Efstathios Nikolopoulos CONFECTIS CO

Rabbi Danny Moore has been one of the most high influencing Rabbis i had the chance to work with. Contacted him 3 years ago, and although i had a prior experience with a couple more high Kashrus, Rabbi Moore helped me and my company step by step to accomplish our goals, producing candies under the highest Kosher standards. His encouraging and motivating guidance, helped us bring even more clients and establish a long term cooperation with all of them. Kosher productions have helped our factory evolve, be more efficient, even more clean, and way more productive.

Rabbi Osher Westheim Ztl

Founder

Was 27 years Senior Dayan at the Manchester Beth Din before he founded the BIR Badatz Igud Rabbonim with the blessing of his mechutan Rav Shmuel Halevi Wosner Ztl. During his life he was regarded as one of the greatest European Rabbinical figures and was a world renowned Kashrus expert and Rav Hamachshir.

Rav Westheim Ztl left MBD in order to setup a Mehadrin hechsher that would be able to give the highest standards for the Bnai Torah.

He was extremely well respected throughout the Food Industry and Kashrus world. His mastering of the Laws of Kashrus enabled him after thoroughly analysing the technical data, to propose the best solution in compliance with the requirements of a flawless standard of Kashrut. He was well-known on the American & European continents as well as of-course in Eretz Yisroel especially in the sweets and candy industry as well as Kosher certification of raw materials. The industrial products carrying his Kosher logo actually profit from his international reputation even within the most demanding orthodox communities.

To give some examples of this competence, Rav Westheim as a director of the Kashrus of the Manchester Beth Din, after long years of work and research, achieved kosher accreditation for a number of products of the Kellogg’s company. Other multinationals like Proctor & Gamble, Cargill, Bacardi, Arcor, Camille Bloch, Strauss Elite and Haribo among many others have come to rely on his expertise and professional skill.

He was known as a tail blazer in the Kashrus world with being the first for many things that other kashrus agencies then sometimes years later followed his lead. 

He was the first to produce Gluten Free Oat Matzos for people who are Celiac. 

He was the first to produce Kosher Fish Gelatine

He was the first to introduce Bedikas Tzumas Hagidin in Europe.

He was the first to insist on a dedicated Bodek Sakinim in every shechita.

He was the first to get the Brocho printed on food packaging. 

 

Rabbi Shulem Landau Shlita

President & Rav Hamachshir

Rabbi Shulem Landau is the son in law of Rav Westheim Ztl and the Rav Hamachshir of the Badatz Igud Rabbonim. He is a Talmudical scholar and expert in the Rabbinical legislation. He writes extensively on Jewish Law and answers the questions of the general public. He is very knowledgeable in the field of the shechita – ritual slaughter and in Kosher productions. He sees his role to continue the kashrus legacy of Rabbi Westheim Ztl and continuing our high Badatz standards of Super Kosher for which we are famous for.

  • He learnt in Yeshivas Luzern under Rav Koppelman and then continued his studies in Mir Yeshiva in Yerushlaim.
  • He received his Heter horoa from: Rav Chaim Wosner (Rav Zichron Meir, Bnai Brak), Rav Ephraim Padwa (Moro Deasro of London, Head of Kedassia London), Rav Hershel Shnek (Dayan of Satmar & Kedassia London), & Rav Yisroel Chaim Horowitz (Rav Satmar Manchester).
  • He learnt 18 years in Satmar Kollel in Manchester before joining the Badatz Igud Rabbonim. 
  • During his time in Satmar Kollel he was Rosh Hachaburo on Yoreh Deah for 8 years.
  • Rav Shulem Landau is an Einekel for the Boruch Tam. His father Reb Efraim Landau Ztl was a Dayan in Kedassia London for many years.
  • The Satmar Rebbe Shlita on his last visit to Manchester appointed Rav Shulem Landau Shlita as a Dayan on the Satmar Beis Din in Manchester.

Proceeding very professionally, he is offering BIR Customers a partnership which will enable the manufacturer to achieve the greatest value added for a product carrying the BIR label and ensures that the product meet the strictest requirements of the orthodox communities.

He had the zechus of working closely with Rav Westheim Ztl for many years and learnt a lot from working underneath him. He sees as part of his role is to continue the legacy of Rav Westheim Ztl to insure all the chumros and dikdukai halochos of Rav Westheim continue to be meticulously carried out.
