TO ALL NOSH SUPPORTERS:
IT IS WITH A SAD HEART THAT I MUST ADVISE THE NOSH KOSHER CAFE & MINAS ART/GIFT GALLERY IS CLOSED DUE TO FINANCIAL LOSSES & AN INABILITY TO CONTINUE OPERATIONS.
I WOULD LIKE TO THANKS EVERYONE WHO HAS BEEN SO VERY SUPPORTIVE THESE PAST 2 1/2 YEARS. THIS INCLUDES BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO OUR STAFF, MENTORS, CUSTOMERS & OTHERS.
WHILE WE TRIED TO CONDUCT AN ORDERLY CLOSURE, TO ENSURE THAT ALL STAFF MEMBERS WOULD BE COMPENSATED FULLY, THE LANDLORD, MR. ZBIGNIEW KUPIEC, OWNER OF SWIT COMPANIES, CHANGED THE LOCKS ON THE DOORS OF THE NOSH ON FRIDAY, AUGUST 14. HE WAS MADE AWARE OF OUR PLANS TO CONDUCT AN ORDERLY CLOSURE, WITH PAYMENTS TO STAFF AS A PRIMARY CONCERN, ON THURSDAY, AUGUST 13. HE CHOSE TO PUT HIS OWN INTEREST BEFORE THAT OF INNOCENT STAFF MEMBERS THAT ARE NOT AS WEALTHY AS HE IS.
I WILL REMAIN IN TARNOW FOR THE UPCOMING WEEKS TO TRY & PROTECT THE ARTISTS WHOSE PICTURES HANG IN THE GALLERY & ARE IN THE GALLERY ON CONSIGNMENT. THESE PAINTINGS DO NOT BELONG TO THE NOSH/MINAS ART/GIFT GALLERY & THESE IS A LEGAL PROCESS TO RETURN THESE PIECES OF ART BACK TO THEIR LEGITIMATE OWNERS.
WHILE I HAVE THE SUPPORT OF MANY TO ASSIST IN THIS PROCESS, THERE ARE THOSE WHO HAVE DECIDED TO BE PROSECUTOR, JURY, JUDGE & HANGMEN, MAKING ANY FALSE STATEMENTS ABOUT ME. IF ANYONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THESE SLANDEROUS STATEMENTS, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME AT "[email protected]". I WILL RESPOND TO ALL QUESTIONS AS ALLOWED BY MY LAWYER(S).
I APOLOGIZE TO ALL WHOM I HAVE FAILED TO MEET THEIR EXPECTATIONS.
IT HAS BEEN A MAGNIFICENT EXPERIENCE IN TARNOW. I AM OFTEN ASKED TO WRITE A BOOK ABOUT THESE EXPERIENCES & I WILL CONSIDER THIS AS TIME ALLOWS & AS WOUNDS HEAL.
SHALOM TO ALL. GERALD (GERRY) VINEBERG
