L.I. Synagogue Boots Controversial Caterer From Its Premises

Morrell Caterers of Woodbury, L.I., which has been accused by its former general manager and its chief chef of preparing non-kosher food in one of the synagogues it serves, has had its contract terminated by one of them.
The Woodbury Jewish Center served a 10-day notice of termination on the firm late Tuesday that orders it to vacate the premises by March 5. The notice reportedly cites not only halachic (Jewish law) concerns but material breaches of its contract, including the allegation that Morrell Caterers has not paid the synagogue for the last two years.
Morrell Caterers’ lawyers are going to court today (Thursday) to seek a temporary restraining order.
Letters were sent to the congregation Thursday night notifying it of the termination by both the synagogue rabbi, Raphael Adler, and its president, Cindy Matte.

Its all true. He has not paid in over two years! Yet he claims that his integrity is intact!
Really Anonymous. You make such a devastating comment about someones business and livelihood, yet you will not identify yourself. Surely you could stand up and offer the proof of your convictions much the way Mr. Morrell has stood up to the character assassination he has dealt with these two weeks. Perhaps it is you who should be "looking" for your own integrity.
