Utah's only kosher food truck targeted by repeat theft
August 13, 2025
Yalla Kosher, the only kosher food truck in Utah, has faced repeated theft in Salt Lake City. Owner Rabbi Avremi Zippel said that the power supply has been stolen on two occasions, according to a report by KSL TV.
In the first incident, two individuals stole the copper wire from the truck. Following this incident, Zippel had the power source nailed to the concrete. In the second incident, an individual unscrewed the mechanisms put in place to protect the power source and then walked up to the front door of the synagogue and relieved himself right outside of the building.
Zippel said he has reported these incidents to law enforcement and will not be intimidated.
"My team on the ground moved heaven and earth to be able to open and function today," Zippel said. "We're definitely not going to be intimidated by what seems to be evolving as a pattern of behavior. And we hope that law enforcement can do their bit to make sure that this sort of stuff is curtailed and we'll keep on doing ours."
