Esrogim are the biggest profit makers (if you can get the distributors to tell you the price that they pay, about $15 for a mehudar) and the costs that are paid for a so called “hidur mitzvah” is OUTrageous.
You are correct that the prices rise for absolutely no reason, except for ripping off the kehilla, since we have no recourse.

to stan the man — its costly and a hiddur mitzvah ? since when is it a hiddur mitzvah to be ripped off ? a hiddur mitzvah is to pay a little more then you would for somthing else but this is getting out of hand… not to mention the price of the matzot, which also keeps going up and up and up, so if i pay 29 dollars for a pound of matzot and you only paid 23, does that mean that i was more mehader then you ?

does anyone know what the real mevushal status is on Israeli wines. Officially most do not say Mevushal, although the majority is pateurized.

Can someone shed some light?

mmmmmmm…….. Looking at the picture above, I was just wondering… why is that Carmel bottle opened? Was it good? Next time please… can we get a good looking fellow holding a bottle of wine, just like in the Coca Cola story. You’ll get loads of replies.
