Looking for articles and explanations about this for a research project (so scholarly articles discussing this is even better, but popular is ok as well) about the Israeli kosher industry. Why aren't there more Dati Le’Umi (national-religious / Modern Orthodox) voices in the Rabbinate? Also, how is it that they have (afaik) control over industries such as Kashrut. Are private kosher certifications not allowed? There's Bada'tz, but why wouldn't there be any certification industries that are more liberal that the Rabbinate, and not just ones that are stricter?

Also, I was reading an old article (Rubinstein, Amnon. “Law and religion in Israel.” Israel Law Review, vol. 2, no. 3, 1967, pp. 380-414.) which said, "The Situation will be changed if the Observance of Kashrut in Business Bill, 1963, is passed, forbidding the marketing and sale of food products as kasher unless a kashrut certificate of a rabbi authorized by the Chief Rabbi is obtained" (Rubinstein 412). Do you know if it passed?

Languages: English preferred, or relatively simple Hebrew (or Hebrew that is about the actual laws of Kashrut, as I keep kosher so am familiar with the relevant terms)
