At Debbie’s Luncheonette on Troy Avenue in Brooklyn, in the 1960’s, there was pot roast on the menu and a young Jacob Roitman behind the counter, helping out whenever Debbie, his mom, needed an extra hand.

Fast Ends at 7:22pm

Tishrei 3rd is a fast day mourning the assassination of the Jewish royal Gedaliah ben Achikam, governor of the Land of Israel for a short period following the destruction of the First Temple. Gedaliah's killing spelled the end of the small remnant of a Jewish community that remained in the Holy Land after the destruction, which fled to Egypt. (According to many opinions, the assassination of Gedaliah actually occurred on Rosh Hashanah, but the commemoration of the event is postponed to the day after the festival).
