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

Don't EVER alienate children from their parent

All Botei Dinim that alienate children from a father is done ONLY to "force a get", which of course is therefore an invalid get.

Always put in the arbitration agreement "the Bais Din may not alienate the children from a parent". (Per Reb Shlomo Miller and Reb Elya Ber Wachtfogel)
 

Kashrus of Mezuzahs- OU kosher and Stamp- 2024 OU Passover Guides available by Shain- 1140 Forest Ave, corner Carey St-opposite Forest Bais Medrash

 The Orthodox Union (OU) is addressing a significant concern in the kosher community: the kashrut of mezuzahs. Partnering with the Jerusalem-based STAMP, they aim to ensure the authenticity and halachic compliance of mezuzahs, often found lacking due to the rapid increase in demand and insufficient oversight in the industry.

STAMP, supported by the Mayberg Foundation, enforces a rigorous quality-assurance process, including multiple inspections and AI scanning, to certify mezuzahs as kosher lechatchila (fully kosher). This initiative, not for profit but for community service, introduces OU-certified mezuzahs, complete with tamper-proof packaging and detailed certificates.

This effort seeks to educate consumers and ensure the availability of unquestionably kosher mezuzahs, enhancing the spiritual integrity of Jewish homes. For more information, visit ou.org/mezuzah and thestamproject.org.
