ARNOLD ORLOFF’S MEAT CO. My first real job

I was a meat packer, at the meat co.The meat company catered to high-priced restaurants, dinner houses.We dealt with 16 oz. Steaks,such as:T-bone steaks,porter houses,New york steaks,Prime Rib,Pork chops,New Zealand lamb chops,Top Sirloin steaks,5oz,4oz,3oz hamburgers.The best kind of meat is center cut, nearest the bone. a little bit of fat for cooking.for flavoring the meat. I learned how hamburgers and hot dogs were made. They are made from waste from fats and what  meat cutters cut from other meats.They are put into grinder.Here are some photos of the meat I have been talking about:

filet mignon 

Pork chops

Hamburgers

Beef stew

Top sirloin steaks

New York steak

I got this job through my dad.After working for my dad as a bookkeeper and secretary,it was time to branch out get a real job. Arnold Orloff was my dad’s client.My dad would say,it’s not what you know,it’s who you know,in this case it’s true.

BBYO: About AZA and BBG

/The Jewish youth groups: one for boys AZA the other is girls group,BBG

“It is the mission of AZA and BBG to create a United Jewish community that grows because they celebrate Judaism’s differences.The brotherhood and sisterhood provide a place for teens to build a movement capable of creating change surrounding today’s critical issues all while learning important skills such as public speaking,event planning,and project management.Chapters in a larger area are grouped into regions.Regions serve to bring chapters together so that they can exchange ideas,socialize,Enjoy social, athletic,community service and Judaic programming.”Back in my day, our chapter President would go to these convention and promote our local chapter, in order to get to go,to more  socials, to meet girls, he would promise to get at least  20 guys to show up.We went to places,Westchester, Brentwood, Beverly Hills to socialize with girls.At these socials we would ask these girls for their phone numbers. We would have these socials Friday and Saturday nights.After awhile we have a lot of phone numbers of the girls ,but would not have any days to ask them out. So the President would open up night without no socials.Friday night would be free night or could be a Saturday night.We all learned about dating girls and how to treat a girl.The Rabbi (teacher)who would get mad at our chapter for having more social activities then anything else. We would not have any cultural activities, religious activities. We were the most popular boys group in Southern California. We were from Torrance.
