Full local communal kosher authority for Romania. Certifies several large food production plants, FEDROM-associated communal kitchens, kosher restaurant(s) in Bucharest, events at major Bucharest hotels, periodic shechita (kosher slaughter), and maintains published lists of approved kosher products (including for Passover). Wine/food production certification noted as part of an expanding national supervision program.
The kosher department operates as the Cancelaria Rabinică (Rabbinical Chancellery) of FEDROM (Federația Comunităților Evreiești din România - Cultul Mozaic). Kashrut and certification are led by Chief Rabbi Rafael (Rafi) Shaffer, Romanian-born and a former member of Kollel Chazon Ish, Bnei Brak. The Federation explicitly identifies itself as the official kosher supervising authority for Romania and publicly disclaims establishments falsely claiming its supervision. Address: Strada Sfânta Vineri 9 (Str. Sf. Vineri nr. 9-11), Sector 3, Bucharest. Tel: +40-21-312.21.96 (Rabbinical Chancellery) / 021-315.50.90 (Federation). The Federation also advocated for Romania's 2022 law protecting kosher slaughter. No certified bakery currently exists in Romania per the Rabbinate's own guidance.
