Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon sent a letter to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon explaining that while there are many UN employees and diplomats from around the world who observe kosher dietary restrictions, kosher food is not available in any of the cafeterias or restaurants in UN headquarters in New York.
“For many Jews around the world, eating kosher food is a fundamental aspect of religious practice,” wrote Danon, adding, “We believe that all citizens of the world should feel welcome in the UN.”
