 CJV Responds to 330 Rabbis Banning Religious Members of Knesset

December 26, 2022

Coalition for Jewish Values, representing over 2,000 traditional, Orthodox rabbis in American public policy,  responded today to the pledge of 330 non-Orthodox rabbis to ban democratically elected Orthodox Jewish Members of Israel’s Knesset from speaking in their Temples, and to lobby their communities to do the same. CJV pointed to an obvious, anti-Jewish double standard displayed by all signatories to the pledge.

“Their call reveals the unrestrained hypocrisy of these non-Orthodox (and anti-Orthodox) movements,” said CJV President Rabbi Yoel Schonfeld. “The same people who virtue-signal their ’tolerance’ demonstrate that they are the least tolerant of all. Anyone who speaks outside their ideological echo chamber must be canceled, censored, and banned. Israel has not, contrary to their claims, disenfranchised them. Rather, it is they who seek to disenfranchise Israel.”

CJV noted that Reform leaders met with Mahmoud Abbas at his office in Ramallah, when it was already known that the Palestinian Authority was providing rich financial rewards to families of terrorists. Non-Orthodox rabbis made no such call to ban former MK Hanin Zoabi or the United Arab List after she called for the dissolution of Israel. And more recently, the Religious Action Center of the Reform movement joined a letter insisting that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) has faced “false accusations” of antisemitic and anti-Israel bias, despite overwhelming evidence and statements even from Members of Congress of her own party condemning her hateful rhetoric.

“Their frantic call to reject duly-elected Members of Knesset reflects their alienation from both the Israeli electorate and the mainstream American pro-Israel community,” added CJV Midwestern Regional Vice President Rabbi Ze’ev Smason. “These rabbis not only grant undue credulity to antisemitic double standards at a time of increasing antisemitism, but further, during the holiday of Chanukah, align themselves with the Hellenists who sought to muzzle authentic Jewish voices.  One thing is certain: hundreds of authentic Jewish congregations will welcome these and other Members of Knesset with open arms.”

Update: Amish Elder was asked, 'Why is there no Covid by the Amish"?

 The Amish Elder was asked about any Covid issues in your society.  He said We don't have televisions or the internet, etc. therefore, we were not made aware of such problems in our society. 

So the so-called pumped up "sciences" about Covid and the vaccines were all hog-wash, and many took the suicide jabs and boosters.

There was a "spike" of 117% by the Amish in November of 2020 due to the visitors to the Amish Country that were jabbed, vaccinated, boosters, etc.

Israeli Geneticists Modify Hens To Produce Only Female Chicks, Which Could Halve Global Production Costs

Did the Heimish hashgochas improve our options.

https://dusiznies.blogspot.com/2022/12/why-are-kosher-food-vendors-ripping-off.html

The Heimish Hashgochas have come into play in the past 20+ years. How have they (or
have they) improved the kosher consumer's options? There are various standards in kashrus; some will be satisfactory for the general public, while others are looking for something better, e.g., a mehadrin standard.

The larger or some communal kosher certifier's goal was "basic kosher" for the general public. The kosher consumers looking for a mehadrin standard made many of their food from raw ingredients and did away with all of the other items available to the general public.

Along came the Heimish Hashgochas to fill the gap and provide to the consumers that want the mehadrin standard some of those items that were not yet available to them. It was a new market that was developing. A much larger market than the Yoshon market.

As time went more Heimish certifiers appeared on the market, and more Heimish distributors seemed that be catering to this new market. Competition grew from the distributors and the certifiers.

The larger or some communal kosher certifiers had no interest or rather no need to cater to this new market, as the Heimish distributors & certifiers were doing that already. If they had realized the size of this niche in the market, they would have attempted to get their share of this mehadrin market.

As time went on, the new market's distributors were looking for more products, and the consumers of that market were glad that they could obtain more of the items without compromising their kashrus standards.

The one item that changed over time was the Orthodox Union, aka OU, started certifying only Glatt kosher meat and stopped approving kosher meat that is not glatt.

Little does the consumer realize that he is not getting what he is being led to believe that he is getting.

The Heimish hashgochas were used only to produce the mehadrin product in a facility that was inherently kosher but not mehadrin ingredients or the presence of a full-time mashgiach. They would still do a kosherization, change the boiler water, change the bishul akum oil, and have a bishul Yisroel for the product.

Now the Heimish hashgochas are produced in non-kosher treif facilities, and the kosherization and production are sometimes compromised somewhat. 

The Mashgichim inspectors are g-d-fearing individuals but need to be trained and fluent in reading, writing, operation complexities, etc. Many of them are family members, so there is an inevitable conflict at least.

The heimish certifiers may consider accepting a certified olive oil or any other product that does not meet the mehadrin standards and affix their distributor & heimish certification to the product unbeknown to the mehadrin consumer.

The select few educated Mehadrin consumers would approach the larger International certifiers to provide the mehadrin consumer with a mehadrin standard product. The response they receive is, "we are geared to the general public only; go to your heimish certifiers-they are your standard." The sad fact is we are getting the raw end of the stick.

We are paying a dear premium for a mehadrin product, and we are getting an inferior mehadrin product at times inferior to the International kosher certifier's standards.
