What Is a Jew?

All peoples, it seems, are
created equal, but at the same
time they are all a little differ-
ent, for which we may be thank-
ful.
What's different about Jews?
Jewish sayings give us many
insights. There is one which sayS,
Jews always say the opposite
thing. If one Jew says "Shalom
Aleichem," the other replies
"Aleichem Shalom."
That 'recalls the story of the
non-Jew who attended a wedding
in Israel. He was troubled about
his lack of knowledge of Hebrew,
but he was • advised that at a
wedding, there was no occasion
for concern. People would sim-
ply be "Shalom Aleicheming" all
over the place, and if one greeted
him with "Shalom Aleichem," all
he had to do was to simply re-
verse it and say "Aleichem Sha-
lom." Well, it happened that
someone greeted him with "Mazel
Tov." -
"Tough Mazel," he responded.
There is another Jewish say-
ing to the effect that "Jews are
very generous. If you give
them a "Guten Morgen," they
- return "Guten Yahr." That is
very generous, a whole year for
one morning.
Then there is the one which
says: _"It is good to eat kugel
with a Jew." Kugel is pudding,
and I never could understand
why, if it is good to eat pudding
with a Jew, it shouldn't also be
good to eat chicken or pie a la
mode with him.
However, there is another
school which qualifies the idea
somewhat. This school says: "It
is good to eat kugel with a Jew
but not from the same plate."
I detect a slight note of self-
criticism in the saying. In fact,
among us Jews we get away with
criticism which we would not
take from an outsider. We would
call an outsider an anti-Semite
for saying the same things. But
self-criticism is a very healthy
thing. It is the criticism of others.
that is malicious.
A tribute to the essential good
quality of the Jews is to be found
in the saying: "Zwishen Yiden
vert men nit ferfallen." One is
not lost among Jews. That is to
say, in times of emergency, they
can always be counted on to help
you.
Jews are called the "Chosen
People," but -Jewish sayings do
not seem to show that Jews were
too happy over being privileged
in this manner.
"Whenever a stone is thrown,
it hits :a Jew," says one Yiddish
saying. And what is a Jewish
pleasure? "A Jewish pleasure is
a cool Tisha b'Ab" (fast day).
Again there is the saying,
"Without miracles, a Jew can-
not live." "A Jew," says an all-
embracing saying, "is a gard-
ener on Shevot, a house
builder on Sukkot, a baker on
Pesach and a horn blower on
Yom Kippur."
That about tells the story in
a nutshell. What is a Jew? What
isn't a Jew! •

NOODLE PUDDING DELIGHT

An adaptation of an old Jewish
favorite, noodle kugel, won a
$400 prize in the recent "Cook
with Ketchup" contest spOnsored
by H. J. Heinz Company, makers
of the 57 Varieties.
Noodle Pudding Delight, award
winning recipe of Mrs. Norman
Sommer, 5739 Drexel Road,
Philadelphia, combines broad
noodles, pineapple and raisins
for a hearty, delicious baked des-
sert. It calls for salad oil instead
of suet as do many old kugel
recipes.

But the ingredient that made
it eligible for the prize and, in
addition, lends a welcome spici-
ness -to its flavor is tomato ket-
chup. Incidentally the dish is
"parve," which is a convenience
all Jewish housewives will ap-
preciate. Here is the recipe:

NOODLE PUDDING DELIGHT
2 cups medium broad noodles
2 eggs
3 tablespoons Heinz Tomato Ketchup
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Dash salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 tablespoons salad oil
1 can (1 pound, 4 ounces) crushed
pineapple, drr aa i

Heat oven to 400 degrees F. (moder-
ately hot). •CoOk noodles in boiling
salted water until tender, drain; rinse.
Beat eggs with next 5 ingredients until
well blended. Add noodles; stir in salad
oil. Add - pineapple and raisins; turn
mixture into greased 112 quart cas-
serole or individual casseroles. Bake
40-4-5 minutes or until mixture is set.
Serve hot. Makes 6-8 servings.

Turkish Anti-Semite
Emulates 'Protocols

1

ISTANBUL, (JTA)—A notori-
ous Turkish anti-Semite, Cevat

Rifat Atilhan, has published a
new book patterned after the
forged "Protocols of the Elders
of Zion." The book, "Secret State
and Program of Conspiracy," is
replete with slanders against
Israel, all Jews, the Talmud and
Jewish religion in general.
The Istanbul Jewish press has
urged the Turkish Grand Rab-
binate to make a formal com-
plaint against the book - and
author to the authorities and to
ask that the book be banned.

invasion of Israel in 1948 tried
to recruit troops in Turkey to
