Observing Passover in Baldwin-Whitehall: What You Need to Know

Here is a list of resources, events and services in honor of the Jewish observance.

It's almost time to break out the matzo. Passover arrives on March 25 this year, when Jews across the world will come together to retell the Exodus story over four cups of wine (or grape juice for those who can't indulge), and of course, a large, festive feast. Passover Traditions As the story goes, during their flight from slavery, the Jews did not have enough time for their dough to rise, resulting in a flaky cracker that is eaten instead of bread for a full week during Passover.

Visions for Vacancies: What Could Fill a Need at Brownsville Plaza?

A corner storefront is available for lease.

Bottom Dollar Food opened in the Brownsville Plaza in south Baldwin Borough in January, occupying 24,141 square feet of once-vacant space and joining Dave's Terrace Bakery (3,271 square feet), Dr. Howard S. Pittle (3,184) and Sargo's Barber Shop (613) as plaza tenants. Kinesis Physical Therapy then opened in August and put 2,148 more square feet to good use. At some point, Boost Mobile also came along and leased 843 square feet of plaza space. But as of Nov. 1, the Brownsville Plaza still has one vacant storefront—a 2,725-square-foot spot situated nicely at the building's front-right corner. The spot most recently housed Instant Vacation Tanning. Barry S. Rogers is the real estate manager for the Brownsville Plaza. Rogers represents …
