December 21, 2023 from the Monsey Scoop:

"The Rabbonim of Monsey unveiled a pioneering initiative this week known as the Rockland Kashrus Oversight Committee (R.K.O.C.), which aims to provide Monsey consumers with comprehensive and current information regarding the kashrus of the foods they consume.

"The R.K.O.C. has been established with the primary objective of supporting and empowering local hechshairim to maintain their high standards and to deter the establishment of certifying agencies that do not meet our communities stringent criteria.

"The committee stressed that it does not assume complete responsibility for the kashrus of any specific establishment within its purview. Instead, its role is to ensure that kitchen protocols are in place to facilitate the work of the hechshairim in upholding kosher standards.

"The R.K.O.C., led by esteemed Rabbonim Rav Chaim Shraga Feivel Schneelbag, Rav Bezalel Tovia Wetenstein, and Rav Tzvi Moshe Langner, has garnered widespread support from prominent Monsey Rabbonim."
