Justice Certification (Hechsher Tzedek)

Monday July 21, 2008
While a kosher label ensures the animal was slaughtered with a sharp knife, how can we be sure that the animal was not abused prior to slaughter? How can we be sure that workers in the factory farm that produces the eggs we buy are not mistreated? How can we know that the vegetables we buy were not treated with pesticides that are harmful to the environment? Worst of all, do we have to chose between the chicken with kosher certification and the chicken from the socially ethical plant? Learn how Justice Certification (Hechsher Tzedek) can help you keep eco-kosher.
