It’s a compromise worthy of King Solomon.
If a Rockland County rabbi can produce the paperwork showing his school-bus oven is safe, then officials won’t force him to move the matzo-mobile until after Passover.
But the clock is ticking on Aaron Winternitz, who for three years has baked maztos in a converted school bus behind his Spring Valley home. Passover begins Monday at sundown.
Village officials put the brakes on Winternitz’s bus bakery after neighbors complained of the smoke.
Buildings inspector Manny Carmona also said the bus was too close to the rabbi’s home. But Carmona said he would allow Winternitz to move the bus farther away at a later time if he can provide written safety assurances from an engineer.
