MONTHLY PUBLICATION EDUCATES KASHRUS PROFESSIONALS AND CONSUMERS AROUND THE WORLD
New York, NY, NOV XX, 2017 – It began as an initiative in 1992 by Rabbi Menachem Genack, CEO of the Orthodox Union Kosher Division. Today the OU’s Daf HaKashrus has become one of the most authoritative and respected monthly publications addressing issues of kashrus for professionals and consumers alike. Now in its 25th year, Daf HaKashrus has reached a milestone with the publication of its 250th Silver edition, and continues to be an essential vehicle for communicating up-to-date information about kashrus in these ever-changing times.
The special expanded 250th issue contains many articles from gifted writers and kashrus experts who are current or former Orthodox Union employees. It offers insightful and educational contributions from the publication’s archives as well as current topics, all highlighting and addressing important issues on halachic (Kosher law) and technical information. Daf HaKashrus is published by the Orthodox Union and edited by Rabbi Yosef Grossman, whom Rabbi Genack has referred to as the ‘Father of the Daf.’
In Rabbi Genack’s words of introduction to the Daf HaShana, the yearly compilation of the Daf, he writes, “The Daf has served as our essential vehicle of communicating kashruth information and elucidating important current issues. The proper flow of information is at the core of a successful kashruth organization. The Daf has helped to integrate all of us who work for the OU into a unified organization, with a dedication to high standards through the dissemination of important halachic and technical information.”
Rabbi Yosef Wikler, Editor of the highly acclaimed Kashrus Magazine extended yeyasher kochachem to Rabbi Grossman and staff. “A tremendous achievement – a great issue. May Hashem grant you the strength to continue to educate kashrus professionals and kosher consumers for many years to come. The quality, depth, and honesty of Daf HaKashrus is unequaled (even in Kashrus Magazine).”
Daf HaKashrus is distributed to the OU’s kashrus staff throughout the world as well as to thousands of Rabbanim, Dayanim, Poskim, and educated kashrus consumers around the globe. Daf HaShana is available in single-year copies as well as 5-year editions containing 5 years’ worth of the Daf HaKashrus. They are available in hardcopy and by eDaf, free of charge.
