Yiddish term or phrase: koszernik
I am hoping that someone here is as familiar with Polish as with Yiddish. In Poland, there was a profession of "koszernik" (with the root word "kosher," of course). We are having a discussion about its meaning, ranging from a kosher butcher = shochet to mohel to mashgiach. There are scant sources regarding its meaning. Your help with this question will be greatly appreciated.
