Day 43 of the Omer
What better way to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Jerusalem's reunification than to spend it hobnobbing with Christian missionaries who use the occasion to cash in on its "brand"? But, hey! Isn't that what Western democracy, religious pluralism, tolerance and diversity and capitalism are all about? Wait. But, this is the Middle East and Jerusalem is the Holy City - the City of God. Well, God has nothing to do with this...
I had no idea "volunteering" could be so profitable.

Why is Kosherwine.com advertising HaYovel on their website?
Have you visited the HaYovel online store? Look at all the spin-off products they are selling thanks to their Jewish-Israeli connection.
And let's not forget the $1.5 million HaYovel base in Missouri. Self-serving, definitely!
Thanks. Now I know which ones NOT to buy.
ReplyDeleteIf non-jews touch the wine it isn't kosher anymore - could there possibly be a kashrus problem with them harvesting the grapes in the first place? I'm sure their kavanah with that is to sanctify it to yashke
ReplyDeleteI tried that angle without success. And you are right, it is. They've bragged about how this is the wine Yeshu will drink with them at the "Marriage Feast of the Lamb".
DeleteAgree with Israel Tachlis. How do they get a hechsher. Non-Jews are not allowed to have anything to do with the production of kosher wine.
ReplyDeleteReally amazing how all that was predicted in the Torah, Sages, are all actually happening because our people have abandoned H'. Anything goes today. we need the 'Jewish' real Rabbis to stand up against these desecrations. It is imperative!
I made a presentation to one kashrut authority. They were very interested and seemed concerned, but after having a "conversation" with one of the vineyard owners involved, they were satisfied that there was no problem with kashrut.
DeleteAnd now we are reading all the time about sorruption within the kashrut agencies. :-(
DeleteI'm speechless! I will put my faith/emuna in HaShem as I always do and He will straiten out this mess on His own good time..
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! Once the birur is complete - when this test is done and every individual Jew has made his choice, then HKB"H will rid the land of all its impurities - Yishmael, Eisav and the Erev Rav.
DeleteThere is no problem with kashrut until after the grapes are crushed and turned into grape juice which is made into wine. The harvesting of the grapes is not an issue.
ReplyDelete1) please site your source. The OU seems to agree with you, but do they have all the necessary information to rule on this issue.
Delete2) these are not just grapes, but grapes possibly prayed over to a false deity. הנאה מע״ז אסורה וספק מדאורייתא לחומרה.
3) there is also the violation of לא תחונם )משנה תורה הל׳ ע״ז י,א-ט)
