HIAS, Chicago Federation resettle Bosnians By EHzabeth Bernstein JUF News HICAGO (JTA) — Reacting to the protracted oodshed in the former Yugoslavia, the New Yorkased Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society and the ewish Federation of Metropolitan Chicago have ttablished a program to resettle Bosnian Muslim »fugees in Chicago. Two of the Chicago federation's afTlliated agenes, the Jewish Family and Community Service nd Mt. Sinai Hospital Medical Center, are also aying key roles in the resettlement program. "Because both HIAS and the federation have a Ing history of involvement in refugee resettlement nd strong networks of local resettlement agencies, •e felt it incumbent upon us to take a l6ad in reseting these victims of this tragic war," said Edward 'ox, president of the Chicago federation. The federation has the prime contract with the late of Illinois to administer the state's program to
resettle refugees coming to Illinois. During the past decades, the federation has resettled tens of thousands of Jewish and non-Jewish newcomers from Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe, Africa and the Middle East, as well as 20,000 Jews from the former Soviet Union. Now, the new program will make the Chicago Jewish community the only one in the country that has organized resettlement efforts for a significant number of refugees from the war-torn former Yugoslavia. Chicago is a natural location for the new program, since the city has the largest Bosnian community in the country. To date, the HfAS=federation program has resettled 65 Bosnian refugees out of a total of 700 that will be brought to Chicago by the summer. An additional 150 refugees are scheduled to be resettled here in the near future.

'The Hunt for Adolf Elchmann' On May 11, 1960, at 8:05 p.m., a middle-aged man stepped off a bus in suburban Buenos Aires, was grabbed by the neck and bundled into a waiting car that took off and disappeared into the night. Twelve days later he surfaced — thousands of miles away in Israel — and made headlines that stunned the world. The man's name was Adolf Eichmann, the infambus Nazi war criminal known as the "Architect of the Final Solution," and his capture by Israeli intelligence agents marked the end of an exhaustive, 15year, worldwide manhunt unlike any this century had seen. Nearly 35 years later, top secret details of the hunt, kidnapping, and trial of Eichmann are revealed for the first time in The Hunt for Adolf Eichmann, a new documentary produced by Ron Frank and Dan Setton, premiering Friday, April 8, from 8 to 10 p.m., as part of Time Machine with Jack Perkins" on the A&E television network. The ^ program is narrated by actor Gregory Peck. iA Shot on location in Austria, Germany, Italy, Argentina, England and Israel. The documentary uses a mixture of techniques and dramatic reenactments to retrace the circuitous route Eichmann took following his escape from Germany after World War II and to bring to life the events surrounding his remarkable capture in Buenos Aires 15 years later. The program draws on a wealth of material from top secret Israeli intelligence files made available exclusively to the producers, including full transcripts of his interrogations by agents in Argentina, and features the first-hand accounts of intelligence agents and government officials who planned and executed the covert "Operation Eichmann." Among the startling facts revealed in the program are: How Eichmann was captured by the Americans following the war but escaped from a POW camp; how an organization with ties to the Vatican helped him escape to South America; how a blind Holocaust survivor put the Mossad on his trail; how his carefully planned kidnapping was nearly bungled; how Eichmann, drugged and disguised in an El Al crew uniform, was smuggled out of Buenos Aires on a diplomatic plane; how the Mossad attempted to capture his colleague, Josef Mengele, The Angel of Death' from Auschwitz; how Eichmann was put to death, the only time in Israel's history that the death penalty has been carrii'd out.

Deaths
By Bemie Mosow Well, she did it again! Faye Unger was chairman of another successful Hadassah H.M.O. drive, culminating with a scrumptious dinner. She is known in Lincoln for her efforts in behalf of this particular segment of Hadassah's many good works. This was the eighth such event she has chaired and, as usual, she met the quota. That's quite a record. Most of the activity in town at the moment I seems to involve getting ready for Pesach. And what a busy time it is. I can remember all the cleaning, planning and preparation that' goes on when our children were still living at home. Now, however, our activity centers around what to pack for the trip to which one of our children is having the Seder which we will attend. It's fun to see what they do at their homes that they remember "from home." They have all purchased the same Hagaddahs that we used, they make the same foods (from the cookbook I made for them), bake the same cakes, make sure the grandchildren are dressed in their Pesach finery and know the Four Questions, and, most of all, that Grandpa has the Afikomen prizes. ' Though not directly involved in all the preparations for their Seders, Grandma and Grandpa still have some influence on the occasion.

By Moms Maline A Passover delicacy Last week's special issue on the Rose Blumkin Jewish Home was quite a treat. What may not be evident to the casual reader was the amount of time, effort and work that went into the gathering of material, the writing of stories, .the placement of photos and the lajang out of the paper. This was truly a remarkable issue, one of the best that the Jewish Press has ever accomplished and now we want to tell you the story behind the story. The issue was put together by Silvia Roffman and Bert Lewis, two volunteers with a long history of service to the Omaha Jewish community. Both have served on the Board of Directors of the Jewish Press; Mrs. Roffman at one time was president. At present, both serve on the Board of Directors of the Bureau for the Aging, and both have or had relatives residing in the Home. At my invitation, the dynamic duo realized what up to now had been an impossible dream. They told the story of the Rose Blumkin Jewish Home as only dedicated volunteers could do. For an editor like myself, this was a noble experiment with a most happy ending. Thank you Silvia and Bert!
Hunt for Eichmann ^mterviewed in "The Hunt for Adolf Eichmann" are author and Nobel Prize laureate Elie Wiesel, who was an eyewitness to Eichmann's supervision of the deportation of Jews from Wiesel's hometown and a journalist at Eichmann's trial; Isser Harel, the legendary former head of the Mossad, the Israeli intelligence organization, who personally supervised the - capture; Manos Diamant, an intelligence agent of the Jewish underground army known as the Haganah, then called Palestine, who tells how he infiltrated the households of Eichmann's wife and mistress; and former Massad agent Zvi Aharoni, who speaks publicly for the first time about his identification and interrogation of Eichmann in Argentina. During the Third Reich, Adolf Eichmann served as a "Jewish specialist" to Adolf Hitler. At the Wannsee Conference held on Jan. 20, 1942, Eichmann presented his plan to solve "the Jewish problem": the deportation of all Jews to concentration camps. By using the railroads, he was able to turn the transfer of millions of Jews into a profitable commercial enterprise. Disguised as resettlements, the 184 camps were secretly designed to bring about Hitler's terrible "Final Solution," which resulted in the systematic murder of six million Jews, onethird of all the Jews in the world. "The Hunt for Adolf Eichmann" chronicles his childhood and growth into Hitler's ally, his notorious war record, his escape from Germany and "hiding out" in northern Germany and Austria, and his new life in Argentina, where the search by the Mossad intensified and resulted in a daring abduction. The covert effort that resulted in the capture of Adolf Eichmann was a landmark in the annals of intelligence and established the Mossad as one of the world's leading intelligence agencies. By bringing this notorious criminal to justice, the Mossad also helped avenge one of the greatest, and most horrible crimes, ever committed against humanity. "The Hunt for Adolf Eichmann" was produced by SET Productions for A&E. Additional funding was provided by The Bonnet Foundation, the Israel Film Center, and Jerusalem Capital Studios.

Bert's Eye View By Bert Lewis
MISSlOti' "Come meet Alex" By Barbara Chandler Federation public relations director Alex Fleischer, the herfd guide for the SHALOM MISSION, Omaha's 1994 community mission, is coming from Israel on April 11 and 12. He will talk with mission leadership and interested participants about the mission itinerary and answer any questions people may have about Israel, including peace, security, technology and politics. Omaha is one of several U.S. cities he will be visiting for the UJA Missions Program. The SHALOM MISSION is scheduled for Oct. 212. Harriet and Jerry Slusky, chairmen for the mission, announced that a dessert reception with Alex will be held on Monday evening, April 11, and anyone in the community interested in going to Israel is invited to attend. There is no charge and reservations can be made by calling Jan Perelman at the Federation office, 334-8200. Prior to becoming a guide, Alex studied art in London and began a photography career which he continues today. When he returned to Israel in 1970, traveling became a way of life for him, so becoming a guide was a natural continuation of that lifestyle. Alex explained that Israeli guides are highly trained professionals. They attend a two-year university course which is vgry intensive and difficult. Guides also must be multilingual. Alex speaks six languages. Commenting on his upcoming visit to Omaha, Alex said he welcomes questions about the mood in Israel today and security issues as well as the specifics of the SHALOM MISSION. Mr. and Mrs. Slusky provided a preview of the mission itinerary. "The itinerary for this mission is special," explained Mrs. Slusky. "We have designed it to be

Alex Fleischer, head guide for October community mission. exciting for both Hrst- and second-time participants. Unlike any previous mission, we will begin in Eilat and will travel the country northward, enjoying accommodations at 5-star hotels and a kibbutz guest house. We will stand at the borders of Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Lebanon and Jordan — from the Negev in the south to the Golan Heights in the north. We will cruise the Red Sea out of Eilat, tour mystical Safed and participate in a hands-on archaeological dig." Mr. Slusky added that the peace process is directly tied into the mission itinerary. "This SHALOM MISSION will focus on the peace process and its effects on Israel. We will see for ourselves what PEACE will mean for Israel. We will meet with high-level Likud and Labor party representatives and we will personally examine security issues at each of Israel's borders. "We have tremendous early interest in this mission which will be limited to about 60 Omahans. We urge everyone who is interested to attend the dessert reception, meet Alex, get all your questions answered and consider joining us in October in Israel."
Clinton reiterates position on united Jerusalem
By Deborah Kalb WASHINGTON(JTA) In a White House meeting with a group of Jewish leaders this week, President Clinton reaffirmed his 1992 campaign statement that he believed a united Jerusalem is the
Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there*'
capital of Israel, according to a Leading Jewish official. Clinton met with more than 50 members of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations to discuss the Middle East peace
process ani4 other issues. Lester Pollack, the chairman of the Jewish umbrella group, told reporters after the meeting that Clinton had been "unequivocal" in reaffirming his views on Jerusalem, originally
stated to the group during his 1992 presidential campaign. The issue of Jerusalem has come to the fore in recent weeks with the passage of a U.N. resolution condemning the Hebron killings.,
I admitted a long time ago I'm not a dedicated TV person, but I also must admit there is one kind of program ni always watch ... the cooking .shows. You've no doubt seen the ones I mean — there are all kinds, from French or Italian to the oriental cooks. They always hold my attention, although I'm not sure why. I know 1 often pick up a good hint on how to do this or that... I also get a special kick out of the guy who does only chocolate rc:ipes. He so enjoys all that rich, "illegal" sweet stuff, I can almost taste it all through the tube! The one that demonstrates how to prepare everything with a food processor has taught me so many tricks too, as has the goof who shows the magic of microwave. To tell you the truth, I will watch any one of them at any given time. But some of them have little idiosyncrasies that drive me nuts. For instance, one of the men never scrapes out a bowl very thoroughly, like you and I do. I always feel he's left half Uie recipe in the mixing bowl. And there's the one who always mixes everything with his hands. Yeah, yeah, I know. WE all do some of that, but he carries it too far. And some of them use language I'd like to correct — the other day I heard one of them say "smooth it out so it won't look icky." Icky. I'm not kidding, he actually said icky! But for the most part, no matter how long you've been cooking, you can learn something when you watch those shows. And because there must be many others who like them, there are some shows and lessons' available on video. Not cheap, but no doubt worthwhile. Fve personally harbored an idea for years concerning an ethnic cooking show. You can guess, right? Sure. Why not a program featuring Jewish cooking? What a great opportunity to demonstrate something that's hard to describe, like the steps in making kasha. I've tried to tell somebody how to do that and usually get the blankest look of total confusion. It would also be easier to explain what is meant by "add matzo meal until it feels right' if you could aim a camera on the raw fish mixture. Or show what is meant by "roll out the dough and sprinkle with whatever to within an inch of the edge." The words don't mean a lot, but watching somebody do it makes it clear. Some years ago, my friend, the rebbetsen, and I did a demonstration for a group on some Passover recipes. If memory serves, Susie did charoses arid I did matzo balls . . . and it was really fun, in addition to being instructive. At the time, I thought a Jewish cooking show was a good idea and I still do. Well, since I'm nearly finished with a big project, I'll soon be looking for something to do. Let's see now, how do you think something like this sounds? Vyber — kum koch mitt meer. Not good? Well, by the time this idea turns into reality, III have a better name, I promise.

A special Passover message
1
our two peoples, came to bury our common father, Abraham. "The Tomb had the possibility of becoming a symbol of peace and coexistence — now that hope is gone. The hope of Pesach is not gone — it awaits us, as a time to resolve to truly extend the sharing of bread, to truly reachout our hands in peace. The murderer's purpose was to kill peace itself Though the act was that most probably of a lone gunman, he was the product of a movement. His violent act came directly out of a context that preaches dehumanization and violence. We, in the Jewish community, must steadfastly condemn all statements within our own community that dehumanize Palestinians, all calls for violence based on religious beliefs, and all statements that brand Jewish supporters of the peace process traitors. These forms of rhetoric give sanction to violence. We must express the hope of Passover. Religious people around the world must join together to proclaim a religion of humanity dedicated to the preservation and fulfillment of life. Killing in the name of Grod is the greatest desecration of God's name. The hope of Passover is yachatz — bonds of sharing. The purim massacre must be transformed by the hope of Passover. May the hope expressed in these lyrics written by my friend Rabbi Leila Gai Bemer be realized this Passover. 0 Isaac, can we live free at last?
0 Ishamel, with justice in the land? We are brothers, can we live in peace again? O Abraham, father,' can we heal your broken heart? Shalom aleichem, aleikum salaam, shalom Salaam aleikum shalom b'shalom Sherry
Simcha Dinitz arraigned on fraud charges
ly Dvorah Getzler JERUSALE(JTA) — Simcha Dinitz has been arraigned on charges of misappropriating some $32,000 from the Jewish Agency. Dinitz, who temporarily stepped down as chairman of the
agency in February, appeared in court and pleaded not guilty to the charges against him. The court then granted his request that the proceedings be postponed until July. Dinitz had been charged with fraud and
abuse of public trust for the alleged misuse of credit cards issued by the Jewish Agency. Dinitz has admitted making personal purchases on the cards and not repaying $13,793 worth of charges until the bills were brought to

Medical ethicist to speak at aging forum, April 13
By Rabbi Sherry Shulewitz As I write these words, all the preparations I have to do before the holiday of Pesach begins to loom ahead of me. Cupboards to clean, special foods to purchase, cherished heirlooms to unwrap and polish my grandmother's candlesticks and our favorite indispensable, all-purpose knife brought over from Europe. Usually this time of preparation, the four weeks between Purim and Pesach, is one of happy expectancy. But this year a pall has fallen over my usually lighthearted sense of urgency to be ready to begin the seder. Our seder begins with the Aramaic injunction: Lechma onya di achelu . . .This ia the bread of affliction, the poor bread, which our ancestors ate in the land of Egypt. Let all who are hungry come and eat. Let all who are in want share the hope of Passover... The hope of Passover begins with yachatz, with sharing. We break the middle matzah, hiding one half as the afikomen. When we share the afikomen at the end of our seder, we create a bond of fellowship for the sake of our redemption. We join with the deliverance from bondage of people everywhere. The hope of Passover — that we can remember our own experiences as slaves and reach out to help others find their place in the world. The hope of Passover is to reach out with bread and compassion, not with a machine gun as Barach Goldstein did. Purim, the day of the massacre, has been tarnished by Goldstein's act. The Tomb of our Ancestors (Ma'arat haMachpelah — burial site of Abraham and Sara, Isaac and Rebecca, Jackob and Leah) has been perverted into a symbol of death and despair. It is particularly tragic that this murder occurred at the one place in the world where there is both a mosque and a synagogue, the one place that is symbolic of both of our peoples, the place where Isaac and Ishmael, the progenitors of

Temple Israel to host 'Hunger Banquet' By Vic Gutman, niianquet' chairmsui We have all seen the faces of hunger. They can e seen on the evening news virtually every day. famine in ^rica and Asia, war in eastern Europe, Smaciated children too weak to move or even cry. Hunger also lurks close to home in the faces of iroung and old and in the homeless who wander the streets. Temple Israel will host a Hunger Banquet Sunday, April 10, 5 to 7 p.m., in the social hall of the Temple, 7023 Cass St. Designed to be both a fund-raiser and consciousness raiser, only a few people will leave this banquet with satisfied stomachs. Though most will receive little to eat, all will go away nourished with a new understanding about the problem of hunger around the world and in our own community. The banquet is a special meal that dramatically portrays the differences both in diet and access to resources between people in high, middle and low income countries. At the beginning of the banquet, guests are randomly selected to represent a particular income group. Roughly 60% of the world's population live in countries where the average income is less than $545 a year. Hunger and despeur can even be found in the wealthiest of countries like the United States. In Douglas County alone, 19,000 children live below the poverty line. In addition, 24% of Nebraska's elderly persons 75 and older have incomes below the poverty level. Sixty percent of people attending the banquet will be given only rice jnd water to eat and will sit on the floor or on chairs and will eat with basic utensils. Approximately 25% of the world's population live in middle income countries where the per capita income lies between $545 and $6,000. Twenty-five
percent attending the banquet will be given rice and lentils to eat. They will sit on chairs and be given eating utensils appropriate to the middleincome group. Fifteen percent of the world's population are privileged ,and eat a nutritious daily diet. Therefore, 15% attending will be fed a sumptuous turkey dinner catered by Spirit World. They will sit at linen-covered banquet tables and enjoy a variety of liquid refreshments. The banquet is being organized by the Temple's Social Action Committee, which hopes to jneke it an annual event. Besides dinner, the banquet will also feature world music from the International Students Organization of the University of Nebraska at Omaha and a skit presented by 5th and 6th graders of the Temple Religious School. Community organizations that work with hunger and the homeless in the Omaha metropolitan area have been invited to set up informational tables at the event.. "The banquet is meant to be a theatrical experience in which everyone attending participates," according to Barry Siff, chairman of the Social Action Committee. "We have purposely set ticket prices very low to encourage families and children to share this experience together." Tickets are $25 for couples, $15 for individuals, $5 for students of all ages and seniors 60 and older, and free for children under age five. Proceeds will benefit The Food Bank, Oxfam International, a world-wide hunger relief organization and Mazon, "a Jewish Response to Hunger," that operates nationwide. Tickets may be purchased by calling Temple Israel at 556-6536.
