First off, I'm culturally Jewish, raised very strictly and non practicing now. My nieces wanted to light Hannukah candles with me on Zoom, and I couldn't find candles close to me, so I went to Riverdale knowing it's a Jewish enclave. The store is run by Hasidim, and obviously has regulars, as evidenced by the yenta who would Not Stop Gossiping with the man at the counter to let me ask one question about merchandise. Positives: the store is well stocked with all sorts of lovely items for a Jewish home, including a wide array of mezuzot, Hannukah toys, kids books, and a Havdalah set that took me back to the one my mom had in the 70's. It's a bit crowded and chaotically organized, but that's because there's a lot there. The thing I really disliked was the guy behind the counter, when I asked where the mezuzot were, said "They are made in Israel, not China. Why should we support them when we can support our own." He didn't know me, nor my politics. But he assumed a casual racism and identity xenophilia I've pushed back against with older relatives my whole life, and I'm not okay with that. Anyway, got some nice, cheap Hannukah candles and a kugel next door. read more
