passover/kosher food

This week's Publix flyer for the Birmingham suburbs features kosher items for Passover; I'm not sure if the Seagrove/Watercolor location would have all of these items, but the larger Pirate's Cove and Grand Boulevard locations may have the same items.

(and the same ad had spiral hams and purple Easter cakes for the rest-of-us..)

If they don't have it, they'll probably bring it in if requested with enough lead time. Steve is GM.

we found some frozen kosher meat at the destin (paradise key) publix!
hurrah!

I think the flyer up here (B'ham) had some of their kosher premium meats, even a lamb shank if I recall, but there were some frozen items too. Glad you were able to find what you needed; enjoy your feast!

well, publix does carry lines of kosher meat, but as it was explained to me by the manager at the sandestin publix (very rudely and at the top of his lungs). he doesn't have a door for it! i asked around and found out that means he doesn't have shelf space for it. which i thought was a bizarre answer to a customer, to tell them that it wasn't a priority to service their needs or carry a product for a family that comes their regularly. but whatever, we're going to destin to get some frozen chicken. it's not exactly passover food, but you learn to make do!

funny, i just read an interview with robert & daryl davis - founders of seaside. and they were talking about why they left 10 years ago and moved to san francisco. it was because they're jewish and wanted their son to have a barmitzvah and felt it was an impossibility here.

i hope some things have changed in 10 years! i remember an emerald coast jewish community group from a couple years ago- we went to one of their events. but now they seem to be defunct. hm. one step forward, two steps back?

We recently attended a local batmitzvah and it was a wonderful event. It was possible because the young woman who the batmitzvah was for, had much of her Torah lessons over the internet with a rabbi in Dothan.

awesome! what congregation?

Check this out. There is a link to the NPR story I heard the other day, which I thought was very interesting. The Dothan Jewish community is actively recruiting more Jewish families.
