Sparks from The Word By Rabbi M^r S. ^pke Paraahat Kedoshim After Munich, After Auschwitz, After Oklahoma An ancient rabbinic debate concluded - disturbingly -- with the decision that it would have been better if mankind had not been created at all. Ecclesiastes might well have agreed, bnd possibly Job also.. .In any case, there is a sharp criticism of the Creator here, for He used the last hours of Creation on the Sixth Day to create Mankind. , The rabbinic debate had a second conclusioi^. Although, they said, it would have been better had, Mankind not been given life, it cannot be denied that there is a fait accompli. Man is. Man is here. The Holy One, Blessed Be He, has done what'He has done. And since Mankind is, in fact, alive, we must look attentively to the way we live. We must carefully attend to the things we do. The rabbis who judged mankind so negatively (in this instance) were responding to the facts of history. The cruel, rapacious Roman government was triumphant Thousands of Jews had been crucified or otherwise massacred. Life was not a celebration but a burden for all but the Romans. The senseless, unfeeling murder of innocent human beings was a commonplace among the limperial Romans. Was life worth nil that suffering? The response was, since life exists, it has to adhere to standards, norms of conduct, despite the corruption of empire. We are fortunate that (at least in theory) Jewish norms,.Jewish ethics, became the standard of large parts of the civilized world, through Judaism and through its daughter religions, Christianity and Islam. I write in response both to Oklahoma City's travail and to our Sidrah: "^ou shall be holy!" The mindless brutes responsible for the Oklahoma murders and the long-continuini; suffer ing of brighted families should not have been crent ed. We may well charge this deep-seated flaw, rnt Job may have done, to the Creator. Or to Niilure Or to evolution Or to: you may name it. But for IKS who continue in life, we niu.«1 liolp bind up the woiiiul.';, we must comfort the iifnictcrl, we must help rebuild n community. And for our selves, we must look seriously to our own lives, to seek the ideal of holiness which our Sidrah com mends, nay, commands. '

Evening of Memories On those rare occasions when 1 )i,id iin oppoiiii nity to chat informally with the late Dan Goidiiian, •the conversation inevitably shifted to,one of his most treasured memories. He loved to recall those glory days when Beth Israel Synagogue hosted a series of Citation Dinners from 1953 through 1962. Mr. Gordman enjoyed telling the behihd-thescenes stories abput how famous people' were encouraged to accept invitations and honors for these events. Ajid these were'indeed famous people. For example, President Harry Truman, comediian Eddie Cantor, motion picture Sitar Irene Dunne •to name a few. And as he related the circumstances surrounding the appearance of each honoree, he would leave his desk, walk to his office wall, and fondly describe ithe photos that were taken during the events. These memories were among his favorites and his face would beam with delight as he talked about the wonderful experiences shared not only by the Beth Israel Congregation, but by the entire Omaha cbmmunity. Later this month, on May 21, Beth Israel will •host an Evening of Memories and included in the festivities will be video clips of the Citation Dinners. All of us have fond memories of Mr. Gordman — •among the best of mine are those chats about the dinners, and I like to think that although he has passed on, he will be there in everyone's thoughts.

One jiersoM told iiie ili.it.ilie while ribbon represented, "the saddest •-"t to all Of this." 1 disagree; it's good to dispel iiiyi..s. This nation is long overdue for honest self-renertion. The purple ribbon is meant to represent the children-victims, and the blue ribbon is meant to re.present all of the virtiiiis I wish the distinction hadnt Ix'en made since all of the victims were equally Innocent. Furtlieriiiore, the families who lost loved ones, parents and relatives in the bombing are also especially vulnerable now. I was deeply grateful to President and Mrs. Clinton for directly addressing America's children in the aftermath of this tragedy. As Jewish parents, we give our children a heightened awareness of community and social issues. To assume children lack awareness or "shouldn't be troubled by adult issues," is blatantly neglectful. The girl who suggested "planting a tree" to remember the victims ephoed a very Jewish sort of response. The yellow ribbon is for the missing. It's a gruesome ordeal, and my heart goes' out to all of the workers who still confront the specter of the bombed rubble. Our leaders have declared that we will emerge from this tragedy united and stronger. Does this mean we will finally learn to think and analyze

Bert's Eye View

By Bert Lewis I've never completely subscribed to that wellknown adage "you can't teach an old dog new tricks." Maybe there's a certain element of truth to it if you really mean dogs, but I'm certain that where people are concerned, it's never too late to learn something. Personally, having just finished with the Passover season along with the rest of you, I will admit that in the kitchen at least, I learned several NEW RULES. Want to know what they were? Well, first of all, I discovered it's not advisable to take a phone call while in the process of beating egg whites. Even if it's long distance, resist the temptation. • I'm here to tell you that if stopped, in mitten drinem, and then the process is continued and the whites LOOK perfect, forget it. Under those gorgeous stiff clouds you'll find liquid....unwhipped stuff is the punishment for answering the phone.

The Secret War Against the Jews: How Western Espionage Betrayed the Jewish People' A tfook review

;•

This is one frightening book. The authors have spoken with 600 former intelligence dfiicers about their covert operations against the Jews. They outline a massive conspiracy touching practically every m^jor political figure of the 20th century, and aboye all the American intelligence agendes. This is,a hard pill to swallow. Aiter all, America is Israel's ally, right? "It's pure hypocrisy," says one former agent. "In public, Israel is our ally. What the public doesn't know is that all Western nations have covert policies to side with the Arabs. It keeps the intelligence community busy. Screwing Jews is what I did for a living." Why? As "Deep Throat" of Watergate fame reportedly said, "Follow the money." It began with the maneuvers for Middle East oil, where antiSemitism was a job requirement The sdme people who were involved—politicians, spies, and businessmen—were involved with Nazi industrialists and bankers; escaping Nazi war criminals and treasure; the absorption of Nazis into the intelligence agencies themselves; and anti-Israel policies. Like political malaria, the same cast of characters keeps coming back. The connections are labyrinthine, but undeniable. To mention one: The bank run by George Bush's grandfather and father became a m^or Nazi money-laundering machine. Bush's grandfather also took over the HamburgAmerika Line, a cover for I.G. Farben's Nazi espionage unit in the U.S. Bush's father hired a lawyer to hide the assets—Allen Dulles, later head of the CIA. The whole crew Should have gone to jail. Instead, they agreed to spy on the Nazis. At the same time, they protected their own business interests^ Consider Standard Oil. Standard shipped oil to the Nazis during the war, but at the same time, provided officers in Spain and Switzerland to watch Axis oil shipments. Allen Dulles was "the mastermind of the whole dirty business." Just to complete the circle, the biggest stockholder in Standard, after the Rockefellers, was — I.G, Farben, whose lawyer was — Allen Dulles. Another player in the same scheme was James Forrestal, the Secretary of Defense who would rabidly oppose the birth of Israel in 1948. Allen Dulles's son-inlaw, Fritz Molden, was responsible for the "wildly erroneous" security clearance given to one Kurt Waldheim. As Loftus and Aarons ^mmarize it, "the foxes were guarding the henhouse."

By Rabbi Robert L. Wolkofr Having established this interlocking directorate of genteel and ndt-so-genteel anti-Semites, Loftus and Aarons go into specifics about what they actually did. Some highlights: *Jack Philby and Dulles used oil blackmail on behalf of their Arab clients to block th'e escape of European Jews to Palestine. 'Dulles smuggled Nazi agents and money through the Vatican and out of Italy. False intelUgence' repbrts were used in order to hide illicit transactions during and after the war. Dulles was successful in preventing a single American businessman fi-om being convicted of treason for helping the Nazis. •The Israelis knew all about the smuggling. They blackmailed the CIA to allow Jews to escape along the same routes as'the Nazis. And they blackmailed Nelson Rockefeller (using the above mentioned Standard Oil scandal) into lining up the necessary votes in the U.N. to support Palestine's partition. *The recruitment of "former" Nazis into Western intelligence was a disaster. They were thoroughly infiltrated by the Soviets. The Israelis knew this, passed on the information, and were ignored. •Ever since WW II, there has been a massive covert surveillance program, invplving collusion between the NSA and its British equivalent, against "virtually every Jewish citizen, organization and charity in the world." Even today, Congress has not been informed »f the full extent of the program. •Western nations, with the help of .CIA money approved by Allen Dulles, sent "former" Nazi scientists to Egypt in full knowledge that they would be building missiles and chemical and biological, weapons. •The Israeli attack on the USS Liberty during the six-day war was intentional—and an act of selfdefense. The Liberty was engaging in an act of war against Israel, gathering Israel's order of battle to help the Egyptians launch a face-saving counterattack. •The NSA knew about the impending Egyptian surprise attack more than 30 hours before the Yom Kippur War started. This information was intentionally withheld from the Israelis. ^he CIA colluded with the oil companies during the Carter and Reagan administrations by cooking up false oil production projections for the USSR and Saudi Arabia. The result was to trigger a rise

in oil prices, as well as the first American shipments of top level arms to the Arabs (F-lSs and AWACS). ' I •The Israelis were fall guys in the Iran-Contras scandal. The Reagan administration had been shipping arms to Iran, with the help of the PLO, at least a year before the Israelis (reluctantly, and at U.S. urging) became involved. Jonathan Pollard inadvertently discovered the first of these shipments. All in all, mighty heady stuff. But what is one to make of it? In general, one should be very skeptical of conspiracy theories. The fact that crucial sources are anonymous (and thereby unverifiable) former agents doesn't help. On the other hand, Loilus had served as a prosecutor in the Justice Department's Nazi-hunting unity — and did have access to intelligence agents and secret documents. Wh^n all is said and done, it. all comes down to the arguments themselves. Do they succeed in explaining the otherwise inexplicable? The answer is: more than one wishes. Far more.
