In this packed episode of KosherEd, industry veterans Rabbi Ari Senter, The Kashrus Administrator of the Chof - K and Rabbi Zalman Krems address a live audience to answer deep, complex questions about modern kashrus, halachic frameworks, and how food and drinks are genuinely prepared in the global market. The speakers pull back the curtain on critical halachic inquiries, including: • The operational reality of Bishul Akum (cooking by non-Jews) in modern homes versus large-scale commercial restaurants. From examining how industrial ovens and induction burners affect certification to reviewing why cross-border kashrus agencies clash over policies, this seminar provides you with the inside knowledge needed to navigate modern eating and drinking securely. 💡 Be an Educated Consumer! ⚠️ DISCLAIMER: The opinions expressed by the speakers do not necessarily reflect the views of Kosher Ed.
