Vegan Continued from Page 9
during Chanukah at V Marks
the Shop, a vegan grocery
store in South Philadelphia.

Since then, the pop-ups
have made several appear-
ances throughout the city for
occasions like Purim and Rosh
Hashanah, and they also off er
delivery. Th ey are preparing for
another Chanukah pop-up at
V Marks the Shop on Dec. 13.

Th eir next goal is to relocate
from their workspace in
Bridesburg Commissary and
fi nd their own professional
kitchen. Part of it has to do with
kosher certifi cation. Although
all of Resnick’s products
are technically kosher, her
food cannot be certified
kosher as long as she uses a
shared kitchen. She also said
she received anti-Semitic
comments from another cook
at the workplace, and wants to
move sooner rather than later.

She feels like Lil’ Yenta’s is
the most important thing she’s
ever done.

“Th e world is really crazy
right now, and anti-Semitism
is up, and I just want to bring
the beauty of Jewish culture
to more people who might not
even know about it,” she said. ●

ISRAELBRIEFS Israeli Gymnast Wins Gold at European Championships
ISRAELI GYMNAST LINOY ASHRAM won a gold medal in
the individual rhythmic category at the European Championships
on Nov. 29, JTA reported.

She became the first athlete in decades not from a former
Soviet country or Bulgaria to win the medal.

Ashram edged out Alina Harnasko of Bulgaria in a tiebreaker.

Ashram, 21, is an Israeli Defense Forces veteran born to
Mizrahi and Sephardic parents. She will represent Israel at the
Tokyo Olympics next summer.

Israel also won the group rhythmic gymnastics gold at the
competition in Kyiv, Ukraine — although several top teams from
Russia, Bulgaria and Italy didn’t participate because of pandem-
ic-related logistical complications.

ISRAELIS DEPEND ON?
THEY DEPEND ON YOU.

Israel, New Zealand Compete in Virtual Chess
As part of a Chess4Solidarity event, Israel and New Zealand
played online chess matches, The Jerusalem Post reported.

The event was part of a Chess4All initiative. It was supported by
the Israeli Embassy in New Zealand and the Savyon Municipality.

Chess4All was founded 20 years ago by Lior Aizenberg to bring
people together across various divides via chess.

After Israel normalized ties with Sudan in October, hundreds
of Israel players completed against players from that country.

Aizenberg also has held events with Syria, Morocco, Algeria
and the Palestinian Authority. Games are hosted on Zoom, with
commentary through Twitch.

Other upcoming events include contests with players in Chile
and Spain.

The Economist: Tel Aviv Fifth Most Expensive City
Tel Aviv ranked as the fifth most expensive city in The Economist’s
annual ranking of the world’s priciest cities, up two spots from a
year ago, Globes reported.

Zurich, Paris and Hong Kong ranked as the three most expensive
cities, followed by Singapore, Tel Aviv and Osaka, Japan. Geneva,
New York, Copenhagen, Denmark and Los Angeles round out the
top 10. Singapore and Osaka shared the top spot a year ago.

The Economist said the pandemic impacted the rankings,
which are based on the cost of a basket of 138 basic products, by
weakening the U.S. dollar and strengthening Western European
and North Asia currencies.

7-Eleven Likely Headed to Israel
Two Israeli companies are working together to open about 250
branches of 7-Eleven convenience stores in Israel, The Jerusalem
Post reported.

Electra is working on a nonbinding memorandum of under-
standing with 7-Eleven to create a company that will run the stores
under the 7-Eleven name. It is teaming up with Electra Consumer
Products. Several prior attempts to bring the convenience stores to
Israel failed.

7-Eleven, which was founded in Texas in 1927, operates in
21 countries aside from the United States, including the United
Arab Emirates, Sweden, China, Australia and South Korea. There
are about 71,100 7-Eleven stores worldwide and the company said
it serves more than 65 million customers daily.

Products offered at 7-Elevens vary by country. The company
already operates a store with a large variety of kosher goods in
Monsey, New York. l

JEWISHEXPONENT.COM Magen David Adom is Israel’s official ambulance, blood-services,
and disaster-relief organization. MDA has been on the front
lines in the fight against coronavirus while also contending with
terrorist attacks, car accidents, and other threats to Israeli lives.

But Magen David Adom is not government-funded. Its 25,000
EMTs and paramedics, most of them volunteers, rely on support
from people like you for the supplies and equipment they need
to perform their lifesaving work.

There are many ways to support Israel, but none that has a
greater impact on its people than a gift to Magen David Adom.

Your support isn’t just changing lives
— it’s literally saving them.
