Totally Unauthorized

Buthina Rashid, Noah's Pleasant Hill General Manager

Noah’s Bagels was founded by Noah Alper, a very conservative Jew who lives in Berkeley.  While he owned the chain, it closed during Passover when observant Jews don’t eat baked goods.

The young woman above is the general manager of the store in Pleasant Hill.

Not that it was ever necessary to be a Jew to work for Noah’s, of course.  I just like to see people doing jobs you wouldn’t even think they would apply for, jobs that break the normal mindset of what is appropriate or fitting or possible.

Good for her, good for Noahs.
