kosher butchers
Jewish meat preparers
Kosher butchers are practitioners of Jewish dietary law who slaughter and prepare meat according to kashrut requirements.
The work involves ritual slaughter (shechita), inspection for defects, removal of forbidden fats and blood vessels, and salting to draw out blood.
The kosher butcher on Essex Street has been serving the neighborhood for three generations.
