Chabad-Lubavitch Rabbi Mendel Zarchi helps a Jewish visitor make a blessing on the Four Species inside his sukkah in Puerto Rico.

With each passing day before Sukkot Jews the world over turn their faces toward the heavens, collectively wondering if the weather will hold for the seven-day festival. The holiday is a time for family, food and stargazing, but for many, it’s also a time for parkas, rain jackets, bee traps and outdoor air conditioners.

Rabbi Yosef Wolvovsky, executive director, Chabad Jewish Center, Glastonbury, said that Waldbaums is more than just a grocery store, its a community institution. He said that he assumes that Big Y would consider that some kind of Kosher department would not only be good for the community but also valuable as a business venture.

For years, the Waldbaum's supermarket in West Hartford has supplied the Jewish community with fresh kosher meats, deli products and baked goods.
