And Celebrate The Passover." The traditions of Passover are not only ancient but beautiful. Just as im- portant, they are as relevant today as - they were centuries ago. And inviting all those who are hungry to come and eat has become a hallmark of the Jewish way of life. Preparing fine Jewish food has al- ways been the hallmark of Manischewitz. For almost a century, we have been helping families honor Passover with an array of delicious products specially pre- pared for this festive occasion. And we like to tee' that, in some way, we add to the joyousness of the holiday.

America has never flinched from its commitment to the state of Israel — a commitment which remains unshaka- ble," the President declared. The President's ad- dress also focused on the "rich diversity of our free, pluralistic society." He said that while the final policy decisions are determined by Congress and the President, "every citizen and every citizens group is guaranteed the right to speak out — and must be encouraged to do so without fear of re- prisal or defamation." Reagan's speech ap, peared as an attempt to allay concern in the Ameri- can Jewish community which had been disturbed by the charges of dual loy- alty and the anti-Israel overtones which surfaced during last year's debate over the Administration's plan to sell AWACS recon- naissance planes and other military hardware to Saudi Arabia. "No group should be bul- lied into silence by racial or ethnic slurs, or the fear of them," the President said. "The language of hate — the obscenity of anti-Semitism and racism — must have no part in the national dialogue." Reagan interspersed his remarks with several refer- ences to secular and reli- gious leaders, including Anne Frank, a victim of the Holocaust, who, the President noted, wrote in July 1944: "In spite of ev- erything, I still believe people are really good at heart." While the President was inside receiving his award from the NCCJ, making him the fourth President to receive it, thousands demonstrated outside the hotel on Sixth Avenue in midtown Manhattan, choking rush Australia Official to Visit Israel JERUSALEM (JTA) — Foreign Minister Anthony Street of Australia will pay an official visit to Israel Sunday-Tuesday. On his agenda are meet- ings with President Yitzhak Navon, Premier Menahem Begin and Knesset Speaker Menahem Savidor, as well as working sessions with his host, Foreign Minister Yit- zhak Shamir, and their top aides. Street will also visit the Australian unit attached to the Multinational Force and Observers (MFO) in Sinai. From Israel he flies on to Egypt and will also visit other states in the area during his trip. Shamir is hoping to visit Australia as part of a swing through friendly Asian countries during this year. hour traffic, singing, chanting and carrying banners protesting the Administration's foreign policy actions in Central America and his budget proposals. Earlier in the day, just hours before Reagan ar- rived in New York, the New Jewish Agenda, a newly formed progressive organ- ization which claims 2,000 members throughout the country, held a press con- ference with more than a dozen Christian and Jewish leaders protesting the pre- sentation of the Hughes Award to the President. Declaring that "it is di- rectly contrary to humanitarian and religious values to cut essential social services . . . (for) a wasteful military budget," the statement released by the organization and lay lead- ers continued: "As Chris- tians and Jews, we condemn the Reagan policies of slash- ing spending for human needs, lavishing tax breaks on the very wealthy, starv- ing education programs and creating widespread unem- ployment." At the same time, Rabbi Arnold Wolf, of the Kam Isaiah Temple in Chicago, protesting the award to Re- agan, returned to the NCCJ the James Yard Brother- hood Award which he was presented with in 1962. "If Reagan is a humanitarian," Wolfe declared "I am not." aide's PATISSERIE "Delicious and unusual Passover-style Tortes for the holidays 29229 Northwestern Hwy.
