Kosher At NFC Championship

by Staff Writer - Philadelphia

January 22, 2018

Last night’s NFC Championship in Philadelphia gave Kosher football fans something to chew on. As the Philadelphia Eagles headed off against the Minnesota Vikings in a last game before the Super Bowl, Rabbi Yudy Shemtov was supervising a kosher grill at Lincoln Financial Field.

Rabbi Shemtov, 51, has been doing this at “Linc” for the past three years, a mission to raise kosher awareness. Shemtov’s public facebook page encouraged fans to “stop by at Section 117 and make a blessing and bring some extra blessing to the Linc! And yourself!”

For the Philadelphia-based rabbi and Eagles’ fan, the blessings did their job. The Eagles won against the Vikings in a 38 to 7 game and will be facing the New England Patriots on February 4 in Minneapolis. The next step is getting kosher into the Super Bowl.

It's Not All Greek Over Here
Run by Chabad’s representatives to Athens, Rabbi Mendel and Nechama Hendel, Gostijo prepares traditional Sephardic and Greek foods that are popular with natives and tourists, Jewish and not. The restaurant, in the city’s hip center, boasts a talented chef and a trendy menu. Many of Gostijo’s reviews highlight the surprise diners feel upon receiving such a warm welcome. For Hendel, the restaurant is more than the antidote to a kosher tourist’s suitcase of matzah and tuna. “It’s not only a place to eat. It’s a warm place for people to get together, it’s a home away from home.”
