With tens of thousands of mispallalim about to head to Uman for Rosh Hashanah, some may wonder about the kashrus in the giant Hachnosas Orchim operation that feeds tens of thousands of people over Rosh Hashanah.

Assuming responsibility for the kashrus is A Beis Din HaGaon HaRav Mordechai Gross Shlita. Rabbi Avraham Shlezinger is the supervisor. All foods served as reportedly “mehadrin min hamehadrin”.

1. All meats and poultry are under the kashrus of the Nirbater Av Beis Din, HaGaon HaTzaddik Rav Aharon Teitelbaum Shlita of New York. A special team was sent to oversee the operation and all the meats are suitable for those following the Beis Yosef.

2. Fish were inspected to ensure there is no infestation and the fish heads were subjected to a special cleaning process including pressurized wash. Regarding herring, they too were rigorously cleaned to remove fears of infestation including anisakis worms.

3. All legumes have been inspected as requested and include hechsherim accepted by the Yiras Hashem community and approved after inspection which following the checking and cleaning process.

4. Other packaged items, those which are not Badatz Eida Chareidis, are from hechsherim relied upon by the frum tzibur. Everything is checked prior to packaging.

5. Salads made from fresh vegetables are clean and have undergone necessary washing/cleaning in advance.

6. Cooking is done to accommodate the stringencies of the Beis Yosef in all aspects.

7. Mashgichim are present during all aspects of food preparations.

Mashgichim will be present around-the-clock from 24 Elul until motzei Shabbos including the Mo”tz Shlita and others will make periodic inspections, yotzei v’nichnas.
