The OK Kosher Certification held its annual Mashgiach Conference at the Jewish Children’s Museum in Brooklyn, NY, on Sunday with 150 OK personnel and mashgichim in attendance, including many from around the world.
At the conference, the OK honored two outstanding mashgichim – Rabbi Yonah Goldberg and Rabbi Levi Krinsky. The two Lubavitchers were chosen for their dedication to upholding the rigorous kashrus standards set forth by the OK and their efforts to forge relationships with personnel in the companies they visit.
The OK also recognized Rabbi Favish Moster, who was chosen by Kosherfest organizers as the Mashgiach of the Year from a pool of all of the mashgichim from all the different hechsherim.
Rabbi Don Yoel Levy, Kashrus Administrator, opened the conference with words of Torah and chizuk on the essential role of the mashgiach. Rabbi Krinsky spoke about engaging and developing a relationship with company personnel and Rabbi Eli Lando continued that theme with his closing talk.
The conference featured a lavish buffet brunch and round table discussion led by Headquarters staff, allowing the rabbis discuss topics directly related to their area of work or personal interest and to interact with each other and personnel.
Rabbi Chaim Fogelman, organizer of the conference, stated, “Our goal is to do kashrus without any compromise whatsoever. One of the best ways to accomplish this goal is bringing the mashgichim and office personnel together face to face.”
Mazel Tov to Rabbi Moster for Mashgiach of the year 2013
So happy for you. Keep up the great work you do in Minnesota.
There is NO such thing as Cholov Stam.
It looks like levi teitelbaum photo!
Rabbi lando we miss your other half u look great keep it uo
the certify products that are Chalav Stam becuase the rebbe told rabbi Berel levy to continue certifing them (when he took over the hachsher in the 1960s)
Why does OK have to certify products that are Chalav Stam and Pas Akum? Leave that to non-Chabad Hashgachos IMHO…
so happy to have Rabbi Goldberg in our community

Mazel Tov rabbi Goldberg!!
Most devoted shliach!
