Why Tsitsit Goes on First
By RABBI SAMUEL FOX
(Copyright 1982, JTA, Inc.)
It is customary to put on
one's tsitsit (fringed gar-
ment) before putting on
one's tefilin (phylacteries)
, on weekday mornings.
Two reasons are gener-
ally advanced for this order
of practice. First, it is ex-
plained by saying that this
is so because tsitsit are worn
every day of the week while
tefilin are not worn every
day of the week - i.e., they
are not worn on the Sabbath
and on holidays.
It is a general rule that a
practice which is done more
frequently takes precedence
over a practice which is not
done every single day. Sec-
ond, it is claimed that tefilin
are considered to be of a
higher degree of sanctity
than tsitsit especially be-
cause they contain minia-
ture scrolls of scripture.

probably the best choice on
the menu. The home made
spinach tagliatelle with
either a tomato or oil and
garlic sauce is also fine. And
the eggplant parmesan is
totally beyond reproach.
Together with an antipasto
salad and foccaccia spiced
garlic bread, a meal at
Mamma Mia's is quite fil-
ling. If you appreciate an
easy-going dinner with live
guitar folk music in the
background, go to Mamma
Mia's. It too must ensure
that success won't spoil it.
Other popular oriental
Jewish restaurants are the
Habira, near the Egged
bus-station and Rama on
Agrippas Street. Both of
these have thoroughly
earned their reputation for
good food and reasonable
prices.
In a different vein, well
recommended are the
Poire et Pomme, serving
everything in a crepe,
and The Souperie, an-
other small restaurant
with a very individutl
personality serving a
variety of excellent
soups. Both are located in
the area of Bezalel Art
Academy.
Though in Jerusalem as
everywhere, it's cheaper to
eat at home, with such a
broad selection of restau-
rants it should be possible
for newcomers to Israel's
capital city to find adequate
sustenance for the body as
well as the soul.

E. Berlin Court
Gives Ex-Nazi
15-Year Term
BONN - A former Nazi
prosecutor has been sen-
tenced to 15 years in prison
for his part in the deaths of
32 people during World War
II, according to a German
newspaper.
Erich Geisler was con-
victed by an East Berlin

an investigating magistrate
on the Nazi People's Court
in 1941-1942 and as a pro-
secutor in the same court
from 1942 through 1944.
The newspaper, Neues

Maxwell House. Coffee
Is AWitrmWelcome.
"Breaking bread - as a symbol of
peace, friendship, warmth and hos-
pitalit• is a tradition that is as old as
the Bible itself.
Although far from being as old as
the Bible, Maxwell House® Coffee
has been part of that tradition for
over a half a century. The reason is
simple: the full-pleasant aroma and
great tasting,
satisfying flavor of
Maxwell House®
blends right in with the good food
and hospitality that is part of
inviting people into your home.
So, no matter what your preference-
instant or ground-when you pour
Maxwell Jiouse®, you pour hospi-
tality. At its warmest...consistently
cup after cup after cup.
