JEWISH LIFE IN POLAND TODAY

Kosher Food in Poland

In Poland today, keeping kosher is not easy, since there are few Orthodox Jews in the country today. There is only a limited market for kosher foods, as well as a lack of specialists in ritual slaughter.

The Union of Jewish Communities in Poland organizes kosher food for its members. Every few weeks, with the help of specialists brought from abroad, from Budapest for example, animals are ritually slaughtered for local needs. The meat prepared in this way is not sufficient, however, for the groups who may be visiting Poland.

As a result, most of the groups of foreign tourists who come to visit Poland from abroad bring kosher foodstuffs with them, and some explain to hotels' restaurant staff beforehand the rules governing the use of the kitchen. This is particularly suitable when larger groups are involved.

In Warsaw there is one shop that sells kosher foods. It is located in the lower level of the Jewish Community building adjacent to the Nozyk synagogue at 6 Twarda Street.

"Aviv", a new kosher restaurant, has opened in Warsaw at the Jewish
Community's building (ul. Twarda 6). One can also arrange to have it deliver

There are a number of restaurants serving traditional Jewish food in Poland, although they do not serve strictly kosher food. Such restaurants can be found in all larger cities, such as in Krakow's Kazimierz district, in Warsaw, and in Lublin.

On LOT Polish airlines flights, it is possible to special-order kosher meals before take-off.
