Dunno about the hechsher but I’m using the chareidim matzos on the recommendation of my dentist being that they are the thinnest and I have bad tmj

My rebbe always says to make sure the what ever product you buy has an national hechsher (OU, OK, CK, Star K, CRC etc. and a chassidush one, the national one to make sure that the ingredients are kosher, and the chassidush one to make sure a yid light the fire, and that you need both!

BarryLS1:

Exactly.
They (I’m refering to all these Johny come lately, Hechsherim) are using religion/”Frumkeit” to basically fleece their fellow gullible Jews. We see this especially before Pesach (total price gouging) & Succos (Arba minim). We already have, for many years, the OU, OK, StarK, etc… They are very well run Organizations with very Chashuva Rabbonim leading them. There is absolutely no need for most of these new Johnny come lately “Heimisha” “Hechsherim”! They are plain and simple, jealous, that the Litvisha/Modernisha have control of the Kashrus scene! We recently saw this with the scurrilous bugs in the Tropicana OJ libel! Boy did that story quickly disappear. These private “Heimisha” “Hechsherim” are always looking for ways to make themselves look more “Frum” than those Shkotzim that consume food from the big established Hechsherim.
If you look back in the last 20 or so years, every major Kashrus scandal (meat, chicken, hot dogs, shaimus), was from a “private” “HEIMISHA” Hechsher, NOT those modern guys at the OU, OK, StarK, ChofK, etc…!

Example: If Tasters Choice coffee is OU Kosher LiPesach without any additional symbal, why do I see it in the local supermarkets with a Gefen sticker slopped across the top for literally triple the price??? This is insane! And then the Askanim wonder why more & more people need to come on to Kimcha Dipischa! When will this madness end?

As an aside, I see one of the “Dayanim” metioned above, was one of the biggest pushers to bring the “Eruv” to Boro Park, against the Psak of Rav Moshe Feinstein ZT”L!

Does this mean we will now have to have 6 hashgochos on each product?

It gets kind of crazy already. One one hand, the Chareidi population may be the poorest in the country, yet with all these hashgocho’s their prices are the highest. This is not helping the people. There are enough good hashgochos already. Let the politics begin!

This article sounds like it was written in some other language and translated by Google Translate.

How do they decide which color robes to wear, black, light blue, brown, or pastel?

Is there an inverse relationship between kashrus standards and English writing skills?

Shasho that is a great assumption but don’t be naive and assume anything but BYL is appropriate for a sefardi Jew who follows the bet yosef’s shita. You are obviously a very intelligent individual.

Based on this article it seems it is safe to assume that anything under this hashgacha is for sure yashan. Anything cooked is according to the standards of the beit yosef and all meat is glatt beit yosef.

“With its noteworthy commendation as one of the purest forms of kashrus and elite standard requirements, chareidim has made a name for itself as the best for those who seek superior kosher products.”

Really? According to who?
