Schwartz told me he’d been served a kosher RPG at a wedding in the Hasidic Lubavitch community, its preparation approved by a mashgiach, a supervisor of Jewish dietary law.

All the ingredients are under the supervision of a mashgiach, or overseer, who is on site and inspects all deliveries.

Efraim P., who declined to give his last name because he did not have his boss’s permission, is a mashgiach, or an inspector of food in kosher restaurants.

All kosher establishments pay 500 shekels an hour, or about $135, for the services of an official mashgiach, or kashrut supervisor.

Then he and his wife and daughter and his winery’s mashgiach, the man who oversees adherence to Judaic law in food preparation, and perhaps a friend, the local Chabad rabbi, would sit in the autumnal sunlight for a homemade kosher lunch.
