FOODS TO REMEMBER
By LEAH LEONARD
From Mrs. Moses Hoffenson,
1199 N. E. 102nd St., Miami
Shores, Fla., we received the fol
lowing recipe for an easy-to-make
Danish Pastry dough that you’ll
find the answer to every hostess’
prayer, especially when her time
is limited and her standards are
tops. Try it and be convinced. We
thank Mrs. H from the bottom of
our heart, and so will you. Here
it is:
DANISH PASTRY DOUGH
1 package yeast
Vi cup lukewarm water
Vi teaspoon sugar
1 pound butter (salted pre
ferred’
5 cups sifted flour
2 tablespoons sugar
4 eggs, separated
1 teaspoon vanilla
Stir together yeast, lukewarm
water and sugar till dissolved.
Cream the butter in a warm bowl.
Sift together flour and sugar on
a kneading board and make a de
pression in the center. Stir in the
yeast mixture and one whole egg
then work in the softened butter
and remaining 3 yolks and vanil
la flavoring. Knead by hand till
the dough forms a compact mass
that does not stick to the hands.
Wrap in aluminum foil and re
frigerate overnight or at least 8
hours. When ready to bake, divide
the ball of dough into 4 equal
parts. Roll out each portion on a
lightly floured board into a circle
not more than 1/4 inch thick.
Cut into 4 or 6 wedges, place
fruit filling near the wide edges
and roll up lightly. Form into
horns, brush lightly with beaten
egg white, dust lightly with
powdered sugar and bake at 375’
F for 15 minutes, reduce heat
to 350’ F and continue baking
for 20 to 25 minutes or till nice
ly browned.
Fillings may be Lacqua (prune
butter) to which fine cracker or
cookie crumbs are added in any
desired proportions: chopped
dried fruits moistened with
orange or lemon juice and sweet
ened to taste then mixed with
crumbs or chopped nuts; or, 50/50
cottage and cream cheese en
riched with egg whites, sugar,
cinnamon, grated lemon rind and
chopped nuts and/or raisins as
desired.

“Admirers of my mother’s kit

she cooked, the angels sang, “Sol
Fox relates in the February 1
issue of the Saturday Evening
Post.
“We weren’t angels, my father,
my two brothers and I,” he con
tinues, “but when she served our
big meal of the week at Friday
dinner we sang. It is Orthodox-
Jewish custom to greet the Sab
bath-eve meal with song, and we
honored that custom.
But, more naturally, we sang

Will SOCIAL SECURITY
MEET THEIR DEMANDS?
Sure, Social Security would be
a big help if you should die
tomorrow. But, could your
family get along on $16} per
month? That’s all a widow
and one child would get even
if they were entitled to maxi
mum coverage. I have a guar
anteed insurance plan which,
with S. S., would enable your
loved ones to maintain their
present standards of living.
May I tell you all about it?

because there was simply no
other way to express our sheer
joy with the delights of her
table.”
Fox’s article, "Secrets From
My Mother’s Kitchen,” says that
even now, on a Friday afternoon,
good things begin to happen to
him. His mouth waters. His
stomach juices stir. His mind fills
with the sound and smell and
flavor of a time long gone, but
well remembered.
“Her food was kosher, which in
Hebrew means ‘clean’, a word
describing the system of dietary
laws adopted thousands of years
ago,” Fox writes. “As command
ed we shunned all trayf—“un
clean’ foods, including shellfish
and pork.
“We ate only fish with scales
and fins; specified fowl; and
meat from animals which chew
the cud, though even from those
animals not the hind-quarters.
Our beef and veal and lamb had
to be freshly slaughtered in the
most merciful way by a shochet,
specially trained for this ritual
task by rabbis.”
Meat and meat products, it is
related, were flayshedicks, one of
the three categories of kosher
food. Milk and its derivatives
were grouped as milchdicks, and
might not be eaten at the same
time as meat, or from the same
utensils. Parve, or “neutral,”
foods including eggs, fish and all
fruits and vegetables could be
eaten with either milk or meat.
Fox tells that his mother left
no recipes, but his aunts have
supplied the record. They learn
ed to cook as his mother learned,
and they cook in the mode of his
mother. Their directions are giv
en for Gefilte Fish; Knadlach,
for Chicken Soup; Matzo Meal
Dressing for Roast Chicken; and
Blintzes.
The author says that some of
the things his mother prepared
are now available in heat-and-
eat packages. He admits some
are quite good, almost as good as
his mother’s.
“But they aren’t the same," he
concludes. “Nothing is, of course."

Wrestling Rabbi

ling Rabbi from Israel, has re

START OF SHIPPING LINE
OWNED BY ISRAEL, GHANA
HONORED BY STAMP ISSUE
Through the use of investment capital
■derived from State of Israel Bonds,
which expand every facet of her
economic development, Israel has
strengthened her trade relations with
many nations of the free world. Israel
recently entered into a partnership with
the Government of Ghana, with the
formation of a jointly-owned shipping
concern, called the Black Star Line. To
commemorate the inauguration of the
shipping company, Ghana this week
announced the issuance of a set of
stamps in the following colors and
denominations: green, 2 l /j-pence; blue,
1 shilling, threepence; and lavender, 5
shillings. Shown above is the 5-shilling
stamp, whirli depicts a modern cargo
vessel, together with ■ flying fish within
a shield topped hy a black star. The
stamps were printed in Israel and
designed hy Willie W. Wind, leading
Israeli artist and stamp designer.
U N Challenged
To Take Up Jewish
Minority Rights
UNITED NATIONS, (AJP) —
Dr. Isaac Lewin, Yeshiva Univer
sity professor and chairman of
the American section of the
Agudas Israel World Executive,
challenged the UN this week to
give serious consideration to
Jewish minority rights in coun
tries where discrimination is still
practiced.
Dr. Lewin spoke before the
Subcommission on Prevention of
Discrimination and Protection of
Minorities of the Commission on
Human Rights which opened its
session last week.
Dr. Lewin, who has represent
ed his organization during the
past several years and presented
timely documents in the defense
of Jewish religious rights before
the Commission, spoke on “he
Studies in the field of Discrimi
nation and Religious Rights and
Practices”—an item which was
originally placed on the agenda
of the Subcommission on his
initiative. Among the many mat
ters brought up by Dr. Lewin
was the question of Shechitah
which, he said, is being vigor
ously fought by a number of
anti-Jewish groups here and
abroad.
