Kashrut Mythbusters- Rabbi Haim Ovadia

** Interested in subscribing to Rabbi Haim Ovadia's weekday emails on Jewish Law? Please send an email to [email protected] with your full name, location, and a bit about yourself.** Keeping kosher seems like it gets more burdensome over time. It's not that true kashrut has changed, but rather Rabbi's and kashrut organizations continue to raise the bar. But, is raising the bar a good thing? Is it that our ancestors were ignorant to the laws of kashrut? Or is it the fact that kashrut has become a business? Certifying toilet paper should tell us we have gone way too far. Here I give you the real deal. No smoke and mirrors. The pre-kashrut business and also what was once a kashrut issue may have changed because circumstances have changed.Most of all, on University campuses and different areas of the US and abroad don't have the same available Kosher products one might have in a place like Brooklyn, NY.

    2: There's [Almost] No non-Kosher Cheese?

    This is part 2 of this series. The answer to this question will take some time, as there are many misconceptions regarding Kosher and non-Kosher (or non-certified) cheese. In addition, the Kashrut industry controls both the supervision on production and the halakhic literature, thus creating an exorbitant pricing system in which what is considered a “strictly” Kosher cheese, of rather inferior quality, could cost twice or three times as much as a similar “non-supervised” cheese.This creates a considerable economic interest in preserving a state of affairs where “non-supervised” cheese is deemed non-kosher, despite the difficulties it creates for observant Jews (as I have mentioned in other articles, one cannot brush aside the cost factor, since the Talmud stresses in many places that we must not cause people to spend more than what is necessary.)The above is from Rabbi Ovadia's daily emails on Halakha.
