Kosher Kiwi
The Kosher Kiwi is the hechsher (kosher mark) of the United Orthodox Hebrew Congregations of New Zealand which have offices in Auckland and Wellington.
The Kosher Kiwi Licensing Authority is headed by Rabbi Kaszovitz.
Rabbi Netanel Aryeh Leib Kaszovitz serves as our in-house Senior Rabbi. He received his rabbinical ordination in Israel and previously held the position of Rabbi for the Jewish communities of Kenya and East Africa. During his tenure there, he provided kosher certification on behalf of the Nairobi Hebrew Congregation (NHC) as well as for several major companies, including the KLBD (London Beth Din).
Sheilot (questions on Jewish Law) are referred to the Kashrut Authority of New South Wales with whom we work in close conjunction. We follow the general guidelines of major agencies such as OU.
Additionally, we are happy to work with you to cater kosher events at many venues locally. We also have caterers in the community who can work with large groups passing through New Zealand.
