ParaabatEmor Th« Price of Disient The religious ruckus in the local Catholic community has caught the eye (how could it not?) of local Jews, as well as of Catholics and Protestants. There was a time when Jews indulged in (mutual) ex-communications (see the Archbishop of Lincoln) or serious wamingB about dissent (see the Archbishop of the Diocese of Omaha). But for Jews, not any longer. If I make comment, it is not to make comparisons, but rathtfr only to point out a standard Jewish (wsition. The Catholic Church, in my opinion, has full right to announce its position to its adherents without any apologies or hesitancy. But so do Jews. In a beautiful statement, "Opening Doors, Opening Minds," that appeared before Pesah as an advertisement in the New York Times, the Jewish Theological Seminary reminded Jews, and other Americans, that only when Eluah comes will all questions be definitively answered. Until this lovely legend works itself out-all questions are legitimate. "The true legacy of Judaism,' the statement went on to say, "is passionate trust and passionate inquiry, a combination of earnest devotion and honest doubt. . . By using our minds, as well as our hearts, we honor God who endowed us with reason." Have you noticed that our Sidrah opens with instructions to the priests? But the instruction is what and how to do certain things and refrain from certain things—not to warn the people to believe this or that. How can you tell anyone what he must believe? You may indeed tell him what he ought to consider, and what you yourself believe, as teacher, professor, rabbi or companion. But not what he miltl believe. Anyone who has studied even a couple of pages of Talmud, knows that the very method of Talmudic inquiry is adversarial-pitting opinion against opinion, interpretation against interpretation, and honoring all sincerely held opinion and all honest interpretation. In a recent article, Rabbi Ismar Schorsch, Chancellor of the Jewish Theological Seminary, described Judaism by the oxymoron, "a canon without closure." Now a 'canon" is certainly closed. We cannot, for example, add 'The Adventures of Superman" to the 24 books of the Bible. The canon is closed. But for Judaism itself, no closure has been made. It is not that all is fluid and uncertain. It is only that honest questioning, honest inquiry, is always permissible. Not only inquiry: even clear dissent. You may join this Synagogue or that without inquisition about your beliefs. And dissent is free. No charge.

Letter from Israel HviL.nv Ail.-i,
Silence has returned to the Israeli-Lebanese border-how long it will last is anybody's guess. Like many Israelis, my initial reaction to the "understanding" brokered bj^ Warren Christopher was that it was not a good deal for Israel. Hezbollah was still in existence, fighting could still continue in the seturity zone and Syria emerged as a very strong player. These were the [initial negative reactions, but a calmer review provides a different set of conclusions. What exactly did Israel gain? First and foremost, it removed the populated Northern towns and settlements from the circle of violence. Of this there can be little doubt Hezbollah can no longer use Lebanese villages as staging areas and this will severely inhibit their actions. True enough, they may violate the agreement but the implementation committee of which Israel is a part will be a significant deterrent t6 this. ' It is true that Syria's role was enhanced. But Syria always had control over Hezbollah-though they never acknowledged it. Now they have publicly been forced to assume some responsibility for the terrorists !}nd this will have a dampening effect since Syria is planning to establish a l)etlcr relalioiiship with the United States. And finally, despite the intense efforts of the Europeans to involve themselves-particularly France, it is clear that only the United Stales retains influence in the area-a very good thing for . Israel as long as Clinton remains president. The Hebrew language papers carried a story that Pere.s told Christopher that unless Assad reigns in Hezbollah and stops the Katushas, Israel wduld unleash a ground offensive into Lebanonsomething Syria and Israel did not want So, for the time being, the rockets have been stopped without the loss of a single Israeli soldier unlike Sharon's invasion into I^banon which cost the lives of hundreds of Israeli soldiers and contributed to the formation of Hezbollah in the first place. Will the operation help or hurt the election chances of Peres and the Labor party? At this point, it is hard to say. If there is quiet along the border between now and the election, the whole operation will probably help Peres marginally. Should the Katushas start falling again, it probably will give the election to Netanyahu and the Likud. But this should not give the opponents of Oslo cause for rejoicing. Netanyahu already has pledged that he will carry out the Oslo accords - from these agreements, there is no retreat. We hope the understandings hold, but it all depends on the implementation on the ground.

Police commissioner warns of pre-election terror By Naomi Segal JERUSALEM (JTA) — Police Commissioner Assaf Hefetz ha? iwarned that terrorist groups may launch atti^cks in order to change the course of Israel's May 29 national elections. Addressing a meeting of police commanders to review preparations in the run-up to the elections, Hefetz said that even though Israeli security forces have cracked down on terrorist groups, some of these groups may still be able to carry out attacks. Hefetz said special security measures were being taken to prevent such attacks. Last week, police found the body of a terrorist in eastern Jerusalem, saying that he was killed when a bomb he was preparing exploded prematurely. Police think that the terrorist was on his way to carry out a suicide bombing against Israelis in downtown Jerusalem. The man planned to detonate the explosive, ' which was estimated to have weighed more than 20 pounds, at a bus stop or on a bus, police said. Support for the government of Prime Minister Shimon Peres slipped after the series of suicide bombings in late February and early March. Political observers contend that another terrorist attack could cause Israeli voters to support Peres' more hardline opponent, Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu.

Homestead Exemption applications due l
Douglas County Assessor Frank Bemis says his office is not receiving several Homestead Exemption applications from applicants who were granted the exemption in previous years. Persons on the Homestead Exemption file who are over age 65 and on a limited income, were mailed an application and a Form 468 Schedule 1 Income Statement to be completed and returned. LB 902 passed by the 1994 Legislature requires that all household income be reported. Otherwise, the application will not be accepted by the State Department of Revenue. If the application was sent in without the Income Statement, or if it was not .completed, applicants should stop in the Assessor's office to complete the filing. It is also suggested that anyone needing assistance in filling out their Income Statement may bring it to the Assessor's ofTice or contact one of the Senior Citizen groups. According to the Assessor's office, the application and Income Statement should be in by May 31.

As you can see from the sale of an appreciated asset, the result is that the federal government taxes our theoretical taxpayer's gain from appreciation at a maximum rate of 28 percent. In this instance, when an asset with a fair market value of $50,000 was sold, it created a capital gain of $25,000 which was subject to a capital gains tax of $7,000. This then left $43,000 available for an investment that earned $3,010 based on a'seven percent return. On the other hand, when an appreciated asset is donated to fund a plan, such as a Charitable Remainder Trust (CRT), with The Jewish Federation Foundation, the capital gains tax on the appreciation ($25,000 in the example) is totally eliminated. The amount available then for contributing to and investing in the CRT is now $50,000 which would earn $3,500 on a seven percent return calculation.

gift to the Federation's annual campaign to directing income to assist various programs of any one of the seven Federation agencies. By establishing a fund with The Foundation you involve the next generation in Jewish community philanthropy and leave a lasting legancy to the community and your family. Just remember that the taxing authorities in Washington and Lincoln will continue to tax your gains on sales of appreciated assets, but The Foundation of the Jewish Federation of Omaha will always appreciate your gains in more ways than one. If you would like more information about The Foundation; or, if you have any questions alwut the planned giving strategy described above, please feel free to call me at The Foundation office at (402) 334-6440.

Lincoln Center Federation approves Women's Book Club sets meeting schedule 1996 Allocations The aewly fonned Jewish. Women's Book Club and Discussion Group will meet on the second and fourth Sundays of each month at 7 p.m. at Tifereth Israel Synagogue. ^ Current members of the club have decided upon a format for the upcoming months. They will read the Torah portion for the following Shabbat before the meeting and then discuss what insights they might have gained from it, essentially creating their own "woman-based" commentary. They will then consult the Hertz Pentateuch for a more traditional commentary and see how it meshes with the group's. Finally, they plan to attend Shabbat services to see what insights Rabbi Stanley Rosenbaum of Tifereth Israel chooses to highlight that week. Organizers believe this approach will encourage several positive outcomes: The women involved will find a deeper understanding of and appreciation for Torah; their sense of spirituality as Jewish women will be strengthened; they will help build a Jewish community; the Hebrew language will be practiced; and they will more regularly attend Shabbat services. They are excited to begin their discussions and invite all who are interested to join them. It is hoped that the group size will increase over time, especially including unaffiliated women and members of B'nai Jeshurun. For more information, contact Nanci Rivenburg at 476-9648 or Elaine Monnier at 477-5498.
According to Robert Nefsky, chairman of the Jewish Federation ^f^Ijincoln's Allocations Committee, the Federation board of directors approved^^e committee's recommendations by acclamation at it's April 25 meeting. In all, 27 entities have been approved for funding. They are, in order of allocation size: United Jewish Appeal, Youth Scholarships, Lincoln Jewish Resettlement Committee, Local Special Purposes/Adult Education, Anti-Befamation League (Omaha), Jewish Press, Rose Blumkin Home (Operating), Local Family Emergency Fund, Teacher Development, Harris Center for Judaic Studies, Rose Blumkin Home Foundation, Aid to Jewish Transients, Lincoln Mayor's Trip to Israel, Council of Jewish Federations Dues, Conservative Movement in Israel, Reform Movement in Israel, HIAS, Federation Annual Weekend, Leadership Development, NFTY, USY, Lincoln Food Pantry, Simon Wiesenthal Center, Lincoln Interfaith Council, American Jewish Congress, Jewish Chautauqua Society, and Tay Sachs Foundation. Inquiries may be directed to the Jewish Federation of Lincoln, P.O. Box 67218, Lincoln, NE 68506-7218.
Gary Hill appointed to Civil Rights Post
By Audrie Bennan
Gary Hill is among 11 persons appointed to the Nebraska Advisory Committee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, according to Melvin L. Jenkins, director of the Central Regional office. The appointments were made by the Commissioners in Washington, D.C. Mr. Hill is president of CEGA Services and its Division of Northwestern Metal Company as well as Contact Center, Inc., a private not-for-profit, international information/referral clearinghouse for human services, criminal justice and illiteracy, located in Lincoln. He has served as a special assistant to the Associate Commissioner of the Social Security Administration and currently directs the Information Center for the Non-Governmental Alliance of Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice of the United Nations. Other members who were appointed by the Federal Commission are: Alcurtis Robinson (Chairperson) and Bee M. Vang of Omaha; James D. Faimon, Sister Phyllis Hunhoff, Stephanie Johanns, Betty Loudon, Diane G. Myers, and Dr. Marty Ramirez, all of Lincoln; and Rosa E. Cobos and Teresa M. Stands of Scottsbluff. Working in coordination with the Commission's Central Office in Kansas City, Kan., the Nebraska Advisory Committee conducts fact-finding studies of dvil rights problems and publishes reports of its findings and recommendations. The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, first established by Congress in 1967 and reestablished in 1983, is an independent, bipartisan, fact-finding agency of the Federal Government concerned with discrimination based on color, race, religion, sex, age, handicap, national origin, or in the administration of justice.

South Street Temple hosts family workshop Over 50 parents and children participated in a Jewish Family Workshop sponsored by B'nai Jeshurun's Paula Storch Williams Religious School on April 21. "Take Time for Torah" was an informal group experience that enabled families to explore Jewish themies and values. The workshop was facilitated by Deborah Reshotko, Midwest UAHC Education Consultant, who came from Denver for the event. The event was hosted by South Street Temple, with additional support from the Lincoln Jewish Federation and the UAHC. Cantor Michael Weisser began the day by leading the group in several Hebrew songs. Mixed groups of children and adults studied passages from the Torah and then created freeze frames to dramatize the stories. With no scenery or props, the group saw the heavens and earth created, Sarah's death and burial, the deception of a blind Isaac by Esau and more. Following, each group created collages that further illustrated their Torah portion. Families created their own 'family Torah," reflecting the family's Jewish life and values. Each construction was unique, using materials including confetti, pipe cleaners, tissue papers and magazine photos. With Ms. Reshotko, a professional dancer, as the leader, the group revealed their hidden talents for Israeli dancing and had a great time in the process. The event provided a wonderful opportunity for parents to get to know each other and become more aware of the key role they play in their children's Jewish education. But most of all, it was loads of fun.

By Rabbi M. Mendel Katzman Today, May 3, is Petack Sheni (second Pesach hebrew), a holiday which was instituted in the second year after the Ebcodus' from Egypt. When the Jewish people prepared their Pesach sacrifices, several individuals could not participate because they were impure; they had come in contact with a human corpse (Joseph's coffin). They came before Moshe and said, 'We are unclean. . .but why should we be held back from bringing the offering of G-d in its time?" In response to their outcry, G-d gave them an opportunity to make amends after the requisite purification and instituted Pesach Sheni on the 14thof lyar. Peaach Sheni teaches us that "Nothing is ever lost." Our conduct can always be rectified. Every individual, no matter what the situation may be, has the potential to make a leap forward (literal translation of the Hebrew word Pesach) in service of G-d. Although Pe»ach Sheni was initially instituted for those who had not offered the Pesach sacrifice in its proper time, its spiritual expression in our divine service is relevant to all Jews, even those who have celebrated Pesach as completely as possible. The Pesach sacrifice was intended to motivate every individual to leave his/her personal Egypt, to make a radical departure from his/her previous spiritual state and approach a new, continuous process. No matter what heights a person has reached, one cannot remain content with the level attained and must always seek to advance further. The G-dly potential within us is infinite. The pattern of continuous growth is associated with "appearing before G-d in Zion." May the personal growth motivated by Petach Sheni, prepare us for the time when the Temple in Jerusalem will be built,.and we will partake in the Pesach and other festive offerings.
