Shavuot Dairy Recipes By MILDRED G. BELLIN (Copyright, 1963, Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Inc.) On Shavuot Jewish families throughout the world feature dairy foods as a special part of the holiday. In the Middle East it may be a dash of rice with milk, in Europe or Ainerica cheese blintzes cr kugel. This tradition of eating dairy food goes so far back into ancient times. Old, too, is the custom of serving honey or dishes con- taining honey. There are in- terpreations linking both cus- toms to the giving of the Torah, but these explanations are of a later date than the traditions themselves. In this year's menu, we have included honey, and dishes which contain milk, cheese, and several of the early vegetables. These are combined in a meal which begins with a traditional appetizer. Vegetarian "Chop- ped Liver," which we garnish with radishes, cucumber, and scallions. Milk appears as a Cream of Celery Soup. For th - main course there is another traditional dish, a Lemon Fish which is a favorite among Sep- hardi Jews for festive occas- ions. The flavor of the fish prepared in this way blends particularly well with the new potatoes we like to serve at this season. And for desert there is a cottage cheese transformed into an especially delicious kugel. The courses are so planned that rich and creamy foods alternate with bland and tart ones, to refresh our tastes.

Bloch Issues Hertz Book Published with Aid of Lurie Fund Made possible by the Lurie Publication Fund of Temple Beth El, Dr. Richard C'. Hertz's "continuous sermon delivered during the Holy Days of 5723" was issued this week by Bloch Publishing Co. of New York. Survival, Happiness, Purpose, Goodness and Immortality are the topics of the five sermons which make up the continuous theme. In his preface, Rabbi Hertz states that in these themes he offers "five keystones which to- gether form an 'arch of tri- umph' through which you can walk into the New Year with courage, with hope and with faith." Not only the messages of the holy days, as delineated in this series of sermons, but the les- son of faith and the message of Judaism as taught through the ages find echoes that will make this small book a genuine guide for those searching for guidance as Jews in the Ameri- can milieu. BY HENRY LEONARD I New Anti-Israel Flag at the UN 18 San Francisco Adults Bar-Mitzvahed By SAUL CARSON (JTA Correspondent at the United Nations) UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. — Fourteen years, almost to the day, after Israel's admission to the United Nations, when the Jewish State became Member No. 59, the current special session of the General Assem- bly voted to admit Member No. 111. The new member is Kuwait. What entitles Kuwait to mem- bership in the United Nations? It claims it is a sovereign na- tion. It is a tiny piece of land in the Middle East with an area of 322,000 square miles — a little more than a third of Israel's area. rt has a population (by such census statistics as exist) of about 650,000—about a quarter of Israel's population. But it has two other assets: oil and membership in the Arab League. Built into the latter, of course, is an anti-Israel atti- tude. In his first speech from the podium of the Assembly, Sabah al-Ahmed al-Sabha, the little sheikdom's Foreign Min- ister, showed he was a loyal member of the Arab League by telling the UN: "Kuwait is an indivisible part of the Arab homeland, part of the Arab nation.. Kuwait confirms its full support of Arab unity." Re- ferring to "the tragic suffering of the Palestinian Arabs," he stated: "Passage of time cannot deprive the people of Palestine of their legitimate rights to return to their homeland." That takes care of one asset— membership in the Arab League and support of the Arab stand against Israel. Kuwait exported (in 1960) 650,000 barrels of oil — more than one-third of the entire oil output from the entire Middle East. Kuwait has oil reserves estimated at 600,000,000,000 (that's billions, not millions) barrels, one-fourth of the oil reserves in the entire free world. In 1960, the United States alone imported Kuwait oil valued at $123,400,000. That was, of course, only part of Kuwait's oil export total. What does Kuwait's ruler, Sheikh Sir Abdulla as-Salim as-Sabah, get out of this? By contrast with the. American Independent Oil Company, the Sheikh gets roy- alties amounting to 57 per cent of net profits. (Incidentally, did you note the similarity between the Sheikh's name and that of his F or eign Minister? The "country" is run by a tight-knit Sahba dynasty. In other words, all nephews get Cadillacs — gold plated.) Eighteen men whose average age is 42 will participate next Saturday in an unusual, mass "Bar Mitzvah" rite at Temple Beth Jacob, in Redwood 'City, near here, under the guidance of the temple's spiritual leader, Rabbi Herbert D. Teitelbaum. The men have concluded two years of special study in He- brew and Jewish customs and traditions under Rabbi Teitel- baum's tutelage. All of them volunteered for such a class two years ago, when some members of the congregation, who had missed being Bar Mitzvah when they were 13, asked for such in- struction. The adult Bnai Mitzvah in- clude one man with a doctorate in philosophy, four engineers, a steel company executive, and other professionals and busi- nessmen. Among them, the Bnai Mitzvah have 48 children and two grandchildren. Nine of the adults have sons who had already celebrated their Bar Mitzvah. All but two are native- born. According to Rabbi Teitel- baum, all members of the spe- cial class plan to continue their education in Hebrew and Jewish traditions.
