Chasiddish Community In Philadelphia?

New Chasiddish Community In Philadelphia?

Philadelphia - The Hasidic rabbi Solomon Isaacson roams the halls of power brokers - his black suit, white shirt and broad-brimmed black hat - never changes, and the only food he offers them is challah, a bread delivered in person and free to the offices of most elected officials in City Hall, usually every week, he delivers 600 challahs a week. And he is widely perceived as a man of political influence.
And like any insider, Isaacson wants something for the client he sees as his, the Jewish people.
His latest pursuit: a large swath of land in Northeast Philadelphia for new townhouses and single-family homes so that hundreds of Chasidic Jewish families can relocate here from the saturated streets of Brooklyn.
