OU Kosher COO Rabbi Moshe Elefant: \u201cRabbi Senter zt\u201dl was a pioneer in the world of industrial kashrus. He was an individual of great intellect, but at the same time very warm & easy to get along with.”<\/p>\n

OU Kosher CEO Rabbi Menachem Genack: \u201cRabbi Zecharia Senter zt”l and I were actually quite close. The Senter family are tremendous Baalei Chessed. Rabbi Senter himself was a mathematician, and along with his tremendous accomplishments in kashrus, he was the founder of the Kof-K.<\/p>\n

Above all, Rabbi Senter was a loyal talmud of Rav Soloveitchik ztz”l. He always went to the Rav’s shiur and he was very much liked by the Rav. Rabbi Senter’s children were once listening to a currently unpublished tape of the Rav from 1961 in which he was learning Hilchos Tefillin.<\/p>\n

The Rav called on Rabbi Senter to read and said b’derech chiba, “Senter, you’re a mathematician.
\nI want you to read!””<\/p>\n
