Abstract

The article deals with a very important and hitherto undiscussed series of events, how (Jewish) Orthodoxy in Budapest helped the Jewish community (Yishuv) in Palestine, and later Israel, with meat supplies. The process, which began in 1948, presumably at the request of the Tel Aviv rabbinate, continued until the late 1950s. After 1957, the improvement of the economic situation (including the food situation) in Israel, the rise in the living standards of the population and the consolidation of relations made special kosher meat transport operation redundant. However,, kosher meat shipments from Budapest did not stop, but continued to arrive in Israel in the form of kosher meat exports until the break in diplomatic relations in 1967, followed by the breakdown of trade relations, at the Soviet initiative. The text also describes the historical, halachic, economic and diplomatic background to the event, providing explanation to this unique phenomenon.
