Rabbi Baruch Meir Clein A kosher certifying rabbi wears many hats. He is an important link in the food chain, accessible to suppiers, producers, distributors, and the public. He serves as a reliable information source. The level of trust between a certifying rabbi and his clients and their consuming public, ultimately defines the worth of his kosher certification. The rabbi, himself, must follow the Jewish traditions without concern for personal preferences or outside pressures. Certification provides an attractive business opportunity for you. We are staffed to provide a wide range of sevices including: kosher formulation, inspection and certification, as well as kosher marketing experience, internationally.
Sincerely,
Rabbi Baruch Meir Clein
