Seven religious men, all in their 20s, from Flatbush, Brooklyn wanted to observe Shabbos last week while vacationing on Wellesley Island in northern New York’s Thousand Islands region. However, five hours before Shabbos the young men realized they forgot to bring challah, grape juice, kugels and other traditional foods for a Shabbos meal, and they had to act fast to get out of their predicament.
There is a Price Chopper supermarket in nearby Alexandria Bay, Jefferson County, but they have a limited assortment of kosher products, certainly not kosher challahs. The bochrum knew of a kosher Price Chopper four hours away in the town of Colonie, Albany County, that ships kosher food to any other Price Chopper supermarket.
