Others are pulling their ads from the voice & the SCOOP-WHY not "U"?
The Voice of Lakewood's Rabonim and the Lakewood -SCOOP approve of advertising "Treif" eateries? Therefore; Don't advertise, don't read, discard & protest.

We wrote to them, they said their Rabonim.....
There is no "cholo-stam" anymore. Since the Veternerian procedures all non-cholv yisroel is "CHOEV-TREIF". Per the piskei Rav eliyashev, Rav Wosner & all othe gedolie Haposkim. The mere fact that others are consuming Cholov Treif & think it's Cholov stam doesn't change the fact nor the severity of the "issur".

Their right. If their Rabbonim say something, they should follow. You are NOT their Rov. Why should they follow you?
You have a choice not too read or....
but why are you bad mouthing?????
It would nice if our hashgochos could keep a better eye on restaurant kitchens. We bought onion rings tonight and were wondering why there was 3 times more batter than we are used to. We picked them apart and saw the karga jerks were using rotten black onions that they covered up. And do you think there is no question of bugs when they are so rotten?
immature grow up
Hey they have a hechsher. You might disagree but to call them treif when many rabonim say it is ok to eat chalav stam and when many many yidin in good old USA eat chalav stam is 'slightly' radical.
To say the voice should be banned for advertising OMG a chalav stam eatery.
Sorry but it is almost as bad as spitting on a a 8 year old when you act this radical!
Maybe we should just eat RANCID and TOXIC Meal Mart products
"Country Yossi" Toiv has some nerve! He is allowing an ad in his Country Yossi Magazine for the party rental company "All Affairs" from the Italian part of Boro Park (59th St & 23rd Ave).
http://www.allaffairs.com/catalogue.php?msistockcat=98
They are targeting the heimishe oylam - specifically to rent their popcorn & cotton candy machines.
Most All Affairs business is with goyim. They have huge institutional accounts throught the Tri-State like a shvartza college in the Bronx.
What is going through Toiv's mind to allow something that is for sure not kosher. Two in the Toiv family are rabbonim in Flatbush. Shame on you. Now I understand better why the Toiv family shuls are not exactly mainstream.
Must see, letter signed by Rav Shach, Rav Shlomo zalman and Rav Eliyashiv printed in michtovim umamorim, chelek 5, letter #551.
It is a letter publish to defend yidden who where arrested for graffiting advertisements in frum neighborhoods that where deemed immodest.
DAAS TORAH HEPECH DAAS BALEI BATIM PERIOD!

Reb Yehuda, What is the story with GRAPES I herd they are very infected and difficult to clean?
http://thepartialview.blogspot.com/2011/12/who-asked-you-who-appointed-you.html
To the drey kop shtelling tzu from Michtovim Umaamorim, do you really think that making a non-violent mechuah with a spray paint can on government property is the same as nuts from Neturei Karta who follow no Daas Torah whatsoever, spitting on a 7 year old girl dressed according to halacha? Even if she was not dressed kehalacha, the Debriciner holds it is ok until a girl is 8.
There is only one hotheaded, misguided kanoyee writing on Yudelstake who has been constantly harping on this line:
DAAS TORAH HEPECH DAAS BALEI BATIM PERIOD!
What he doesn't get is that his krumkeiten and the American Agudah who lately don't listen to gedolim are the DAAS TORAH HEPECH DAAS BALEI BATIM PERIOD! This is what R' Chaim Brisker wisely predicted they would become.
What he might get is that all of his ridiculous behavior is leading the Kew Gardens oylam to start calling him NAPOLEON.
FEIVISH FROM KEW GARDENS FOR PRESIDENT.
You must mean they are a good example of why the DAAS TORAH HEPECH DAAS BALEI BATIM PERIOD! Because they go against the real daas Torah.
reb yudel with all the tumol about dovid weinberger whats pshat rav belsky is davening in his shul this shabbos??
The reason why Rabbeinu absolutely HATES it when Yudelstake readers tell over Brisker mayselach is because there is a mesorah in Brisk to tell over Napoleon mayselach by Chumash shiur. Even heint by R' Avrohom Yehoshua.

This product is made with treif meatballs & parmesan cheese!
You mean the Queens Vaad isn't endorsing your GOOD FRIEND Asher Taub?
Spitting on little girls has nothing to do with tznius. It's all about a power & money grab because they want the shtick karka that little Naama's Bais Yaakov is built on.
These are the same nuts that are tzuzamen with a radical splinter group of the Eidah that tried to shut down Intel's office in Israel because they don't like the idea of kollel veiber working there. Rav Elyashev sent them a warning that if they don't stop, he will send all the Litvisher yeshivaleit in the country to be moyche outside the house of Dayan Weiss who was the kanoi daas yochid in that matter even keneged the other Edah dayonim. Dayan Weiss would not allow this behavior but his followers are out of control.
Belsky and the Torah Vodaas Shabbos could not come to the 5 Towns for many years. It's because Belsky is an arch-rival of R' Yankel Reisman who he once tried to corner with one of his fixed dinei Torah and actually put Rav Reisman in a phony cherem. Belsky then egged on R' Aron Schechter & Shmuel Bloom to thrown Rav Reisman out of the Agudah. It almost worked. Finally, R' Feivel Cohen convinced Rav Elyashev that Belsky is full of it and a bunch of baal habatim warned Shmuel Bloom they will skin him alive.
chabad friendship circle is not run according to any frum hashkofos or guidelines. my wife thought the shaliach's wife in our neighborhood was nice and she offered to send over girls from friendship circle to help the kids with homework and babysit them. they take volunteer girls from jewish schools and it is free so why not we figured. they sent two girls but the "jewish" school was solomon schechter. the girls and their parents who drove them were really rude and obnoxious so we had to get rid of them and never used the program again. we found out that one girl is a shiksa because her father is married to shiksa from germany. the father showed up at our door and had an axe to grind against torah and frumme yidden. it turns out he is a sfardi who has a big chip on his shoulder because all sfardi shuls are orthodox and will not accept his shiksa so he went to the conservative who begrudgingly accept it because they are suspicious of germans.
In Brisk they pronounce it Napolyon.
You letzonim must read the Wall St Journal editorial page where they always make fun of Hillary Clinton, that next she will call herself Napoleon. In the velt they call someone Napoleon if they are an intellectual dwarf with a big pisk.

Just like in Chabad 'zing'd men' Napoleian war marches.
treif meatballs & parmesan cheese!
is NOT basar b'cholav, However your comment is full of rechilus and other 'good and festah' issurim.
"so why not we figured."
I'm sorry the 'freebie' babysitting and free tutoring did not work according to your plans, Spotlight.
Kedarkoi, C.S. from the Queens Vaad had a few outbursts in a row within a few minutes, all of which make little if any sense. He just can't hold himself back from offering his "two cents" on every point raised while blaming Spotlight as some kind of omnipresent being who is in all places all the time.
"Just like in Chabad 'zing'd men' Napoleian war marches"
Considering that the Baal Hatanya was against Napoleon's emancipation in favor of the Czar, that would be odd. How does C.S. know so much about Chabad niggunim anyway when he is the big baal shita against them (but only when commenting anonymously here as me ken nisht redden azoy altz VHQ Drecktor)? Maybe C.S. is confusing Chabad with Poilishe chassidussen that are big into military niggunim.
And maybe C.S. can explain how a taaruvas beef meatballs & cheese is not basar becholov or at least assur al kol ponim. And yes, C.S. is quick to shoot from the hip that everyone except himself speaks lashon horah. He seems to think he is exempt when he runs around bashmutzing his real AND imagined enemies. And he pretends there is never lashon horah letoyeles against anything wrong that he or his employers do.
And he should talk about "freebies"? Maybe the Queens Vaad tax return should be picked apart further to see which personal items he's getting on the Queens Vaad dime. There are also some interesting items on State Courts website about his associates not paying their bills or involved in criminal activity.
Vayomer Homon b'liboy iz teitch:
that Spotlight is some kind of omnipresent being who is in all places all the time.
Yeh. Thats what he takka thinks.
----
...not basar becholov or at least assur al kol ponim.
as usual, Spotlight adds just 'a little' to what was NOT said, and has a 'langeh shtikel Rechilus' to follow.
----
...lashon horah letoyeles ...
There is NOTHING 'letoyeles' that spotlight or his other gang members have done ever. Especially not on this site.
Omnipresent was only a joke as only an Omnipresent being can be in all the places in the same time that you accuse. No one is crazy enough to think they are Divine except when they think their Executive Drecktor position makes them into a demi-god. So if anyone has midas Haman, it is you, Mr. Kotton Koifetz Beroish.
And you make no sense as usual. What are you hocking a tchynik about treif meatball & cheese soup making it sound like it's mutter ba achila?
Everything is letoyeles to expose your scam kashrus vachulu at the Queens Vaad.
Are you bakant with the Medrash Esther of "mi bachatzair"? If any Queens residents reading this have a nightmare about someone trying to feed you treif or rip up kivrei yesomim to resell for profit and then C.S. and his cohorts show up at your door, you know it is proof they really do such things.
Now go look in vain for your white ferd and executive drecktor crown, Mr. Kacha yaioseh leish asher chofetz Joel Schoenfeld beyekaro.
R' Leibel Eiger said far a mitzvah me shpringt. With you know who it's far a paycheck and a sach kuved me shpringt. He jumps from KVH to VHQ and was probably the first one to send in a job application to the BYQ search committee. If he gets the job he will probably stop using Alle and forcefeed the girls his favorite shechita - Rubashkin's Tevya's Ranch.
What's Napoleon all riled up about? Someone must have said something true. We all know that the truth and him don't mix.
1. Haman was the Sar Hamashkim by seudas Achashverosh to entice Yidden to drink goyishe wine. This is similar to the goyishe wines served at Queens Vaad certified affairs. The horror story that was written up in Kashrus Magazine a few years ago where a known but unnamed NYC area hashgocho was allowing goyishe wine to be served from the bar was with the QUEENS VAAD.
2. One of the Napoleon mayselach they say over in Brisk is that Napoleon couldn't understand what his tachlis was to conquer so many lands. In every shtot he passed through he would stop by the beis medrash and ask the rabbonim if they have a terutz. He was not tzefriden with any of the terutzim until he came across and elterre rov in an ungevarfenne shtettel deep in Russland. The rov told him "ki im zechartani", that he came to all the places that Yidden are oppressed and he can do something about it. Napoleon was takka cursed by the Russian Orthodox Church for not being mamshich the Czar's anti-Semitic policies. There were gedolim who were cholek on R' Shneur Zalman Liadi that French liberation was not such a bad thing. If the heintigger Napoleon can't do anything to improve kashrus and liberate those eating from bad kashrus, he should RESIGN!.
The job that Spotlight went to and ate pork and beans because he was a shtikel hungry also was a Vaad job. If You don't believe it ask Spotlight.He will verify it with many raiyos and proofs and psokim from non-modernah, American AND EY rabbonim only.
Considering all their other blatant pshios, the Queens Vaad serving pork and trying to cover it up would not come as a shock.
R' Yudel should know that Rav Levy the av beis din in Zurich who is far from a machmir has poskened one absolutely cannot rely on Rav M. Feinstein's heter for cholov stam in Western countries when it comes to Switzerland. I think Rav Levy may have been influenced by Swiss farmers were the biggest culprits in the dioxin tainted milk Europe wide scandal over 10 years ago and also hid more mad cow disease than any other country to minimize losses.
Can anyone thus explain then how it is Don Yoel Levy at OK is giving certification on cholov stam Toblerone chocolate made here?
Das ist nicht richtig
Rav Shain, I know you don't usually hold of any gelatins, but what about these?:
Neto beef gelatin under Belzer Machzikei Hadas
Aquagel fish gelatin under Manchester Beis Din
When Klein's Naturals only have the OK on some items and not the Debrecener, what does the Debrecener know that he won't certify? I'm talking about dried cherries. Is there an infestation problem? And I'm talking about fried vegetable chips. Is there a problem with the plant or oil?

Interesting that they have a salesman targeting Chassidisher camps.
In the old country, no one wanted to eat geese as they were seen as the poorest quality meat. That made them dirt cheap that even oremmer Yidden could afford them, so for centuries that's all they ate, even if it was mostly made into shmaltz.
Rosenblatt is now shechting geese. I was a little surprised to see it in the supermarket but I really got sticker shock when I read the price - $149 per frozen, uncooked bird! You can buy a whole chicken already barbequed on special for $7. Do they think a goose is made out of gold?
When I saw a new line of arbus in the store with the brand name "Dee Beste Heimishe" I just knew the hashgocho had to be 'Sachdis and my premonition was correct.
Does anyone know by the way what the psychology is that the Ingrisher are always saying they are "the best"? It's like Margulies ploppering all the years that he has the "best yeshiva".
Superiority complex refers to an exaggerated feeling of being superior to others. The term was coined by Alfred Adler (1870 – 1937)
In psychology, it refers to the unrealistic and exaggerated belief that one is better than others.
Many fail to recognize that this is a trait of low self-opinion who care deeply about the opinion of others

If it's true that R' Chaskel Roth holds it is not treif he is certainly from the gedolei haposkim and it is only fair to mention there are differing opinions. I have heard from poskim who spoke to Rav Belsky that he is a separate problem in that he is soser himself leshitaso about "kosher" milk from a treif animal.
Over 20 years ago, a group of bummy bochurim from a certain feeder yeshiva to Lakewood were called in to R' Malkiel and warned their behavior will not be tolerated when the hanhala found out they went on a ski trip to Vermont.
Were any BMG funds used for this ski excursion?
The kashrus of the restaurant is a very unusual arrangement. It is COR Toronto certifying in Utah for which they hired mashgiach temidi Rabbi Yosef Kirszenberg from Argentina who now lives in NY. The restaurant is owned by the Talisker Restaurant Collection which also owns treif restaurants there serving chazir.

When I woke up to ski the following morning, I met up with a few of my colleagues and noticed an unfamiliar face among them. My coworker introduced him to the group as Aaron Kotler, also a visitor to Utah and an avid skier. He would be our mountain guide for the day. As we were gearing up, something caught my eye. As our guide clicked into his bindings, I noted that the Volkl emblem on his skis had been artistically transformed into a Star of David. My friend Ben must have noticed this too because he suddenly asked, “Would your name, by any chance, happen to be the same namesake of the famous rabbinic dynasty?” To which Aaron responded, “Yes!” After a bit of chatting and getting to know our expert guide we found out that he is none other than HaRav Aaron Kotler and CEO of the Lakewood Yeshiva and grandson of the late Rav Aaron Kotler ZT’L. And this great introduction occurred in Utah!
In addition to the Rav’s fabulous skills as our mountain guide as well as his skiing talent, we shared some amazing stories of Chizuk and spirituality over dinner at the only Glatt kosher restaurant in Utah, “Bistro at the Canyons.” It is a warm feeling when you travel halfway across the country, meet a Rav who offers you a private mountain tour and have a fabulous Glatt kosher meal followed by a Minyan for Maariv.
Again I ask, were any BMG funds used for this excursion?

The person in the picture being carried on the ski slopes by Yoni Nierenberg & 4 other modern orthodox guys is the CEO Aaron Kotler. It won't be very good for the CEO's back if Elly Kleinman starts expecting the same Royal treatment.
http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/137606/jewish/Fishing-for-the-Facts.htm
Kosher hotels, restaurants and caterers need hefty supplies of boned and sliced fish for cooking, baking, broiling and frying. Until recently, many kosher certifiers allowed hotels, restaurants and caterers under their supervision to use flounder fillets from a European plant supervised by a local rabbi. Last year, however, OK Laboratories discovered that the rabbi provides no constant kosher supervision to check every fish, because he relies on government certification of the plant as one where only flounder is processed. Of course, all kosher certifiers who allowed use of this flounder were informed immediately. OK Laboratories later arranged for a special run of this flounder under constant stringent supervision, costing, though, much more than the usual price for the fish because of the far greater complexity of the supervision.
In another instance, OK Laboratories was asked not long ago about whiting fillets imported from South America to Israel. Since the local rabbi who certifies it there apparently visits the plant only occasionally, OK Laboratories tried to arrange proper supervision with another local rabbi known to be very particular in all details of kashrus. However, his plan for supervision, requiring essential new measures such as the constant presence of mashgichim to check each fish - unavoidably totaled five times the previous price for supervision, and therefore was rejected by the plant's owner. Possibly this fish is still being used by some Israeli hotels, restaurants and caterers usually known for high kashrus standards.
Smoked fish is a separate department. Most people don't realize that smoked whitefish, for example, is first cooked before smoking, creating other kashrus problems. Lox, however, is not cooked before smoking and its supervision presents less problems.
It was always an argument if Rabbi Tibor Stern who certified Hebrew National was a frum guy. Those arguing he was frum would usually win.
http://www.corporationwiki.com/Florida/Hollywood/stern-tibor-8941808.aspx
Someone recently told me he was doing incorporation papers and came across this entry with the State that Stern was an owner of the Conservative hashgacha Kosher Supervision of Broward that was administered by the Conservative rabbi Morton Malavsky.
Billionaire Howard Jonas knows that money talks. He stopped supporting Avi Weiss's shul in Riverdale where he davens because he didn't like the idea of women rabbis which was when Weiss said he will stop ordaining women.
http://www.yctorah.org/content/view/44/49/
His son Davidi Jonas got semicha from Avi Weiss's Yeshivat Chovavei Torah and needed a shul to intern as a rabbi. YCT cannot get their musmachim into Young Israels because they have a psak from R' Hershel Schechter that YCTers are not really orthodox in practice and hashkofa. So how in the world was he able to become rabbinical intern in a Chabad shul, Chabad of the Rivertowns in Dobbs Ferry, NY (Westchester County)? Jonas is good friends with George Rohr who gives hundreds of millions of dollars to Chabad, including seed money for any new Chabad shlichus outpost. Incidentally, the Meshichist Butman family who were the first ones to publicly start the Yechee Adonainu lunacy over 20 years ago are in charge of all the Chabad houses in Westchester.

Those guys who went skiing in Vermont were known as the "Hawaii chevra". It had something to do with a semi scam that was being run through batlonim in yeshiva who got free vacations from unused plane ticket portions of multi-leg flights.
The Ner Yisroel guy who is rov of the shul where R' Lazer Ginzberg has his yeshiva is calling himself the "Vaad Hakashrus of Linden NJ" because he is certifying a whole one store, the Dairy Queen ice cream parlor. There are besides the cholov, treif toppings and items sold in the store that he does not certify. He feels there is "no need to be machmir".

Crazy meshichister in Manchester says that everything he does is chalav akum and bishul akum. It's so illogical that I wonder if it's a prank.
'You know who' at the Queens Vaad tried pushing another one of his bilbulim last week in the form of a hevel va'raik argument that no one kaviyochol can side with Rav Elyashev's psak that the Queens Vaad must restore the kivrei yesomim they desecrated for profit if they don't hold like Rav Elyashev supposedly saying ALL shaytelach are assur. (In his prustkeit & grubkeit he also made inappropriate personal comments about someone's wife)
Many rabbonim have understood Maran's shiur that he is referring to the most expensive custom shaytelach, in say the $3000 to $6000 range, where it is very difficult for ANYONE to tell it is a wig.
http://www1.cs.columbia.edu/~spotter/sheitel/R.Elyashiv.pdf
The fact that Rav Elyashev in this initial teshuva 20 years ago did not asser shaytelach from Indian hair lends credence.
http://www1.cs.columbia.edu/~spotter/sheitel/Sheitel_Psak.gif
Here are Rav Wosner & Rav Karelitz being mattir shaytelach for those whose minhag & rabbonim allow it, as long as they are begeder not prust.
Here you have it folks. 'You know who' at the Queens Vaad is a just a huge dray kop who will say any shtus that advances his shady position for the next two seconds.
Elly & Henry the VIIIth may have other similarities. Old Henry had to have his way with marrying all the women he wanted, so when he couldn't buy off the Vatican with his wealth, he just quit Catholicism and started the Anglican Church of England.

http://www.antiquesreporter.com.au/index.cfm/lot/33715-the-archives-of-rabbi-joseph-lipman-gurewicz-born-in-vilna-in-18/
Archives of Rabbi Joseph Lipman Gurewicz Born in Vilna in 1885, Rabbi Gurewicz arrived in Australia in 1932, becoming the spiritual head of the United Congregations of Carlton. Rabbi Gurewicz was an authority in Halachic matters; in addition, he possessed dynamic leadership skills, was a good Yiddish orator - which was the language of the time in Carlton - and he quickly became fluent in English. He also had phenominal organizational skills, which partly explains why we now have the opportunity to view his files of documents, literally covering all matters related to Judaism and reflecting the variety of issues confronting Melbourne Jewry in the 1930s to 1950s. He kept everything. Of particular importance are the documents illustrating his involvement during the War years in obtaining immigration permits and helping refugees and newcomers settle in Australia. Following his death in 1956, Rabbi Gurewicz's son, Ben-Zion, inherited the archive before Rabbi Ronald Lubofsky, a former rabbi of St Kilda Hebrew Congregation, purchased it in the early 1990s. While the removal of a small number of letters, (mostly to do with correspondence to and from Lithuanian Jewry during the desperate years of World War II), has been widely discussed, the importance and historical value of the large percentage which remains intact and is offered here, has never been in doubt. The archive has now been divided into a number of significant groupings (list available) but it may be useful here to attempt to give an indication of the depth and breadth of the collection. For example, the older Anglo-Jewish 'establishment' in Melbourne was clearly alarmed at the efforts of the newcomers, mainly Russian and Eastern European Jews, to establish their own communal institutions. There was ongoing tension on these matters between the Jewish communities north and south of the Yarra. The Gurewicz files include numerous documents which clearly reflect this unsettled period. In 1937, kosher butchers Smorgon & Co., began exporting kosher meat to the Jewish community in Palestine, then a British Mandate created by the League of Nations. Rabbi Gurewicz caused a great rift in the community after he questioned the status of 'kosher' supervision of the meat in a letter to the Chief Rabbinate in Tel Aviv. The Chief Rabbinate issued a ban on Australian meat and posted notices around the city of Tel Aviv, quoting from Gurewicz's letter. The Melbourne Beth Din, understandably very offended that their authority had been questioned, requested the Chief Rabbi of England, Rabbi Hertz, to vouch for the reliability of their supervision. There are over 100 documents in the files relating to this issue. Rabbi Gurewicz was very much involved in the supervision and distribution of kosher foods. There is much correspondence with regards to kosher wine, cheese, biscuits, sausage casings, oil, butter, etc. He used to visit abattoirs regularly, to oversee proceedings and there are many documents in his own hand-writing, with notes on his observations. Many Carlton residents at that time made their living as 'marketniks' - selling at the nearby Victoria Market. As these traders often dealt with small amounts of money or minor disputes, when disagreements arose they were more than likely to be settled by presenting the case to the rabbi for a 'Din-Torah' or halachic arbitration. At least a dozen such cases can be studied by reference to documents in the archive.
6 arrests of insiders of the Edah Chareidis including the personal gabbai of Dayan Weiss for tax fraud, money laundering and embezzlement of tzedoko funds meant for almonos and their children to pay for the street violence.
The gabbai of Dayan Weiss was just released by a judge due to lack of evidence against him but it's clear that someone is guilty in all this and they have no right to use keren almonos veyesomim for violence which makes them even worse than Dovid Schick from Frankel's shul.
Even Eckstein is reporting this story when he usually suppresses any story of this type.
Arutz Sheva reporting that Bentzion Sobel, the menuval from Nvei is one of the six arrested.
The Hartford Vaad is giving hashgocha later this week at a resort to a Shabbaton of openly gay "frum" Jews.
http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2012/01/haagen-dazs-under-attack-in-israel/
This makes the OU look really pathetic that General Mills is using the OU to belittle anyone who is machmir on cholov Yisroel.
I am the reader who wrote about the Hartford Vaad giving hashgocha to the gay Shabbaton. I know because I read in the paper that a "frum" accountant in my neighborhood who was arrested for being a pedophile has now been convicted and the government has stripped his license to be a CPA. When I looked up his name on the internet I see he is an active member of the gay group making the Shabbaton in a few days. They say on the website that the Hartford Vaad is in charge of kashrus and then lecture people that they should review the halachos of lashon hara in Chofetz Chaim before they come because there will be a number of rabbis attending the Shabbaton "who haven't yet come out of the closet" and it is not permitted to repeat to anyone that they were there.

Spotlight. Please report to us how the Shabbaton went when you come back from attending it. We know your hungry and the kids just can eat anyway. The only shaylaa is if the eishes chayil can attend together with you altz ishto k'goofoy so if your hungry she an go and eat too. Or maybe l'gabay her its maalin v'lo moreedin so she can not go and/or eat.
I think you should send the 'shverah saaleh' to all the poskim in Eretz Yisroel only ( The Rabbonim in America Know nothing anyway - just how to get big salaries (See Spotlight's Droshahs about this 'l'ail)) and choose and pick what sounds convenient to you.
Bon Appetite.
u have a kashe on the Voice? they promote posulle bais din for a few dollars, and you wonder about herbal insects?
Figures that C.S. would encourage going to the gay Shabbaton when Queens Vaad member Rabbi Barry Kornblau signed the pro-gay letter with Avi Weiss.

It says here that the Meal Mart salmonella outbreak was on whole chicken livers (I thought it was chopped liver spread). And because the package was mislabeled as "broiled" even though it also warns in three other places on the label to cook it at high heat, people misunderstood and got sick.
If this is the case then there was no kashrus scandal.

Spotlight missed this one.
He wasn't quick enough to tip off his honchos in EY who control REY's visitors (And hock in with their own comments while REY has conversation with his guest - this is a known fact) that Rabbi Steinberg was coming to talk with him.
For all we know he probably straightened out the mess Spotlight and his cohorts made there concerning the Matzav of American in General and the matzav of the Queens Vaad b'phrat.
Oh well. Spotlight will try to find some other way to ensure that his "MAZIK" reputation does not fade.
Lets see how he does that with his next, 'no one knows who i am', "anonymous" comments
For your info, our contacts close to Rav Elyashev feel that Maran made his point by kicking the Queens Vaad's Chevra Kadisha Drecktor Elchonon Zohn out on his head and there is no hechrach to keep hammering every Queens Vaad shvantz like Steinberg because maybe or maybe not they were one of the ones secretly making death threats to the faces of askanim trying to protect the kivrei yesomim. And that Steinberg signed Belsky's bittul kiddushin? Belsky was forced to pull it back already.
What Maran's contacts are interested in however is something HUGE that will take time to document. We are also trying to raise the thousands of dollars that this endeavor will cost.
And while you are "staying tuned", maybe you can explain how it is justified leshitascha to say lashon horah about the people in the room with Rav Elyashev.
Here he goes again truing to fool us:
"our contacts close to Rav Elyashev feel that...."
"What Maran's contacts are interested in however is something HUGE ...."
"We are also trying to raise the thousands of dollars that this endeavor will cost."
It Speaks for itself. OUR CONTACT...FEEL....
"...CONTACTS ARE INTERESTED...IN SOMETHING HUGE..."
"WE ARE TRYING TO TO RAISE $$$$..."
Spotlight is working to bury the Queens Vaad via "CONTACTS" to BLA BLA BLA...
He said it not us.
Tell us if we drai'ed his words or not. Yeh. Tell us.

This is why the yeshivishe looking nut at the Queens Vaad will attack Rabbi Mendlowitz (UOJ) as a "yemach shmoinick" and all other forms of horrible, nasty stuff.
"Chaval" that someone can actually take a stand where corrupt rabbis do not and save oylamos of precious young kinderlach from molesters.

This is a chiddush of true. I remember when the Villa Roma resort in the Catskills burned down right before Pesach forcing thousands of guests to go to other hotels.
Someone is alleging here that a klutz mashgiach started the fire while kashering with a blowtorch.
say lashon horah about the people in the room with Rav Elyashev.
Were trying to figure out whats a bigger lie?
That the people in Rav Elyashev's room don't mix into conversations that visitors have with the rav
or that the Queens vaad does not give ALL the Queens residents the level of hashgacha that is required?
Rabbi Mendlowitz (UOJ)
Mee samcha L'eesh.
Selfmade "Rabbis" were the foundation of reform Judea-ism.
Mendlowitz (UOJ), spotlight and that whole chevra are following those footsteps to the tee.
It is illegal to bring in one of those torches into a occupied bldg. If you get caught its at least five years in the country club.
The Queens Vaad digs up kivrei yesomim to resell for millions of dollars to freye Russians and throws the bones in the garbage and that is not mafia?
The Queens Vaad threatens the lives of the askonim who exposed them. One of the askonim was even murdered execution style, a murder that was never solved but probably committed by one of the companies profiting with them, and that is not mafia?
The Queens Vaad ignores the gadol hador Rav Elyashev over it and keep lying about the whole sordid affair, and that is not mafia?
The Queens Vaad tries to convince all the hashgochos at the AKO convention to cover up any and all kashrus scandals and that is not mafia?
The Queens Vaad terrorizes their own mashgichim and makes them cry while subjecting them to intense interrogations about who is leaking information about kashrus scandal cover ups, and that is not mafia?
The Queens Vaad tries to force random citizens into their offices for questioning because they heard they don't eat Queens Vaad hashgocho and maybe they are leaking information to outside rabbonim, and that is not mafia?
The Queens Vaad creates an alliance with a shyster Bucharian rabbi to get all of his treifenna restaurants but throw him under the bus when it doesn't work out as planned, and that is not mafia?
The Queens Vaad regularly conducts character assassination of their enemies, competitors and suspected critics whether on this blog, while working the phones or running their mouths all over in person, and that is not mafia?
The Queens Vaad sends their stooges to pressure stores who don't need hashgocho to pay the Queens Vaad fee or we won't shop here, and that is not mafia?
The Queens Vaad pressures the stores already paying their hefty fee (for doing nothing) to also place ads in a propaganda magazine they publish, and that is not mafia?
The Queens Vaad uses the propaganda magazine to attempt to turn the public against rabbonim running blogs that allow for justified criticism of the Queens Vaad, and that is not mafia?
Some of this Queens Vaad garbage is very sinister and has been going on for decades. A lot of the garbage is compliments of a certain immature twit who has long had a problem dealing with people like a normala mentch, predating his arrival at the Queens Vaad.
If you listen to the Queens Vaad idyot, Maran Rav Elyashev must also be a "Reformer" kaviyuchel since they don't give a hoot that he told them in a letter to stop desecrating graves and to restore all the damage already done. The only Queens Vaad response is to lie, threaten, cover up and build a wall around the places to keep witnesses out.
Just listen to the little pisher nobody from the Queens Vaad talk about Rabbi Mendlowitz, a nunter of R' Yaakov Kaminetzky ztl who has finished Shas multiple times but more importantly has saved the lives of thousands of children which the Queens Vaad meshugennah would prefer they keep getting molested.
Just to show you what a sick person we are dealing with at the Queens Vaad, he is from the yechidei "segulah" that you can maybe count on one hand who think that the menuval Mordechai Tendler is "innocent". It must be a huge conspiracy that the Queens Vaad nudnik has uncovered that everyone from YU to the yeshivishe rabbonim to the chassidishe have poskened Tendler is guilty. But the genius at the Queens Vaad has it all figured out that it was a set up. It is the same sick mind that tries to cover up everything else, both in and out of the Queens Vaad.
A mashgiach once got major bizyonos altz klutz. He went to Iceland to give hashgocho on a fish processor. Iceland is by the way a very anti-Semitic country even though the President is nebich married to a Jewish lady from Israel. He caused a huge disaster when he accidentally tipped over a cauldron of boiling hot liquid, burning several people around him. The story made all the newspapers in the country. If any other mashgiach is being sent there, keep in mind that the head of the tiny Jewish community there of less than 100 does not make official appearances unless he has bodyguards with him.

Where's that reader who holds that Hungarians get a free pass because they donate loads of money to yeshivos? Let's hear him farentfer this one ...
A Hungarian family with a bunch of girls who give loads of money to all the mosdos, get honored by all the yeshivos and hold events in their home for all kinds of yeshivos were raising a lot of eyebrows today. The daughters decided it would be fun to shovel the 2 inches of iced over snow, so out they went with shovels in hand - all of them dressed in snow PANTS.
We are talking about snow that does not even reach the ankles. So even practically speaking, are they just a bunch of spoiled brats? Are there any heterim to wear pants? The alter dayan of Zurich, Rav Levy ztl, poskened that when going skiing (the CEO may be interested in this one), women may wear pants if they have a dress or long coat concealing it partially, even if they make no effort to stop them from flying up to completely reveal the pants. Dayan Levy is a daas yochid and in any case the girls were all wearing short waist length jackets and no dress on top. Rav Ovadya Yosef is maykel for a type of pants that is so baggy that it looks like a dress from a distance. No such luck here as they were tight fitting pants.
Sounds like yet another case of Hungarians doing whatever the heck they feel like.
There are so many stories with this particular family, one after another, that it must be clear to the recipient yeshivos that this family has no $haychus to Torah. But why get confu$ed with the fact$?
I stopped going to the siyum hashas a few cycles ago because of the bizayon hatorah the agudah did. because of politics they put a bunch of young chassidishe rabbonim at the front while they shtupped zekenim & geonim in learning mit veisse berd at the back. and to top it all off, they sent margulies up to the bima to be shliach tzibbur for tehillim leinen
Is R' Amram Roth still giving the hashgocho on Mendel's by 18th Ave & 50th St?
Thu Dec 29, 07:29:00 PM 2011
When he was about 15 years ago, the restaurant was caught allowing a goy to be in charge of checking lettuce. A major tumult developed with a bunch of rabbonim involved. The owner started with his vilda conspiracy theories about competitors making up stories against him. Amram Roth wanted to drop the place because he was afraid of getting a bad reputation. In the end when it was verified by witnesses and the owner started threatening people, Amram Roth did not drop the place. Supposedly tikkunim were made and supposedly the heimisha manager who allowed the goy to check was fired. A month later, one of the rabbonim involved came to snoop around and discovered the "fired" manager was still working there. The owner & manager, in addition to the goy, have no ne'emonnis.
"since there is no way that he (Rabbi Mendlowitz / UOJ) will ever be zoiche to anything with all the nevolah that he promoted on his blog"
Who knew that Chaimel, the #1 designator of who is an "apikoiris" , would be a koifer in the 13 ikrei emunah of every mayseh toiv having schar, including 'little insignificant' things like hatzolas nefoshos of innocent childen?
"How nunt could he have been to RYK if he curses out his son, the accepted zkan Rosh Hayesivah in America"
R' Shmuel, a Ner Yisroel boy, is not the "zkan" first of all as there are still some alter Litvaks around (who grada don't carry his "baggage"). It's besides the fact that many consider R' Chaim Epstein shlita as the biggest American bred rosh yeshiva. Sorry that that doesn't fit with your image of Agudah pictorials.
You are making a lot of mistakes here. You never heard that Rav Schach, the #1 fan of the Brisker Rov, was very against learning by the grandson? Or that the Netziv's son Rav Meir Bar-Ilan, the hero of the modern orthodox, was much different than him?
Rabbi Mendlowitz takes issue that R' Shmuel sent a known molester away from Philly to continue molesting at Ner Yisroel. That R' Yaakov was disgusted with the crook Margulies, the former Torah Vodaas bus driver who stole from the yeshiva to start Torah Temimah, yet his own son R' Shmuel lets Margulies get away with murder.
You keep calling Rabbi Mendlowitz an askan when he is a tremendous talmid chochom that you don't reach his ankles, not in learning, not in askonus and not in kashrus. He kimat does not eat meat due to the shechitos available on the West Coast. And even has a problem finding milchdik to eat because California has some "Queens Vaad issues" with shvache hashgochos.
Oh, and your dumb crack about patching the boich is interesting considering that Napoleon always stuck his hand inside his cloak, right over his boich.

The Vaad of Maine is no longer orthodox as a talmid of Avi Weiss who is running it has joined forces with Reform & Conservative women rabbis.
It seems like the Agudah did not learn from their mistake of making Dovid Schick the poster boy for business "ethics".
Agudah trustee and co-Vice Chairman of the Siyum Hashas, the Meridian CEO Ralph Herzka has a long "history" in the lending markets. His Gelt Funding / GFI Capital was raided by the FBI (probably an ironic poail yotzai of Schick massering on them). All or most of the important people there were charged with fraud. Herzka was eventually let off the hook due to lack of evidence. Is that why someone tried to put a bullet in his head by having assassins dress up like Fedex deliverymen?

His shutfim were indicted which was reversed on the technicality that the government waited too long to bring it's case. That was after they pulled the line to the judge that hey, if Rav Isbee from Agudah of Ave L was still alive, he would produce exonerating testimony.
Sounds like a "good fit" when you consider all the shmutz on Siyum Hashas Chairman supreme Elly Kleinman.

The JTA should speak to R' Yudel to get the truth about kashrus in China instead of this whitewash given to them by mashgichim there.
http://www.ateretmedia.org/pdfeng/pdfeng_0048_hecsherim.pdf
Don't believe it. When I stayed at the Intercontinental hotel in Tel Aviv, I asked the mashgiach if there was anything I could eat. He told me everything is fine. Then his wife interrupted and told me there are a bunch of things they personally don't eat. He gave her a dirty look and turned back to me to deny what she just said. I didn't touch anything after that unless it came in a sealed package from Bnei Brak.
Did you hear about the latest Queens Vaad money making racket? Some aniyim have emailed one of the blogs over the weekend alleging that the Queens Vaad is shaking them down for money to get a michtav haskomah to collect tzedokah.
The Queens Vaad Executive Drecktor posted another immature comment last night to cover up for Queens Vaad money making atrocities at the cemeteries, something about kishuf and avoidah zara.
It just so happens that R' Yaakov Kaminetzky called redifas hamammon in America an "avoidah zara mamash".
This would seemingly include executive drecktors doing anything their modern orthodox masters tell them to cover up kashrus and other scandals, all in the name of a fat paycheck. Digging up yesomim, throwing their bones in the garbage and reselling the plots to freya Russians so you can line your pockets with millions of dollars. And now shaking down dalim v'aniyim in the worst economic times since the Great Depression of the 1930s.
To all current and aspiring mashgichim, it's important to know that no one is immune from work related accidents r"l. Hishtadlus is required, and with the help of Hashem, no harm will befall them.
A good start for guidance to mashgichim regarding work safety, can be found here:

"The JTA should speak to R' Yudel to get the truth about kashrus in China instead of this whitewash given to them by mashgichim there".
================================
The article is generally accurate in describing the life of a mashgiach in China who goes from factory to factory. Been there, done that.
The only inaccuracy is regarding the person "Markowitz". I believe that his name is "Moskowitz" http://www.skskosher.com/
Maybe Rabbi Pinchas Lipschutz can check things out before blindly giving a glowing review to honorees at a dinner, even if it is a kollel dinner. In the article on the dinner for Kollel Yismach Moshe, there were two families that got pumped up by the Yated. The Oziels, a powerful family who protected their bar mitzva teacher relative who molested boys for years in the community before he was finally arrested & hauled off to prison. And the repulsive Claude Bitton who has been involved in a number of frauds as well as a spectacularly grotesque scene once in shul in front of the sifrei Torah. He got into a dispute with someone which led to Claude together with his son rolling around on the floor to punch the living daylights out of the fellow with repeated blows to the face and everywhere else. They were going to be banned from ever stepping foot in the shul again but the spineless shul board could not pass the resolution when it went to a vote. This is despite Claude being notorious for making nedavas in front of everyone that he does not make good on. Someone needs to speak up that there is so much fake kavod in this world.
yeah and moskowitz can really be trusted? wasn't he the one with the goji juice scandal?
I once needed to make arrangements to rent a room for a minyan in that Intercontinental hotel. I could not believe how the hotel manager who was a native born Israeli never went to shul and was so veit from any shred of Yiddishkeit that he did not know which days you lein from the Torah. They brought me food from Schnitzel's in Bnei Brak which wasn't bad except that it's the same boring selection for Shabbos and every day of the week. I didn't eat from the Rabbanut but noticed that they are heating up davar lach on Shabbos.
Sun Jan 22, 09:53:00 PM 2012
Did this happen on Spotlight's block (or maybe Rabbeinu's block with Spotlight stalking)?
Or is Spotlight expanding his territory to other boros?

"Sounds like yet another case of Hungarians doing whatever the heck they feel like"
This is the Queens version with mechalelei Shabbos befarhesya who attend Left wing modern orthodox Queens Vaad shuls. One of the these two families is for sure Hungarian. The other one I don't know where they come from.
This story is astonishing that even a YU rabbi from outside Queens complained it is inappropriate. Not that it helped. A Queens Vaad rabbi gives official shiurim at people's homes on Shabbos. The senior rabbi over him already ignored complaints that not everything being served at these home is kosher. The unknown family who drive on Shabbos and sign for pre-planned grocery deliveries every Shabbos by the street, built a nice big sukkah to host the kiddush and shiur one week. It didn't matter that it was also possul right under a huge tree that is 100s of years old. The rabbi forged right ahead with making kiddush and giving the shiur as if nothing is wrong. This baal habos does not even wear a yarmulka.
The Hungarian family is really strange. The husband has been trying to return to "some" of his traditions in the alter heim so he started wearing a black hat and davening in a non-Vaad shul, but don't be fooled his acting. The wife is still the same old prutzah and watering the plants in front of the house when it is assur. Among other things, they would go away for Shabbos, mamash encouraging that their daughter could sleep alone with bochurim in the house which the whole neighborhood knows about. They would send the eidim at 9:30 Shabbos morning to veck for the 9 am shacharis but he was out of luck as the bochurim would first roll out of the house after 11 am looking completely exhausted. The parents are always darshening to everyone that znus before chuppah is 100% acceptable lehalacha with tevilah.
There is another rabbi in Queens who covers up for these heathens because he gets a lot of money from them.
It's one thing to be mechabed people who are not rauy, but to give an official shiur by them????
"every mayseh toiv having schar"

Did you hear about...
Anything that starts with 'Did you hear about....' is going in the direction of the Chofetz Chaim's 'you know where' list.

Spotlight now being featured in

Wow! Seven comments in such a short time today? That's a record even for Chaim Schwartz.
"every mayseh toiv having schar ...
Maybe in this world, but for sure not in the next. He mistamah won't even make it up there. (did ever hear of 'moireedin v'lo maalin')."
You're being megaleh ponim baTayreh sheloi kehalocho. Bring any sefer that says someone who saves toizent Yiddishe kinder ain loi chelek l'oylam Haboah c"v.
"Who send Reb Shmuel to Ner Yisroel?"
Reading comprehension problemmen? I said R' Shmuel sent a molester (Eisemann, who Sheftel Neuberger was eventually forced to remove from the hanhala) to Ner Yisroel from Philly. Not talking about who sent R' Shmuel there when HE was a bochur.
"I think RYK was much nenter to RYR then that Rambam's Apikores claims he was to RYK"
You're not being clear as to why you are dragging Rav Ruderman into this. According to Rabbi Mendlowitz, R' Shmuel did not tell anyone at Ner Yisroel that Eisemann was a molester. He let them discover it on their own. He says that Rav Ruderman eventually was told at the end of his life and R' Hermann Neuberger also figured it out pretty late in the game. When one bochur was mamash finished for complaining he was molested because how dare he make up "tall tales", R' Hermann, who had just figured it out, stopped the bochur's expulsion in the 11th hour.
"the fact that many consider R' Chaim Epstein shlita as the biggest ... Are you really goires what "many consider"? What about all the gedolim that the "many consider" say are gedolim but "pic-n-pay'ed out of?"
As usual, you either are fudging or have missed the boat. You are convinced R' Shmuel is the biggest because of Agudah propaganda. Since R' Moishe & R' Yaakov, the biggest gedolim have always davka not been on the Moetzes. And are you lying or just plain don't know that Maran Rav Schach ztl would defer to R' Chaim Epstein over R' Shmuel's shutef R' Elya? Surely a yeshivishe maniac hocker such as yourself should know all the "raid".
"So your comparing RSK to R' schach grandson? And tell me that your not a m'nuvel apikores?"
Again with your reading comprehension problems. I was talking about the Brisker Rov's grandson, not Rav Schach's, and I am not saying they are the same. I am saying that from dor to dor, they are not always following in the footsteps exactly.
"RYK was disgusted with RGS too. Does that make RGS....Chas v'sholom??"
Oy, the politics with R' Gedalya Schorr greatly pale in comparison to the tinef that "Margo" is. R' Yaakov said that the gantz Torah Temimah is geboit oif sheker and geneyvos and will not have a kiyum levasof. And this is before Margo protected Kolko to molest for 30 years. Dreitzig yohr! And that Margo the mushchess is a mesarev la'din by numerous batei din including the special Agudah beis din headed by R' Shmuel. Noch alla myssos, the Agudah still gives kuved to Margo. The Agudah is corrupt and have all kinds of selfish agendas why.
"Its a real shame that azah frummer wont be going to the "super world" to come. He'll be pretty disappointed - unless he asks mechilah AND GETS IT from all those Gedolim and stam people that he baa'red, baa'shmootzed etc."
Can't answer on ALL the people he attacked but he zicher has a recht for a lot of them. No one is going to get away anymore with sweeping the Torah along with the molested kids under the carpet. Mi samchoi l'ish? B'mokom sh'ain ish yishtadail lihiyos UOJ.
Are you going to deny that the Queens Vaad charges money to aniyim to issue them a michtav haskomah to collect? Or we are just getting more beating around the bush from you ve'zehu?
Is there any toeles from this comment or is it just gossip, true or untrue?

Lo lechinam holech hazarzir ...
The Agudah keeps associating with & honoring one shvantz after another involved in criminal activity but the Queens Vaad nudnik is playing dumb that no one could ever imagine it's unbecoming. Are you in the running for Avi Shafran's job now?
I don't vouch for R. Moskowitz, nor do I give public endorsements to anyone. I just stated that the description of the life of a mashgiach in China is pretty accurate.

So here you have guys. The Shaigetz blows off once again.
"the only place in Queens with a non YU shul thats not a shtieble"
What kind of an executive drecktor are you? You don't even know all the places in Queens? Donald Trump would say "you're fired!"
"The Shaigetz blows off once again"
The Queens Vaad's "Napoleon" doesn't have what to answer, so he calls out nasty names and moves on to his next bilbul.
"no Reshaim left behind said..."
That's Chaimel Schwartz doing a play on words from "No child left behind".
One "slight" problem with that is he is an ACHZAR who completely disregards the plight of molested children who are ruined for life which is why the poskei hador write that the molesters have a din rotzchim.
He has a sick agenda to protect his employers the Agudah and Queens Vaad which means to pretend that no child has ever been molested by the monsters they are trying to protect.
Correction:
...which is why the poskei hador
write...
Should read:
which is why MY poskim of MY Dor supposedly said (but never wrote)....
Dayan Silman from Rav Wosner's beis din in Bnei Brak writes a teshuva in Yeshurun, volume 15 starting at page 661 that molesters have a din rotzchim because they ruin the child for life:

Chaim of course knows about this teshuva but in his achzoriyus he denies it because it's bad for business when you work for corrupt groups like the Agudah & Queens Vaad who cover up for child molesters.
