Ontario Rejects Nursing Home Fee for Kosher Meals TORONTO (JTA) — The Ontario Health Ministry has denied a request by a Toronto nursing home for permission to raise its fees to offset rising costs of kosher food service. Health Ministry officials told the Lincoln Place Nursing Home it could not add an ex- tra daily charge against the home's Jewish residents. Management of the 260-bed private nursing home declared it might have to discontinue kosher meal service without the increase. However, Allan Grossman, a Jewish Cabinet minister, who intervened on behalf of the. Jewish community, said it was agreed that the Jew- ish community should un- dertake responsibility for the problem.
