The "secret"?
When Rav Breuer set up the KAJ Hashgocha, he announced that he is setting it up without any "hidurim or chumras"
only basic kashrus.
The reason? he said was that otherwise you are left with only hidurim and chumras with no kashrus.
No one can accuse the KAJ Kehila's shechita of chasidishe shechita!
KAJ shochtim are Chsidishe
ReplyDeleteWho said it was accepted? After the scandel of Mrs. Adlers gefilte fish - no one trusted them anymore.
ReplyDeleteNow - there are no yekkies running the show.
Also - when they did not protect their own hashgochas and let them go down the drain (LI Glatt) and when they rubber stamped their hashgocha at Agriprocessors without knowing what was going on - only those that don't know the hashgocha field use them.
I give credit to KAJ. They were the first and only hechsher to drop Postville. As long as the checks don't bounce, the OU, Star K, CRC Chicago, Chabad, etc. will keep accepting Postville products. Never has a family such as Rubashkin disregarded basic standards of kashrus.
ReplyDeleteThe Heimish hashguchas sell the gullible consumer "chumras & hidirim", but no kashrus.
ReplyDeleteIt's money driven.
Star K is the Breuer's of the 21st century. They certify Kosher stuff no frummie claim
ReplyDeleteThere is a problem that KAJ is a little too liberal in accepting certain shechitos, lettuce & herbs.
ReplyDeleteThey do have a maylah though that you can't catch them on anything at Pesach hotels. They do a very good job at Pesach hotels when most other hashgochos are easy to catch with failures.
A big cop out that one hashgocho based outside NY does on Pesach hotels: they are makpid that the entertainment, etc, also has to be kosher, like no singers with kol isha allowed. But when they certify outside their home State they are no longer makpid.
ReplyDeleteSince when is the Torah governed by State boundaries?
To the person who is ignorant of the actualities & make blanket statements. The KAJ Shochtim were selected based on their Zehirus in Torah Umitzvos, not on their ability to run a badmouthing blog. The fact is many of the Shochtim of KAJ are Chassidish, but I shouldn't be confusing the blogmaster with the facts.
ReplyDeleteYes,but that was very tangential to who/what they were
DeleteKAJ did not toot their horn with the "Chasidishe-Shechita".
ReplyDeleteChasidishe shoichet was not a chisorin.
They looked for erlich, Glatt-yoisher in order to have glatt kosher.
Excuse me.
ReplyDeleteToday, if its not Chasidisheh Shchita you may as well go to McDonalds.
In todays world that is the reality.
Nebach
Wow. Lots of frustrated commenters.
ReplyDeleteThis Ferd who touts that he learned in Telz & by R' Dovid Solovietchik is embarassing himself with his bogus justifications why he takes money to certify non-kosher food. He is on all kinds of goyish owned Bassar Bassar style restaurants operating on Shabbos in goyishe neighborhoods.

His promoter on his Jewish Coffeehouse site is "rabbi" Scott Kahn originally from Maimonides Boston. Today he's busy mouthing off to belittle gedolim, attacking them as being ignorant or deceitful kaviyochol in their sources to prevent IDF conscription, along with promoting some other silly agendas like Feminism. He hangs out with his fellow apikorsim at Limmud
Sounds like a class A disciple of Pope Pauli out of the West Coast.
ReplyDeleteThe comment from 'You Know Who' last night 9:29 pm in the outer outer boro of NYC sheds a lot of light on his true colors. He is automatically against anything from his enemy on the West Coast and the disciples. So when the that commenter complains that Schwarcz has a bad shgoocha and that apikorsim are covering up for Schwarcz, 'You Know Who' is grumbling because he's on the side of Schwarcz & the apikorsim!
