Kosher At NFC Championship

by Shaindle Fogelman - 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.

New $7 Million Chabad Center Opens in Flagstaff
Flagstaff, AZ - Dr. Merrill and Rhoda Abeshaus were among Northern Arizona’s pioneers of Jewish life back in the 1970s. When in 2006, they heard that Rabbi Dovie and Chaya Shapiro wanted to open Chabad of Flagstaff, they were skeptical. The Flagstaff Jewish community was too small, too uninvolved, they felt. But after taking into account the growing Jewish student enrollment at Northern Arizona University (NAU) and the city’s popularity among tourists, the Abeshauses changed their minds. They encouraged the Shapiros to come, and soon became their major supporters.

Gan Izzy in the City
It’s mid-summer and somewhere in a train car way below New York City a group of ninety kids are playing a lively, volley-ball like game involving red balloons they are trying to keep in the air. The train rounds a bend, the game is over and some kids start singing a camp song while others chat happily with their counselors and friends.

Historic Belarus Synagogue Restored To Jewish Hands
Two weeks ago, after years of unsuccessful recovery attempts that included a 1992 lengthy legal battle that failed, Chabad of Brest purchased the city’s second largest historic synagogue, the Hekdesh Shul. Built in 1886, the synagogue had been confiscated by the Nazis, together with the neighboring Jewish hospital, and housed wounded soldiers. When the Soviets reclaimed the city, it became a nightclub. It has since passed from hand to hand eventually being owned by a private individual and used as an office space. The iconic facade and inside architecture had been destroyed by the various occupiers but the original building remained.
