ADL defends action, claims no laws broken By Tom Tugend LOS ANGELES (JTA) — The Anti-Defamation League, which is being in-' vestigated for possibly ille- gal surveillance activities, tuts struck back at its accusers, contending ^biy are trying to deflect attention away from misconduct in their own ranks. ADL haa now started to counter the accusations, maintaining it has not broken any laws and that if confidential material reached its hands, then violations within the law enforcement intelligence community itself shuujd be the real focus of police concern. 'Vhe autltoritles say they suspect illegal acts were carried out in connection with an alleged national intelligence network that kept tabs on more than 960 organizations and as many as 12,000 individu-
als, many of them involved in right-wing, white supremacist or Arab-American activities. No formal charges have been issued in the case, although a police affidavit released in connection with the searches outlined the suspected violations. "There has been an orchestrated effort to paint us as villains in an affair in which ADL is a bit player," Barbara Wahl, a Washington bused ADL attorney said in an interview here. The real issue is what has been going on in the (San Francisco) intelligence community, who is keeping track and have they been following their own guidelines?" she said.

w
Saparata — and Holy
One of my major assignmenU an a beginning reporter was to learn from the bottom up BO my editor had me fill in for experienced people when they went on vacation. This meant that I had the opportunity to cover the police and fire beaU not only in the city, but also iathe ipany sjiburbB surrounding the metro arep. During this five-year-period, I got to know many policemen and firemen, joining with them in times of streBS and sorrow, joy and happiness. 1 recall walking the streeto with a cop one day when he had to bring in a drunk who was causing a disturbance on the street. The drunk sUrted to paw the policeman's freshly starched uniform and was promptly repelled with a crack of the night stick. I later — witli caution — reprimanded th* officer for using eEcessive violence. He responded with, "Whatja want me to do, roll in the gutter with him?" As I eontinuad my work with a variety of police and firemen, seeing what they had to confront in a day's work, my sympathy walked away from the criminal eleraeht of society and parked itaelf squarely in the pockets of those knights who protect law-abiders. My respect for law enforcement people motivated me to attend the recent CrimeStoppcrs program which honored James Wilson as" the Swanson-Grimm recipient of Officer of the Year award. Officer Wilson, who was honored for his many years of service and his ability in conducting homicide inveatigations was visibly moved upon being recognized. He immediately shared his honor with the other members of his team. During his response. Officer Wilson told of receiving phone calls at all times of day and night end said the phone rang one time at 2 a.m. , "It was my lieutenant. He asked what I was doing, and I said, what the hell do you think I'm doing, I'm sleeping. Well, you'd better get up, there's a homicide, the lieutenant said." A police officer must be ready to "liit that door" and move — 'with enthusiasm" — officer Wilson declared All of us citizens who go through life on predictable work ichedule* and predictable life cycle evenU should pauM! before being critical of those who work as policeman and fireman. Their lives are up for grabs on a dally baais. They deal with the worst elements of society and_ they never know what their shift will bring or whether some freak of n'•""• -^'i' ^'''•w their brain" «wav fur nn .' rm<on at all ^ . ratulation.-i i/mur mldon and U> an iimnc unroes who do their job to that we can enjoy the comlort and safety of our home* and streeU.
It is. a temptation that cannot be resisted to give attention to the second of our Sidrot, ratherthan the first, as we look at the Torah reading for this Shabbat. When we do not have a leap year — with its whole extra month — there are several times that we have two Sidroti rather than one. Kedoshim, this week's second Sidrah, captures our attention. We often think of "Love your fellow as yourseir (Lev. 19:18) as the pinnacle and epitome of ethics. But I turn to another subject today. What is the meaning of Kedoshim? "You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy." (Lev. 19.11)
This is, of course, the principle that mankind ought to strive to be like God: imitatio del. Just as God is merciful and compassionate, so too should humans be. And here: just as God is holy, so should humans be. But the meaning of "holy" is hard to pin down, hard to get at. We often think of "holy" as spiritual, against the material, sacred, even sacrosanct. It implies being associated somehow or other with a divine power, esteemed, revered. Actually, although all those meanings are accurate, there is a simpler and more direct meaning: "kadosh" means "set apart," "separate." It even has that meaning In the wedding ceremony, where the groom declares that
his bride Is' m'kudeshet, set aside as his wife only, for no other persfin. It is interesting that the Midrash already has understood that meaning.. Someti'mes we think of the ancient rabbis as lacking sophistication or' unschooled in the intricacies of later theological thought. But on this first verse of our Sidrah, here is one of the rabbinic commenta (Lev. R. 24.4.}: The Lord said to Moses, "Tell the . Israelites that just as I am (parush) separate, so must they be separate: just aa I am holy, (kadosh), so must they be holy!" One .is tempted to translate the word "parush" in the high-falutin' theological sense of "a transcendent God," dif-
ferent from mankind and the world and far, above it. But that is probably not what the midrashist meant. He meant, probably, that Jews, in order to be separate and holy, were to avoid the unclean and repulsive sexual practices of Egyptians and Canaanites (see the previous chapter, I.iev. 18), and to aspire to a high sense and practice of moral principles. Honesty, compassion, and love, purity, justice and reverence. These were the desiderata. And among them was the shining "Love your fellow aa yourself" "The admonition is simple enough: But how we strive and fail, strive and fall. This Is the sad history of mankind.

Temple congregants to build house for low-income family . Temple Israel will join two Omaha churches to buy con struction materials, donate building know-how, and recruit volunteer workers to build a new house that will eventually become the home of a low-income Omaha family. The project, organized through non-profit Habitat for Humanity, will include fundraising projects to pay $50,000 in building expenses. Temple and church volunteers will build the house at 3485 Grant St. from June 13 to 19. Anybody from Omaha's Jewish community may join Temple's contingency of Tikkun 01am (bettering the world) volunteers, said Temple publicist Jo Carroll. "Anyone who's had a paintbrush in their hands before, we need them," she said. A low-income family selected by Habitat for Humanity will help build the l,200-8quare-foot house and, when it's completed, move in. The family will make monthly interest-free payments to. Habitat for Humanity to repay the
$50,000; HabiUt for Humanity will then use that money to begin additional building projects. Congregants of Countryside Community Church (87th and Pacific streets) and Bethel A.M.E. Church (2428 Franklin St.) will also work on the project. Volunteers are needed to install windows, doors and cabinets, lay concrete and carpet, caulk, set trusses, hang sheetrock, install roofing and siding, and perform other speciahzed building skills.

April 30,1993
Author tells of Jewish youth in small town, big city By Deborah Fellman Faye Mosiiowitz, a writer whose comments are often broadcast on National Public Radio's "All Things Considered," last week told stories Of her small-town childhood in a lecture at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln. "I feel I have a great deal in common wiUi the Jews of Nebraska," she. said at the first Norman and Helene Krivosha Lecture, a part of the newlyformed Judaic Studies Project at UNL. "I've met many people just like me who were raised in little towns." Mrs. Moskowitz, who published her first book> when she was in her 50s, directs the creative writ' ing program at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. Reading from her 1991 book "And the Bridge is Love," she. told a tale about her urbane and elegant cousin, Esther, with whom she spent childhood sleepovers giggling all night and whose-beauty and snobbery fascinated her. In the essay, the girls watch their mothers firepare Shabbat dinners and compare the twin beds of one girls' parents to the "wickedly narrow" double bed of the other girl.
Tales from Ethiopia draw crowd
By Deborah Fellman Few Ethiopian Jews had ever visited a doctor before the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (AJDC) and a group of doctors set up medical clinics in Ethiopia in 1984, said Dr. Ted Myers, a physician who helped develop a medical program there. Dr. Myers and his wife, ' Peggy, a photographer, showed slides and deFaye Moskowitz "In some ways, religion scribed their experiences fell away," she said of her in Ethiopia to about 85 family's move from De- doctors, dentists and troit to Jackson, Mich., other people at a Jewish where they lived for seven Federation of Omaha years. "In a smaller town, event last week at Highit's easier to assimilate land Country Club. Part of a museum exand let go of Judaism," hibit titled "Faith arid she said. According to Michael Survival: Ethiopian JewSteinman, a professor of ish Life, 1983 to 1992," political science at UNL the slides were tal^en in and director of the Judaic Studies Project, the lecture will continue annualCARLJARL ly. Each lecture will feaSECURITY SYSTEMS ture a topic, related to Jewish culture. 7511 Dodge-391-5700 While many members of the audience said they related to Mrs. Moskowitz' childhood tales, Norman Krivosha said he understood them nearly first-hand. "We grew up on the same street in Detroit, it turns out," he said. The two met for the first time last week in Lincoln.
the villages of Ethiopia and the cities of Israel. Many of them show robe-clad Ethiopian men and women in their daily routines: weaving fabric, throwing pottery, farming and caring for children. Photos taken in Israel show many of the same people in their new, Westernized lives in urban areas of Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. Nearly two years after tens of thousands of Ethiopian Jews emigrat-
ed to Israel in a mass airlift, only about 4,000 remain in Ethiopia, according to Dr. Myers. While in Ethiopia, Jews lived in agrarian villages much as their forebears did centuries ago. Dr. Myers said. They spoke languages called Amharic, Tigrinya and Tigre and knew no Hebrew. Ethnically, the Ethj6pian Jews were, indistinguishable from their Christian and Muslim countrymen; their names
also revealed nothing about their religious afllliation. Dr. Myers said. Finding Jews among the Ethiopians was challenging, Dr. Myers said. Much of his early efforts were aimed at locating the Jews so they could be offered medical services, he said. By this time, in 1990, most of the Jews of Ethiopia had moved to the capital city, Addis Adaba, where they waited for governmental permission to emigrate to Israel.
