Tzohar Gets Rabbinate Approval for Kashrut Certificates

The Chief Rabbinate's licensing authority approved Tzohar Food Supervision to operate as a kashrut-certifying body after a long High Court track over the 2021 kashrut reform framework. Ynet published the current report at 15:17 IDT, and Israel National News also said Tzohar may issue updated certificates that include the word kosher. Tzohar says its network has supervised hundreds of businesses since 2018 with halachic standards and public transparency. For religious Israelis and kosher-keeping families, the practical test is clear: more food businesses can seek recognized supervision, while the Chief Rabbinate remains the public regulator charged with guarding national kashrut standards.
