Why did greenwald lose kcl? And why they go all the way to Philly what’s wrong with the other local hechsherim?
ReplyDeleteThe letter is not from Philly vaad. This is from Lakewood rabbanim, and as per the letter, not new.
DeleteSo there's apparently been a hashgacha around in town for a few years, but nobody heard of it? Sounds fishy.
DeleteSachdus Hashgoocheh in lakewood for the chasidishe olam now kcl also vying for the heimishe olam
ReplyDeleteis rabbi Mandel the main speaker on 104.7?
ReplyDeleteWhy doesn't Rabbi Altusky have his name on the stationery of 'his' Va'ad? Why is there no address on the stationery? Why are there four Rabbonim listed, one from Queens and three from Lakewood?
ReplyDeleteUnless this has nothing to do with Philadelphia and is a new Lakewood Kashrus org, hiding behind a cellphone number and an anonymous email address.
Please verify if the rabbi are on the vaad first.
ReplyDeleteThe halacha is that you should not eat from someone who is not a yoreh shamayim I don't care what kind of kashrus organization gives hashgacha. They are too big, too political, and I have to hire Yudel Shain anyway. Whatever I want to say about itche Meir he is a Yorei Shamayim.
ReplyDeleteHow did you jump from 'not a yoreh shamayim' to 'too big, too political'?
DeleteAnd how is hiring Yudel Shain the solution? He isn't political?
I don't have anything against Itche Meir, but there seems to be something behind this story, larger than any individual's Yiras Shamayim.
