THE QUESTION IS .. .
"WHAT'S IN A NAME?"
IN 1925, Auxiliary Jewish Home for Aged began
as the organizational arm of the Volunteer Corps
at Jewish Home for Aged.
TODAY, we thank our more than 1300 members
who help fund ongoing recreational and religious
programming as well as purchase therapeutic and
special need items for the Home.
ADDITIONALLY, we thank our more than 300 ded-
icated volunteers who provide invaluable service to
our elderly residents.
FUNDING SOURCES for our programming are pro-
vided through membership dues, Auxiliary operated
gift shops nosh nooks, tributes and special projects
as our Mezuzah Project and the BONUS DAYS RAF-
FLE CALENDAR which is being sold now.
TODAY, as we continue our support service to the
Jewish Home for Aged, Fleischman Residence/
Blumberg Plaza, and in order to continue our mis-
sion to our Jewish frail elderly, we have expanded
our role to include the residents of Menorah House
and the Marvin and Betty Danto Health Center.
THEREFORE, in June 1996, Auxiliary Jewish Home
for Aged officially became known as AUXILIARY
FOR JEWISH AGED.
THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION .. .
"WHAT'S IN A NAME?" Service, dedication
and commitment to the Jewish elderly for 71 years
and going forward. We pledge our continued sup-
port not just today, but into the next century. We are
prepared, we are ready and we will be there.

Kosher Bites
Manischewitz's new Cheddar Snacks aren't
worth the time.
JILL DAVIDSON SKLAR STAFF WRITER
ur tests of food items for
Kosher Bites are highly
sophisticated, intricately in-
volved and time consuming.
While on the surface it appears
as if we just put the food on the
lunchroom table with a sheet so-
liciting comments, the process is
much, much more complicated
than that. For example, one of the
more delicate tests by which we
measure the taste of a kosher item
at The Jewish News is the speed
with which it disappears.
Like vultures waiting for a
prey's last breath, my co-workers
circle packages of unopened food
items waiting to hear the tear of
the bag. If the food is scooped up
in piles, haphazardly slapped on
paper napkins and taken back to
cubicles where it is swiftly de-
voured, the item is good. If the co-
worker then comes back for more,
it is great. If there is a fight over
who gets to savor the crumbs or
who can lick the spoon, run out
and get some now.
Likewise, if the package lies
opened for days and people pick
at the food instead of gobbling it
up, that is a bad sign. The unspo-
ken message is that the food is not
fit for consumption.
Such was the case with the new
Cheddar Snacks line from Man-
ischewitz, makers of the kosher
wine in the screw top bottles. An
entire day after the three bags
were opened and left on the lunch-
room table, more than half re-
mained in each bag. Mind you,
these bags are not big; the shiny
white containers carry only 6
ounces of the treats.
The bear shaped treats come in
three flavors: original, zesty and
pizza. They carry with them per
serving 6 to 7 grains of fat, 480 to
500 milligrams of sodium, no cho-
lesterol, 17 grams of carbohy-
drates and three grams of protein.
The cost is $1.79 per bag and the
product is carried in major super-
markets where most Manische-
witz items are displayed.
O
THE RATINGS:
I like snack food. To me, it is the
long-lost fifth food group, right up
there with grains, meats, dairy
and fruits and vegetables.
Which is why I was so disap-
pointed in the Manischewitz
Cheddar Snacks. The cheese fla-
vor was about as far from cheddar
as possible. The zesty were not
zesty at all; the original were
about as exciting as oatmeal and
the pizza were pedestrian, at best.
I would not recommend buying
these items, much less serving
them.
Jewish News staffers, by and
large, agreed, giving all three fla-
vors forks down ratings.
ORIGINAL:
"Tasteless chewing chalk."
— Karen Indig
"Not cheesy enough but good
crunch value."
— Julie Edgar
"Tasted bland, almost like they
were stale."

— Susie Sherman
ZESTY:
"They forgot to put in the 'zest."'
— Man Taylor
"Yuck. I didn't like these at all."
— Deb Schultz
"Best of the three, but it needs
some flavoring."
— Burt Chassin
PIZZA:
`Hasn't the bear thing been clone
already?"
— Illana Greenberg
"Best of the bunch but still
bland."
— Mari Taylor
"IVot enough flavor but crunchy
enough. Leaves an aftertaste."
— Karen Indig
