Vaad Debunks Rumors, Backs Kosher Eatery
Gossip about the kashrut status of a local kosher restaurant has been declared
untrue by the agency that supervises the standards.
"Slanderous rumors circulating about the kashrus of 173 Express, the res-
taurant in the JCC of Oak Park ... are motzei sheimrah, completely false wrote
Rabbi Beryl Broyde, kashrut coordinator of the Vaad Harabonim, the Council of
Orthodox Rabbis of Greater Detroit in Southfield, in a letter to area synagogues.
"The standards of kashrus at 173 Express are — and continue to be — excellent':
At the request of 173 Express owner Eli Weingarden, Rabbi Broyde has person-
ally overseen the eatery's supervision on behalf of the Vaad since November, the
rabbi wrote.
"Since then I have been making inspections on a daily basis, and I oversee and
take responsibility for all aspects of kashrus there he added.
In addition, the rabbi wrote, "A frum [observant] and responsible working
mashgiach [kashrut supervisor] is on the premises at all times and is account-
able to me for all kashrus matters. I therefore give this restaurant my whole-
hearted recommendation:'
Said Weingarden, "Our standards have always been high. We've had no issues
and no problems. We have always used the best products and adhered to the very
highest level of kashrut."

Google Mogul Takes Bride
Google Inc. billionaire co-founder Sergey Brin married his longtime girlfriend
recently in a ceremony in the Bahamas, a relative said recently.
The relative told Reuter's that about 60 people attended Brin's wedding to
Anne Wojcicki. It was held on a sandbar May 5 and mixed Jewish traditions with
some unusual ones.
For example, said the relative, in most weddings guests don't wear swimsuits.
He said all guests took a boat to the sandbar, but some got off early to swim.
Brin himself was keeping mum.
A reporter supposedly congratulated him during a media session to discuss
Google's new Web search service and Brin was silent for a while before smiling
faintly and saying, "Let's keep it to search:'
The bride met her husband through her sister Susan, who sublet her garage
in the house she was renting to Brin and his Google partner and fellow Stanford
University classmate, Larry Page, when they were getting Google off the ground
in 1998, according to the San Jose Mercury News. Brin, 33, has an estimated net
worth of $14 billion, placing him at No. 12 on the Forbes magazine list of richest
Americans last year.
