Herring is on the way out, Herring salad is on the way in.

In Eretz Yisroel and many in the USA as well don't consume herring anymore due to the anisakis worm.

Chopped / ground herring salad does not have the issues.

Some are developing some very interesting herring salads.

Will the "real" Queens Vaad please stand up said...

http://www.zehjournal.com/images/FRUMVOTERSGUIDE.2010.pdf

Chaim Schwartz has angrily & heatedly argued here that no one poskened against supporting pro-toyevah politicians as he cavorts around town with them and as his former employer the Agudah defiles themselves with every lowlife that $uits them.

Say what you want about Rav Belsky's heterim but here he is signing an issur against supporting pro-toyevah candidates with R' Noach Isaac Oelbaum (a NON-Vaad rov in Queens, as heimishe & yeshivishe rabbonim in Queens refuse to join the Vaad and in many cases refuse to eat from their farce kashrus as well) and one of the Mirrer roshei yeshiva.

It is claimed here that Rav Shteinman did not posken anything but according to reliable sources he did call R' Malkiel Kotler to be chozer on originally supporting pro-gay Jon Corzine.

Just so we know who we are dealing with:

The man curses out Rav Belsky shlit'a left & right, listens to Rav Olbaum Shlit'a like a hole in wall,and CLAIMS (as usual) that called blah...blah... blah.

But now he THINKS he heard something going his crooked way, OH!
"VAYIKATZ" (as in Sheigatz or Shaketz Teshaktzenu). PHEH!

This is how he poskens HIS shaylas and this is sets forth HIS hashkafahs. PHEH!

Vayikatz is not the same shoresh as sheketz but you sure are a baal hachalomos vos cholomst a gantz tog vos du bist a man deamar in kashrus and everything else. Ich bin der Qveens Vaad. Feh yourself.

Shteit in sifrei kaboloh az cholomos bei tog meinen gornisht.

A fish mocher under Hisachdus told me he called the Eidah and they told him they will never asser whole herring no matter what personal chashoshos they have vegen dem. What's the story with ain hatzibur yecholin laamod bo? Is there some kind of weak heter or the rabbonim just don't want to look foolish assering something if 95% of the population are fressers beshot nefesh as the Chofetz Chaim would call them who won't listen?

The Eidah does want to asser herring bi'pumbi because Ger chasidim will shmad themselves as the whole Gur chasidus is geboit on herring. But li'maaseh the eidah does not allow it in any of their stores, caterers, companys etc so in essence they did ASSER HERRING.

Where did please stand up "curse out" Rabbi Belsky? Not that it isn't a bad idea.

Here are so many gedolim cursing out Rabbi Belsky for trying to nullify a kidushin that a rav in Brooklyn made a sefer out of all the letters. It figures that Queens Vaad defends Rabbi Belsky. He is indispensible for kosher leniencies and gets paid to do mercenary work together with Bryks in nasty din Torahs. Rabbi Belsky also sounds like a hypocrite coming out against gay bureaucrats when he protects his buddies the Kolkos who have a thing for little boys.

Did the Eidah stop using imitation crab?

I don't think the Badatz is afraid of anyone picking another religion. They are probably afraid that the Gerrorists will rip them to shreds physically. Why do you think so many Gerrorists are members of Vaad Hatznius? They love being the tough guys. They don't take very well to anyone messing with them. Do you know how many of their own bucherim they messed up for accusing Mondrowitz? Mondrowitz himself carries a gun to ward off anyone confronting him.

The Kashau Rov also wrote to asser voting for the pro gay. It should be a dovor poshut. The Agudah is just daas grubba baal habatim like Friedlander who justifies it because he makes political shidduchim for a living.

Two Dozen Nonprofits Face Lawsuits Over Madoff Fraud

Chesed Congregations of America

United Congregations Mesora

Both of these organizations are represented by the same agent in Manhattan.

Chesed Congs. is based at 617 6th St in Lakewood. Did "CEO" invest the BMG's money with Madoff?

United Mesora is Zev Wolfson and his sons in the 5 Towns.

http://www.mccombs.utexas.edu/faculty/clemens.sialm/barrons020507.pdf

The Dow Jones publication Barron's says Mesora is controlled by the Wolfsons and was used by them to pump money into the A.R. Baron fraud.

The biggest single source of funding for the Gateways kiruv organization might be coming from the Wolfsons who also pumped money into the scam at D.H. Blair run by their convicted criminal friends whom the modern orthodox D.R.S. yeshiva in the 5 Towns is named after, roshei taivos Davis, Renov, Stahler.

In some shuls the stench from herring permeates the walls of the kiddush room. It's like musser haskeil of what the timtum from anisakis can do to a mentch.

"A clear soup requires no beracha achronah unless it is eaten without a pause."

This is being quoted from Rav Forst in the Daily Halacha email. Isn't there another exception like if you had malei lugmav in one shot? Some soups are served in mugs.

Warning said...

Do not let your children slip away from you even for a few seconds when you are out of the house.

ABC News is reporting on a rash of incidents at department stores like Wal-Marts in the last 2 weeks. Kids slip away to another aisle for less than a minute and get attacked by a pervert who runs up to grope them and quickly escape from the store. There have been worse stories in the past where the pervert manages to pull a kid into a secluded area like through the door of a stock room.

Can you trust California state organic certification now that Gov. Schwartzeneggar is choshud for being Meshichist?

There are all kinds of Jewish organizational leaders, mainly self-appointed, who are making as much as $1 million a year and still getting big fat raises during the worst economic times in 80 years.

It is therefore somewhat of a relief to see Agudah's Chaim Dovid Zweibel received no raise from his $152,000. And Torah Umesorah's Tzvi Bloom took a 12% pay cut to bring him down to $108,000.

The OU, the OU's RCA division & the National Council of Young Israel are refusing to provide data for Rabbi Steven Weil, Rabbi Basil "Pickled" Herring & Rabbi "Chometz for Pesach" Lerner.

You should be dan CEO lekaf zchus. He might have only invested the yeshiva's money with Madoff after Avi Shafran wrote that newspaper article that Madoff is a bigger mentch than the airplane pilot Sully Sullenburger who saved hundreds of lives by crash landing in the Hudson River, and before Zweibel and the Novominsker forced Shafran to retract.

the anikasis in herring is only ossur to the slifkinites who don't believe chazal and shulchan aruch when they say that bugs in fish flesh is always muttar.

It's sick how these Belsky chassidim and people in the fish industry with profit driven motives are badmouthing the gedolei hador as "Slifkinites"
