Shout out to Mick, the legendary owner of the IGA in Broken Hill. What did he do? He's arranged for yummy Glicks Challah to be available out his outback store. If you're in far west NSW and looking to make a Shabbat, go no further!
Mick, who has Italian heritage, has been in Broken Hill for ages, and recalls a Jewish shopkeeper named Harold Griff, who ran a furniture store. One time, someone let lose on Mick with some unsavoury name calling, and Harold was sure to stick up for Mick and protect his dignity. Harold said to Mick, "You've got to keep going, despite the racism that may come your way".
Harold would say, "Without the Italians, the Jews, and the Greeks, no one in Broken Hill would have any luxuries in life."
Thank you to Nat, a doctor currently practicing in Broken Hill, for facilitating this fantastic development!
