Once again, JKN is working to bring readers a better understanding of kashrus standards provided by different agencies, in this case, the Efrat Religious Council, overseeing the religious service to this growing Gush Etzion community. The religious council is headed by Bob Lang, the administrative director, who masterfully heads the council towards accommodating the religious needs of the community in compliance with the decisions reached by the rabbis.

As I continue to probe, seeking to learn and pass information to
readers, I am increasingly pleased with the progress, but admittedly somewhat frustrated at the seemingly endless issues that must be presented to you, the subscribers, seeking to reach a true understanding of the ins and outs of kashrut in general, and in Israel in particular. (more…)
Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital Mall

October 20, 2009
I visited the mall at Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in the hope of reporting to you on eateries with legitimate mehadrin hechsherim.
Most disturbing is the fact that there is at least one store claiming “mehadrin” when in fact this is not the case. It has a regular Jerusalem Rabbinate hechsher but the store sign states “mehadrin”, once again showing you that you absolutely must check for a valid kashrut certificate before ordering food, anywhere!. The store sign is no substitute for a kashrut agency certificate. (more…)

Update on Eateries in Ramat Eshkol & Geula (Jerusalem)
Tuesday, October 13th, 2009Due to my own time limitations, making in-depth reports is a non-starter for the time being, I am trying to provide updates, information that I am able to gather during the course of my travels.
I have also receive a growing number of requests to report on Holy Bagel, and I have spoken with one of the owners, Ze’ev, and hope to make my way over to the factory in Talpiot (Jerusalem) to conduct an in-depth walk-through of their operation, meet with the mashgiach and owners, and pass the information onto you. Please, be patient, I am doing the best I can.
Today’s update provides information on a number of stores in Ramat Eshkol, in the Paran Street shopping center, as well as the new ice cream store located in the Gal Paz store on Malchei Yisrael Street in Geula. (more…)
Kikar Sivilya Restaurant - Old City, Jerusalem

Monday, October 12, 2009
I have received a number of requests regarding the kashrut certification appearing at the above mentioned restaurant, signed by Rav Shlomo Katzin, who is affiliated with the Sephardic Center in the Old City.
According to the Chief Rabbinate, the rav in question is not authorized to grant kashrut certification. An eatery is required to have a kashrut certification from the local religious council/rabbinate.
