Muslims and Jews join in Congress to press US government for kosher and halal food relief

Reps. Ted Deutch and Ilhan Omar take a break from fighting over Israel to press for the initiative at the behest of a Muslim-Jewish coalition.

Their districts, in New York and Los Angeles, have substantial Jewish populations and both are close to the pro-Israel community.

The $180 million is part of a $2.3 trillion plan for next year that includes the $900 billion coronavirus stimulus set to be finalized by Tuesday.
