Lubavitcher Matzah Bakery in Crown Heights Loses Kashrut Certification
In a surprising turn of events, the Crown Heights Kashrut Committee has announced that the Lubavitcher matzah bakery in Crown Heights is no longer under their supervision. This has caused quite a stir within the community, as the bakery has been a main source of matzoh for the Lubavitch community around the world for many years.
The alert published by the Crown Heights Kashrut Committee stated, “While we are working to resolve these issues immediately, please note that this applies to all matzahs produced so far this year. Please note that any packaged matzah without the CHK symbol is not under our kosher.”
Located on Albany Boulevard in Crown Heights, the Lubavitcher matzah bakery has a long-standing history of providing high-quality matzoh, with even the Rebbe himself using the matzoh bakery every Passover. However, it seems that there have been some issues that led to the removal of the kosher certification.
According to reports, the issue stems from requests from the Kosher Committee in order to make improvements to the bakery. The submitted requests include technical improvements, the deployment of workers in the Matzah area, and a requirement that all workers be Shabbat observant and clean, among other things.
The loss of the kosher certification has raised concerns within the community, as many rely on the Lubavitcher matzah bakery for their Passover needs. It remains to be seen how the bakery will address the issues and whether they will regain their kosher certification in the future.
