Greece’s Sole Kosher Restaurant Opens Doors

by Meredith Levick – Chabad.org

Patrons of Gostijo, Athens’ only kosher restaurant, enjoy traditional Sephardic Jewish cuisine.

As Chabad-Lubavitch emissaries in Athens for the past 10 years, Rabbi Mendel and Nechama Hendel have seen it all in their service of the local Jewish community and the many tourists who annually visit the Greek capital. But the couple got a new experience this past August when they became restaurateurs, opening up Gostijo, Greece’s only kosher restaurant.

Blog: What the Bochur’s Reference Isn’t Telling You

by T. Cohen

Every parent only wants the best for their child, and every (good) Shadchan only wants the best for their client. But when you guys call me and ask these strange questions about my friend – who put my name on his reference list even though I hardly know him (and perhaps for that reason) – please keep in mind that what I’m saying and what I am thinking might not be on the same page.

A President Doesn’t Have to Be Perfect, Just Effective

by Shmuley Boteach – Algemeiner

Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain

Readers of this column will know that last week my wife and I, thank God, married off our eldest child. What they will not know are the conditions we endured for the days prior to the wedding when a freak snow storm caused a power outage in our home town of Englewood, New Jersey, and much of the Northeast. We were preparing for a wedding with a house filled with relatives from around the world who, freezing with no heat, light, or phones, thought America was a third world country.

Op-Ed: Love Your Jewish Sister, Dress Modestly!

by Malka Leah Pearl

My best friend Shevi called me the other day, distressed over the shul her husband started attending. “Malka, you can’t imagine what the women are wearing there,” she said. “Yes I can,” I sadly replied. “He loves the davening, but I feel nervous with him going there,” she continued. “I tried to discuss it with him, but he likes the shul and doesn’t want to stop going. I totally understand, but why should he have to see women dressed that way?”
