The owner of the caterer accused in a lawsuit of tainting kosher food received strong support on Friday from the rabbi who provides supervision at one of the caterer’s sites.
“We have done our investigation and nothing was compromised,” Rabbi Meir Goldberg, who is responsible for kosher supervision at Woodbury Jewish Center, told VIN News. “We stand behind them one thousand percent.”
Scott Morrell, the owner of the caterer that runs out of Temple Israel in Lawrence and two other synagogues, allegedly stored and cooked foods such as shellfish and pork on the same dishes, pots and ovens as the kosher foods for more than a year, according to the lawsuit by Chef Michael Savitsky and general manager Tom Cataldo.
Goldberg said that the Vaad Hakashrus of Flatbush has supervised and will continue to supervise Morrell Caterers at their Woodbury location. Goldberg affirmed that the other facilities used by Morrell were handled appropriately for kosher food.
“Scott does not play games when it comes to kashrus,” he said.
Rabbi Hershel Billet, of Young Israel of Woodmere, expressed confidence in Morrell's glatt kosher operations in a email sent out to the shul's members.
"The Vaad of Flatbush assures us that that it is impossible for anything other than reliably kosher food to be cooked on their utensils in Lawrence," he wrote. "Therefore, at present, it is my opinion that the Vaad Hakashrut of Flatbush hashgacha in both Lawrence and Woodbury is trustworthy and you need not be concerned about using either place from a Kashrut point of view."

Santa,
Darling... the person holding the shrimp was a bus boy. We all love Morrells quality and since you've written them checks for tens of thousands of dollars, its easy to talk yourself into beliveing you got what you paid for. The truh is, you were sold a sophisticated lavish expensive party for your ego which is now bruised.
I'd offer covering his legal fees, if you really want to show support. Just drop a check under the door at the WJC

KOSHER PRISON LOAF
6 slices whole wheat bread, finely chopped
• 4 ounces imitation cheddar cheese, finely grated
• 4 ounces raw carrots, finely grated
• 12 ounces spinach, canned, drained
• 2 cups dried Great Northern Beans, soaked,
cooked and drained
• 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 6 ounces potato flakes, dehydrated
• 6 ounces tomato paste
• 8 ounces powdered skim milk
• 4 ounces raisins
Mix all ingredients in a 12-quart mixing bowl. Make sure all wet items are drained. Mix until stiff, just moist enough to spread. Form three loaves in glazed bread pans. Place loaf pans in the oven on a sheet pan filled with water, to keep the bottom of the loaves from burning. Bake at 325 degrees in a convection oven for approximately 45 minutes. The loaf will start to pull away from the sides of the bread pan when done.

Relational transgressions occur when people violate implicit or explicit relational rules. These transgressions include a wide variety of behaviors. Scholars tend to delineate relational transgressions into three categories or approaches. The first approach focuses on the aspect of certain behaviors as a violation of relational norms and rules. The second approach focuses on the interpretive consequences of certain behaviors, particularly the degree to which they hurt the victim, imply disregard for the victim, and imply disregard for the relationship. The third and final approach focuses more specifically on behaviors that constitute infidelity (a common form of relational transgression).[1]

You are going to see plenty of accusations of broken promises and rule violations: Occasions during which a partner fails to keep a promise, changes plans with no warning or explanation, or violates a rule that the offended person assumes was binding
Deception, secrets, privacy: Instances in which a partner lied, kept important information a secret, failed to keep sensitive information private, or violated privacy boundaries. Its all coming out.
Abuse: Verbal or physical threats. I cant wait to read the list of my way or the highway victims.
Someones got alot to explain James. Do you think the DA doesn't have anything other the partners word???????? After the lawyers toss him, but good good you will see him seating peolple at the pancake house.

Stephen, These people writing such slanderous comments have another agenda. They also have no credibility. Suggestion Stephen, look at the other Morrell articles and remove all the slanderous comments so your web site remains credible. I know the Morrell's very well and they are honest and authentic people who run a class act business.
