KVH stands for 'Kashrus Vaad Harabonim' and is the kosher certification arm of the Rabbinical Council of New England.
The organization was originally founded in 1928 as the Orthodox Rabbis Association of Massachusetts.
It certifies both manufacturing facilities and food service operations.
Listed by
AKO is an association of kashrus agencies. AKO itself says that membership is not an endorsement of an agency’s standards and that it does not audit its members.
The Chicago Rabbinical Council publishes a list of agencies it recommends. The cRc itself says that an agency missing from the list has not been judged substandard.
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?

The operator says: Rabbi Moshe Kaufman, KVH Kosher (Rav Hamachshir)
