Do away with it completely, I makes you more ill, just the smell can kill, and maybe this can bring down hospital prices by a couple of million

How sad that a Jewish hospital in a Jewish country, the bill for kosher food will only pass if the majority of patients are Jewish. Sick! Isn't Israel ashamed of themselves?

not serve Kosher food! What's the real story here? What is this about? Does Zevulun Orlev want Augusta Victoria and Mukasad to go Kosher? Both of these hospitals are in East Jerusalem the same East Jerusalem that MK Orlev and his friends are trying to take over!

Hospital food is so awful that most people have family bring food from home or from a restaurant. I remember the trauma of hospital meatballs.. Ouch!

More than likely the real reason is for the Rabinute to extend its money grabbing empire and make a buck or two off hospitals. And what if a secualr patient dosent want " a kosher meal" will they be force fed? if a patient wants food from home thats their choce. Seperate religion and state !

It might be more cost-effective, depending on how many of the patients actually are kosher, to provide kosher meals for those who require them, much the same way the airlines do, rather than having to turn the entire hospital into a "No Treif Zone" but it might also depend on the demographics of the neighborhood the particular hospital serves.

It'd be better to make sure that all the Kosher meat is really meeting the standards first.

Disgraceful that the only opposer of the resolution is a Jew

When did you last bring a ham sandwich on to an El Al flight?

foods allowed in the Torah. It is a way to get people well faster to reduce hospital expenses on admissions. Imagine going to a hospital and being given pork that is full of toxins since pigs don't sweat. That is the fate of most patients in most hospitals, so Israelis should be thankful for a government that still thinks Jewish instead of Gentile.

I have just been released form Hadassah Hospital after a stay of three weeks.Had it not been for the swarma joint at the Canion or the food brought by my family I would rather starve than partake in the mess that they call kosher food.It smelt bad ,had no taste,looked as if served from the floor,and had no nourishment according to those who had no option but to eat KOSHER JUNK(sometimes called food)

ensuring that the sick in the periphery get decent medical attention without traveling for hours. Our MK's would be better off demanding money for MRI and other state of the art equipment to be installed in hospitals in Naharia and Zefat! If the hospital is Government funded, indeed the food should be kosher and I am not religious and against religious coercion. If it is private, don't interfere!

I don't understand the need for this bill. I belive all public institutions serve kosher food. Is this more political muscle flexing?

Kosher food is already in the Patients Bill of Rights. For years. I think it's a matter of muscle stretching, the way the fundamentalist Jews fixed it so there are no deposits on 1.5 liter bottles because it "hurts the poor."
