Jerusalem Glatt kosher hotels, Glatt kosher hotels in Jerusalem

The technical definition of glatt kosher is meat from animals with smooth or defect-free lungs, but today the term glatt kosher is often used informally to imply that a product was processed under the strictest standards of kashrut.

The word "glatt" means smooth in Yiddish. In Jewish Law, the term glatt is used to refer to the lungs of animals. After the animal is slaughtered, the animal is opened and examined to determine whether the lungs are smooth. If the lungs are found to be smooth, the meat is considered to be "glatt kosher".

Today a more informal attitude to the meaning of glatt kosher is used, and most understand it to mean kosher to the highest standard, meaning more or stricter rabbinical supervision has been followed for the product or products in question.
Today, even non-meat products are labeled as Glatt Kosher.
