The Israeli Supreme Court is permitting companies to list their commitment to halacha and kashrus without callling themselves "kosher".
"The Reform Movement in Israel had filed a petition with the High Court of Justice challenging the Chief Rabbinate of Israel’s exclusive monopoly on kashrus."
"By a majority of five judges against two, it was determined that a restaurant that does not hold a kosher certificate may not advertise itself as “kosher”, but judges ruled, the restaurant is entitled to present a “declaration of truth ” regarding the standards of kashrus that are maintained meticulously, and the manner of supervising their observance, which also includes an explicit clarification that he does not have a certificate of kashrut."
" This also permits private agencies to provide kashrus by displaying such a document in its name."
September 17, 2017: The Arutz 7:
