Kashrut list

Home page / Kashrut list

The list was prepared with the generous support of Roi Cohen in loving memory of Boaz Yssachar ben Avraham.

The list was written and updated with the constant guidance and assistance of Dayan Rabbi Eliezer Wolff (Av Bet Din of Amsterdam) and Rabbi Akiva Camissar (Rabbi of the Israeli community in the Netherlands and CEO of Chabad central Amsterdam) and we thank them for their help.

All the products in this list are Cholov Yisroel and Pas Yisroel.
On the kashrut list of the Jewish community in the Netherlands, there are other products that are not Cholov Yisroel and Pas Yisroel.

The list is based on the kashrut list of the Jewish community in the Netherlands. Click here to view the full list.
