Title
'The Kosher Meat War' and the Foundation of the Montreal Jewish Community Council, 1922–1925 / "מלחמת הבשר הכשר" והקמת ועד העיר של מונטריאול, 1922–1925
Abstract
The consumption of kosher meat was an important factor in the communal life of Eastern European Jewish immigrants in North America. Providing kosher meat to Jews became a major industry, and supervision of kosher meat provided Orthodox rabbis with a livelihood as well as a basis of their communal power. In Montreal in the early 1920s, a Jewish Communal Council was set up to regulate the city’s kosher meat industry. However, a rivalry between two rabbis, Hirsch Cohen and Yudel Rosenberg, caused a “kosher meat war” that lasted from 1922 to 1925 and nearly caused the demise of the Jewish Community Council.
