The ham sandwich might have been a clue. So might the shrimp salad. But New Jersey wants the Kibitz Room to spell it out: This Jewish deli isn’t kosher. A state investigator visited the restaurant this month over its menu, which includes a “Jewish cheesesteak.” Now the deli faces a proposed $1,000 penalty and a demand for a disclaimer. Neil Parish, who runs it with his son, Brandon, says he’s willing to fight all the way to the Supreme Court. In reporting this article, I discovered that the backstory and fallout involve a brisket-boosting talk radio host, a rock-and-roll dive bar in Los Angeles, a historian known as Dr. Pastrami, a famous rye bread ad and a question Jewish diners have been fighting over for the better part of a century: Can a deli be Jewish if it isn’t kosher? forward.com/news/857222/jewi…

נפטר בוריס קוצ’ובייבסקי ז״ל. רוב הישראלים לא מכירים את השם הזה. כולנו חייבים לו. אביו של בוריס נרצח בבאבי יאר, ערב יום כיפורים 1941. יחד עם עוד 33,771 יהודי קייב. ב-1968, בטקס זיכרון רשמי באתר הטבח בברית המועצות, אף אחד לא אמר את המילה ״יהודים״. בוריס, מהנדס רדיו בן שלושים, עלה לבמה בלי שהזמינו אותו. הוא אמר: הקורבנות היו יהודים. אי אפשר למחוק להם את הזהות. אחר כך כתב מכתב גלוי לברז’נייב. ״אני יהודי. אני רוצה לחיות בישראל״. ככה, בפשטות. בברית המועצות. פחות משבוע אחרי זה, הק.ג.ב. לקח אותו לבית חולים לחולי נפש. אחר כך משפט, ושלוש שנים במחנה עבודה. הפנים שלו הופיעו על כרזות וסיכות בארצות הברית. הוא היה הפנים הראשונות של המאבק לשחרור יהודי ברית המועצות. בזכותו ובזכות אחרים כמוהו, הדלת נפתחה. עשרים שנה אחרי, עברנו בה מיליון איש. גם אני. ב-1972 הוא עלה לישראל. עבד בתדיראן, גידל שלושה ילדים, חי בירושלים. בשקט. בלי להתהדר. תודה, בוריס. על האומץ. על הדלת. הלוויה תתקיים היום (שני) בשעה 14:00 בבית העלמין ירקון. המשפחה מבקשת שתבואו ללוות אותו בדרכו האחרונה. הוא ראוי לזה. יהי זכרו ברוך.
