Kol Ami Sets Ground Breaking
Temple Kol Ami will have
ground-breaking ceremonies
noon Sunday at 5085 Walnut
Lake, West Bloomfield.
Beginning eight years ago
with seven families, the Re-
form temple outlined its aims
as freedom of pulpit and
pew, limited membership of
300 families to maintain
close communication, strong
stands in community projects
and social action programs
and both adult and youth
education.
Within a few months, the
seven families had grown to
35 (to date 175) and began
sharing space with the Bir-
mingham Unitarian Church,
a relationship which will
exist until the new temple
is completed.
The proposed structure is
a one-floor plan, has no re-
ligious school facilities and
carries through the concept
of simplicity.
Temple Kol Ami has no
sisterhood or brotherhood, as
responsibilities are shared
equally by men and women.
The youth group of about 30
high school students has won
awards for urban projects
such as tutoring service,
working in nursing homes
and collecting goods for the
needy.
Rabbi Ernst Conrad is re-
ligious leader of Kol Ami.
For the land which you are
invading for conquest is not
like the land of Egypt from
which you came, where you
used to sow your seed and
water it by hand like a vege-
table garden.—Deut. 11:10.
Rabbi Goldman Challenges Rabbinical
Councils to Abandon Misuse of Kosher
•
Labels to Prevent Price 'Bludgeoning'
Deploring what he termed
"the virtual bludgeoning
given to the Jewish kashrut-
observing housewife" during
the Passover festival, Rabbi
Jack Goldman, Jewish chap-
lain of Macomb County Com-
munity College, this week
charged that "the greatest
abuse to the kosher con-
sumer comes from the so-
called rabbinically endorsed
products."
,He said the rise in prices
at holiday time comes "for
no apparent reason," stating:
"Even such commodities as
meat, fish and eggs, which
are no different before, dur-
ing and after Passover, sud-
denly experience a spiraling
of prices."
In his expose of the exist:
ing conditions, Rabbi Gold-
man charges:
"Some rabbis who have
undertaken the responsibility
of granting rabbinical super-
vision to kosher food prod-
ucts are so unscrupulous as
to regard the holidays as an
open season to strike it rich
at the expense of the Jewish
community. The cost of their
rabbinical supervision is
passed on to the consumer,
and sometimes it makes the
price of keeping kosher ex-
tremely difficult.
"In some cases, the rab-
binically supervised products
do not even require rabbini-
cal supervision. There is no
reason for 'Kosher for Pass-
over" coffee to skyrocket in
price, since the 'kosher'
variety and the regular
coffee are exactly the same
thing. The same goes for
pure granulated' cane sugar,
tea, and other products. The
popular 'blue milk' which
sells for 54 cents a quart is
nothing more than old (hence
usually sour) milk processed
a week before Passover.
"Rabbis who are truly
dedicated to the Jewish com-
munity should refuse to
grant rabbinical endorsement
unless the companies agree
not to raise their prices.
They should also advise the
Jewish community as to
which products may be used
without rabbinical endorse-
ment. Beyond that, they
should make a strenuous ef-
fort to lower the prices of
kosher consumer goods.
"Kashrut should be a
question of conscience, not
cost. Too many young
couples are being discour-
aged rather than encouraged
when they consider keeping
a kosher home. Who should
