Mitchell is the clear choice for clerk. West Bloomfield Eccentric June 26, 2008 No Cheese With Chicken I'm concerned that the wrong message is being sent to some readers. My spe- cific concern regards a recipe on the Food page in the July 3 issue ("Perfect Salads," A33). The recipe includes chicken and cheese. The title of the newspaper is still the Detroit Jewish News and you still espouse Jewish identity. However, to include a blatantly non-kosher recipe, or even one that cannot be made kosher by substitution, is (in my opin- ion) wrong and can give readers the idea that "anything goes" within the scope of Judaism. I hope you will reconsider the types of recipes you include in the future. People learn from reading publications such as yours and it would be a shame to teach that there's no reason not to separate meat from milk.

Members of Jewish communities throughout the United States should be proud of the long his- tory of service Jews have always given to our country through our military branches. I do note in the concluding sec- tion, "Supporting Our Jewish Troops:' a supporting organization's name is missing! The Jewish War Veterans (JWV) is the oldest of all veterans' organizations. Since 1896, JWV has been providing supporting programs to not only veterans, but to those on active duty. JWV's many departments actively promote veterans' benefits in Congress. Their success was evident recently with the passage of the New GI Bill, signed into law by President Bush on June 30. In addition, JWV's outstanding "SOS Program: Support our Soldiers" sends packages of essential supplies, including kosher food items, to Jewish soldiers serving around the globe. A visit to JWV's Web site will show- case the vast array of services that JWV provides. There is no charge for JWV membership to those service men and women who are on active duty. For further information on Jewish War Veterans, contact State Commander Gerald Order at Glorder@ comcast.net and visit the JWV Web site: www.jwv.org. a) Copyright 2008, Jewish Renaissance Media Our JN Mission ‘., '2 ;..10e Rd ti The Jewish News aspires to communicate news and opinion that's useful, engaging, enjoyable and unique.
