Russian Rabbis Certify Foods as Kosher – and Halal

Such cooperation could happen only in Russia: At a food expo currently taking place in Moscow, Muslim businessmen are marketing products certified as Halal, for which they are relying entirely on the kosher certification of RK, headed by Russia’s Chief Rabbi Berel Lazar.

RK Administrator Rabbi Yosef Varzov said their exhibition at the expo presents hundreds of different products from factories across Russia that are under the supervision of Russia’s Chief Rabbinate.
