New York - OU Introduces Kashrust Website

The Kosher Division of the Orthodox Union has created a website geared towards professionals in the field, to provide insights into the increasingly complex and changing field of kashrut certification.

The new website utilizes the resources of the entire OU Kosher Division, including its 50 Rabbinic Coordinators, based at OU's New York headquarters, and its two poskim, or halachic (Jewish law) decision makers, as well as hundreds of OU Rabbinic Field Representatives all over the world.

"This website is a monumental achievement and a valuable resource,” declared Rabbi Menachem Genack, Chief Executive Officer of the OU Kosher Division. “The OU is the industry leader in the world of kashrus. We work with other kashrus agencies and local rabbinic councils to raise the standards of kashrus in America and throughout the world.
