"Kashrut Supervisor"

Moldaw Residences
April, - 04.2025

As the person serving as the food supervisor had resigned, I was asked to assist in ensuring the "kashrut" (religious suitability) of the food being served to residents during the Passover holiday. I visited the site and made recommendations as to what needed to be done regarding the equpment and the food that could be served during the festival.

Since then, there has been an inquiry regarding the possibility of my continuing to serve in this capacity.

This would be part time.
