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. at lin UX111.401" MEM FOR JEWISH AGED r JOIN US AND BE A PART OF THE TEAM THAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE.

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.
