Non-Orthodox Kosher

Non-Orthodox Kosher Agencies Site

Kashrus Magazine publishes an annual listing of all Orthodox kosher-certifying agencies. Because there is also a need to know which are the non-Orthodox agencies certifying food products and establishments as kosher,  A friend of  Kashrus Magazine   created the Non-Orthodox Kosher Agencies Site to list the Conservative and other non-Orthodox agencies doing kosher.

They will not appear in the Kosher Supervision Guide. You can go to our site to check whether a certain agency is non-Orthodox. The purpose of the site is not to promote these agencies, but simply to identify them. The address is https://sites.google.com/site/nonorthodoxkosher/

To update info on this site or to add your agency contact   

non [nospam] orthodox [nospam]  kosher (at)  gmail.com   

This site is for listing the non-Orthodox kosher certifications which exist: Conservative / Masorti, Reform, Traditional, Non-denominational, and post-denominational. 

Disclaimer in regard to Karate symbols listed:

Since Karaism defines Jewishness through patrilineal descent (and not through the mother) and has different standards for conversion, and also because they may not have kept the halachic laws of divorce properly, there exists serious concern whether the Karaites today are Jewish or not. In addition, they do not accept the oral tradition, the Talmud, the Shulchan Aruch, etc., and so, practically their "kosher" is not in any way comparable to Jewish kosher. Their symbols are being posted  only for recognition purposes.

This service is being provided by a friend & fan of Kashrus Magazine, the periodical for the Kosher Consumer. The 2019-2020 Edition of The Kosher Supervision Guide of Kashrus Magazine list 1,427 Orthodox kosher certifications. Complete with addresses, phone numbers, internet links and E-mail addresses. To order the Guide call Kashrus Magazine at 718-336-8544 Fax: 718-336-8550 or E-mail: kashrus@aol.com Web: www.kashrusmagazine.com https://hail.he.net/~kashrus/order_issue.php or write to Yeshiva Birkas Reuven/ The Kashrus Institute,  PO Box 204, Parkville Station, Brooklyn, NY 11204
