[stylist] a poem

[Judith Bron]

When it comes to eating and drinking Jewish life has been adapted to 
accomodate the Kosher laws or the laws concerning eating and drinking.  We 
drink wine on the Sabbath or Shabbos.  People who don't want to drink wine 
drink grape juice.  When it comes to what beverages we do and don't drink, 
everything has to comply with Kosher laws.  We have access to just as many 
beverages as the rest of the world.
