The OK Kosher Certification held its annual international Mashgiach Conference at Ulam Chana in Crown Heights on Monday, Rosh Chodesh Kislev (December 2).
Rabbis from across the globe gathered for a morning of chizuk and learning about developments in kashrus and the food industry.
The gathering was held as many of the participants were in New York for the International Kinus Hashluchim. Participants were gifted the newest sefer from Chassidus Mevueres.
Speakers included Rabbi Chaim Fogelman, Rabbi Shlomo Weinfeld and Rabbi Sholom Ber Hendel, members of the OK Executive Vaad HaKashrus, and its Executive Manager Rabbi Eli Lando.
Speaking were also Rabbi Avi Rapoport, Rabbinic Coordinator and Manager of the Israel affiliate office; Rabbi Etan Mayo of the Private Label Department; Rabbi Hendel Weingarten, a Field Representative; and Rabbi Sholom Kesselman, West Coast Food Service Coordinator and Director of Consumer Outreach.
Rabbi Chaim Yisroel Wilhelm of L’maan Yilmedu, spoke about the partnership with OK Kosher in teaching Hilchos Kashering and Kashrus. It concluded with a video highlighting the OK Winery Mashgiach Conference held in Israel.
The conference was immediately followed by a grand siyum Sefer Torah in memory of OK Kosher’s longtime head, Rabbi Don Yoel Levy OBM.
