The Agudath Israel Rabbinical Court (Badatz) has appointed Rabbi Gedaliah Koltaniuk as its new CEO. This strategic move is part of an effort to expand the court's high-standard kashrut (kosher certification) services and develop its overall activities both in Israel and internationally.
The decision was made by the Badatz's leadership, including members Rabbi Binyamin Adler, Rabbi Yisrael Berzovsky, Rabbi David Yitzchak Mandelbaum, and Rabbi Avraham Sharga Shtiglitz, along with Rabbi Nachum Yoel Froush, chairman of the Kashrut Committee.
Rabbi Koltaniuk, who has extensive experience in kashrut and management, including expertise in food technology and import, is expected to lead a significant expansion of the Badatz's operations beyond kashrut. His vision includes enhancing the organization's accessibility, transparency, and efficiency.
The Agudath Israel Badatz, established approximately 70 years ago, has a long-standing reputation for providing comprehensive kashrut supervision and halachic (Jewish law) guidance. It is known for its rigorous oversight of beef and poultry slaughter, trusted by many communities with strict kashrut requirements.
Officials at the Badatz expressed confidence that the combination of the court's traditional halachic authority and Rabbi Koltaniuk's international management and business development experience will propel the organization forward, significantly broadening its services and benefiting the public.
