AKO rabbis were exposed to the military rabbinate's kashrut revolution: Seminars were held in Jerusalem by the rabbis of the AKO, which brings together the top leaders in the kashrut world in the US, during which the rabbis discussed food technology issues, innovations in the global food industry, and methods of supervision.
Rabbis and experts in the food industry presented halachic issues to the heads of kashrut systems, which grant kashrut to thousands of factories around the world and have a direct impact on the food industry in Israel.
Due to the situation in Israel, they chose to hold the conference in Jerusalem this year, expressing solidarity and support for the citizens of Israel. These are the world's leading kashrut bodies that provide kashrut in many establishments around the world.
