UPDATE: RE: Bais-Din arbitration agreements-שטרי בירורין

https://www.faanews.com/2023/05/shocking-nj-appellate-division-ruling.html

Note: Arbitration agreements are for the sole purpose that the parties will adhere to the outcome....

It is not to include any protections for the Arbitrators, if they make a mistake, etc.

Kosher.chat Vs Chat GP.AI- absolutely no comparison

 Kosher.chat is for show and tell at this point; they hopefully will improve.

Update-Metro-west (NJ) a Kashrus Organization;

AKO et al, checked out the MetroWest hashgocha and decided the Administrator must go. They replaced him with a different Administrator who does the food service at the OK Labs.

He was the OK's RC in charge and responsible for the "Manalapan Kosher Chinese Restaurant", when it was discovered that they were serving treifos.

The fact that he receives a paycheck from MetroWest for doing nothing of substance, is that in itself an improvement in the kashrus? One should ask that question from the administration of AKO.

FDA recalls OU frozen strawberries-sold at Trader Joe's and Costco

 

David Stern was the instructor for some in Lakewood that obtained their gun permits.

  Heroic victim David Stern releases video detailing the events that unfolded during this week’s shooting terror attack in Huwara. 

*English translation:* _On Sunday I was driving with my wife through Huwara on the way to Jerusalem. I got to a traffic circle, and I saw an Arab crossing the street and stopped to allow him to cross. As he was crossing, I noticed that he was making a suspicious movement with his hand, so I immediately reached for my gun._

_The terrorist then turned to face us and we opened fire at each other simultaneously. He shot at us, and I shot at him. After I shot about 10 bullets I saw the wounded terrorist flee and drove a few hundred meters down the road and stopped.

_I began to apply a tourniquet and bandages to my gunshot wounds. After a few minutes, an ambulance arrived and took me to the hospital._

_First off, I want to say thank you to G-d and all the Jewish people for the prayers. I really feel the love of everyone, thank you! I also want to say that the IDF must reinstate the checkpoints. It is impossible to continue living like this. We miraculously survived the terror attack, but what may happen in the future?_

מזל טוב, בית דין של בית הוועד ד,לייקוואוד-The attached letter was written Re: the Bais Havaad's Bais-Din, but it's apropo for all other Bais Dins.

 

The Lakewood Bais Din of the Bais Havaad was honored by taking R' Shalom Kamenetsky on as a Dayan, as he is a future member of the מועצת, ר"ל.

He was מתיר אישה להינשא בלי גט, even though Reb Dovid Feinstein, Z"L, said that she is still an אשת איש it was אסור.

This new Dayan to date has yet to instruct the couple to separate.

He has many other attributes.

Update-2: Shul Kidushim, being instituted in numerous Shuls- All parve, including parve cholent, parve kishke

 Forward-looking Shul Rabbonim is cutting to the chase many of the issues of Shul kiddushim.

Some Shuls have instituted that the shul has three levels of kidushim, and the Shul will provide the food from acceptable sources for the different levels.

Many tried to outdo one another in the high-end spreads, including the meat boards in these Shabbos Kidushim.

The Shul also provides the Schnapps, all with Hashgochas—no high-end stuff.

Next, they should limit the kiddush clubs, the liquor variety, etc.

I see they have "Gelatinized" flour, I don't know what was made with that gelatin.

WHO inserts its ideology into our minds and hearts: the Chemed Medical Ethics Conference This weekend the public health ideology will continue to insert itself into the minds and hearts of your rabbis and doctors, and through them, into you and your children

Chemed is a Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC) receiving our tax dollars through the Public Health Service Act, in addition to tax dollars it receives in return for promoting various public health agendas within the Jewish population. The word “Chemed” in Hebrew means “cute” but, with a small change in vowelization, means an insatiable greed for money.

The World Health Organization anti-Torah priorities and agenda are plain to see on their website as part of the UN Sustainability Goals. The job of the trusted influencers is to sanitize the public health agenda by introducing it in small palatable doses, each small step justified using Jewish and Torah sounding phraseology, and then each new step rendered palatable that it is the next logical step based on the previous steps you already agreed to. As exposed in an 8 part "Moles and Mosrim in Brooklyn" series on 

Dangerous Docs

 using recordings of Zoom calls and non-public documents, the trusted influencers provide a feedback loop in which they report back to their superiors in the public health chain of command reporting on success and difficulties in obtaining buy-in from the target population and asking for additional resources and permission to modify the messaging to be more successful.

Here is an interesting tweet endorsing eugenics. Note the reference to genetic testing and screening which is being pushed on the Jewish population by the above discussed conference and other avenues. Note also the reference to the non-observant Jewish support for eugenics in the 1910s in Germany. It’s taken 120 years of clever and patient work and the eugenics movement is now winning support in the Torah observant Jewish community through the use of trusted influencers manipulating Torah, science and emotions.

ESG-WOKE

 

Yehuda, Corporations aren’t supposed to be political parties or social activist groups. But all too often nowadays, businesses are prioritizing left-wing virtue signaling over creating good products that people value. Even worse, woke corporate enforcers are now trying to gamble with your hard-earned savings to advance a destructive ideology – without your informed consent. Spawned by leftist elites, the ESG — Environmental, Social & Governance — agenda infiltrates board rooms across America. Financial institutions use ESG to discriminate against everyday citizens for their religious, political, and social beliefs. Law-abiding businesses disfavored by corporate liberals, such as gun manufacturers and sellers, are facing unprecedented discrimination from banks and payment processors. This is a direct threat to our American way of life. Fortunately, Governor DeSantis sent the radical Left a message loud and clear: Florida is Where Woke Goes to DIE! Governor DeSantis is putting the people of Destin and Dunedin before the jet-setting corporate elites in Davos. He is doing what he always does: putting the PEOPLE of Florida first. The Governor’s new anti-ESG proposal will ensure that financial institutions cannot discriminate against customers for exercising the right to own a firearm or expressing the opinion that we need secure borders – or any belief that goes against their preferred ideology. Governor DeSantis’ action against the woke mob also:  Bans “Social Credit Scores” in banking and lending practices, so that law-abiding Floridians cannot be denied loans or be “de-banked” due to their beliefs.  Blocks the use of ESG in all investment decisions at the government level – which protects retirees and taxpayers  Prohibits state and local governments from using ESG as a part of the contracting and procurement process  Prohibits investment houses from gambling with the pensions of teachers and law enforcement officers based on the woke mob’s priority of the day The corporate elites and activist Left that have tried to use ESG as a Trojan Horse to force their ideology on us are about to learn exactly why we call it the Free State of Florida. ESG is a clear threat to our economy and the individual freedoms that our entire nation is built upon. Governor DeSantis will continue to push forward on his freedom agenda and stand up for the people of Florida. Everything is on the line in the battle against the woke mob. We cannot allow the Left’s schemes to go unchallenged – The consequences of their radical agenda would be dire. Thank you for your continued support. In freedom, Team DeSantis

Coalition for Jewish Values, representing over 2,000 traditional, Orthodox rabbis in American public policy

 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. 

Enjoy what you're reading? Subscribe for more!

“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

https://vinnews.com/2022/12/14/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.
