Comments on: A Culture of Kashrut http://www.shma.com/2009/09/a-culture-of-kashrut/ Journal of Jewish Responsibility Thu, 26 Aug 2010 01:59:30 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Cathy Porter http://www.shma.com/2009/09/a-culture-of-kashrut/comment-page-1/#comment-1779 Cathy Porter Mon, 05 Oct 2009 03:48:24 +0000 http://www.shma.com/?p=1139#comment-1779 Candidly the Reform and Conservative communities by and large to not keep Kosher. What they have succeeded to do is to jeopardize the high quality implications and availability of a kosher certified product amongst the broad non-Jewish community. That will result in the decision by many entities now seeking kashrut certification to simply drop this certification on their products. So...thank you for making it more difficult for those amongst us that do keep Kosher. No one will accept the new Hekhsher Tzedek. The people that like this development of a new certification will not make a difference since they probably think that reading the contents label is enough, Regarding Agriprocessors - the attach on this meat processor is naive of the unusually had conditions that exist in every meat processing plant. Interesting enough that many of those that were "outraged" by the employment of undocumented workers are also in favor of amnesty for such workers and amongst many people that I know, never check the legal status of their own gardeners and maids. Postville, Iowa came to life as a result of Agriprocessors and created many jobs and opportunities for hard working people looking for an opportunity.

What a hypocrisy. I would suggest that he first follow Shulchan Aruch himself before he preaches to others.
