Past Hillel President Launches Online Kosher Meat Business

Former Hillel student president, Robert Bernton (B'09), has recently launched a new company called “The Kosher Express”. The company’s mission is to deliver high quality kosher meat directly to the consumer’s door.

During his freshman year, Rob successfully led an effort to create a kosher meal plan on campus. Soon after its inception, students began to gather from across the University twice a week to eat, shmooze, and have fun. Sometimes talking for hours, students used this kosher meal plan as a vehicle to improve their experience on campus. (Since then Emory University has adopted a full-scale kosher meal plan offering 11 meals per week.)

Rob's leadership helped to cultivate a strong community focused on celebrating their Judaism. Says Rob,

The Kosher Express hopes to create a similar experience by bringing delicious kosher food, amazing recipes, and enthralling discussions — directly to the consumer’s home, anywhere in the country.

Apart from supplying delicious kosher food, The Kosher Express embraces its philanthropic program called the Tzedek Express, through which, The Kosher Express donates a portion of sales to participating synagogues, Jewish day schools, and non-profit organizations.

Use the promotional code "EMH01" when placing your next order with The Kosher Express, and Hillel at Emory will get a percentage back as a donation.
