'''Deli 613''' is a [kosher deli](/source/kosher_deli) in [Rathmines](/source/Rathmines), Dublin, Ireland. It is located in the [Chabad house](/source/Chabad_house) building of the [Chabad-Lubavitch](/source/Chabad-Lubavitch) of [Ireland](/source/Republic_of_Ireland), which operates the deli. Opened in 2023, it is believed to be the first fully [kosher](/source/kosher) eatery in Ireland since the 1960s.
==Background==
The small [Jewish community in Ireland](/source/History_of_the_Jews_in_Ireland) traditionally relied on suppliers in the [United Kingdom](/source/United_Kingdom) for kosher products. Following the [United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union](/source/Brexit), there was a shortage of [kosher food](/source/Kosher_foods) in Ireland due to additional regulatory requirements and checks.[{{cite news |last1=Judah |first1=Jacob |title=Ireland's first kosher restaurant in decades attracts local Jews and non-Jewish celebrities |url=https://www.jta.org/2023/09/06/global/irelands-first-kosher-restaurant-in-decades-attracts-local-jews-and-non-jewish-celebrities |access-date=6 September 2023 |work=[Jewish Telegraphic Agency](/source/Jewish_Telegraphic_Agency) |date=2023-09-06 |archive-date=2023-09-06 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230906153605/https://www.jta.org/2023/09/06/global/irelands-first-kosher-restaurant-in-decades-attracts-local-jews-and-non-jewish-celebrities |url-status=live}}]
The owners, Rifka and Zalman Lent, [emissaries](/source/Chabad) of the Chabad Lubavitch movement in Dublin, envisioned the deli as a partial solution to the kosher food shortage in Ireland. The 613 in the deli's name references the ''[613 mitzvot](/source/613_commandments)'' (commandments) in the [Torah](/source/Torah).[{{cite news |last1=Hardgrave |first1=Corinna |title=Deli 613 review: Dublin has a brand new Jewish deli serving NY-style salt beef sandwiches |url=https://www.irishtimes.com/food/2023/05/12/takeaway-review-dublin-has-a-brand-new-jewish-deli-serving-great-food/ |access-date=6 September 2023 |work=[Irish Times](/source/Irish_Times) |date=2023-05-12 |archive-date=2023-09-05 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230905095329/https://www.irishtimes.com/food/2023/05/12/takeaway-review-dublin-has-a-brand-new-jewish-deli-serving-great-food/ |url-status=live}}] attached to the Chabad house in the southern part of Dublin in March 2023.
