Lovely Service. In Cleveland, the sect owns a string of stores with interesting names, among them "The Shabazz Kosher Market," "The Kaaba Haberdashery" and "Omar's Ice Cream Parlor." In Washington, D.C., where the movement has been active for 30 years, the Muslims own a bakery, a barber shop, a restaurant, a cleaning establishment and a printing office...
...lord of this glass-and-concrete palace is a Jewish real estate mogul named Arthur Goldman (Pleasence). Goldman has a jigsaw-puzzle personality. He wants only a "kosher" staff around him, yet he indulges in acridly anti-Semitic remarks. With bewildering rapidity, his accented spray of words veers from the clever to the vulgar to the mad. In a sense, Goldman is the kind of Angst-ridden creature a very bright student might have constructed after making a close study of how Harold Pinter fashions his characters. Since Shaw acted the mentally disturbed older brother in Pinter...
...Keeping kosher can be a real test of a housewife's menu-planning. Certain foods, such as pork and shellfish, are absolutely prohibited. Kosher meat, which must be slaughtered under rabbinical supervision, has to be drained of all blood before being eaten-which means soaking it in cold water for half an hour and then salting it.

Domestic Trauma. For women who have been raised in an Orthodox family, setting up a kosher household is no great problem. But Mrs. Frances Alpert of Highland Park, Ill., whose parents were nonobservant, found it created a domestic trauma. "At first it was a mess," she says. "We had to buy new pots and pans, new baking utensils, a second glass for the Osterizer, a second set of parts for the Mixmaster." Fortunately, her husband is in the housewares business. Even luckier was Mrs. Sharon Baris, a Radcliffe graduate married to a Harvard-educated corporate lawyer. When...
Precious Jewel. The Sabbath, on which manual labor is forbidden, presents another challenge for the kosher housewife. Friday is usually a day of frenzied activity-cleaning, shopping, preparing meals in advance for the tranquility and family intimacy of Saturday. There are some personal satisfactions. At sundown, after the wife lights the candles preceding the traditional Sabbath-eve dinner (typical menu: gefilte fish, matzoh-ball soup, chicken or beef, potato kugel), the husband often chants an ancient song of praise for his wife. Drawn from Proverbs 31, it begins: "A good wife who can find? She is far more precious than...
