Path to White House Runs Through (Non-Kosher) Jewish Deli in Philadelphia

Hymie's Deli, a non-kosher Jewish deli in the Philadelphia suburbs, has become a focal point in the presidential race between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.

A video ad supporting President-elect Trump was posted on YouTube on Saturday, October 19. The ad, sponsored by the Republican Jewish Coalition, featured three Jewish women seated in a booth discussing some of the issues in the campaign.

A few days later, the same deli was used for a competing ad supporting Vice President Kamala Harris.

The ads were featured in a commentary by talk show host Michael Smerconish and posted on YouTube.

The deli, which serves traditional Jewish foods, is not under kosher supervision. In a response to a question on the internet about whether the meat served is kosher, the owner replied: "No, we are not a kosher deli. We are more of a "New York" style deli-restaurant, but we do sell meat & cheese together as well as bacon, etc..."

If you look very closely, you will see that the coffee mugs on the table bear a clearly non-partisan, non-political message:

LIFE
LIBERTY
PASTRAMI

Here is the Smerconish post, including both ads.

Enjoy!
