(Comment from Jim Ross: “There has been a few minor changes……We are going with ‘Cleveland Kosher’ instead of star K, we decided not to serve wraps at this time (maybe later – menu still being tweaked), and the grand opening had to be moved back, we hope to open by Memorial day. ‘Stay tuned’. Look soon for a new website from us devoted to informing the community about what is going on with this exciting new project, including ways to receive feedback from you.)

A kosher business will move into the former Chocolate Emporium space at the Cedar Green Plaza in University Heights.

Marching into Darkness: The Wehrmacht and the Holocaust in Belarus by Waitman Wade Beorn copyright 2014.

“On October 10, 1941, the entire Jewish population of the Belarusian village of Krucha was rounded up and shot. While Nazi death squads routinely carried out mass executions

on the Eastern Front, this particular atrocity was not the work of the SS but was committed by a regular German army unit acting on its own initiative. Marching into Darkness is a bone-chilling expose of the ordinary foot soldiers who participated in the Final Solution on a daily basis.” (Publisher’s Description)
