Fifty years ago, the Rebbe launched Mivtza Kashrus, sparking a global transformation. Thanks to the dedication of shluchim worldwide and some of the world’s largest kosher certifying agencies, kosher food is now accessible across the globe, supporting both frum Jews and thousands of baalei teshuvah taking on kashrus each year.
But with this privilege comes serious responsibility. Whether certifying a restaurant, running an industrial kitchen in their Chabad House, or transforming a hall for a kosher wedding, shluchim are often called on to make complex halachic decisions, sometimes without a Rov immediately available, such as on Shabbos or Yom Tov.
That’s why we’ve created a groundbreaking course in Hilchos Kashrus, designed specifically for shluchim, a training that prepares you to become a certified Kashrus expert, built for the realities shluchim face.
A collaboration between Machon Limud Halacha – Lemaan Yilmedu and OK Kosher Certification, one of the largest and most respected kosher certifiers, this course will blend in-depth halachic learning with hands-on, real-world application.
The course features weekly shiurim by Rabbi Yossi Barber, a renowned kashrus teacher known for his clarity, depth, and practical approach to halacha. You’ll learn directly from the Shulchan Aruch and its commentaries, with a focus on applying halacha to real-life shlichus scenarios. In addition, expert rabbonim from OK Kosher will deliver shiurim based on their extensive Halachic knowledge and years of practical experience.
Classes are accompanied by summarized booklets with clear diagrams and visual aids and English translations of source texts for easy referencing. Classes are recorded and accessible at your convenience, making it easy to keep up, no matter your schedule.
Graduates who successfully complete the course will receive a “Kashrus Expert” certification issued by Lemaan Yilmedu.
