"#Kosher consumers in the #UnitedStates may have to rethink their #RoshHashana brisket after a fire devastated one of the country's largest #koshermeat processing plants. The fire has put more than 600 people out of work in a town of under 3,000 residents.
The fire on Tuesday that destroyed most of the #AgriStar #Meat and #Poultry processing plant in #Postville, #Iowa means that there will most likely be a shortage of kosher meat ahead of the #HighHolidays, and the meat and poultry that is available will be more expensive.
"The damaged facility means a significant portion of kosher #beef and #chicken slaughtered and sold in the #US will not enter the kosher supply chain. Kosher consumers will feel the impact of the tightening supply with reduction of availability," #Rabbi #MosheElefant, CEO of #OUKosher, which provides kosher certification for the plant, said in a statement."

"In 1901, #Milwaukee native #LizzieKander was teaching #kosher #cooking classes to #immigrants at the Milwaukee #Jewish Mission. The women copied down the #recipes and lessons. But to #Kander, this felt like wasted time.
Kander envisioned compiling the recipes and household tips into a pamphlet to sell to the broader community, and in the process, raise money for Milwaukee’s urban poor.
“#TheSettlementCookBook” would go on to become the most successful charitable #cookbook in #American history with 40 #editions and over two million copies sold.
#NoraRubel, a #professor in the #University of #Rochester’s Department of #Religion and #Classics, says “The Settlement #Cook #Book” became an integral part of Jewish American material culture.
She recently spoke to WPR’s “#Wisconsin Today” about her new book, “Recipes for the Melting Pot: The Lives of The Settlement Cook Book.”
The following #interview has been edited for clarity and brevity."

Wine Talk: Kosher in Bordeaux
I was recently invited to a Shabbat meal in Paris by Menachem Israelievitch, winemaker of Royal Wine Corp. He generously opened a bottle of Château Léoville Poyferré 2005. Looking at the label, it looks exactly like the regular wine. However, with your glasses on and looking closely at the capsule, you will discover that it [..…

Not typically a fan of Rabbi Ruttenberg, but this is an interesting, provocative thought-piece.
"Nobody would think twice about demanding a #reasonableaccommodation if #corporations asked #Jews to start violating #Shabbat or partaking of the #pork BBQ at the #company retreat against their own practice. And while I would not demand that every #Jew request such an #accommodation (for Shabbat or keeping #kosher), they should absolutely have that option available, even if their #religious practice is a work in progress. So too, here.
And despite seeing many people (including religious Jews!) eliding the moral and religious issues around #AI because "that train has already left the station," we should make choices based on whether they are right or wrong. Also, it's a fallacy: Movements grow from dissent."

I was looking for kosher wines that are not produced by a genocidal state on colonized land.
Search engine suggests this: https://www.decanter.com/features/kosher-wines-beyond-israel-247174/ 😱🤮
Does anyone have a better suggestion?

"This week, a single statistic stopped me cold. Requests for #kosher meals in #British #hospitals have reportedly halved in two years.
That number does not mean half of #BritishJews abandoned their faith. It means something far uglier. It means #Jews, at the precise moment they are ill, frightened, and dependent on strangers, now hesitate before ticking a box that says: I am #Jewish.
A #koshermeal in a #hospital should be boring, a footnote, one line on a dietary form swallowed up in the vast machinery of clinical care. Instead, it has become a test of nerve."

"When #AlanaSatsukiChandler was growing up their mother made #kosher #gyoza with tofu instead of pork and hybrid #okonomi-#latkes, a #Jewish riff on savoury #Japanese cabbage pancakes.
Their #Ashkenazi-Jewish father and Japanese mother created a home in #Chicago that fused cultures, with #food always a big part of that lifestyle.
But #Chandler rarely met other #Jews of colour and rarely saw their experience represented in Jewish environments.
Their desire to find and amplify the voices of Jews with diverse identities and underrepresented experiences was a key reason they created a new #cookbook dedicated to expanding the definition of #Jewishfood.
#Tlaim (#Hebrew for patchwork) is a collection of more than 80 #recipes and #stories from Jewish communities around the world, designed to celebrate the #ethnic and #racial #diversity of Jewish people, and to spotlight historically underrepresented Jewish identities."

"Last weekend, someone posted on #Facebook: “The people who run this organisation are called #ShimonCohen and #GavrielCohn (that’s me). I think it is important that in the future we arrange a demonstration against this evil organisation.”
They listed our office address and urged people to protest outside it.
Our offence? Defending the right of #Jews to eat #kosher #meat.
We are lobbyists. We represent clients to those in power. Whether advocating for electric vehicle chargers, a stadium extension or an amendment to a business bill, strong, detailed arguments usually find a hearing.
Yet when it comes to the practices of religious Jews, we often encounter something different."

"With income upwards of $150,000 a year before taxes, a family in the #UnitedStates should be able to live a comfortable #middleclass life. But for Rachel and her husband, a #religious #Jewish couple in #NewJersey with three children, it’s barely enough to scrape by — even after her parents step in to help.
“I’m a CPA, and I go through my expenses every single year,” Rachel (not her real name) told The Times of Israel. “I can’t make it work.”
It’s not because they live a lavish lifestyle or have an oversized house, Rachel said. It is simply the cost of living in a #ModernOrthodox Jewish community: school tuition, #kosher food, holidays, and community fees that seem to gobble up more and more of the family’s income every year."

"Kosher Toilet" 🤔

"#Returning, #NicholasLemann’s eloquent, achingly honest account of life within a tightly knit #German-#Jewish subculture whose collective response to #antisemitism was to fixate on fitting in with #gentiles. So axiomatic was the #NewOrleans community’s #assimilationism, and so profound its disdain for Eastern #European #Jews, that #Lemann never tasted lox until after he left home for college. And yet, well into adulthood, Lemann reevaluated, and rejected, the tradeoffs of his family forebears, in favor of a #kosher home, membership in a #minyan and #Shabbat observance.
Hence the #book’s title. Hence, too, its element of surprise: This deeply personal story is not what you might expect from Lemann, a practitioner of cool-headed “neoliberal” policy #journalism in its 1980s heyday, who went on to become a #NewYorker staff #writer, dean of the #Columbia #Journalism School and #author of four books on U.S. political and social #history."
