Matamei Shlomo, one of the known and frequented eateries in the frum city of Bnei Brak, will be temporarily closed for suspicious activity.
The announcement was made by the local kashrus supervision headed by Chief Rabbi Moshe Landau after reports of it being opened on Shabbos.
Neighbors were alerted after a non Jewish employee was seen opening the restaurant a while before Shabbos ended.
Rabbi Leibel Weiss, a mashgiach of Rabbi Landau’s stringent supervision, hurried over and confirmed that an employee has entered the shop and left after a few minutes.
While he said the claims that cooking was being done there were not accurate, the rumor of chilul shabbos being done quickly spread around the city.
“There was no chilul Shabbos, but there is a need to warn that such a case should not be repeated again,” Rabbi Weiss told his colleagues in a meeting Motzoei Shabbos.
The decision was that the restaurant will be closed for the next 3 days.
You are what you eat.
Good food makes for good vibrations all over the world.
American restaurants and Kashrus organizations should follow his example! Yasher koach!
So many kashrus problems when will ppl be more careful? It’s not a joke!
…as is done in many places even when the owner is frum. When there may not be a mashgiach timidi, but random checks during theday, a mashgiach from the kashrus organization opens and closes the store.
