Merkaz To Have
Annual Dinner
The Merkaz, the Layman's
Association of the Vaad
Harabanim, announces that
its seventh annual dinner
will take place Wednesday at
6 p.m. at the Radisson Plaza
Hotel in Southfield.
The program will feature a
panel of kashrut authorities
who will discuss major issues
affecting today's kosher
consumer.
The panelists will include:
Rabbi Moshe Heinemann of
the Star-K in Baltimore
which supervises food product
companies across the country
such as Celestial Seasonings
Tea, many restaurants in
Miami Beach and Pompeiian
Olive Oil; Rabbi H. Zecharia
Senter of the Chaf-K certifies
Tofutti non-dairy desserts,
Solo Pie Filling, Tabatchnik
Frozen Soup, Carvel and
Howard Johnsons Ice Cream;
Rabbi Chaim Goldzweig of
the O.U., which supervises
thousands of national brands
from coast to coast.
For reservations and infor-
mation call Mrs. Eliezer
Weissfish, 967-2667.
The Merkaz publishes
KosherGram, a new bulletin
for kosher consumers which
has more than 10,000
subscribers including hun-
dreds of synagogues, day
schools, yeshivot, hospitals,
nursing and retirement
homes. It is mailed to 46
states including Hawaii and
ten foreign countries in-
cluding Israel, Canada, Mex-
ico, Australia, South Africa,
Holland, Japan, England,
Greece and France. To receive
the KosherGram, call the
Merkaz office, 967-2667.
The Merkaz provides educa-
tional materials and pro-
grams to local day schools and
presents forums with na-
tional kashrut authorities to
the Detroit Jewish
community.
SZ Forming
Chavurot
Cong. Shaarey Zedek is in-
terested in forming new
chavurot for its members. A
chavurah is an opportunity
for small groups of Jewish
families and singles of all
ages who share common in-
terests to meet together on a
regular basis for celebration,
socializing, study and
friendship.
Persons who are presently
involved in a chavurah or
wish to join one are invited to
a kickoff event on Jan. 17, at
7 p.m. at the synagogue. For
information, contact Rabbi
William Gershon, 357-5544.
Yeshiva Army
Exemptions
Criticized
Tel Aviv (TPA) — Public at-
tention was focussed last
week on the sizable number
of yeshiva students exempted
from military service. Prime
Minister Yitzhak Shamir and
Foreign Minister Shimon
Peres agreed it is unfair and
does not serve the national
interest.
Shamir said that "the
wholesale exemption of
yeshiva students from service
is splitting the nation in two."
Peres proposed that exemp-
tions should be reduced to the
number necessary to main-
tain the religious schools, not
make them a haven for draft
dodgers.
He told the Knesset's For-
eign Affairs and Security
Committee that "the criteria
for exemptions have appar-
ently changed since 1977, and
we ought to examine the
reasons why."
Israeli law requires that all
able-bodied citizens serve in
the armed forces when they
reach the age of 18. Men are
required to serve for three
years and women for two
years. But yeshiva students
are excused as long as they
pursue their religious studies.
