Many of us, including Rabbi Riskin, have slowly moved over to understanding that Yevul Nochri may not be a Chumra. As Rabbi Shlomo Aviner points out, Where did the Arab get his land from? Did he buy it legally from the original owner? No. In fact almost of of the land being worked by Arabs was stolen from the righful Jewish owners at some point in history. When you buy Heter Mechira you are buying produce from land that was sold to an Arab (who is a Likud member!) under strict Rabbinical supervision. When you buy Yevul Nochri, the Arab has no real claim to the land he works, which brings into question any heter based on the Arab ownership of land. This certainly justifies a Mehadrin Heter Mechira Hechsher! Aliza is a real wonder and a credit to our community. We often share Shabbat meals with her and we know first hand how she visits catering spots before and after her Shabbat meals - not to mention the crazy hours she keeps during the week. Kol HaKavod!

I agree that it is a unique situation, but agree or not, they are open and above board on this and all kashrut issues.

The fact that the Mashkiach is paid by the Moatzah Datit and not the eatery is a big plus. Do all the Badatzim have this policy too? Thanks for yet another interesting article.
