#44) Consider preparing, ei-
ther in illustrated book or play
form, Jewish versions of your fa-
vorite fairy tales. Imagine, for ex-
ample, that the three bears were
sitting down for a meal of cholent
instead of porridge. Or maybe
the princess was sleeping on
hundreds of mattresses atop a
piece of matzah, instead of a pea.
Or perhaps Little Red Riding
Hood could be saved by a young
rabbinical student, with the two
making aliyah after saving Red's
bubbie.

#45) Learn about the life of a
Jewish Nobel Prize winner.
, Some names to start with: Nel-
ly Sachs, David Baltimore,
Daniel Nathans, Melvin Calvin,
Max Born, James Franck, Ken-
neth Arrow, Paul Samuelson,
Burton Richter, Richard Will-
statter, Felix Bloch, Lev Landau,
Gabriel Lippmann, Arno Pen-
zias, Rene Cassin, Menachem
Begin, Baruch Blumberg, Karl
Landsteiner, Otto Loewi, Sal-
vador Luria, Alfred Fried, S.Y.
Agnon, Marshall Nirenberg,
Donald Glaser, Hage Bohr, Hen-
ri Moissan, Julian Schwinger,
Leonid Kantorovich.

#46) Learn a new bracha.
Jews are obligated to say a bless-
ing before eating or drinking
anything (not just bread and
wine), which is one good way of
remembering that we should al-
ways be grateful for having
enough to eat.
There also are brachot to be
said before smelling fragrances,
upon witnessing natural won-
ders or remarkable phenomena,
upon hearing thunder, putting
on a new garment, or seeing a
scholar.
In this environmentally con-
scious decade (remember Earth
Day, April 22), one nice blessing
to learn is "Blessed Art Thou, 0
Lord Our God, King of the Uni-
verse, who has withheld nothing
from this world and has created

#48) Make a medicine cabinet
filled with old Jewish remedies
for whatever ails you.
Can't stop coughing? Maybe
you need eggplant juice (guar-
anteed by grandmothers from
Turkey). Stomach bothering you?
Maybe you need some mint or
fennel herb tea, prescribed by
grandmas throughout Russia.
Nothing wrong with you but,
who knows, a cold could be right
around the corner? Chase your
fears away with a handkerchief
filled with peeled cloves of gar-
lic.

Jewish Kids Catalog by Chaya

#49) Spend one evening or af-
ternoon doing something you
vowed you would never, ever do.
You've always said you hate Is-
raeli dancing, but give it a try
(the Jewish Community Center
in West Bloomfield has Israeli
dancing every Wednesday night).
You swore you would never learn
Hebrew after all those awful af-
ternoons you spent in Hebrew
school. But try calling your syn-
agogue or temple, or the Agency
for Jewish Education, and ask-
ing what Hebrew classes are of-
fered. You insist you loathe
eggplant, but make a dish of Is-
raeli eggplant salad. You may
still hate it, but at least you can
say you gave it a try.

vorite Jewish thing to do is..."
Now do it. ❑
