Konjo Eatery is no longer kosher
The owner of the formerly kosher restaurant and cafe Konjo Eatery has taken to social media to express his disappointment with Kosher Australia’s handling of his business’ kosher certification. Ashu Tale, an Ethiopian Jewish restaurateur who personally observes kashrut and keeps Shabbat, alleged that the treatment he received from Kosher Australia was “really racist”. According to Tale, Adass explained that they were hesitant to grant certification due to concerns that working with Konjo Eatery might jeopardise their existing collaborations with Kosher Australia. Due to what Kosher Australia deemed “issues of Kashrus”, Konjo Eatery had its kosher certification and supervision terminated early last month, and according to Tale it was without warning. The AJN reached out to Kosher Australia for comment, but they did not respond.

Raiders have depth of options at running back
Wylie East’s offense had two explosive runners last season and will have to replace that production in 2023. With running back Tristan Lee and athlete Terrell Washington Jr. graduating and moving on, they leave a void in the Raiders’ backfield. The duo combined for 1,624 yards (84 percent of the Wylie East rushing yards last season) and 21 of the team’s 23 rushing touchdowns in 2022. Despite his inexperience at the high school level on offense, the Raiders feel confident both players can handle the pressure of carrying the football on offense. “In the modern game, you have to be able to block and catch the ball out of the backfield,” Gold said.

Chapman finished the season with over 700 yards and eight touchdowns, but now once again leaves a void to fill at running back for the third straight season. Luckily for the Pirates and head coach Jimmy Carter, the team has been in this position before and likes the options heading into 2023. “All of these guys have been in our system and know what we want from them in the backfield,” Carter said. “If you have two or three good running backs, you can run the football really well,” Carter said.

Instead, they were surprised by the arrival of their children who are serving in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

Home Care – Ethiopian Business Review - Satenaw: Ethiopian News
A Growing Practice of Medical Care in TownThe practice of sending older people and those who need special care to specialized centres are rare in Ethiopia. Residents of a nursing home care facility have access to competent nursing care and 24-hour medical treatment because there is always at least one qualified and registered nurse on the premises. Similarly, unstable employment and poverty can lead to inadequate family care. Some nursing homes offer specialized care centres; they have staff members who look after resident patients with a particular medical condition. While all nursing homes provide housing and personal care, certain speciality nursing homes also offer additional services for residents with more complex requirements.
