Editing Hechsher (section)

===Certification===
An 11th-century certificate found in the [[Cairo Geniza]] written by a rabbinical court, testified the kosher status "according to rabbinic law" of the cheeses being sold by a [[Karaite Judaism|Karaite]] grocer, Yefet b. Meshullam of Jerusalem. The document explains that the cheese was produced in a factory on the [[Mount of Olives]] that followed rabbinic practice. The certificate reads: "The cheeses are kosher and it is appropriate for Rabbanite Jews to purchase them. We grant this permission only after having made a formal purchase from him and having witnessed an oath he took on the holy Torah."<ref>[http://www.genizah.org/Manuscript_Samples.aspx#_self]  {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120630111224/http://www.genizah.org/Manuscript_Samples.aspx|date=2012-06-30}}</ref>
