history. One of the first
American popular songs
was, of course, "Yankee
Doodle."
The British played it
while leaving Lexington,
after the first battle of the
American Revolution. The
Americans heard it and
were grateful for it. It
helped foster the American
spirit.
The song spoofed the
Americans a bit. It depicted
Americans as rather simple
countrymen who did not
know what real fashion was
but Americans liked it for
this quality — its democ-
racy. _

Yankee Doodle was ac-
tually written about 20
years before by a physi-
cian, a Dr. Shuckleberg,
attached to British head-
quarters. It has been said
he was Jewish. It may
well be. The name sounds
Jewish and there were
many Jewish physicians.
Philip Moses Russell, the
physician at Valley Forge
with Washington, was a
Jew.
Another early- American
to compose a popular hit
was John Howard Payne,
who wrote "Home, Sweet
Home." His mother, Sarah
Isaacs, was Jewish.
During the Spanish
American War, a composer
— I believe his name was
Harris — wrote "Tell
Mother, I'll Be There,"
which was a great favorite
among the soldiers.
The mother theme is al-
ways popular with the
young fellows going off to
war. The same writer also
composed a song "Matza
Balls," which wasn't as
much a success as a song as
it is for a food. However, he
scored another popular hit
with "After the Ball Is
Over."
Irving Berlin's "0 How
I Hate to Get Up in the
Morning," was very
popular among the
soldiers of World War I,
who shared his dislike for
getting up to shoot so
early. Berlin's "God Bless
America" has become a
kind of national anthem,
second only to the "Star
Spangled Banner."
Berlin's father was a can-
tor. The Hazan or cantor is a
great force in Jewish wor-
ship. Among the churches,
we hear of people going to
hear the sermon of the
minister, but this was
rarely the case in the
synagogue. The rabbi, to be
sure, is important, but in
the traditional synagogue,
the Jew did not usually go to
hear the rabbi preach. How-
ever, many did go to hear
the cantor sing.
Also in the synagogue,
the cantor is not the only
one who sings. Every Jew is
a kind of amateur cantor.
The Jewish worshipper does
not so much recite the
prayers as sing them.
He may not have a good
voice, and his tune may be
off, and his voice squeaky or
hoarse but it doesn't matter.
The important thing is he
must put feeling in the
words and so he gives forth,
virtually often composing
his own tune. All Jews are
really composers of a sort.
Someone said, I care not
who makes the law of a
country, if I can make the
music. Music is a powerful
thing. It is a kind of reli-
gious force in itself. The
term religion comes from
the Latin, meaning "to tie
together." That's what
music does. Words may
often divide, but music al-
ways ties people together.

(The Best of Everything)

(Continued from Page 33)
ionable,' she says. 'I haven't
put by finger on it yet.'
"She notices that more
and more young people are
going into fine restaurants,
opening small but ambiti-
ous units on their own or
with sjlent partners.
"To young people in the
industry with this par-
ticular aspiration she has
the following words of
advice: 'Be aware of the
necessity of being in your
restaurant full-time.
Know the hazards. Know
the technical necessities,
like how to cost food.
Know what food tastes
like. Spend five years in
France or Italy, if possi-
ble, developing your pa-
late.'
'" 'Know how not to exceed
your limitations. Know
what can be produced in
your facility and with your
staff.'
"As a personal prefer-
ence, Mimi Sheraton hates
to be served what can't be
served at its best. She
thinks fine-dining restau-
rants should never serve
tomatoes after the middle of
August ,and before the be-
ginning of the following
June.
" 'A token • tomato is a
compromise that shouldn't
be made. Let your guide be
what's good, not what
people expect."
"In the industry, she
thinks there will be a re-
surgence of American
regional cooking a few years
hence. She sees a void that
should be filled. 'Why can't
we have a good Creole res-
taurant in New York or a
good Southern restaurant
in San Francisco,' she asks.
"Like many patrons of
fine-dining restaurants,
Mimi Sheraton takes her
restaurant experiences
seriously. But she isn't
without a sense of playful
appreciation either.
" 'To me a curtain goes
up whenever I walk into a
restaurant,' she says.
'Even though I like to
cook, I eat out almost
seven nights a week.

Study in Israel
Goal for Youth

JERUSALEM (JTA) —
The first among the 8,000
youth expected to arrive
this summer on the Jewish
Agency "summer project"
are in Israel. Some 100,000
Jewish youth have visited
Israel since 1948 in the
"summer projects."
This year, the visits will
emphasize education and
not tourism, Avraham
Katz, head of the Jewish
Agency's youth and
hehaulutz department said.
The common denominator
of the various courses the
youth will take is the
deepening of knowledge on
the subjects of Judaism and
Zionism.

tired of it, but I can hon-
estly say I never do.
" 'I'm always interested in
seeing what's going to un-
fold. How someone will
serve a particular dish. How
it will taste. What someone
will say.'
"Sheraton calls the food-
service business 'the most
fascinating in the world,'
but she admits she herself
couldn't take restaurant life
as a career.
" 'The work is too hard. It
is too arduous. You are at
the mercy of a capricious,
mercurial market.
Everytime someone tells me
they are going to open up a
fine-dining restaurant, I
think whatever in the world
for. There's no margin for
error.'
"But then without
someone taking these par-
ticular risks, Sheraton
would have to agree, there
would be no curtains ris-
ing."

The getting of treasures
by a lying tongue is a vapor
driven to and fro; they (that
seek them); seek death.
