THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Kosher Food Program Begins in OP With Federation Aid For many of the 40 senior adults gathered in the Oak Park Community Center, it was their first kosher meal "out." The occasion, on Dec. 13, was the opening day for the senior citizen kosher meal program funded by the Oakland Livingston Human Service Agency (OLHSAl. Thanks to Title VII of the Older Americans Act — and supplementary funds from the Jewish Welfare Federa- tion — the kosher meal pro- gram was made possible to meet the special dietary needs of elderly persons who keep a kosher home and whose kashrut observance has prevented their partici- pation in other government-funded nutri- tion programs. The kosher program joins an existing OLHSA elderly nutrition program in the Oak Park Community Cen- ter, 14300 Oak Park Blvd., near Coolidge. Dr. Mark Kahn, chair- man of Federation's committee on services to the elderly, said the pro- gram will "bring Oak Park area senior adults who keep kosher out of their isolation to join the socialization at the nutri- tion site and enjoy a kosher meal at the same time."The meals are being prepared by Eva Bartos in the kitchen of Jewish Federation Apartments under the supervision of the Coun- cil of Orthodox Rabbis of Greater Detroit. Oak Park's Department of Parks and Recreation is providing the transpor- tation of meals to the site. The purpose of the Title VII Nutrition Program is to provide older Americans, particularly those with low incomes, with low-cost, nut- ritional meals served in nearby centers where they can obtain other social and rehabilitative services. Besides promoting better health among senior adults through improved nutri- tion, such a program is aimed at reducing the isola- tion of old age, offering older Americans the opportunity HAPPY HANUKA From Your 7 Mile - Greenfield OLDSMOBILE DEALER WOODRUFF OLDSMOBILE "Still Superior Service" 1500 W. 342-7000 7 Mile Rd. ql evoe, elfeeefea TO OUR MANY FRIENDS AND CUSTOMERS Hank's Clothes Now conveniently located at 28950 Orchard Lake Roads Between 12 and 13 Mile Roads, Farmington Hills 626-7000 626-7007 The Kibbutz The kibbutz is a unique social, cultural and eco- nomic success in Israel.

According to the Detroit Free Press, after each bill was approved Forbes would move for immediate effect and O'Neill would take a quick voice vote, bang his gavel and declare approval. Before long, O'Neill was going through the proce- dure before Forbes could make his motion. Not to be outdone, Forbes recited a Sabbath blessing in Hebrew as O'Neill went through the procedure. Down came the gavel and the House had adopted a Sabbath prayer.
