One female delegate suggested that it may be SUCCESS Achievement, in a word, illustrates it best. Carl Sterr illustrates that achievement in classic suits and sportcoats by Southwick, Polo sportswear by Ralph Lauren, and an exciting collection of classic suits, skirts and slacks for women by Lady Southwick.

This would be in keeping with the example of a 19th Century rabbinic authority who decreed a "fishless Shabat" in order to stem the escalating price of fish. Alarmed by the con- tinuously rising price of beef and poultry, consumers may have no other choice than to band together in this way in order to stabilize these prices. Another topic of con- cern to the delegates was the proliferation of the initial K on numerous food products without any guide to conscien- tious consumers to dis- cern tke reliability of the individual rabbi whose certification is the basis for the letter K on the product. Rabbi Menahem Genack, rabbinic coordinator of the Joint Kashrut Commission, stated that there are pre- sently 52 different authorities who certify products with the letter K on the product label. If a consumer would like to know the name of any K sponsoring rabbi the infor- mation may be requested from the New York State Kashrut Commission in the World Trade Center towers in Manhattan. High-priced Passover foods was another issue that sparked debate among the delegates. A representative of Season Foods declared that it is their policy not to raise their prices for the Passover holiday. It was suggested that there be a concerted effort by the OU in this area. Nathan K. Gross, chair- man of the Joint Kashrut Commission, stated that this was an area where in- dividual rabbis could have a widespread effect. Just as there was a limitation on the price people could pay for lulavim and etrogim for Sukkot in Baltimore, so too, could rabbis place limita- tions on the prices their congregants should pay for Passover products in their own communities. vastitz, '1 c, AND KOSHER RESTAURANT (Wednesday Evenings 4:30 to 9 p.ni.)
