HaRav Zecharia Senter, ZT”L

It is with profound sadness that we take note of the פטירה of HaRav Zecharia Senter, ZT”L, head of the Kof-K.

In addition to being a prodigious תלמיד חכם, Rabbi Senter founded and led the Kof-K since its inception all these many decades. While still a young student at Yeshiva Rabbi Yitzchak Elchonan, Rabbi Senter had started an independent source of inquiries and information on kosher matters. This “hobby” developed into an international kashrus agency renowned for its dedication to the highest standards in kashrus enforcement.

All of Guayakí’s products are certified kosher. To keep up with the increasing demand for quality, Guayaki has undergone all the requirements to become certified kosher from Kosher Supervision of America (KSA). In doing so, our processing plant was thoroughly inspected by a Kosher Rabbi. The Rabbi found the cleanliness and sanitation to be of the highest quality, thus ensuring that products both produced and handled at Guayakí are Kosher.

“Mazel tov to Martinelli”s! We are very pleased that delicious and nutritious products like Martinelli”s Cider, Sparkling Cider and Apple Juice are Kosher. And it was a pleasure to work with a company that has been producing great juices for more than 130 years,” said Rabbi Lisbon of the Kosher Supervision of America about Martinelli”s Kosher certification. S. Martinelli & Company presses apples the traditional way to retain that unique, fresh-apple flavor.

Martinelli”s Apple Juice and Cider are made from only 100% U.S.-grown, fresh apples with no concentrates, no added water, no preservatives, no sweeteners and no additives of any kind, unlike most juices on the market today, which are made from imported concentrates. Martinelli”s non-alcoholic Sparkling Cider, Apple-Cranberry and Apple-Grape are also 100% pure juice items ideal for celebrations, served alone in the festive champagne bottles or included in tasty non-alcoholic cocktails. In addition, Martinelli”s entire product line has been pasteurized for purity since 1917.
