The International Organizational Hashgochas don't rely on him either. (besides the Star-k)The mere fact that the Pomegranate store carries this & other questionable kashrus items doesn't justify an educated kosher consumer to purchase them.
Both brothers are not reliable in kashrus R"L.

They say that Shlesinger from Strasburg is better then Gempf, but you can't rely on either one.
That's not news, that's history.
All of the regional vaadei kashrus hide behind the OU's thin ice heterim & policies. Yet vhen tze kumt tzu Schlesinger the rumor is that the OU doesn't trust him, yet you still find his cheeses in all the supermarkets under the regionals.
Pomegranate store carries it. Pomegranate also carries fresh herbs that require insect checking by experts. Pomegranate has a lot of questionable kashrus items.
Pomegranate is not for the kosher consious consumer, it's for the fine schmeker that wants all fress.
Ok so the OU halt nisht fun em, ober Rabbeinu Chaim Schwartz & Reish kol bnei galusa R' Yoel Schonfeld hobben a bezunderra tzoirech why they are letting it in Queens Vaad supermarkets. The moderner & alla sort anderra fressers will be pounding at the gates if they can't get their French fromage. There is no true Fressing without a few words en Francais & expensive imported fresserei!
How dzoes dzis Schlesinger gets away wit it when Strassbourg iz a yeshiva town? Dzis sounds like KCL laughzing all dzee way to tzee bank in Lakewood.
In Europe almost everyone relies on his hechsher you mixed up the 2 brothers.
You are also starting up with the father of the most popular young Rabbi of the N. East.
Who paid you to do this?
....letting it in Queens Vaad...
Another thing to look out for when your at the 'avoda zara' parties.
The fressers are making a joke out of themselves. A Hollywood scriptwriter came up with the now universally used shprach that the French are "cheese-eating surrender monkeys", a reference to the fact that the French are the biggest cowards in war who have a long history of surrendering or running from enemies who invade their country. This is also behind the joke that when Euro-Disney set off fireworks at the grand opening, the French Army was trying to figure out who to surrender to.

Milk Street Cafe is a strictly kosher operation under the supervision of the OU. We have 3 separate kitchens- Meat, Dairy and Parve- that service both corporate catering and the food hall. 5 mashgichim are on the premises and oversee production 24/5. All of our meat is glatt. Our dairy kitchen is chalav stam however chalav yisrael is available for coffee. Everything is sealed and wrapped from the appropriate kitchen or counter in disposable containers/platters before being presented to the customer. Placemats and benchers are available at each cashier. Challah is taken on all baked goods. We are utilizing new technology called Produce Soak – a whirlpool for fruits and vegetables that dislodges pesticides and bugs. A filter then captures whatever might be dislodged so it cannot reattach. All vegetable and fruits are checked by the mashgichim. Different hats and aprons are assoicated with each kitchen. When team members who are working in one kitchen or station move to another, they change hats and aprons and wash their hands.

The Milk Street Cafe will close its doors for good on Thursday (today), after struggling for months with a loss of business due to police barricades that appeared on Wall Street during protests this fall.
The international kosher food hall at 40 Wall St. saw its sales plummet by 30% after Occupy Wall Street protests started in September, largely because of metal barricades the NYPD used to cordon off large sections of the street & sidewalk, the owner said.
Even after the protesters were evicted from Zuccotti Park, many of the barricades on Wall St remained in place, and owner Marc Epstein said 2 weeks ago that he was on the verge of closing the 23,000-square-foot restaurant.
In an interview 2 weeks ago, Epstein said he was frustrated that city officials had not been more responsive to Milk Street's plight, especially when he begged them to remove the rest of the barricades from Wall Street.
"If I have come away with anything, it is that this is not a place that is conducive to small business," Epstein said.
At the height of the protests in October, Epstein laid off 21 workers & cut back hours to stem the loss of money.
But earlier this month the restaurant was still losing $4,000 a day, and Epstein said it would take a "Hail Mary" to keep his doors open.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hail_Mary
Hail Mary is a traditional "biblical" (Gospel of Luke) Catholic prayer asking for the intercession of the "Virgin" Mary, the mother of Yoshke. The Hail Mary is used within the Catholic Church, and it forms the basis of the Rosary. The prayer is also used by some Anglicans

Hey when you have those Kew Gardens BBQs on erev Shabbos, are there any French cheeses that you don't have to wait 6 hours? You can have the cheese first, wash it down with the beer for hefsik and then fress your BBQ chicken.
If you are so machmir on toaim taam Shabbos (yeah right?), you may as well go all the way because cheese is a Shabbos breakfast food for those noheg to eat before shacharis like the Rambam.
Chosid of CS:
Why the constant attacks on the moderna? While the MO community is not perfect, they certainly can't compare to the crimes committed by our community. The papers are regularly filled with various convictions of unzere chareidim for bank and government fraud, extortion, embezzlement and molestation. Maybe we should eat whatever the moderna are eating. At least we'll create less of a chilul Hashem.
Does the Lakewood Vaad endorse candidates in France?
French court convicts Chirac of corruption
By INGRID ROUSSEAU, Associated Press – 22 minutes ago
PARIS (AP) — A French court found former President Jacques Chirac guilty of embezzling public funds to illegally finance the conservative party he long led, in a historic verdict Thursday with repercussions for his legacy and France's political elite.
Meitztitz,
To clear up the confusion, readers are mocking the modern orthodox in Queens because the modern controlled Vaad hired a yeshivishe maniac to be the Vaad's face to the yeshivishe crowd. He does their bidding which is whatever they want him to do to lie and cover up scandals in kashrus, desecration of cemteries, corruption in dinei Torah, you name it.
You are mistaken about kashrus. Non-kosher food causes a lot of the corruption in people. The timtum or spiritual blockage even prevents doing teshuva.
You are also mistaken about modern vs heimish crimes. There are plenty of modern orthodox crooks being arrested and fined. Most of them are reported by UOJ but not even he is aware of all of them. A lot of them slip under the radar because they are not visible as orthodox Jews, especially if they don't wear yarmulkas at work and don't have particularly heimish sounding names. There are plenty of modern orthodox molesters and plenty of enablers. Rabbi Saul Berman who is as left wing as possible and still calling himself orthodox, covered up for the molester Mordechai Winiarz-Gafni who is no longer orthodox but continued molesting first secular Yidden and now goyim after becoming what is probably a meshumad. And there are plenty of other cases. The modern also have a much more widespread problem with niuf, rachmona litzlan. It's much easier for them to facilitate it with their less restrictive lifestyle like couples socializing.
"The modern also have a much more widespread problem with niuf, rachmona litzlan."
Now here is stuff that even YOU don't know. There is PLENTY of 'niuf' going on ....lets NOT say where....
You can ask the big sponsor of Artscroll & Agudah about what happens thanks to bungalow colonies in the country but not everyone goes or has opportunity the rest of the year. Ma she'ain kain moderner that have socializing taaruvos a gantz yor.
Many of these cheeses have a sticker. What's to stop someone from recreating the sticker on his computer and slapping them on the treif version that is much cheaper?
How much do you want to bet that the NY regional hashgochos have no system in place to account for every package so that this cannot happen?
The kashrus administrator might have groysa payos but it doesn't mean he has groysa contingencies and groysa ethics.
He might talk a good game but what does he do lemaysah to protect the integrity of kashrus?
"moderne fool in heimishe outfit"
You mean like those really left wing YU rabbis in Qveens that still wear black hats for some odd reason?
For hashgochos that allow kashering chocolate equipment with molten chocolate, what about now that unusual ingredients are going into chocolate bars like chazir treif bacon?
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203413304577088854012857694.html
Bacon chocolate also played a part: In 2007, Vosges introduced its "Mo's Milk Chocolate Bacon Bar," featuring applewood bacon and alderwood-smoked salt, and everyone from restaurant pastry chefs to specialty chocolate makers tried their hand at bacon bars.
You mean like those really left wing YU rabbis in Qveens that still wear black hats for some odd reason?
No. He means those really left wing NON-YU rabbis in RST area, Qveens that still wear black hats for some odd reason?

Since when is Shteinmetz the 2nd rav hamachshir of White House kosher events after Shemtov from Lubavitch?
Does yener menuval from the early Shabbos shacharis also come to Chaim's shiur? The kol does not just concern kids and it goes all the way back to Vinnepeg.
I didn't buy a wine this past week because I thought that R' Schlesinger was also in charge of the Badatz of Strasbourg. I just found out though that the head of that Badatz is a Rav Szmerla. Is he mishpocho to the Rav Szmerla in Monsey?
It's his brother
