| Strictly kosher
NEWTON -- For years it was a fact of life, but to Newton's observant Jews it always seemed so, well, not kosher. If you wanted to have a pastrami sandwich while still observing the Jewish dietary laws, you had to leave one of the great centers of Jewish life in Greater Boston and schlep next door to Brookline. Until earlier this month, that is, when a 49-year-old Sephardic Jew from Uruguay opened what may be the region's only kosher strip of stores. Ricardo Bosich moved his Gordon & Alperin kosher butchery across Commonwealth Avenue in Newton Centre into a strip of stores that includes the Bodavi Bakers shop, which is run by his wife, Susan Davis. Bosich, who describes himself as a butcher by trade but a chef at heart, expanded his business into a full-service kosher food center that includes the butcher shop and a grocery store under the Gordon & Alperin name, a catering operation, and a new restaurant, the Avenue Deli.

Webster Will Shut Home Mortgage Unit, Take Charge (Update1)
April 5 (Bloomberg) -- Webster Financial Corp., the holding company for Webster Bank in Connecticut, said it's closing Peoples Mortgage Co. and taking a $2.3 million pretax charge to first-quarter earnings. Webster decided to shut the unit's remaining operations after announcing the sale of three Peoples' branch offices on March 30 to Baltimore-based First Mariner Bank, the company said today in a statement distributed by PR Newswire. Peoples' ``operations no longer fit Webster's core business model,'' the Waterbury-based company said, adding that the charge will cover severance and lease terminations. At least 40 mortgage companies have sought buyers or closed in the past year as defaults on home loans rose and demand fell amid slower housing sales.
