VACATION WEEKEND SPA
sounds like a word in the New
Year blessing in which we ask to
rid ourselves of or beat back our
enemies.
2 large bunch medium-sized
fresh beets (about 2
pounds)
1/2 cup lemon juice
3 tbsps. olive (or vegetable) oil
2 to 3 garlic cloves, finely
minced or pressed
1 /4 cup finely chopped parsley
leaves
vs tsp. ground cinnamon (or to
taste)
Ys tsp. ground cumin (or to
taste)
Pinch of salt (or to taste)
2 tsps. sugar (optional)
Cut off the beet greens about 1
inch above the beets, leaving the
roots intact. Scrub the beets well;
then put them in a medium-sized
saucepan and cover them with
water. Bring to a boil over high
heat; then cover the pan, reduce
the heat, and simmer the beets
about 30 minutes or until very
tender. (They should be easily
pierced with a wooden toothpick.)
Let the beets cool in the cooking
water, or rinse them under cold
running water until they can be
handled. Carefully cut off the
roots and stems, and slide the skin
off the beets. Dice the beets or cut
them into strips, and place them
in a small bowl.
Stir in the remaining ingre-
dients, adjusting the amount of
each one to taste. Chill the salad
until serving time, mixing occa-
sionally. Serve chilled or at room
temperature. Makes about 8
small servings.
CHICKEN WITH
HONEY-SESAME
TOMATO SAUCE
1 tbsp. vegetable oil
About 3 to 3% pounds meaty
chicken pieces, such as
thighs and legs (skin re-
moved if desired)
1 16-ounce can tomatoes, finely
chopped, including juice
1 small onion, grated
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tbsp. honey (or a bit more to
taste)
Y8 to 1/4 tsp. black pepper, pref-
erably freshly ground
About 2 tbsps. toasted sesame
seeds*
To serve (optional):
Hot, cooked white or brown
rice
In a deep 11- or 12-inch skillet
or a Dutch oven, heat the oil: then
lightly brown the chicken pieces
on all sides. While the chicken is
browning, stir together the to-
matoes and their juice, the onion,
cinnamon, honey, and pepper.
Pour this mixture over the chic-
ken, cover the pan tightly, and re-
duce the heat.
Simmer the chicken, basting it
occasionally, about 50 minutes or
until it is very tender. Transfer
the chicken pieces to a warm serv-
ing plate. Raise the heat, and
quickly boil down the liquid re-
maining in the pan until it
reaches the consistency of a light
sauce. Spoon the sauce over the
chicken pieces. Sprinkle the
sesame seeds on top. If desired,
serve with hot, cooked rice. Makes
about 6 servings.
*(To toast sesame seeds, put
them in an ungreased skillet over
medium-high heat, and shake the
pan or stir the seeds often until
they are evenly browned and very
aromatic. For very best flavor,
toast the seeds shortly before us-
ing.)

UJA conference
opens campaign
Jerusalem — The United
Jewish Appeal launched its an-
nual campaign in Israel this week
with a total campaign goal of $700
million.
This is the first time that the
campaign has opened outside of
the United States. The UJA has
collected $10.6 billion since it was
founded in 1939.
Of the money the UJA raises,
more than half funds the Jewish
Agency and Joint Distribution
Committee human need pro-
grams in Israel, including immig-
rant absorption, rural settlement,
education, social welfare, Youth
Aliyah and Project Renewal. The
remainder of the money meets
Jewish community needs in the
United States.
More than 800 UJA leaders
from Jewish communities across
North America gathered for the
national campaign opening con-
ference in Israel.
Leon Dulzin, Zionist Executive
chairman, told the UJA leadeic
that the lives of 200,000 Israeli
youngsters have been turned
around by Youth Aliyah. They
have been taken off the streets,
with all that means, Dulzin said.
He said funds from Jewish
communities worldwide have up-
graded the lives of thousands of
people, especially through Project
Renewal in which the involve-
ment of Diaspora Jewry has been
far greater than merely financial.
