"From shuttered #eateries to vanished #bagel glory to a “#SNL” #Hanukkah skit that never made it to the air, #2025 was a year of gains, losses and unexpected twists for #NewYork’s #Jewish community."

"It’s been a whirlwind of a year for #NewYorkCity, with major changes hurtling toward the #BigApple and altering Life As We Know It — from congestion pricing to a new mayor whose activism around #Israel has alarmed many #Jews and thrilled others.

For the city’s Jews, the changes have ranged from the lofty to the ludicrous. From a tacky #menorah sketch that never aired on “#SaturdayNightLive” to multiple #kosher institutions that failed to thrive in New York’s competitive #restaurant industry, here are 12 things that New York City lost — and in other ways, won — in 2025."

Make Church Street a Clean Air Zone
Low emissions zones are a very quick way to bring down pollution ( NO2 ,PM2.5) and avoid cognitive decline and cancers from combustion traffic.

"Higher emissions from industry and residential combustion, as well as biofuel, coal, and oil and natural gas combustion, were associated with worse language scores."

Environmentally sustainable plant-based dishes in restaurants and cafes?

"Occasionally ordering a plant-based meal instead of a meat dish can greatly reduce the environmental footprint of the global food system. Animal agriculture accounts for 56% of food-related greenhouse gas emissions but produces only 18% of calories and 37% of protein."

"This means a family of four ordering plant-based meat burgers instead of beef patties saves carbon emissions equal to driving from Brisbane to the Gold Coast."
