There's a kosher deli across from our apartment on W 85th St that's festooned with pix of the Lubavitcher Rebbe. Recently, awning appeared with a passage from the Psalms (something about "bulls will then be offered") and a banner flying over the entrance that promises "un avant-gout de la boeuf messianique" (excuse me if I'm screwing up my genders there - my French was never very good). Does anyone have any idea what they're talking about? Are the hamburgers they serve somehow a foretaste of the end-times?
