First Annual Kallah Draws t,QQO To Lectures By Rabbi Greenberg A scholar visited Omaha last weekend and gave an estimated 1,000 members of the community a new perspective on Jewish Rabbi Irving Greenberg said we are in a new and unprecedented era In history - the beginning of the third great cy-, cieofJewishexpcrlcnce. . As the scholar-in-rcsidence for the First Annual Kallah weekend, Rabbi Greenberg delivered four lectures at Omaha l^najjoguesandtlieJgC. '- • He said that for the past 200 years, the modernization process has dominated Jewish life. "Modernization offered extraordinary rewards: "the end of oppression, discrimination, great social and economic advances." He explained that Jews In America have made "extraordinary" achievements In per capita income, education, and ac: ceptance. In some quarters, he said, there was the feeling among Jews that the Messianic Age was upon us and that it no longer was necessary to be Jewish, "That period is over. It Is a dream not come true." Dr. Greenberg asserted that the first great cycle - the Biblical Period — took us out of slavery. ' The second cycle - the Rabbinic Period — included the • emergence of synagogues, new leadership, rabbinic understanding, and living in exile, ._..,,. . The supposed period of Modernity - thought by many to be the third great cycles-ended In unprecedented chaos, destruction/death - the Holocaust, and the unprecedented miracle of redemption - the rebirth of the State of Israel. « . .The rabbinic scholar said that tho Jewish people arose from

the Holocaust and brought human dignity back to the world with the flourishing State of Israel.' "This incredible moment is at hand, nnd the challenge is: How can we make It more Jewish. . How can we bring a spectrum of Jewish life into an open society?" Rabbi Greenberg called for religious unity. "We need a total Jewish life style with contributions from orthodoxy, conservatism and reform." What's missing, said Rabbi Greenberg. "are ways to bring us together." He stated that three major organizations exist to support dialogue between Christians and Jews, but that not one exists to bring Jewish factions together. The rabbi said Jewish values, practices and knowledge are needed as well as the identification of Jewish Interests to create a "textured Jewish life style." According to Rabbi Greenberg, Jewish emancipation requires a network of experiences, a network of models, to provide a total Jewish environment. .. He called upon leadership to provide more than money. Leaders must also provide good models for Jewish living, he said. , He called for establishing retreats at summer camps for families, for Involvement in Jewish education by media, and for developing a strategy lor post-modern Jewish faith. ', The Jewish ultimate vision, said Rabbi Greenberg, would be to acheive a final perfection in the image of God with social .

Rabbi Greenberg Speaks at Omaha Kallah (Continued from Page 1) perfect, more ethical. In an Interview with the Jewish P r e s s , Rabbi Greenberg said that Omaha Jewry has a collegiality and ability to work together that is not typical.. • He said that Federations and synagogues are experiencing growing tensions throughout the country. " I t is necessary for synagogues to think in community terms and for Federations to look upon themselves not only as money-raising organizations, but also as vehicles for Jewish education and living. He pointed out that missions to Israel should not only turn on participants to giving more money, but also should turn them on to religious life. "There's more to Israel than The Wall," said Rabbi Greenberg, adding that a true Shabbat experience in Israel is most important. ' The rabbi pointed out that it is necessary for us to outgrow old models and establish breakthrough concepts to bring communities together. There is no one community that is far ahead ol others in this respect, said Dr. Greenberg, but there are signs of moving ahead. The rabbis of the community, asked to comment briefly on the Kallah weekend by the Jewish Press, responded as follows: Rabbi Isaac Nadoff, Beth Israel Synagogue,. — "This was an enriching experience to all people. Rabbi Greenberg developed a following as he progressed, and his discussions opened up many areas of thought." Rabbi Kenneth Bromberg, Beth El Synagogue — "Although we say many of these things in different ways

all the time, it is useful to hear these comments articulated and presented in a useful perspective.. .It was an opportunity for tremendous fellowship, a fine use of Shabbat within the context of Rabbi Greenberg's framework.. .a booster shot for the community." Rabbi Myer Kripke, Rabbf Emeritus, Beth El Synagogue — "The weekend was an injec* lion of strength for the Congregations and for the community. The get-together was ,an opportunity to see many things from a larger pcrSpec' Uve. It's a new framework offering a great deal of strength. Rabbi Sydney 11. Hoffman, Of futt Air Force Base, said the Kallah was an outstanding event, one that the Jewish community can take pride In. Rabbi Hoffman said one of the points r a i s e d by Dr. Greenberg — that of the necessity for a strong Jewish identity outside the home — is of particular interest to him in' Uie military. __ . Rabbi Barry Welnsteln, Temple Israel, said "1 was very grateful for the erudition and the insights which Rabbi Greenberg brought to our community. His intelligence and his understanding of Judaism were stimulating and provocative for all. "I hope that his presence in Omaha will encourage all of us to continue to deepen our understanding of whom we are as members of (he Jewish people so that we can ensure our survival as a People through the years ahead."

Welcome Home The 23 .participants in the Omaha Men's factfinding mission to Israel have returned home. Their wives and children were at the airport to greet them. Their friends and relatives contacted them in the evening by telephone and in person. By all indications, the trip was an outstanding success — an ideal kickoff to the 1978 Federation Campaign. ' Harlan Noddle and Joe Kirshenbaum, cochairmen, said the group increased their gifts by 80 per cent compared with last year. They also said that the trip was an emotional Jewish-enrichment experience for the entire group. This is most interesting because while the group was in Israel, Omaha's Kalian speaker said that Missions to Israel should be a religious experience as well as a fundraising trip. We are happy and proud,to hear that our group was practicing what Rabbi Greenberg was preaching. Welcome Home. .

Israelis were black and blue God did His share to make for days — from frequent selfthe visit a success. The pinching. weather over Jerusalem and Sadat's entourage at the all of Israel was almost perfect. How different the psychological atmosphere might have been if Sadat's few days here had been miserably rainy and cold, as might well .have been expected at this season... Before Sadat's arrival, Ben Gurion airport was already swarming with Egyptian security men and pressmen, but nobody was sure which was which. When the Israel band rehearsed the Egyptian national anthem each of the security men Jumped to rigid a t t e n t i o n , w h i l e the newspapermen went on with their work as usual.

Arab petrodollars have transformed the Arab economic boycott into a deadly weapon of war — not only against Israel but against businessmen who refuse to surrender to it. The history of the boycott and its operation are described in The Economic War Against the Jews (Random House) by Walter Henry Nelson and Terence Prittie, London-based authors of many books and articles. ' For more than a quarter of a century, the Arab League has not only tried to compel American businessmen to submit to Madman in their pursuit of Arab markets, but It embarrassed the U.S. Government itself by barring American soldiers of the Jewish faith from assignment to our one-time Ui>. base in Saudi Arabia. Congress moved against It in 1965, when Senators Harrison A. Williams (D-NJ.) and 'Jacob K. Javits (R-N.Y.) introduced legislation requiring American exporters not to res pond to questionnaires from the Arab Boycott Office. The Near East Report published a comprehensive special supplement, which exposed boycott procedures, criticizing surrender and commending defiance. However, the legislation was watered down because of Administration opposition. In its final form, it condemned boycotts in principle, but merely required exporters to report the receipt of boycott questionnaires or risk a fine. No fine was ever levied. -,'''•'••• During 1974, according to Nelson and Prittie, there were only 785 transactions involving boycott compliance. Then came a quantum leap. By September 1975, there were 7,545 transactions, and during the next six months there were almost 25,000. In 90 percent of the cases, American firms yielded. Thus, the authors write, another war had been declared by the oil-rich Arab world. "It has taken the outward, apparently innocuous shape of an economic war, but the ultimate

Arafat: the destruction of the state of Israel and the expulsion of the bulk of Its population. Theimmedlate targets, however, are not only Israel or Jews the world over but also nonJews who accept Israel's right to exist." The battle was renewed in 1975. Earlier this year, legislation sponsored by Representatives Jonathan Bingham and Benjamin Rosenthal, New York Democrats, and by Senators Williams, William Proxmire (DWls.) and'Adlai Stevenson (D-IIM, was approved. But major amendments provided for exceptions which enable American businessmen doing business inside Arab countries to comply with the boycott under certain conditions. The Department of Commerce has just Issued regulations implementing these provisions which, critics charge, go out of their way to permit compliance: Bingham, who wrote the introduction for the book, declares that the "fight to end the boycott is far from over. It will continue until the Arab world becomes convinced that Israel is here to stay. It is a weapon that the Arabs will not abandon until they abandon their goal of destroying the Jewish state." , No war can be waged if there is a unified global response. This has been demonstrated ' In recent years as more and more nations have refused sanctuary to hijackers and terrorists. The principle should apply In the case of the boycott.' Currently, anti-boycott legislation is under consideration in Britain and France. In both countries, public opinion Is sympathetic to Israel's struggle, but governments have shied ; away from measures which, they fear, may deprive them of lucrative Arab markets. Thus, as The Economic War Against the' Vewspoints out, the boycott is "a war against all people concerned with free trade, free enterprise, and personal liberty." The authors believe that all Western countries should adopt a unified anti-boycott posture and refrain from competitive appeasement on a bilateral basis. The book iiseif may" become an effective weapon to overcome the . war It so vividly describes., . , , . „ , , , » . , '

Israel's radio for days broadcast every peace song in its musical library. Advertisements reflected the new era. An enterprising Israeli travel agent put big ads in the local papers, offering a nine-day vacation for Israelis in Egypt, staying at a first rate Cairo hotel, and Including a trip down the Nile and visits to the Pyramid! and the Sphinx. An Israeli advertising man, Haylm Peled, put an ad in the Cairo daily, Al-Ahram, Inviting Egyptian firms to place their ads In Israel papers through his agency.

For Your Entertainment Center Stage Produces Comedy Through Dec. 18 By Lucy Franks The Center Stage production of "Thieves' Carnival" at the Jewish Community Center has been described as a "pink comedy" by author Jean A n o u i l h . T h i s c a n be translated Into modern English as a play that Isn't meant to be taken seriously, or one that primarily intends to entertain. It s e e m s , however, that "Thieves' Carnival" has lost some of Its humor in translation. Although Director Fred Vesper's cast of "Thieves" was still struggling for lines on opening night, they, will hopefully acquire some confidence later on In the run. Then the show will be a good one, because It has all the right components. It's a simple story of bored and Idle rich, enthusiastic gold-diggers, romantic youth, and three optimistic and lovable thieves who get in everyone's way as they try to make off with whatever isn't nailed down and end up with more than they bargained for. The three thieves are played by Bob Lovett, Lamberto Viet-

costumes contribute plenty to the comedy. As the run of "Thieves' Carnival" continues through Dec. 18, the pace should pick up and the comic moments become more crisp. Check it out this weekend when it should be In top form.

All are lovable in their own right, but Tiwald Is most convincing as the apprentice thief. The willing victims of thievery around whose wealth everyone flutters are, Bob. Pahey, whose Lord Edgard Is a good giggle; Debra Brannan, as L,ady Hurt, whose acting is the best in the show; and Bev Auxter and Laura Shlffermlller as the two young nieces. Shlffermlller displays her usual competence, while Auxler turns In the best work she's ever done on the Omaha

stage. "Thieves" contribution to slapstick comes from performances by Joseph Wllonl and Greg McMullen as hapless gold-diggers desperate to marry money and save their bank from ruin. The pair Is so ludicrous they Incite laughter merely by standing still. But "Thieves' Carnival" really belongs to Jack Eggert, the sole musician in the troup. He uses a clarinet to weave the action of this sometimes disorganized drama into a unified whole. He is priceless. Technically, the show is a triumph for. Designer Steve Brow'nless.

By Arthur Grossman Due to a seasonal peculiarity of the calendar November provided the Old Timers with a somewhat rare opportunity of enjoying three gettogethers within one month. November 25, the third tirr.e, was the charm — charm personified in the comely form of Joan Lehr. (See letter to editor). The Early Bird session was conducted by President Siegel who explained this phase of . (be club's programming now takes on a new format. Instead of a few ultra eager members demonstrating the rote of a Demosthenes or a Winston Churchill and delivering grandiloquent orations of long duration every one in the audience will be called on and have an opportunity to make a commentary or silently pass if he wishes. For openers Earl chose as an absorbing topic the recent Sadat-Begin meeting and the role of the PLO in future peace efforts in the Middle East.
