A Message from the Vaad

February 7, 2024 כ"ח שבט תשפ"ד

We would like to inform you that at around 11:00 p.m. last night, a fire broke out in the building which houses Jerusalem Pizza. The fire caused significant damage to Jerusalem Pizza and - to a lesser extent - China Lee. The cause of the fire is unknown and the police are investigating. Thankfully, the owner Shalom Cohen was not present at the time and no one was injured. However, both Jerusalem Pizza and China Lee will be closed for the time being. We are grateful to Shalom for the service he has provided to our community for many years, and we hope he will recover from this and come back stronger.

Many have responded with concern and asked what they could do for them at this time. When we posed this question to Yardena, she replied, "I just ask that people say a Perek of Tehillim for the Chayalim." We are humbled to be part of a community with such outstanding people, and we will update you accordingly with specific assistance that can be provided for the Cohens and their workers.

Hoping for Besuros Tovos,

Vaad Harabonim of Raritan Valley
