Membership

The Voice is our newsletter to the community. In addition to our special Passover edition, The Voice also includes helpful hints on school lunches, information on new products that can be added
to lunch menus, and ideas for refreshments for meetings and
other community gatherings.

Our organization is governed by a Board of Directors whose members come from Orthodox, Conservative and Reform congregations, and our members range from those for whom Kashruth is a way of life to those who want to ensure the availability of kosher food for everyone in the community.

While each of us may be at different levels of observance, the DK sets the community standard in Dallas that is inclusive of everyone and one with which all of us can be comfortable. In order to serve the community, we employ three professionals: Rabbi Sholey Klein and Rabbi David Shawel, who have responsibility for kashruth supervision and certification and education, and Executive Director, Jeri Finkelstein, who has responsibility for vendor relations and community relations; she is also a liaison between members and vendors, and business/fiscal matters.

The Vaad is supported by the Jewish Federation of Greater Dallas and many area Congregations, and by families and individuals like you. Your support is a positive expression of our community's commitment to Kashruth, Torah and Jewish continuity.

The Vaad Hakashrus of Dallas, Inc. doing business as Dallas Kosher or DK, is Dallas’ non-profit organization to promote Kashruth. It supervises local bakeries, markets, caterers, delis and restaurants to ensure that kosher food is available for people like you and me.

We assist families in learning about Kashruth and in how to make their homes kosher; our professionals speak to many groups such as our Jewish day schools, religious schools and adult education classes.
