New book by Professor David Fraser - Anti-Shechita Prosecutions in the Anglo-American World

Professor David Fraser chronicles in his new book Anti-Shechita Prosecutions in the Anglo-American World, 1855-1913: "A major attack on Jewish freedoms" attempts to criminalize the Jewish method of slaughtering animals for food, uncovering a long history of antisemitic motifs beneath claims that the prosecutions were brought in the name of "humanity".
