BS”D

I know what I do and what he does.

I wanted to see what other communities and individuals do because at first it made no sense to me but it is now clear where it came from.

Chabad tends to follow Chassidishe psak and now that I see which sources support this I understand fully where it comes from. That is what this board should be all about.

Obviously the Minchas Yitzchok and the Darkei Tshuva believe there is a klipa to be elevated.

Also, I will add my voice to those who really do not want to hear the opinions of the more modern posters when asking about halacha and minhagim. I was interested in knowing whether other communities did this, not for opinions as to where this will lead. I see far more communities and individuals disintegrating because of allowing and encouraging bending of rules in order to make them more palatable to those who are breaking them anyway as opposed to people resenting a new communal stringency or practice (when it is explained properly as opposed to being forced down people’s throats).

In fact I don’t like to ask questions of this type (halachic but not asking for psak) anywhere online because the modern contingent of any online community tends to be the most vocal and the least sensitive and those who are questioning can often use these opinions as the first excuse toward throwing it all off.

And not once did I say that anyone should worry about eating from non toiveled plastic (so long as the person or establishment is reliable otherwise). In fact considering Rav Belsky’s influence in kashrus we just might be eating from places or factories that do not toivel their aluminum.
