Anybody know if Lancaster Kosher is open this week?
They are not answering phones
They should be open for lunch and dinner, but not rest of day.

Interesting, I asked last week and that is what they told me. I guess they changed their minds.

Lots of people have told me the same like you, but this is what they responded.
I guess if someone has an update/clarification  they should post here.

Is there any late Mariv in the area or any hotels tonight ? Like 10ish?

On the Degel Website it has the latest Mariv these days at 50 min after שקיעה which is about 8:20.

Any help is appreciated!
