Hi, Does anyone know about this hechsher? I think it stands for Jersey Shore Orthodox Rabbinate. I think they supervise places in NY also.
What can you tell me about it?

Thanks!

Not 100% sure, but I believe it is Sephardic out of Deal, NJ.

Found it at kashrusmagzine.com -- they list the following information:

Jersey Shore Orthodox Rabbinate, 230 Crosby Avenue, Deal, NJ 07723. (732) 531-0535, 531-4872; Fax: (732) 531-9021. Rabbi Yitzchok Farhi, Kashrus Coordinator.

Publication: Kashrut Highlights - Sephardic Directory.

Please note that a listing at kashrusmagazine.com does NOT mean that a hechsher is recommended. It just lists everything so that one can investigate on their own or with their LOR.

That said, it is my understanding that this hechsher is reliable, but I certainly do not know it's standards.

A family member of ours was a mashgiach for them. There is no monkey business, very reliable. Also, the meat restaurants in Deal have a mashgiach temidi since they pasken that a jew must put the meat on and off the fire, I believe. Also, most yeshivish Lakewood people I know , trust the hechsher. If you know any rabbanim in Lakewood, you can call to check it out.

We use their hashgacha, if that makes a difference to you. We are yeshivish.
