Hi
Thanks for your update - it is quite shocking!
In London, the Kedassia hechsher will not allow any of its clients - owners of stores with a kedassia hechsher - to even own another store with a hechsher from a different kashrus authority. Recently, a meat store owner had to choose between which of his two stores he wanted to keep - even though there had been no infractions.

Thanks for this report. It shows that the Eida Chareidit far from being the backward group they are sometimes portrayed as, are actually very much in this world and on the ball.

Does the mehadrin hechsher apply to the fancier restaurant as well, or just the lobby and downstairs dining room?

Its very easy to say something is not allowed and not provide any facts whatsoever. Oh, my bad, the exclamation point was all that was needed…..
just another straw thats going to break the back of those who want to have religion but are thwarted by the insanity of these rabbis…

From a reader - Shalom R’ Yechiel,

I did not think it was a Purim spoof but was nonetheless a little confused about the totally opposite positions presented. Could you just confirm that I understand correctly that Rav Belsky considers the entire matter to be of no concern at all ?

please ask the RCC what we should do under the following circumstances if,
1. just before pesach, a fish swallows some bread that was deposted in the seas on Rosh Hashana tashlich. can we eat that fish on pesach, or is it chometz; or
2. a fresh water fish is swimming in a NY City reservoir. since we know that NY City water is “contaminated” with ecrustians, are we allowed to eat that fish at any time, or may we use the fish to make boulibase?

From what I’ve heard from a Rav hamachshir who atended ACCO the presentation of Rav Belsky’s opinion was that worms that are 1.2 millimeters are OK, not 1-2 millimeters.

To me mind that’s a fairly significant difference. 1.2 is still a spec, 2 is a more noticable.
