STUDENTS FOR ISRAEL
A copy of the Israel Weekly Perspective has just arrived on my desk. It is a two-page news publication on Israel, printed for campus use by the Student Mobilization for Israel during the school term, and now continued through the summer by the Israel Student Alliance for distribution to Jewish camps. The alliance, formed originaUv by university students Ken Green. Sharon Mintz. Daphne Intratpr, Miriam Grossman and Rose Zoltek. operates for the summer only. They also put out fact sheets, available for program and bulletin use, on such topics as - the PLC. Arab foreign investments, the UN. and Christian viewpoints.

BON APPETIT
Due to limitations, colleague Sheldon Kirshher was not able to sample food in all Jewish-style, kosher. Middle East and Jewish-area restaurants. One that he might have enjoyed opened after he completed his series. According to The CJN Associate Editor Lewis Levendel, the Chefs Table at 636 Sheppardi west. of Bathurst. is an oasis of gourmet dining in that rather barren area, gastronomi-cally speaking. The chef and co-owner was at one tiine personal chef of actress Audrey Hepburn and General Franco.
A FRIENDSHIP PROGRAM
Befriending and . helping senior citizens is earning college credits for a group of students at the University of Miami. Through a B'nai B'rith Hillel Foundation project, called Chaver (friend). 35 students are paired with cldcriy Jewish men and women in the Miami Beach area. Each student spends up to 10 hours a week reading, talking, shopping, sightseeing and even celebrating Jewish holidays with his or her Chavcr. The friendship program is accepted by the university as an independent study course and as part of a volunteer project of its Centre for Urban Studies.
TO TIP, OR NOT TO TIP
The latest tip from Israel is, don't tip public servants. Apparently the disciplinary court for Israeli public servants has declared that it is unlawful to tip government employees. This statement came as a result of a case in which an employee of the Communications Ministry w:^s disciplined for taking a tip when he installed a telephone. As the court put it — offering a tip to a public servant "is hot in good taste and constitutes both an insult to the individual himself and an affront to the moral standing of the public service."
HOLIDAY DEADLINE
Due to the Civic Holiday, the deadline for the Aug. 8 columns has been moved to noon Thursdav. the 31st.

The "mistake" in question was the dessert: an upside-down apple pastty with a French flavor, called Tarte Tatfa. When the luncheon took place, dessert was a runaway success. So much so. that a number of women who had attended the lunch-: eon, subsequently came to the pastr>' kitchens to find out how to make Tarte Tatin — and there the whole story came out. According to the Hil-

JERUSALEM —
Some months ago. when Leah Rabin, wife of Israel Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, arranged a special luncheon for Nancy Kissinger at the new Jerusalem Hilton hotel, no one but the menu-planners knew that the elegant and sophisticated wife of the American . Secretary of State, was to be served a well-rehearsed mistake.

213 cup butter or margarine
3 114 lbs. cooking apples, peeled, cored and
cut into quarters 112 tsp. cinnamon

played active role at WJC meeting
TORONTO —
Canadians played an active role in the recent deliberations of the gov-crnintj body of the World Jew ish Congress, the C»)nrcrencc of Jewish Material Claims against Germany and the Memorial Ft)undation of Jewish Culture in Geneva.
Lavy Becker of Montreal was elected chairman i>r the WJC Standing Commission on Small Comnumitics and Leon Kronit/ of Montreal was chosen vice-chairman of the Cultural Commission. And Monroe Abbey of .Montreal, a long-time WjC leader, was elected JKMunarv vice-chairman of I he WJC.
Sol Kance of Winnipeg. • WJC treasurer. Canadian Jewibh Congress President Sydney M. Harris of Toronto and CJC Executive Committee Chairman Prof. Perry Meyer of Montreal also took part in the deliberations..
Harris also told of a meeting he had with Dr. Veniamin Levich's son in Geneva. The Soviet Jewish electrochemist has been prt)mised that he will be allowed to leave the USSR by the end of 1975.„ The sons, who were recently permitted to leave Russia, urged Canadians to ask Soviet representatives for assurance the promise will be carried.
Harris pointed out the sons, both scientists, said , that as pressure from the outside \y6rld goes down, pressure against the Jews in the USSR goes up. "As long as there is pressure, it.makcs conditions much better for Jews remaining in the Soviet Union," Harris said he was told.
The WJC has called for a f special meeting to
review all programs re-uarcUui; Soviet Jewry.
Some of the other dcvelopinents Harris i^e-ported were;
The WJC rejected the resolution against Zionism at the Irtter-iiafiiinal Women's Year Conference in Mexico City, pointing out Israel has given full political rights to wonicn.
— It agreed to take steps to try to encourage (he rescue of the Falasha Jews in Ethiopia.
—- Nahum Goldmann told the Claims Conference he's negotiating for substantially larger sums from West Germany and is trying to get funds from F.ast Germany and Au.s-tria.
— There was criticism of the cost of having the meetings in Geneva, one of the most expensive cities in the world. Transportation and per diem allowances are paid to the delegates.
— The M e mo rial Foundation of Jewish. Culture for the first time made a commitment that the Association of Jewish Survivors are to be represented on the IS^member executive.

ton's pastry chef. Tarte Tatin is , what resulted when a certain Madame Tatin burned a tnixture of apples, butter aind sugar, which she then tried to cover up with pastry dough. After baking, the tart is reversed so that the caramelized apple mixture covers the pastty.
The Larousse Gastro-nomigue calls the pastry the Tarte des Denaoiselles Tatin, and makes no mention of any mistake. The Larousse recipe calls for baking the tart with "glowing embers of charcoal." and the tart itself is
served hot.
The Hilton's recipe is simpler, cuts out the nonsense about glowing embers, and recommends that the'tart be served cold, with whipped cream or ice cream on the side.
1 plan to produce Tarte Tatin with a flourish when Rosh Hashanah comes~ round. But at this point, 1 should like to invite readers to send me recipes of their own favorite dishes, pastries or confections for the forthcoming holidays of the month of Tishri: Rosh Hashanah, pre- and post-fast Yom
Kippur, Succoth, and Simchat Torah.
If your. recipe is the spbctality of some particular community, city, or part of the world, and you know something about its background, 1 should like to hear from you." If your ■recipe is simply a tradi-~tional family favorite, I should be glad to hear about that, too.
Please write to me care of The Canadian Jewish News. If I can make your recipes succeed in my kitchen, I shall do my best to publish as many of them as time and space allow.
