In light of a growing shortage of kosher meat among European Jewish communities primarily due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Hungarian Jewish community announced on Thursday that it will begin supplying tens of thousands of packages with poultry to many Jewish communities across the continent, including in France, England, Germany and Austria.
The shortage is due to the closure of many kosher slaughterhouses, as well as the outlawing of shechita (kosher ritual slaughtering) in certain parts of Europe.
