QUESTION: I am wondering why today the issue of bug/insect infestation has become so prominent. Our parents and grandparents were observant and this did not seem to be an issue. Is this a stringency or is this actual halacha.
I understood that an insect that is not visible to the eye is not a problem so why do we need to eat the ‘gush katif’ greens and why the big deal about strawberries? (more…)
What is the truth about raisins here and imported? Last year there was a whole to do about the KAJ OU and CRC releasing various statements that all raisins are infested etc. Can we eat USA and or Israeli raisins? Do they have to be checked? If yes how? If there are raisins in cereal etc. do we have to remove them and check them? If yes how?
Thanks! (more…)
I am hearing from many a bochur that Ashkenazim cannot eat from the Hechsher of Badatz Beis Yosef due to the following stated reasons:
1. Sefardi Shechita is unacceptable for Ashkenazim
2. Sefardi Halacha allows parts of the animals to be eaten that Ashkenazim cannot eat.
3. Badatz Beis Yosef allows in general certain heterim and Kullos that are not valid to Ashkenazim.
Is any of this true?
