How Important Is The Supervision Of A Rabbi For Kosher Catering?

Parlor meets, parties, and even tzedakah events have become common in backyards and private homes. With more Jews immigrating and settling in America, it has now become a common practice to adopt an open-door party for one and all, as well as arrange Jewish-friendly refreshments for those who need them. While the free mixing offers an excellent exchange of culture, it also means that as a guest, you have to be particular about maintaining the Kosher food laws. To maintain it right, you will need to go beyond buying Kosher-certified food ingredients.

 The Evolution -

 

Lately, a number of event and party organizers have been hiring Kosher Catering NJ to take no chance with Kosher standard quality and food safety. However, you can find a number of such services offering 'innovations,' such as sweet tables, sushi bars, carving stations, alcohol bars, burger bars, and many more items that are not conventionally Rabbi certified. In fact, while the food partners take care of every aspect of catering,  it often happens that they source their food ingredients from various unspecified sources.

 

The Problem -

 

Ag PA, you can leave the worry of supervising the kitchen. But then again, if the hired supervisors are untrained, unorganized, and even worse, haphazard, then there can be serious incidents of violating the Kosher dietary rules. Hence, to avoid such incidents, you should look for services that have the approval of a Rabbi. You should know that Jewish law prevents the blessing of making food. Hence, Rabbis supervise the preparation of Kosher delicacies to maintain its sanctity.

 

Why Certification Matters -

 

The most authentic kosher catering PA providers obtain certification from authorized organizations only if they get regular visits from the Mashigiach. He is a Rabbu-certified inspector who ensures that the food gets prepared strictly as per the Kashrut rules. The procedure is known as Hechser. However, it is more than the ingredients that an inspector would check. His visit would cover the particulars of various aspects, including the Kosher adherence to maintaining separate stickers for mulching and fleshing and a keen eye on every movement. Hence, if the caterers violate a simple step in preparing something as simple as sushi, then the inspector would take note as a demerit.
