The Rosh Yeshiva, Reb Shnuer Kotler, Z"L personally appointed R' Yudel Shain as the Mashgiach in charge of kashrus in the Yeshivas kitchen.
Reb Shnuer, Z"L appointed R' Yudel Shain in the presence of Reb Noson Wachtfogel, Z"L the Mashgiach. The Mashgiach, Reb Noson told Reb Shnuer that he had some concerns re: the kashrus reliability in the kitchen The Rosh Yeshiva and Mashgiach.
Reb Shnuer, Z"L told the Mashgiach to call in yudel shain. Reb Shnuer asked yudel shain to please accept the responsibility of the kashrus in the yeshivas kitchen.
The second day on the job yudel shain was of the opinion that a key frum person in the kitchen must be laid off. Reb Shnuer & Reb Noson, Z"L concurred and accepted the employees resignation immediately.
Reb Yudel Shain remained the Yeshivas kashrus mashgiach for a number of years, till he left the kolel of the yeshiva. Yudel shain made all of the decisions re: kashrus and only answered to Reb Shnuer, Z"L.
As Reb yudel himself indicates, Reb Shneur gave him the job because he needed a parnooseh. As soon as he 'left Kolel' (ie got a job) he was 'ous mashgiach'.
ReplyDeleteThe nasty lurkers must be "hard at work" racking their "brains" to "figure out" how Yudel "must have been" monetizing "$$$" his appointment by the Rosh Yeshiva & Mashgiach zichronam livrocha.
ReplyDeleteYudel was not paid for the Hashgocha because he had a different work study job.
ReplyDeleteSo who made the kcl? Finkel and company? That's why it a mafia political money hungry organization.
ReplyDeleteThe ones always charging in to make cynical accusations about parnooseh or outright fabrications that Yudel has shady profiteering designs with every move he makes are the type who would sell out their own mishpooche for a nickel.
ReplyDeleteYou think that's veit for Yudel's constant critics? Read the paperwork on thugs arrested with Mendel Epstein & you will see that one of them who the FBI offered a lighter sentence started ratting out anyone he could including his own mishpooche.
kcl was started for one reason, that the lko (lakewood kashrus org) under rabbi abadi shoul not be able to get off the ground. kcl was never intended to provide real kashrus. it was setup for political purposes only. Therefore it remains a politically driven agency, with money taken as protection for the restaurant or catere
ReplyDeleteWhat about now? Is Hershey Friedman still shtupping the yeshiva with Agri?
ReplyDelete"thugs arrested with Mendel Epstein"
ReplyDeleteDid you see the appeal that Rubashkin's lawyer Nat Lewin filed for Binyomin Stimler? Most of his arguments were to get Epstein exonerated even though he officially represents Stimler. I don't understand how Lewin is not ashamed to rave like a lunatic to the judge. He even accuses the Justice Dept of doctoring fake pictures to frame Epstein's gang.
Why does Lewin keep getting hired by these kinds of clients despite not being very matzliach and ranting like a meshugenner?
Here is the inside scoop with Lewin who happens to be Ralbag's shvogger. Lewin's brother became a Lubavitcher. So then Lewin realizes there is a lot of money to be made with Chabad. He got hired in the big Chabad case with the seforim from Russia. He was hired by Rubashkin. And despite the lousy job he is doing he made himself high enough profile to fool some of the people some of the time.
Kcl must have gotten their take from rubashkin.
ReplyDeletekcl and company tried shaking down another met purveyor to the tune of $5,000.00 per month for starters. And they would allow his meat only pre-packaged in stores but not in caterers or restaurants for that there would be another monthly pay off.
Don't know how much finkel's take is.
KCL is lucky that this is the Israeli Tax Authority and not the IRS
ReplyDeletehttp://www.timesofisrael.com/tax-authority-set-to-crack-down-on-the-kabbalah-business/
The Tax Authority on Thursday set out plans to tax Kabbalist rabbi blessing-givers, as well as other providers of religious services, such as cantors, mohalim, “distributors or sellers of holy objects,” and non-state providers of kashruth supervision services.
Over the years, the Authority has sporadically investigated rabbis who provide “blessing services,” in some cases prosecuting them for tax fraud or hiding their income. In his annual report last year, State Comptroller Yosef Shapira railed at the “Kabbalists who are earning hundreds of millions of shekels a year, if not more, and who do not report the money they received.”
Included in Shapira’s report besides Kabbalists were heads of yeshivas, rabbis not affiliated with the Chief Rabbinate (most of them ultra-Orthodox), and the heads of private “Badatz” food supervision services, which claim to adhere to higher standards of kashrut than the rabbinate. All of these businesses, Shapira said, were cash cows, and the state was losing out on substantial tax income.
In many of the cases that the Tax Authority has prosecuted, the report said, lawyers for the defense have argued that the money received was not a fee but a gift, which should not be taxable. Some cases have gone on for years as the state and defendants tried to iron out a deal whereby the state would receive some of its share of the loot
Yudel, I think that kcl, finkel and BMG may be violating the Federal RICO act with their criminal acts on behalf of the kcl.
ReplyDeleteWould the chinese restaurant pursue that with the Feds?
Yudel, What was the mai'aseh when Reb Shnuer asked you to join one of the poiskim of the yeshiva in order to inspect a poultry shechita?
ReplyDeleteWhat was the end result, did the yeshiva use those chickens?
So the only one appointed by the Yeshiva, bmg, Reb Shnuer, Reb Noson to control kashrus in Lakewood shtut is Reb Yudel Shain.
ReplyDeleteDid kcl get rishus from him to open?
It's to contact Pinny Lipshutz and the Yated to start a large pidyin shevoiyim for Finkel, KCL, BMG administration.

ReplyDeleteReb Shnuer was very much a hands on in the Yeshiva. Reb Noson was very shrewd. They both evidently felt that the one they can rely on for the Yeshivas kitchen was yudel shain.
ReplyDeleteThey both did not feel yudel to be a challenge to their status, evidently others are afraid of a possible challenge to their status, I wonder why they feel that way?
"others are afraid of a possible challenge to their status, I wonder why they feel that way?"
ReplyDeleteThat's simple what they are scared of. It's because Yudel finds out about the chazirei scandals that the hashgochos are covering up.
Remember when a blog exposed Yeshiva Torah Temimah as protecting a child molester for 30 years? Why do you think Margulies then had multiple employees in his office running counter-blogs to bashmutz the 3 people who they figured were most likely mechaber candidates of the anti-molester blog? And they attacked all 3 just to be extra sure they had the right guy!
