The kosher Teaneck restaurants' new owners entered into a contract with the Rabbinical Council of Bergen County (RCBC), the RCBC said, urging the community to support local businesses.

Following Yehudiel's arrest, the RCBC announced it would be ending contracts with his restaurants.

The 40-year-old Surfside, FL chef criminally charged with two counts of aggravated sexual assault of a victim between 13 and 16 years old, sexual assault of a victim 16-17 and child endangerment remains free pending trial.

The RCBC told the Jewish Link that Yehudiel would have no affiliation or involvement with the restaurants.
