SEPTEMBER

New York (JTA) — In the
two years since the fall of
Communism many dramatic
changes have taken place in
Moscow, so it was perhaps
inevitable that the Russian
capital would finally have
its first kosher restaurant.
In the past, Russian Jews
who wanted to keep kosher
had to eat at home and, be-
cause there were no kosher
butchers, restrict them-
selves largely to a
vegetarian diet.
But this summer, Moscow
businessman Igor Bukharov
transformed Vege Burger, a
4-year-old restaurant, into a
kosher eatery.
The restaurant, which
serves some 800 people each
day, has 16 indoor tables
watched over by a larger-
than-life mural of New York
City. For those preferring al
fresco dining there are eight
tables under striped um-
brellas outside the restau-
rant.
Because it is still difficult
to obtain kosher meat in
Moscow, Vege Burger offers
a dairy-only menu, but that
has not lessened its pop-
ularity.
The restaurant's special —
a vegetable burger with fries
and a soft drink — costs the
equivalent of $1.50. An en-
tire dinner costs about $6.50.
Pleased with the success of
Vege Burger, Mr. Bukharov
is planning to open a kosher
food store and a formal
kosher restaurant that will
feature more traditional
kosher foods than his cur-
rent fast-food eatery.
According to Rabbi Berel
Lazar, director of Chabad
Lubavitch in Moscow, there
have been requests for a
kosher eatery in Moscow for
a long time. Prospective
kosher restaurateurs,
however, were fearful of an
anti-Semitic backlash.
But now, Rabbi Lazar said,
Jewish Muscovites are en-
thusiastic about the new
cafe — and it has not
prompted any acts of anti-
t Semitism.
"It is in a very good loca-
tion, next to three train sta-
tions" said Rabbi Lazar.
"There are constantly people
there."
Rabbi Lazar added,
however, that foreigners do
not appear all that excited
about the cafe's kosher
cuisine.
"In Russia, they are not
that good at cooking," Rabbi
Lazar conceded. 0
