Have you thought of starting
the week with a mouth-watering
Mel's Chicago-style Hot Dog 
the kind that "pops" when you
bite into it? Nostalgia relived.
Mel Lohn's place is a wall-to-wall
testimonial of contented
customers who have passed his
way over the past 11 years. You
will find a story on the wall of
how the natural casings are
stuffed just so, to give that
special pop not too light nor
too heavy a hand packs them just
right and the saurkraut, well,
you've just got to see for your-
self. Unpretentious, casual
dining, a real fun place for the
family near Busch Gardens
Presently doubling in size to ac
commodate more hot dog lovers.

And just across the mall, you

to expand on a European flower
market concept, where flowers
can be bought by the stem or by

Tampa Welcomes Young Judaea
Young Judaea is an
autonomous Zionist Youth
Movement for American Jewish
Youth. It is the only national
program sponsored by Hadassah,
the Women's Zionist Organ-
ization of America. Over 10,000
young people are enrolled in this
program across the country. In
the Florida-Puerto Rico Region,
otherwise known as Or Hadarom-
Light of the South, 950 Judaeans
make up the largest Region in the
United States.
The Regional Director, Lisa
Synalovski, is a "product" of the
Movement, and has been in-
volved for over 10 years. Her love
for the Movement made her the
perfect candidate for the Director
position. Now beginning her
second year, Lisa and her staff
have returned to the Tampa
Jewish community.
The major thrust of the program-
ming is the development of Jew-
ish consciousness and the
cultivation of a dedication to
Zionism. Young Judaea is proud
of its authentic Israel-centered
program. The Movement gives
its members a rich vareity of
Jewish experiences which will
encourage them to make a
lifelong commitment to the
people of Israel and the State of
Israel.
Is Young Judaea just like all
the other youth groups in South
Florida? Definitely not! In ad-
dition to being a Zionist Move-
ment. Young Judaea is Peer Led.
The Ofarim (children in grades 4-
6) and Tsofim (grades 7 and 8)
clubs are led by high school age
Madrichim (leaders). All of these
leaders are required to be active
members of Bogrim Young
Judaea, which is the club for 9-
12th graders. Young Judaea
leaders to through vigorous
leadership training seminars as
well as monthly refresher
courses. Each leader's program-
ming is closely monitored by
Area Coordinators and Robin
Mendelson, who is the Regional
Ofarim-Tsofim Coordinator.
To ensure the effectiveness of
the educational programming in
the Movement, there are two
other professionals who work as
part of the office staff of Young
Judaea. Zeev Shafrir is the
Shaliach or messenger from Isra-
el who came here with his wife
Maureen and two children to help
encourage the chanichim
(members) to participate in
various Israel programs that
Young Judaea sponsors. Michelle
Rapchik is the Assistant Director
of Or Hadarom. She is a senior at
the University of Miami where
she is working on degrees in
Psychology and Judaic Studies.
Michelle and Zeev work together
to ensure effective and creative
programming in Young Judaea.
Judaeans believe that social
interaction with other Jewish
youth is important, but it is just
not enough. The Movement tries
to instill in its members pride in
themselves, their families, their
country, and their people. Most
important Young Judaea believes
that our commitment to our-
selves as a people is a highlighted
factor in convincing their
members of the elucid enemy,
"assimilation."
This year, once again, Young
Judaea will bring its creative
educational peer led Movement
to the Jewish community Tampa.
For further information about
Young Judaea call Gretta or
Erica Schiffman at 962-7166 or
Polly Grass at 977-9623, or call

Like Topsy, out of Audrey

Discussing anti-Semitism
among some Black intellectuals,
Abram said they had collabor-
ated with some politicians in
equating Zionism with racism.
Through this strategy, he said,
they were challenging "the very
essence of the Jewish State and
the honor and integrity of Israeli
supporters including those of
world Jewry."
"The passion of those who
cooked up this ideological plot,"
Abram stated, "was to brand
from Page 1
Zionist meaning Jewish and
Israeli as racists, and thus as
violators of the International
Treaty declaring racism to be a
crime. This has been the basis of
all the subsequent efforts to paint
Israel as an outlaw nation, to be
driven from the United Nations
and made fair game for ex-
tinction."
"I DO NOT for a moment
believe that the Black com-
munity is more anti-Semitic than
the white," Abram stated. "But I
observe that Black anti-Semitism
differs from the white variety in
two respects:

EDITOR. The Jewish Floridian:
Recently, my husband and I
were two of 14 people who
traveled to Israel with the Jewish
National Fund. It was a super
trip which served as a trem-
endous education to most of us
who had never been there before.
Some of our highlights on the
trip were the visit to the Absorp-
tion Center at Ashod: There we
met a charming Israeli lady who
gave us the background and
meaning of an Absorption
Center. We then went to a class-
room at the center to personally
meet with the new immigrants
who were about to complete a
class session. We came into the
room just prior to the welcoming i
of the Sabbath, and there was a
festive feeling around us. We
were invited into the room to
personally chat with the recent
arrivals. I met and talked with a
young couple from Romania who
came to be part of the ever-
growing Israel.
Our JNF group was warmly
received as we interrupted their
regular class activity. There were
many people from all over the
world learning Hebrew and all
the vital things necessary to
become part of this very vital
society. Everyone was excited
about their new land and all were
full of enthusiasm. We soon
joined in song and dance.
Another special treat during
our two week visit was the visit
to Kibbutz. Beit Haemek.
The Israeli we met at Mitzpeh
Hua was to me the most out-
standing personality we met
during the entire trip. He repre
sents in every way the true
frontiersman and the most heroic
Israelite in every sense of the
word. The job he does and the life
style he has chosen for himself
and his family is epic in propor-
tion to the rest of the world.
Mitrpeh Hila is one of 18 new
mitzpin (outposts) on Israel's
northern borders where the land
has been redeemed by the JNF
for settlement by young Jewish
families.
Meeting Menachem
Perlmutter, Director of
Engineering for the Negev, was
another special highlight. He is a
man with a very special story to
tell and he was so full of facts and
information, it is difficult for me
to relate the new and fascinating
agriculture he shared with us 
mutations of plants and surface
irrigation. New kinds of fruit,
better tomatoes, and unbeliev-
able shelf-life for a new garlic
(and after all, what is food
without garlic). The land in the
Negev is being readied for agri-
cultural development by the
JNr.
If you've been there you can
understand my enthusiasm. If
you haven't been there yet, then
do hurry!"
