...When two Detroit women died from food poisoning after eating a bad can of A. & P. tuna packed by Washington, health authorities across the U.S. began searching out other cans of Washington tuna marketed under various brand names. New York officials discovered bad tuna sold under a Dagim Tahorim kosher label, sent inspectors to hundreds of groceries to search for the suspect cans. WY2 and WY3 cans also turned up in Cleveland, and inspectors searched out Washington Packing shipments to stores in Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago and Augusta...
...quarrels with all forms of life: pigeons, cats, dogs, landlord, goyim. He hates them all because they still have their life, while he is soon to die. He treats no one worse than his son Carl, who fled to the suburbs and keeps a house that is not strictly kosher. The old man knows how to make him feel guilty. "You think I keep a diary of all my aches and pains, so I can tell you about them every two months?" he grumbles when Carl asks about his health. "I'd need a whole Torah to write them...
Think of the uneasiness of Jewish laymen, who, alas, find themselves confronted by a whole horde of "reverends" who have assumed that title for themselves, regardless of its doubtful grammar.

Nearby resort hotels, threatened with the withdrawal of their vital Kosher certificates by Orthodox rabbis, also turned him down. The congregation was relegated to a tabernacle in an empty lot, and held services by the light of the worshipers' automobiles. It took an Israeli Supreme Court ruling last week to assure Unger the use of the town hall for Simchat...
...mostly Hungarian or Rumanian by birth; the congregation gets its name from the Rumanian village of Satmar, where Rabbi Teitelbaum, a descendant of a long line of Hasidic teachers, taught until World War II. The Satmar Jews are probably the strictest group in Orthodox Judaism. They will eat only kosher food that comes from their own stores. They refuse to watch television, will not ride in cars or use any mechanical device on the Sabbath, wear clothes that conform strictly to the rules of modesty laid down in the Old Testament. Williamsburg has other devout Jews, but the Satmar congregation...
