City to Pool Kittel Grape Juice Stains, Help Feed Poor

Call it the most innovative act of charity ever. Residents of Cleveland Heights OH have come up with a creative way to help the many struggling families in their community. With the help of Tayror Load Cleaners of Taylor Road and their patented "StainSqueeze", process residents will be able to have their kittels squeezed out and pooled to provide grape juice for the impoverished.

Shimon Ofder, President of the newly formed organization, "Juice for Jews" said he came up with the idea after the second Passover Seder."I was sitting with my four brothers and a cousin and we were all comparing our newly spotted kittels and it occurred to me that we could probably fill Eliyahu's Cup with it." After much squeezing the men were barely able to fill a quarter of a shot glass but, nevertheless an idea was born. Ofder then approached Sing Chu of Tayror Load Cleaners. He chose Tayror Load because he was familiar with their work."They did a bang up job on a cholent stained tie for me in '96" said Ofder.

Through their procedure dubbed "StainSqueeze" for its ability to squeeze stains, the cleaners squeezes out the stains into a large barrel. The barrel is then emptied out, bottled and labeled with the original Juice for Jews Sticker and delivered to the needy of the community. The kittels are then starched and hung and clean as new.

While the Grape Juice is said to be quite tasty, the FDA shockingly refused to give its approval. However Rabbis who observed the procedure deemed it Kosher. "Even if there may be a slight charayne after-taste, I definitely lend my seal of approval to this product and advise drinkers to make the blessing of Hagafan on the product.This wine is suitable for Kiddush as well." said Rabbi Yosef Shaborovitz in a press-release.

Soup kitchens and homeless shelters are keeping a close watch on the program as this may be a sign of how we feed the poor in the future "Were keeping a close watch on the program as this may be a sign of how we feed the poor in the future" said a source we spoke to for this article.
