VOLVO for life curdles, sprinkle with salt. Place two layers of cheesecloth, slightly damp, over sink. Pour curdled milk over. Collect remaining solids and tie into a bundle inside the cheesecloth.

What it actual- ly means is that Jews have supervised the production of this dairy product from beginning to end, to make cer- tain that nothing treif has entered it. (Not only the meat, but all products from non-kosher animals are forbid- den for consumption. Horses and pigs, for example, produce milk to feed their babies.) Most Jews do not observe chalav Yisrael because it's rea- sonable to believe that here in the United States what's labeled "cow's milk" is indeed just that (can you imagine the kinds of lawsuits that would ensue if American consumers discovered they were actually drinking donkey milk?). Certainly years ago, however, in Eastern Europe (and still in some places there today) you could- n't be sure what was in your milk (not to mention your food), so chalav Yisrael made a great deal of sense. 25) There's kosher Dominos Pizza, Burger King and McDonald's.

Ben and Jerry's even has its own factory in Israel, at 1 Hameisav St. in Yavne. 26) OK, Israel has Ben & Jerry's, but does it have your favorite flavor?

Stir slightly, then add 1/2 oz. milk. Drink immediately. 111 Since 1986 STEVEN TARNOW, C.R. (248) 626-5603 PREFERRED BUILDING CO.
