“oomis, what in the world is a “Cholov Yisroel Jew??” 😉
It means, Moish, that this person is under the impression that she can be considered a Jew who only uses cholov Yisroel, because the MILK she drinks is CY. But she eats other stuff that is baked or mixed with non-CY. It’s kind of like the person who makes a big deal out of not cutting her son’s hair until he has his upsherin, but trims his bangs, so it doesn’t get in his eyes, as sson as it gets too long. Once it’s been cut, it’s cut. If you eat Entenmanns cake, you do not keep CY, no matter HOW much CY milk you drink.
“oomis, it is a good and appropriate thing to encourage people not to use Kulahs, where unnecessary.”
UJM – It is also good not to tell people something is assur when there is a reliable kulah for it. Why do you think that people should not be encouraged to use kulahs? A kulah does not mean it’s only “a little muttar.” It means it is not assur, and there is an opinion from rabbonim that supports that. Life does not have to be about chumrahs. Kulahs are also valid, if a reliable rov issues them. I encourage people to ask their rov when they have a shailah, and to follow his p’sak. If the p’sak is l’kulah, it is not my business to second-guess the rov. C”S is not an unnecessary kulah. The milk is cheaper, tastes better, and lasts longer before spoiling. That is an important consideration, absent any reason to suspect that the C”S is tainted with tarfus or tumah.
