• 50-minute program of Jewish social history and
cultural significance
• Narration about a brilliant Jewish poetess of the 19th cen-
tury who became deeply involved with the immigrant Jews of
Russia and Eastern Europe as they fled persecution to seek a
new life in America
• Much loved Jewish folk music in Yiddish, Russian, Hebrew and English:
• Rozhinkes Mit Mandlen • Oyfen Pripetchuk • Moscow Nights • Oseh
Shalom • Irving Berlin's God Bless America • Yerushaloyim Shel Zehav
• Tumbalalaika • and more •
Chanukah is coming soon, and the candles we light certainly reflect the "lamp of liberty" as well
as the first recorded struggle for human rights which the Maccabees won so long ago.
This recording makes a special holiday gift to be shared by family and friends at this special time
when we turn our hearts to cherishing our freedom.

seniors and from very reli-
gious to secular Jews."
He sees this Chanukah as
a big gift-buying season.
"Chanukah is much more of a
recognized season when it
comes out at the end of De-
cember," he says with a
chuckle.
The store is bursting with
decorations, scholarly and
popular Jewish books, games,
tapes and records, jewelry
and ritual items. Hundreds of
Judaic children's novelties
and gifts line the shelves.
"These games, puzzles; color-
ing books, stickers, pencils
and such make children more
aware of being Jewish and
also teach them lessons about
Jewish life," says Borenstein.
Toddlers will love the soft
toys — stuffed mezzuzahs and
menorahs — and the pop-up
books. School-age children
will enjoy sticker and activity
books, holiday placemats, and
engaging tapes and records
like Professor Green and the
Simcha Machine.
There are special gifts for
teenagers, too: Torah Teddy,
Coca-Cola T-shirts written in
Hebrew, and the new Jewish
trivia game, Tradition. Tradi-
tional gifts for Dad include
talleisim and tallis bags, kip-
pot, book ends and a wide
variety of books to suit
different tastes and reading
levels. Borenstein's also
stocks 75 different Kosher
wines.
Traditional favorites for
Mom are kitchen and holiday
items: Jewish cookbooks,
challah boards with a built-in
knife, Passover plates, and
specialty aprons with humor-
ous sayings like: "Good Cook-
ing Takes Tam," Borenstein's
will also carry the symbol
"Zachor" as part of its large
selection of Judaic jewelry.
Meaningful Judaic gifts
can also be found at Spitzer's
in Southfield and in the
larger Jewish community as
well. Bookpeople Inc.'s Owner,
Maurine Sillman, has assem-
bled a wide selection of
Jewish books, cookbooks and
calendars in her West Bloom-
field bookstore.
Israeli-imported gift and
ritual items can be found at
Chantel, on the Boardwalk,
in West Bloomfield. Owners
Sara Skoczylas and Jordana
Golan have a wide variety of
menorahs, mezzuzahs, seder
plates, kiddush cups, hav-
dalah sets and candle sticks
in glass, lucite, gold, silver
and brass.

interest: biblical archeology,
Hebrew and Yiddish litera-
ture, philatelic, literary
commentary, current events,
