Kashrut of Online Prozbul

Question

Is an online Prozbul considered preferable?

Answer

According to the instructions of our teacher, Rabbi Fried, as outlined in the Prozbul instructions on this site: the preferred method is to perform a Prozbul in person before the judges. However, for those who do not have this option or do not have time to approach the judges, a Prozbul can be done on the site, and it is considered valid.
