Page 32 THE JEWISH GEORGIAN September-October 2007 JF&CS News DENTAL CARE FOR THE WORKING POOR. Jewish Family & Career Services (JF&CS), one of Atlanta’s leading human services agencies, has earned the O’Connell Community Impact Award for expanding dental care to the working poor. The award, presented by the United Way Tocqueville Society, recognizes the role of JF&CS, as parent organization of the Ben Massell Dental Clinic, in raising more than $3.86 million to relocate the clinic to larger quarters, thereby doubling its capacity to serve indigent clients. It also lauds JF&CS for a strategic alliance with the Dental Technology Center at Georgia Tech A NEW CLINIC FOR A NEW ERA. JF&CS recently received the O’Connell Community Impact Award for the Ben Massell Dental Clinic.

Massell Dental Clinic has a 96-year history of providing a full range of dental services to Atlanta’s most needy. The clinic is staffed by more than 92 volunteer dentists, who have worked in a woefully inadequate, 2,000-square-foot building in Midtown Atlanta. The new Ben Massell Dental Clinic on 14th Street will have 7,900 square feet, 15 operatories, enlarged laboratories and sterilization areas, and extensive client support services. The clinic will be Atlanta’s first silver-level LEED-certified health facility. LEED, which stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is a national standard for high-performance, environmentally sustainable buildings. “As the only all-volunteer dental clinic in the United States, Ben Massell is in the business of restoring smiles and is an opportunity for a population whose oral health has been severely neglected,” said Gary Miller, CEO of Jewish Family & Career Services, on accepting the O’Connell award. “The clinic provides clients with more than just fillings and extractions—it offers hope, the possibility of employment, and the confidence to succeed.” The grand opening for the new clinic is anticipated in early 2008. For more information, or to become a clinic volunteer, contact Deborah Fluker or Barbara Jones at 404-881-1858. TEEN LEADERS. JF&CS and Congregation Etz Chaim will sponsor “Tools for Teens: Lead On!,” an interactive leadership workshop, October 14, 1:00- 4:30 p.m., at Congregation Etz Chaim, 1190 Indian Hills Parkway, in Marietta. The 2nd annual teen workshop will focus on skillbuilding and will impart skills to help teens lead their youth groups. Jewish teens in 10th-12th grade are invited to participate in this special workshop, which will include a self-assessment test to determine leadership styles, roleplays, and group discussion facilitated by JF&CS professionals. Synagogue and agency staff will discuss volunteerism and performing good deeds, and teens will complete a service project for the Ben Massell Dental Clinic, for which they will receive a certificate for 3.5 hours of community service. The program is $18 per person, which includes snacks and take-home materials. Pre-registration and payment is required by October 7.

September-October 2007 THE JEWISH GEORGIAN Page 33 Kosher From page 25 cake yeast will rise approximately six cups of flour. • Active dry yeast is processed one step further than cake yeast. Three 1/4–ounce packets of active dry yeast equals the activity of 2 ounces of cake yeast. • Quick-rise/bread machine yeast is highly active yeast that will shorten the rising time as much as 50%. For everything you “knead” to know about yeast, visit redstaryeast.com. King Arthur Flour and Red Star products are locally available at most supermarkets including Wal-Mart, Kroger, and Publix. On a personal note: My mother, Rose Schoen Snyder, always made her delicious challah with Red Star Yeast. She was a great fan of Red Star and believed that the quality of this company’s product gave her challahs that extra “rise.” That may be true, but I, of course, believed that it was her special touch! SPEAKING OF CHALLAH. “And there was a continual blessing in her dough,” writes Tamar Ansh in A Taste of Challah. This new book, from Feldheim Publishers, is a comprehensive guide to challah baking. Ansh, an experienced recipe developer and food columnist, shares her advice, tips, and recipes for challah baking. She writes, “There is something mystical and unique about challah. The skill of baking and braiding challah has been passed down by generations, surviving upheaval, migration, and exile.” Clear, easy-to-follow instructions, along with 350 photographs, make bread-baking seem accessible to the home baker. Ansh offers complete directions on how to make unique challah creations, including pull–aparts, twists, simcha braids, cloverleaf challah rolls, and yom tov shapes. The book offers tips on several other tempting breads and baked desserts, including traditional babka and mouthwatering cinnamon buns. To preview the book and view some sample recipes, visit tasteofchallah.com. This “tasteful” gift is available locally at Judaica Corner and Chosen Treasures and online at Amazon.com. YUMM! FINALLY! Jelly Belly is becoming OU kosher certified. Look for the OU mark on all 50 official flavors of packaged Jelly Belly beans.

Trudy’s Bakery is located in Toco Hill Shopping Center, next to Kroger. It’s been quite a few years since Atlanta has had an all-parve kosher bakery. We can hardly wait! ATLANTA, START YOUR OVENS.

This column is meant to provide the reader with current trends and developments in the kosher marketplace and lifestyle. Since standards of kashruth certification vary, check with the AKC or your local kashruth authority to confirm reliability. See RECIPES, page 39 Have a vintage New Year Here are some great ways to toast the New Year. From the Recanati Winery, an artisan winery based in Israel’s northern Galilee, Palm Bay Imports offers some quality selections. Vineyard founder L. Recanati’s strong bond with the land of Israel, coupled with his deep passion for fine wine and his Italian heritage, inspired him to pursue his dream of a state-of-the-art winemaking facility. Royal Wine, America’s largest kosher wine importer, is introducing some exciting new labels at varied prices. It is primarily due to the foresight and vision of the Royal Wine Corporation that America’s kosher wine drinkers have been given the opportunity to enjoy fine wines from vineyards around the world. Some excellent selections from Rothschild (France), Herzog (California), and Recanati (Israel) I recently had the opportunity to taste several of the newest selections See VINTAGE, page 40
