Food For Thought ■ -.-.6. ir o THE DE TROI T JEWISH NEWS When's Rosh Hashanah? yto m Rosh Hashanah to Ramadan, Tet Purim, Ash Wednesday to Kwan- zaa, they're all there. All the religious and ethnic holidays ob- served by America's diverse population. The Anti-Defama- tion League's 1994-95 ADL Memo and Date Book lists all the holidays and describes their significance. The idea is to help avoid conflicts anted: Cartoonists, ani- mators, puppeteers, songwriters, script writ- ers and other creative talent. You're needed to help teach Re- form Jewish pre-school children about the religious, cultural and historical aspects ofJudaism. The Union of American He- brew Congregations (UAHC) has launched a video project un- der the auspices of its TV & Film Institute. An initial 25- minute pilot video featuring original cartoon and/or puppet characters and live actors is planned. If the pilot proves successful, it will be the first in a series of videos. In addition, spin-offs like books, workbooks and audio tapes are on the drawing board. Initial support for the project has been provided by an en- dowment from the Tines fami- ly through Roger Tiller of Great Neck, N.Y., a UAHC trustee and vice chairman of the Coun- cil of Overseers of the Mlles Cen- ter for the Performing Arts at Long Island University. All proposals will be held in confidence, said Rabbi Daniel M. Syme, senior vice president of the UAHC.

An, Imre(' n estimated 8,000 buyers from more than 30 states Aan d three continents are expected to converge on Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., Dec. 7-8 for the interna- tional Kosher Food Trade Show, also known as Kosherfest '94.

Worwrf6 \7iw of 16raf41 eoffrey Weill, director of the American Jewish Congress' international travel pro- gram, says there are many rea- sons behind the two-week "Israel ... A Women's View" tours offered by the AJCongress. `These trips evolved, first and foremost, because of AJCongress' longtime commitment to Jewish feminism," Mr. Weill said. "But the Women's View' concept has unintentionally helped us remedy a predicament. "Because the number of single women traveling anywhere in the world in- variably outweighs the number of single men, at- tempts to organize tours for single travelers, particu- larly the upper-age groups, almost always result in groups made up entirely, or almost entirely, of women. "The Women's View,' with its legitimate concen- tration on subjects of spe- cial interest to American Jewish women, transforms a negative experience into a positive one." Besides a "traditional" tour of Israel, the "Women's View" in- cludes visits with Israeli women and exposure to women's issues in the country. Remaining departures this year are set for Aug. 14, Oct. 9 and Nov. 6. Next year, they are March 5, May 21, July 2, Aug. 13 and Oct. 22. For information, call the AJCongress, 1-800-221-4694.
