The Kosher Meat War and the Jewish Community Council of Montreal, 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.
