The word 'Vaad' in Hebrew means a gathering or group. The Vaad Ho-ir (‘the group of the city’) is a team of local rabbinic leaders and lay leadership that provides kosher supervision to different food-related establishments, such as industrial food manufacturers, supermarkets, restaurants, caterers, cafeterias, and many other food-related entities.
The Vaad Ho-ir of Columbus is the central kosher supervision organization of Columbus, Ohio. For more than a half-century, our organization has been vested with the responsibility for providing kosher supervision to local companies, as well as the job of maintaining and improving the kosher standards within the Columbus community. Â
Kosher-designated products are coveted by many different people across the religious and social spectrum. The demand for kosher certified products has increased dramatically, and has been growing at an annual rate of 15% for the past several years. To meet this need, companies in America and overseas are seeking kosher certification. This certification can expand their existing market and enhance their sales, because 'Kosher' is identified with health, quality, and an overall superior product.
The Columbus Vaad Ho’ir has achieved great success in making the process of kosher certification as seamless as possible, thereby better servicing the local and national markets. |
