Kashrus Policy
Kashrus Policy
The Forest Hill Jewish Centre services the needs of a wide spectrum of Jews. As such, we have always maintained the highest level of observance with Kashrus to avoid questions & concerns.
It is the FHJC policy that all food & drink must be clearly marked with a hashgacha, & that:
- Any wine brought into the building must be Mevushal, & must be unopened with its seal still intact.
- No home baked goods are permitted. Only food prepared from a kosher retailer/caterer that is unopened with its seal still intact, bearing a hashgacha, will be permitted.
- All food must be received/reviewed by a Rabbi, or other authorized person, prior to being permitted to be served.
- Food packages must bear a “COR”, “MK”, “OU”, or other acceptable hashgacha. For a list of acceptable hashgachas, please refer to the COR website - click here.
- All alcoholic beverages must comply with COR policy. COR approves of all beverages as listed in the CRC (Chicago Rabbinical Council) Liquor List with the following exception: COR permits Whiskies aged in wine or Sherry casks.
- Whiskies, & other alcoholic beverages, that actually have wine (or other) additives are not kosher unless expressly indicated with the appropriate hashgacha. For the CRC Liquor List click here.
- All alcohol brought into the facility must still be factory sealed & be presented to the mashgiach together with the purchase receipt indicating that it was not purchased prior to the most recent Pesach holiday.
