hen Staenberg Omaha JCC Performing Arts Director, Esther Katz, thinks about the long-term impact of the JCC theater program, she thinks of all the individuals who have participated in or watched their numerous productions. She is amazed at how these relatively brief moments on stage can create such strong connections within the community. “Our Performing Arts programs reach far beyond the stage. When I run Maxine after a performance in our Alan J. Levine Performing Arts into community members who particTheater ipated in our program years ago, they still tell me their stories. I listen as they recount their fond and memories they gained here into whatever path they memories. These encounters remind me that the experi- choose.

JONNIE ROBINSON Assistant Director of Community Engagement and Education There is something special about arriving to a new community. There are new places to discover, new faces to meet and, hopefully, new friendships waiting to be made. If you’re new to Omaha, recently moved here, thinking about making Omaha home, or simply visiting before making the move, we want to hear from you! We’d love the opportunity to help you get connected and begin finding your place in our community. And being “new” doesn’t always mean you just arrived. Maybe you have been in Omaha for a while but haven’t yet found your place in the Jewish community. Maybe you grew up here, moved away and are now
back. Or perhaps you are looking to reconnect with Jewish life, people and community after some time away. Wherever you are in your journey, we want to help you find a personal connection and a place where you feel you belong. At the Jewish Federation of Omaha, ShalOmaha is one of the ways we help newcomers, and those looking to reconnect, find their way into our community. Our goal is simple: to make sure new friends know they have a place here. And there is truly something for everyone. Whether you are looking to connect with a synagogue, meet people your age, find educational or cultural opportunities, get involved through volunteering, attend community events, or simply learn more about Jewish life in Omaha, we would love to help you find the right connection. Moving can be a big transition, and sometimes the hardest part is knowing where to begin. Let ShalOmaha be your first stop. We can help introduce you to the people, programs and possibilities that make Omaha’s Jewish community such a welcoming place. See ShalOmaha page 2
Oy Vey, we’re going to laugh! JESS COHEN Chabad Comedy Night brings Jewish humor, kosher deli and a night out to the Funny Bone There are few things more Jewish than gathering around a table, eating a kosher deli meal and laughing together. Add a comedy club, a hilarious Jewish comedian and a Monday night with nowhere else you need to be — and you have the makings of a very good evening. Chabad Comedy Night is coming to the Funny Bone on Monday, Oct. 26, featuring comedian Gary Vider, and it promises to be a night of great food, great company and plenty of laughs. Vider is an acclaimed New York City- based comedian who reached the finals of Season 10 of America’s Got Talent. He is known for his dry, deadpan delivery along with selfdeprecating humor with relatable topics focused on marriage and parenting. Vider brings a distinctly
Jewish perspective to the stage, finding the humor in the everyday experiences, family dynamics and quirks that make life so wonderfully — and sometimes hilariously — Jewish. Whether you grew up on Jewish humor or simply appreciate a good laugh, his comedy is sure to hit close to home. And because no Jewish gathering is complete without something good to eat, guests will enjoy kosher deli food while taking in the show. Think classic Jewish comfort food paired with live comedy — a combination that may be even better See Comedy page 2

Performing Arts
Continued from page 1 been providing classes for over 50 years. The community theater program was added in 2010, and participation has steadily increased over the past 16 years. Community theater productions have traditionally been limited to one, all-ages cast, but recently junior level and adult level productions were added. The Performing Art Department has also expanded their class catalogue to include music and voice lessons, private acting coaching, prop shop stage production classes, improv, and acting classes for all ages. Esther credits the growth and success of the program to the participation and passion of the community. “Maxine Noodell is a community member I think about when I think back to where we started,” Katz said. “For years, Maxine would walk by my office each week, stop in to say hello, and ask when we were going to get some kind of theater program going again at the J. She would tell me stories of days gone by and reminisce about her own time on the stage. When we were finally able to make her request a reality, we were lucky enough to have her grace our stage once again. She participated for many years. Now she comes and watches our performances. She still gets to be a part of our theater community, which is special.” The program's ability to touch the lives of audience members is another special benefit. Each year residents from the Rose Blumkin Jewish Home come over to the JCC to watch performance dress rehearsals. “They really seem to enjoy it,” Katz says “Which is a big part of why we do this. Connecting the community is at the heart of this program. We have the unique ability to make a difference across so many age groups. When I see kids who have come through our theater program or hear that one of our former students is heading to Columbia University this year to study theater, my heart is filled with pride knowing that their journey began here.” “There are multiple examples like this,” Katz says. “There was a student who began as a child actor in our theater program. Years later, when she was looking for a job, she remembered the JCC as a place that had always felt warm, welcoming, and like home. She applied for an open part-time position and now has grown into a full-time administrative role. Her story is just one of countless examples of how the connections we make through this program can last a lifetime.” Examples like these are what make Katz so incredibly proud of the JCC Performing Arts program.
“We may measure our success in productions, performances, and full houses, but our greatest measure of success is the people who walk through our doors, find a place where they belong, discover something they didn't know they could do, and carry that experience with them for years to come. That,” she said, “is true impact.” If you would like to get involved in the Staenberg Omaha JCC Performing Arts program, please visit jccomaha.org for a listing of upcoming theater auditions, productions, and classes.
JCC Theater auditions for Rumors set for Oct. 4
IDAN ZACCAI BBYO & Teen Program Director When people talk about the Jewish Federation of Omaha Foundation, a common perception is that it is a place solely reserved for major philanthropists or multimillion-dollar endowments. Because of this, it is easily the most misunderstood agency in our community.
LYNN BATTEN JFO Content Coordinator/Gallery Manager The Staenberg Omaha JCC Performing Arts Department is excited to announce that Rumors by Neil Simon will be their next Black Box Theater production. Rumors is a charming farce full of gags and twists, but it also borrows from Simon’s life experience to depict the challenges, as well as the comforts, of married life. Auditions are open to all adults, ages 18+, and will be held on Sunday, Oct. 4 from 4:30-6 p.m. Registration is required to audition. Registration can be completed online at jccomaha.org or by emailing Sophie Knauss at sknauss@jccomaha.org. The audition fee is $10 for JCC members and $15 for non-members. If you are selected as a member of the cast, you will be responsible for the full program payment of $118 for JCC members and $157 for non-members. Casting will include 8 main roles and 2 supporting roles. Auditions will consist of cold reads from the script. Those who wish to audition do not need to prepare any materials in advance. Rehearsals for the production will be held Oct. 14 to Feb. 14 on Sundays, from 4:30–6:30 p.m. The final performances will be held on Saturday, Feb. 20 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, Feb. 21 at 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. Black Box Theater productions are held in the Linda K. & Nelson Gordman Black Box Theater. This smaller, intimate setting provides a special space for actors and audience to experience a different type of theater.

Yet, true to its name, the Foundation is the bedrock of everything we do. It is not an abstract financial institution; it is the quiet, reliable foundation taking care of our collective future. A building cannot stand without a solid base, and a Jewish community cannot thrive without sustained resources to protect its continuity, institutions, and values for generations to come. Working here, I have felt deeply fortunate to connect with so many wonderful and caring people. One of the greatest privileges of my role was sitting down with community members, hearing their stories and getting to know our community members better. One of the Foundation’s most important endowment fund is: Pay It Forward, which holds a particularly special place in my heart. When my wife Esther and I decided to commit to this program, the choice came directly from our own lived experience. Years ago, when our children needed support for their Jewish education, our community stepped forward with vital scholarship assistance. That support made a profound difference in our family’s lives. Because Pay It Forward is directly dedicated to Jewish education, giving back through this initiative felt natural and deeply personal. We wanted to make sure that other families and future generations of children have access to the same transformative educational opportunities that lifted ours. This touches on why the misconception about the Foundation matters so much: giving is not just for the wealthy. Pay It Forward was built for everyone. Any contribution is welcomed, a Chai-level gift ($18) every month makes an enduring impact. Through the power of investment and time, that small, consistent gift can grow over 40 years into $100,000 to fund future scholarships and learning. Every single member of our community has the power to shape tomorrow. Building a lasting future doesn’t require a fortune, it simply requires caring enough to take part. Through Pay It Forward, we join hands to help ensure that the Foundation supporting our children’s education remains strong for generations to come. “As Idan departs the JFO Foundation to dedicate more time to BBYO, I am deeply grateful for his interest in philanthropy and his commitment to learning about the Foundation and the work we do,” said Amy Bernstein-Shivvers, Executive Director of the JFO Foundation. “What began as an internship grew into a 12-houra-week role as our Coordinator, giving Idan the opportunity to experience philanthropy from the inside and see the impact it can have on our community. He especially embraced the spirit of Pay It Forward and understood its meaningful message: building a culture of generosity doesn’t require a fortune; it simply requires each of us to take part. We are grateful for all that Idan has contributed to the Foundation and wish him continued success as he focuses on his work with BBYO. I know he will carry the spirit of Pay It Forward with him wherever his path leads.” To learn more about Pay It Forward and the Foundation’s work, please visit jfofoundation.org or call 402.334.6466.

Jewish students’ Bill of Rights empowers Update from the IHE schools to address antisemitism
HEIDI HEILBRUNN JCRC & IHE Program and Communications Manager Jewish Federations of North America released the Jewish Students’ Bill of Rights in partnership with the American Jewish Committee, the Anti-Defamation League, the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, StandWithUs, and the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs. With antisemitism on the rise, the Student Bill of Rights provides a framework for addressing antisemitism and protecting Jewish students in educational settings. Since 2020, antisemitic incidents in K–12 schools have increased by more than 400%. Survey data also indicates that 71% of Jewish teens in the United States and Canada have experienced antisemitism since Oct. 7, 2023. Locally, the Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) and the Institute for Holocaust Education (IHE), which work closely with schools across Nebraska, will use the Student Bill of Rights as a guiding framework in their work with local educators and school communities. The JFNA Student Bill of Rights calls on schools to implement these six standards: 1. Ensuring that administrators and staff are equipped to identify antisemitism and the ways it manifests in modern educational environments. 2. Maintaining a clear, transparent process for reporting and responding to antisemitic incidents following all applicable laws and with the same gravity afforded to all other hate and bias incidents, with assurance of accountability and follow-through. 3. Ensuring that all teaching about Jewish culture, diversity, history, the Holocaust, antisemitism, and Israel is accurate and representative. 4. Treating religious observances as excused absences and avoiding scheduling school events on widely celebrated holidays. 5. Protecting Jewish students’ right to express their identity and fully participate in all aspects of school life without religious coercion, bullying, or pressure to distance themselves from any aspects of that identity, including their connection to Israel.
6. Assuring that educators and curricula present contested issues in a balanced way rather than using the classroom to advance specific political or ideological viewpoints. JFNA is raising awareness among Jewish parents, educators, and the broader public about these standards to help ensure every student feels safe, respected, and welcome at school, including Jewish students. Locally, JCRC offers antisemitism awareness training for teachers and administrators, responds to antisemitic incidents and meets with students to help them understand the impact of bullying and harassment. Programs such as Student to Student and the Peer Empowerment Workshop (P.E.W.) engage students early, creating opportunities to learn about Jewish life, explore personal biases, and build the skills needed to prevent hate-based bullying. IHE provides educational programs that help students connect with the experiences of people directly impacted by the Holocaust, moving beyond viewing the Holocaust solely as a moment in history. Through these programs, students have opportunities to learn from personal stories and better understand the human impact of prejudice and hatred. Together, these programs give students opportunities to learn from classmates and others with different experiences, beliefs, and cultures. By encouraging understanding and respect for those differences, they help build stronger, more inclusive schools and communities. Every day, JCRC and IHE work both independently and together to build a community that is educated, inclusive, and understands the lasting impact of hate and antisemitism. If your student experiences antisemitism at school, you can report it through JCRC using the Incident Reporting Form - Jewish Federation of Omaha. If you have questions or want to learn more about IHE and JCRC programming, please visit our websites. IHE: https://ihene.org, JCRC: https://www.jewishomaha.org/inspirechange/jcrc
JCRC presents updated non-partisan Jewish Voters’ Guide for the November elections HEIDI HEILBRUNN JCRC Program and Communications Manager The Jewish Community Relations Council ( JCRC) has once again published a nonpartisan Jewish Voters’ Guide to help Jewish voters better understand candidates’ positions and priorities ahead of the November elections.

jewish-voter-guide/ Candidates were asked five questions focused on antisemitism and issues affecting the Jewish community, along with additional questions specific to their race. Topics include antisemitism, Israel and Middle East foreign policy, education, democracy and civic norms, healthcare, the economy, and government accountability. The candidates featured in the guide are those who submitted responses. Candidates who are not listed did not respond to JCRC’s request.

Past, Present, Future Samuel Bak Museum: The Learning Center is a space where art is the gateway to a conversation on human rights, Holocaust education, and genocide. The fall 2026 exhibition Past, Present, Futures runs through December 20, and features the artists Samuel Bak, April Bey, Ken Gonzales-Day, Jeannette Ehlers, Letitia Huckaby, Harmonia Rosales, and Shawn Theodore. The exhibit focuses on the role of art and art history in the formation of historical narratives. The artists reimagine traditional European portraiture to highlight overlooked histories, and explore how art shapes the way we understand the past, and celebrate the strength and renewal of cultures after oppression. IHE at The Durham Museum’s Teachers’ Night Friday, Oct. 2, 2026 from 4–7 p.m., the Institute for Holocaust Education (IHE) is honored to participate in The Durham Museum’s 23rd Annual Teachers’ Night, a special evening celebrating and appreciating educators. Friday, Oct. 2, 2026 from 4–7 p.m. Teachers are invited to explore a resource fair featuring organizations and educational resources from across the community. IHE will be on hand to share information about its five middle-school and four highschool programs, designed to help students engage with the history of the Holocaust through survivor testimony, personal stories, and other educational resources. Anne Frank Traveling Exhibit: A History for Today Anne Frank: A History for Today is a powerful traveling exhibit that tells Anne Frank’s story while helping visitors understand the broader history of the Holocaust and World War II. Developed through a partnership between the Institute for Holocaust Education, the University of South Carolina’s Anne Frank Center, and the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam, the bilingual, 32-panel exhibit combines photographs, excerpts from Anne’s diary, and historical information. The exhibit encourages meaningful conversations about human rights, tolerance, and the importance of standing up against prejudice and discrimination. The exhibit is primarily hosted in middle and high schools and includes a student leadership opportunity. Students are trained to become peer guides who lead visitors through the exhibit and share what they have learned about Anne Frank and her experiences. The program helps students think critically, build empathy, and understand the importance of standing up against prejudice and discrimination. Most schools also host a Community Night, where families and the public can visit the exhibit and learn from the student guides. The Institute for Holocaust Education’s goal is to ensure that the tragedy and history of the Holocaust are ree membered, that appropriMONUMENT CO. ate, fact-based instruction Family Owned and materials are available and Operated to students, educators, and the public to enable them to Over 60 Years Experience With Jewish learn the lessons of the Lettering and Memorials Holocaust and that, as a result, we inspire our commu1439 So. 13th nity to create a more just and equitable society.

HONORING THE AGED PROGRAM 40 individuals attended the “Honoring the Aged” event on September 1. Professor Israel Doron, internationally recognized gerontologist, was the guest speaker. Professor Doron's presentation made a profound impact by shifting the narrative on aging from one of institutional decline to one of empowerment and active dignity. He spoke directly to the lived experience of the older adults in attendance, emphasizing the vital role older adults play as active, dignified leaders in our community. This program was sponsored by a grant from the Shirley and Leonard Goldstein Supporting Foundation and presented by Jewish Family Service in partnership with UNL's Gerontology Department. Jewish Family Service is an agency of the Jewish Federation of Omaha.

Questionable Headlines ANNETTE VAN DE KAMP-WRIGHT Jewish Press Editor The other day, I was reading through news stories, together with my cousin. We were discussing a recent wolf attack back home, near where we both grew up and where she still lives. A six-year-old boy had been grabbed by a full-grown wolf, and dragged between the trees. The boy survived, but the bites were serious. Some headlines said just that: “Boy dragged into forest by wolf.” Some used the word “allegedly,” and others said “it appeared to be a wolf,” and mentioned the boy was “lightly injured.” I explained to her that you can often tell by the headline exactly where a journalist’s head is at. Those who reside in urban areas, away from those pesky wolves, are all for protecting nature. Those who live in the countryside have by now seen so many examples of slaughtered livestock, they are more than ready to fight those wolves. Headlines, divorced from the actual facts, tell a story on their own. And considering there are many people (I suspect) who only read the headlines, that’s a bit concerning. Take this one, for example: “Far-right win in German regional race sends shockwaves through Europe.” Shockwaves, really? First off, yes, those election results are bad. Really bad. However, they should not be sur-
prising—let alone causing “shockwaves.” No one who paid attention to European politics should be surprised. The horseshoe theory works just as well for Europe as it does in the USA: the left gets more left, the right veers more right, and they meet in the other middle. Meanwhile, the regular middle is where most people live, ignoring Credit: Clement Bardot, liwarning censed under the Creative the Attributionhappily Commons signs, going about their Share Alike 4.0 International day. If only they’d license. paid attention, they could have seen this coming. Here is another great one, from the Guardian: “Could AI really wipe out humanity and hijack the internet?”In that order? Perhaps. If the font is big enough, we’ll believe anything. Or this, from our local KETV: “About 6 near collisions occur at US airports monthly as safety recommendations go unaddressed.” What happens when we only read the head-
line, but don’t look at the story behind it? We might decide flying’s not for us. Headlines shouldn’t tell you much more than the topic of the article; it is an invitation to read the whole story, and not jump to conclusions. At the same time, we’re often harried and distracted, and it’s nearly impossible to avoid consuming “highlight-only” news when we are online. We don’t dig and research, we scroll. Scrolling leads to headline-only behavior. I know for a fact I am guilty of it.And here is a small detail we rarely address: the person whose byline is on the article (any article) has an agenda. We all want to tell you something, teach you something you didn’t know before. In many cases, the story we want to get across is fairly innocuous. We want you to come to an event, we want to warn you about impending bad weather, we want to share something about road construction or tell you there’s another sinkhole somewhere uptown. But sometimes, we try to convince you AI really will kill you (any day now) or those wolves are cute and not dangerous at all. If you meet one in the wild, it will be fine. True objectivity in a headline, it’s not a thing. There is always an agenda. So ask yourself: what’s the angle? Is the headline inviting me to learn more and educate myself, or is it trying to sell me a bill of goods?
Don’t Just Thank Your Rabbis. RABBI SHIRA KOCH EPSTEIN AND FAITH LEENER JTA On Rosh Hashanah morning, a rabbi stood in front of you, in front of God, having spent weeks preparing for this exact moment, praying they could somehow reach everyone in front of them. Maybe you are a regular, and they know exactly what this year gave you and cost you. Maybe you haven’t set foot in a synagogue in a while, and they know only that you came, carrying something you haven’t named, maybe even to yourself. Either way, they want the same thing for you that our tradition asks of this whole season: teshuvah, literally a returning, to yourself, to the people beside you, to something larger than either. They are trying to turn a room of strangers and regulars alike into a community, and to help you walk out having moved, even slightly, closer to who you’re capable of being. This season is when rabbis are most visible. But much, if not most, of rabbinic leadership happens out of view: in pastoral calls, hospital rooms, hours of study and preparation, and the slow work of building relationships. Because so much of this work is unseen, it is easy to treat the pressures of the role as the rabbis’ alone to manage. Yet the challenge is bigger than individual workload. Rabbis are asked to be spiritual leaders, pastoral caregivers, educators, fundraisers, administrators and community organizers.. The work that is easiest to see and measure can crowd out the work that matters most: the conversation that takes an hour, the hospital visit that changes a family’s experience of loss, the time needed to listen, study and prepare. When no one decides what matters most, the deadline decides for us. One of us is a rabbi, and both of us work closely with rabbis across the country through Atra: Center for Rabbinic Innovation. We train and
support rabbis, study the changing rabbinate and bring together rabbis and the institutions that recruit, employ and sustain them. We have also been gathering stories of rabbinic impact: the moments, often known only to those involved, when a rabbi changed the course of a life. Again and again, we hear the same tension. What people value most from rabbis — time, trust, wisdom and presence — is often the work most easily crowded out. One rabbi told us about calling the mother of a dying congregant. The woman lived far from a Jewish community and had no rabbi of her own. The rabbi stayed on the phone for a long time, asking questions and listening. Later, the woman said she had felt held during one of the most painful moments of her life. No one will ever count that hour. The woman will not become a member or appear in an attendance report. Yet most of us would recognize that conversation as exactly what a rabbi is for. At the same time, the budget memo is due. The Zoom link is broken. A vendor needs an answer. In many communities, the rabbi is also the office manager, volunteer coordinator, fundraiser and tech support. When a congregant calls in the middle of all that, the rabbi may answer with one eye on the clock. What feels like indifference can be a calendar that treats a newsletter as more urgent than a person, because the newsletter has a deadline and the person does not. This is not an argument for lowering expectations or protecting rabbis from accountability. Communities should expect thoughtful leadership, serious preparation and responsible stewardship. But accountability works only when expectations, priorities and resources are aligned. Too often, “the rabbi’s job” means whatever no one else has claimed. A board may focus on membership and attendance while a rabbi may think about the phone call no one wit-
nessed, a hospital visit never logged, or a conversation that unfolded in a run-in at the grocery store. Both matter. The trouble begins when no one has named the difference or decided together what success should look like. Our storytelling project has taught us something else: Rabbis often have no idea when they have made a difference. During hospital chaplaincy training, one rabbi worked overnight shifts. One night, an elderly woman was dying, and her daughter asked him to sing Psalm 23 at the bedside. By morning, after many other visits and on the heels of a long year of losses, he could barely recall the encounter. Two weeks later, a letter arrived. The daughter wrote that his presence had been an inexpressible comfort. He had almost forgotten the moment that had meant everything to her. Rabbis hear quickly when a sermon disappoints, a service runs long, or a program falls flat. They hear less often that a conversation stayed with someone for years. A thank-you note cannot fix an impossible job. But it can remind a rabbi why the work matters, and it can encourage them on days when it all feels too much. Among people in Atra’s study who considered rabbinical school but did not enroll, 38% said they were strongly deterred by the fear that the career would be too demanding or all-consuming. This cannot be solved by asking individual rabbis to become more resilient. Rabbis need to be honest about their limits. Boards and employers need to decide what work matters most and what can be shared. The Jewish community gets the rabbinate it creates the conditions for. So perhaps our accounting this year should include more than whether we remembered to thank our rabbis. We might also ask what we have asked of them — and whether we have made it possible for them to do the work we value most.

a truck, or even a bicycle. Some people have built them on boats or in trees, but of course your backyard, balcony or deck suffices. The Zohar says there are seven guests who visit the sukkah every day of the festival. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Aaron, Joseph and David all stop by. They are known as ‘the seven shepherds.’ You can even invite them by saying a special blessing. Although we shake the lulav and etrog every day, we skip that part on Shabbat, so we don’t
accidentally carry it through a public space. By rabbinic decree, they are set aside as ‘Mukzteh,’ which are objects we are forbidden to handle on Shabbat. The scientific name for etrog is ‘citrus medica.’ and no, you cannot simply substitute a lemon. And if you want to know what else you can’t and shouldn’t do, watch the 2004 Israeli film Usphizin. After the holiday is over, though, you can use your etrog in a variety of recipes.

Did you know... ANNETTE VAN DE KAMP-WRIGHT Jewish Press Editor The holiday of Sukkot always begins on the full moon. The Hebrew word ‘Sukkot’ means ‘booth’ or ‘shelter,’ and the sukkah is meant to remind us of sheltering in the desert after fleeing Egypt. In the desert, that shelter came in the form of protective clouds, the Talmud tells us. As long as it is open to the sky, a sukkah can be built anywhere. Yes, it can be on the back of
