The closure of the main kosher deli in Leeds has been described as “a tremendous blow” to the community.

When taking over Moortown Deli in 2016, Leon Davidson said he wanted to attract locals who bought their kosher supplies from supermarkets, or from Manchester outlets.

Despite keeping prices in line with kosher stores in London and Manchester, the deli has struggled for a while.

The JC understands that a plan to revitalise the business foundered when a major backer withdrew support.
