Welcome!
The
Association of Kashrus Organizations was
established in 1985. It was first
chaired by Rabbi Benjamin Shandalov of
the cRc, and then came under the
direction of Rabbi Moshe Heisler at the
Scroll K. Its primary goal is to unite
the different kashrus agencies around
the globe under one umbrella, serving
the Jewish community to raise and
maintain the highest level of kashrus
possible. To that end, the leading
authorities in the world today have a
medium where they can discuss the
numerous situations that arise in the
kashrus industry, to create a plan for
emergency kashrus situations, to
construct basic guidelines for mutually
acceptable standards and to present a
unified voice in kashrus.
Recently, AKO has seen a rebirth under
the able direction of its executive
director, Rabbi Sholem Fishbane, Kashrus
Administrator of the Chicago Rabbinical
Council (cRc). Both in public forums and
behind closed doors, AKO has become the
nucleus of international kashrus
administration.
While
the AKO organization itself does not
give any kosher endorsements, its
members work together to provide the
kosher community with the utmost in
kosher supervision.
