Reply To: Helping Our Fellow Yid With Parnassa

I don’t think I’m painting with too broad a brush. My experiences and those of my friends tell me I’m right on the money. Indeed we are all hurting financially. Business is down everywhere, and expenses are going up. Interestingly, I haven’t seen furm owned stores reduce prices or offer specials the way larger non-Jewish owned stores do. That may be due to the superior buying power of the large stores. But, barring speciality items, I don’t feel constrained to shop in heimish stores; especially considering the number of non-Jewish lawyers the heimish velt hires when I and my frum colleagues are available.
