Reb Chaim on Shatnez

לכבוד הרה'ג מרן של כל בני הגולה
הר' ר' חיים קניבסקי שליט'א 
        
נא לענות על שאלה שהרבה שואלים האם יכולים לסמוך על בעל חנות יהודי שטוען שאין שעטנז בהחליפה--שאף פעם לא מצא בו שעטנז-.
או באם בכל זאת צריכים לבדקו במעבדת שעטנז.

הרב ר' חיים ענה-"אין יכולין לסמוך 
עליהם"


From a concerned consumer:

My last order was just before COVID, all three suits I ordered had Shatnez that had to be removed. I know many people are not checking his stuff. Please be aware!

Kashrus alert: UPDATE: This LEGHORN Is a "treif" chicken- AKA- "Tarnogol" bi'ingerish

ואת הדוכיפת


This is the (false) Leghorn/Tarnogol/Minorka chicken cross bred with non-kosher birds and is treif. Rav Nissim Karelitz was never mattir, the Kabir, Braekel, Tarnogol, leghorn, Minorka, etc. breeds. They all don't have the required Mesorah.
 
According to Rav Shmuel Wosner, Z"L, Reb Moshe Shternbuch, Shlita, And Reb Moshe Brandsdorfer said "one must kasher their keilim if the cooked this chicken" - It is not a leghorn, They are out & out liars.
The group of backers brought a so called braekel chicken to Rav Shternbuch to examine.

Rav Moshe Bransdorfer was present at Rav Shterbuch at the time.
Rav Shternbuch looked over the chicken that had outer appearance (by the color of it's feathers) to the Braekel, yet the limbs and all other features looked like the normal chicken. הקול קול יעקב, והידיים ידי עשיו.
 
Reb Moshe Brandsdorfer took the chicken in his hand for a closer (forensic) examination, he tells Rav Shterbuch that they took a regular chicken and dyed the feathers to imitate the Braekel, he was able to show him where their dye did not take. Rav Shternbuch threw them out. That's the chicken that Rav Nisim Kareltz, Z"L was marttir??? "wake up and smell the coffee" Oh, they are Democrats.
 
Rav Landau, Z"L was insistent to go to the farm where they are raised.
 
When Rav Shmuel Wosner, Z"L taught me re: the Messorah of birds, he told me that one must also inspect the farm where they are raised.
 
Now the same group that failed in Eretz Yisroel (Braekel) brought the "Tarnogol" breed, claiming it's a "Leghorn" and our eggs are mostly from the Hyline breed of Leghorn.
 
But the fact is that's not a leghorn, but to make it kosher they changed the name "see the above Rashi in Devarim'.
 
Their Tarnogol so called leghorn, looks to me like the Minorca cross bred with the Mayco (a Dorais).
When the Tarnogol people approached me re: they wanted to show me all of the documents re: their chicken, They'll bring me as many chickens as I want to Inspect (a truckload),.I told them, My Mesorah from Rav Shmuel Wosner requires me to visit the farms. They refused.

I did inspect on 2 occasions, live ones, and after they were shechted.
BTW, the double crown on their leghorn/Tarnogol is the sign of the דוכיפת, 
 
This Minorca/Tarnogol/Leghorn is treif, no messorah, bred with the Mayco a "doi'res", etc. One must kasher their keilim if used.

According to what Rav Shmuel Wosner, Z"L told Reb Yehuda Shain, the American breed being used are in compliance with the Mesorah , and can be used without a question. The Israeli breeds are a concern.

Yes, unfortunately our children attended Bezalel Hebrew Academy in Lakewood for 2 yrs. where the principal, a known molester who’d been fired from a prior position in Queens, was abusive and having an adulterous affair with the president of the sisterhood.

It took 2 years of ongoing abuse in addition to the years of therapy those girls from Queens needed, to fire him. His wife divorced him, but he is still on board with the OU and writes Divrei Torah for the Jewish Press!


It more than a ‘shonda’ to have every major Jewish organization posting this much needed fundraiser for the Ukrainian people without vetting the source. I took it down from my FB and posted a warning instead.


When Jews, known for our philanthropy, must first vett rabbis and fundraising sites for legitimacy, it speaks of whom really
are.

Virgin Olive oil Adulterated- De Ja Vu

 An anti-fraud oper­a­tion led by Europol and Interpol in 57 coun­tries in 2016 uncov­ered more than 11,000 tons of coun­ter­feit goods, includ­ing large quan­ti­ties of oil, labeled as extra vir­gin,” which had been inten­tion­ally mis­la­beled or adul­ter­ated to appear gen­uine.

In 2018, a sim­i­lar inves­ti­ga­tion in 36 coun­tries on four con­ti­nents dis­man­tled entire net­works of coun­ter­feit goods pro­duc­tion. In that same year, another inter­na­tional oper­a­tion uncov­ered almost 10,000 tons of coun­ter­feit prod­ucts in 61 coun­tries, includ­ing a large vol­ume of olive oil.

According to the Italian gov­ern­ment, coun­ter­feit foods are smug­gled glob­ally by mod­i­fy­ing the orig­i­nal con­tents of food or by mar­ket­ing prod­ucts whose appear­ance closely resem­bles the authen­tic cer­ti­fied prod­ucts, with names and titles that might appear legit­i­mate.
