Moscow’s Jews will soon be able to eat at a kosher restaurant, to be opened shortly under the direction of one of Israel’s leading chefs.
Moroccan-born Shalom Kadosh, who is the executive chef of the Jerusalem Sheraton Plaza Hotel, said the restaurant would specialize in the type of French kosher food of which he is an expert, but that he would also serve traditional East European dishes and specialties.
Financed by American Jews concerned about the absence of a kosher restaurant in Moscow, the restaurant will not be profit-oriented.
Although Kadosh expressed optimism on the opening of the eatery, he could not say exactly when it would open.
