• Your Daily Phil: Old guard passing torch to new generation of Jewish leaders (ejewishphilanthropy.com) — Brooklyn residents facing food insecurity may soon benefit from Met Council's new 22,000-square-foot warehouse in Canarsie, funded in part by a $1 million state matching grant. The group's Brooklyn hub is already distributing record amounts of kosher food as requests rise about 18%, reflecting higher grocery costs for working-class New Yorkers.
