By Barbara Simon At Its September board meeting, the Jewish Federation of Omaha Board of Directors voted to change the Campaign by eliminating the splitting of contributions between the "Regular" Campaign and "Israel Emergency Fund" Campaign, according to Leonard (Bud) Goldstein, Federation president. He explained that the

dividing of gifts between the two funds was created during the 1967 war (6-day-war) in Israel as a way to raise additional dollars which could be sent immediately to Israel. He said that the two gift designations have lost their significance for fund-raising purposes. The Board was in agreement that it was wise to reserve the term "emergency" for time's when extra dollars are urgently needed, and that the "Emergency Fund" designation can be reinstated whenever needed. Goldstein emphasized that the term "Israel Emergency Fund" should be used in years when the community is asking Its donors to contribute additional dollars to Israel over their annual contributions to the Federation Campaign. The Board made this decision to eliminate the designa-

tion "Israel Emergency Fund" on the pledge card. Most other Federations are now using a total gift or "one line" idea, and the new computer system that the Federation will be using for the 1978 Campaign uses the single pledge system for the 25 other Jewish communities it is serving, as well as Omaha, Goldstein added. The Omaha Federation Board re-emphasized its commitment to Israel as the major beneficiary of Federation funds, through its annual allocation to the United Jewish Appeal, and stated that in no way will'our total dollars to Israel be diminished, said Goldstein. . Many contributors did not realize, said Goldstein, that at least one-half of Omaha's total dollars raised were always allocated to Israel and that this practice will continue. *

Cooperation In conjunction with the Fourth Annual Jewish Community Book Fair at the JCC last Tuesday, a Joint Sisterhood meeting was conducted. The women of Beth El, Beth Israel, and Temple Israel got together for lunch, to hear a guest speaker, and to socialize. With education as the focal point — involving books and a University of Nebraska guest speaker, Dr. Herbert Garf inkel — the groups cooperated in a unique Jewish oriented meeting. Omaha needs more of this type of activity, more cooperation among separate Jewish organizations more cooperation among individual segments of our Jewish population. It has been said that in numbers there is strength. We lack the numbers . . . we need the strength.

A Story of Love, Mystery and Tragedy HAIFA — Sixty years ago, on December 16, 1917, Yosef Ushansky was hanged by the Syrians in a public square in Damascus. The story made headlines in Israel once again last week because... but let's begin at the beginning. Lishansky was born In Russia in 1890, was brought to, Palestine at the age of 10, and grew up in the border town of Metulla. He served with the Jewish watchmen's group. Hasbomer, but when they refused to accept him as a member he set up a competing watchman's organization of his own. Feelings ran high between them. He was an adventuresome type — a daring horseman, woo flaunted two pistols and was afraid of nobody and nothing. He was also a lady's man and was said to have a girl friend in every village. Women loved him. Men disliked him because be was a dandy who wore expensive clothes

Churba was the U.S. Air Force's top Middle East intelligence analyst until he resigned a year ago because the Pentagon suspended his special security clearance after he disagreed with Gen. George S. Brown's complaint that Israel was a "burden." Charging that our Middle East policies are swayed by "inexorable defeatism." Churba writes that American support for Israel is based on a "rare coincidence of moral and strategic interests." He deplores the tendency to ignore Israel's potential as "(fee only secure logistics! !isk between Western Europe and Japan.. .an indispensable access point to any Western security structure . . . a land route for supplies, a refueling base, a supply depot, a tactical support arm. For those who talk of reducing the "burden" of U.S. support ("leverage" is the threat of many commentators and columnists), the author notes that the cost is less than one percent of the U.S. defense budget. Churba disperses many clouds of deceptive myths which obscure vision, such as his startling disclosure that Sadat's "expulsion" of the Soviets in 1972 was actually motivated by the Soviets' desire to clear out of Egypt lest they be involved in the forthcoming war and a U.S. confrontation. The "expulsion" was "conducive" to war. Once out of Egypt, the Soviets then delivered massive military aid to Egypt and Syria, blatantly misled the United States in violation of their pledge, and then goaded all Arab states to enter the Vom Kippur War and enforce the oil embargo. The Kremlin's objective was to make the Arab states dependent on Soviet protection, to neutralize Europe, to undermine NATO and to expel the United States from the Mediterranean and the Middle East..

Churba recalls Ibe 1970 Soviet-Egyptian missile buildup and U.S. passivity, which violated obligation and destroyed credibility. He inveighs against the U.S. failure to support Israerdlplomatlcally after her military victories. He pays his respects to Sadat's "agility in the beguiling arts of bluff, blackmail and deception that pass for diplomacy." His detailed exposition of Soviet geopolitical objectives is timely and disconcerting in view of the U.S. — Soviet declaration. Arab-American rapprochement is based on the false premise that Arab hunger for American-delivered Israeli concessions is satiable. And Cburba insists that there has bees a "consistent failure to discern the magnitude of Soviet Involvement in Middle East politics, diplomacy and warfare." He grimly warns against surrender to the

state - "a kind of Cuba in the Middle East, a hotbed of irridentism and terrorism." A new Palestinian state "is the very condition for the final demise of the United States as a power of consequence in the region.'' And he points out that oil-rich Saudi Arabia may be threatened by the Impoverished Egyptians, who are beginning to remind Saudi profiteers that they must share their fabulous wealth amassed, in part, at the cost of Egyptian blood. Churba foresees an attempt by Syria to promote a Greater Syria plan — a protectorate over Jordan, the West Bank and Lebanon. He forecasts renewed bloodshed in the West Bank, in Israel, and In Jordan. He deplores the huge US arms shipments to Saudi Arabia, Iran and the Gulf states. F5E's delivered to Saudi Arabia can be con-' verted into bombers by attaching VS. Mavericks. The huge American-stocked arsenals can be transferred to confrontation states, threatening Israel's civilians. The book is free of "analytic myopia," says Adm. Elmo Zumwalt, retired Chief of Naval Operations, in the book's introduction. It is published by Cyrco Press and distributed by The Bobbs-Merrill Co., Inc. It deserves a wide audience.

After the Six-Day War, as a result of patient Investigation, the body of Avashalom Feinberg was found buried in the Sinai, and all the circ u m s t a n c e s vindicated Lishansky's story. Feinberg's body was brought back and given a hero's burial on Mount Herd. Today, the surviving members of the Lishansky family demand that the good name of Yosef LIshansky be cleared, and that he ' be recognized for what he was — a patriot, who gave his life in a pioneer struggle which ultimately led to the creation of the State of Israel.They ask that his body be re-interred on Mount Herzi, next to that of Avshalom Feinberg.

Senior Citizens'Scene

By Helen Newman The Yiddish Theater seemed to come alive on Monday, Nov. 7, when Dr. Martin Wolf, vice president of Iowa Western Community College, gave a slide presentation on the history entitled "Vagabond Stars". The review in pictures was especially fascinating, showing the early Jewish actors and actresses, many of whom were familiar to the members and guests of the Older Adult Club. Dr. Wolf, who is the husband of Edythe WoU, head librarian of the Jewish Federation Library, took the audience back through the years when the Yiddish Theater first came Into being and on to the newer versions, including t r a g e d i e s , as well as humorous plays. The presentation captured the undivided attention of more than 125 in attendance. The Illustrated book "Vagabond Stars" may be obtained In the library. As part of the JCC Book

Fair, a wonderland of art, books and posters were on ' display and were enjoyed by those attending Monday's meeting. On Sunday, Nov. 6, over 100 older adults enjoyed the brunch and movie "Lies My Father Told Me", also in conjunction with the Book Fair. In other Monday news, the 65th Anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Phil Bait was celebrated with the traditional dessert. Margie Nearenberg led the group in the birthday song, in honor of Sylvia Goldberg's day. Next Monday, Nov. 14, the 50th Anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Milton Nearenberg will be honored. The Monday's blessings were recited by Fay Sckar and Isi Kahn. It is not of tea that a lady leads the Hamotze, and we were especially pleased to have Fay give this blessing. Chuck Arnold's exercise class was conducted in the Center Gym and many of the Older Adults took advantage of this

On Monday, Nov. 14, Morrie Epstein has made a date with the Northslde Singers to entertain the Older Adults. They are a group of ladies who will sing favorite songs. Also on Monday, Nov. 14, the V.N.A. Mobile Health Clinic will be on hand. The nurse In charge will check blood pressures; diabetes, other tests, as well as a pedicure (cut toe-nails). If you would like to obtain this free service, make an appointment by calling 444-6600. This is a great program — be sure to take advantage of it. Mollie Delman has announced that the annual Thanksgiving lunch (more like a dinner) will be held on Monday, November 21. This is always a popular event and reservations are an absolute must. Entertainment, turkey and all the trimmings. New members welcomed: Abe and Sally Venger - and Rhoda Guggenheim. Also the group welcomed many guests and members who have not been at the meetings for some time. The programs planned for the JCC Older Adults and the .Thursday Walk-In events will be very attractive for the coming weeks. Always be sure to make reservations and during the colder fall days, It might be a good idea to use the special bus on Mondays at the Crossroads 11 a.m.

By Stu Chapman Basketball is here! Last Sunday marked the beginning of the JCC Senior High Olympic Sports Program with preseason exhibition play. Here's a rundown of what happened. CWl510"A"Vs.NFTY Chaim Weizmann, who usually fields strong teams year after year, may probably do so again this year if their exhibition game is any indication of what kind of team they'll have once the season1 starts. Weizmann dobered NFTY 51-32 last Sunday. The Chaimies offense .led by Joe Greenberg and Mike Kamlnitz propelled Weizmann to an early lead from which NFTY could not recover. The Chalmle defense speared by Marshall Pred and Jeff Schrager stalled a NFTY .drive led by the talented John Staenberg late in the fourth period. In the end, Weizmann prevailed by 19. AZA l"B"Vi.CW 1510 "B" The AZA 1 B-team overcame AZA 1510 "B" 30-24 In a game whose lead changed hands several times before the Mamas could hold on to win. Jeff dayman was leading scorer for the winners with 12 points. Steve Zalkln and Mike Lustgarten also showed a good deal of talent while scoring six and five points respectively. " Weizmarih's effort did not slouch as their tenacious

defense and accurate shooting by Scott Seidln, Mike Zoob and Bill Meyer kept the Mamas in check throughout most of the first half and kept the pressure on through the rest of the game. At' the end, Seldin and Zoob led Wetanan scorers with seven points apiece and Bill Meyer had five points to Bhow for his effort. CW1510 "C Vs. AZA 100 AZA 100 pulled off a narrow 12-11 victory in which scoring by both teams was virtually non-existent. Stu Shkolnlck was high scorer for the Century Chapter with seven points in a game that showed surprisingly little defense on either tide. . Perhaps a bey reason for the low score was the low percentage oi shots made by both teams from the floor. Both teams seemed to be a little hasty at the net which led to a lot of missed shots. Perhaps once the season gets under way, both AZA 100 and Weizmann "C" will be a little more together. AZAl"A"Vs.USY Last Sunday was a bad day for USY as they took a beating from AZA 1 "A." The score was 102-9 In favor o! the Mother Chapter with Kevin Scudder scoring 28 points from the floor. Fellow teammates Todd Flnkle and Dave Merrltt had 27 each to help combine for the win. For USY, thta game is only

Aerobics program Planned for JCC (Continued from Page 1) therefore, is to supply the body with enough oxygen. ——~Running, swimming, and :•'. cycling have proven to be the physical activities which provide the greatest amount of -i. oxygen to the body. In ; laymens' terms, these are the vigorous exercises which cause us to "breathe hard and last". Blood, carrying oxygen and food, flows through the body when the heart is resting between beats. The slower the , heartbeat, the longer the .pauses between beats. The well conditioned heart, beating 60 times per minute, _ ' delivers more blood and oxlygsa to the body than the • lesser conditioned heart which ;; beats 70 times per minute. • Yet, the better conditioned heart will beat 14,400 fewer times perday. Hence, it works ' to a lesser extent but provides increased efficiency. The longer the pause, the more oxygen-food energy potential is carried throughout the body. The heart and lungs also benefit from more rest, and more oxygen and food. Apparently, as they are getting stronger, they become less prone to heart and other degenerative diseases. The Aerobics Program

seeks to Increase the strength and capacity of the vital organs. Dr. Cooper has also designed a point system for measuring the Aerobic value of various activities. Basically, the more energy an activity requires, the more points it is allotted. Thirty points is the minimum required per week for men who attended Dr. Cooper's Aerobic Center in D a l l a s , and the s a m e minimum is what the Center encourages. Twenty-four points is the minimum for women. Thus, 30 miles of cycling, 15 miles of walking, 6 miles of running, or 1.5 miles of swimming are equivalent to 30 points, provided these tasks are completed in a minimum time limit and undertaken regularly over a period of days. Prior to beginning an Aerobics Program, JCC personnel would like to meet with applicants to fill out a health questionnaire and determine exactly where to begin the in-, divldual's program. Interested members can call Chuck Arnold, director of the Center's Health and Physical Education Department or Diann Timmcrman, assistant director at 334-8200.

Magic Theatre Offers New Approach By Jan Fischer The current production at the Omaha Magic Theatre is concerned with a topic of great interest to Jewish people today. Entitled Astral White (A Musical Comedy about the Holy Order of Divine Illumination), the play relates the story of a family's break-up when the teenage children join a religious cult. The members of the new religion, the Hodis, work for their leaders in the name of a divine spirit or light which supposedly guides them to a new understanding of the world around them. In the meantime, they turn in their paychecks and reject their families. The play Is written by Miml Loring; a new author but a deeply moved one. She lost her own two daughters to such a movement. They rejected her, as well as the

O/d Timers'Review By Arthur Grossman One of the extraordinary aspects of the Old Timers programming is the ability to obtain a widely diversified variety of personalities so that with one broad sweep of the brush we paint a scenario ranging from a vaudeville program, at one meeting, to a manifestly serious discussion of politics and government at another. And both categories can be expected to be received with warm enthusiasm by most members. Thus the meeting of Nov. 1, with UB members In attendance, was one of definite political overtones. The early discussion group, under the direction of Bob Lovett, featured Carolyn Novicoff, one of the commissioners on the Omaha Mayor's Commission on the Status of Women. The recent confrontation between Mayor Al Veys and members of the Commission, regarding Its duties and responsibilities, unleashed a heated controversy to the extent that the entire Commission tendered resignations. Mrs^ Novicoff, who is geriatric specialist for Jewish Family Service, related why the Commission members felt such a drastic measure was necessary. She also discussed the Equal Rights Amendment, which, though being the briefest article ever proposed as an amendment to the Constitution of the United States, has opened a floodgate of controversial Interpretations as to Its true meaning and

Omaha's Fourth Synagogue '

By Mary h. Burotyn Omaha has three big, beautiful, modern synagogues. But there is also a fourth synagogue that isn't big and it Isn't modern but it's very beautiful. B'nal Jacob Adas Yeshuron is located on 31st and Cummings Street. It is an Orthodox shut that observes all the traditions from the Shabbos L'chalm to the separate seating of men and women.
