Hovis becomes kosher certified

One the country’s most-recognised brands has made the landmark move to become kosher

Pesach will be even harder next year, following an announcement that Hovis is becoming fully kosher certified for the first time in its 130-year history.

Most of the range, including Soft White, Best of Both and Seed Sensations secured KLBD (Kosher London Beth Din) certification.

The move was welcomed by Rabbi Conway, Director of KLBD, who said it was “another major step towards KLBD’s goal to make kosher as easy and affordable as possible.“

He added, it would be a “great help” to “outlying communities as well as Jewish students, holidaymakers and all those away from home.”

The youth arm of the United Synagogue, also welcomed the move. Tribe on Campus’s Nottingham Ambassador, Daniel Glass, said: “With no kosher shops in Nottingham, getting kosher supplies isn’t the easiest. But, being able to pick up a loaf of kosher bread almost anywhere now is a great help to keeping kosher on campus.”

The chair of Sheffield United Synagogue Frada Wilenski, said they were “delighted that we have more flexibility of choice.”

Engaging

Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.

Celebrating

There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.

Pioneering

In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.

Campaigning

Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.

Easy access

Voice of our community to wider society

The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.

We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
