In a recent interview with Flavors of Diaspora, Rabbi Miller described Kosher Michigan as an effort to lower barriers to certification so that small businesses, regional producers, and food-service providers can serve kosher consumers without unnecessary burden.
Rabbi Miller emphasized that Kosher Michigan combines traditional rabbinic supervision with practical business sense. He described outreach to local businesses and the careful training of mashgichim so that supervision is consistent and reliable. For those who observe kashrut and for those who are newly seeking kosher options, Rabbi Miller sees Kosher Michigan as a bridge between tradition and the practical needs of modern food production.
