Mission Not Impossible: The Kosher Jew in a Non-Kosher Milieu
It is well-known that when Robert A. Heinlein entitled his most famous novel, “Stranger in a Strange Land,” he adopted a phrase from the book of Exodus. Very often, the kosher consumer feels like a stranger in a strange land.

The purpose of this presentation is to offer some points of guidance to those faced with such challenges.
