I just ordered a copy of Jews Welcome Coffee by Robert Liberles, and anticipate I will enjoy reading the book as much as I enjoyed reading the title. I hope to be reporting here shortly.
I am heartsick to learn that Robert Liberles did not live to see the book in print. He was a person of rare decency and quiet kindness who illuminated every room he entered. May his memory be for a blessing, and may his soul be bound up in the eternal bond of life.
Is Kopi-Luwak coffee kosher?
ReplyDeleteRobert Liss wrote a good historical novel about Sephardim and the revolutionary aspect of coffee for them in Amsterdam in the mid-17th century. Called "The Coffee Trader"
ReplyDeleteSince my parents never drank black coffee, they only had tea after flayshik meals.
ReplyDeleteAmy,
ReplyDeleteThe short answer seems to be yes, if it is ever permissible to spend a hundred dollars for a cup of coffee.
