Joseph Sfsco offered in a memorable 1973 speech to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee before an audience of 3,500 on the occasion of Israel's 24th anniversary. In that "evenhanded" address, Sisco had blamed both sides for the failure to achieve peace. But, at the same time, he emphasized that it was a mistake for third parties to try to impose their views in an attempt to produce a settlement. For more than four years, beginning in 1969, Sisco and his State .Department colleagues had been drawing maps — the RushRogers-Jarring-Nixon plan-for minor ad: justments in the borders — in the "myth that peace can be nwde bv proxy." Sisco told his jTaudlence that "powers not party to the conflict, acting Independently or through the UN" cannot "substitute for negotiations bet• ween the parties themselves." j.

Insights on questions of Jewish Interest By Dr. Frederick Uchman, Executive Editor, Encyclopedia Judaic* Q. HOW DID THE M1NYAN COME ABOUT? A. Mlnyan (Heb. (or "numbers"), is a designation for the quorum of 10 male adults, aged 13 years or over, necessary (or public synagogue ser, vice and certain other. religious ceremonies, the authoritative Encyclopedia Judaica states. In the Reform ritual women are counted In the minimum quorum of 10 persons to constitute a public prayer service since they have full religious equality with men, and the conservative ritual has begun to follow thli example. The Talmud derives 10 from the term edali ("community"), which in the scriptures is applied to the ten spies (Num. 13:27). Thus ten men constitute a congregation, the authoritative Encyclopedia Judalca states.. The Talmud also mentions Ruth 4:2 and Psalms 68:27. Some relate the rule to Abraham'* plea to God to save Sodom If at least ten righteous men were found there (Gen. 18:32). On the basis o!.Psalms 82:1: "God standeth in the congregation o( God," the Talmud explains that if ten men . pray together the Divine Presence is with them. Thli quorum of ten adult males is necessary for the following sections of the public synagogue service:.The repetition of the "Amldah" with "Kedushah," the penlaleucha! and "haftarsh" reading's, priestly benedictions, and the "Kaddlsh." Some also require a mlnyan for the -recital of the "Barekhu" invocation: others permit this to be said even If only six or seven males are present. A quorum of ten is also necessary In the rites of comforting the mourners. The recital or the seven nuptial blessings at wedding ceremonies and the special invocation proceeding grace also require a mlnyan. Ten male adulU constitute a quorum in any place, and there is no need for a synagogue building or an officiating rabbi to hold divine service*. In telmudtc times a community was regarded as "a city" if there were at least "ten Idle men" (not occupied by work or other duties) who could come to each synagogue service to make up the mlnyan. R. Johanan said "when God comes to a synagogue and does not find a mlnyan Uiere, He Is angry, as It is written (Isa. 50:2), "Wherefore, when I came, was there no .man? When I called, was there none to answer?" In traditional congregations, especially in Eastern Europe, when it was difficult to hold daily services with a mlnyan, It was customary to pay a few old or idle men to be present twice a day at the services. These people were called "mlnyan men." Incidentally, the number "ten" In the Bible expresses completeness and perfection, and Its sacred character Is exemplified In the Decalogue. There are ten patriarches from Adam to Noah (Gen. S) and ten from Noah to Abraham (Gen. 11:10-27), and the Israelites put the Lord to test tentlme*<Num. 14:22).

Orthodox Jews feel that there are scientific as well as religious reasons for a life of family purity. They cite statistics on lower incidences of uterine cancer, for example. A Mikva is a small pool whose initial source of water .must be natural; it must . either come' from rain,', a natural spring or natural Ice, . andtothat Is added tap water so that its total Is 180 gallons.
