Kreplach
A Jewish mother was much distressed over the problem of her young son who was afraid to eat the popular dish known as kreplach. She took the boy to a psychiatrist for consultation. After hearing the case, the doctor said, "Now, Madam, this is very simple. Take the boy home, take him out into the kitchen, and show him how kreplach are made. This should probably eliminate the condition." Hopefully the mother followed his advice. On the kitchen table she put out a small square of dough beside which was a small mound of prepared chopped meat. "Now," she said, "there is nothing here you should mind." The lad beamed and nodded encouragingly. The mother then put the meat in the center of the dough and folded over one corner. The boy smiled and all seemed to be going well. She folded over the second corner and the third. The boy was nodding, and the experiment seemed to be progressing most favorably. Then she folded over the fourth and final corner; whereupon the boy groaned and muttered ........ "Oi, KREPLACH!" What the psychiatrist didn't know was to tell her to try one of our recipes for kreplach. They're guaranteed to not only remove all phobias, but to nurture a life long affection for the luscious dish as well! Kreplach I Bessie Ginsburg 1 cup flour 1 or 2 small eggs ½ t. salt Mix together.

Lavender Woman
Lavender Woman began as a recurring column in the feminist publication, The Feminist Voice, written by members of the Women's Caucus of Chicago Gay Alliance. By November 1971, Lavender Woman became an independent publication. The first issues began with only a few hundred copies, which eventually increased to a press run of 2,000 copies that consistently sold out. In the first issue of Lavender Woman, the founders expressed what they hoped the newspaper might contribute to the lesbian community in Chicago and beyond: "We, of the Lavender Woman, feel that this newspaper, written by and for Lesbians, is a powerful weapon against the society that tries, in vain, to keep us closeted and out of sight." They believed the newspaper would help to nurture the growth of the Lesbian community and increase its political consciousness, offering a space for lesbians to share their experiences, gifts, and knowledge with one another. Different women contributed to each issue, listing their names on the second page of each issue. This was an effort to include many different lesbian voices and lesbian works in the magazine. Lavender Woman referred to these submissions as "bits of themselves" affirming that the art, writing, photos, etc., being shared were personal to those who chose to share their experiences. Unlike some lesbian and feminist publications that operated out of universities and larger organizations, Lavender Woman never had an official office. Women met at each other’s apartments, where layout and paste-up happened on the living room floor, the kitchen table, or any available surface. Any lesbian who showed up to a meeting was welcome to participate as much or as little as she wished. In 1973, the Chicago Lesbian Liberation group split from Lavender Woman and began publishing its own newsletters, including two issues of The Original Lavender Woman in September and October 1974. This was one of the first significant divisions in the lesbian periodical publishing community.
