f you're sick, try some chicken soup. If
you're depressed, try some chicken soup.
If you're tired, try some chicken soup.
But what kind? With dill or without?
With beef bones or not? With a lot of carrots
or just a few?
Everybody thinks he has the best chicken-
soup recipe, so why not have a cook-off to see
who really does? Ask all your friends to pre-

children 12 and older

pare a pot of their best chicken soup. Then
everybody set a time to meet and cast votes
for the tastiest concoction.
Consider, too, having everyone make a copy
of her recipe for everybody else, so in addition
to participating in the contest, each person
will have a chicken-soup cookbook to take
home.

land was Great Britain's first

chief rabbi to be knighted.

He was born in 1921 in

Koenigsberg, Germany, where

his father, Julius, was rabbi of

the local Orthodox congregation.

Immanuel Jakobovits studied

Torah at the Jews' College and

at the Etz Hayyim Yeshivah in

London. Before being named

England's chief rabbi, he served

as chief rabbi of Dublin and to

the Jewish communities

throughout Ireland, as head of

the Fifth Avenue Synagogue in

New York, and as chief rabbi of

the United Hebrew Congrega-

tions of the British Common-

wealth.

Queen Elizabeth II knighted

Rabbi Jakobovits in 1981, hon-

oring him for promoting good re-

lations between Jews and

gentiles. Rabbi Jakobovits also

served in the British House of

Lords beginning in 1988.

Something Old, Something New

is never too late to let friends and family know
you're thinking of them as the new year begins.
But instead of doing the predictable thing and
buying Rosh Hashanah cards, why not make
your own?
A number of art-supply stores sell pre-made cards
for you to design, or you can create your own from
any blank sheet of paper.
One decorating idea is to make the cards look
old-fashioned. At flea markets and antique stores
throughout metro Detroit, you can find postcards,
cutouts and advertisements from the turn of the
century that you can use to design your cards.
Also, think about using paper doilies or ribbons,
or maybe some paint or glue-on shapes, available
at craft stores.

pennies for tzedakah, but
they're looking a little
worse for wear, why not
give the coins a nice bath
before you send them to
your favorite charity?
You will need:
white vinegar
a glass jar
old pennies
salt
water
towel
measuring spoons
Mix 3 tablespoons of
vinegar with 1 tablespoon
of salt in your jar. Then
drop in the pennies, and in
a matter of minutes they'll
be clean again.
Note: BE
CAUTIOUS with
the vinegar and
salt mixture, which
can sting if it comes in
contact with your
skin.

Parsha Project

The coming week's Torah
portion, Deuteronomy 31:1-
30, is Veyelekh. Moshe pre-
pares the Jews for the
leadership of Joshua. God
prepares Joshua for his
new role.
Moshe commits the
Torah to written form and
gives it to the Levites to be
placed in the ark of the
covenant. Moshe establish-
es the mitzvah of hakhel:
every seven years after the

close of the sabbatical year,
or shmita, on Sukkot, the
entire Jewish people will
gather to hear portions of
the Torah (from the book of
Devarim, Deuteronomy)
read aloud.
Once again, God tells
Moshe that the Jews will
abandon Judaism and they
will be punished for it. God
commands Moshe to write
the poem Ha-azinu as a re-
minder to the Jews of their

obligations under the
Torah. God orders Moshe to
gather the Jews and re-
cite the poem to them.
For a project, draw a
picture of what you
think the hakhel cere-
mony looked like — all
of the Jews gathered in
Jerusalem to hear parts
of the Torah read by the
king of Israel.
