Summer, 1993 will see a record number of Omaha teens — 44 — traveling to Israel. They are going on various organization-sponsored trips including ART2^ III, USY Israel Pilgrimage, BBYO Israel Summer Institute, NCSY Israel Summer Seminar, NCSY Overseas Leadership Seminar and NFTY Israel Safari. To a large extent, their trips were made possible by a subsidy from the Jewish Federation of Omaha, and scholarships from the following foundations: David E. Beber Scholarship Fund, Livingston Scholarship Fund, Edward Zorinsky Endowment Fund and Esther K. Newman Memorial Fund, all managed by the Foundation of the Jewish Federation and distributed through the Federation's Bureau of Jewish Education. Penny Endelman's daughter, Jamie, is one of those going to Israel this summer. "It's a wonderful opportunity for Jantie to identify Jewishly," she said. 'This is an experience we never had as teens." She added that they have been longtime supporters of the Federation and are apjpreciative of the subsidies and scholarships.

Jewish Cultural Arts Council Jewish film festival By Seth Bomstein The Jewish Film Festival will be held at the JOG at 7:30 p.m. from July 18 to July 21. Tickets are $5 each or $16 for all four. The Man Without A World, the opening show, is a historic piece Eleanor Antin of European cinema. Directed by the post modernist director, Yevgeny Anitnov, it was believed lost to history until Glasnost, when a vintage print was discovered in an obscure Odessa archive. The film, in reality, is a product of the 1990s. Filmed in Southern California, including a scene done on Eleanor Antin's (producer, writer, director) driveway, it was shot as if it were Poland, 1928. Mt. Antin will be in Omaha for the first night of the fllm festival to introduce the film and answer questions. There will be a reception at the end of the fllm. Her mother, who performed on the Yiddish stage in Poland, often told her stories of he^ childhood. Ms. Antin wanted,to recreate all the images of Yiddish fllm. The other noteworthy films scheduled for the Festival are: (July 19) Europe, Europe, the true story of a young Jewish boy mistaken as an Aryan during World War II; (July 20) The Quarrel, a Canadian fllm about two fHends, one religious and one secular, and the impact of the Holocaust on their beliefs; and (July 21) Cup Final, an Israeli nim about a middle class ahopkaapar whoa* only dream is to attend the World Soccer Finals in Madrid, but ends up on the front lines in the 1083 Invasion of Lebanon. Funding for the Jewish Film F«sUv«l Is •ponson'd in part by the Morton A. Kichards Endowment Fund and the Avy L. and i^eris L. Miller Endowment, UtiA§*y MIIUr-Lerman, Andrea MllierKsllnr and SUphanle Millar Koran.

JERUSALEM (JTA) — Vietnam and Israel signed a memorandum of understanding this week to establish diplomatic relations. | The agreement was signed Monday in Jerusalem' by Nguyen Dy Nien, Vietnam's visiting deputy foreign minister, and his Israeli counterpart, Yossi Beilin. it was described here as a significant step for Israel in building up its relations with the Far East. Beilin said the agreement represents ""a new chapter in Israeli foreign policy." For the past year, the two countries have exchanged trade delegations and engaged in other low-level diplomatic activities. A few Israeli technical experts already work in Vietnam on a semi-official basis and Vietnamese students study in Israel.

Holocaust survivors' children hold conclave in Australia By Jeremy Jones SYDNEY, Australia (JTA) — The first Australian gathering of children and grandchildren of Holocaust survivors opened here this week. More than 100 participated from Australia and New Zealand. , The conference came as a result of informal discussions at the first National Gathering of Holocaust Survivors in-1985 and out of a growing awareness that there are many common problems and concerns among children of survivors that have been virtually ignored. There are an estimated 20,000 descendants of Holocaust survivors in Australia's 100,000-strong Jewish community. Psychiatrist opens conference Dr. George Foster, a Sydney psychiatrist who convened the conference, said that many descendants had been left with considerable emotional baggage and have been inhibited from forming stable relationships. In many of their actions, these descendants of survivors have "a basic fear of inflicting more trauma on their parents." Opening the conference, a former government minister, Professor Peter Baume, told the gathering that "descendants of Holocaust survivors have a special duty to ensure the memory of the Holocaust is never erased." Clinical psychologist Amanda Gordon, who is a fifth- generation Australian Jew and a member of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry, agreed that the memory of the Holocaust is significant to all humanity but observed that "some children of survivors have been imbued so'powerfully with that responsibility that they are not able to get on with their lives. "They remain children of survivors instead of children of the '908," ihe said. The gathering was mostly devoted to discussing ways in which descendants of Holocaust survivors approach personal relationships, particularly with their parents. The conference also included discussions of the history of the settlement of survivors and their descendants in Australia. The gathering coincidentally opened at the same tiine as the government announced that the trial will resume next month of an Australian resident charged with crimes against humanity in connection with the murder of Jews during the Nazi occupation of the Ukraine. Heinrich Wagner, 69, has had his petition for a permanent stay of his trial rejected. Lawyers in the case will travel to Ukraine to take evidence from witnesses unable to travel to Australia. Holocaust denial, the subject chosen for the final sessions of the conference, was also a timely subject for conference participants. There waa an announcement last week that British Holocaust denier David Irving will be granted a further appeal against an Australian ban preventing him from entering the country.

Israel, India discover each other
Reprinted with permiBaion from The Economic Times, Bombay, India After 46 y^ars of independence, India and Israel are rediscovering each other. There has never been any official ban on trade relations between the two countries, but business was on a low key, neither side wanting to acknowledge mutual relations. Israeli businessmen al^ found it difficult to get visas to visit India. ^ Netafim, the worid leader in drip irrigation technology, for example, had to disguise its participation in a conferences on use of plastics in agriculture organized by Indian Petrochemicals Corporation Ltd. in New Delhi some years ago. "We could not present ourselves as Netafim, but in the name of Coromandal Indag, our Indian agent," recalls Arik Aharoni, export manager. He has traveled widely in India and is very familiar with the Indian horticultural scene. The establishment of diplomatic relations on Jan. 29, 1992, has led to a sea change in relations between the tiny state in the Middle East with a population of five million, and India, the 900-million strong emerging economy. Israel's exports to India amounted to $11.5 million in January, 1993, more than twice the figure of $4.1 million for the corresponding period of 1992. Indian exports to Israel increased to $6.8 million in 1993, compared to $5.9 million during the corresponding period last year. "We are flooded with business inquiries," says Yitzhak Gerberg, Israeli Consul in Bombay. 'Israel's potential is not Hmited to its five million people, though it is substantial," says P.K. Singh, India's ambassador to Israel. "Their global trade is a lot more than ours. It is an affluent society. We have only scratched the surface." But Singh is quick to point out that Israel is more than a market, it is a springboard to the European and American markets. Thanks to its free-trade agreements with both continents, Israeli goods eryoy
Sparks from The Word By Rabbi Myer S. Kripke Parashat Mattot—Masee Listen Up! But to Whom? The Midrash sometimes uses the same devices a speaker of our times, trained by Toastmasters International, might use. a bit of humor — just to catch their attention! The Midrash has it that there are those who listened and obeyed — and profited greatly, and some who listened and obeyed and suffered a great loss! Moreover, some refused to listen and obey and profited greatly, while some others who refused to listen and obey suffered a great loss! Examples are furnished. Adam listened to Eve and obeyed her when she told him to eat of the fruit. He did — and suffered the loss of Paradise . . . Abraham listened to Sarah and obeyed her, for at her insistence he reluctantly sent Ishmael away . . . and he gained the continuation of his tradition through Isaac. Joseph refused to listen and obey Potiphar'a wife, who said, 'Lie with me!" And Joseph gained his whole future. For his refusal set into inevitable motion the events that led to Joseph's becoming viceroy of Egypt, the savior of many people, and Die hero-brother to his family, the family of Jacob-Israel. The Midrash n'>w comes to the point. It springs the trap. It has one more example: those who refused to listen and obey — and lost. Here there is no more humor, no more light-hearted playing with Scripture. Here is the purpose of the homily. It was Israel, God's beloved people, who refused to obey Him, even though at Sinai they said, "We will do. and wc will obey." They did not obey and they lost. They lost their kingdom and independence, they lost their Temple, and they lost their land.
is a 60-60 joint venture between Finolex, India's leading plastic processing company, ^pd Plastro Gvat, a • leading Israeli drip-irrigation-syatems manufacturer. Israel's Rotem Fertilizers is planning a joint venture to manufacture phosphoric acid in the Negev entirely for export to India. "The future of Indo-Israeli relations lies in these kinds of linkages, rather than trade, which has its limitations," Ambassador Singh said. ] iln the absence of trade agreements between the i two countries, all goods coming to Israel from India are subject to compulsory licensing.'This, in effect, acts as a non-tariff barrier, according to Mr. Virendra Gupta, counsellor at the Indian Embassy in Tel Aviv. In this connection, it is noteworthy that most of the bilateral trade is now in goods where tariffs are low or non-existant: in fertilizers, diamonds and agricultural equipment. Vinod Pushkarna, who with his wife, Reena, operates a highly successful and popular Indian restaurant chain in Israel, said his application for import of Indian color television sets was shot down in recent months by Israeli officials. Some Israeli papers have reported the arrival of' Indian cycles and scooters. Indian Embassy officials are confident that home-made Maruti-Suzuki cars, "the cheapest air-conditioned cars in the world," will have a good market in Israel, where the high landed cost of foreign cars is a general complaint. Nir Zalmanov, product manager at Dead Sea Bromine Works (who recently visited India to market flame retardants to Indian textile companies) agrees that Israelis will find Maruti a very good buy. By the way, Israel does not make cars. Every third car on the road is a Subaru, the little-known Japanese company which made inroads while other Japanese auto giants were worrying about Arab boycotts. The two governments have exchanged draft trade agreements, which will bestow the status of mostfavoured nation status to each other. This should hopefully be signed in the next few months. This should prove to be a major catalyst in converting the enormous goodwill between the two countries into business propositions.
duty-free and quota-free access in both markets. This is especially relevant to India's booming textile industry, which is feeling stifled with quotas. Israeli officials have been inviting Indian businessmen to bring their textile products to Israel for reexport with a 35 percent.value addition, following the footsteps of some Far East countries. Indian business(man Dipak Jain will perhaps be the first to set up a textile plant in Beersheva, with a view to use Israel as a bridge to world markets. "It is an advantage no other country has," said Dov Lautman, president of Israel's Manufacturers' Association. "Everything going from here to Europe attracts no duty, no quota." His own company. Delta Galil Industries, manufacturing high-fashion garments, has started importing yarn from Indian spinning mills. Though Israel produces cotton, its high labor costs does not make spinning economical. Compete in service, response to market "We compete not on costs but in service, response to market needs," Lautman said. A mtyor Delta customer is Marks & Spencer, which annually purchases more than $600 million in socks, underwear and knitted wear from the company. Delta, which grossed $185 million turnover, also Hcenses the Pierre Cardin name for men's underwear and socks sold throughout Europe. Israel offers more than free access to the developed world. The global Jewish business network offers the right connections and even finance. "I was surprised to learn that much of India's tobacco sales to the erstwhile Soviet Union was handled through Jewish traders," Singh says. "We have long experience in marketing to the Western world," said Lautman. "We have people who speak Kazakh to Romanian to Italian." Some Israeli businessmen who have dealt with Indian traders in Africa and elsewhere say that they are very much Hke Jews. India may be new, but we are used to Indians," they say. And it is not just trade. Realization of mutual strengths have led to the establishment of some joint ventures, and many more are in the pipeline. The first What set the Midrash off on this homily? It was the openiing words of our Haflarah: "Hear the word of the Lord, O House of Jacob, every clan of the House of Israel!" If Israel had only listened, if Israel had only obeyed! But, instead, prophet after prophet had agonized over Israel's disobedience, over Israel's inability to rise to a stature of perfection that the prophets thought necessary. There are those, obviously, to whom we ought not to listen. There are temptations in every generation, like the temptresses to worship Baal Peor in the prt-v-ious Sidrah. It is a mark of maturity and understanding to differentiate, to use time wisely, to expend energy with good judgment, and to dedicate our total selves to purposes worthy of human beings, Jeremiah put it, "Hear the word of the Lord, O House of Jacob. ..'

News and Views By Bemie Mosow I try hard not to tell people how to live their lives, BUT, I do have one suggestion for all — regardless of age. Jack and I visited with his sister and brother-inlaw in Sioux Falls on the 4th of July weekend. One of the purposes of the visit was to make a tape recording of his family history. Jack's sister, who is the oldest grandchild of his mother's family, has the moat memories of their mother's generation and the lives they led. What a fun time we had! Jack's sister had loads of pictures and each one brought to mind a long-forgotten event or individual about whom we have rarely spoken. These people and events came to life, and, of course, many questions were asked which led to more tales and stories being told. It was a super three days and I encourage all of you to take the time to commit your family stories to tape. Gather your kith and kin around you, get out the old pictures, turn on the recorder (surely one of the kids has one), and go to it. A cup of coffee or a glass of iced tea and a Nosh is all it will take to get th« party going. You'll be surprised what memories will come to light. ,. These are the atories that many of us have neglected to toll our children, but they are what give aubstenoe and spioe to the hvea of our forebearers. How sad it will be if our descandanta don't have • view of US that is three dimensional when we can give that them via a simple tape recording. Let's take advantage of the technology that's avail/e able to ua'and let future generationa know how we and thpir grandparenU and even their great-grand^ parents lived. It'a great fun.

These tapea may be the moat precioua treasure you1| can leave your children.

Bert's Eye View By Bert Lewis People who aren't home during the day are accustomed to finding alternative ways to receive packages or deliveries. If it's something fairly small, it's easy enough to have it left "between the doors." I guess I qualify for the not-home-during-the-day category. As a result, I often find things at or between the door (a). Yesterday when I got home, I found someone had been there in my absence. There was a returned book, borrowed by a friend who even left a note saying she loved it and thanks. There was something else, however, and I'm still puzzling over it. I hope by the time you read this, the mystery will have been solved, but I don't know who left an envelope carefully wedged in the door. It wasn't an ordinary envelope — it was the kind the film developing stores put pictures in. Since I hadn't recently had anything processed in such a place, I was surprised to see it. I first thought maybe it had been left by mistake ... that someone got the wrong address. No, on closer inspection, my name and address were carefully written in a very clear and legible hapd. So nu, before curiosity killed the cat, I looked inside. There was one picture, obviously an enlargement to 5x7 of a snapshot taken probably six years ago. It took my breath away. The photo is a precious and very dear shot of my parents, both looking very well and very happy to be posing for whoever was behind the camera. 'There's no way I can express the way I felt as I looked at the picture, obviously taken at a time when things were reasonably ok with them both. It's just four years since my Dad's death and about two years since my Mom's health began to fail seriously. I had almost forgotten how they once looked when all was right in their world. There were many, many pictures taken of them during their 69 years together. Some were beautiful, some were less than photogn'aphic perfection, but at this stage in my life, they all have special meaning. This one is just the tiniest bit out of focus, but it doesn't detract from the exceptionally charming quality. I would like to thank the person who delivered it. I tried to think where it might have come from and wondered whether my buddy who owns film development places was responsible, or maybe one of my pals in the Jewish Press office or even someone from the Jewish Historical Society. So far I've only checked on one of those possibilities and came up with a "no, it wasn't me." Since this is written a couple of weeks before it is printed, I presume 111 know by then. For right now, I'll have to wonder. One thing I know for certain . . . the person who left that photo must know how much it would mean to me. I can only hope he or she understands how very much I appreciate the thoughtful gesture. Please identify yourself, mystery-person, so I can thank you properly.
Supreme Court rejects appeal TEL AVIV (JTA) — Israel's Supreme Court has rejected the latest in a series of appeals by Robert Manning, thereby clearing the way for his extradition to the United States, where he is wanted on charges connected to a 1980 mail- bombing murder in Cahfomia. On Sunday, the court rejected Manning's argument that he should be tried in Israel and not America. The court has also rejected Manning's argument that as a prisoner in the United States he would be unable to fulfill his religious commitments properly as an observant Jew. The couple moved to Israel and settled in the West Bank settlement of Kiryat Arba several years ago.

Seven hot tips that wfll save you cold cash With hot weather comes the need for air conditioning and an increased use of electricity. That means your electric service bills, like the temperature, will probably be higher in the summer. But. by following these seven hot tips, you can save cold cash on summer cooling costs!

I Pi P 9 V ^1
Awnings over windows exposed to direct sunlight can reduce the sun's heat penetration by 50 to 75 percent! Shade screens can also keep the summer heat out.
For a more efficient cooling system, keep filters clean. Have your system serviced. Avoid direct sunlight on the cooling unit itself. If necessary, consider shrubbery or cwshade tree. Take care, however, not to plant trees or foliage too close to the cooling unit which could impede air circulation. Draw your blinds, shades, or drapes to keep out the hot sun. Light-colored drapes are better because they reflect more heal.
Don't add heat to your home needlessly Turn off lights, radios, and television sets that aren't being used
Exhaust fans can help. A bathroom exhaust fan will remove heat and moisture created during bathing and showering. A kitchen exhaust Ian will carry away cooking odors, as well as cooking heat and moisture Both are good ways to reduce humidity, as well as heat

Dutch sentence eight neo-Nazis By Heariette Boas i AMSTERDAM (JTA) — Eight Dutch neo-Naris have been flned about $226 and sentenced to between 50 and 110 hours of commuiuty service for taking part in a demonstration in which they wore Nazi garb and shouted Nazi slogans. The youths, from different parts of the country and ranging in age from 20 to 36, also received three weeks of probation from the District Court in Leeuwarden, the site of their April 29 demonstration against the trial of another neo-Nazi.
The youths wore collars with swastikas... The youths wore collars with swastikas, carried iron chains and knives, shouted Nazi slogans and threatened another group protesting racism and fascism. Three of the eight had been arrested the night before their own trial in Leeuwarden for putting up neo-Nazi posters with swastikas and the slogan. The neo-Nazi whose April trial was the occasion for the eight men's first demonstration was tried for seriously wounding another man and sentenced to five years in prison. He has appealed that sentence.

ALA defeats anti-Israel resolution By Tova Mirvis NEW YORK. July 7 (JTA) — Following charges of anti-Israel bias, the policy-making council of the American Library Association voted to rescind a 1992 resolution condemning Israel for censorship and human rights violations.
The ALA'a membership, meanwhile, defeated a resolution that would have reaffirmed last year's condemnation of Israel. The larger body, however, did not repeal its 1992 resolution. Both decisions were readied by overwhelming nugorities at the ALA's

annual convention held in New Oiieans fh>m June 24 to July 1. About 18,000 librarians attended the convention. Protestors have charged the ALA with singling out Israel while ignoring censorship and human rights violations in other countries. They have also said it was inappropriate for the ALA to involve itself in complex political issues. The 1992 resolution, passed by both the council and the membership, called for "the government of Israel to end all censorship and human rights violations in the Occupied West Bank and Gaza, and in Israel itself." The council repealed the 1992 resolution on the grounds that it had t>een passed without being submitted for study and recommendations.

Envoy fails to bridge gaps , JERUSALEM (JTA) — American envoy Dennis Ross' mission to reinvigorate the Middle East peace process has failed so far to bridge 'the gaps between Israeli and Palestinian positions. And his attempt to push forward the Israeli-Syrian talks has been sidetracked by the deteriorating security situation in southern Lebanon. ' In Jerusalem, Ross founi^ that the gaps between Israel and the Palestinians on the status of Jerusalem usalem and the jurisdiction of a Palestinian autoi arrangement were too' wide to bridge in a joint°^ ration of principles that the Americans have been en Tryrrying to hammer out for-months. The top Palestinian negotiators even refused to see Ross for a planned meeting last Friday, in protest against an American draft statement aimed at closing the gaps between the two sides. Faisal Husseini and Dr. Haidar Abdel-Shafi did not bother to show up at the meeting, saying there was no point discussing documents as long as there was no agreement on Jerusalem and issues of jurisdiction within the autonomy plan. The Palestinians demand that Arab residents of eastern Jerusalem be given the right to vote and be elected to the governing institutions of any Palestinian self-rule plan. This demand is unacceptable to the Israelis, who regard eastern Jerusalem an integral part of Israel proper. Local Israeli papers were generally pessimistic on Ross' mission, given both Palestinian and Israeli insistence on control over Jerusalem. The American delegation did meet Friday with Foreign Minister Shimon Peres and senior ofRcials at the Foreign Ministry. Peres suggested that following an agreement on a joint declaration of principles, the Palestinians would be allowed to implement self-rule in the Gaza Strip and acquire wide-ranging powers in the West Bank.

By Morrii Maline If all goes as planned, Omahan Dan Mirvieh will shout 'action", the cameras will roll and a full-length motion picture will be on its way. A product of the University of Southern California graduate film school, Mr. Mirvish plans to produce the film as his graduate thesis. "We will use a full film crew, local talent, and the State of Nebraska for our sets." Mr. Mirvish, son of Dr. Sidney and Linda Mirvish, is a 1986 graduate of Central High School and he attended Washington University in St. Louis as a Phi Beta Kappa history mtgor. After working as a free-lance journalist, and as a speech writer for U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin, he traveled in Africa and Europe and then pursued his film education in CaHfomia. Mr. Mirvish, who is carrying the multiple titles of writer/director, and co-producer, has secured the participation of Dana Altman as co-producer and Andy Anderson, cinematographer. The next step, he said, is to secure financing, "and this means we have to raise anywhere from $50,000 to $200,000." Mr. Mirvish said the venture capital will come from investors in a limited partnership and the amount raised will determine whether the film is shot in 16mm, in 35mm with local actors, or in 35mm wit^ some name actors. Mr. Mirvish said the film will be named "Omaha" and that its success will result from a good story^nd its unique midwestem locations.
Dan Mirvish shows how he'll set up a camera angle when he starts filming "Omaha", a fulllength motion picture. j He pointed out that a cast of about 35-40 will be assembled largely from local talent. The story line is about a young man who returns to Omaha from a trip to Nepal and confronts not just his "peculiar family and friends, but also a pair of Colombian jewel thieves." He said, "Omaha is an endearing portrayal of the city and the state we live in, and ultimately proves that there really is no place like Nebraska."
Strike hits commerce
Murder enrages settlers
JERUSALEM (JTA) — The murder of a one-time Soviet Jewish refusenik in the West Bank late last week has enraged Jewish settlers and heightened fears that Palestinians are again stepping up terrorist attacks on Israeli civilians. The murder last week triggered protests by settlers, who sought permission by the government to establish a new settlement at the site of the kilhng but were allowed only to hold memorial services there. Mordechai Lipkin, 39, was ambushed by terrorists near Bethlehem as he was returning home to the settlement of Tekoa after dropping off his father, Binyamin, at the nearby settlement of Alon Shvut.
TEL AVIV (JTA) — A strike by over 60,000 Israeli government employees widened Sunday, disrupting railroad services and commerce. The strikers threatened to include telephone, postal, radio and television workers within a few days if their demands for wage increases were not met. No serious negotiations have been held since the strike l)egan last week with workers' demands for a 35 percent wage increase, to be implemented in stages over the coming three years. The Finance Ministry announced it would not negotiate with strikers and would only consider increases of a maximum 3 percent per year for three years.
