The Best of Everything

By Dan ny Raskin

DALE STEVENS, writing in a
recent Detroit News issue of Tempo
Magazine about Chico Holiday and
the Afterglow Lounge on W. Mc-
Nichols just West of Woodward,
4r , must find it rough trying to be a
1:! critic without even knowing how to
t spell the title of a great song like
"Granada." . . . Also, the last
18632 W. McNichols h paragraph in Dale's article per-
Mks. W. of Southfield Xwy :I taining to the Afterglow (some-
531 - 8877
4 `1 thing must have been bugging
him!) was as unfair and ridicu-

Ions as any we've ever seen. .. .
, "The Afterglow isn't the place for
Chico or any other serious per-
former." . . . Sounded more like
he had the wrong place in mind
. . mentioning that the owners
'jog around calling out honey and
darling. . . . Bossmen Sam Fertel
and Steve Lekas wouldn't do this
in a million years . . . and to top
it all off, neither Sam nor Steve
were even there!

CHICO's new record, "Now I
Taste the Tears" is a rhythmic
ballad on the Shamley Label (Uni-
versal-International) . . . Flip side
is a novelty tune, "Boy Meets
Girl." . . . Its just been released
this week and you'll soon be start-
ing to hear the sides on radio .. .
Chico is accompanied by 36 mu-
sicians and "The Blossoms." three
girls now backing Nancy Sinatra
at the International Hotel in Las
Vegas. . . . Tonight and tomorrow
are the last two nights to see'
Chico at the Afterglow before he
leaves for six weeks at the Harris
Club in Lake fahoe and then to
Dino's Den at the Riviera in Las
Vegas . . By all means get over
to the Afterglow and see Chico .. .
he's a powerful entertainer!

MADELYN GRUSKIN, who had
broken her ankle falling down the
steps at home while hubby Ben, in
charge of the liquor division of
, Cunningham Drug Stores, was at-
' tending a convention in Atlanta,
Ga., had a wonderful souvenir to
give when they took her cast off
. . . while having dinner with Ben
and Phil and Estelle Berke at La-
fayette-Orleans L o•u it g e , Tom
Jones, appearing the next night at
Olympia, autographed it for her.
. . . The 'nurse of Madelyn's doc-
tor wrapped it up with careful
reverence to give to one of her
grandchildren.

GOOD SERVICE IS essential to
the enjoyment of good food ... as
exemplified by waitress Donna
Godeau at Lacro's . . . She is ex-
cellent . . . with a much desired
and appreciated knack for pacing
each course with precision accur-
ary . . . Many waiters and wait-
resses interested only in "throw-
ing" the food at you in hurried
- passion, disgrace the art of gond
dining ... Donna pleasantly brings
, your meal at Larco's with style
and grace that makes for thorough
enjoyment.
AURELIANO UGOLINI, boss-
man of internationally famous
Hugo's at the Park Shelton on
Woodward and Kirby, gives one
of his famous secret recipes .. .
Red Snapper Benoit ... "Clean
and bone four pieces of snapper, !
10-12 oz. each . Prepare a
Wine Beschamelle Sauce: chop!
6 green olives very fine and
saute in butter. When they begin j
to darken, pour white dry Ver-
mouth wine to taste. Mix slowly
Vz cup flour and 11/2 cups of milk
(if too solid, add more milk, but.
make certain sauce is not too'
liquidy.) Add salt, pepper and
accent to taste . . . Butter
square pan, place in the four
pieces of fish and pour over them
the above sauce . . . Sprinkle a
touch of olive oil and nutmeg.
. . . Cook to your pleasure at
oven temperature 375 degrees-
480 degrees.... Hugo's will soon I
have a private dining room de-
signed with stars and planets as
the solar motif . . . The food
and service at Hugo's is still ex-'
ceptionally good—getting better,'
if that's possible!

Hasidic tales, descriptions of
leaders in the movement, are fea-
tured in an impressive work, "The
Faith of a Hasid" by Dr. Max A.
Lipchitz, North Miami Beach rabbi.
The book was published by Jona-
than David.
With an impressive set of illus-
trations by two Florida artists,
Jane Steinsynder and Regi Yanich,
this work has special merit for its
interpretive spirit in approaching
the Hasidic movement with deep
respect and adoration.
The author, who was ordained
at Yeshiva University in New
York, is married to the former
Miriam Lehrman, daughter of
Rabbi and Mrs. Moses Lehrman
of Detroit .
The many years' interest in Ha-
sidism in the study of which he
had devoted himself primarily, err-
abled Dr. Lipchitz to portray the
leaders of the movement with af-
fection and to trace the story of
Hasidism from its roots to the ma-
jor developments in this age.
His father, Rabbi Mailech Lip-
chitz, was a Gur Hasid and from
him he had gathered much of the
inspiration for a notable work that
throws light on a movement that
is constantly gaining added interest
in many ranks.
Dr. Lipchitz's is an objective
work. He treats the history of
Hasidism in all its aspects—in re-;
lation to Zionism (Palestine), as it'
is viewed by Conservative and
other Jews.
While it is definitive it is also
a social and historic study of a
great movement and it is done with
an aim to present all the facts.
Thus, while the legends and the
variety of stories will delight the
readers of this valuable work, there
are also the biographical factors,'
the stories about the heroes of the
movement, the description of the
origin of the movement.
Rabbi Lipchitz tells about the
Hasidic founder, Israel Baal Shem
Toy, about the Rabbi of Gur and
other tzadikim.
We learn about the influence of
the Kotzker Rebbe, his philoso- !
phy and ethics, and the teachings
of other saintly tzadikim.
The development of Zionist phil-
osophy in the Gur Rebbe's court 1

indicates changes that had taken
place from opposition to migration
to Palestine and later to Israel to
cooperation in such efforts. More
recently Hasidic Rebbes actually
became deeply involved in efforts
for and in Israel.
"The Conservative views Juda-
ism as an evolving civilization, and
looks to Hasidism for cultural in-
spiration," Rabbi Lipchitz declares.
He states: "While Conservative
Judaism is not ready to discard
the scholastic approach to Juda-
ism for emotionalism, it is im-
presed by the multifaceted culture
which Hasidism embraced."
There is a telling story about
the Hasidic movement in the con-
cluding two lines of this book.
Rabbi Lipchitz states: "Our
generation may yet see that a
relatively small group can con-
tain an infinite blessing."
It is in this spirit that "The
Faith of a Hasid" emerges as a
valuable analysis of a great move-
ment in Jewish life.
