Parents of students at one Ra'anana high school are furious that the youngsters were unable to obtain kosher food during their recent week-long visit to Poland, reports www.local.co.il. The parents said it was "outrageous" that kosher food could not be supplied during a trip costing more than NIS 7,000 per student, and were angered that students who complained about being served non-kosher meat during the trip were told to eat the accompanying vegetables. According to the report, 127 11th-grade students from Ra'anana's Aviv high school - a secular state school - went on the annual students' visit to Poland last month. After their return, some parents complained that they had not been informed in advance that the food served during the trip would not be kosher, and they had assumed it would be. "It is not possible that they take such a large sum, more than NIS 7,000 per student, and they cannot supply kosher food. It is simply outrageous," one mother said. A municipal spokesman said that out of the 127 students, five had requested kosher food in advance, and this had been prepared in Israel and supplied to them for the entire trip. The spokesman said no complaints had reached the school by other parents about a lack of kosher food. Source
