Bozeman Rabbi Starts Kosher Certification Agency
MONTANA [AP] — An orthodox rabbi from Bozeman is starting Montana’s first kosher certification agency as part of his drive to bolster Judaism in the Big Sky State, where fewer Jews live than almost anywhere else in the country.
Rabbi Chaim Bruk said his first client, a Gallatin County grain plant, could be certified as kosher sometime next month.
Among observant Jews, kosher law defines what foods are fit for consumption and how they must be prepared.
Bruk moved to Montana in 2007 to conduct outreach for the orthodox Chabad Lubavitch movement of Judaism. He says he already has helped certify seven businesses as kosher through out-of-state agencies.
With the new Montana agency, Bruk says businesses will have a local contact if they want to start selling kosher products.
Innovation on Shlichus
And now Chabad of Montana doesn’t need to worry about fund-raising for it’s rabbi’s salary. Genius idea!
