[COMMUNICATED] In the short time since its inception, Vaad Kashrus Mehadrin has B’siyatta D’shmaya grown into a well respected, trusted and reliable Hashgacha throughout the tri-state and neighboring areas.

With the unwavering support of Harav Noach Isaac Oelbaum shlita, and masterful guidance of Harav Elya Brudny shlita, Vaad Kashrus Mehadrin operates as a community service rooted in daas torah and halacha.

Vaad Kashrus Mehadrin (VKM), was founded in 2019 following the petirah of Rabbi Shlomo Gissinger Z”TL, a legendary Rav and posek in the Lakewood community. At the request of several prominent Rabbonim in and around Lakewood, VKM set out to fill the void, by creating a hashgacha entity that would uphold to the standards of the Lakewood community, and implement guidelines to satisfy those concerned about the kashrus of a given vendor.

Specializing in catering and events, Vaad Kashrus Mehadrin has a remarkable network of mashgichim, including many who are experts in the field. Directed by Rabbi Tzvi Altusky, a highly acclaimed kashrus professional with extensive hands on experience in the field, the Vaad serves as a constant resource and support for all of its mashgichim, providing the training and coaching necessary for each one to succeed. There is always someone available to answer questions instantly or within a short timeframe. VKM ensures that each event employs a hands on mashgiach to appropriately supervise the kashrus and is therefore highly recognized for their expertise and agility in various set-ups within the kosher catering industry.

Vaad Kashrus Mehadrin is passionate about its work and aims to please, while not wavering from the daas torah demands. The rabbonim of the vaad establish the standards and provide psak halacha that is then executed throughout the work of the organization. Frequent conversations and meetings with the Rabbanim further ensure that all is overseen and approved by the higher authorities.

Vaad Kashrus Mehadrin prides itself in that while growing quickly, it remains consistently involved with each client’s needs and offers individualized attention as needed. The Vaad has recently stepped up to certify several Lakewood food establishments looking for a new but reliable hashgacha. Vaad Kashrus Mehadrin is AKO and CRC approved and has quickly acquired a reputation of reliability and integrity through hard work and genuine caring. VKM is always there to advise, discuss and problem solve through the daily intricacies that arise. For some clients, the listening ear and empathic understanding of a situation that the Vaad staff offer is a valuable byproduct of being part of the VKM family.

Vaad Kashrus Mehadrin currently serves areas in and around the tri-state areas including Brooklyn, Lakewood, Great Neck/Queens, Philadelphia, Cherry Hill, Deal, Manhattan and more.
