Just read this post. I am very impressed. Appears to me me that the writer asking the question here is a woman.
In response to yehudayona: Rabbi Belsky held that NYC water did not need to be filtered, because he believed the bugs were kosher; actually he believed they were not bugs at all just baby swordfish. We should not forget Rav Belsky’s stringent psak regarding the chailev found by Rabbi Stern on beef liver purchased from Meal Mart, which is chalila an issur karrus. Rabbi Belsky at that time so bravely said “so what, mistakes happen”. Rabbi Belsky was truly a gadol with yiras shumayim like no other.
If Rabbi Hershel Shechter believes for certain that swordfish is kosher, he should video himself cooking it and then eating it and put the video up on YWN or YouTube. He should not keep it as his unpracticed opinion. Honestly, a rabbi that supports Ora demonstrations against husbands and distant relatives of husbands, absent any knowledge behind the circumstances surrounding the marital and custody disputes of the husbands, is surely one that we can all trust relating to the kashrus status of a universally accepted treif swordfish. Wouldn’t we all agree?
