AM in the A.M. It is a Wednesday morning. It is Arab Thanksgiving. Those of you listening around the world, you may not know what that means here. It means a really, really chill day in the United States of America as we get set for Thanksgiving and then Black Friday and all that stuff. It's a weird week here in the United States of America because people do go to work, but they find every excuse to leave early. We know people who left early yesterday. We know people who are off today. We know people who are turning Thanksgiving week into a very very uh vacation type uh atmosphere. Anyway, with us live in our studio, we've got the one and only Ellie White Cats. I've been on the air of course many many times before. He is somebody who has his uh hand on the pulse of what's happening in the community, especially in Bergen County in Tene, New Jersey. A pleasure to welcome you back to JM in the AM. >> Thank you very much, Nah. It's an honor to be here. >> Appreciate that. Mastoics. >> Yes. We had a beautiful wedding. >> How is it that I ended up sitting sitting next to you? >> Next to me like right like we were sharing forks and knives. >> Correct. I mean, we couldn't get out of each other's way. That's how close we were that way. >> My goodness, what an honor it was for me. And I'll tell you, you mentioned about people taking off. >> My company where I work today at 2:00, we have a flyer that went out that says, "Take a nap. Excuse me. >> Take a nap. That's the meaning. Turn off your computer, relax by your desk. That's my company today. Citizen um National Retail Solutions. >> Meaning what? That an hour later, you're back at work or you're or you're off for the weekend at that point. >> We didn't put we didn't put an end time, but you know, we wanted to >> So, the nap could last till Monday morning. >> Yeah. Our office has a has a has a built-in nap, >> right? And it could last for days in this case. >> It could last. We didn't actually Maybe we should have >> I mean, I'm assuming you're not going into that office Thursday. You're not coming in on Monday, Tuesday. We'll start sending out flyers saying nap time is over. >> Understood. But I can I can I I can assume you're not going in Thursday and Friday. >> I'm not going in Thursday or Friday. Correct. Thursday we have a big Thanksgiving. Um >> which we'll talk about, right? >> What's What's Tonnie Catz doing on Thursday and Friday? Does he have plans >> or we should ask him directly? >> Tonnie Cats is in our studio as well. Tonnie, good morning. >> Good morning. How are you? >> Shout out to the FR community. Shout out to the Camp Marisha community. >> Rabbi Senior. Rabbi Senior. Boy, >> we love Rabbi. >> He was the topic of conversation this past week because um we were hosting one of the great leaders of Jewish education in Israel who you know I'm not going to reveal who it was but you know you could imagine who I'm talking about and uh Rabbi Cena was a big topic conversation what he's doing with the first school. Pretty amazing. So >> it is really amazing and and I've said it to him and I I'll tell you what makes it so amazing and you're hearing it from someone who was never really a school person. Um, >> I like the way you put that. >> Yeah, I did it very gingerely. >> Um, >> I call myself academically challenged. How do you like that? I'm fancy when I say it. >> But look how well you turned out. Look how much look at the contribution. >> We accomplished something. Thank God. >> Rabbi Senior knows as as large as the first school is, Rabbi Senior knows how to give personal attention and personal I guess whatever your needs are for each individual student. And how many students are in each grade? Are there 200 in each grade? >> It grows every year. >> More than 200 in each grade. >> Yeah, easily. >> Wow. >> And that's really a a braha, you know, to be able to treat someone as you know. >> Oh, I get that. >> You leave fresh, you go to rait. >> Yes. >> Right. We we of course acknowledge the uh passing of Ryan Marcus who was the great founder of Rach. You were there for one year or more? I was there for one year, but um currently I just finished my semester and I'm going to be going for a month like the rest of my semester back to Ray. >> That's cool. >> Yes. >> When do you leave? >> I leave in a week. >> Ah, nice. >> Mhm. >> So, which semester just ends at the end of November? There are semesters in college that ended the at the end of November. >> I had a little like early exit dropout, but >> uh for good reasons. >> Yeah, we can say for good reason. >> Okay, good. >> He didn't drop out of school. He's still enrolled in school. So you go to race and then when you get back is it back to college or back to work or >> Yeah, back to college. >> And is that how you spend most of your day with hitting the books? Is that how you uh is that generally what you do most of the day? >> Not really most of the day. It's honestly college is way shorter than I thought. >> It's like only an hour, two hour day. >> When you go to Yeshiva High School, college ends up being a joke in terms of schedule. >> Yeah, exactly. >> Yeah. >> Boy, does it prepare you for college when you're sitting in school from 8:00 in the morning until 6:00 at night or whatever time >> the high school's closed these days. All right. So, how do you spend your time? Are you involved in any special projects or, you know, give me some insight into the life of Tiny Cats? >> Um, I work on some, um, clothing things on the side. And, um, >> what does that mean? You're online? >> No, not online. Um, >> so you and I do a big and tall fashion thing. >> You go ahead. I interrupted you guys. >> No, all good. All good. Um mostly like like some instore stuff and some like working with other brands. So yeah, we can say online. >> Interesting. >> And um >> so you're an entrepreneur. >> Some might say. I wouldn't say. >> Ellie, would you call him an entrepreneur? >> He definitely is an entrepreneur. He's very very creative. >> Nice. >> Yeah. And he's got that creative spark which is very important. And I noticed that he joins you at a lot of uh your own business encounters. Like he's uh >> Yeah, he he >> goes to some of the meetings you go to. >> Well, this summer he actually interned in the office with me. >> Wow. >> So, he went to a lot of different meetings. >> That's allowed. Some companies discourage that. You know, >> I'm not a big believer to be honest with you. I I hire family members. I'm okay with that. You know, to to me it actually is like you say I mean I'm not just hiring my family members. I'm saying I hire other people's family members. I figured, you know, when you come from good stock, the good stock runs throughout the family. >> Well, we know about your family and it's good stock. All right. Did he join you on any of the uh travel, any of the business trips that you generally take? Cuz you you spend time in a lot of different cities around the world. >> Absolutely. >> Where were you and what cities were you with the good dear old dad? >> So, we did Vegas >> convention? >> Yes. >> Or meetings or both? >> Both. Right. >> I was a speaker at one of at uh I believe one of those. >> Nice. >> Yeah. What did you do? Prepare on the plane. I >> I don't prepare on the >> How do you secret? >> I just sit and I'm ready for action, you know? I mean, I live I live my business, so I know what to say for the most part, >> right? >> No, I get that. Where where else? Any other uh any other traveler I was at? >> Oh, I think we did Florida. There's always like a Nashville or somewhere random in the map. Like some more men in the map every year. Yeah, we got to show them all the different states, even the square ones. >> I get it. Uh, what state or rather what site did you say we should start with this morning? There's a new website that you wanted to promote to our audience. And which one is that? >> We are fortunate to be sitting here in the heart of Tene on West Anglewood Avenue, Restaurant Row as many people call it, but uh I've uh given it a uh shopteneck.com website. >> Nice. and you're part of that shopteneck.com. If you go to shopteneck.com and you look for the NSN logo, >> it's there. >> It's there. And make sure you >> We're on the map. >> Click on it and visit the entire Nakam Seagull network and all the other empire is there one click away. >> One click to the empire. I like that. >> Why is it that restaurant row is on only one side of West Englewood? You can never get a restaurant to open up on what would this be, the east or west? What side is this? I go of >> technically it's the north. >> This is the north side. So on the south side you have all the restaurants. >> Yes. >> And on the north side you can't get one to open up. >> I was trying to do more like the clothing area on the north and the >> So did that happen on purpose? Like are all the kitchen facilities on the south side? >> Yeah. I mean I had options to build kitchens on this side as well, but I >> but it never worked out. >> I felt that I wanted to keep it over there. Although at one point I did want to do a pottery cafe downstairs. Um, we did a Kayla's gelato downstairs. Um, if all goes well and I introduced you to the individual, we're going to have a fantastic health. >> Is that moving forward >> or it's hard to say? >> It's hard to say until people actually >> Yeah, I get it. They got to make the commitment and they got to, you know, hey, food business is 24 hours a day, Ellie. You know that. >> It's It's true. >> It's a real commitment. >> It's 25 hours a day. That's the crazy thing about the food business. It just they figure out how to squeeze in an extra hour. I'll tell you who I really feel bad for. >> Who, >> and I assume you could relate to this cuz I assume some of your businesses have this. The ones that have to be open Saturday night >> because they don't even rest on Shabas. They're worried about opening up and getting there. >> Rushing over >> and is the staff going to show up and I got to rush over and everybody wants pizza 15 minutes after Shabas ends, >> right? So, you know, >> it's not easy. >> You know, the chopsticks when we first opened, we were open Saturday night. >> He gave up on that. >> So, I made a calculated decision and this was my decision. It was basically people were coming in Saturday night stuff from the chull and stuff from the cougle, >> right? >> And you know they were spending $5, $6 on a lunch special or whatever it was. You obviously at Saturday night there wasn't lunch special, it was like a dinner special, right? >> And I said, you know what, I'm paying all this money to bring all the chefs over and all the staff and this the sales are not so spectacular. I could probably grow it to be spectacular, but do I want that $10 ticket on a Saturday night or do I want them coming back to me on a Sunday for the $40, $50 ticket? >> So, that's a different pizza places can't think like that, >> right? So, if you look at the chopsticks menu, it actually says Saturday night closed, go for pizza. Actually, now when they say closed, go for chickies cuz chicks used to be open like also. >> Are they open Saturday? >> I think they are. >> And what are Fridays? Chopsticks open Fridays or not? Chopsticks is is wallto-wall Fridays. >> Big shop is special place. >> Who knew that Friday night, you know, we all knew we all knew that the is coming up on December 25th for Chinese, right? And we're all preparing for the December 25th kog of for Chinese. >> But who knew that Friday night was a Chinese food night as well? And they put it in metal tins. You get your soup. It's already >> Oh, and the 25th's a Thursday this year. You'll be inundated. >> Oh boy. >> Holy cow. Ellie Cats is here. Tiny Cats is here. Uh, tomorrow, Thanksgiving, Chopsticks open or closed? >> Chopsticks is open. >> It is open tomorrow. >> Chopsticks is open. And and more importantly, tomorrow we have our community Thanksgiving event. >> And where does that happen? >> Rain on Water Street. >> And when did this start? How many years ago did you implement a Thanksgiving program? >> Over 12 years ago, we do a Thanksgiving event for emergency service workers, right? They're not with their families. They're with the Tene families. So, we invite them to come and join us. Seniors, you'd be amazed how many seniors do not have a place to go. Um, we >> Oh, it's a kosher event. >> Fully kosher. >> Douggee, Chopsticks, Butterflake. You got amazing sponsors. >> Douggee, Chopsticks, Butterflake. Um, and it's done with We actually have a gentleman in the kitchen, Shommer Shabas, who's helping the chef. What? Yeah. I mean, he's cooking. is, you know, it's and obviously it's it's all sealed. Um, so we have veterans, seniors, emergency service workers, and >> you know, you'd also be amazed how sadly in in these times how difficult it is, people um that just need a warm meal. >> You know, especially when we just went through what we went through with the government shutdown and and how many families uh are rely on wick and and EBT and um >> the people that are mentioned, including yourself, these are what are these government officials? Are these community people? Who are these folks? >> I didn't put any titles on anybody. These are >> Everyone has a role. >> Everybody Well, Dean Kazinski is a famous township manager who retired about about a year and a half ago and um he's always been helpful and active. Jackie Hash Jacqueline Hashmat is the current township manager and she's doing a spectacular job. I mean, I want to tell you how good of a job she's doing. One of the number I guess the top three complaints that we get as government officials are obviously taxes, snow and leaves and how do I get into the senior facility on East Cedar Lane. >> Parking tickets is not among those. >> No, it's probably like a number number nine or 10, but we tell everybody obviously that you know once a ticket is written only the police officer him only the judge himself, not even the police officer can remove it. But with that said, so snow we Tene is is the the darling child in in New Jersey. Everybody wants to know how Tene gets does their snow, right? And we do such a spectacular job. I get calls from residents in Bergenfield saying, "Do you think you can send a plow over, you know, but leaves is another one of those top items that people complain about." And this year we got ahead of the schedule and we, you know, told people we're going to be on your block on a Wednesday. We ended up showing up on Monday, Tuesday. We got there early. That's how good of a job our town manager is doing. >> Nice. >> Gets there early. In fact, I'm told that the snowstorm that's coming in the next couple days, she already took care of it. >> I was wondering if you had heard about it. >> I heard about it. >> I heard this morning. I know. A November snowstorm. Like, give me a break. >> Yeah. >> Remember 2010? Do you remember the end of 2010? >> Um, >> where it snowed in November and and there was snow on the ground till April. >> Yeah, >> it was crazy. New Year's weekend was like two feet of snow. That was crazy. That was the end of that was really the last time that we were inundated by terrible snow. The end of 2010, early 2011. And I'm hoping we don't replicate that this winter. I hope. >> I hope. I hope as well. >> And if we do, we'll blame you. You get blamed for everything else. Why not? >> Connie and I are set to go to Atlanta on Saturday night. >> No snow there. Although when I was in Atlanta in December one year, there was a threat of snow and there was a mist that fell in the early morning. They canceled school. They cancelled school. >> I was with my wife in Ushalam many many years ago and there was like a dust of snow and the whole the whole city shut down. >> So I was in December of 2013 for the blizzard, >> right? And you'll find it funny. Uh the people in the hotel took a water garden hose and started hosing this. I said, "Do you guys realize what that water's going to turn into in a few minutes?" They had no idea how to deal with it. And the funniest part was I was near Dinka on that Sunday morning when there was still five, six inches on the on the ground and somebody was trying to get their car out and I said to them in Hebrew, I said, "Would you let me do it?" I said, "I've done this a million times. I'll show you how to get and I took out the carpet." If somebody had a newspaper, all you have to do is shove it under. >> Exactly. Or a good shovel, which basically nobody has unless you live in that front and you're and you're able to plan ahead. All right. So, all these folks that you some you mentioned, some you didn't mention are all part of this. It happens on Thanksgiving tomorrow at Rain on Water Street in Tene, New Jersey. It starts at 11:00 a.m. And your goal is simply to provide a good hot warm meal for everybody who's >> for everybody. And we're looking for volunteers. And what we always say, and this really makes a lot of people feel comfortable, is that our volunteers are there to participate and part of their participation is sit down and eat. I know it sounds crazy, but yeah, like nobody wants to be the person who needs a meal and standing there going, "Okay, can you, you know, you want to give them their dignity." So part of giving them their dignity is we eat as a community, we talk as a community, we laugh as a community, and Tonnie is going to be the DJ for like the 10th year in a row, minus the year that he was in ratio where he gave it to his 12-year-old sister to do. >> Now, when did we discover that Tonnie has the ability to be an effective DJ? When did you uh when did we discover this and toss you into the limelight on Thanksgiving Day? I tested my waters doing like a couple bar mitzvah like the classic like Coke and Pepsi like on the mic >> and it worked well, huh? >> Uh, mixed results. >> Interesting. And now And now you're a seasoned veteran when it comes to DJing. >> Yes. Now once a year I get my time. >> And And what will be prominent on the playlist tomorrow? Is there are there any Thanksgiving or USA tunes that might seep into your playlist tomorrow to really give it a flavor of the day? >> Yeah, I might keep it patriotic. >> Nice. Yeah, >> I like that. >> Sometimes I'll sneak in like a little Jewish music. >> Wow. >> And the veterans will like it. >> Like a toad song or something after all, you know. >> Yeah. It is a day to give thanks, isn't it? For everybody. And by the way, to your and and we should mention that the event tomorrow is co-sponsored by American Legion 128 and Tene Veterans for foreign wars 1429 1429. my friend Lenny Henig who's actually unfortunately recovering right now, but his son Mike Henik is he's he's recovering in a rehab facility. He had some type of um problems with his legs, but his son Mike Henik is our chef in the kitchen. >> And I got to tell you something, Ellie. Yeah. >> And and this is one of the reasons I think this conversation is so important, and I'm sure it's shocking some of the folks that are in this audience. >> You're going to be sitting there tomorrow with a completely mixed crowd. people from the Orthodox community, people from the general Jewish community, people from the secular community, people from the general T-neck and Bergen County community. And I've noticed this since I moved here, and everyone realizes again that I'm here since the the fire took out my studio in Manhattan. I'm splitting my time between Tene and New York City since then. So, I've gotten, you know, used to this place. And it is amazing to see the brotherhood and camaraderie between so many different communities here. And I think I and people may think I'm exaggerating, but if you come from, you know, areas that the Jewish community is generally used to, it doesn't usually work that way. >> I think you nailed it on the head. And that's why it's uh really a community unity Thanksgiving event. You really have everybody, all your neighbors from all four corners of the town coming together, enjoying just a warm meal, sitting together. People bring board games. People are singing. People tell Tonnie, you know, change the music to this and change the music to that. Lower the music depending upon your age group, you know. >> Takes a lot of requests all day. I would imagine. >> It's not an easy job for him. It's >> true. >> You know, but uh but but the most beautiful the most beautiful part is when you see the pictures, when you come there live and you see the energy. And by the way, we're going to be uh raising um we need we need non-p perishables for Never Home uh Never Alone Again uh resource center. It's a resource center that's around the corner. So, >> and you'd like people to actually bring items? >> Yes, bring some items. Bring some uh uh we're collecting feminine products, shampoo, body wash for this pantry um and the people in need. >> And that serves everyone in the community. >> That serves everyone. You know what's interesting, by the way, and again, I hope I'm not exaggerating when I say this, when the protests were going on and people weren't very happy with Israel and all the stuff that was happening in Bergen County and so many other counties in this country at that time, there were those who said that the agitators are being bust in from other places. Here, it was easy to believe that because I see the way people generally get along here, even when they disagree on stuff. >> Yeah. And I and I think that you've been part of this effort to really make sure that the core part of the communities feel like they're part of a community >> and and and I think it's because of events like this. We don't wait for um the bad, you know, the bad days. >> You don't wait for conflict. >> So on sunny days, yeah, we understand each other. We know each other. We we have, you know, if there's an issue, then we can sit down and talk to each other. And and I think that's what has made TX so special that we're so proactive with the multicultural and and getting together and the event. >> It's not perfect, but I think you do a really good job. >> Nothing nothing's perfect, but there's communication. I want to tell you like I have an unbelievable relationship with the Muslim community. I mean, you know, Tene used to have a Muslim mayor. Um he did he served three terms. Um I was his campaign manager all three terms. Um, and uh, you know, as far as when when I was in the hospital last year, the the leadership of the mosque, they called me to check on me several times. They were the first ones to come to visit me the day after I got out of the hospital. Brought me a beautiful plant. I mean, this is really what Tene and this is really what humanity is about. So, uh, >> yeah, it's doable. You make the effort, it's doable, folks. >> It's doable, you know. Exactly. You make the effort. That's what >> And if you're dealing with people who are sincere to make it happen also, you know. Correct. You have good partners in >> open-minded re recognize that we're all we're all children of of God no matter who you are, where you are. And uh you just have to treat each other with respect. The basic principles and uh that's what's so beautiful about this event tomorrow. And that's why I encourage everybody if you can hear me and tell your friends and tell your neighbors to come out. >> Um National Retail Solutions are doing all right. >> National Retail Solutions, we're doing great. We're the number one point of sale register for the independent convenient liquor tobacco shop. We do uh credit card processing. >> That's for the whole country. >> For the whole country. >> Um so thank goodness they're doing great. Cash advance uh payroll. Um and just an amazing >> How many years have you been involved with that whole thing? >> Uh 10 years. We start I started it 10 years ago. It's under IDT. The Jonas family who's one of the most You want to talk about humanity and most spectacular individuals that are out there. the Jonases. You know, I shouldn't say this, but I'll say it because they're probably not listening right now, but I always wondered when I go on to these like synagogue plaques and I look at them and I'm like, anonymous gave anonymous ge who's anonymous. I never met this person anonymous. But after meeting the Jonases, I found out who Anonymous is. They are the most giving people, the most goodarted, >> and they do so mostly anonymous. >> They do. So, unless like people think that they that they want to like, oh, let me, you know, how Mr. Jonas, let me uh put your name in. But he's they're not into that. They don't run. They don't run for credit. They really they just like to help help >> all quietly. >> All quietly. And I don't know if you know this, but they started, you know, the head of yeshiva in at IDT, >> right? >> This year with a a partnership with Hala Torah, they created a >> shout out Rabbi Steckler. >> Rabbi Steckler. I'm a big Rabbi Steckler fan. >> Oh yeah. And and Shimmy Catz, who's the chief operating officer of Hal, does a fantastic job. We kind of know him. >> I didn't realize that. >> Yeah. My my father's pretty active as well on Heal. >> But yeah, Rabbi Steckler, >> your father's a Jewish community legend. I didn't realize he was I'm honored to to be his son. Honestly, I feel if I was 10% as good as he, I'd be very happy. >> What do you think of grandpa? >> Oh, he's the greatest. >> What do you call him? I call him Zadeie. >> Zadeie. >> Yeah, he's the best. He's literally >> Zadeie cares about people a lot. >> Yeah, he gets people better than people. >> It's a good one. I like that. >> I like that. You know, and he built the Mcfentine, the first MCN. Before that, we had to all go to Washington Heights. So, >> and he used to take me every single morning to the to the job site. I was probably about six at the time, every day to check on it. And uh when they came to pouring the cement, they called me up and they said, "We want Ellie Cats to put his fingers in it. He's been here every day." You know, usually I've got to do that at night. Here I got an invitation. And I'll tell you one one little one more Ellie Cats is that I don't know about the current because the current mikvah has been been all you know obviously renovated >> but it's you know for the Kalin mikvah it's like a 15 or 20 foot drop to go to blow >> right. So when they saw Ellie cats at the job site every single day, they um said, "We need to put in some type of protection, not a safeard, >> a safeguard." So about 3 ft in, they put in a like a a plastic plate with a hole in it specific so that for the Ellie Cats of the world, they don't go falling into >> because that has happened. Not to you, I'm sure, but it has happened. >> It's happened. >> There have been Kayla Mick for disasters. >> Kayla Mick for problems. Yes. >> Uh anyway, um so that's the story. Tomorrow, Thanksgiving in Tene, the location is 399 Water Street. If you want to be involved as a volunteer, if you know somebody who would appreciate a warm kosher meal, who generally doesn't get one, starts at 11:00 a.m. Any information, contact Ellie Catz, and go to uh I'm sure they can reach you through the website, the shop website, right? shopteen.com. They should go and come to West Anglewood Avenue. Enjoy the wonderful all the amazing restaurants here. >> What's Tony's favorite item at Chopsticks? Do you have one or not? >> Honestly, it changes, but the consistency probably the egg roll. Just the chicken egg roll. >> Chicken egg roll is very, very good. >> People don't know about the chicken egg roll. >> Does uh Does Tonnie know about Bardock? Have you ever been to the Bardock restaurant in Jerusalem? >> We were just there. >> What do you think? >> I love it. >> I gave it a 10 out of 10. Was that too generous on my part? You also gave it a 10. >> I I don't I I was taught at a young age you can't give anything a 10. >> And this this is the exception. Huh. >> Yeah. This is the one exception. But no, it's great. It's It's amazing. They are really creative. >> They're very creative. Great menu, a fun menu, and a really good atmosphere. I mean, that corner of Jerusalem is fantastic. >> Yeah. >> The cats and the seagulls highly recommending Bardock. Put on your You know, people going for Thanksgiving to Israel.
