QUICK CLICK ... Vignettes From The JN Archives
hroughout the 1940s, the Detroit
Jewish News contained an
abundance of advertisements
that promoted nutritional foods and a
healthier lifestyle. In October of 1942,
for example, the JN ran an ad for the
United Dairies Inc., a company still in
operation in 2014. Titled "Tommy Talks
About Nutrition to Keep U.S. Fit," it was
intended to promote milk, the United
Dairies "Hi-Test" Dairy Products and
the U.S. government's nutrition chart.
The comic strip promoted a healthier
lifestyle by attempting to creatively

As we get ready to sit down at the Pesach
seder, another seder comes to mind —
under totally different circumstances.
It was 71 years ago, on the seder's
night, April 19, 1943, that the Warsaw
Ghetto Uprising erupted to become
known as the ultimate in human struggle
for freedom and dignity.
But unlike our Hebrew ancestors
under the great and courageous lead-
ership of Moses, the heroic figures of
the Warsaw Ghetto could not hope for
freedom, not even for mere survival. For
them, the redemption of Jewish honor
and dignity, so cruelly trampled upon by
the Nazis, was a good enough cause to
fight to the bitter end, and so they did.
The Haggadah is replete with read-
ings; however, the most important state-
ment that actually summarizes what the
Pesach celebration is all about is: "In
every generation a person should regard
himself as if he personally came out of
Egypt."
Indeed, we are celebrating these days
of Pesach, also called the Festival of
Freedom, not merely to remind ourselves
of our people's deliverance from slavery
in Egypt into freedom and nationhood,
but rather to relive this deliverance b'chol
dor valor, in every generation.

erage in last week's issue of the boycott
resolution considered by the University
of Michigan Ann Arbor campus Central
Student Government ("Hail To The
Victors:' page 1). Combating anti-Israel
boycott, divestment and sanctions activity
(BDS) is a combination of strategies, from
"putting out fires" to building key relation-
ships to mobilizing grassroots networks.
One such network created on a national
level is the Israel Action Network, a joint
project of the Jewish Council for Public
Affairs and the Jewish Federations of North
America. Detroit's Jewish Community
Relations Council (JCRC) has hosted Israel
Action Network professionals three times
since its creation for successful Israel advo-
cacy training and leadership briefings.
The JCRC and other local Israel advo-
cates are preparing to activate during
the lead-up to the June 2014 national
Presbyterian assembly in Detroit, where
anti-Israel resolutions are expected to be
considered. And these pro-Israel orga-
nizations will continue to work against
BDS activity on Michigan campuses, in
churches, in the media and by commu-
nity groups that sponsor anti-Israel films
and speakers.

excite children to not only go grocery
shopping for healthier foods, but to also
"save gas and tires" by walking to the
store.
This ad was published during
World War II, when tires and gas were
rationed.
Only one "Tommy Talk" was
ever published in the JN, but it is an
interesting peek into the era. And, it
also demonstrates that more than 70
years ago, nutrition was still considered
an important part of everyone's daily
lives.
