[Avodah] Monsey Chicken Scandal

[Daniel Eidensohn]

Rav Shurkin mentioned to me that as a general rule that one buys from a 
store because of the mashgiach not because of the butcher.

He also told me that the Brisker Rav held that one should buy from a 
butcher who doesn't have a beard. Such a person is always treated with 
suspicion. In contrast the appearance of a chasidic butcher can lull one 
into thinking that there can't possibly be a problem.
