SHELLI LIEBMAN DORFMAN Staff Writer ore than 100 shoppers took home more than just groceries from the Farmer Jack supermarket they visited in West Bloomfield on April 24. A diorama of a kosher kitchen set up at the end of the store's kosher food aisle provided an intriguing way to introduce shoppers to various aspects of keeping a kosher home. Volunteers from the Lubavitch Women's Organization, along with Lieber's Kosher Food Products, spon- sored the Kosher Day event. Besides trying kosher food samples, Farmer Jack shoppers were given brochures on keeping kosher and infor- mation on a challah-baking class.

Those who viewed the small, kosher kitchen display saw a model of what a kosher kitchen can include. "There were separate dishes, pots, burners and counters for dairy and for meat," says Miriam Amzalak of Oak Park, one of the volunteers. "And all of the food has kosher symbols," indicating its conformance to standards of kashrut (laws of kosher) Marsha Trimas of Farmington Hills took home Spice and Spirit: The Complete Kosher Jewish Cookbook by Esther Blau, a prize she won in a free-to- enter raffle. "Two lucky families took advantage of a 50 percent rebate offer, for up to $200 of the cost of koshering (making kosher) their kitchens," Amzalak says. "This will cover some of the cost of new dishes and koshering old vessels." For interested groups, the Lubavitch Women's Organization can provide speakers to discuss kashrut. Rabbis and teachers will make home visits to answer questions and provide help in making a home kosher. Now it is easier and more conven- ient than ever to maintain a kosher home," Amzalak says. "Kosher meats are available in kosher butcher shops. Many prepared convenience foods, canned, frozen, baked or boxed foods, bear some symbol of kashrut supervision and are available in thousands of supermarkets throughout the country." ❑ For information on keeping a kosher home, or on the rebate offer; which will remain in effect indefinitely, call Miriam Amzalak at (248) 967-5056 ,vm vlzw: :t 4 6473 Farmington Rd. at Maple •West Bloomfield Er Farmington• 248.865.0815 Ami ADMIRAL OPTIFAL- known for its prices & service GREAT MOTHER'S DAY GIFT!
