7 Tishrei 5770
1. Teller Bakery - Jerusalem
I continue to receive a growing number of requests from readers regarding Teller Bakery on Agrippas Street, in Jerusalem, near Machane Yehuda, AKA “The Shuk”.
The bakery and its satellite sales store in the shuk are under the Jerusalem Rabbinate Mehadrin. I spoke with Rabbi Chaim Gamliel, the over-see-er of the store’s mashgiach, Rabbi Yaakov Lublin, and I was informed the mashgiach “lives nearby” and therefore, his visitations are facilitated by geographical realities.

1. Morano Nuts – No Belz or Beit Yosef Hechsher on Sweets
JKN spoke with Belz Machzikei Hadas kahrus inspector Rav Yitzchak Yosef Zigelman on Thursday morning, seeking to confirm the status of the candies sold in a branch of the Morano nut and seeds stores in Machane Yehuda, the Shuk.
Rav Zigelman is the inspector who is responsible for the area of the shuk encompassing the nut stores mentioned. Many of you area aware that in one of the branches, the one located on Agrippas Street, at the corner of Machane Yehuda Street, the store also sells a large selections of the candies and sweets mentioned in another recent JKN report (http://www.jerusalemkoshernews.com/2009/09/candies-by-the-kilogram-%e2%80%93-not-as-mehadrin-as-they-appear/).

JKN’s Yechiel Spira was recently interviewed by Israel National News Radio host Walter Bingham, walking Machane Yehuda shuk.

The audio file has been made availalbe to JKN website visitors, seeking to bring the shuk to those of you unable to take part in one of the JKN shuk tours.

Last Shuk Tours of 5769
Today, Monday, September 14, 2009 (25 Elul) JKN completed the Machane Yehuda Shuk tours for 5769, with two walk-through tours, one at 9:30am and 5:30pm. I was privileged to escort some 30 people through the streets of Machane Yehuda, and I think we all benefited from the experience.
Anyway, I think the program did have an impact as many more readers have shared in this on-site experience, and we are wiser and more alert kosher shoppers as a result.
My sincerest apologies to the 5:30pm group, I simply forgot to take a group photo!

A New Kashrus Agency in Eretz Yisrael
It was by all accounts a historic event, the launching of a new kashrus agency in Israel, one that enjoys widespread support. The event was hosted in Bnei Brak’s Vishnitz Hotel on Tuesday, August 11, 2009.
All chassidic bodies have joined force, explaining they have created a hechsher that will integrate the hidurim of all the respective groups incorporated in the effort.
The new agency is being called Badatz Kehillot HaChareidim in Eretz Yisrael, the product of a year’s work. The official date of the launch of the new agency is 21 Av 5769. Organizers believe that from its inception, the new agency will be directing products at 30,000 families. (more…)
