JERUSALEM (JTA) — The killing of at least 40 Palestinians by a Jewish settler last Friday has sparked continued unrest here and has left Israeli officials pessimistic about the future course of negotiations with their Arab neighbors. On Monday, the fourth consecutive day of widespread unrest in the territories and throughout Israel following the killings in Hebron, two Palestinians were killed during violent confrontations with the Israel Defense Force. On the diplomatic front, Israeli officials reacted glumly to the not-unexpected news that Syria, Lebanon and Jordan had decided to suspend the bilateral negotiations in Washington. In Jerusalem, the Knesset united behind a resolution condemning Friday's murders. It marked the first time that all parties in the 13th Knesset, left- and right-wing parties alike,_^ agreed on the text of a resolution. '^M Following the government's announcement that^* a special board of inquiry would be set up to investigate the massacre, the president of the Supreme Court, Justice Meir Shamgar, announced Monday that he would personally chair the commission. Despite a curfew still in force over the city, rioting took place Monday in Hebron. One man was killed by the IDF near the Tomb of the Patriarchs, where Dr. Baruch Goldstein raked hundreds of Muslim worshippers with automatic rifle fire last Friday. Arafat has termed inadequate a series of measures imposed Sunday by the Israeli government to crack down on Jewish extremists. He has also called for the complete removal of all settlements and for the presence of U.N. forces in the territories as prerequisites for the resumption of talks with Israel. Last week, only two days before the mass murders in Hebron, optimistic announcements were issuing from Jerusalem and Cairo.

However, as a Midwestemer for many years now, I have also developed an appreciation for the beauty of the prairies and in products of human manipulation. I especially delight in capturing images which combine the diverse forms and shapes of nature with those of our own human design. "To me, the medium of black and white photography best expresses these wonderful textures, shapes, and lines. In my work, like that of Ansel Adams and others, I strive for not only meaningful and expressive images, but for photographs with meticulous attention to print quality and archival longevity-'

WASHINGTON (JTA) — The Clinton administration has spent the days following last Friday's killing spree in Hebron trying to ensure that the murder of dozens of Palestinian worshippers by a Jewish settler will not derail theHiddle East peace process. In a series of phone calls and meetings, the administration has sought to bring the Palestine Liberation Organization and Israel back to the negotiating table to conclude the talks on Palestinian self-rule that had shown such promise in recent weeks. After months of staying at arm's length from the talks. President Clinton moved swiftly last Friday to condemn the attack and announce that he had invited the Israeli and Palestinian negotiators, who had been meeting in Paris and Egypt, to meet here. The president also announced that Israel and the Palestinians had accepted his invitation. The Israelis, for their part have said they are ready to meet in Washington this week to continue negotiating the implementation of the declaration of principles signed by the two sides last September. But since Friday, the Palestinians have been debating when and under what circumstances they would send their negotiating team to Washington — a debate that involves the role of the U.S. government in the talks. Mr. Egan presently haa several photographs on At a news conference Monday, a group of top display at the Lincoln ArtisU' Guild Gallery in the Arab American leaders called for more active U.S. Burkholder Pn^ect and at the Noyes Art Oall«x involvement in the peace talks. both in the Haymarkot District in Lincoln,

March 4,1994
By Morris Maiine
Ups and downs A few months ago, the prime minister of Israel and the chairman of the Palestinian Liberation Organization shook hands on the lawn of the White House and put into motion an irreversible process toward peace. Yitzhak Rabin eloquently placed the motivation for peace on the historical record: He said, in essence, enough is enough, enough killing on both sides, and the reaction of millions of viewers was one of relief and hope. Those in favor of peace were relieved to hear that enemies were committed to a peace process. And they were hopeful that years and years of senseless killing would end. There also was hope that both leaders were strong enough to direct their respective peoples along the road to peace, strong enough to overcome the many obstacles in the path. Despite the strong commitment from both leaders, negotiations did not go smoothly. Israel found that Palestinian negotiators wanted to expand the scope of their control and the Palestinians found that Israel wanted to stick to the original concept to make certain that the nation's security was not compromised. . So, the negotiations plodded along, in fits and starts, with ups and downs. Unfortunately, with the assistance of a militant Jewish settler, one of the downs went way down. The mass murder committed by c. lunatic set off a whirlwind of anti-Israel protests, placing the negotiations in peril. The disruption of peace negotiations and the ultimate end to the peace process, is, after all, the goal of extremists on both sides. We can only hope that President Clinton's immediate response in calling for a quickening of negotiations in Washington will speed the process and change the realities on the ground. Once peace shows some benefits, then hostility can be eased. Meanwhile, we should not be surprised if more militants express themselves with guns rather than pens.

Holocaust program on television The Discovery (Jhannel will re-air a two-hour tribute to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum on Monday, April 18, 9 to 11 p.m. (ET/PT) and will encore from midnight to 2 a.m. (ET/PT). "The Holocaust: In Memory of Millions" will be hosted by veteran journalist Walter Cronkite. The program originally premiered on April 26, 1993, in conjunction with the day the museum opened to the public. In January, the Cable Academy honored Walter Cronkite with the CableACE Award for the best program interviewer for his contribution to the documentary. Established in 1980 by a unanimous Act of Congress, the national museum was charged with the creation of a living memorial to the millions of victims who perished at the hands of the Nazis. Located in Washington, D.C., the museum serves as the nation's preeminent educational institution on the events of the Holocaust. During the program, Mr. Cronkite will discuss the significance of the memorial and offer his personal reflections from his time as a World War II foreign correspondent. Survivors will be brought to the museum to share their memories and cameras will follow them as they visit the exhibits. Their accounts will be illustrated by artifacts, photos and film footage to communicate the human dimension of the Holocaust. The Holocaust: In Memory of Millions* is an original production of The Discovery Channel by Cronkite, Ward & Company.

Rabbi Joseph Friedman offers classes for Passover holiday Rabbi Joseph Friedman , of Beth Israel Synagogue will offer a series of classes in time for Passover. The classes will be held Sunday, March 6, 13 and 20, 10 to 11 a.m., at the Synagogue. They will also be held Tuesday, March 8 and 22 at the JCC at 7:30 p.m. The classes, covering the Hagaddah and the laws pertaining to the observation of Passover, are free and open to anyone in the Jewish community. "Those of us who think that the madness prior to Pesach is a 20th-century mishegas, hasn't read the Shulchan Aruch," said Rabbi Friedman. "The Shulchan Aruch, literally, 'set table', is the code of Jewish law to which we will refer in the study sessions during the month before Pesach. This 15th-century book urges members of the Jewish community to study the laws relating to this holiday so that we may familiarize ourselves with an event that occurs but once a year," he concluded. For information, call Beth Israel at 556-6288.

By Seth Bomstein, cfaairmaB 19B4 Kaliah Weekend lliis past weekend the Omaha community had the honor of Mstening and meeting with Dr. Yair Hirschfeld, our speaker for Kaliah Weekend. He was one of the sinall group that initiated the Oslo negotiations. During the weekend, he educated and " enlightened us with the story of how the Oslo talks came to be, his participation and his hopjBS for the future. For those of us who attended his lecture, it was fescinating to meet a person who, throu^ his gentle persuasion and knowledge, is helping to shape a new middle east. I would like to publicly thank and acknowledge the individuals and organizations that helped make the 1994 Kaliah Weekend a successAiI event This includes the members of the Jewish Cultural Arts Committee; Dr. Menachem Mor of Creighton University who introduced us to Dr. Hirschfeld; the rabbis of our synagogues, and the women's organizations of the synagogues who provided refreshments at each lecture. I encourage the Omaha Jewish community to participate in events like Kaliah Weekend. It is vital that our community take advantage of hearing speakers who can provide us with the opportunity for education and spirited debate.

Alperson holds national leadership post By Barbara Chandler, Federation public relations director From March 20-22, ten young adults from Omaha will be in Washington, D.C., for the 1994 UJA Young Leadership Conference. Two years ago, Joel Alperson attended his first Young Leadership Conference. Today, Mr. Alperson sits on the national UJA Young Leadership Cabinet and is actively involved in Joel Alperson promoting Jewish identity and Jewish continuity. The UJA Yo^g Leadership Program is open to men and women between the ages of 25 and 40. The Washington, D.C., Conference is sponsored by the UJA Young Leadership Cabinet. Among his many responsibilities as a cabinet member, Mr. Alperson will be arranging visits for Omaha's delegation with Nebraska's Congressmen and Senators during the Conference. "The 400 men and women who serve on the cabinet are some of the finest people I've ever met," remarked Mr. Alperson. "They are extremely involved in their Jewish communities, locally, nationally and internationally in terms of their personal time and financial commitment. The people I serve with have made a real difference in my life. If I had to give up every organization Fm involved with except for one, the UJA Young Leadership Cabinet would be the one." Mr. Alperson explained that members of the cabinet are nominated for the position by their local Federations. There are three criteria for serving on the cabinet First, members must be actively involved in their Jewish communities locally and nationally. Mr. Alperson is involved nationally through his many responsibilities as a cabinet member. He also recently served as Midwest Regional Governor for Sigma Alpha Mu Fraternity. In the Omaha Jewish community, he has been advisor for AZA #1 for 7 years and he serves on the Jewish Family Service board and heads their future planning committee. He volunteers for the UJA/Federation Campaign every year as a Pacesetter solicitor and he is a member of the Federation's Young Leadership Development steering committee. A second criterion for serving on the cabinet is to visit Israel regularly. 'You make a trip to Israel every couple of years to maintain an awareness of

the changing situations and the needs that exist there," noted Mr. Alperson. Last summer, he was the campaign chair responsible for solicitations on the UJA Singles Mission. Next fall, he will lead the Midwest delegates from a 12-state area on the UJA Chazak Mission. The third criterion for serving on the national Cabinet is to make a fmancial commitment to the annual UJA/Federation Campaign. "Jewish leadership is not defined by financial statement?. The only requirement is that at least 10 percent of one's income be donated to charities, the majority of which must go to the campaign," iiipaigii, he ne explained. As an individual .member' (^k^-dkderation's (^' ~ " King Solomon's Circle, Mr. Alj MHsonTgifb to the 1994 Campaign was $32,500. "I believe that in order to talk about commitment, you have to actively demonstrate commitment," said Mr. Alperson. "The Cabinet members are expected to set a standard in both time and financial commitment. This is a priority as people in a community tend to measure their actions by what they see others around them doing." Mr. Alperson discussed his views on the importance of Jewish continuity. "Judaism tells us we have an obligation to prevent wrongdoing. I try to imagine a world where everyone adopted that ethic. How long would dictators survive in such a world? "Judaism offers a humane approach to personal and family beliefs that should not be passed off as antiquated. Its guidelines apply very well to life today. It would be more than tragic if this ethic were lost." In conclusion, Mr. Alperson noted one other requiremer.t for serving on the Cabinet — to identify new cabinet members, "to replace yourself" He encourages other young Jewish adults in Omaha who are interested in becoming members of the UJA Young Leadership Cabinet to call him.

By Barbara Chandler, 'ederation public relations director The 1994 UJA Young Leadership Conference, "Challenges to a New Generation," will be held in Washington, D.C., from March 20-22. The conference is sponsored by the national UJA Young Leadership Cabinet. The young adults who will represent the Omaha Jewish community are Jeff Epstein, Ellie Dix, Melissa Epstein, Michael and Susan Norton, Susie Noddle, Michael Besser, Jim and Jordana Glazer and Joel Alperaon. Delegates will be addressed by high level U.S. and Israeli leaders. The conference will feature more than 60 forums, seminars and panels on a wide range of issues related to the interests and lifestyles of the participants. They will also join in a special program at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum and will attend ' gala entertainment and multi-media programs. Jeff Epstein, who is chairman of the Omaha delegation, went to the 1992 Conference where the speakers included Yitzhak Rabin, Moshe Arens, Barbara Boxer, Larry King and Jack Kemp. *I was very impressed with the calibre and diversity of the presenters. 1 was already planning to attend the 1994 Conference when I was asked to be the Omaha chairman." Discussing the recruitment of this year's delegation, he added, "Just talking about the quality of the programs and speakers, and about the opportunities to meet people from all over the country generated a great deal of interest. I wanted to be sure people knew that this wasn't just for singles." Mr. Epstein secured subsidies for the Omaha delegation from the Carl L. Frohm Memorial Foundation. Joel Alperson, who serves on the national UJA Young Leadership Cabinet, explained that the purpose of the conference is to raise the participants' consciousness about local, national and international issues important to Jews.

Emmy Gifford presents Wise Men of Chelm "The Wise Men of Chelm," a 8(iript based on Yiddish folk tales by Sandra' Fenichel Asher, will be performed at the Emmy Gifford Children's Theater March 11-27. Critics call it "a delightful yam spun with elements of parable and slapstick . . . The charm of "The Wise Men of Chelm" is that it can be enjoyed by young children as well as their parents and grandparents" and "a rewarding experience for the young at heart of all ages." "Young children love this goofy humor, so the tales of the Chelmites are wonderfully suited to children's theater." "When the earth was created and the time came to fill it with people, two angels were chosen and each was given a sack: one filled with wise souls and the other with foolish souls. The idea was to sprinkle wise and foolish souls evenly over the earth, but — oooops! The angel carrying the sack of foolish souls tripped over a mountain peak and the entire sack of fools spilled out! Nitwits, noodlebrains and puddingheads tumbled from the heavens! Schlemiels, schlemazels and dumkops of every kind landed in one spot — one tiny shtetl — one ridiculous speck .of a town made up entirely of fools — Chelm!" explains the storyteller. "Of course, the people of Chelm did not know they were fools . . . they simply believed that, for some peculiar reason, foolish things were always happening to them." The Chelmites, "like the Jewish people and their stories, no matter the odds, survive and press on," says Ms. Asher. "The Wise Men of Chelm" is directed by Dr. Jam6s Larson, artistic director of the Gifford. He teaches at the University of Nebraska at Omaha and has been published in national journals, including 'Drama Theatre Teacher' and 'American Theatre.' Rob Baker plays Pinchas, the rebbe. He has performed at the Gifford for six years, this season in "Stefanie Hero" and "Peter Pan." Gimpel, the student, is played by Jim Hoggatt, Who has many acting credits in Kansas City as well as Omaha.

He placed. third in the prestigious Coca-Cola Jr. NASTAR (NAtional STAndard Race)rankings program among all of Nebraska's 10-12-yeaT-oId racers for the 1992-93 ski season. He also earned a seaTravis Lewis son-best handicap of 38 while skiing at Copper Mountain, Colo. That score means he was just 38% behind NASTAR National Pacesetter and U.S. ski team member Erik Schlopy. Handicaps are given to all racers who take part in the public NASTAR races. They can earn gold, silver or bronze medals every day they race. "^ith 80 many people racing, it's quite an honor for these young skiers to be recognized as the best in their home states," said NASTAR Commissioner Bob Beattie. "Beyond that, Coca-Cola Jr. NASTAR gives them a chance to compare themselves to members of the U.S. Ski Team and others their age from all across the country," he added. At the end of each season, Coca-Cola Jr. NASTAR ranks the top recreational racers nationally and in all 50 states. Winners are listed on special rankings posters distributed nationwide.
