Woodbury, NY - A state court ruled that the Woodbury Jewish Center has the right to evict Morrell for not paying occupancy fees, WCBS 880′s Sophia Hall reported.
“He was charging customers millions for events, but since January 2010 had not paid his occupancy costs,” Woodbury Jewish Center attorney Scott Mollen told Hall. “This is money that this congregation needs to operate its religious schools, its social programs.”
Attorney Ron Rosenberg, who represents Morrell Caterers, said his client does not owe the center any money, adding that his client has a contract until 2029 and is not going anywhere.
Morrell Caterers is at the center of a dispute that rocked the Jewish community in February when Morrell general manager Tom Cataldo and chef Micheal Savitsky sued owner Scott Morrell. Rabbis from surrounding synagogues urged their congregations not to rush to judgment as news broke that Morrell was accused of violating Jewish kosher laws that govern the preparation of food, which Morrell denied ever happened.
Among the accusations was that employees prepared kosher and non-kosher foods in the same vicinity.

Woodbury Jewish Center is conservative-reform. So, naturally, the kashrus problem didn't bother them so much. But rent money is a serious issue.

IF THE ACCUSATIONS ARE CORRECT! All to many times have we jumped to conclusion only to be proven wrong. reminds me of the old 50 bill which got someone arrested for counterfeit, only to find and prove it genuine! was in the news recently.

The facts are still unknown and there is a strong possibility that the accusations are part of a revenge/shakedown for an outside business dispute. Do not rush to judge

Why are you so sanctimonious? Whatever happened to "Havei dan kol ben ha-adam l'kav zechut?
Always remember that the cure for Sinat Chinam is Ahavat Chinam !!!!!

True, but sinas chinam can sometimes provide an instantaneous yet short term feelings of pious self righteousness.

Daniel, this has nothing to do with being "sanctimonious." It is general knowledge that the conservative reform don't care about kashrus. You don't owe them to be dan l'chav zchus on this issue.

Reform doesn't care about kashrus, but Conservative does. It may not be as strict as Orthodox, but it does exist. Would I eat based on Conservative hashgacha? Probably not, but the bottom line is you should get your facts straight before making sanctimonious generalizations about fellow Jews.

Your so-called general knowledge that Comservative Rabbis don't care about kashrut is pure loshon horoh.

Why???
I don't see how painting everyone with a wide brush is productive. Even if you know everyone involved, there is still "the other side of the story." (read that excellent book). I don't see in Pirkei Avos where it says "havei dan kol ben h'adam l'kav zechus....except for............"
I wish you well.

Seeing everything in black and white is very comforting to some people who find nuanced understanding of the world around them frightening.
That's why children's stories usually have charachters that are pure good and innocence or pure evil (Wizard of Oz vs Wicked Witchs of the East and the West).

it is NOT general knowledge, it is your opinion, and your opinion is wrong.
