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.

4th day Chol Hamoed Sukkot
October 7, 2009
It appears from the emails I am receiving that a previous posting listing the establishments under the supervision of Badatz R’ Rubin was not found by many readers, perhaps due to its inclusion in another posting.
As such, I am reposting the English list, and providing a link to the original Hebrew document, which was posted earlier. (more…)

Store sign over side service window
Kudos to Badatz Beit Yosef. The certifying agency came through on Chol Hamoed, and there is a now a valid mehadrin certificate at the 40 Jaffa Street Jerusalem branch.

1. Teller Bakery - Jerusalem
I continue to receive a growing number of requests from readers regarding Teller Bakery on Agrippas Street, in Jerusalem, near Machane Yehuda, AKA “The Shuk”.
The bakery and its satellite sales store in the shuk are under the Jerusalem Rabbinate Mehadrin. I spoke with Rabbi Chaim Gamliel, the over-see-er of the store’s mashgiach, Rabbi Yaakov Lublin, and I was informed the mashgiach “lives nearby” and therefore, his visitations are facilitated by geographical realities.
