WHAT A CROCK OF BS and misinformation

When I moved to Israel some 10 years ago, it was virtually impossible to find shrimp, bacon or other seafood products. The only place to get a bacon cheeseburger was Wolfnight's.

Today, you can find lobster, shrimp, oysters, bacon and pork just about everywhere. Cheeseburgers are all over Tel Aviv.

You can see the forest through the trees. There is a move in Israel and in Tel Aviv, to move away from MEAT.. several restaurants have moved to vegetarian, having little to do with religion and kosher, but more to fit the eating style and cultural attitudes and tastes in Israel.

Most do not wish to be kosher but kosher style and do not want Kosher certificates..

Don't mix up religious beliefs with cultural desires and tastes.
6. Jews and swine?
Paul ,   Dartsmouth   (01.19.19)
What's the big deal?
7. Pitiful
David ,   New york   (01.20.19)
Imagine having so little regard for being Jewish that you absolutely MUST stuff your face with pork.
Even if you're not religious and keep nothing, doesn't it bother you a little to be pissing on your identity?
Sound like rootless, godless people to me
8. If it ain't kosher...
manic drummer ,   Haifa   (01.19.19)
...it ain't worth a fork!
9. Perhaps - but there are 600 plus Kosher restaurant in Tel Av
judah ,   jerusalem   (01.19.19)
and all the major hotels are Kosher, so it a mixed picture, I suppose there is no problem in finding whatever suits your religious beliefs and cultural practices
10. Israel becomes more Jewish every day
Mordechai   (01.20.19)
Israel is a Jewish state. No kosher restaurants don't have a future here. The question is when not if existing restaurants make the change. Wait too long and customers might decide not to trust you when you make the change
11. "Who moved my Bacon ? KEVIN ,perhaps ?
CAPTAIN SARCASTIC ,   SAFED CYNIC HOUSE   (01.20.19)
12. KEVIN MOVED YOUR BACON !

13. BS Almost impossible on Tel Aviv Haifa Coast to find
JewishHomeland?!! ,   Jerusalem Israel   (01.27.19)
Try to find a Kosher even a small Restaurant/Café after lunch when religious Jews who
work in those areas during the day leave for home along any of the main highway routes good luck Tel Aviv Haifa Jaffa .....don't make us laugh
A nation that doesn't respect its basic traditions like Kashrut and
Shabbat cant expect others to respect it as a legitimate nation with a special culture and reason to exist especially by our very proud Moslem neighbors of theirs. Worrying about Assimilation in the Diaspora when its rabid all over Israel what a joke..
" Pork Bacon Lobster Shrimp Cheeseburger ? no problem step right in don't forget were open on Shabbat and most Jewish holidays of course .and we're busy working to be able to open on Yom Kippur.. stay tuned " .
14. Sadly powerful $$$ forces at work to destroy us from within
TheEnemyWithin ,   Jerusalem Israel   (01.27.19)
The Jewish Homeland means nothing to them either but they
have power and money to promote assimilation total abandonment of Kashrut and of the Shabbat for shopping $$$$$ our tv screen are filled here in Israel with filth like Big Brother and other
"reality programs" major mainline tv "comedy "sketches that
have as their sole goal is to degrade and debase 2,000 years of
Jewish Civilization they are evil incarnate ...God help the Jewish nation
in the face of their corrupt power and $$$$$ traditional Jews cannot
match and defeat their $ power only faith and determination can
