Merkos Shlichus in Poland Day 9

By Avi Gniwisch and Dudi Nussbaum

Gdansk.

The day started out a little shaky. We had a meeting at 11, but we didn’t realize the meeting was an hour and a half away, so we were already delayed. We had arranged for a translator to come with us to our meeting with us. He was an 18 year old boy, who wasn’t Jewish. When his grandmother moved to Gdansk, there were Germans, and Jews.

Sarah Cohen - Kosher Today

NEW YORK, NY — Prices for kosher meats and poultry are on average 15% higher than they were just before the raid on the Agriprocessors plant on May 12th. While there are still retailers that say that their prices have not risen, they are by far in the minority. The retailers point out that even non-kosher meat and poultry products have gone up by as much as 5%, but nowhere near the increases in the kosher market.
