Carmel Wines Symbol Defined
NEW YORK—The symbol
of the Israelites carrying
huge cluster of grapes on a
branch between them is
shown on every bottle of
Carmel wines of Israel.
Many do not know the
meaning behind this
symbol.
Y. Levinberg, general
manager of Carmel Wines,
Inc., in North America. said
this symbol represents a
biblical episode important
in the history of Israelites.
The biblical story comes
from the book of Numbers,
Verse 13. when the Israel-
ites, encamped in their
search for a new land, long
for the end of their quest.
The Bible syas:
"The Lord said to Moses,
Ethnic Diversity
Somerset Subject
Somerset Mall had sev-
eral special programs Sept.
1 5-1 7 commemorating
"Your Other Heritage," the
varied ethnic backgrounds
of Americans.
A 28-page booklet issued
in conjunction with the pro-
grams of dance, music and
displays at the mall con-
tained a section on Jewish
Americans. It included a
photograph and story about
the Jewish Community Cen-
ter of Metropolitan Detroit
and a brief history of Jews
in the U.S. and Michigan.
The booklet was edited by
Peg DuBois of Somerset
Mall.
Apology Given
for Insulting Joke
A joke characterized as
"insulting to Jewish listen-
ers" was told during a half-
tinie radio interview during
the University of Michigan-
Duke University football
game last Saturday.
Announcer Bob Ufer later
apologized for the joke told
by one-time coaching aide
and U-M fan Wally Weber
and reportedly will not use
Weber again as a half-time
guest. Weber has appeared
on the half-time shows
approximately once a , year
for many years.
`Send men to spy out the
land of Canaan, which I give
to the people of Israel.'
Moses selected a team of
two men from each of the
Israel tribes, send them
forth to search the sur-
rounding lands and report
back. On their return, one of
the teams came back from
a fruitful valley, carrying
with them 'a branch with a
single cluster of grapes, and
they carried it on a pole
between the two of them."'
This was the most fruitful
of the lands surveyed. and
the land was called the Val-
ley of Eschol, which means
cluster. The cluster of
grapes has since been the
symbol for the wines of
Israel.
Wrong Address
The old address for
Selma's Yarn Shop was
inadvertantly used in an
advertisement that
appeared in the Sept. 9 issue
of The Jewish News.
Selma's Yarn Shop is
located in the New Orleans
Mall, 10 Mile Rd. and
Greenfield.
Farmer Jack Super-
markets has been named
the "Retailer. of the Year
Award Winner" by Brand
Names Foundation Inc.
The award was presented
in competition with food
chains throughout the
nation, and according to
Borman Foods President
Paul Borman, the award is
just "frosting on the cake."
