Kosher Crisis Hits $19 Billion Market With Rabbis Stuck at Home September 16, 2020 from the Bloomberg Businessweek "In an ordinary year, Rabbi David Moskowitz would have spent the weeks before Rosh Hashanah, the holiday that celebrates the start of the Jewish New Year, working in China. For more than a decade, the native of New York’s Rockland County has run Shatz Kosher Services, which verifies that ingredients made in Chinese factories don’t contain pork or otherwise violate Jewish dietary laws. Late summer is usually a busy season, with companies gearing up to make products for Passover the following spring." "Rosh Hashanah starts on Sept. 18, but Moskowitz hasn’t been to China in months. The Chinese government closed its borders to most foreigners early in the Covid-19 pandemic, and the 53-year-old is in Ashdod, an Israeli city about 20 miles south of Tel Aviv. From there, he tries to do his job via videoconferences linked to cameras at Chinese factories showing him everything from the office to the factory floor to the warehouse. “It’s not the traditional way, but what is traditional in corona?” he asks.

    Travelling Abroad Published on Kosher London Beth Din - KLBD (https://www.kosher.org.uk) Travelling Abroad KOSHER FOOD ON THE MOVE Welcome to our incredible shrinking world. Not only can we zip around speedily in planes, highspeed trains and automobiles, but wherever you go you are almost certain to bump into someone you know, or who knows your grandmother! The Jewish world is a very connected place and a very welcoming one. Every traveller has stories about walking into an overseas synagogue and being invited home for a meal (does this happen in London?), offered hospitality for the night, or even someone’s unmarried niece’s telephone number. KOSHER RESTAURANTS Kosher restaurants open up everywhere, and can sometimes even be found where the guidebook says they are. Websites are a boon here. Not only are they easily updated, but many incorporate review sections where travelling diners can be honest about the food and service they encountered there. Useful websites include: www.chabad.org/centers [1] www.jewisheurope.org [2] www.kosherinfrance.com [3] (kosher facilities in France) www.123cacher.com/index_en.php [4] (restaurants in France with reviews, English version) NB: The KLBD cannot endorse the kashrut of the establishments listed on these websites. Travellers should consult the local Rabbinate or kashrut authority for guidance on restaurants and hechsherim. See our list of Kashrut Contacts Worldwide below. BEFORE YOU TRAVEL 1) Check online for the nearest synagogue and Jewish communal organisations to your destination. 2) Pack food which will last without refrigeration until you reach your hotel room mini-bar (eg vacuum packed meat, cheese etc), and don’t forget your tin opener! 3) Ask the airline for kosher food in-flight (Eurostar also offers this service).
