THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
A mezkiza contains the 22
lines of the Bible found in
Deuteronomy 6:4-9. A
scribe (sofer) uses a quill
taken from a kosher fowl —
usually a goose or turkey —
and writes with indelible
black ink specially prepared
from vegetable ingredients.
The parchment comes from
the skin of a kosher animal,
usually a lamb or goat.
Racewalking Offers Jogging Alternative
By HASKELL COHEN
(Copyright 1983, JTA, Inc.)
Now that the New York
Marathon has been run,
thoughts turn to a new type
of sport called racewalking
which is making rapid
strides in this country.
The foremost exponent of
this event is Howard Jacob-
son, a champion racewalker
himself, who has coached a
number of other racewal-
kers to national and Olym-
pic titles.
Jacobson, a Maccabia
Champion runner back in
the early '50s, gives clinics
in race-walking all over the
country. Currently, he has
been traveling the literary
circuit publicizing his book
"Racewalk To Fitness."

Frequently called "the
Pied Piper" of walking,
`Jake' has taught
thousands -of enthusiasts,
all over the country, the
techniques of walking
properly for a stronger
and healthier body. He
insists that racewalking
is simply a form of walk-
ing which utilizes the
arms in a more dynamic
way than walking or jog-
ging. "You don't have to
race to be a racewalker,"
Jacobson says. "You
should develop the style
of a racewalker."
