On a ship as tight as ours, that sum is not to be scoffed at. There was a time and place when seating in shul on the Yamim Noraim (Days of Awe) was scarce and actually needed to be rationed in some way. Today, although we do sell some tickets, our real problem…
…ns: To buy? Or not to buy? Jews face having to find Passover foods without Stop & Shop, www.newhavenindependent.org, April 12, 2019 The Stop & Shop at 112 Amity Road, which was open Friday but picketed by striking workers, offers a large selection of foods that are kosher for Passover because of the Jewish population in and near the Westville section, which isn’t as large as it once was but still is sizable. “I’m lucky in that I happen to have don…
