The legal advisor of the Chief Rabbinate to the Tzohar organization stated that the kashrut certification license granted to Tzohar by the director general following a High Court petition was issued illegally, and cannot be relied upon for any action, according to Eli Hirschman (N12).
The dispute over Tzohar's kashrut certification continued Tuesday, as the legal advisor of the Chief Rabbinate to the Tzohar organization stated that the kashrut license granted to Tzohar was issued illegally and cannot be relied upon. The license was granted by the director general following a High Court petition, according to Eli Hirschman (N12). As The Zioneer reported last week, the Chief Rabbinate had previously ruled that the license was not approved by the Rabbinical Council, and later certified Tzohar as an official kashrut body following the High Court ruling. The legal advisor's statement adds a new legal challenge to Tzohar's authority to issue kashrut certificates under the reform.
