Hechsher - Forms

Forms

A Hechsher may be a printed and signed certificate displayed at a commercial venue or on a media advertisement advising the consumer that the subjected product is Kosher. Such certificates usually display the name of the Rabbinical Court issuing the Hechsher, the name of the business or product, date of issue, expiry date and stamp of Rabbi who issued the certificate.

It may also be a certification marking on individual retail packaging of items which have been certified as Kosher. This marking is usually a basic stamp or emblem indicating the issuing Rabbinical court. Modern Hechsher's display sophisticated holgrams and seals which are hard too forge.

Famous quotes containing the word forms:

    There are these sudden mobs of men,
    These sudden clouds of faces and arms,
    An immense suppression, freed,
    These voices crying without knowing for what,
    Except to be happy, without knowing how,
    Imposing forms they cannot describe,
    Requiring order beyond their speech.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    Two forms move among the dead, high sleep
    Who by his highness quiets them, high peace
    Upon whose shoulders even the heavens rest,
    Two brothers. And a third form, she that says
    Good-by in the darkness, speaking quietly there,
    To those that cannot say good-by themselves.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    The method of authority will always govern the mass of mankind; and those who wield the various forms of organized force in the state will never be convinced that dangerous reasoning ought not to be suppressed in some way.
    Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
