to number 3: This is only the list of products actually under the CHK hechsher, and does not include the many products that have been checked out and approved for use, which is a much longer, extended list. No, we do not starve in our home, and we stick to the list, and approved items, which I find out about by speaking with the mashgiach. But I will absolutely not allow my oven or keilim to be used to warm up anything from Eishel’s kitchen. ( Maybe I’ll set up a separate toaster oven for guests who want to do… Read more »

As long as my food has a reliable hescher I’ll eat it. That may or not be CHK. My father A”H didn’t have a beard & he was the most careful man I ever met in Kashrus of fleish . He told me NOT to buy a type of meat from a certain CH butcher & explained why. To this day I listen. Just because it has this hechscher or that doesn’t make everything OK (no pun intended).

Actually, this list is quite extensive. I wish the comments posted here were honest, and not just one more attempt to bash Rabbi Osdoba– whom the Rebbe MH”M himself supported. How can any chosid of the Rebbe trash this Rov?

Dvash is not out of business.
Yoske’s Kretchme was not mentioned on the list
Dovid Elliot’s Shochtim have beards.

This is simple Loshon Hora for destructive purposes.

Let’s enter Yom Kippur with truth eminating from our lips.

And when was the last time you were at David Elliot?
also please let me know who paid you to post, by any chance was it the same people who call for achdus on one side of a paper and then condemn a hechsher (b/c they don’t get any money from it) on the other side?

Why don’t you tell the people that 2 members of the Beis Din have nothing to do with this Hechsher. That this Hechsher is a private Hechsher from Rabbi Osdoba.

hechsher
October 5, 2011 10:49 pm

This letter is from a private concern. The BADATZ does not have a kashrus organization. rabbi Osdoba’s CHK is a hechsher he privatized. Nothing to do with the bais din of Crown heights. If you trust him and segal go ahead and eat it.
The only thing under the BADATZ hechsher at this point is the president street kapporas.

As far as i know the eatery CAFE RIMON is CLOSED for business for the past week. So if this letter is TRUE/EMES how is it dated yesterday????

Does not have a mashgiach temidi,, who do we speak to about that?

What about having beards?
October 5, 2011 9:23 pm

How does NOT having a beard make a guy a “chossid” or a “tomim”?!
I know for a fact that the shochtim at David Elliott – who are touted as “temimim & chassidim” DO NOT HAVE BEARDS! Moreover, they wear JEANS, they listen to goyishe music while they are working…..Is this the kind of person you would eat from his shechita?!
I wouldn’t!

Eat only CHK & starve
October 5, 2011 9:10 pm

It’s time for this “hechsher” to end. The range of products offered is minuscule and I doubt that the money raised is enough to even pay the mashgichim properly (which likely leads to “under supervision”). Bottom line is that the hechsher is too small to be effective. Why not outsource/co-brand with the OK? That we we get a professionally run Kashrus organization with the resources and expertise to cover a very broad range of products. Develop some kind of revenue sharing program and stop paying for an entire Kashrus organization that only covers a tiny number of products. The current… Read more »
