N.Y. Rabbis Debate
Sabbath Carrying Law
NEW YORK, (JTA)—Should
the island of Manhattan be
treated as a "domain" in Jew-
ish religious law -which would
remove the prohibition against
"carrying" by Jews in Manhat-
tan on the Sabha*?
A lively rabbinic argument
is underway on the proposal,
the Young Israel Viewpoint re-
ported. It said Hapardes, a rab-
binic journal edited by Rabbi
Simcha Elberg, which reflects
the views of the Union of Or-
thodox Rabbis of the United
States and Canada. has had a
series of dissertations on the
project.
Under Jewish religious:law, a
Jew may not move an :object
from one domain to another on
the Sabbath. The law, hoWever,
permits the legal fiction of an
Ertiv. a fence surrounding the
entire area which makes it
legally a single domain.
Many European towns and
cities in Israel have been so
de,i ,..mated by rabbinic authori-
ties at various times, thus re-
moving the restritcion against
carrying on the Sabbath.
Most
rabbinic
authorities,

point. agreed on the possibility
of designating Manhattan as a
domain by an Eruv. The objet- i

Now that I'm on Broadway, my friends ask me, "What's the
difference between Broadway and Second Avenue?" I answer
them in one word. "Money." On Broadway, everything's .a
production. For instance, the musical I'm in now, "Milk and
Honey," they tell me cost 4Q0,000 before the curtain even
went up. On Second Avenue, we would have been happy
to take IN that much at the end of a long successful run.
Which reminds me of a story my cousin used to tell. Her hus-
band never made more than a modest living. Once, after
having had dinner at his boss's house, he came home raving.,
"You should see the house Mr. Werner lives in. And food.
Is his wife a cook! She made a tzimis (that's a Jewish
souffle) out of eggs and honey and cream and cheese and
raisins. Why can't you cook like that?" To which my cousin
replied, "I can. Just give me money for eggs." "Leave out
the eggs," he cried. "But I have to buy the honey," she said.
"Who needs honey?" Well, as you've guessed by now, she
was forced to make the tzimis wihout the eggs, honey, cream,
cheese and raisins. When she put it in front of him he took
onc taste and said, "Pfuil This is what rich people eat?"
I've often wondered what my poor cousin did put into that
tzimis. You know, you can't make something out of nothing.
The more I serve Rokeach Gefilte Fish, the more I realize it.
Believe me, there's a dish that's something. Naturally,
Rokeach doesn't skimp on ingredients. They use only fresh-

Like Twain, Sholom Aleichem
was a pen name. It means
"peace be unto you". Alei-
chem's real name was Solon in
Rabinowitz. He was born in
Pereyaslev, a small town in the
Ukraine. He left Russia in 1903
after a pogrom in Kiev and
alternated his residence between
Switzerland and Italy. He was
in Germany in 1914 when World
War I began and left for Den-
mark.
He came to the U.S. in De-
cember, 1914, and lived at 968
Kelly Street, the Bronx. More
than 100,000 persons witnessed
his funeral procession on May
16, 1916, on the Lower East
Side. He was buried in Mount
Neboh Cemetery in Cypress
Hills, Queens.
The project has evoked a
great response from Jews all
over the country. The commit-
tee, known as Friends of Beth
Sholom Aleichem, offices at 250
W. 57th St., New York 19, N. Y.,
