What is the Hasidic interpretation of Kashrus?
The Orthodox community in the US has formed an organization called OU (Orthodox Union) to supervise observance of Kashrus (Jewish dietary laws). Hasidim never relied on their certifications. Instead they formed their own organizations to deal with Kashrus. “Hisachdus Harabanim” in the US and “Eida Hacharedis” in Israel are among the prominent Kashrus certification authorities within the Hasidic community. When Belz revolted against the Satmar affiliated “Eida Hacharedis”, they formed their own organization offering a lot cheaper certification rates but not as trusted among the general population.
