The creation of the new Lamed-K supervision agency at AgriStar, replacing CHK for certifying Shor Habor meats, can be traced back to the Kinus Hashluchim in New York. Hershey Friedman, a Canadian Jewish billionaire businessman, became interested in where Chabad Shluchim sourced their kosher meat from during the gala banquet of the Kinus Hashluchim. He then purchased Agri Star Meat & Poultry LLC in 2009 and sought to promote the Shor Habor brand certified by CHK, the kashrus agency of the Crown Heights Beis Din.
Quality of Kashrut in Chassidic communities
Chassidic communities emphasize the importance of careful eating habits, believing it affects physical and spiritual qualities. Chabad communities historically had their own shochetim, but with industrialization, the need for local shochets decreased. The Rebbe introduced the concept of “Lubavitch shechita,” emphasizing the importance of high standards in kosher meat production.
Friedman’s efforts to promote Shor Habor brand
Despite efforts to promote the Shor Habor brand among Lubavitchers, Friedman noticed that not everyone was purchasing it. He reached out to Chabad officials to enhance communication and coordination with the Shliach network worldwide. This led to discussions with the Vaad Rabbonei Lubavitch (VRL) and the formation of a new certifying organization called Lamed-K for Lubavitch Kosher.
The establishment of Lamed-K agency
Following the dispute in the Beis Din with Rabbi Shlomo Segal, the CHK overseeing the Shor Habor process was terminated by AgriStar. Rabbi Segal, Rabbi Aaron Lieberman, and Gedalya Oberlander then worked to create a national certifying organization named Lamed-K. Rabbi Yossi Deren and Rabbi Nissim Ben Atar were appointed to oversee the shochatim for beef and poultry, respectively.
Breakup with CHK certification
Recent developments saw Rabbi Yosef Braun and Rabbi Avrohom Osdoba terminating the CHK certification on Shor Habor due to disagreements on processing floor changes. AgriStar chose to resume supervision under Rabbi Segal and his colleagues of Lamed-K. The future availability of Shor Habor meat across the country remains uncertain following the CHK certification termination.
Implications and future outlook
The termination of CHK certification on Shor Habor products may lead to uncertainty for food establishments reliant on products from AgriStar. Lamed-K plans to push for broader availability of Shor Habor meat nationwide under its supervision. With potential shortages of AgriStar products lacking CHK certification, the industry awaits further developments on how establishments will proceed.
