haredi boycott against gefilte fish
This is just too rich to pass up... According to NRG, Hamodia today published a new ban - against gefilte fish.
Rav Shmuel Eliezer Stern has paskened that due to the price of carp being increased leading up to Pesach, it should not be purchased this year, so as to punish the suppliers. Rav Stern says we must prevent the unreasonable price gouging. Banning the purchase of the fish for a period of time is the only way to fix the situation and reverse the increase.
Get ready for Pesach sans gefilte fish...
