Comments on: Kudos to Yeshivat Netiv Meir (Jerusalem) http://www.jerusalemkoshernews.com/2010/07/kudos-to-yeshivat-netiv-meir-jerusalem/ Reporting on Kashrus in Eretz Yisrael Fri, 10 Feb 2012 02:34:14 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 By: yechiel-admin http://www.jerusalemkoshernews.com/2010/07/kudos-to-yeshivat-netiv-meir-jerusalem/comment-page-1/#comment-2134 yechiel-admin Tue, 27 Jul 2010 09:13:48 +0000 http://www.jerusalemkoshernews.com/?p=3023#comment-2134 A number of months ago, I attended a kashrus conference for yeshiva heads and folks responsible for yeshiva kitchens, administrators and cooks. It was more than a bit alarming to learn how many ‘frum’ yeshivot(s) simply trust the kitchen to a religious person, and too often, it becomes a case of each rav assuming the other is taking care of business. As a result, there are too many yeshiva kitchens with non-Jewish or Jewish cools serving unsupervised meals, and the preparatory work in too many cases is sorely lacking, including but not limited to inspection of rice, legumes, greens and other basic kashrus laws. In short, a yeshiva needs a hechsher, formal or informal (undertaken by the school’s rabbis) as does every other cooking establishment.

It is expected that any real yeshiva has someone in charge of its kitchen who is reliable enough to actually do so properly.
