Picture of the Day
a group of mashgichei kashrut, kashrut supervisors, protested the kashrut reform outside the home of Minister of Religious Affairs Matan Kahana. The protest included signs and fake kashrut certificates scoffing at the new post-reform kashrut not being kosher and only good for Reform people, along with cooking shrimp and other disgusting prohibited animals.
1. keep it classy folks. It bothers me a little that rabbis, kashrut professionals, are out there cooking shrimp and whatnot. I know, they are trying to shock and to get their point across, but still. it bothers me.
2. if it is already so easy to get shrimp and crab and whatever else they cooked up, how will the coming reform make it so much worse from that perspective?

The reform explicitly states that the Rabbanut will set minimum standards. This is really disgusting, and is about preserving their own monopoly and jobs.
ReplyDelete" if it is already so easy to get shrimp and crab and whatever else they cooked up, how will the coming reform make it so much worse from that perspective?"
ReplyDeleteAll of those things are eaten by Muslims. I don't think they are "easy" to get, but if you are determined, you can find them in any Arab market.
And, yes, it is worse, because there is a big difference between giving something the label of kosher that is not, and selling non-kosher food.
It all depends on where you live. I live near ares with significant Russian populations. The non-kosher grocery stores carry shrimp other seafood.
DeleteSome Muslims don't eat seafood.
DeleteAnd no one in a million years is going to give a hekhsher to seafood.
(Bear in mind that Reform, by definition, aren't going to be certifying food, because they don't believe in the concept.)
But that's all besides the point. These people bought non-kosher food and roasted it in front of the home of a (religious) minister. How disgusting and how childish can you get?
Hey wait a second!
ReplyDeleteIf the shrimp was cooked by these Rabbis & Mashgichim.....does that constitute "prepared under Rabbinic supervision"? 🤣
A true 'Bizayon" to BBQ these treif foods and now having to throw away the grills also?
ReplyDeleteOffensive behavior to be sure, but the grills can be kashered
