zahavasdad:

I have no idea what you are talking about. The rabbanut’s job is to paken halacha. When they make a decision about standards, it is not “personal standards,” it is the halacha they are paskening.

Now, I happen to agree with you that the rabbanut should have less official authority. For example, I think the army’s rabbinate should be completely disbanded after their recent politicism of halacha.

But what on earth is your complaint against them. The OU also makes standards, and says that anything which doesn’t meet their standards is not allowed in their certified establishments. And the OU’s standards are not universal- as yitayningwut can tell you. But they need to choose a standard, and they do.

in the ENGLISH, It clearly says its NOT KOSHER, NOT its not to MY STANDARDS

Of course. It is a machlokes in din, and if they pasken it is assur, then they are paskening it is not kosher. If it was a chumrah only, then it would be strange for them to call it non-kosher.

The rabbanut is not the first people to disagree with the heter for cholov stam. Your real issue is that they have an official function- so we agree.
