Huge Brand Spanking New Supermarket Opening on Coney Island Avenue

Now, this isn't going to get the same quantity of blog press as Whole Foods or Ikea - if it gets any coverage at all other than this entry...But this baby's a doozer!

I have no idea when it's opening but my guess is that it will cater to the local Kosher community. It is located is at 1507 Coney Island Avenue (near Avenue L).

Celebration for donated Torah to Ocean Parkway Synagogue

This is just another one of events that occurs in Brooklyn that is a huge deal to a particular community but the rest of us spectators stand by and wonder "Who knew?" I just happened upon it.



Apparently a hand transcribed Torah which took close to a decade to create was donated to a local synagogue.



It was paraded through the streets of Midwood on Sunday to the tune of "Hava Nagila" along with a significant line of followers.
