WATCH: Kosherica launches ‘Yeshiva week’ "treif" cruise?

Kosherica cruises has been machshil thousands in not providing kosher according to any standards.

Why Do the  Rabbis sanction these non-kosher cruises? 
Isn't it embarrassing that all of the Miami, Lakewood,  OU affiliated Rabbis are allowing this scandal 

Can someone like Rabbis Weil (OU), Schneier, Riskin, Heir, Herring, Lipskar arrange an "OU" Hashgocha at least?

Why doesn't the "OU" send their own staff on the cruises to witness the kashrus disaster.

Warning: Unqualified Shatnez Testers at Work!!

 

Warning: Unqualified Shatnez Testers at Work!! ­ Dear friend,   I hope this message finds you well! Recent findings highlight the crucial need to use only qualified shatnez laboratories for testing. Below, you can see the leftover linen in a Hugo Boss woolen suit, resulting from an unqualified shatnez tester's "shatnez removal". The shatnez suit was then worn for an extended period! Similarly, Vaad L'Mishmeres Shatnez recommends that all rekelach and bekeshes be properly tested, rather than blindly assuming they are free of shatnez concerns. The unfounded belief that they cannot contain shatnez should not be part of a True Torah Jew's mindset. ­ It is essential to have your shatnez testing done only at a qualified shatnez laboratory. Proper garment testing can be very challenging and should only be conducted by a qualified shatnez laboratory. The following is a list of recommended shatnez laboratories in the Lakewood-Toms River, New Jersey vicinity: Shatnez Test Center 732-901-8378 Lakewood Shatnez Laboratory 732-364-7056 Shatnez Lab of Manchester 414-334-8706

UPDATE -Kashrus Alert! Re: Hisachdus Harabonim of Brooklyn {CRC}

 Hisachdus Harabonim of Brooklyn; Are allowing chocolate from a חלב עכו"ם manufacturer and being used in Parve chocolate without kashering.

Mashgichim have notified the Hisachdus Harabonim of Brooklyn;  numerous times that Danishes, etc. with their Hashgocha that are milchig are coming to hotels, etc. without being marked properly, and they are being used after fleishig meals. 

 Hisachdus Harabonim of Brooklyn; Allows bakeries to use the same ovens for cheese cakes, cheese pastries and Parve without a proper cleaning and kashering.

BTW- the Orginzatsye Hashguchas i.e. OU doesn't allow kashering chocolate factories from milchig to parve.

They don't allow bakeries to bake dairy cheese and parve in the same oven.

Reb Shraga Feivel Mendelowitz's vision and foresight of BMG's KCL- AKA Kehilas Chareidim - Lakewood- "The same bluff"

 KCL, said for 15 years, that the Manalapan kosher chinese express (treif) is recommended!! Now they will lie about it!  thanks KCL"

"Going off the derech is always caused by a lack of kashrus"

The author of the basic following article was the great gaon and tzaddik Rabbi Shraga Feivel Mendelowitz OB”M, founder of Yeshiva Torah Vodaas.  Re: KCL;

And if I say: ‘I will not make mention of him nor speak anymore in his name’ then there is in my heart a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I weary myself to hold it in, but cannot. (Jeremiah 20:9)

I use the above prophetic words as a preface to my article concerning kashrus, because this article will not bring honor to me. On the contrary, I will be attacked with ridicule from many sides. But what can I do? A fire is burning within me and hopefully within thousands of Jews like me…A fire, which cannot be extinguished.

The Kashrus question has recently been discussed in the Yiddish press, but only one side of the question, viz. concerning unscrupulous purveyors & butchers who sell treifos or questionable products without a reliable hechsher or with a false one.

The religious press is silent about this problem, perhaps because of the honor of the Rabbis, or, perhaps, because of other …. reasons. The honor of the Rabbis is dear to me too. But, the honor of the Torah which is lying in the garbage, and the honor of the truth, which is trodden under foot, is dearer to me. Where there is Chilul-Hashem we do not impart honor to a Rabbi, I, therefore come forward with an accusation.

I Accuse!

I accuse many Rabbis, Kosher certifiers & their Rabbis, who grant hechsherim, who knowingly or otherwise, or out of neglect, permit insects & non-kosher meat & other allegedly kosher products to be processed & sold under their stamp of approval both wholesale & retail; the seller is an unscrupulous person with a Torah sanction.

I accuse!

Many Rabbis & Roshei Yeshiva, who although they themselves have no part in the hechsherim, nevertheless, know about them & still remain silent, at times may even be indirectly sanctioning them. There is a sort of mutual reciprocal agreement to keep quiet & sanction each other including their false hechsherim. Perhaps it’s because they wish to avoid Chilul-Hashem. They forget that where there is Chilul-hashem we do not impart honor to a Rabbi etc.

I accuse!

The very great Rabbis, Roshei Yeshiva, the leaders of our people, because of internal strife. These disputes are not for the sake of heaven; if one says something is prohibited the other must say it is permissible, if one says something is contaminated the other must say it is pure (vidu’y Erev Yom Kippur). It is impossible to bring order & reliability to the chaotic kashrus situation, especially & including the kashrus standards of infestation checking, meat and poultry.

I accuse!

The Rabbis, Roshei Yeshiva etc. because of whose negligence; the laws of chalav- akum have virtually been forgotten. I know that there were (not any more, due to chalav treifa) various heterim for this, but they apply only when it is i m p o s i b l e to obtain chalav-yisroel. In our situation, however, with a little concerned effort of the individuals, order could be brought to this chaos, and “if one can be good, why should he be bad?”

I accuse!

Our orthodoxy, for sleeping the sleep of Choni Ha’Maagil, who slept seventy years. They are completely unaware of what is happening around then and how our strongest ramparts are being smashed by our internal foes. They are unaware that all our holy traditions & takanos are being trampled underfoot, that our three thousand year old heritage has all but completely disappeared. Yet, Orthodoxy sleeps, but how much longer?

I accuse!

Our orthodoxy, do you know that all of the fortresses of Judaism, which have heretofore protected us from destruction, the only one left is kashrus, that other mitzvos are observed very laxly even in orthodox homes? And now kashrus too is being smashed!? Yet we sleep, but how much longer?

I accuse!

The very great Rabbis, Roshei Yeshiva, Rabei-im & Menhalim etc. don’t you see what has become of your youth? Don’t you know that Jewish children have become tramps, gamblers, gangsters, candidates for the electric chair, and all kinds of “ist’s” only because they have been raised on insects, neveilos & treifos R”L, yet you sleep, but how much longer?

Don’t you know that going to the mikvah every day to purify yourself will be to no avail? Not even all the waters in the world can help, with a sheretz-tamei (a carcass of a creeping thing), not in your hand, but inside of you! And when you daven every morning and evening, or when you learn your daily shiur or seder, don’t you know that the breath that emanates from your mouth is the breath of sin? Because it reeks of insects, neveilos & treifos!

Yet you sleep, but how much longer? When you wash your hands for bread, or when you make Kiddush on Shabbos, and your table is bedecked with all sorts of delicacies, and you say with each bite, “in honor of the Shabbos”, you are angering hashem when you break bread. Yet you sleep, but how much longer?

I know that you will reply, “ Jacob is small & poor”. But look what Jacob’s brother on East Broadway has accomplished, how he erected a fortress through the poor laborers, a fortress against Judaism, because he has united forces. Yet you sleep & do nothing, but how much longer?

Gentleman! Do a little soul searching and see how far you have strayed; remember that our parents have sacrificed their lives for Kiddush hashem; they allowed themselves to be burned in order to uphold our holy Torah, whereas you are not required to make any sacrifices; with but a handful you can save the situation and our youth, Yet you sleep, but how much longer?

Fellow Jews, have you no fear for the great and terrible Day of Judgment? In that day you will no longer be able to come up with excuses (I didn’t know) or with a shrug of the shoulder.
(R’ Shraga Feivel Mendelowitz Z”L)

And I ask you “how much longer?” And I say, “you sleepers, awaken from your slumber!”

KCL-CATERING STANDARDS QUESTIONED?

The following article appeared in the past in an English Magazine  (reprinted with some clarification.)

Catering Standards Questioned? Invited to an affair under the supervision of a Lakewood's yeshiva [ KCL] established  “Hashgocha” , but which was being held in a non-kosher facility, we went into the kitchen to look around and to compare notes with the Mashgiach. we were not prepared for what we found.

More disappointing was it to learn that the “Rabbonim” who certified the  [KCL]  never visited any of their certified establishments. The affair under their certification which was being held in a non-kosher facility.

KASHRUS recently discovered a number of such organizations where the “Rabbonim” themselves have never seen the operation which they certify, but instead rely totally on the head “Mashgiach” or on their Kashrus Administrator to make all “halachic” decisions.

This letter, basically unchanged, was mailed to all of the “Rabbonim” in the Lakewood  KCL kashrus organization. As of our printing we have not received any reply.  

Dear Rabbi ........ BS”D

In Kashrus Hashgochas, What's worse- "Ignorance" or "apathy"?

  KCL says "We don't know 

and We don't care!  

(Re: How to run a successful Kashru$ Organization)

From a comment;

What’s the story with the Milchiger = Kosher? Corrupt Restaurant in Howell NJ behind Amazing Savings called Ottimo Cafe?
They have the KCL = Stands for Kosher? Corrupt?? Lousy no hashgocho? 

Do they have a mashgiach temidei, the one I saw who claimed to be the Mashgiach temedei looked like a Am Ha’aretz and a Shaygetz with a Pepsi Yamalka. When I spoke with the KCL, the guy who answered the phone realized I had a point, and I told him there are serious Kashruth violations in the KCL when a restaurant does not have hashgochoh temedis. He did not answer when I asked him how often does the KCL administrators make unannounced check ups at this establishment.

During the time I was there, one and a half hours,, no Jew/yid stepped foot in the kitchen and good heimisher and chassidische yidden went there and ate. There was a large function in the back hall of this place. A simcha and who is asking questions? What a Shanda and scandel.

Who does bedikas Toylay’im at this establishment? Suggest people should be more vigilant when frequenting “Kosher” establishments who don’t have any standards for hashgochoh. May the KCl who I understand now, has no standards and is totally hefker.

SBD-Sephardic Bais Din hashgocha on meat is not for Sfardim- SBD veal is not for ashenazim either, SHOULD KASHER UTENSILS IF USED

 Of course, unless you use KCL Hashgochas for Meat & Poultry, then SBD is not any worse, I.E. JERUSALEM GLATT

SBD veal SOLD IN JERUSALEM GLATT, LAKEWOOD is not for ashenazim either, SHOULD KASHER UTENSILS IF USED

Star-K and Tartikuvs' Yechiel Babad are a (scam) not a reliable Hashgocha- Reb Moshe Shternbuch

All of Rav Shterbuchs Pisakim are still in effect, just like all of our Torah is passed on with the Mesorah.

The Halachic rulings don't expire with time. Update: Reb Yudel spoke to Rav Shterbuch's ainekel when he was by his zaida (3 years ago), and he confirmed that the letter is still valid just like all of his other Teshuvas written over the years.

Is the olive oil you buy really extra virgin? Inside the $16 billion fraud problem

 Associated with the Mediterranean diet, heart health, longevity, and anti-inflammatory nutrition, true extra virgin olive oil is rich in polyphenols, antioxidants, and healthy monounsaturated fats linked to reduced cardiovascular risk.

     

The issue has become so widespread that experts now describe olive oil fraud as one of the most profitable forms of food adulteration globally, worth an estimated $16 billion worldwide.

Is the Olive Oil You Buy Really Extra Virgin? Inside the $16 Billion Fraud Problem. According to research from the UC Davis Olive Center in 2023, approximately 69% of imported olive oils labeled “extra virgin” in the United States failed to meet IOC or USDA quality standards in certain testing evaluations. That finding shocked many consumers because olive oil is generally viewed as a premium, trustworthy health product.

How Olive Oil Fraud Actually Happens

The most common form of adulteration involves diluting olive oil with cheaper refined oils such as sunflower or soybean oil.

Some producers then add chlorophyll or coloring agents to imitate the appearance of authentic extra virgin olive oil.

True extra virgin olive oil contains beneficial compounds largely absent from heavily refined or diluted products, meaning consumers may lose many of the health benefits they believe they are purchasing.

Authentic extra virgin olive oil should be mechanically extracted without excessive heat or chemical processing, preserving natural antioxidants and polyphenols responsible for its characteristic peppery flavor and anti-inflammatory properties.

CONSUMER FRAUD! After Moshiach the Chazer (PIG) will become MUTTER, not the SBD's Beef, Veal, including the Alle South American beef.

ALERT! Shatnez notice "Bnei-Torah" suits

 

Shatnez suit sold at Toms River event ­ Dear Friend,   It's essential to exercise caution and test for shatnez your wool garments and linen garments. Polyester suits should also be tested, as shatnez has been found in them too. Failure to do so can result in your wearing of shatnez! A Ricercato brand woolen men's suit sold during the recent Igud Bnei Torah sale in Toms River, New Jersey, was found to be shatnez.

The image above shows a linen-blend taper reinforcement, as used in the Ricercato-Igud Bnei Torah woolen suit.  Rabbi Yosef Sayagh, a shatnez tester from Lakewood and a leading expert in the field, notes that other tested Ricercato suits were shatnez-free, featuring non-shatnez taper reinforcements. This illustrates the inconsistency in suit manufacturing; a shatnez-free suit doesn't guarantee that another similar suit will be the same. Rabbi Sayagh also mentioned that shatnez generally occurs in multiple suits within a batch, rather than in just one suit.
