Pork with ‘Shechitas Bais Yosef’ Sold in NYC Store

by Philip Gourevitch – New Yorker

If you want Kosher pork—pork spare ribs, pork cutlets, center-cut pork chops, all labeled in Hebrew “Sh’Chita Beit Yosef” (i.e., kosher slaughtered)—you get that only in New York, only at the Associated Supermarket at 4407 Greenpoint Avenue, in Sunnyside, Queens, and only for a few hours today, between the time the Israeli artist Oded Hirsch snapped the above photo on his cell phone and it got forwarded to me, and the time I phoned Aris Duran, the supermarket manager, for an explanation.

Israelis march in the center of Tel Aviv to protest rising housing prices.

Tel Hai College student union organizer Aviad Rosenfeld pitched his tent alongside dozens of others in this Kiryat Shmona protest against soaring housing prices. Slogans plastered on placards around him decried the rising rent and the injustice of failing to provide citizens who put their lives on the line in the army with the means to obtain a mortgage. On average housing prices throughout Israel have risen 60% since 2007.

Jewish Children Enjoy Gan Israel Camp in Perm, Russia

FJC

Throughout most of the month of June, the Ohr Avner Chabad Day School and Kindergarten hosted the Gan Israel Chabad day camp, attended by 30 children. The campers enjoyed a variety of activities including sports, arts and crafts, and exercising. They were served breakfast, lunch and snacks each day, as well.

The weather in Seattle was reminiscent of Manchester. Summer seemed to have been too busy with the east coast to get around to those north-west coast folks. The weather had no effect on the city spirit however. We visited the oldest “farmers only” market in america which opened August 17, 1907, and the people there were in full summer swing. We stayed again by the Morozov household (if you may recall they were the same ones who left their doors open for us after the tire blowout episode on our way to Vancouver). We met some bochurim from Morristown running the local Gan Yisroel.
