[Avodah] New Guidelines for Kashrus

[Rabbi Meir G. Rabi via Avodah]

R Z Sero echoes with these words - the days when it was a simple product
are long gone -
the recently promoted mantra
which is designed to ensure more business for the K agencies
but seems to have little to do with the Halacha of Kashrus

Kashrus is not about having guarantees
no one [well at least not yet] insists on checking a Shechted animal
for every single possibility that may render it a Tereifa
we rely on Rov.

The vast majority of ingredients
even those argued to be non-K
are used in quantities well below a disqualifying proportion

although the truth is that these products are clearly Kosher
even when derived from non-K sources
they are seriously altered from their original state
they are in the eyes of Halacha
a new entity

The entire structure of Yotzeh VeNichness
is predicated upon the same
there is no guarantee
there is just an assertion
that in most cases people would not tamper with the food

Kashrus is not about guarantees

and neither is Yiddishkeit
saying the Shema 15 times or PoSeiAch Ess YaDecha 20 times
is a symptom of a disturbed distorted version of Yiddishkeit



Best,

Meir G. Rabi
