Bj SARAH LIEBER At this time, whea I am temporarily incapacitated with a broken bone, it is doubly nice to have a long letter from our faithful correspondent from the Bronx, Ben Stern. Mr. Stern, the stage

is yours.

Dear Mrs. Lieber, Please excuse my long delay hi corresponding with you. I am

not a professional cook, as you surmised some .time ago, .but I have been a lover of f i n e foods all my life sad am always . trying to create new . dishes or am trying

to perfect the old standards by tightening up all the loose ends so they will be foolproof and will always work. I am always experimenting in my kitchen for something new and different. (Sometimes it is a very good cnococtioa hut it is not strictly kosher and I let it go by the boards.) The enclosed recipe for de luxe chocolate cookies, a dessert cookie, is something I always wanted to create and experimented with for almost It years before I finally got what I wanted. All the ether recipes are eriginal and 1 hope yoer read-

ers enjoy them.

Let me wish you a very happy

Hanukkah. Ben Stem

NO NUDES IS GOOD NUDES PARIS — What price modesty? Sumesnes, an industrial suburb of Paris, is angry with Union, an Israeli town near Tel Aviv. The two were named “twin cities” and the French city sent its Israeli counterpart a statue to stand in llolon’s new Surnesnes Square to honor the event. However the Union city council has refused to accept the statue. It explained that although it has Mapai majority, it was felt that the religious element in the city might object to the appearance in the square of a nude woman — even (hough she be just a piece of the ston- statuary.

and new recipes

Fold in, partly, with wooden spoon. Sift flour, salt, baking powder and cocoa. Sift again into chocolate mixture, stirring well after each addition of flour mixture. When all is thoroughly mixed allow to stand for a few moments; then, fill cookie press with dough, and press onto cookie sheet in various fancy shapes. Bake in slow oven, 250 degrees, until cookies no longer stick to sheet. Be very careful, as any cookie containing chocolate or molasses scorches very easily. (The eggs used in this recipe should weigh exactly two ounces in their shell before using.) Variations: One may vary the flavoring of these cookies by using extract of rum, orange, pineapple, raspberry, strawberry in place of vanilla. Then you may add about V<teas[x>on oil peppermint for a delightful dessert cookie, or add one teaspoon of instant coffee to the cocoa, for chocolate mocha flavor.

U.S. STUDENT IN ISRAEL WRITES:

The Rains Finally Came;

Reacts: What a Bomb!'

Dear Family, The rain finally came. It brought cold with it, alas. I’m sitting in my room shivering. Schora described it with “What a bomb!” A “bomb” is anything stupendous — a beautiful girl or an especially large fish or orange. You have to hear it in Hebrew to appreciate it. Carl Alpert knew what he was talking about. It isn’t often that I see our jets flying overhead that my blood isn’t set to tingling, and I'm just about as proud as hell. You can see the same thing on the faces of the u'.paiasts and you can see it on the faces of the kibbutzniks. There are some words in Hebrew which I get a kick out of. “To die” sounds like “met” in English and the word for “that’s the "vay things are” sounds like “kaxa,” which I just love to hear from the children. A favorite word among the ulpanists meaning “mind your own business” is heard continuously. 1 use it rather frequently myself because it is a cutting word. Taking stock; I’m continuing to progress in Hebrew: piano enthusiasm has declined somewhat; chess entliusiam ia up slightly; the children are less enthusiastic; my health is fine; Russian enthusiasm is up. So all in all, life is kind to me. Since we eat nothing but tomatoes and onions, and occasionally tiny pieces of fish and eggs for supper, whenever something extra is added it’s a real treat. Thus it is not surprising to hear, “Yippee, canned beans for supper.” For some time, I have thought

that 1 would like to live on a kibbutz, except that the w'ork is unappealing, to say the last. It's not that it is hard, but it’s boring as hell. Then, talking with a member of the kibbutz, it was revealed that he was a teacher. Then it hit me. So you can assume that my plan is to be a teacher on a kibbutz. Cantor Glass and two friends from Tel Aviv came to visit. We talked and ate lunch together, then took a couple of pictures. I never did get used to the ether cantors. I heard Cantor Glass for so many years and got used to his style so that the others seemed to do everything wrong. If I remember anything about Beth El, I will remember him. Love, Teddy
