Vice-chairmen are Cecily Peters of Toronto and Miriam Harrow of Montreal.

BAGEL BOYCOTT
This is a case of boycotting where it really hurts. From San Francisco State University comes word that Arab students and their friends have been picketing a stand on campus selling bagels, lox and cream cheese. The stand is run by a group of Jewish students calling themselves Student Struggle for Israel. This' group was formed recently to combat Arab propaganda and earnings from the food sale help pay for the distribution of pro-Israel leaflets arid information.

JERUSALEM —
Part of the character of the Sabbath is liberality in food and drink. It is said that we have a nefesh yeterah (an additional soul) on the Sabbath the better to appreciate the special joy and bounty of that day. In keeping with this, three meals are prescribed for the Sabbath.
The third meal: Sendah ShIlshit (often known as Shalosh Seudot) takes place after Mihtiah, the afternoon service. In winter, when dusk falls early. Seudah Shlishit may be no more than a slice of cake or tart accompanied by a cup of coffee or a glass of tea.
However in summer, there are several hours of daylight between the mid-afternoon and the conclusion of the Sabbath. In northern countries, at the height of the summer. Sabbath does not go out
until nearly 10 p.m. In Israel, since thie introduction of daylight-saving time, the Sabbath now goes on to the unwontedly late hour of 8:50 p.nii. in mid-summer.
Seudah Shlishit now becomes a more protracted and leisurely meal — a kind of light supper. It has a special mood of its own. Ideally, it is touched by a contemplative and. pensive atmosphere because of the imminent departure of the Sabbath. The festive cheer of the other two meals is lacking, and although zmirot (Sabbath table songs) are sung, the brisk, gay tempo is absent. It is traditional to connect this meal with the longing, for messianic redemption — for the time which will be one eternal Sabbath.
It must be admitted that there is often a more prosaic dimension to the particular atmosphere of

Seudah Shlishit. We are already rather full of food. Perhaps we have over-indulged ourselves. We have slept, prayed, strolled, and spent many hours entertaining or being entertained by family and friends, (perhaps the children are beginning to get on our nerves a little too...) The Sa:bbath has alinost run its course and, the next week is due to begin.
Fish is traditional for this meal as it is for all Sabbath meals. In the case of Seudah Shlishit, it especially recalls the legendary fish Leviathan. It is
said that the redemption will be ushered in by an inaugural meal- in which all will partake of this mighty fish.
Here is an excellent dish for Seudah Shlishit. It is a whole meal in itself, so that very little except challah, crisp salad vegetables and some fruit tart or stnidel will be needed to round out the meal.
The dish comes from Rumania and is called Gevetch. The recipe comes fix)m Helen Kahane of >yinnipeg, mother to former Canadian JeWish News reporter Ruth Kahane. Mrs. Kahane's
recipe, which is a long-standing. famUy favorite, was printed in a cookbook she edited for the Hadassah organization. Mrs. Kahane is this year's chairperson for.
