In recent months, acting Chief Rabbinate Director-General Harel Goldberg has led efforts to slash waiting times for kashrut certification requests for thousands of items through increasing staff.
Now, the Chief Rabbinate is set to embark on the second and more significant stage of the process: the adoption of a digital platform to allow importers to receive kashrut certification for an item within 24 hours.
As part of efforts to improve the system through the introduction of a digital platform, kashrut organizations will be involved in the digital process to examine the certification requests, significantly shortening the process of kashrut certification.
The new interface, which was developed by the Chief Rabbinate, won the award for Outstanding Computerization Project in a contest organized by the People and Computers organization.
In a statement, Goldberg said, "The development of the new interface is consistent with our vision to remove regulatory impediments and offer food importers" a better service experience.
