It was then that the kosher kitchen of Yale was situated at young Israeli synagogue. It served weekday dinners almost four times a week to almost eight of the attending students. The kitchen was under Aaron Gelman, another Rabbi’s direction however headed by another American Herby Gold.
The kitchen was located inconveniently but students that studies in the university were expected to pay the entire board fees. This was irrespective of the fact that whether they ate or not in the campus’s kosher facilities.
Greer’s decision
Since Daniel Greer was a student during those times, he along with other members helped in moving the kitchen right next to the gym of Yale. The offerings of food expanded to weekday dinners and lunches including the lunch on Sunday. The progress was certainly undeniable yet kitchen needed participants additionally. These participants would make the canteen stable financially.
Now on-campus location
There were two other freshmen, Carl Posy and Carl Fiet who were Jewish and could easily participate in this program, once they got released from paying board fees to the university unnecessarily. Greer spoke for them and with time the case kept on continuing. However, not very later, the Young House Israel started succeeding because many students started getting food here which eventually got to enjoy a location on the campus. Today, it s very much located there.
