I was shocked to hear that our neighbor, Michael Brown, passed away on May 2, 2024, and even more so to find out only after thirty days had passed. I had gone to see him because I noticed his house was up for sale. I assumed he was moving to Florida or somewhere else...

Kurbani

This was the first year when I went to butcher shops for Kurbani of Eid-ul-Azha (Annual religious sacrifice). We deposited $500 to a butcher shop in Pipersville, PA to get a bull of around 1800lbs. That was a Thursday and he told our organizer that he only had big...
