Todays wigs/ sheitels




I don't want to bother now responding to the first two comments here -

much less to repeat what Rav Chaim Kanievsky has to say about that so called hareidi "big-hole" website which distorted his words and intentions outrageously. Some things are better left unsaid to the overall public... 
And the second commenter can make do on fresh
fruits, vegetables, and homemade bread if he actually believes what he
writes. Especially when those giving the meaningless "hechsher" on
wigs admitted THEMSELVES that their supposed "supervision" was
seriously flawed, and that "no hechsher on food products would use
these same standards ever"...
Someone who was tripped up in eating nonkosher food r"l would have
done harm to himself, and the leave a negative ripple-effect on the
Klall. A woman who goes out with a typical modern day wig is
IMMEDIATELY harming herself and others who glance at her. What's more
- most slip-ups in kashrus are done unintentionally out of sheer
negligence and/or monetary interests. 
A married woman going out in public with her modern day wig is, by contrast, INTENDING to create acertain sensation around her, which - whether she understands this or not - inevitably leads others to sinful thoughts, R"L.
When Eliezer came to Lavan's house Lavan ran out and invited him in.
He assured him "I've cleaned out my house from avoda zara!" Have we
sunken today to the level of BRINGING IN the same filth that Lavan
threw out??!! When she lights the Shabbos licht and says a heartfelt
tefillah she is "adorning" herself the whole while with avoda zara
filth! 


When her husband says Kiddush, bentches her children, sings
zemiros, and says Bircas Hamazon - he is facing avoda zara filth the
whole while! when she goes to shul on Yom Kippur she brings the
"finest shearings of the Balaji temple" with her! 
Does the reader
fully comprehend what is going on here??

KCL -encourages the intermarriage crisis, by allowing Barkan wines-thanks KCL





STOP- Don't use Barkan wines, Don't add to the intermarriage crisis.

The Eidah Jerusalem refused to grant their certification, due to the Ethiopians working there .
According to all Poiskim, the Ethiopians require a conversion aka "Geirus ki'halacha" .

Therefore, everyone stopped drinking the Barkan Wines and are disposing of what they have already purchased. KCL allows Barkan and encourages "Intermarriage".


IS BARKAN WINE KOSHER?

Rav Shmuel Wosner, OB"M re: infestation "whom to ask"


Many newspapers, magazines, etc publish recipes with a misguided disclaimer;

"Many ingredients are prone to infestation. Please ask a local Rav for guidance re: infestation". 

According to Rav Shmuel Wosner, the Local Rav is not the one to ask re: infestation or any area of kashrus, you must ask only an expert in infestation or kashrus.

Rav Shmuel Wosner, זצוק"ל stated on more than occasion that the  רמ"א ש"ע יו"ד סימן ס"ד סעיף ז " וסדר ניקור אלו החלבים צריך ראיה מן הבקי בניקור , ואי אפשר לבאר היטב בספר" 

Rav Wosner said this halachah is for every area in kashrus, one is to ask the "expert in that area" not the Ruv. 

Rav Wosner said that the Ruv is to sit in the Bais Medrash and obtain from the "mumcha / expert" the facts, and דער רב איז נישט דער מומחה, דער רב קען געבען דער פסק לוט דאר מציאות וואס דער מומחה שטעלט אראפ .

The ר"ן among others state that the opinion of the מומחה outweighs all others, no matter how many disagree with him.

A man may not extend their hand to one of the opposite sex.

From an Email:

While visiting a large manufacturing facility where the CEO was a woman, she extended her hand to me in a welcome to our facility. I responded in not extending my hand in return.

At the after visit inspection, there was a meeting in the conference room with the Company executives including of course the woman CEO. At that point the CEO stated that she felt that I disrespected her as a woman by not extending my hand in return. I was taken aback, as I was sure that they realize that Rabbis do not extend their hand to a woman.

I responded that, on the contrary because of our high regard for women as it says 
כל כבודה בת מלך פנימה , we regard the woman as Royalty, not every commoner may extend their hand to a woman of Royalty. Protocol by the Queen of England is not to extend your hand to the Queen.

BTW, Kosher certifiers in general instruct their personnel not to extend their hand to women. Re: responding to a Woman who extends her hand, there are differences with the various Kashrus Organizations.

The Aguda party in Israel should have responded to the Israeli Supreme Court as above "Royalty does not run in elections".
