The Federation of Synagogues is understood to be on the verge of leaving the London Board for Shechita, the capital’s largest body for licensing kosher meat.
Asked to confirm the information, the Federation said on Monday that a joint statement would be forthcoming but “not out today”.
Sources in the kosher industry told the JC that the organisation would be leaving next month – one said the departure would be “amicable”.
The Board, one of the oldest communal organisations which was founded in 1804, has been jointly run by the Federation, the United Synagogue and the S & P Sephardi Community.
