Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The proposed amendment changes the kashrut system in Israel and continues previous provisions. This bill cancels definitions that are no longer relevant and adds new definitions to align the law with the amendment's provisions. Among other things, the amendment changes the definitions of "supervisor," "authorized rabbi," "local kashrut authority" and "supervision services," and clarifies the responsibilities of various parties in issuing kosher certificates and in supervising the kashrut of businesses and products.
