The Knesset on Wednesday gave final approval to the Malkieli kashrut reform bill, which will cancel the provisions allowing private certification bodies. Former Minister of Religious Services Michael Malkieli called it 'a revolution that will do justice with kashrut supervisors.'
The Knesset sealed the legislative process early Wednesday, giving final approval to the Malkieli bill that cancels reforms enacted under the previous government that allowed private entities to issue kashrut certificates. The vote comes after the bill passed second and third readings on Monday, as The Zioneer reported.
Malkieli, who led the push as minister, said the law would 'do justice with kashrut supervisors.' The bill restores exclusive certification authority to the Chief Rabbinate's system, overturning the more liberal 2022 Kahana reform.
