EDGWARE, UK — Bloom's famous kosher eatery is to London’s Jews what the 2nd Avenue Deli was to New York Jews. At its different locations, the popular eatery served up some of its favorites like “plump, firm, matzo balls” and salt beef to famous diners, including Charlie Chaplin (a close friend of the owner) and Frank Sinatra (who reportedly ordered takeout to his suite at the Savoy, and never returned the silver dishes).
Bloom’s Kosher Deli: Open On Shabbos . . . With Chabad
EDGWARE, UK — Bloom’s famous kosher eatery is to London’s Jews what the 2nd Avenue Deli was to New York Jews. At its different locations, the popular eatery served up some of its favorites like “plump, firm, matzo balls” and salt beef to famous diners, including Charlie Chaplin (a close friend of the owner) and Frank Sinatra (who reportedly ordered takeout to his suite at the Savoy, and never returned the silver dishes).
Beginning this Friday night, the landmark restaurant’s Edgware location will open for Shabbos dinner with Chabad’s Rabbi Leivi and Feigi Sudak hosting.
Dinner will begin with Kiddush and Challah, and will include the full menu of a respectable Shabbos table, in a warm and spirited ambience.
The idea, says Rabbi Sudak, Chabad’s representative to Edgware since 1986, came in answer to a conundrum: while guests loved visiting the Sudaks home, they were uncomfortable coming regularly, as they could not reciprocate the invitation.
Bad Title
It’s a nice article, but the title “Open on Shabbis with Chabad” looks bad as, obviously, stores should not me open on Shabbis, especially with Chabad. Maybe it could be worded a bit differently.
