Super Sunday's Project Warm-Up 1^^ By Tom Vann, ^ Super Sunday co-chairman with Trenton Magid for the 1996 UJA/Federadon Campaign "Hie Omaha Jewish Community has a unique opportunity to assist needy Jewish people in the former Soviet Union. There are approximately 1,400,000 Jews left I there and many of these people, including the elderly, handicapped and sinf^e n^others, are strug^ing to survive. They barely have money for food and rent. Coats are badly needed! Project Wann-Up, a hands-on tzedakah project in conjunction with the UJA/Federation Campaign's Super Sunday phon-a-thon, is our effort to help relieve this serious shortage of warm coats for people facing economic hardships in the former Soviet Union. You can help by donating coats, hats, gloves and • mittens in good condition — that is, clean with no holes, rips, missing buttons, broken zippers, etc. Project Warm-Up containers will be placed at the following locations from Oct. 2 through Dec. 8: The Jewish Community Center, Beth El, Beth Israel, Beyt Shalom, and B'nai Israel Synagogues. Due to construction, collection dates at Temple Israel will be announced. On Super Sunday, Dec. 10, the coats we have collected wilt be packed and shipped to the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC) for distribution to our fellow Jews in the former Soviet Union. A portion of the money raised by the UJA/Federation Campaign, including our Super 'SOJOday telethon, funds the rescue and community building efforts of the JDC in the former Soviet Union.
Tom Vann (left) and Tkvnton Magid The coats we collect will be shittped by the U.S. Department of State at no cost to us or to the recipients. The shipment will be supervised by the JDC to ensure that the items are appropriately distributed. Please become a part of Project Warm-Up and feel the warmth of luiowing that your old coat will be used by a Jey in the former Soviet Union. For more information, call the Federation office at 334-6428.

Study shows agencies dependent on government By Matthew Dorf WASHINGTON (JTA) — Reeling from a study showing heavier than expected dependence on government funding, Jewish federations across the country are gearing up for a fight to save their nursing homes, social service agencies and hospitals. Planned congressional budget cuts to social welfare programs would eviscerate Jewish services nationwide and threaten the entire federation system, according to the Council of Jewish Federations. Jewish communal agencies receive more than $3.67 billion from federal, state and local governments, representing about 41 percent of their total budgets, according to a CJF survey of 45 federations released last week. The federated system is about to confront a crisis that will test our leadership as never before," said Richard Wexler, chairman of the CJF's Community Planning and Financial Resource Development Steering Committee. *No longer can the Jewish community adopt a Vait and see' attitude," he said as he presented the report to the CJF executive committee meeting in Detroit. "It's too late for that," he said. *We must recognize the emergency and deal with it now." Diana Aviv, the director of the CJFs Washington action office, which prepared the report, said she was "shocked, agog and startled when numbers came in." "In fact, the Jewish community is deeply dependent on government funds. Although ofncials admit the numbers are shocking, they point out that more than two-thirds of the $3.67 bilUon goes to Jewish-supported hospitals in the form of Medicaid and Medicare payments.*

Jews will continue to vote in large numbers, and they will vote to support huOian rights causes and Israel." "As Israel becomes more economically viable and less dependent upon the aid of the United States and most certainly of American Jewry, the American Jewish community will focus more on domestic issues," says Tommy Baer, president of B'nai B'rith International. "And I do think that a Jewish president is possible, but it would have to be someone like JFK, smart, charismatic, who could break the religious barrier as Kennedy did with Catholicism." While JFK had to contend with a 184 year-old tradition of electing Protestants to the U.S. presidency, he never had the heavy cloud of dual loyalty hang over his head. And neither has (loldwin.

TotheEditon The conunittee of yolunteers that iworked on the fa'bulous fundraiser for the Rose Blumkin Jewish Home would like to thank a number of patrons whose names were not included in our l^rochure. They are: Dr. and Mrs. Dennis Beavers, Borsheims, Ike Friedman Foundation, Mr. and Mrs. Stan Shrier, Mr. and Mrs. Art Walker, Dr. and Mrs. EMward Malashock, Mr. and Mrs. Ro^bert Newman, Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Gordman, -Enterprise Bank, Mr. and Mrs. Norman Batt, Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Goldstein, Forrest Krutter and L.O.V.E. We also appreciate the work of our treasurers. Bob Cox and Mrs. Beverly Franklin. Lorrie Bernstein and Florence Brody Editor's Note:
The Rose Blumkin Jewish Home fundraiser will provide the Home with $108,282, according to Eugene Brandt, executive director. To the Editor: It is difficult to say "good-bye" to good friends, like those we have found at the JCC in Omaha. We have learned a lot and got experience in many ways strange to us. Life here is different from the one we were used to, but differences make living interesting. There would be no fun if there wouldn't be differences. So, with heavy hearts, we say "good-bye," take care, many thanks for your firiendship, we will miss you, and we hope that we will remain in your memory, not as the worst people you have ever met. So, 'til we meet again, in heartfelt firiendship, Joe and Lilly Boin To the Editon America should be an example of fairness and include all people, because it is served by all. It is true that the m^ority are Christians, but we cannot ignore the contributions of people with other religions or no religion at all. Therefore, it is unfair for non-Christians to hear that they live in a Christian country and should live a Christian life. Since Jesus had his religious
I I background from the Old Testament, we may as well say that the Jewish way of life would also be the right way. Even this statement would not be fair to people with other faiths. As long as we have good and bad people in any group, we cannot serve as an example, and as long as there are many Bibles, no one in particular should be read in public schools. How would a Chriptian feel if their children would be guided the Buddist, Moslem or Jewish way? Let's not do unto others wbi|it could hurt ourselves. A good American looks for the value of character in his fellow man and respect one's religious privilege. k Miriam Grossman To the Editor: 1 am impressed and overwhelmed by the many successes that our Omaha Jewish Community is enjoying. One in particular' is a historical event that we all need to celebrate. It is unprecedented in the history of the Omaha Je,wish Community to have in one academic school year, 11 students who decided to pursue higher Jewish Education in Yeshiovot. These 11 students, seven post high school and four high school, have committed themselves to Jewish education and Yiddishkeit; not to betome rabbis, cantors or Jewish communal workers but to become Jews. These 11 students have grown up in our community, been involved with the National Council of Synagogue Youth and Beth Israel Synagogue. Many believe that children who attend Yeshivot have problems, or are social outcasts who impose their religious practices in an offensive way upon their family and their community. This is not the situation. In fact, following the national trend, many of these children have brought their families back to spirituality, Jewish observance of Mitzvot and the study pf text. Our students are, in most situations, academically superior and socially competent G-d willing, they will continue in their Jewish path, attend higher educational institutions and contribute to the perpetuation of our faith. Omaha has a right to be proud that 11 young people ^nd their families, in one year, have made a commitment to their Judaism. Allan M. Gonsher
(continaed firom page 1) "1 think that we are going to see peace in a decade, not 50 years, and we can already see interesting models of regional cooperation emerging," says Rabbi Sidney Schwarz, president of the Washington Institute for Jewish Leadership and Values. "Israel could be a very exciting place in 60 years, Jewishly and for the world. It can be a light uhto the nations. We could have a spiritual nation emerge. Israel sits on that legacy, jt's just not aware what's under it's rump. "For 60 years Israel has put the political Zionist agenda over its spiritual Zionist agenda. With the onset of peace with the Arabs, they better pull that spiritual handbook out of the attic. A regional peace will create many more economic, cultural and inter-personal ties between Israel and the Arabs and that's going to make Israel even more Middle Eastern and less Western. That's why Israel needs that Jewish dimension, otherwise you can forget the missions because Israel will be incompatible with progressive Jewish valups and American sensibilities."

JOURNEV TO PRRIS
Now that Mhool has tegun, this put •ummsr Mwns Ilka i and why not? III was filled with many msmorlssl and experiencas] from Omaha to | |Mukwonsgo. My family did I not venture on| the usual vacation this year. In I fact. I did not travel with my family once this summer. I had Andy my own vacation beginning in June when I left for a BBYO summer .program in MuKwonago, Wistonsin. There is no way to descritie the two greatest weeks of my summer. There Just isn't. There are no words that oome to mind wtien asked to describe my experience, only memories. You can ask all 10 of tf>e participants from Omaha what their greatest memory of CLTC was. and you will receive 10 different answers.. A good friend of mine gave me a piece of advice before I left for CLTC this summer. She told me to live each day to the fullest t)ecause,"... the days may go by like weeks, but the weeks will go by like days." I didn't really understand or even think about that statement until halfway through the two-week program. In one week, I had become close friends with so many people across the world. And we only had one more week left until we became workis apart. Many of us still keep in touch through phone calls, letters, and even eMail. In fact, nine people from CLTC came into Omaha over Labor Day weekend for AZA *1's Sweetheart Dance. And it is likely that in a few months, there will t>e a CLTC reunion. OespKe the k>ng distances t)ehween some of us. we are still veryck>se. Andy /• a Junior 1 Buikt, a member of AZA 01 end Beth B Synagogue.

Each of us were assigned to a country. I had the Nettieriands. I had to kxjk for a representative and exchange addresses so we couW communKate. We met with a group of young adults from Britain. They had very different beliefs. We had some good discussions. Their main tjelief, different from mine, was that they must go to live in Israel to be a good Jew. Rat}t}i Schindler spoke at tfie convention and also came to our hotel to speak with the NFTY teens. He quoted a line that caught my attenikxi. Since I am Asian-Amerk^n and adopted by a Jewish family, I have never known another religion than Judaism. He said, 'If I had not been bom a Jew, I woukf have chosen to t>e one.'

DESERT sbRUIURL By Bath Shykan XMy two more mOaa.* I toM myaelf as I cKmbad through the Judeen mountainain ttte hot. dry deaert of Iwael. *—only two more mHes until a nice, airoondMoned tour bus.* I MADE IT1 I survived two and a half days In the desert... the highlight of my BBYO program ... tt>e most memorable days of my life. ' We set out at 3:00 in the morning to dimb Masada and watch the sun rise. We weren't going up the easy way — we were taking the snake path, the fiard* way. Wlien we reached the top, I got an unbelievable surge of energy to expkxe the ruins ot my ancestors. I did. with all my friends, and then climbed down the easy way, the Roman ramp. We had breakfast, filled our water bottles and said farewell to our nice bus. Soon. I was standing at the tx>ttom of mountains which held many journeys and obstacles to conquer. I was also standing at the bottom of my home. t>athroom and playground tor the next twodaysl First. VM went rock climbing, but had to stop behMeen 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.. the hottest hours of the day. We weren't very successful at making our own shelters, so we k>o|(ed for a shaded area on our map. Without the fielp of our guides, we found a large canyon where vra rested and had lunch. Getting as comfortable as possible in 110 degree heat, we took off our shoes and socks and tried to fall asleep. Our water bottles were getting empty. On the map, we saw a very small stream. It's amazing what the desert withhokjs. We continued to hike through the sand and rock mountains; then the guide stopped us and asked for our watches. He told us not to ask questkxis and took each of us to our own
apol In the deaert wMh no one wtthin SOIeeioleMti other. I aat alone in tfie desert. I could hear only th^ wir^ btowing and an oooaalonal animal ndse. I sat on the sends that my greet ancestors and fellow Jews had once touched. I fell at one with my surroundings and at | peace with myself. I saw | the sun aet and tfie moon I rise. I had no | kjea how kxig I'd been sitting alone in ' my special Beth place. It was dari( when we finally gathered to prepare dinner and sleep. I woke up ttie next morning refreshied and ready to go. I had ttie l)est nigfit's sleep I ever had ... no bed ... no mattress ... just gravel and my sleeping bag ... yet stHI. the best nighfs sleep ever. We hiked until we reached a 60-fbot dried waterfall that we had to gel down. It was time to bring out tfie harnesses. We rappelted down. I was scared to death, but I dkl it and coukJnt waK for the next one. There were four more falls, the highest one t>eing 120 feet. It was amazing; the feeling ot accomplishment was indescribable. The desert survival was coming to an end. I was relieved, yet I was sad. I had learned and experienced so much. I dkf things that I never imagined I was capable ot doing.

ONE GREAT SUMMER. By Jeff Shapiro Now that school is back in full swing, and all of tha homework from Ms. Kelly's English! class is beginning to give me I stress headaches, I really wish that summer was still harel This past summer was one of tha | greatest of my £ life. H a began h with a promo- m^^ tk)n at iMjik. foljBtf iowed by C.M.T.. a trip to Minneapolis, and numerous KInnus chairperson meetings. First of all. at the beginning of June, my supervisor at Hy-Vee on 132nd and Dodge promoted me to assistant shift manager. I thought at first that it woukj be a pretty easy job, but I was quickly surprised. Management takes time to gel used to, so they tiegan schedulirtg me 40 hours a week! Though the days were kmg, I gained a k>t ot knowledge and experience atx)ut t>aing in management. It ia up to tfie manager to see that things run smoothly. Though it took moat of tha summer, I feel that I now have tfte hang of things In tha firal week of June, i attended C.M.T. at Lake Okoboji. C.M.T. (Chapter Memberahip Training) is BILU U.S.Y.'t annual end-ot-lhe-year pro-
gram and the first program where Kadimahniks are magk»lly lurried Into full-fledged U.S.Y.ers. C.M.T. was a blast this year~we went tubing on the lake, had a fun-filled day at Arnold's Park, and toppwd it all oft with some hours in the sun at Boji Bay Waterpark. OveraH. C.M.T. was a ton of fun) Next I traveled to Minneapolis to drop my sister off at camp. I stayed with a Iriend from U.S.Y.. and we had a great timel We spent hours k)st on tt>a freeway, tfien went t>owling, and finished the trip with a shopping excur8k>n at the Man of America. For ttie remainder of tfie summer, I went back to work and planned KInnus '95. KInnus is an annual U.S.Y. conventkm on Tfianksglving weekend, and it is in Omaha this year. Mk^fielle Lee, Allison Gutnik, and I are the three cochairs for the event, and it will be greatll We are traveling to the zoo, having a Kinnus Olympics at the J.C.C, and capping the conventkyi olf with a huge party on tha last night. Besides a D.J playing musk: all night kxig, there will be a special surprise guest. I cani say who. but H is a major ainger wtio you have delinltely heard before Kinnus '95 Is sure to be the beat Kinnus avartl So Oiafa my aummer In a nutihell. I iMd a greet time. arKl I can ortty wlah tor more aummera to be Nke the aummer ol'06111 J»0 la e/imler m Burtm, a memter of U$Y,AIA01m
