DY,
1. Read the first part on the previous page “הצריכם להצילם יש גירותם קודם גם אבל
נפשות ש״ספק ישראל, . Thus he says that the people who do not want to mekarev them even before giur l’chumra are racists.
2. Please cite where Rav Moshe says that. He may have been referring to a situation where the treif ingredient is listed on the package (FDA regs require that it be listed if it is at least 1%).
3. What about chillul Hashem, causing hatred, safek inui gerim and not loving them? IMHO the Badatz’ action is chassidut shel shtut
4. According to Barkan CEO Col. (Res.) Erez Wiener “The Badatz [Edah Haharedit] is a body that uses the commercial power it has accumulated in order to establish criteria that are not always halakhic and consistent. Many times they are meant to preserve the status of Badatz,” says Wiener, and tells of his story with the members of the Edah Haharedit.
“I turned to them about a year ago and we wanted to examine a commercial possibility, because I do not have a kashrut problem. I have five kosher seals and I feel at peace and confident in drinking my wine and selling it as kosher, but this was a commercial consideration and we turned to them, we were in a sort of negotiation process over the large monetary demands and we had reached an agreement, and then they got into all sorts of demands to move people from their jobs, because this one is not religious enough and that one is doesn’t have enough fear of Heaven and all sorts of criteria that I did not like, and in the end I accompanied them politely to the door and gave up on this kashrut.” [Arutz 7]
According to the Jerusalem Post, the chief kashrut supervisor at the Barkan Winery, Yosef Promovitch, told Yediot Aharonot that “there are Ethiopians who know that they are Jews – who have undergone conversion – and there are Ethiopians who are not, who are questionable.”
The Barkan supervisor added that as a blanket rule, workers of Ethiopian origin could not touch wine. “The Badatz is not willing to accept Ethiopians.”
