FOOD Sweet Year Continued from Page 82 sive as complicated pro- cedures are required in order to control infestations of spider mites and fungus, both of which attack the larvae. Although Israeli bees pro- duce most of their honey in spring, the demand is greatest at Rosh Hashanah, autumn time, so the honey has to be kept in storage un- til then. One of the traditions of the Jewish New Year is to dip an apple in honey and recite the prayer: "May it be Thy will 0 Lord our God and God of our fathers, to renew unto us a good and sweet year." Israeli beekeepers have had additional problems this year because of the drought, with spring flowers, the major source of nectar, blooming late and the citrus blossom- ing lasting 10 days less than usual. As a result, production was reduced by half and amounted to only 1,500 tons. Of this, 95 percent is for the NOW is the time . • to Smardease a New 1992 Eldorado or Seville %!!! with rates as low as 2, e . 1-696 at Van Dyke (4 minutes East of 1-75) YOSI'S GMT MART 1 U K 7 h I Full Service Glatt Kosher Butcher with minimum order THIS WEEK'S SPECIALS LEAN BEEF FRESH/FROZEN GROUND TURKEY HAMBURGER PATTIES White Meat Dark Meat $3.49 $2.99 lb. lb. while supplies last $2.19 lb. $1.50 Savings HOT SOUP made fresh daily while supplies last Special Hours: We will be closed Friday, Dec. 27th & Sunday, Dec. 29th Open Wednesday, December 25th, 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Wednesday, January 1st, 10 a.m.-2 p.m. All kashrut laws strictly observed under the supervision of the Council of Orthodox Rabbis Tiffany Plaza 32839 Northwestern Highway (1 block southeast of 14 Mile) Yossell & Susan (Hollander) Kellman • hl& Food 855-8830 it Warehouse+ MON-SAT 9-9 ORCHARD 12 PLAZA 27885 ORCHARD LAKE RD.

During boun- tiful years, the surplus is ex- ported to the glatt kosher market in Europe, Scan- dinavia and the U.S., although the Israel Beekeepers' Association is planning to increase exports in the near future. Israelis' annual consump- tion of honey is half a kilo per person, the same in the United States, but with the recent influx of honey-lovers — the Ethiopian Jews — that could all change. In the villages of their native Ethiopia, the Jews would hang baskets in trees to at- tract bees and serve as hives, then chew the comb with the honey in it. Now celebrating their first Rosh Hashanah in Israel, the new Ethiopian ar- rivals, like Jews everywhere, are praying that the coming year will be a good and sweet one for all. ❑ SKIERS Compare our prices...

Editorial staff members plan to establish a company that would raise funds to buy about 10 percent of Mr. Maxwell's holdings, which are being sold by Alan Katz, who represents the admin- istrators of Mr. Maxwell's estate. Shares in the purchasing company would be held by several hundred members of the Ma'ariv's editorial, business and press workers staffs. Mr. Maxwell, who died mysteriously at sea Nov. 5, had acquired some 80 per- cent of the stock of the Modi'in Publishing House which owns Ma'ariv. The Shimon Herfetz group owns 15 percent of the re- maining shares and Dov Judkovsky, editor in chief of the newspaper and a relative by marriage of Mr. Maxwell, owns 5 percent. The Jerusalem Post re- ported last week that Israeli businessman Ya'acov Nimrodi has offered Katz $13 million for Mr. Max- well's share. Mr. Nimrodi made an un- successful bid to buy the Jerusalem Post last year, los- ing out to the Canadian- based Hollinger publishing group. Mr. Hollinger is now said to be interested in the Ma'ariv shares on sale. Ma'ariv appears to be unaffected by the scandals which have surrounded Mr. Maxwell's debt-ridden em- pire since his death. Last week, Mr. Maxwell's flagship international Eng- lish-language newspaper, the European, went under, publishing its last edition only a year and a half after it was started with great fan- fare. And in New York, workers at the veteran Daily News, which Mr. Maxwell rescued in March, worried over who would or could now buy the bankrupt daily. Mr. Maxwell's son, Kevin, had suggested that the News' workers take a hand in purchasing their own paper. The News' pensions were not affected. Ma'ariv management said its pension fund was safe and intact. And Mr. Katz said last week that his negotiations for the sale of Ma'ariv shares are going ahead as planned with in- vestors in Israel and abroad. He said the shares were a "fine asset" and that the ob- jectives of Mr. Maxwell's administrators "are the same as those of the Ma'ariv management, its editorial board and its employees."
