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.
