fore than 175 attended the groundbreaking ceremony Sunday at the Jewish Community campus for the Dan and Esther Gordman Center for Jewish Learning. In this view, the camera faces west from the southwest comer of the Jewish Community Center. Photo at bottonn of page shows children from the Priedel Jewish Academy participating in the program.

Gene and Charlotte Rich donate $54,000 to Dan and Esther Gordman Center for Jewish Learning j^F In 1947, Eugene and Charlotte Rich moved from Chicago with son, Lou, to start Business Printing Service at 14th and Chicago. In the 46 years that followed, while raising Lou, Joel, and Phil, they became active in the Jewish community as well as the secular community. Beth El, Hadassah, Variety Club, children's activities and a full work program occupied their time. Sons married and then there were seven grandsons, five of whom have, are, or will be attending the Friedel Jewish Academy. Gene and Charlotte were impressed with the education their grandsons were receiving, the progress they were making and expressed a desire to "do something' for Jewish education. They made a m^or decision - to give a sizeable gift, to the new location of the school in the soon-tobe built Dan and Esther Gordman Center for Jewish Learning on the JCC campus. Their gift of $54,000 was unsolicited, presented without fanfare or publicity. Now that a decision has been made for the use of the mfuor gift, Charlotte, speaking for her late husband and herself, said, "We were and I am, strong believers in Jewish values. Gene and I were very proud and pleased to know the school's 'Commons Room' will bear our name. Hopefully, it will be a true center of activities and programs, a place where the spirit and the knowledge of the children will be enhanced. We are very fortunate to have our children wanting their children to be educated at the Friedel academy. They do a marvelous job!"

"Another dream comes true"

Gene and Charlotte Rich The "Eugene and Charlotte Rich Commons Room,' the core room of the Friedel Academy, will be used for a variety of programs, celebrations, lunch and snack periods, and possibly other activities once it is completed for the 1995-96 school term.

By Morris Maline With the words," Another dream comes true," Jerry Slusky, president of the Jewish Federation of Omaha, started the groundbreaking program Sunday at the Jewish community's growing campus of buildings. Mr. Slusky introduced the speakers to an estimated crowd of 175 in a picture-perfect afternoon of pleasant temperature and low humidity. Participating in the program were: Jerry Gordman, representing the Gordman family and mEgor donors to the new Center; Carl Riekes, representing key supporters of the Nebraska Jewish Historical Society Museum and the Henry and Dorothy C. Riekes Museum Maintenance Endowment. Also, Mike Katzman, chairman of the Friedel Jewish Academy, the prime tenant of the new building; Louise Abrahamson, president of the Nebraska Jewish Historical Society; Steve Riekes, representing the Bureau of Jewish Education; Marty Shukert, who oversaw the architectural components, and Mary Fellman, who struggled and persevered for eight years to effect the construction of the new building. Mr. Slusky also credited the Frohm Foundation , as well as Gene and Charlotte Rich and the Herbert Goldsten Foundation with being key participants in furthering the Jewish Federation's commitment to Jewish education and Jewish continuity in the community.

No offices By Hugh Orgel TEL AVIV (JTA) — The Foreign Ministry has denied reports that any foreign country has opened any diplomatic offices anywhere in the autonomous Palestinian areas. The claim follows reports this week from Europe that Germany had opened an office in Jericho to monitor use of money it has granted to the autonomous areas and that Holland and Greece were to follow. In a statement issued Thursday, the Foreign Ministry said: "In light of recent — inaccurate — publication on the inauguration of a German office for coordinating and directing technical assistance for the autonomous areas, the spokesman of the Foreign Ministry wishes to clarify that no country has opened, or is set to open, a diplomatic representation in Jericho or Gaza."

Sparks from The Word By Rabbi Myer S. Kripke

Parashat Ki Teze The Suffering Servant Those ancient liturgists who chose our Haftarot were nothing short of brilliant in designating seven passages of comfort for the weeks preceding Rosh haShanah. The seven follow Tisha B'Av and the terrible indictment of Judah in the Haflarah preceding it. Isfuah, Ch. 1, is the indictment. And the seven passages of consolation and promise are chosen from Chapters 40 through 63 of Isaiah. These seven.are from what modern scholars almost everyone - call Second Isaiah (and some scholars consider Chapter 55 'till the end of the book to be Third Isaiah). Within Second Isaiah, perceptive students have identified four poems that are not quite at home in their context. These are sometimes called "The Servant Songs," because they have a common thence of a Servant of the Lord-but problems and TIFERETH ISRAEL difficulties abound. Who wrote them?

Harry Lobell read a letter from a friend telling of his heart attacks and recalling his Navy service in WWII. . Art touched upon a new twist a recent robbery involving a bronzed man dressed like a woman. He also predicted there would be a "big showdown" in the year 2000 with the likes of Louis Farrakhan now stirring up racial enmity. He said the Israeli's stock market reflects the negative reaction to the Israel peace treaty. Art mentioned that his son, Larry, in official capacity, is in central Mexico where the people can't read or write, and vote by colors. He also reminded us that we must continue to support Israel with the U^A. . Dave Dvorkin believes that Israel should do more to solve its own problems.

Hate on Trial:

A riveting story of a brutal hate crime By Aiwstasia Steinberg JEWISH BUULETIN OF NORTHERN CAUFORNIA She called the police, reportiag the "pop" of gunshots. When they responded, they found a young Ethiopian man, Mulugeta Seraw, with his skull bashed in. The "pops" were not shots fired — they were the sounds of blows to the young man's head by a baseball bat. ' Or, as described by the skinheads involved, it was "like taking a bag of chips and crunching them up when they're still crisp in the bag." In "Hate On Trial," Morris Dees tells the riveting story of the civil case brought jointly by Dees' Southern Poverty Law Center and the AntiDefamation League against White Aryan Resistance founder Tom Metzger. The groups held Metzger accountable for a murder committpd by skinhead accomplices in an adjacent state. Two theories of liability were established. One, that Metzger set the stage for murder by intentionally causing the unlawful action that resulted in Seraw's death. Two, that a civil conspiracy existed in which Metzger and his accomplices "agreed upon a common objective that clearly contemplated injury to others," using violent means to pursue white supremacist goals. In his book. Dees proves that Metzger actively recruited, trained and dispatched skinheads to Oregon for the express purpose of organizing Portland's ''East Side White Pride" gang to start a race war by murdering "mud people" — the group's designation for all "non-Aryans." The account is especially harrowing because the

murderers had Bay Area connections. The agent trained by Metzger was David Mazzella, who was wanted on an outstanding warrant for an assault committed in California. , ' Mazzella first became active in the White Student Union in Sacramento. Skinheads there put him in contact with others in San Jose, who took him to his first Klan rally. Mazzella went up and down the Peninsula, distributing hate literature and committing a series of crimes. And then, in San Francisco, he met his hero, Tom Metzger. Mazzella eventually left the movement. But after Seraw's death, he contacted the ADL, which then called Dees. Mazzella was prepared to testify that Metzger sent him to Portland and "instructed him to use random violence against blacks and Jews." And so begins the trial, with Metzger asserting constitutional protections of his hate speech. Dees tells how Metzger cannot repress his blatant racism, even during the trial itself In one instance, Metzger, upon hearing the name of the judge to whom the case will be assigned, objects on the basis that the judge's name "sounds Jewish." As a result, the matter is transferred to another courtroom where, to Metzger's chagrin, the presiding judge is African American. If nothing else, Metzger proves himself to be a charismatic, if not clever, adversary. Dees weaves a fascinating story, providing an inside glimpse into the murky world of White Aryan Resistance and his battle against a man who embodies pure hatred. • -. The trial ends with the verdict that Metzger has "crossed the line of First Amendment protection." He has a "right to hate" but not to hurt. He is bankrupted, but to this day he continues to broadWe Bring the Pony to Youl Having a Pafty?

cast and publish his hate materials from his base in Fallbrook, in northern San Diego County. Both the ADL and Southern Poverty Law Center are tracking down his funds, seeking to provide financial compensation to Mulugeta Seraw's fami-, ly, who reside in the East Bay. I Sadly, nothing can ever compensate the loss of a father, son and friend — and the loss of an American dream. ^ Avoiding dry legal terminology. Dees tells the story of the Seraw murder, from crime to courtroom maneuvering, in graphic, journalistic language. The dramatic courtroom scenes make for fascinating reading, revealing Metzger's clever and often dangerous actions, as well as the strategies undertaken by those who took him on in their battle against hate crimes. "Hate On Trial" by Morris Dees (280 pages, Villard/Random House, $21). Anastasia Steinberg is regional director of the Central Pacific Region of the AntiDefamation League of B'nai B'rith in San Francisco, and a former hate crimes prosecutor with the District Attorney's office in Santa Clara County.

Panel discussion The community has been invited to join with Beth El Synagogue and' Temple Israel to spend an evening studying and worshipping together to usher in the High Holy Days. On Aug.7 at 9:30 p.m.at Beth El Synagogue, a panel of mental health professionals from both congregations will reflect on issues of guilt and forgiveness as raised in the movie. The Quarrel. Following the program and a dessert reception, th^ two congregations will join together in worship at• Selihot services. I The Quarrel, based on a short story by the Yiddish writer, Chaim Grade, is about the chance meeting in Montreal in 1948 of two best friends, each of whom thought that the other had died in the Holocaust. It is a film about friendship, reconciliation, compromise, recrimination, healing and forgiveness. The panel will reflect on these issues as illustrated in excerpts from the movie. Panelists include psychologist, Sandy Kutler; child psychiatrist, Dr. Thomas Jaeger, and clinical psychologists, Dr. Steven Skulsky and Dr. Aviva Shukert.

"What is Reconstructionism Anyway?' By Rabbi Ruth Ehrenstein B'nai Israel This is one of the questions I am often asked when I am introduced as a Reconstructionist rabbi. Although manypeople have, at least, heard of Reconstructionism, they don't have a clear idea of what defines the fourth major branch of American Judaism. If I had to give a brief answer, I might say that Reconstructionism focusRabbi Ehrenstein es on aspects of our tradition as building blocks for creating a modern Judaism which can engage and sustain us today. To put it another, way, for Reconstructionists, tradition has a voice, but not a veto. If I wished to give a clearer sense of the unique perspectives of Reconstructionism, I might discuss our views of God, or the importance of gender equality, or the role of the rabbi in Reconstructionist congregations, or a variety of other topics. 1 plan to elaborate on these and other subjects at my forum on Reconstructionism at the J.C.C. on jajajmajBJSjajaJELiciJBJajajBJBJciJcijgjaB

Julie Katelman hugs Mae Ostrow. In back is Shana Novak

Making Time For Others By Shana Novak, Jewish Press intern School time is coming up fast. While most students hurry to the store for that perfect three ring binder or go shopping for that perfect back-toschool outfit, 13-year-old Julie Katehnan has added the Rose Blumkin Jewish Home to her list of things to do, She made a point of visiting her 'adoptive' grandparent, Mae Ostrow, before starting eighth grade at Westside Middle School. Julie met Mrs. Ostrow several weeks ago during a four-week volunteer session with the Youth Volunteer Corps along with seven other kids. Julie also helped other residents exercise, socialize, and get around. At the end of her four week session, Julie and her friends put on a talent show for their 'adoptive' grandparents and other residents. They performed two dances and Julie sang a song, "The Rose." This was the perfect end to a great month and a nice treat for the resid' .its. Being able to help Blumkin Home residents was a treat for Julie as well. " I enjoyed the good experience of making the residents happy." Ji ,e said. "It kept me busy and helped the older people a lot." Summer is over for the most part now and it's time for Julie to go back to school. But not without some wonderful m nories of the mitzvah she did. " When I said good bye to the residents, they didn't want me to leave!" Julie said. But she knew it was time to open those books and study. Julie is the daughter of a proud father, John, and step mother, Lynn Katelman.

Wednesday, Aug. 24. In this column, however, I would like to give you a taste of my personal approach to Reconstructionism. What I hke about Reconstructionism is the notion that Judaism does no|t have to be peripheral to our everyday lives. Judaism can sustain us in the present, while connecting us to our past. Reconstructionists eu-e encouraged to leam and to explore how Jewish practice can fit into modern lives. For Reconstructionists, however, Judaism is more than a set of laws.traditions , and religious practices. From our perspective, it is the continuously evolving religious civilization of the Jewish people . We believe that Judaism has always changed to meet new historical and cultural conditions, and that it must continue to do so to remain vital. Each of us can play a role in that continuing evolution. We do this as Reconstructionists by constantly asking not simply what the tradition tells us to do, but if, why and how we should follow a particular observance. Rather than promoting laxity as some might suspect, Reconstructionism promotes a maximal approach to Jewish observance, but from an informed perspective. When we find that a particular practice needs to be discarded or changed, we do not shrink from creating new ways of living Jewishly. In this way, we seek to be deeply engaged as Jews. One of the best known examples of Reconstructionists' willingness to transform the tradition is the Bat Mitzvah, established seventy years ago by Rabbi Mordecai Kaplan, the founder of the Reconstructionist movement. Rabbi Kaplan felt the celebration of a child's coming of age in the Jewish community should not be restricted solely to boys, and so his daughter became the first Bat Mitzvah, establishing a practice which has become nearly universal in the American Jewish community. "Yet, if we assume the freedom to reconstruct Judaism, we must also take seriously the responsibility to maintain its core values . How far can we bend the tradition before we lose all ties to it? This is a key question with which we can wrestle together.

rA MISSIO^'^^

My trip to Israel By Zach Perelman

This 8summer I went to Israel with my mother. I went on the Family Mission so I had friends, also. It was fantastic! I had a great time and I learned a lot. We went to Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and Tiberias. We went to many sights such as: the Western Wall, the Old City, Jaffa, Ben Yehuda, Dead Sea, Masada, the Israeli Air Force Base, etc. We had a great guide named Gershon. He was fun, full of facts, and very neat. We had an Israeli native named Daliah travel with us during the mission. We met new people, saw historical sights and places, ate in a Bedouin tent, and rode camels. We also went on a scavenger hunt in the Old City and went to museums. We had terrific speakers! Especially what I learned is how important Israel really is. I had a super time!

BBYO enjoys successful rush season By Shana Novak, Jewish Press intern

The B'nai B'rith Youth Organization had its most ^successful rush season in five years. In 1993 and 1994, over 160 members belonged. In addition, for the 1995 year, 40 new Jewish teens have joined in the fun of BBYO. .All teens are divided into chapters by choice: Boys' and girls' chapters A2iA or Chaim Weizmann for the boys and Ediar or MZ Yoshanah for the girls. All four groups have different, wonderful qualities that are sure to please all. From the looks of the large new membership listings, BBYO HAS pleased them all!! If BBYO sounds like fun to you and you are currently a freshman, sophomore, junior, or senior in high school, give Alon More a call at 334-8200 ext. 235. If you're already a member, don't forget meetings are every Tuesday at six.

Bert's Eye View

By Bert Lewis

' One of the things New York is famous for is the great variety of every kind of food anybody ever thought of eating - such a variety that I would venture to say this: if it's edible, you can find it someplace in the city. There can't be any ethnic group not already represented in specialty markets and/or restaurants, whether oriental, mid eastern or American IndiSn. I guess that's why it funny to see,a lot of fuss made recently on one of th,e morning news television programs on the subject of barbecue, the fact that this kind of cooking seems uniquely American - the part that tickled me was the biggest fiiss seemed to be made over Kansas City Barbecue. They had some of that city's most famous chefs of that style of grilling, complete with all the paraphernalia necessary, including a huge and various woods to impart special flavor. They were outdoors, on the sidewalk in the middle of Manhattan, making such a smoke and commotion I expected a party of Indians to come around 64th street any minute! But that wasn't what I found amusing. It just seemed to me that within a few steps of anyplace in the city, a person could buy and eat raw fish delicacies or fiery hot curries or, for that matter, kasha and varnishkehs. But here they were, finding it necessary to bring in folks from Kansas City to show them how to do "real" barbecue. I did notice they also had specialists in that kind of cooking from some eastern locations, but the host of the show seemed prejudiced (openly) to the KC. samples. Actually, I can't remember seeing so much fressing on television since the Waltons gathered around their table! The entire subject isn't of very great importance noticed for many years how seriously New Yorlcers take themselves when it comes to sophistication. They tend to look down their noses at many things we in the midwest consider acceptable. But when it comes to something like barbecue, they appear to be willing to admit there are places in these United States where a person can find "the best whatever'....besides NYC. Mind you, I'm not New York bashing. I certainly know all the wonderful stuff available there, whether to eat or wear or use for entertainment. It's a matter of attitude, many of them believing there's only one place where life is worth living. So now we know the truth. They may think their city is the only one worth talking about, but not when it comes to barbecue. I'm glad we understand each other.

Jewish PreM

Aufuat 19,1994

50th anniversary celebration The American Jewish Press Association' (seventh in a series) By Zion Leuchter obody will have a greater role than the Jewish press in helping to determine the nature of Jewish continuity in North America. There are many obvious roles and responsibilities for Anglo-Jewish newspapers: (1) The dissemination of news of importance to Jews; (2) assisting in what's loosely defined as Jewish education; (3) serving as a forum, a marketplace of Ideas, offering themselves as the vehicle for public discussion and 'dissent. To function effectively, however, the Jewish press niiist be read. That may seem a ridiculously elenieritary concept, but the fact is that fewer than 50 percent of America's Jews read the newspaper of Jewish content on any regular basis (the larger the city, the smaller the percentage of Jewish press readership). in every community the goal should be: a Jewish newspaper in every Jewish family. To achieve that goal is the twin responsibility of Jewish community leaders and the newspaper staff itself, regardless of whether the newspaper is federation-owned or privately owned. In large and upper-middle size cities, the Jewish newspaper should be self-supporting; in lower middle-size and small communities, the Jewish newspaper may need communal assistance. Regardless of the nature of its ownership, however, it must be compelling. It must have the courage to be iconoclastic, to challenge the various Jewish establishments, but at the same time, to challenge responsibility. And community leaders lay, professional and rabbinic - must be willing to accept the newspaper's role. Its staff must have a sense of misBion. Jewish families must want to read it. They must be eager for it to arrive, to feel that their week isn't complete without it. Only then can it fulfill its responsibilities. Only then can it stimulate, educate and inspire.
