Orthodox Rabbis
Decry- Nonkosher
Food at NN eddintrs

Editor, The Jewish News:
The Council of Orthodox Rabbis
calls on the members of the Jew-
ish community to cease the mock-
ery of religious observance through
flagrant violations of Torah law.

The celebration of a wedding or
Bar Mitzva is, by its very act, a
part of ritual in the life cycle of
the Jew. The feast associated with
the celebration is designated a
"seudat mitzva"—a feast of religi-
ous obligation. To turn around and
celebrate it in a manner that de-
fies all religious tradition is the
height of paradox.
What could be more ludicrous
than some individual getting up to
make the "hamotzi" and thank
God for the very food He cautioned
us not to eat?
In a religious sense, the meal
is the second part of the cere-
mony. It is not hypocritical for

a family who generally does not
observe kashrnt to adhere to the
full requirements of a religious
occasion properly,

there are seven kosher catering
firms in our community ready to

serve in accordance with the wish-

es of the celebrant. A religious
.:'nt should be reflected as such
throughout the observance.
