I was wondering why there were no new emails in my ‘kashrus’ folder of my inbox recently. At once point I did look back at the previous one to remind myself of the reason why but I am happy that it will בע”ה once again receive new information for me to read to keep aware of what’s going on.

Glad to have you back!
My DH has worked in kashrut for many years. We have lived and worked as mashgichim tmidi on a dairy farm in NY state under very difficult conditions. Then, for many more years DH has worked as a mashgiach in one of the NY restaurants. We do not need to be told how challenging it is “to make waves” and raise issues. Sometimes it is simply dangerous!
Thank you very much for your reporting and your courage.
Last year we made aliyah and to our horror discovered that kashrus issues here are even more difficult than they were in the US. We appreciate the guidance. Please, come up with a way to learn the people who want to know, but can not attend your weekly classes simply becouse we live on the other end of the country. In a way we are in even grater need of information, since products selection is much more limited here.
We need hizuk and knowledge.

As noted by all the other respondants, we are glad that you are back. you must have been deeply wounded by those who wanted to stop you. for that I say that L’poom Tzaarah Agrah.
I hope that these words of encouragement give you the strength to persist in turning the tzibbur’s mind and hearts away from the timtum haleiv of non-kosher foods.

The idea of a kosher consumer group to oversee or at least report on the workings of the kashrus agencies is a wonderful one. The consumer knows essentially nothing at all about the food he is eating and it is high time that the veil of secrecy be lifted. R’ Yechiel notes that kashrus is about money and kavod. For the consumer however, it is about kashrus and we have a right to know.

It is a cause for joy to hear your honest voice speak up again. That’s the kind of thing we want to hear.

Now that SYMS is out of business, maybe we can adopt their slogan- “An educated consumer is our best customer#. It is so true in the world of Kashrus (from a veteran mashgiach)
