Patio Doors 1M) Special to The Jewish News N ew York — Homeless men and women in New Haven have been coming around Yale Universi- ty every Sunday night, hav- ing heard they could get a free and nourishing meal there. What they didn't know was that the food they were eating was kosher. The homeless have been once-a-week dinner guests for several months at an Orthodox-sponsored food facility at Yale University. The facility is one of 20 kosher dining clubs sponsored throughout the United States by the National Council of Young Israel. It is the only one of the 20 to participate in a citywide program of feeding the hungary and the homeless. The Yale program was started last February, accor- ding to Rabbi Michael Whit- man, head of the Young Israel of New Haven and adviser — and occasional cook — for the Young Israel "soup kitchen." Alan Goldberg and David Kahan, Yale students and members of the kosher club, where the originators of the The homeless who come for a meal have not been a problem. The kitchen fills in once a week for area churches. idea of making the kosher feeding facility a component of the city's network of soup kitchens. That program is known as the Downtown Evening Soup Kitchen (DESK). The Young Israel facility provides the free meals for - the homeless only on Sunday, when the kitchen is closed to Yale's faculty members and students. That works out well, because the five churches par- ticipating in the DESK pro- gram serve food to the homeless the other six days of the week. On Sundays, they provide worship facilities to their congregants. The Young Israel students were helped in organizing the Sunday night dinner program by Brother Denys, a member • Expertly installed for maximum efficiency • Insulated glass • Solid vinyl in almond and white • _European tilt and turn doors • Low 'E' glass .\\I)\( tt tm.tzt %NI Hit t\1; I , tt iti!..(Al Custom Exterior Products Inc, *FREE ESTIMATES •.1 21248 Hilltop, Southfield 354-4490 9 a.m.-5 p.m. MON-SAT MIREILLE BOUTIQUE Versatile Designs Created By Mireille Including: • Wool Jersey Separates • Spandex • Fleece • and occasional silk pieces An American homeless: A growing problem. of the Wandering Monks of Emmaus. The Wandering Monks are a society of men and women who work with the spiritually and physical- ly homeless. Brother Denys, a director of DESK, helped fit the Young Israel facility into the DESK program. The cook and two helpers are Orthodox Jews who work Monday through Friday as paid employees. The facility is open for breakfast and lunch on Saturdays, when no cook- ing is done. For Sundays, the students with the help of Rabbi Whitman and Father Denys — cook, prepare the tables and serve the meals to the homeless. They also do the necessary housework after their guests have eaten and departed. Brother Denys arranged for the Young Israel facility to get food from a local food bank. Since that source has no kosher provisions, "that gap was met by an arrange- ment with Lubavitcher of- ficials in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn," Whit- man said. Initially parents were a lit- tle nervous about their children working in a large- ly deserted campus. But Goldberg and Whitman agreed that the homeless who come for a meal have not been a problem to the students. Goldberg explained that when he sees the homeless, he realizes that he comes from "a very privileged background."

If your child does NOT have C F or another serious lung-damaging disease, he has nothing to lose by checking with a doctor, or taking a simple diagnostic test. If your child DOES have C F, or another condition that could damage his lungs, he has a lot to lose by not having the chance for early diagnosis and prompt effective medical care.
