Worth asking the operator
Public pages rarely say how long someone has supervised a particular program. The operator can tell you.
- Who signs the kashrut certificate for this program, and can I see this year’s certificate?
- How many years has he supervised this operator’s Pesach programs, and this hotel in particular?
- Does an agency or beth din stand behind the certificate, or is it his personal hechsher?
- Is he in the hotel for the whole of Yom Tov, and how many mashgichim work under him?
Programs that name it
- Gateways, Hilton Orlando Lake Buena Vista - Disney Springs
The operator says: Rabbi Sholem Fishbane, CRC
