Israel Matzav: What is it with Jews and Chinese food?

What is it with Jews and Chinese food?

Once upon a time, I used to work in lower Manhattan and regularly order Chinese food from a place called Shmulka Bernstein's (also known as Bernstein's on Essex Street). And I always worked on Christmas (which as all Jews in New York know is the best day to get work done in the office while the kids are at school), and the Jewish secretaries used to compete to come in and work for me (and get paid triple time).

The image above is posted in that spirit.

Sigh.

And we miss you, too, Lou G. Siegel's. That was the last time I had lungen und miltz.

Double sigh.

I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.
