Kosher consideration
It is exciting that the Pittsburgh community is getting more kosher choices, and wonderful for the Jewish Chronicle to get the word out (“New kosher restaurant opens,” June 21). I would like to provide some feedback to the article. While it is true that there is currently no Israeli-style locations with a schwarma spit, to state that there is not “anyplace to go” with the family, as the restaurant’s owner said, does a disservice to the other kosher establishments that are in the area.
The article missed a great opportunity to remind the community of all the kosher options, while allowing what the new restaurant, Hamsah, brings. Cafe Eighteen is Vaad-certified, and we have a variety of delicious, fresh foods, including salads and dips (with our own hummus, tahini and eggplant) as well as soup, chicken and vegetable choices, as well as a full sushi menu.
Showcasing growth in kosher resources benefits the whole community.
