SuperSol Deal Givat Shaul - Jerusalem

There is a branch of SuperSol Deal supermarket located on Kanfei Nesharim Street in Jerusalem’s Givat Shaul neighborhood. Ironically, it is situated in a religious neighborhood and bridges two other religious neighborhoods, Har Nof and Kiryat Moshe.

Nevertheless, during a routine Wednesday evening shopping event, the decision was made to inquire as to the supervision of the fruit and produce department since no kashrut certificate was visible. When asked, the assistant manager on duty explained that at one time earlier, they had supervision from the Holon Rabbinate, quickly adding they are in the process of obtaining supervision from the Jerusalem Religious Council.

When asked [and somewhat pinned in a corner] he explained at present, there is no kashrut supervision on the fruit and vegetables sold in the store.

Seeing outwardly appearing religious folks buying is not a replacement for kashrut supervision. One should not assume that a store in a religious neighborhood has supervision and one should not be embarrassed to ask. If enough shoppers ask, the stores will eventually get the message.
