Alert: (Lakewood) Politically-correct kashrus is not for Bnei-Torah!


Background; Rav Dr. Isaac Breuer, Z” L , when announcing his opening of the highly respected KAJ Kashrus, he stated, “I am opening a kashrus Organization that will adhere to “basic kashrus standards with no chumras and no hidurim.” 
The reason is, he said, “Eventually, you might be left with chumras & hidurim but no basic kashrus”. 

Bnai-Torah / Yeshiva Leit is looking for quality products with a reliable kashrus standard with no chumras & hidurim.
****************************************************************
An individual with potential and some knowledge in kashrus put out a Hashgacha info sheet at Lakewood weddings / simchas, which punctuates his "politically-correct" type of kashrus, but a lack of "basic knowledge".

We will try to highlight some of the issues.

1-NPGS Meyuchad is not an acceptable "Bais-Yosef".
Solomon's Bais Yosef & fishel's are true Bais Yosef.
He opted not to use the real Bais-Yosef-

2-Positive & Kosher Garden bi'hashgocha of Rav Vaye & R' Goldstein who are expert mumchim in infestation. Rav Katz is familiar with infestation, but not an expert per se.
Evidently the "mashgiach" is unaware of what constitutes an expert/Mumcha in infestation. Can one rely on all of the other items requiring "expertise in infestation".

3-Coca Cola with OU on the Cap or label is 100% for Bnei Torah. Did the mashgiach want to stick it to R' Gavriel Finkel,? (Rebetzin Kotler's uncle)

4- Beer Mayim, even with the Hashgocha is not a first choice for Bnei Torah.

5- USA Sprite is fully acceptable for Bnei Torah.

6- Did he really understand what is require for Bishul Yisroel?

7- Poultry- He did not use the NPGS Meyuchad brand. He should have used the most mehudar poultry brand -Birdsboro.

8- Baked items- He should have used the Mehudar bakery "Hershey's".

9-Fish- He is unaware that the "fish list" is inaccurate and not for Bnei Torah. He could have used Fishing Line's fish.

10- Wines- Could have been mehader and use Schwartz's, Armon, Carmel, etc.

11- No chumras, no hidurim, what about basic kashrus? Etc.

These fish mongers missed the boat. These fish mongers located in Lakewood and Monsey put out this "fish list" as you see they wrote in the wedding standard. Their knowledge about kashrus in general is very limited and not reliable. It's based on "if you say that worms in fish is
ossir, then everything you certify is acceptable as mehadrin products. If not you are not acceptable at all. That's a very twisted standard.


All of them are allowing herring which has worms. The Eidaha's fish worms were found, Revach's fish also. CRC, Hisachdus, Tartikuv, Volover are not makpid on worms in fish.

These fish mongers don't have any "Mesorah" and are just hockers, tummlers, but not to be relied upon.

They made big campaigns for Farm Fresh supermarket just because he carried the Eidah's products. How many people were deceived in kashrus and financially by the fish mongers to purchase at that store. check it out.


Besides White fish and salmon, etc. the whole issue of worms in fish is questionable. Most Certifiers are mattir the fish.

Wasn't this by the Rosh Yeshiva's Reb Malkiel's recent chasunah?

Was it also by Reb Yeruchim's chasunah?

Zomicks bakery, nothing comes sealed- great hashgocha.

Chumras and hidurim you surely did not have, I'm afraid kashrus also not.

Back to KCL.

When did he kasher the place?

It would take a week just to clean it.

You can fool some of the people all the time,

You can fool all of the people some of the time.

In Lakewood, you can fool all the people all the time.

R' Gavriel Finkel, ob"m, used to have something to do with Coca Cola OU.

Oh boy, Reb Malkiel's Rebetzin (R' Gavriel's niece) is going to go after this Benjio guy.

Tzli-Aish, al ha'sakin.

Zomicks was closed by the NYC health Dept.for heavy infestation.

Zmicks has no clear separation of milchig and PArve, good enough for Rabbi Benjio.

Zeev should be forced to comply with standards for charedim. His outward appearance and demeanor is no substitute for a impartial mashgiach!If he continues business as usual his Non Profit Grocery Store should be boycott

Bikitzur, KCL is definitely not for Bnei torah.

Is it for Bnei torah that went to work that moisdois in Lakewood don't take their children?

Who's that mashgiach?
I think it says benjio, yitzchok, whom ever that is?

I think all of those that he's advertising on his list, give him "bak'shish", chabar, mullah, etc.

he's right for publicizing his sponsors.

Zomicks sends unsealed items with a גוי to all there bakerys

I think I know this fella, he'll do for the buck whatever any KCL fella does, so why blame him?.

you ask, did he kasher? he's a KCL man, so you just have to be able to breath and show that you are alive.

I heard that, not all the wines were mivushal.

This benjio cat is funny, he's advertising with phone numbers some of his sponsors.

The hashgochas and food establishments that give him work get's advertised, nothing to do with kashrus.

Why didsn't he publicize the big sponsor KCL?

To be exact it was the Nassau County Health Dept that closed Zomick's who added it was the worst infestation they'd ever seen with live creepy crawlies even on the preparation tables during preparation!

The shameless pulpit rabbis in the 5 Towns were so dishonest when that scandal hit the fan it made people want to vomit even without assistance from the bugs & bird droppings.

Previously the worst known infestation scandal was Weiss bakery on 13th Ave under Sachdis & Vien in the late 90s when NYC padlocked them. But the Zomick's metzius was much worse.

בשנת תשע"ג כשעלה הנושא של גזירת גיוס השמד,
מרן הרב שטינמן זצ"ל אמר לפרסם בכל מקום,
א, איסור גמור ללכת לצבא
ב, על ההורים לשמור ולהשגיח על הילדים שלא ילכו לצבא.
ג. אסור לח"כים ולעסקנים להרשות להם לקחת.
ד. חייבים למסור את הנפש על זה וללכת לכלא, להיהרג או לברוח מארץ ישראל. הרב שטינמן זצ"ל אומר שאסור להרשות להם לקחת אז איך הח"כים הבוגדים מוכנים למסור להם. מכסות ויעדים אימתניים של 54,000 בחורים ואברכים חרדים?!

I thought this website prides itself on accuracy?

How can you say as a blanket statement that Sachdis is allowing worms? Avadda they are assering any worms that are the size of a humpback whale or larger.

I have found the following point to be true.
Whenever someone starts using 'mesoirah' in a halachic discussion, they usually have no halachic basis. מסורת סייג לתורה but for these people, pseudo mesoira is a substitute for Torah.
