The good old days

SPECIAL TO THE JEWISH NEWS

Once upon a time I lived in par-
adise.
When I was little, my father
would take my older brother and
me to breakfast at a small bakery
— the Bagel Paradise. The bak-
er, a huge man with powerful
forearms, always greeted us from
behind the counter. Smiling, he
A would slice up large poppyseed
bagels and spread them with
fresh cream cheese.
Slightly crunchy on the outside,
soft and tender inside, his bagels
easily filled us until lunchtime.
There are at least half-a-dozen
"gourmet" bakeries within a few
blocks of my home and each
boasts an impressive menu of
bagels. Some are made with
_ cheddar cheese, others with zuc-
/
chini. There are whole wheat
bagels and ones made with rose-
mary. Every morning, crowds of
people line up for their bagels and
French or Colombian roasted cof-
fees. It took just one visit for me
to realize that something has been
lost.
`Today's ersatz bagels are man-
ufactured at high speed and the
doughs used are very simple,"
says Arnold Dworkin, owner of
Kaufman's Bagel and Deli-
catessen in Skokie, M. "Old-style
bagels are made more slowly with
a more complex mix of ingredi-
ents. They eat differently."
Kaufman's, which sits smack
in the middle of an old Jewish
neighborhood, reminds me of that
bakery my family visited so long
/— I ago. It's a weathered, flat-roofed
store, settled in with other older
shops and businesses. A cus-
tomer takes a ticket and waits his
or her turn.
There's plain, onion or poppy-
seed bagels and a hearty selection
of breads and rolls — nothing fan-
cy and no gourmet coffee.
Mr. Dworkin's father estab-
lished Kaufman's in the 1920s.
In those days, it was a European
bakery and sold a variety of rolls
and breads.
"A lot of people steam their
bagels," says Mr. Dworkin. "We
boil them. It's superior because
the bagel gets a nice, pliable skin
and it takes out some of the
starch."
I'm a long way from my child-
hood. But when I make the trip
across town to Kaufman's and
pick up some fresh bagels, it feels
a lot closer. ❑

National Jewish Center for Learning and Leadership, they maintained a close, per-
sonal relationship with CLAUs founder, Rabbi Irving ("Yitz") Greenberg and with the
famed Talmud commentator, Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz.
A community leader in her own right, Beverly Baker is a Life Member of the
National Council of Jewish Women, a past Presidium-Member of the Brandeis
