Note To Advertisers: As long as Mrs. Tannenbaum and her friends feel as they do about Kashruth, it is good business to stress your kosher products in the Bulletin.
Morris Tannenbaum took a great deal of delight in annoying his wife Rachel because she insisted on having everything kosher about the house. If she had a choice between a product marked kosher and one unmarked, she invariably chose the former. “Outside your home you do not care where or what you eat, but at home you become kosher,” Morris would start. But this time Rachel did not permit him to continue further.
“L was brought up to believe that kosher meant fresh and clean. To me it has always meant that and I shall continue to buy kosher products when I get them. It seems to me there are many kosher products you personally prefer.
“And if you think I’m old fashioned you should see the homes of your friends. Far more are kosher than you suspect. Some of them keep a kosher home for the same reason as I do, some are really orthodox, others keep a kosher home to please their parents. So, you need not rib me about being a rebbitzen.”
