Lakewood V. Passaic kashrus

Lakewood Groceries don't sell any cholv akum/stam (aka= treif) items, e.g Dannon, etc.
Passaic Groceries are allowed to sell Dannon products.

(Btw- Last Pesach in one of the Passic groceries they had the (treif) dannon pesach & non-pesach mixed up & many people bought unknowlingly the non-pesach-The store was allegedly "didn't notify anyone"-(their computer was able to trace everyone) why not?)

Are the Yeshiva leit of Lakewood more mehadir in their kashrus or is Passaic less?

Passaic has enough modern orthodox and tons of baalei teshuvah that there is a market for it. They also have Gornish on restaurants over there which is pathetic once they are already importing a hashgocho.

dannon is not making for Pesach this year. will there be enough cholov yisroel to compensate?

Dannon is owned by the Danone mishpocho who are Sefardim from Bulgaria. Maybe you can be mashpiah on them to make cholov Yisroel?

I hope Andrew Gordimer at the OU doesn't argue against you.

what's the REAL story? said...

Do you have a son or son-in-law in Passaic?
What do you care what goes on there?
And if you do - There are plenty other local towns with Hashgachas that are not up to your snuff. why did you pick Passaic??

"Passaic Groceries are allowed to sell Dannon products".

Who "allowed" them?

It should read:
Lakewood Groceries don't sell any cholv akum/stam... Passaic groceries do sell cholv akum/stam...

"Are the Yeshiva leit of Lakewood more mehadir in their kashrus or is Passaic less?"

The Yeshiva leit in Passaic are NOT the ones buying Dannon.

The "pshat" is that in Passaic there are non-yeshiva leit who don't subscribe to everything that appears on this website...

Passaic groceries are allowed to cary many other items that a lakewood grocery wouldn't dear cary.

They must have a balabatishe yeshivaleit not like lakewood with all the guys that would make a tumult. Passaic is passive like sardines in a can.

what is Embarrasing to Lakewood is that Passaic Which is supposedly a more "modern" "Balai Batishe" crowd puts lakewood to shame when it comes to dealing with people who are Mesariv Ledin Passaic has a zero tolerance policy for anyone who is a Mesariv Ledin or is a Lo Tzayis Ledinah such a person or family is not allowed into any of the shuls or schools in Passaic and is shunned by the entire community eventualy they end up leaving Passaic contrast that to Lakewood where being a Mesariv Ledin is almost considered a Chashivus

Passaic Yeshiva Ketana Fired Moshe Bursztyn from his 4th Grade job as soon as they found out that he was a Moser and a Mesariv Ledin the it seems that he now goes around substituting and tutering in Lakewood where they do not seem to be aware of his status or perhaps they are put under pressure by his uncle Gavriel Finkel who incidently agrees that his nephew is a Mesariv Ledin

Lakewood sells from the nirabater. Now I ask you; who has the " frumer " community ?!?

When the child molester Stefan Colmer, who Ohel was covering up for, moved from Flatbush to Passaic, the rabbonim in Passaic did the right thing and actually announced in the shuls to identify him so that people could protect their children.

Colmer then fled Passaic for Israel. Rabbi Feivy Mendlowitz tracked him down over there as using the alias "Dovid Cohen" (Ohel's posek) and had him arrested. Colmer was extradited back to NY and served time at Riker's Island from where he was calling rabbis in hashgochos to ask prison kashrus questions.

Colmer has recently been paroled. Note that in at least 99% of cases, pedophilia is such a sickness that they cannot stop themselves from molesting in the long run even with treatment.

Bursztyn pressed charges agianst his tennent because he claimed his tennent owed him money and that he insulted him

I CAN TELL YOU ONE THING, I VISITED KOSHER CONNECTION IN PASSAIC WHICH IS THE NICEST AND LARGEST KOSHER GROCERRY STORE IN PASSAIC, (GREAT PRICES TOO) AND COULD NOT FIND ANY ITEMS THAT WHERE NOT CHOLOV YISROEL, EVERYTHING IN THAT STORE WAS ONLY CHOLOV YISROEL.

SO THERE YOU GO, PASSAIC DOES SEEM TO BE A MUCH FRUMER COMMUNITY THEM LAKEWOOD.

ALL THEE ABOVE IS SAID: WITH ALL DUE RESPECT TO THE SO CALLED YESHIVA'S HA OLOM IN LAKEWOOD, LETS NOT TALK HOW SOME (OR MANY) OF THEIR WIVE'S DRESS... I PUBLIC.

So the so called Rabbi will "get some more Gan eden" for killing another Jew on his own agenda.

where was Fivi himself when he was a teen-ager why did he rebel????

Sicko C.S. is attacking Rabbi Mendlowitz for doing the right thing al pi Hatorah again. If Colmer is so "innocent", then why did R' Shmuel Berenbaum asset him from stepping foot in Mirrer yeshiva and why were the Passaic rabbonim machriz against him? Colmer was also molesting in Bradley Beach. He even has groysa payos just like his defender.

Feivy was not the Mendlowitz who went off the derech at one point. That was his cousin.

Tznius from MANY of the Kolell wives is much to be desired

He was looking to get abused.

Spotlight on Kew Gardens said...

Here in Kew Gardens we have no issues with the local supermarket. Its not under any supervision so as long as he carries what his customers want - Kosher or not - hes OK.
No one is saying that he sells non kosher stuff but.......

Lefferts said...

Chaim, if you have a problem with Rosenblum's supermarket in Kew Gardens not paying the shake down money to the Queens Vaad, then why do you and your bosses shop there? Only they vos halten zich der "Malchus" are allowed to break VHQ choik veloi yaavoir when it is convenient?

Anonymous said...

"That was his cousin."

He is also ah einikel - If einikel only do what the zaideh did as Spotlight and his 'off the derech' chevrah claim, you can draw your own conclusion of what the think about the zaideh ( other then for the own 'krume' agendas)

Anonymous said...

Most people shop in supermarkets such as 'stop & shop' etc for sale items or for items that they won't get ripped off as they do in the heimisheh places (which are in turn ripped off by the 'heilgeh' whoesalers who NEVER mislead the Kew Gardens oilom HaM'zaifim such as Spotlight.
Anyway, Rosenbloom mistameh gives the boss a bit less of a discount then he gives Spotlight so that they both should not give him trouble.
The Boss may get the discount so that they won't insist that he only carry Strictly afordable kosher stuff.
And Spotlight gets the bigger discount so that he should not concoct stories about him.

Qveens said...

Wow! Even Chaimel admits his bosses at the Queens Vaad will overlook corruption to get a discount at a store.

He said it.
