Because if it was for food only then I would think it's best to keep the hechsherim on the restaurants and other foods.<br />To be honest, out of comfortability, I don't know how many of the charedim living nearby the Mahane Yehudah shuk will actually travel to the further away located shuk and at different hours. <br />How many men are actually free in morning hours? I would change the seperate hours to women in the morning and men in the evening...Leah Pnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-26937967585021585232011-08-23T10:25:45.803+03:002011-08-23T10:25:45.803+03:00I buy from a haredi sale.

Once before Pesach they sold packages of raw shnitzel. The order form had said 8 to a box but there were really 16 and each person was supposed to get half a box. They had to call people (automated) and beg them to bring back the extra. Here is a description of hte sale: http://www.cookingmanager.com/tips-food-shopping-cooperative/mother in israelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13715046177293916034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-16896879746486003962011-08-22T22:34:16.761+03:002011-08-22T22:34:16.761+03:001. i do not think it would be good for stores to n...1. i do not think it would be good for stores to not have a hechsher. I didnt say that.<br /><br />2. I think for the hechshers to fight this and say the place is inappropriate and we can buy there, they should be consistent and remove their hechshers as well. not that it will be good or bad for the stores, but for the consistency of the hechshers. otherwise they are selling out their ideals for money. when they then threaten individual restaurants to follow specific policy to keep certain modesty standards, we all know they are bogus because they wont do the same for larger, bigger money, instances.<br /><br />3. any hechsher that does pull itself out, specifically the Eida but others as well, will be quickly replaced by any of a myriad of other hechsherim, so the kiosks and stalls will not be left with no hechsher.Rafi G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00699851287106903971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-43752435284628329302011-08-22T21:17:56.951+03:002011-08-22T21:17:56.951+03:00You really think that it would be a good thing if ...You really think that it would be a good thing if the stalls in Machane Yehudah lost their teudot?<br /><br />It would be a TERRIBLE thing. It would take a public area where all types of Jews now gather in the same space, and turn it into yet another place where only the non-religious would be found.<br /><br />What the country -- and J-m in particular -- needs is MORE mixed public spaces, not fewer!LI Readernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-31266814641891838092011-08-22T17:24:17.201+03:002011-08-22T17:24:17.201+03:00how very sadhow very sadfrum single femalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01592899863773572708noreply@blogger.com
