WHO WE ARE
History & Mission
A Taste of History
When the Chabad-Lubavitch community began to blossom in Crown Heights, Brooklyn in the mid-19th century, the Vaad Hakashrus of Crown Heights, led by the Rabbonim, established Crown Heights Kashrus (CHK) to provide confident, reliable, and halachically exquisite kosher supervision for the local community.
Over the past three-quarters of a century, CHK has blossomed into a global-yet-local Kosher powerhouse, with an international team of Mashgichim certifying everything from Crown Heights establishments, to meat processing in South America, to vineyards in Europe, to dairy farms in Israel. Throughout our ingredients remain the same: integrity, consistency, always certifiably divine.
A Sense of Mission
Our mission is to serve the local and global Chabad-Lubavitch community by setting the standard of kashrus with Chassidic soul, the utmost care, and profound professionalism.
Exemplifying the ideals of Shlichus in general, emanating from Crown Heights to change the world, our unique Shlichus, our unique mission, is to solidify the ideals of Kashrus within our own four cubits, which, naturally, organically, wholesomely elevates all four corners of the globe.
