Editor, The Jewish News:
We were shocked by the
"revelation" that Rabbi
Jack Goldman has dis-
covered a new source for
kosher meat to be used by
all kosher meat dealers in
our community. This par-
ticular company had been
approved by the Council of
Orthodox Rabbis more than
two years ago; and, indeed,
butcher shops under the
supervision of the Vaad
Harabonim have been using
this meat for some time.
Purchase of kosher meat
by the butcher shop does not
guarantee the quality of
kashrus observed. The
Vaad does not deal with an
association but with indi-
vidual butcher shops. Each
shop has a permanently as-
signed mashgiakh (super-
visor) who is responsibile
for the washing of meat,
koshering of meat that is
not pre-koshered and mak-
ing certain meat does not
become "treif" through
being ground before kosher-
ing.
The Council of Orthodox
Rabbis of Greater Detroit
has always striven to main-
tain the highest standards
of kashrus in our commu-
nity and will continue to do
so without seeking spurious
publicity.

Concerning the article
"The Dilemma of Our Haz-
zanim" in the Sept. 2 Jewish
News:
My father, Cantor Jacob
Sonenklar, never had the
problem posed by Mr.
Rosenbaum. My father was
always prepared, and his
prayers were rendered to
God for all his people.

Soviet Prisoner
Fires Attorney
JERUSALEM (JNI) —
Soviet prisoner of con-
science Yosef Begun, dis-
missed his court-appointed
lawyer after he urged
Begun to plead guilty of
charges of "anti-Soviet agi-
tation and propaganda," the
Greater New York Confer-
ence on Soviet Jewry re-
ported.
Begun, if found guilty,
could receive up to 12 years
in a labor camp and exter-
nal exile for his "crime" of
teaching Hebrew and prom-
oting Jewish culture in
Russia.
Overseas
calling
is getting
better by
the minute.
For example, between 3:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m., the initial minute of a
direct-dialed call to Tel Aviv costs only $2.21*— additional minutes
are 80 cents* each. These same low rates apply to all other Israeli cities.
If your telephone exchange isn't presently equipped for international
dialing, you still get the same low rate on station-to-station calls placed
through an operator. Overseas dialing — it's easy... it's inexpensive...
it's fast! And the sound of your voice is so much more personal th.gn
a letter or telegram.

toll free: 1 800 874-4000.
