Kosher in Greece |
 |
|
Greece opened its first kosher restaurant since World War II. Rabbi Mendel Hendel decided to open the Kol Tuv restaurant, located in downtown Athens and online at www.kosherathens.com, to help Jewish athletes coming to Greece for the summer Olympics keep kosher. The restaurant serves typical Greek dishes, such as moussaka, and traditional Greek Jewish foods, such as an egg baked in an oven, called haminados. During the Olympics, Kol Tuv, which also prepares box lunches and Shabbat specials, will double as a tourist information center for visiting Jews. Hendel said he was not sure if the restaurant would remain open after the Olympics. http://www.jta.org/ (July 15th)
