While not licensed as a restaurant, the Jewish Welfare Federation has both a meat and dairy kitchen at its downtown offices under the supervision of Sinai Hospital's mashgiach. The kitchen accommodates Federation staff and other agencies in the building, and observant attorneys and businesspeople often lunch there. Visitors from out of town who have no other ac- cess to kosher meals also eat at the Federation. No one is turned away and there is a charge. The kit- chen is closed during the summer. ❑ Cover photograph: Jerome Zuroff, mashgiach at Sara's Deli. Kahane Is Ousted From Knesset Seat • 4116 MOP We're Still #1 in Custom Fashions Palatable Possibilities ml Aviv (JTA) — Rabbi Meir Kahane, leader of the Kach Party, was ousted last Monday from the Knesset for refusing to take the oath of allegiance to parliament and the State as required by law. Knesset Speaker Shlomo Hillel said Kahane would be barred from entering the Knesset building as a member and stripped of his right to speak or vote in Knesset deliberations. The Knesset House Com- mittee will decide later whether Kahane will lose other privileges such as free postage, travel, telephone and housing allowances. The Committee is waiting for the Supreme Court to rule on Kahane's appeal against his ouster. If it stands, his privileges may be revoked retroactively to the date of his election to parliament in 1984. That means Kahane would have to reimburse the Knesset for allowances paid to him since then. When Kahane entered the Knesset chamber, he was summoned to the podium by Hillel to take the oath. Holding a Bible open to the Book of Psalsm, he said, "I do so undertake" — the proper response — but added "to ad- mit the supremacy of the Almighty?' It was the second time Kahane refused to pledge allegiance to the State. When he was sworn in to the Knesset three years ago, he used the same formula. The oath at that time was ad- ministered by Yosef Burg of the National Religious Party, who said he heard the words "I do so undertake" and ac- cepted them as satisfactory. But Attorney General Yo- sef Harish ruled that if Kahane again refused to take the proper oath he should be removed from parliament. A month ago, MK Eliezer Gran- ot of Mapam and several other MKs testified at an American court hearing that Kahane should lose his American citizenship because he has sworn allegiance to a foreign country. Kahane stated at the time that he had taken no such oath. Italian Jews' Story Told New York — Mention the Holocaust, and several coun- tries come immediately to mind — Germany, Poland, Austria — but probably not Italy. Yet Italy also has a story to tell. It is a story of 6,800 Jews who perished, but also of 38,400 Jews, or 85 percent of the Italian-Jewish population, who survived be- cause of the heroic efforts of Italian non-Jews. The author of a just- published book on this sub- ject recently elaborated on this previously untold piece of history. Susan Zuccotti, author of The Italians and the Holocaust: Persecution, Rescue, Survival (Basic Books), traced the develop- ments that brought the "silver age of Italian Jewry to a sudden and dramatic close." "In the 1920s and '30s Ita- lian Jews were highly assimi- lated, in fact virtually indis- tinguishable, from non-Jews," said Zuccotti. "The Italian society as a whole was devoid of anti-Semitism. When Mus- solini imposed racial laws in 1938 to ingratiate himself with Hitler, the years that followed brought emotional hardships but no physical dangers to Jews. But starting in 1943 with the German oc- cupation, and ending some
