I could be wrong but growing up in brooklyn and knowing many orthodoxed Jews. I think i am pretty close to the mark. If the 2nd Ave Deli is the one i am thinking of , I knew one of the owners who is now deceased. and he was not overly orthodoxed. But that is besides the point. See keeping Kosher and being orthodoxed are not the same. some Jews will keep Kosher but not overly lament adhering to the sabbath strictures. Kinda like being a good Catholic. ;-] you do all the catholic duties but you may not always go to sunday mass or you may choose not to follow lent "rules" Only if run by Gentiles.

I used to live near the 2nd Ave. Deli a Kosher restaurant. They were opened everyday except for Passover. They could be open if the changed all of their dishes. I think they were also closed Yom Kippur. A “Kosher” restaurant can be open even on the Sabbath. I used to live near the 2nd Ave. Deli a Kosher restaurant.

Tue, 01 May 2007 12:32:42 +0000 http://lizjohnson.lohudblogs.com/2007/04/30/kosher-crisis/#comment-6169 The issue will be the fact that it isnt economical for a kosher place to be in a mall. a mall is open 7 days a week. a kosher deli/restaurant cannot. Otherwise orthodoxed would not go. Friday sundown until sat sundown it will be closed. as a result the place would lose money. why? because they need to pay rent and more than a day closure would cost way too much. This is why it closed. you need to check the smaller strip malls. This is another reason why we should lose the smaller or neighborhood stores to these megaplexes.
