Yes. I do not visit any RCC establishments unless they have a second Hashgacha. The Yarmulka story is 100% true. Speak to Mrs S. (the owner of Schwartz Bakery before the Hechts bought it). Look at what the RCC did with Noah’s bagels! They were bought by starbucks and started serving things which were chazer trief. But because they were still under contract with the RCC, the RCC allowed them to have one kosher counter and everything else was trief. Most people didnt know and you had people eating non kosher because the RCC didnt want to lose money. Speak… Read more »

Were any ANASH affected?

Bottom line: Did this guy also distribute (and/or sell) Lubavitch meat and chickens to Anash???

Considering legal action?

Don’t consider suing. the owner must be pursued and and sue his pants off! it’s the only way to regain the trust of the public that in the future someone will be deterred from attempting this

I was working for the RCC for a quite a while as masgiach,as well as the major hecksherim......

A bit too many communication issues between mashgicim and RCC management,and RCC management with the stores and factories.Rectification and resolution of major and minor issues took far too long in my opinion.Very porous and resistant lines of communication…if you get my drift.

Yes there r some Mashgichim who show up to the Facility, and put on Yalmulka then and there. And the minnute u complain to the vaad….. “Oh we can’t stop him, what he dose @ home” I’ve seen it. And it still happens.

boooooooo!

I will bet you that never really happened. Pulled a yarmulke from his pocket? really? Listen, there were clear violations in this situation, but are you telling me that you NEVER visit any RCC establishment? Where do you live and what stores/restaurants/bakeries do you go to? If you are concerned with a Kashrus organization as a whole, then you are a fool (pardon my bluntness) for not trusting the whole organization. You find out who the mashgiach is for the particular establishment you want to visit or patronize. That would be much more responsible. One cannot blame the entire RCC… Read more »

as mashgiach
March 31, 2013 12:09 am

The RCC “Spousaly” Approved this Mashgiach…. As a Mashgiach experiance, its the Mashgiac’s “Fault” to blame on. “That’s what the Mashgiach is hired 4”. Bottom line. THE MASHGIACH IS “NOT” DOING HIS JOB. And just Looking for the Big Backs. The RCC should Fire him. That Mashgiach has a BIG responsibility. AND ITS HIS AVAIRAS. (Not the RCC). Sorry Mashgiach. Good lack to you new addition.

Rabbi May, speak clearly and be forhtright
March 30, 2013 11:53 pm

Rabbi May is ambiguous and thinks the people are stupid. The contrary is the reality. Rabbi May what do you mean “he admitted to bringing in unauthorized products to the store on two or three occasions”Were these unauthorized products kosher or treif?? According to RCC [protocol is a mashgiach permitted to Daven. or not? Incidentally is he permitted to go to the bathroom, if not then you should always have two full time mashgichim so that there would always be on there when the other one must leave to daven or go to the bathroom, Rabbi May why don’t you… Read more »

What are we going to do!?

RCC taking the convenient way out
March 30, 2013 11:17 pm

Just blame the poor mashgiach…

Not Enough!!
March 30, 2013 10:10 pm

The RCC head should resign!! Why didn’t they remove their Hashgacha from Doheny Meats when he had previous violations 20 years ago???

Who is suing who?
March 30, 2013 9:23 pm

The RCC is considering legal action against Doheny for scheming to subvert kashrus policies and abusing the community’s trust. To the contrary, this incident proves that the RCC cannot be relied on to provide a reliable hashgocha. They are blaming their mashgiach, but isn’t that too convenient? Mashgichim get paid pitifully low wages while the kashrus organizations rake in their profits from companies that sell treif food to unsuspecting Yidden.

It is the RCC that should be concerned about legal action against them for their own negligence.

The RCC is a joke!!
March 29, 2013 9:30 pm

As an LA “native” I have never used RCC. They are beyond worthless. Speak to the old owners of Schwartz Bakery and theyl tell you about the time a mashgiach walked in, pulled a yarmulka out of his pocket and told her she needed to blowtorch her refrigerator to “kasher it for pesach”.

2011
March 29, 2013 9:20 pm
