Because there is a dire need for tzedaka that in unmet by any single organization.
The overhead of most of them are very little with almost the entire contributions going to the aniyim.
Dov: Rubio is no neocon. He is more a Tea Party Conservative.
nfgo: By time the convention comes and passes it is too late to file for an independent presidential candidacy in many/most states. Additionally, states also have a “sore loser” law preventing a party primary candidate from running independently in the general election.
squeak – Charlie is awaiting your response in the Republican thread.
We’re now in the pre-March 15 cycle. If has to happen sufficiently before 3/15 for voters to consider who is left. Dropping out typically occurs immediately after the primaries before.
All the candidates repeated yesterday they’re staying in for the 3/15 primaries. For it to work only one non-Trump can be in 3/15. It isn’t going to happen. Trump will be the nominee. And Clinton will be the President.
Not Rabbi Hershel Schachter?
It’s time for all the non-Trumps, except one, to pack it in. That’s the only way they can beat Trump. But it ain’t gonna happen.
Pig Latin.
Even if we assume you’re correct about his irresponsibility, the undeniable end-result is he’s selling these unquestionably non-kosher products to frum kosher consumers. And what is, even from your perspective, paving the way for this mass distribution of tarfus to Yidden is that the package bears an OU.
Thus my earlier comment applies:
The fact that the heimishe stores sold this treif product with the OU on the outside shows that even food professionals that are in the business of selling only kosher products made this mistake (and passed it on to their kosher-only customers). How much more so the average consumer who walks into ShopRite or Walmart and sees an OU and puts the item in his wagon, brings it home, uses it in his keilim and R”L eats it!
We’ve actually won from virtually every free trade agreement, both before and since NAFTA.
That comment wasn’t the “source”, it was a subsequent comment stating “the fact that this package was sold in heimishe stores too”. I’m not vouching that is the case, but that is a verbatim quote someone made that it was or is being sold in heimishe stores.
And I’ve observed detailed images of the physical layout of both sides of the packaging in question.
Dov: Protectionism hurts America. America benefits from free trade.
squeak, you heard that? You’re not the only one!
This package most certainly does have an OU on the outside packaging. The back of the outside packaging is part of the outside packaging. Regarding the heimishe stores, a commenter on the previous page said they sold this.
Has it been confirmed that the kosher food and the non-kosher food inside this package are not intermingled or physically in contact with one another?

Hey, takahmamash is starting to agree with me.
Winning one convert at a time.
You *can* have cornflakes for supper.
Don’t worry, RY23. squeak is only coming out against Rubio because he saw me throw my weight behind the candidacy. He certainly does not support any other candidate that has any realistic odds of winning. 🙂
Many people reasonably understand that a food item displaying an OU *anywhere* on the front, back or side of the outside packaging implies that all food items contained within said packaging is certified kosher by the OU.
It’s all over, folks. Clinton is your next president.
That being said, as a matter of reality it appears almost a certainty that Trump will be nominated. The only way to stop that without a floor fight in a brokered convention is if every non-Trump candidate drops out immediately after the March 1 primaries, save for one candidate. That one logically would have to be Rubio, though it theoretically could be another. But it won’t happen since the others, especially Kasich, are egocentric self-centered who will put their own personal ambitions, despite having almost no chance of winning, ahead of country and party.
And since a Trump nomination virtually guarantees a Clinton victory, in 11 months from now Hillary will be President.
He is the strongest candidate to beat Clinton. He is the strongest candidate to beat Trump. And he is conservative.
Rubio.
As opposed to his hitting the rock?
So then we essentially agree.
That’s a weak question. It’s plausible that was the only opportune place to bring the minyan where he was in one place. There or in shul, but Sam might have objected even more if he brought the minyan (per S”A) to his local shul.
You must be right if Rabbi Genack said “it can be confusing” but he doesn’t think it can be confusing.
Not true. Many products have the kosher symbol on the back not the front. So it being on the back doesn’t necessarily make consumers question it any more than if it were on the front. Many people will make a quick scan and find the symbol without noticing there are other panels. And some people who did see other panels will still naturally think a kosher symbol anywhere on the front or back of the outside packaging means everything inside is kosher.
And Rabbi Genack disagrees with you. He agrees it can be confusing and it should be eliminated.
But the outside packaging does not have and OU.
The picture on the main site shows the outside package bears an OU. Many people will quickly scan the outside package for the kosher symbol, find it, and buy it.
Also, Rabbi Genack said he is looking to change OU policy to prevent this in the future, saying “I understand that it can be confusing and therefore we should move in a direction to eliminate this kind of situation.”
Avram: Why aren’t you judging the guy who requested mechila l’kaf zechus that he requested it properly. Especially since no one claimed otherwise. The minyan was, as Sam indicated, per S”A. I don’t think Sam would have invited the minyan into his home if he didn’t want to grant mechila, as he indicated.
My reading of the comment is that he was moida what he did wrong in front of the minyan. (And does S”A require that? Because Sam said he in fact followed what S”A requires.) As far as more time, it was right before Rosh Hashana. And Sam indicated he had already been asking for mechila for eight months.
As long as it’s on your property. 🙂
And outhouses no longer exist so bathrooms are a necessity. If enough outhouses are built for everyone, you can manage without bathrooms.
At one time there were water carriers delivering water. In their absence, a method of delivering water is a necessity.
How can it be a “necessity” for one set of countrymen (or women) but not another? Either it is a necessity as a matter of personal hygiene or it isn’t.
If Israelis mostly don’t use deodorant, and consider it a luxury, then deodorant isn’t an essential product to be used and needn’t be recommended as an important item to bring.
I can easily see many people purchasing the product because it has a kosher symbol on the outside packaging without realizing that it is applicable to only some of the products inside but not all.
Avram: Sam didn’t say that his earlier three requests for mechila was improper. Nor did Sam say he expected something additional from the fellow that he failed to perform. If either of those were applicable he should have mentioned it. I can only comment on the situation as he presented it.
