Under the supervision of the Rabbanim Achrayim of St. Louis, the Vaad Hoeir, the United Orthodox Jewish Community, provides kosher certification to retail stores, hotels, restaurants and community institutions, and also kosher certifies industrial manufacturing of both raw materials and finished goods.

The Vaad also maintains the Taharath Israel Mikvah located on the Millstone Campus for ritual immersion and conversions. A second Shabbat and Yom Tov mikvah is maintained at Young Israel in University City.

The annual Maos Chitim Fund Drive before Passover provides Kosher-for-Passover items for those in need. The Barbara Mendelson Tomchei Shabbos Fund assists those in need for Shabbos and Yom Tov.

Alan Kandel is President.
