Deli 613
Deli 613 is a kosher deli in Rathmines, Dublin, Ireland. It is located in the Chabad house building of the Chabad-Lubavitch of Ireland, which operates the deli. Opened in 2023, it is believed to be the first kosher eatery in Ireland since the 1960s. Background The small Jewish community in Ireland traditionally relied on suppliers in the United Kingdom for kosher products.

The owners, Rifka and Zalman Lent, emissaries of the Chabad Lubavitch movement in Dublin, envisioned the deli as a partial solution to the kosher food shortage in Ireland.

Bagel
A bagel (; ; also spelled beigel) is a bread roll originating in the Jewish communities of Poland. Bagels are traditionally made from yeasted wheat dough that is shaped by hand into a torus or ring, briefly boiled in water, and then baked.

The basic roll-with-a-hole design, hundreds of years old, allows even cooking and baking of the dough; it also allows groups of bagels to be gathered on a string or dowel for handling, transportation, and retail display. The earliest known mention of a boiled-then-baked ring-shaped bread can be found in a 13th-century Syrian cookbook, where they are referred to as .
