Scholarship assistance provided by Kooper Trust A scholarship has been established in memory of Robert H. Kooper and in honor of Dorothy G. Kooper, and through this trust, one scholarship will be available for the 1994-95 school year. It wilt be based on financial need for a Jewish student wishing to further his or her post-secondary education. Robert Kooper had a long history of service to the Jewish community. He was elected B'nai B'rith president in 1929; headed Beth El Synagogue in 1941; was president of Highland Country Club in 1951 and was chairman of the philanthropies drive in 1954. He died in 1961. Mrs. Kooper is still a strong supporter and worked with the Jewish Federation and Beth El Sisterhood. She will celebrate her 94th birthday in May. "Awarding a scholarship to a young Jewish person is a very appropriate way of honoring my parents," Howard Kooper noted. He and his wife, Sharon, will fund the Kooper Charitable Foundation Trust. Applications for the Robert H. and Dorothy G. Kooper scholarship are available by calling Mr. Kooper's office at 392-1800. The completed form must be received by April 1. Tom Fellman will also act as trustee of the Foundation.

Kosher Club announced
Welcome Lev! YItzchok Katzman An estimated 200 members of the Jewish community attended the bris of Levi Yitzchok Katzman Feb. 8 at the Jewish Community Center. Holding his first son is Rabbi Mendel Katzman. Rabbi and Shani Katzman also have six girls. Participating in the ceremony were 10 Chabad rabbis from throughout the United States. Rabbis Joseph Friedman of Beth Israel Synagogue, Myer S. Kripke and Paul Drazen of Beth El Synagogue, and scores of laymen also participated.
By Mary Fellman Because of the recent closing of Omaha's only kosher butcher shop, plans are now being announced for an Omaha Kosher Buying Club for joint purchasing of kosher meat and poultry. , Products will be shipped to Omaha from Jacobsons' Strictly Kosher Foods in Kansas City, Mo. The store, which is under the supervision of the Kansas City Vaad, carries Rubashkin meats and Hebrew National poultry. Orders will be boxed per customer with individual billing. Orders will be delivered by truck to Omaha with pickup at the Jewish Community Center. Volunteers will staff the receipt and distribution of each order and accept payment. Special arrangements will be made for working people. The first order is planned to arrive in Omaha at least two weeks before Passover which begins March 28. An annual fee of $20 will be charged to individuals or to a group of persons or families who wish to order together. These costs will cover the postage, order list and the copying expense. Before orders can be placed, checks should be sent to Jeanne Schechet, 1855 South 130th St., Omaha, NE, 68144. Telephone is 333-4202. In speaking for the ad hoc planning committee for the Buying Club, Mrs. Schechet said,"We certainly don't want to leave out anyone regardless of the size of their order. That's why the $20 fee can cover one family or a number of persons who might want to place smaller orders together. We will make certain that everyone has access to kosher meat and poultry if they want it. This also includes families or individuals in Council Bluffs, Lincoln and throughout Nebraska."

By Jane Batt, assistant director, ADL/CRC As a result of the impact of the acclaimed Steven Spielberg movie, "Schindler's List", members of the Omaha Jewish community area are helping high school students see the movie. Those students seeing the movie may also enter essay contests sponsored by these individuals allowing the students the opportunity to analyze the messages raised in the movie of personal choice and responsibility. Can one person make a difference? "The movie is a powerful tool to teach the Holocaust and raise awareness of the ultimate horror of anti-semitism", according to Bob Wolfson, Plains States regional director of the AntiDefamation League. "Our office has been inundated by requests for speakers, panels, and materials. Sam Fried shared his experience as a survivor of Auschwitz with 300 Westside High School students and offered them passes to see "Schindler's List". Sam and Frances Fried, along with the Carl L. Frohm Memorial Foundation, are sponsoring the passes and a trip to Washington, D.C., to the winner of an essay contest. The contest is open to those Westside students who see the movie and were in the classes in which Mr. Fried was guest speaker. Omaha Public and Catholic schools were given 1000 free tickets by Karen and Gary Javitch for students to see the film. Thoy also have donated funds for cash prizes that will be awarded to winners of an essay contest open to all Omaha area high school students who have seen the movie. According to Mr. Javitch, "We wanted the students to have an opportunity to see the movie because it demonstrated three things. First, it dramatically recreated a slice of war-time life in a concentration camp. Second, it accurately conveyed some of the fesr and horror of the Holocaust. Finally, the movie inspires the message Never Again!" After seeing; the ADL sereening of "Schindler's
.1
List" Carol and Alan Parsow felt that the movie is one everyone should see, but "especially the kids because they have the most to gain over the balance of their lives." Mr. Parsow said, "Kids live in a media driven world, and this movie is a vehicle to transport them into the center of man's inhumanity to man. The movie gives kids a means to evaluate their part in our society and hopefully leave their prejudices behind." The Parsows recently sponsored a showing of •Schindler's List" for 300 Elkhorn High School juniors and seniors. They were joined by 150 high school students from the Iowa Tri-Center schools who were able to join Elkhorn because of the dona- j tion by the Parsows. After the showing, ADL ' arranged a panel discussion for the students to ask questions and discuss the movie. Panelists were Mr. Parsow, Mr. Wolfson, and survivors Lola Reinglas and Cantor Leo Fettman, who answered the students questions. ADL/CRC is planning showings and programming for other area high schools and distributing materials The essay contests mnde possible by these donors will also be organized and implemented through the ADI7CRC office.

l\/luslim family honored By Michele Chabin MEVASSERET ZION, Israel, (JTA) — It has been 50 years since the Hardagas, a Muslim family from Sarajevo, saved the lives of their Jewish neighbors during the darkest days of the Holocaust. Last week, some of that "debt" was repaid when Zajneba Hardaga-Susic, 76, and her family were evacuated from the war- torn Bosnian capital in a daring rescue operation spearheaded by the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee. Devout Muslims, the Hardagas provided refuge to three Jewish families during World War II. The Kabiljos, who made aliyah in 1950, brought the Hardagas actions to the attention of the.Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial in Jerusalem, which honored the family as Righteous Gentiles in 1985. "It was then," says Zajneba, '"that I fell in love with Israel." Over the years, the Hardagas and Kabilios have maintained strong ties. In addition to the Jerusalem reunion nine years ago, the two families have corresponded whenever circumstances permitted. Though the elder Kabilios are now deceased, Tpva (Kabilio) Grinberg, who was a small child at the start of the Second World War, has a box full of treasured photographs and letters from the Hardagas that span more than half a century. She is especially close to Zarfa, Zajneba's older daughter and a childhood friend, who is still in Sarajevo. In 1992, at the start of the Yugoslav civil war, Tova invited the Hardagas to Israel for a second visit. Zarfa's daughter and grandchildren were able to leave Sarajevo and flew to Israel.

Sparks from The Word
Editorial ^H^ ^F
By Morris Maline Science and reli^on | As a student, I had a great de^il of difficulty in correlating the billions of years associated with the universe and the biblical six-days of creation. As an adult, I remained troubled. Until Sunday night... Dr. Gerald Schroeder, an applied physicist and theologian, author of Genesis and The Big Bang, spent two hours explaining the corhpatibility of science and religion to approximately 100 at the Jewish Community Center. In preparation for the session, I had scanned his book (available at the Federation Library) because I had thought it unlikely that anyone could explain how the events of billions of years following the Creation and the events described in the first six days could be identical realities. Using a blackboard, Dr. Schroder separated the six days of creation from the biblical calendar of 5754 years and outlined the history of the universe and the history of Earth up to and continuing from the forming of Adam and Eve. By explaining Einstein's Theory of Relativity in layman's terms and by introducing basic scientific theories involving the flexible flow of time relating to gravity and velocity, Dr. Schroder was able to show how the six days of Creation contained all the secrets of the universe. He referred to archaeological finds and fossil evidence to prove the timeline in the biblical calendar and discussed references in the Bible to demonstrate the compatibility of the text with modernday knowledge. My thanks to Beth Israel Synagogue for sponsoring Dr. Schroder's visit, thus providing me with answers I have been looking for for many, many years.
Super Sunday reaches goal By M'Lee and Larry Hasslinger, Super Sunday chairmen We want to thank all those who made this year's Super Sunday a success. Our goal of $50,000 was reached at 7:32 p.m. on Sunday evening. This could not have happened without all the volunteers who manned the phones and made their time count. Early in the day, some of the phones stopped working and while those repairs were being made, Steve Redler and Howard Epstein went to the wall phone to continue making their calls. Special thanks go to our sponsors. Bagel Bin, Bags and Baggage, Baker's Supermarket, City Sprinkler Company, Demma Fruit Company, Larry Herman, Sheri Idelman, Julio's, KB Foods, MidContinent Bottlers, No Frills Supermarket, Nobbies, Norman Sheldon, D.D.S., Omaha Compound, Richman Gordman and Zio's Pizza for their support. Thanks to our great committee, Kim and Marc Kahn, Todd and Wendy Manvitz, Doug and Sara Wolfson, and Bobby Shapiro. It is because of the dedication of all these people that we had such a super Sunday! We also want to extend a special thanks to all the children who made the posters that covered the walls at Richman Gordman and inspired our callers with enthusasm. Our biggest and loudest thank you must go to all of our Super Sunday donors. This would not have worked if the Jewish community, as a whole, had not participated. It was you who answered the telephones and it was you who made the commitment that allowed us to reach our goal. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your contributing support. We thank you for your effort for all of our children and for their future. We are in this all together us one family, and from where we stand, it's a great family to be in!
By Rabbi Myer S. Kripl^e Parashat Tetzaveh — Par^shat Zakhor Opening the Floodgates— "The Nation of Islam" Considering that Israel was attacked repeatedly on its way from Egypt to Canaan, and regularly thereafter, the Midrash tries to puzzle out why it is that it is the Amalekites who are to be remembered forever as the paradigrriatic enemy. (Paradoxically, they are to be remembered by making their name forgotten — i.e., blotting out their name!) The answer comes from remembering how Israel is depicted (anachronistically!) in the Song of the Sea: all the nations are melted in fear of triumphant Israel, for Israel is protected and championed by the mighty arm of the Lord. Then why was Israel thwarted repeatedly on its way to the Promised Land? Because of the precedent of the Amalekites. Not only precedent, the Midrash suggests. There was actually a cooling off of the flaming fear of the triumphant Israelites. And Midrash offers an example: if there is a pool of boiling hot water, anyone jumping in will be severely burned. Israel was that pool. Amalek foolishly jumped in and was severely burned. But the pool was cooled by Amalek's presence — and now other nations did not hesitate to attack. It was not by chance that the "code-word" for the oppressing Christian Church during rabbinic (and midrashic) times was "Edom," i.e., Esau or Amalek
(Esau's descendent). It was the Church that slandered Judaism and oppressed Jews during long centuries. The Crusades, to use an operative word, were crucial in this regard during the second millenium — for it was apparent now that Jews were vulnerable, and that individuals and mobs could attack them with impunity, often inspired to do so officially by the Church or unofficially by churchmen. Fortunately, the Church has now repudiated its former position and doctrine vis-a-vis Jews and Judaism ai}d is trying to make amends. But just as others were taught by' Amalek in ancient times that it was not impossible to attack Israel, so too in the modern world Arab nations have been taken up the slanders and the hatred and freely attack Jews and Judaism . . . The present "peace process" has yet to produce results — and any results that may be produced by the process may not be peaceful. In our own backyard, the United States, Jews are regularly and irrespons[Wy attacked by some American blacks, especially the so-called "Nation of Islam." They have adopted for themselves all of the medieval slanders against Jews, and added on all of the complaints of African-American against American whites. There is nothing more vicious in contemporary anti-Semitism than the indecencies and plain dirtiness of the Nation of Islam. It has become the Amalek of our time and our place. It must be denied place among civilized people by Jews, by other American whites and by African-Americans.

Rabbis RabI see education as Icey to Jewish continuity
By Joe Carroll At a forum sponsored by Jewish Family Service recently, the three senior rabbis in Omaha agreed that the key to Jewish continuity was education. Before a crowd of 300 people. Rabbis Aryeh Azriel, Paul Drazen and Joseph Friedman answered pre-submitted questions for 45 minutes. The difTerences in their theological observances were explained In response to questions about the changing role of women, Rabbi Drazen said the conservative transformation began to take place more than a century ago. "Because of education, a woman can now be ordained as a cantor or rabbi. Rabbi Azriel noted the first woman had been ordained in the reform movement 21 years ago. Rabbi Friedman said the Torah doesn't follow fads."The last 100 years is a mere blip in time, however feminism has embraced Torah Judaism. Responding to the question, "Who is a Jew?" both Rabbis Friedman and Drazen stated that a Jew is defined as a person with a Jewish mother. Rabbi Friedman said the child is defined through the matriarch because a mother gives the child "modesty, humility and giving." Rabbi Azriel said in liberal Judaism a Jew Can also be defined as the child of a Jewish father if he publicly proclaims his Jewishness in a timely manner. In a statement that was met by approval of the other two Rabbis, Rabbi Azriel said Jewish education was not now a priority in Omaha. "We are going to offer a proposal that every Jewish child receive $500 towards a camp, or mission education." The panel agreed the only answer to strengthening identities is education. Rabbi Friedman said those who were not learning were walking dead Jews.
In the audience participation segment, Larry Rafel asked what he should tell his children about' God's role in the Holocaust. Rabbi Drazen said hie did not believe in a Ciod who uses people to make a ploint. Rabbi Friedman said a two minute answer to an ancient question couldn't be answered in a peuiel format. Rabbi Azriel suggested a special segment of the seder be set aside to remember the Holocaust. Eadie Tsabari suggested to other parents, "Don't drop your children off for classes, stay and learn with them. "

By Hugh Orgel TEL AVIV (JTA) — In a move that may one day enable Israel to host a winter sports competition, construction will soon begin on the country's first Olympic-sized ice-skating rink. The proposed rink, which will be built in strict compliance with Olympic standards, will be part of the Canada Center sports complex in Metulla, in northern Israel. The project will be funded in part by the United Israel Appeal in Canada and the Jewish Agency. Additional funding is expected to come from government sources, including the Tourism Ministry. Israel's entry into the world of winter sports comes largely as a result of the immigration of athletes from the former Soviet Union.
