t was a historic and gala week in
Detroit 62 years ago. The city and
the state of Michigan celebrated the
Tercentenary of Jews in America. To say
the least, it was a big deal.
First, the Detroit Historical Museum
opened an “impressive” exhibit celebrating
the Tercentenary: “Jewish Life and Culture
in Detroit.” Participating in the opening
ceremony was JN editor and publisher
Philip Slomovitz, chairman of the Detroit
“Committee of 300 for the American
Jewish Tercentenary,” and Charles E.
Feinberg, chairman of the exhibitions

committee. Rabbis Benjamin H.
Gorrelick and Richard Hertz gave the
prayers.
There was also planning for
numerous events throughout the
fall in Detroit, including exhibitions,
radio shows, book events and activi-
ties for children. And, there was a major
community dinner on Oct. 12 at the
Statler Hotel, where the featured speaker
was Dr. Abba Hillel Silver, who was billed
as American Jewry’s most distinguished
leader and orator. The state of Michigan
was busy as well — both the Senate and

House passed a
concurrent
resolution in rec-
ognition of the
American Jewish
Tercentenary.
The Sept. 10,
1954, issue of the JN has the complete
story. It makes one wonder what will be
done in 2054 to celebrate 400 years of
Jewish history in America.

Please explain
the omega 3 fats
in our diet.

Thanks,
Silvia

Dear Silvia,
Omega 3 fats have been shown to
regulate blood pressure, a factor in blood
clotting, cause blood vessel dilation, lower
cholesterol, retard information, and regulate
gastric acid, and reduce cancer risks. Omega
6 fats serve as a precursor to thromboxane
that causes platelet aggregation and blood
vessel constriction; both risk factors of
cardiovascular disease.

Fatty Foods To Reduce:
X Egg Yolks
X Red meats
X Hamburgers and hot dogs
X Fried foods and fatty meats and fatty
snacks
XButter and saturated fats
X High fat ice creams
X Pies cakes cookies
X Transfer fats
X Hydrogenated soybean oils

Substitutes For Fatty Foods:
X Egg whites or egg beaters
X Fish, white means, lean poultry
X Nonfat or low fat dairy
X Olive oils
X Lower sodium foods by comparing
labels of similar products
X More plant based products
X Olive oils, vegetable oils (no trans fats)
coconut oils

Beware High Fat Diets:
It is a known fact that a diet high in fat
(saturated fat, trans fats, omega 6 fats and
cholesterol, found in food from a "living
mother") is linked to heart disease, cancers,
and obesity. The type of fat consumed is
important, as moderate amounts of omega 3
fatty acids and monounsaturated fatty acids
are healthy when not in extreme amounts.
A diet high in saturated fats (trans fatty
acids) and hydrogenated vegetable oils from
margarine, shortening, and cholesterol,
leads to high insulin levels and many health
diseases.
Good fats tend to be found in foods that
have not gone through processing.
