Jerusalem – A new bar has opened in the haredi Geula neighborhood of Jerusalem. .

The bar, called “Kretshme,” which means a public house in Yiddish, serves meat, the traditional cholent dish, beer, wine and other alcoholic beverages until midnight every night, according to Ynet News (http://bit.ly/1LzbXU4).
Yeshiva students and married couples are typically found in the new establishment.
During the day, the establishment is a bar that hosts events, like circumcision ceremonies, and at night, it becomes a kosher bar with Jewish music. The employees are dressed in traditional Jewish clothing with a kippah on their heads.
A resident of the neighborhood said the location of the bar, which is in an area where people are required to stay quiet during evening hours helps keep violent incidents at bay.
A Bar? It just sounds like a restaurant that serves some alcoholic beverages.
Intelligent people can discern the difference, apparently Mitch Stern is not such a person. And he relies on Ynet News? Really professional.
And the picture illustrating the article has nothing to with the story. Slightly misleading? Or very misleading?
Ah teller chulent mit kishke in ah bissel cole slaw in a geshmaake glaizel vaan !
M’ein olam habbah!
love it ! Hope they set up a branch son in Lakewood
Before the war, the kretshme was a worthy institution like the Shul, the inn, the baitz medrish. Many chasideshe myses come from the kretshme. I’m glad we are going back to the good old days. לחיים
the name of the bar should be `bar mitzvah`
I wonder if the puritz ever stops by, or else it’s not a real kretshme.
What’s next, a haredi movie theater?
So basically he is going in direct competition with E-van from the Kreitchme
anyone know the address so we yeshiva men can go there?
The term ” bar” brings the lowest connotations with it.
Bs’d. Does anyone remember Mendel’s Bar on Delancey on rt. side just before the bridge?
I think this is one of the best ideas to help yeshiva guys all over that area not drift over to Ben Yehuda and ‘Crack Square’, the genius of it is that at least some or many of the guys who go to this ‘Kretchma’ would go out to places that are truly in a bad environment for someone in ‘yeshiva’. Yes, this a bar not a resturaunt, to all those who have never been to a bar- there is always food available at a bar in addition to alcoholic beverages. That being said, my dear friend Lazer – may you have much hatzlacha and siata dishmaya!
“Hareidi Bar” is an oxymoron if I ever heard one!
OY GEVLAD’ Ah Bahl Shemsker Maseh;
I am so anxious to wait and hear about all the ‘open miracles’ that will happen, once all the haylige rebbes will start to visit this Kreytshmeh.
Just what we need for the coming of the Meshiyach.
Kreytshmey was not a bar it was a cheap hostel were wayfarers could stay overnight eat , sleep in a bed have a glasel bronfen. this is nonsense
I hope they remember to tip.
