By Morris Maline The Hillel director at the University of Iowa plans to establish links with student organizations in Nebraska and other locations within reach of Iowa City. ' Elliot Zashin, director, Aliber/Hillel Jewish Student Center, was in Omaha last week to meet with parents and community leaders to discuss support for such expansion. In an interview, he told the Jewish Press that the linkage may make it possible for a regional Shabbaton to be held in the Spring for students from Iowa, Nebraska and Western Illinois. Dr. Zashin, earned a PhD in political science at the University of California at Berkeley, and taught at the college level for 14 years before assuming the Hillel directorship in August. He said that previously, Hillel tended to focus on those students who sought out affiliation and demonstrated a willingness to participate in activities. Now, he said, the emphasis is on finding students who do not have a strong interest in working within an institutionalized framework for Jewish relationships. Dr. Zashin said that by establishing Unks with student organizations and with the support of parents and community leaders, he will be able to help stimulate creativity and spur small groups to appreciate their Jewishness on a much larger scale. Dr. Zashin can be reached at 122 E. Market St., Iowa City, 52245, or call 319-338-0778.

Florence Brody in Tiberias (left) with dau^ter and son-in-law, Jan and Sheldon Perelman.
A mother's dream fulfilled By Florence Brody Shalom Mission participant Since my return from Israel, I feel compelled to put my thoughts on paper. I was there 18 years ago to watch my great-nephew become a Bar Mitzvah at the Wall. Eight of my family went, and of course, it was a wonderful experience. Last October, I went on the UJA Shalom Community Mission with residents from Omaha. I was amazed at the difference between these two trips. It is very difficult to express the emotions I felt with the mission group. We left as acquaintances and came back like family. The experiences we shared and feelings of camaraderie I will remember all my life. As a senior citizen, the mission was a reawakening of my childhood when in Des Moines, Cantor Edgar taught me so much of what I was actually experiencing in Israel. When we recited the Shehecheyanu at Mt. Scopus as we entered Jerusalem, my thoughts were of my mother, an ardent Zionist prior to the establishment of the Stale of Israel. I felt her presence was with me, as I was fulfilling her dream of a lifetime. I was especially fortunate to share the joy with my daughter and son-in-law, Jan and Sheldon Perelman. Many Israelis suggested that we go back to the states and tell what it is like in Israel. I could not do it justice. I can only say one must see it for oneself

Parents to receive Jewish education survey By Diane Axler Baum! a The Nebraska Business Development Center has produced a survey to assess the educational opportunities available to Jewish children living in Omaha-Council Bluffs. All area households with Jewish children from birth to age l3 will receive the survey the first week in Januauy. Coo{>erating in the survey project are the Bureau of Jewish Education, Friedel Jewish Academy, United Talmud Torah of Omaha, the religious school of Temple Israel, and the religious school of B'nai Israel. The survey looks at educational possibilities currently available to the Jewish children in OmahaCouncil Bluffs and will be the basis for determining ways to offer expansion or improvement in the future. Numerous questions in the survey allow parents to share their perceptions about existing Jewish education, and other questions permit them to offer general and specific suggestions, according to Michele J. Riojas, Director of Friedel Jewish Academy. The survey is anonymous. However, any parents who wish to participate in future discussions about Jewish education are invited to include their name, address, and telephone number. Complete confidentiality is assured. Susan Drazen, director of the BJE, urged parents to fill out and return the survey as soon as possible. "The results of this survey will be a valuable tool in the ongoing effort to enhance the quality of Jewish education available to all of our children," she said. .• The survey was made possible by a grant from^ the Herbert Goldsten Trust. The Nebraska Business Development Center is located at 1313 Farnam St., Suite 132, Omaha, NE 68132.

Oman may establish ties with Israel By David Landau JERUSALEM (JTA) - The Persian Gulf state of Oman may be the next Arab country to establish full diplomatic ties with Israel. Without providing details. Foreign Minister Shimon Peres said Tuesday that an Arab state would take the step in January. According to local media reports, the most likely candidate is Oman. Strategically located at the tip of the Persian Gulf, Oman has maintained a secret relationship with Israel for 16 years, including a permanent Israeli presence on Omani soil, it was reported here this week. The Israel presence in Oman was maintained by representatives of the Prime Minister's Office, according to the daily newspaper Ha'aretz. The paper added that the Omani foreign minister, YusBuf ben-Allawi, had secretly visited Israel "more than once." The publication of this report was apparently in anticipation of the forging of formal diplomatic relations between Israel and several Gulf states in the months ahead. Deputy Foreign Minister Yossi Beilin held talks in the Omani capital of Muscat on Tuesday, and his visit there was ofTicially publicized by the government of Oman. Oman, along with the Persian Gulf states of Qatar and Bahrain, indicated during last week's EKonomic conference in Casablanca, Morocco, that it l^ould set up formal ties with Israel within six months

Oldtimers Review ' By Harry Paskowitz Art Grossman moderated the Earlybirds' discus-" sion group. He opened with a personal note: that he and Anne just celebrated their 60th wedding aniversary. ' Coincidentally, he excerpted an article by Jack Levin in The Baltimore Sun titled "60 Years of Marriage Isn't Easy to Explain". Art questioned the group as to how long we had all been married, and most of us were around the half-century mark. This, Art stated, agreed with the article, with half the marriages of today ending in divorce or early break-up and long marriages being in a state of decline. Then up came the topic of elections, with the multitude of issues and candidates and with more badmouthing than ever before. Art cited the Wall Street Journal spotlighting John Christensen and Peter Hoagland as horrible examples of dirty politics. Rabbi Azriel of Temple Israel spoke, stressing the importance of learning the issues and the candidates and to vote logically. • Charlie Fellman brought up the subject of whether we should open the gates of immigration. John Kolm said we need control of immigration, especially for states like California, Florida and Texas, where inunigrants are taking over. Charlie Fellman brought up whether Social Security income should be taxed. Also discussed was the matter of the rising crime rate; the shooting at the White House; Israel; and Nebraska being number one in football. Sam Kaplan presided at the luncheon, and he thanked the servers and ARAMARK. Motzi was by Sam Kaplan and benchen by Keith Peltz. Harry Paskowitz filled in with the treasurer's report and the hospital report, which included Warner Frohman, Janice Harris, Joe Ginsberg and Ellen Albin. The next Oldtimers meeting is Tuesday, Nov. 15.

Cantor Berkovits honored
A review
ByJiilBelmont ADIVCRC board member Two communities, which in recent years have sometimes been plagued by inaccurate stereotypes and negative feelings toward each other, came together Saturday night at the Jewish Community Center to witness an uplifting theatrical production. Members of the African-American and Jewish communities experienced "Crossing the Broken Bridge," a two-person show featuring vignettes from the perspectives of a variety of Black and Jewish characters. "The show is a collaboration between the Junebug Theater Project of New Orleans, and A Traveling Jewish Theatre, based in San Francisco. i The Omaha performance was co-sponsored by Theatre at the 'J,' the Anti-Defamation League/Community Relations Committee, and funded by United Arts Omaha, Mid-America Arts Alliance and the Esther K.Newman Foundation. The vignettes included both dialogues and monologues, and all were.performed powerfully and poignantly by actors John O'Neal and Naomi Newman. Some segments addressed the fierce anger and prejudice that members of each group have felt toward the other (usually based on ignorance, fear and unfair stereotypes); some illustrated how African-American and Jewish histories have paralleled one another through suffering horrible, hatefllled iivjustices, and how those commonalities seem to have been ignored or forgotten in recent years.

The Friedel Notebook By Michele J. Riojas, Friedel Jewish Academy director The concept of dedication to Judaism, which is central to Hanukkah, motivates the students and parents of Friedel Jewish Academy year-round. Our stifdents live the concept through their studies and activities; our parents, through service and involvement. Friedel parents are joined in their efforts by many other members of the Jewish community, also devoted to the school and its mission, who serve on the Academy Board, offer financial , support, and volunteer their time and expertise in the office and the classrooms. 1 wish to thank the members of Friedel's Board of Directors, P.T.O., and many committees—espe daily the Recruitment, Market Survey, Fund-rais ing, General Studies, and Jewish Studies committees—for their ceaseless efforts on behalf of FJA. The Academy could not exist without their dedicated work! A few Sundays ago, as we launched our winter fund-raiser, I was struck by how much we depend on the efforts of volunteers. Surrounding me that busy day were representatives of numerous Friedel families, including the Brazzles, Freunds, Friedmans, Gerbers, Gersons, LeMaistres, Riches, Saltzmans, and Shukerts. The task at hand was the packing of hundreds of boxes of Hanukkah candles into padded envelopes. We inserted into each envelope a short letter requesting a contribution to FJA. It is our sincere hope that the recipients of our gifl of Hanukkah candles will, in return, make a generous gift to Friedel. Friedel is planning another gift to the Jewish community. We invite everyone to share thd joy of our Hanukkah play, "Mattathias Comes to Chelm," an original musical comedy in three acts. The event

Our entire student body will participate in the performance, which is being directed for the J stage by Friedel teacher Mrs. Jean Weide-Voss. The students, parents, and faculty of FJA join me in a fervent hope: This Hanukkah, may support for Friedel Jewish Academy burn as bright as the lights of the festival. We wish a happy and meaningful Hanukkah to all.

Rabbi Sidney Brooks honored by UNO By Jo Carroll In a lecture leries named in his honor, Rabbi Sidney H. Brooks was lauded as a humanitarian who helps others regardless of their cultural or ethnic backgrounds. Dr. Daniel Bresslauer, who presented the inaugural lecture, used a series of bible stores, parables and fables to illustrate his topic, "Responsibility for the Suffering of Others". He said people should react to the suffering of others when social institutions fail. He stated people should also respond when they can understand or identify with the suffering. But, he emphasized, it is most important to respond to others when they are not within our culture. In a stirring summation he said, "Rabbi Brooks is the person who answers suffering in others no matter what their background. His is the human manifestation of a set of obligations to give to everyone else regardless.' During a question-and-answer period Bresslauer, professor of Relig^ion at the University of Kansas, From left: Dr. Richard Freund, Rabbi Sidney said it is not for us to judge whether or not people Brooks and Dr. Daniel Breslauer at UNO lecwill profit from their suffering.

"Thinking a problem through also allows us to .tion for learning.' Dr. James S.

Dr. Richard has much to offer the university." Freund, current Chair in Judaic Studies, said that over 200 universities in the United States now have Judaic chairs. Responding to the lecture and honor. Rabbi Brooks reflected on his rabbinate and times of suffering, but said he also shared the periods of elation with his congregants. He said his own feelings of inadequacy have led him to study and research. "The world desperately It's you. It's me. It's all of us. needs teachers and scholars. Words and books shore us up.

JCC to sponsor Artza '96
I
The Jewish Community Center Board of Directors recently gave approval to proceed iVith plans for Artza "SG: "To the Land". Artza chairman Anne Broder and Corey Kirshenbaum, JCQ assistaht executive director, will be planning the JCC sponsored, four-week summer experience for youth entering their sophomore, junior or senior year. The trip is scheduled to take place in the summer of 1996. According to Corey Kirshenbaum, "A year-and-ahalf seems like a long time, but a lot of planning is involved in making these trips a success. Since this trip will take place in 1996, we are targeting teens who are now in 8th through 10th grades." Artza is not a new concept. The first Artza program took place in 1988 with subsequent trips in 1991 and 1993. Artza III, held in 1993, was one of the most successful. Anne Broder, who also co-chaired the '93 experience, said, "We were very excited about the success of the trip. With our past experience and some innovative ideas for Artza '96, this trip should be even better. "Our goal is to involve as many teens from the Omaha Jewish community as possible. We don't want to turn anyone away. "We know how important it is to provide our teens with a sound, positive Israel experience. Artza '96 is a way of making an investment in pur community's future.' The JCC will form a committee for this project over the next few weeks. Watch for further developments and news on the Artza trip over the upcoming months.

Mitzvahs.. .that's what we do! "He makes it seem so easy ..." By Susan A. Drazen, executive director Bureau of Je^ah Education 'Tzedakah...it'8 good for you.Jt'a good for them. It'ts good for Jews and for the world. We all need it, now let's do it!' Danny Siegel, 1990 It all started with the news from the Women's Pivision of the UJA/Federation Campaign that "Danny Siegel will be the speaker for our kick-off event in November—wouldn't it be great if we could arrange a presentation for students, tool' An opportunity for our kids to hear Danny Siegel, poet, writer, teacher and Jewish ethicist? An opportunity for our kids to learn from the man who has done more than anyone in our generation to involve more people in the mitzvah of tzedakah? What Wkibulous idea! But how to make it happen? The Esther K. Newman/Carolyn KuUy Newman Grants Committee responded generously to our request for funds to sponsor Mr. Siegel's additional appearance, and things started happening! Glen Fineman, executive director of Jewish Family Service, arranged publicity; educational directors provided us with mailing lists and rearranged the evening's schedule...and it happened, just as we had hoped. On the evening of Nov. 2, some 150 students from Beth El, Beth Israel, B'nai Israel, and Temple Israel and their rabbis, parents, and educators packed the Jewish Community Center auditorium to learn from Danny Siegel about tzedakah and other mitzvot. "He makes it seem so easy," I heard a student say as she left the room at the evening's end. Danny Siegel does make it seem easy to help other people. He held up a flstful of dollar bills, asked "Who has change?' and within five minutes, had collected $220 from those present to be sent to "Friends of Jay," a group soliciting funds to help sponsor bone marrow donor testing for a 25-year old leukemia patient.
From left: Barb Platt and Linda Mann, event chairmen; Danny Siegel; 'Carol Katzman and Julee Katznmn, Women's Division chairmen. As Mr. Siegel tossed out ideas that "anyone can do," another student volunteered to spearhead a drive for used children's car seats to give to those who could not afford their own. In another corner of the room, an even younger student made plans to "gather millions of pennies for tzedakah." Pets to visit hospital patients? Someone else took responsibility for that. "He makes it seem so easy" by providing people like you and me with ideas for doing tzedakah and other mitzvot. Danny Siegel's List of Mitzvah phone numbers ranges from starting a Jewish AIDS project to mitzvah horses (therapeutic riding groups) to starting a synagogue mitzvah committee. By doing these mitzvot, by doing God's commandments, we can also "clothe the naked, feed the hungry, and help provide for the unfortunate in our midst." "He makes it seem so easy" by showing us that there is much to do, but there is so much that can be done, by people like us. So...if you have a car seat you're no longer using, or want to collect food for food banks, or learn to braille books, or become a bone marrow donor, do I have a phone number for you! Call me at the Bureau of Jewish EducaUon, 334-8200, ext. 246. It's a start, isn't it?
Visitine with Danny Siegel (from left) are Sid Wintroub, Bea Premack and Marilyn Pred.
Jews do Mitzvahs—that's what we do By Suzi Mogil, Women's Division publicity "Jews Do Mitzvahs." This concept was the message that approximately 100 members of the Women's Division of the 1995 UJA/Federation Campaign heard on Nov. 1 at the Jewish Community Center. Danny Siegel, poet, author and lecturer delivered a motivating speech on "tzedakah" and gave energized insights on his personal "mitzvah heroes." The occasion, chaired by Barbara Platt and Linda Mann, was the opening event of the 1995 Women's Division Campaign. Mr. Siegel defined Tzedakah as "taking of your possessions to benefit others." He stressed the importance of setting appropriate goals for ourselves and emphasized the fact that if the need is there, then we must meet it. From his presentation, combined with humor and sincerity, it was clearly evident that this man leads a life dedicated to tzedakah. The group of Omaha Women's Division members left feeling inspired and enthusiastic about the upcoming campaign, and with the proud realization that Jews do Mitzvahs! fl

DREIDEL GAME For two or more players
nun ^l^Hffl wins nothing
The dreidel game is a Hanukkah tradition. To start the game each player is given 10 coins, nuts, or other objects. Players put three of them into the middle of a circle. This is called the "pot."
^ TI
gimmel - wins , everything in
•' J the "pot"
Each player takes a turn spinning the dreidel. A dreidel is a four-sided top. Each side is marked with a Hebrew letter. The letter that lands up when the dreidel stops spinning tells the player what to do. (See diagram.)
n
The letters hove also been interpreted to mean "A (jreal miracle happened there" (Nos Gadol Hayn Sham). In Israel, the printinj; on the "sevivon" (dri'idel) reads Nes Gadol Hnyn I'o ("A j,Ti';il miracle happened hcrel").
hay - wins half of the "pot"
shin - puts one into the " pot"
Each time a whole pot is taken, the game starts over. The winner is the one with the most or the only one who is not wiped out!
