Emma: Mom, we have been walking all day!
Mom: Emma, not really all day, but you are right, my feet are hurting.
Emma: We went to that museum, the Empire State building, and even to the Statue of Liberty!
Eli: Mom, can we find a kosher restaurant?
Mom: I'm sure we can. We are in New York City!
Abba: I looked up a few when were back in Jerusalem, ah, here is my list. I printed it!
Mom: Which restaurant is nearest?
Abba: Here's one, oh, it is open on Saturdays, we shouldn't go there, I doubt it is Kosher!
Eli: Yeah, in Jerusalem a restaurant that is open on Shabbat wouldn't get a Kosher certificate, even if they used only Kosher foods! It's the principle of being Kosher!
Emma: What about that delicatessen over there? It looks good!
Eli: Oh, is there a Hecher in the window?
Emma: Eli, come with me and we'll go check.
Mom: If we can't find a kosher restaurant, we can go to a supermarket and buy fruits and vegetables and I will cook us a nice vegetarian dinner at the bed and breakfast apartment.
Abba: But I wanted to take everyone out for a nice meal. Here Emma comes now!
Emma: I looked and went inside, and they said that they are Kosher style, They don't have the certificated yet, they applied and it will take time until they get it.
Eli: So we need to keep looking.
Mom: Look! The Best Falafel in New York City! And it's Kosher! https://moshesfalafel.net/
Emma: That is just like the falafel that we can get in Jerusalem!
Abba: I was hoping for something a bit more fancy, but the price is right. Let's go there!
Mom: Your treat Abba! Come on, let's go eat felafel!
