Portland Jewish Community Set to Welcome New Kosher Option

Portland, OR…

The Portland Jewish community is buzzing with excitement with the imminent launch of a new kosher meat cutting facility at the Albertsons supermarket in the Beaverton-Hillsdale area in time for Passover. The store, which is located in the Jewish neighborhood in the city, has a kosher deli and kosher bakery under the supervision of the local Vaad Hakashrus. According to Yakov M. Yarmove, Corporate Category Manager, Ethnic Marketing and Specialty Foods of SuperValu, “until now, that store has only carried pre-packed kosher meat and poultry.” Yarmove added: “This is very exciting, as it will be the only full-service ‘kosher butcher’ in the State of Oregon.” The addition of the kosher meat cutting facility will offer residents a huge Passover selection of both foods and wines. Jewish community leaders are particularly excited since Portland is a smaller Jewish community, where a true one-stop kosher store is integral to the Jewish community.
