Abraham Kosher Meat

Team Shipley

This is one distribution branch of the largest producer and distributor of Kosher meat. Their meat is processed in the small village of Postville, Iowa and is sold under a variety of brand names in the US at Kosher markets and major grocery store chains, plus their meat is sold in Israel. They transport meat ready for sale to their own warehouses and direct to merchants in New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Texas, and California. The Rubashkin family, of NYC, owns and operates the businesses. The elder Mr. Abraham Aaron Rubashkin, is the patriarch of the family businesses. Mr. Rubashkin's adult children operate their businesses in Iowa and Florida. Mr. Rubashkin can be found in his own deli in Brooklyn, working and visiting with neighborhood people. I worked for one of his businesses in the early 2000s and had the pleasure of meeting him once in that very deli. He was kind and appreciative, saying that he thought I had a good head on my shoulders and was a hard worker. While his businesses were not without trouble legally, they were kept running with changes to legal administration, name, etc. and being reopened. Like many businesses, the legal troubles of their meat plant in Iowa were financially driven with poor management decisions regarding many plant and transportation supervisors and workers, but they did not harm their products. Kosher meat processing is still the most humane processing of live animals into meat for human consumption, and they follow that Kosher processing to the letter of Hasidic orthodox Jewish laws.
