Community supervision of kashruth in Jewish butcher shops was recommended here at the conclusion of a two-year study by the Jewish Community Council of Essex County, New Jersey. The program, as recommended by the council, would be administered by a broadly representative communal organization, but kashruth control regulations would be in the hands of a rabbinical commission consisting exclusively of unpaid Orthodox rabbis.
Judge Philip Singer of Orange, N. J., who headed the study commission, reported that numerous rabbis, retailers, wholesalers and consumers had testified before his unit in favor of community supervision. Hundreds of petitions from kashruth observers urging community supervision were also received.
