Isaac Henrion pulled out of a food festival in Durham , North Carolina , after facing criticism over his cooperation with the festival organizer, a Jewish group that supports Israel .

The bagel brouhaha transformed into an exemplar of teshuvah, the Jewish ideal of repentance, according to local Jewish leaders.

Isaac ’s Bagels owner Isaac Henrion apologized for his decision to pull out of the Jewish Food Festival .

He said the event was widely interpreted as taking a company political position, which he did not intend.

Isaac 's bagels owner was getting advice from a local Jewish leader, a physician and past president of Jewish federation.

Henrion is not Jewish , but both of his grandfathers were Jews who fled persecution in mainland Europe for England .

He says dropping out of the festival was bigoted, as much as it distressed him to accept it.

The festival was sold out, with no tickets available at the door.

But he was in attendance anyway, as Goldstein 's guest, and invited attendees to speak with him.
