    Now my comment – Hershey’s spends a lot of money to have their products certified – they obviously think it’s worth it. If it was inherently kosher, why wouldn’t they do so for this product as well? (This is not a full blown raya, but it is a big rei’usa.)

    From an online forum, with the OP asking “Why is the “Hershey’s N’ More Caramel” candy bar not Kosher?”:

    This is just a guess:

    If you check out Hershey’s Kashrus page (yes, they have one), you’ll see that all three items in the “Hershey’s ‘N More” line are not kosher. One of those items is Hershey’s ‘N More Marshmellow. Marshmellow is a very tricky item, kashrus wise. It’s entirely possible that the other two Hersheys ‘N More products are produced on the same equipment as the Marshmellow product, making the other two items not kosher.

    I would be interested to find a m’kor one way or the other for tosefes hana’ah on maachol Ben Drusai. On one hand, it was edible, so it would seem to be like the case of an extra light. On the other hand, we do find cases where something was edible, but cooking is still assur mishun hana’ah (e.g. water).

    As I mentioned earlier, the reasoning of knas was not my invention; it’s a Chasam Sofer and a Chazon Ish (the L”H, even though also machmir, disagrees on this point).

    Mahara”m Schick apparently, as well.

    The first part of Rav Belsky’s teshuva is consitent with the IG”M 8 I showed you, that it’s talui on the minhag. I don’t know why he only relied on it b’tziruf his other sevara (1:45).

    The latter part of Rav Belsky’s teshuva ignores the reasoning of the poskim who have a problem with chasnus of a mumar; it’s no better than an aku”m without children, with whom bishul is still assur (I think I saw it in the Lechem Haponim).

    The Rashba contrasts an individual who tells the Goyim he believes in AZ and the Yidden that he is Frum, where we can assume that his true beliefs are not AZ, with a habitual Mechalel Shabbos.

    The source of the commonly accepted issur on yayin of a m”S is that Rashb”a (quoted in B”Y) towards the end (after the part you refer to), who writes, “??? ????? ???? ????? ??????? ?? ????? ????? ???? ??????? ?”? ????? ??? ??? ????? ??? ???”

    These are the actual words of the M”Y’s psak; what I quoted earlier were indeed the words of the the L”M describing the psak of the TT”V).

    Oomis,

    It’s very questionable (to put it mildly) if dina d’malchusa applies to this. However, it might be permissible to use the secular courts in some cases; abuse might fit the bill, if it’s the only way to protect the victim, but of course, a posek must be consulted.

    Hello99,

    You are correct that the Shach does not seem to agree with the Ran who includes a Mechalel Shabbos in the general Gezeira against Goyim.

    The B”Y paskens like the Rashb”a, so I don’t think the Sha”ch would argue. I don’t learn the Sha”ch like you.

    It’s in 73:14 (after the one you quoted). The one you quoted is not his maskana; he’s still presenting the shaila, and limiting it to where there’s no chashash issur. What I quoted is his psak. You should look up the TT”V as well.

    you should be careful when quoting vol 8.

    Yes I know, but the OCR software I used to copy and paste doesn’t chap. 🙂

    BTW, I heard that they printed a 9th volume. What do people say about its reliability?

    I don’t know; what’s interesting is that the Rav Feinsteins, in the hakdamah to 9, insist that 8 is reliable. Although I’ve heard of specific teshuvos that they privately say are “mistakes”.

    I assumed Health was referring to a raw cholent. If it was 1/3 or 1/2 cooked, and there was no direct amira, would the hana’ah not be muttar as tosefes hana’ah?

    Aries,

    Leverage doesn’t mean blackmail. I am thinking of a particular case in which one of the gedolim advised an acquaintance of mine to hold off on the get until she allowed him to have visitation with his children.

    B”H, several years later, both are remarried with wonderful families, and they are able to be civil to each other when dealing with their children. He even ultimately got an apology from her father for the way he was treated during the whole process.

    I really wasn’t trying to “get” you to say anything. 🙂

    Its never a good idea, if the marriage is over, give a get.

    Never is a very unforgiving word. There are occasions where rabbonim will advise withholding a get because it’s his only leverage.

    It might be rare, though.

    That was also a big “if”. Without knowing details, it may just be that although the woman is demanding a get, there really is still hope for the marriage. Popa is right; without knowing all the details well, it’s unwise to mix in.

    I translate “safek gadol” as a big safek (i.e. a big machlokes), not as “very doubtful”.

    No. He writes that when there is supervision, there is no issue of Ma’achalim Assurim. the only remaining concern would be Chasnus, and on that he concurrs with the Tiferes l’Moshe that Chasnus does not apply to a Mechalel Shabbos.

    Are you referring to the M”Y or the TT”V? (Both are machmir even when there is no chashash of maachalos assuros, read them again.)

    You didn’t mention Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, Lechem Hapanim, Mahar”i Assad, Mahara”m Schick (who asks on the TL”M and remains “v’tzorich iyun”, so it’s not a clear psak, but he seems to lean towards issur), Chelkas Binyomin.

    Bottom line: it’s a big machlokes acharonim (which is what I think R’ Moshe meant by “safek gadol”, esp. in light of the previous teshuva).

    Hello99,

    you posted right after Shabbos in the US. Are you here now, or are you still there in EY? Did you decide not to post while it’s Shabbos in the US, or “poonkt” that’s when you posted?

    I looked up the Yabia Omer. His reason to be meikil meikar hadin (he still holds it’s better to be machmir) is that the Riva”sh is a “tana ham’sayeia”. I think, though, that the Riva”sh is arguing on the Teshuvas HaRashb”a (brought in B”Y 119) because the reasoning of the Riva”sh should nor asser the yayin of a mechallel Shabbos, since he doesn’t ever make yayin nesech.

    No, I didn’t read it into that sentence. In the previous sentence, though, he writes that “shar issurim” are a “safek gadol” so it’s hard to believe that in the following sentence (your favorite line 🙂 ), he is specifically excluding bishul.

    When you quoted the Chasam Sofer YD 120 and Igros Moshe YD 2:132 that stam yanom is assur, you were missing my point because I wasn’t arguing for stam yaynom of a mechallel Shabbos to be muttar.

    The way you read that Shach 124:14 that Yayin Nesech depends on Avoda Zara, he is arguing on the Ra”n in Chullin (last one on 4b).
