NCJW's National Day of the Working Parent
From left, Delores Brady, Deborah Jaeger and Joanne Mihelich.
Art show opens Aug. 11 The Visual Arts Department of the JCC will exhibit the work of three local artists in the art galleiy from Aug. 10 to Sept. 2. A reception will be held Wednesday, Aug. 11, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. The three artists met while working on degrees at Creighton University. All have shown individually in a variety of spaces in Omaha, including their first exhibition together at the Peter Kiewit Conference Center. Delores Brady began painting after a visit to the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. She focuses mainly on landscapes and says, "I am trying in some small way to give concrete realization to my artistic vision." Deborah Jaeger uses print making as her medium of expression. She works with large canvas, creating abstract pieces. In addition to local exhibitions, she has shown at the Instituto Guatemalteco Americano in Guatemala City. Joanne Mihelich concentrates in drawing and painting with acrylic and oil. Many of her works are portraits. She comments, "I strive to capture the inner spirit. I fee! it is much easier to create a person's image than to create the subject's soul. That is the ultimate challenge." Joanne is also an art teacher and floral designer. The art gallery is open during regular JCC hours. CLIP & SAVE

expressed concern with portions of a new U.S. immigration policy unveiled by the Clinton administration and supported by key members of Congress. Both the American Jewish Committee and the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society said that elements of the plan that deal with asylum- seekers could damage the American tradition of allowing persecuted people, including Jews, to seek refuge here. The plan, which deals with a range of immigration-related issues, was announced at a news conference by President Clinton, Vice President Al Gore and Attorney General Janet Reno. The new policy was formulated against a backdrop of concern about illegal immigration into the United States and overly easy access to the country by potential terrorists. The case of Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, a nowfamous Muslim cleric linked to the suspect* in the World Trade Cerfter bombing, brought public attention to the eaaa with which some people tied to terrorism enter the country. The provision that particularly concerns Jewish groups is a proposal to quicken the procedures by which illegal aliens are processed at points of entry to the United States. The groups have eipressed concern that under the profiosed new policy, low-level oincials without the proper training could turn asylum-seekers •way without granting them proper channels to

Sparks from The Word rBy Rabbi Myer S. Kripke I Parashat Ekev ' The Baalim of American Jews More, and more frequently we read articles that remind Americans of "The Dechne and Fall of the Roman Empire," citing various parallels between our civilization and ancient Rome's. Has America passed its heyday? i Our Sidrah has a melancholy prediction about anci^ Israel, while it was still not yet established in iflkoi^llPie text has it that Moses warned.the peoi^^Pthat the time would come when they would be strong and prosperous and self-satisfied. Then they would say, "My own power and the might of my own hand have won this wealth for me." Moses warns them that they would forget the Lord who brought them out of Egypt, through the dread wilderness, and to this good land, and they would worship foreign gods. According to the Bible, that is exactly wljat happened. The ups and downs of Israelite history through the period of the kings, up to the very moment of the destruction and the exile, showed constantly recurring idolatry, worship of the gods of the land. / Was this not natural? In an agricultural society, was it not necessary, or at least understandable, that they would seek the favor of the Baalim, the masters of the forces of Nature, sun and rain and fertility? Americans are proud of the great country we have produced between the great oceans, by our "own power and the might of our own hands." We tend to worship wealth, production, trade balances, the bottom line. This is the religion of most of the televangelists, the power-of-positive-thinking preachers. But not much different occurs in most bf the churches. And in most of the synagogues. American Jews have our own Baalim, all of the American Baalim and some of our own. We worship the size of membership in our institutions, the smoothness of our organizational activity, the success of fund drives,
What will they remember? By Sheldon A. Bernstein, endowment director The Foundation of the Jewish Federation of Omaha I had a visitor in my office last week who told me he had trouble falling asleep one recent summer night. "I just couldn't sleep," he said. "As the darkness enveloped me, only the eerie light of my clock radio burned on as my day passed in review." "Earlier that day, I had gone to see my lawyer, Abe, something I'd been putting off since my wife Mollie died a year ago. Besides, who wants to think of their own mortality?...let alone discuss it." "But as Abe and I spoke of trusts, gifts, bequests, taxes and even guardianships, he asked me a curious question:" "Do you want to leave a legacy to the Jewish community of Omaha?" My visitor told his lawyer, "I've given all my life through good times and bad times. It's enough already. Perhaps now is the time to consider givinah all my property to my children and grandchildren." My visitor continued, "So here I am, Sheldon, with the same naggmg question running through my hi-ad. What will they rememl)er? My children will remind my grandchildren of the good times we spent together. But as the years meld into one another and time ticks away, will the only memory of me be a picture in nn old family album?" "Over the years, I've given my time and money to our Jewish community and helped bring it to the state of vitality it enjoys today Not only do I want my descendants to know they ore Jewtsh, but I also want them to take res)>onsibility as Jews in the
the look of busy-ness and constant activity in our institutions. • Our moral-cultural nakedness appears when we look at the number of people engaged in any kind of adult study, and the limited leammg we are able to provide for our children and teenagers. The prophetic movement was a constant and justifiable complaint against the loss of Israel's moral moorings. American Jews, the most prosperous in Jewish history, are the least culturally sound segment in Jewish history. Are we not rightly concerned? We ought to be concentrating on the three pillars of Jewish life — God, Torah, and (the peoplehood ,oO Israel. Anything less, anything different, is Baal worship.

"As I laid there unable to sleep, my mind drifted back to my meeting with Abe. And that's when 1 thought of The Foundation! There is an answer to my question. I can endow my philanthropic interests!" "My children and grandchildren won't love me less if I give a portion of my estate to The Foundation by establishing a permanent endowment fund in my name and Mollie's. In-fact, this may give me that touch of immortality I'd like. More importantly, when grants are made to various programs in the community from the endowment fund bearing our names, they will remember me!" I'd like to invite you, also, to discuss your endowment plans with me at The Foundation office, 402334-8200. There is no cost or obligation.

By Bert Lewis I saw, something the other day that made me wish I had a camera in my hands. It was a woman , sitting in a rocking chair on the front porch rockihg gently and obviously enjoying a quiet Sunday afternoon. What captured my attention was the cordless phone she was using. What a picture of contrast! Many of us remember the simple pleasure of sitting on the porch, rocking or still, and just feeling quiet contentment. That's the kind of thing people have in mind when they say "stop and smell the flowers." I suppose there are many reasons why we find the idea of simply sitting and rocking old fashioned, to say the least. The usual excuse is "who has time?" What a pity ... with all of our modem and latest state-of-the-art inventions, we ought to have more leisure, not less. Yet how many of us actually can say that? The person who can save significant time and effort by "faxing" information from here to there will tell you how important that gizmo is; but seldom do you hear it said that "now I have time to sit do'wn with that new book," because of the facsimile machine. Maybe our compulsive need to be on top of absolutely everything keeps us from enjoying life the way they did a few generations ago. Maybe we should blame the television — the easy habit of sitting down in a comfortable chair and flipping on the dumb box. There are those who are so intent on keeping themselves in tip-top physical condition that they make time to jog or walk or slam around a tennis court or shlep around a golf course. I'm not criticizing exercise ... please don't get me wrong! I'm wondering if some of that time might bring a healthier state of mind if it were spent sitting quietly and watching the show mother nature produces. I'm old enough to easily remember when a summer evening long ago meant finishing dinner and taking the evening paper outside to read while sitting on the porch. If it had been especially hot,
maybe th^ paper was read indoors, giving the sun time to simmer down. Maybe the going outside to sit was postponed, but seldom was it eliminated. Of course, it doesn't take a genius to figure out how much air conditioning has to do with that memory, does it? Nor do I subscribe to the idea that ^everything was better in "the old days" when we didn't hurry around so much. Heavens no ... there are too many important and necessary refinements of former methods to think such thoughts. Bet we do spend a lot of time hurrying and worrying about just getting through each day. And it really would be nice if we could figure out how to use our current improved ways and still combine them with some of the old, less harried customs. Maybe that describes the lady I saw in the rocking chair. Remember? The one with the cordless telephone. Somehow, she seemed to have the best of two worlds. The old and the new. Not bad.
Leader meets with Presidents NEW YORK (JTA) — After years of tension, leaders of the Black Hebrew community in Israel met recently for the first time with representatives of the American Jewish community to resolve past differences and increase cooperation. •"Our aim is to perpetuate Israel and to strengthen relations between blacks and Jews," said BenAmmi Carter, the group's leader, in his address to the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations. ""We want to find joint solutions and work together on joint problems." Lester Pollack, chairman of the Conference of Presidents, said he welcomed this opportunity "to discuss our concerns as well as our mutual interests. The sentiments we heard were reassuring and we hope they will be translated into constructive results." In the past, the Black Hebrews have been involved in controversies including allegations of improper activities, illegal immigration and statements denying Israel's legitimacy.
Italy arrests extremist ROME (JTA) — One of Italy's most notorious right- wing extremists was arrested recently on charges of racism and the reconstruction of the Fascist Party. Police arrested Franco Freda, 52, near his summer home in southern Italy, on the order of magistrates from the northern city of Verona. Freda, a longtime ultra-rightist militant, was implicated in various acts of terrorism in Italy over the past 25 years and served a 12-year jail term for subversive activities. He was previously charged with involvement in the 1969 terrorist bombing of a bank in Milan, but after a long series of trials and appeals he was formally acquitted in 1985. The bombing, in which 16 people died and 87 were injured, was the first mqjor terrorist action in the wave of right- and left-wing terroriat attacks that swept Italy in the 19708. The charges leading to his arrest related to Freda's founding two years ago of a far-right group called the Fronte Nazionale, or National Front. Four of his associates were also arrested on similar charges. According to the charges, the National Front spreads racism and promotes "the deeds, exponents and methods of fascism and Nazism, including through public demonstrations of a racist character." "Wc have proof of such activity by this organization," magistrate Guido Papalia told reporters.

New chairman of Operation Exodus By Larry Yudelson i NEW YORK (JTA) — Richard Wexler gets them going and coming. As chairman of the National Conference on Soviet Jewry, Wexler is working to keep the gates open for Jews who want to leave the former Soviet Union. And as newly named chairman of the United Jewish Appeal's $580 million Operation Exodus II campaign, he is raising the money it takes for them to come to Israel. •'There's a certain logic to it," he said of his dual portfolio. Wexler's recent appointment to the post comes as the fund- raising campaign is accelerating across the country, toward a scheduled May 1994 completion date. Operation Exodus was initiated in response to the vast flood of immigrants leaving what was then the Soviet Union in 1989. But rapidly accelerating immigration quickly rendered inadequate the "campaign's goal of $420 millibn from American Jewry over five years. What one might call "Exodus redux" was then proposed in 1990. Exodus I was accelerated to three years and Exodus II was readied in reserve. So far, UJA has collected more than $820 million in cash, marking not only the successful completion of Exodus I, but a significant step toward the total $1 billion goal of the two Exodus drives. The flood of immigrants from the former Soviet Union, which peaked in 1990 with more than 180,000, has now subsided. Currently, between 4,000 and 6,000 are arriving in Israel each month. The recently concluded Jewish Agency Board of Governors meeting in Jerusalem approved a budget that assumes only 70,000 Soviet Jews will arrive this year. "Everyone would like to see the flow dramatically increasing," said Wexler.
Syria may be the big winner in cease-fire in Lebanon By Gil Sedan JERUSALEM (JTA) — Surprisingly, Syria has emerged as the big winner of "Operation Accountability," Israel's weeklong barrage of targets in southern Lebanon. Syrian gains in the confrontation between Israel and the pro-Iranian Hezbollah may well be registered in the history books as a rare phenomenon in that a third party made a political profit from a military conflict — without firing a shot Israel came out of the confrontation with a limited military advantage. No more Katyusha rockets will be fired at settlements in northern Israel, according to verbal assurances made over the weekend. But Hezbollah remains in the arena and is still loudly proclaiming its right to operate freely within the Israeli- controlled security zone along the border in southern Lebanon. For an entire week, Syrian President Hafez Assad remained cool and aloof. When asked to intervene to stop the Hezbollah attacks, his aides insisted that they could do nothing to stop a "legitimate resistance against occupation."
But then the Americans turned up the pressure, sures to signal Hezbollah that the Katyusha party was over. and Assad changed course. Syria stopped the supply line between Teheran U.S. oflficials were concerned that Secretary of State Warren Christopher's planned visit to the and Hezbollah headquarters in the Lebanese Bekaa region this week would be overshadowed by the Valley, and it gave the Lebanese army the green light to limit Hezbollah activities. shooting and the Lebanese refugee problem.

"It is hard to remember when the White House, Congress and the American media were so friendly to Israel," Ambassador Itamar Rabinovich said in an address to the national convention of Hadassah, the Women's Zionist Organization of America. . He credited a new "mind-set of peace" in the Middle East for improvements in Israel's overall international posture.

MILWAUKEE — A federal immigration court's decision Monday that former Nazi concentration camp guard Anton Baumann be deported only if his health improves is an example of how "justice delayed is justice denied," contends Milwaukee Jewish Council Executive Director Mordecai Lee. "If he never gets deported due to his current health situation, then justice has truly been denied, because had the deportation occurred a few years ago, his health wouldn't have been an obstacle," Lee said. "The game plan of his attorney (David J. Cannon) was to run out the clock, delaying, appealing, holding off on motions until the last possible deadline," Lee continued. , "This appears to have been successful. It is very frustrating that 'the U.S. criminal justice system can be manipulated to prevent justice from occurring." Cannon was unavailable for comment. Sam Israelski of Lake Success, N.Y., who testified at Baumann's denaturalization hearing at federal court here two years ago, said he is "very sad" that "the immigration department is so slow (that) he will die before they deport him." Israelski was an inmate at the Stutthof concentration camp when Baumann was a guard there as a member of the WafTen SS Death's Head Batallion. "When I was sick in the place where he was in his glory, (SS guards like him) were beating people who were dying," Israelski said.
ADL backs FBI nominee By Deborah Kalb and Lisa Mann WASHINGTON (JTA) — Judge Louis Freeh, President Clinton's nominee to head the FBI, has won the backing of the Anti-Defamation League. But the Jewish defense agency has expressed concern about the ties of another Clinton nominee to a country club that appears to restrict its membership. Sally Greenberg, Eastern states civil rights counsel for ADL, wrote last week to Sheila Widnall, Clinton's nominee for secretary of the U.S. Air Force, about herviusband's membership in the Eastern Yacht Clulrwi the Boston area. The ADL letter s»i4the organization was not aware of any black memB&M, and very few Jewish members, belonging to the cmb. Its reputation, the letter said, is that of "a place Where Jews and other minorities are not welcome as members." The letter added that while\it is Widnall's husband who belongs to Qie club, she also sails there nearly every weekend. Widnall's nomination to the Air Force post was approved by the Senate Armed Services committee and the full Senate is to take up her nomination in the near future.
