    Why don’t the Ashkenazim in Israel eat meat from the Beit Yosef hashgacha?

    Many sefardim don’t eat it either. It’s not used by most charedim if I’m not mistaken

    Politics and שנאת חינם. In reality it’s more מחמיר than any Ashkenazi hechsher, as you can see all through Yoreh De’ah.

    “Many charedim”? In Kiryat Sefer several big stores sell it, and it’s very popular.

    Ylavon; you’re assuming that this specific hecsher reloably maintains the standards of the sefer beis Yosef for which it’s named.

    It would be like a pesach hechsher called “rema” – how can you doubt it, it’s called rema!

    See Yechaveh Daas (3,56) from Rav Ovadya Yosef ztz’l who explains in great detail the requirement for chalak, glatt shechita.

    An Israeli-American friend of mine explained that when the BY Hashgaha first came out, they went by the book. The problem is that “the book” – Shulhan Aruch for example – does not teach what to do concerning complex industrial situations that may include tricky business owners. Following the book may not be enough. It’s not Baghdad in 1700.

    He told me that they have since updated their practices, and the BY is as good as any other Hashgaha.

    “the BY is as good as any other Hashgaha…”
    I’m not sure that is a ringing endorsement of Beit Yosef and can be read to mean that none of them is especially reliable or all are of roughly the same reliability. Do most chassidim rely on their rebbe’s hashgacha??

    I should have been clearer earlier; I didn’t mean to express an opinion about the hecsher itself, as i don’t know anything about it – i was saying that one cannot rely on any hecsher based solely on its name.

    I should have said as good as any other reliable Hashgaha
