STAR-K Kosher Certification recently held its first Winter Kashrus Training Program for a group of mashgichim from New York. The participants, who live in Boro Park, traveled to attend the seminar in Baltimore on three consecutive Sundays, January-February. The program was the brainchild of Mr. Meir Rand, a Chasidishe mashgiach who has worked in various kitchen venues in Boro Park. Realizing the lack of Chasidishe mashgiach training, he approached STAR-K Kashrus Administrator Rabbi Zvi Holland with his well-accepted idea of a training program.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was very, very happy with the program; I learned such new chidushim and how to deal with people in Kashrus work,\u201d says Mr. Rand. \u201cI have no words. It was mamash amazing\u2013meyradik!<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Chasidishe community doesn\u2019t yet have such a training program for their mashgichim,\u201d continues Mr. Rand. \u201cWe have no mesuderdik system for training them and we found out that STAR-K has the best training system for mashgichim. We saw HaRav Heinemann and how he deals with all shaylos with such a klehrkite and how he is behind everything and knows everything that is going on in his organization, all over the world. I realized that we need such a thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another participant, in food service hashgacha, who preferred anonymity, concurred with Mr. Rand. \u201cEveryone enjoyed it and we can\u2019t stop talking about it. Every section was a world in itself, and everything was organized and given over step-by-step. Everyone was shocked to see bugs on the fruits and vegetables, after we learned how to check properly\u2026.You have to have someone experienced to teach you how to look for bugs.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Sunday, January 19, STAR-K veteran Kashrus Administrator, Rabbi Mayer Kurcfeld, opened the program with, \u201cAll about Foodservice\u201d. After a buffet lunch, STAR-K Kashrus Administrator, Rabbi Sholom Tendler, continued with a discussion on bugs, Bishul Yisroel, basar shenisalem, and simanim.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, January 26, STAR-K President Avrom Pollak, presented, \u201cA Certifying Agency\u2019s Administrative Issues\u201d, followed by STAR-K Kashrus Administrator, Rabbi Dovid Heber\u2019s sessions: \u201cOn the Home Front\u2014Being a Local Mashgiach for a National Agency\u201d and \u201cPesach Issues Too Important to Pass Over\u201d. After lunch was served, STAR-K Kashrus Administrator, Rabbi Avrohom Mushell, spoke on, \u201cIt\u2019s a Matter of Chemistry\u201d. The rest of the afternoon was spent touring Seven Mile Market, the largest kosher supermarket in the U.S., and participating in a hands-on bedikas tolaim training practicum, with Rabbi Tendler.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, February 2, STAR-K Kashrus Administrator, Rabbi Baruch Beyer, led the session, \u201cCoffees, Sodas, and Slurpees \u2013 The Beverage Industry\u201d; STAR-K Kashrus Administrator, Rabbi Eliyahu Shuman, spoke about, \u201cKashrus of Fish\u201d; and STAR-K Kashrus Administrator, Rabbi Tzvi Rosen, instructed the group about, \u201cAlcoholic Kashrus\u201d. After lunch, STAR-K Kashrus Administrator, Rabbi Moshe Schuchman, lectured on, \u201cIndustrial Kashrus: A Case Study Primer\u201d, and STAR-K Kashrus Administrator, Rabbi Zvi Holland, addressed, \u201cThe Kashrus of Meat\u201d. The culmination of the three-part program was a Q & A session with STAR-K Rabbinic Administrator HaRav Moshe Heinemann.<\/p>\n

Moshe Levy, a chef who worked in catering hashgacha, summed up his STAR-K training program experience: \u201cI never heard such a lecture like this. Nobody ever taught me those things. I really gained a lot. STAR-K is the best hechsher because they know what they\u2019re doing and they are straight.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSTAR-K is always pleased to assist mashgichim in furthering their education even when they are working for other hechsherim,\u201d noted Rabbi Holland. \u201cThis group showed tremendous mesirus nefesh traveling to Baltimore numerous times from New York to benefit from this program.\u201d<\/p>\n
