Daniel Greer has played an instrumental role in the relocation of “Kosher kitchen” Yavs. This young house of Israel at the location of Yale was shifted to a location on-campus. When Daniel Greer entered the law school of Yale in the year of 61 and in September, there used to be a Kosher kitchen under Rabbi Gelman Aaron’s supervision at the synagogue of Young Israel on the street of Norton. Initially, suppers were fed on four weekdays to less than nine students. Significant deterrents were there in the undergraduates participating. First, every undergraduate paid to university board irrespective of whether they ate or notate. Secondly, the option of kosher dinners was there. Thirdly another deterrent was location on-campus. Here is how he created an environment so welcoming.
The move to rented quarters
In the year of 1962, during summer after finishing a year in the Law school of Yale, Daniel Greer shifted to the rented quarters in Dixwell Avenue which never used to be far from the Gym. An expert lady was hired as the cook and expansion of offerings happened to suppers and lunches including lunch on Sundays. The hostel board plight was brought to the attention of administration and people were released from board “board” payments. On the new location, food that was freshly cooked was offered and no mandatory paying board was there to release the kosher eaters. The Israel house located on the campus simply took off.
Food served daily
Dinner and lunch were served daily with festive breakfast. As this joint became more popular, it was further moved to the Crown Street.
