Posted in: Ask The Expert: Why does kosher meat cost so much?

Chaim's remarks are spot on. Further, "Jewish law also requires that kosher meat be soaked in water for half an hour, salted, and then washed thoroughly three times. In non-kosher meat plants where these extra steps aren't taken," The salting and soaking presents a small fraction of processing costs and when done in a factory setting, with supervised mechanical devices, those added costs minuscule.

It might be noted that the United Synagogue in England has recently published a Siddur featuring a commentary and translation by the chief rabbi of England, Sir Jonathan Sacks. It is pleasurable to use and except for the prayer for the Royal family, I beleie no American would object to its use. Personally, I do find the "Birnbaum" a clear and cogent siddur. Haveing said all of the above, a Bnei Akiva shaliach here in New Zeaand pointed out that none of the above mentioned siddurim contain some of the prayers that are said in an orthdox Israeli minyan. This is where the Koren Siddur would shine. N Kabak Wellington, NZ
