Dunno what they were thinking with a belly dancer, but is it really necessary to name the owners of each place?

Arguably yes if you're trying to prevent it from happening again.

I guess it could be like the oscars where everybody is protesting/condemning but nobody will actually say who exactly they are condemning...

I'm surprised that col --which always seemed to be the promoter/defender of the chabad lite-- publicized it. I guess in this business it's clicks above all...


ETA: I'm not saying I necessarily agree with putting up all the names, but I do see an argument for it.

I haven't seen any pics. How do you all know there was a belly dancer? Maybe it was a guy in costume?

Apparently people who have parties with mixed belly dancing...
Cant blame the proprietors of the location for that. They only provided tbe event space.

Ive heard things about some of the named people in the past and it seems that they were named now because some people have had enough of the shenanigans of the Park Slope "Chabad lite" crowd.
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

"Hello Rabbonim of the OK Kosher..." and it goes downhill from there.

Humility?

Who advised these people? Who writes like this and lets a letter like this go public?
That was painful to read.

That's $2.25/month. That's less than one NYC subway ride. Is it really worth the hassle?

Probably not worth it for any Medicaid recipient with even half a brain. Sharing a full-priced prime membership is cheaper.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Kosher sushi is largely the same as regular sushi, except it frequently appears in restaurants that have no business selling it—like delis and pizza shops—thus outing them as Jewish.

Special for @CS1 is this one
https://100jewishfoods.tabletmag.com/pareve-chocolate/

Thank you,  @aygart for the special mention. 
Chocolate is both universal, and also very Passover/Jewish at the same time. Out of the 18 Bon Appetit's Passover recipes, 4 of them are chocolate recipes!
Excellent proportion to "real life". And to note, our chocolate's Kosher for Passover manufacturing source is always Pareve year-round, so no dairy or nuts cross-contamination.
