“Hundreds of countless numbers of New Yorkers hold kosher, and they are getting left powering in the most various metropolis in the world,” stated the letter, signed by the caucus’ chairman, Councilman Chaim Deutsch, and its 12 other members.

It took weeks, but kosher food is FINALLY available at ten Meal Hub locations across the city. Food accessibility is one of our most basic rights, and kosher-observant New Yorkers shouldn’t have been weeks behind the rest of the city.

More than 4.5 million foods have been served, which includes vegetarian and halal options for Muslims, amid the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
The meals provided by the city include breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Will we have to wait in the same line with goyim as well? Will the same PS locations be serving non kosher food as well? Does each individual child have to show up or can a parent bring the meals home for all of his children? What will be the average wait time on line?
Monsey?
What difference does it make? Bring your mask and keep distance. I’m sure they know what they’re doing
Wow in A city with so many yidden paying taxes it took so long.
I heard that in Baltimore they have been supplying bagged three meals to all frum children who want it distributed at a frum school parking lot.
No big political announcement, but it is probably the doing of council member Yitzy Schleifer.
Will this food go to the Mexican Tomche Shabos, ” Masbia “in Boro Park, only goyim in line there to get food always, not a yid in sight.
This is what you get when you elect liberal democRATs. Deep state.
