You can make Kiddush on bread on Shabbos
Only the Friday night kiddush, though.
To the original poster,
Please do not put yourself in danger and always ask a shaila (to a competent poseik) where necessary.
Remember, neither the mitzvah of kiddush nor the mitzvah of the arba kosos are docheh pikuach nefesh!
“V’nishmartem m’od b’nafshoseichem” comes first.
If you look carefully, you might notice that my post was a direct and specific reply to an earlier post that specifically mentioned Kedem Light grape juice.
It is entirely unreasonable to infer from my post that I approve or even am not bothered by any same or similar practices from any other firms.
I am not personally familiar with the examples you describe but assuming they are accurate, I absolutely urge people to protest and boycott no less.
(Nonetheless, as a Jew, whenever a less-than-honest or honorable practice is committed by fellow Jews, it is obviously of greater concern to me personally.)
Finally, your particular choice of words in “Jew company” is offensive (it should be “a Jewish company”) and I have to wonder whether it wasn’t deliberate.
kedem makes a “light grape juice” its basically watered down with 1/3 the amount of sugar..u can buy it in any grocery
The reduced sugar and calorie content of the Kedem “Light” grape juice is achieved simply by a combination of adding water, using less grape-juice-concentrate (which is used to sweeten the regular grape juice) and then adding the artificial sweetener Acesulfame Potassium to compensate.
No magic or “groisa chochmos” there.
And since both water as well as artificial sweetener cost far less than grapes, the price for the “Light” grape juice should be considerably lower than that of the regular.
How about people contacting Kedem and asking them about this?
And if they don’t respond by lowering the price of the “Light” grape juice, how about people simply stop buying it?
Ron Paul is the only current candidate I could even consider. Congressman Paul at least tells the truth about the endless wars of empire. And Ron Paul at least has some integrity and consistency in his positions. (How many other members of Congress have consistently voted against increases to their own salaries?)
If Ralph Nader runs again, I might vote for him.
Or, I might do all write-ins as I did last time.
If you simply don’t vote, they have no way of knowing whether it was b’shita or just out of laziness or apathy. Whereas if you write-in, it shows that you take voting seriously but do not find any of the candidates offered acceptable.
I don’t think most responsible parents will allow their young children to be unsupervised on-line without filters, or at the public library, for that matter.
I pity anyone (and their children) who doesn’t realize how ridiculously easy it is to evade <i>any</i> internet filter.
(Even server-based filtering such as JNet, has easy work-arounds. For obvious reasons, I won’t elaborate.)
Have you seen this?:

R’ Elyashiv to Jerusalem Mayor Barkat:
You also should display the message,
‘Your post has been received and is awaiting moderation’
It was only after finding this thread that I even realized.
Different idea:
Add a preview function which would allow one to edit their post as much as they like before actually submitting the post for moderation.
If you want to allow a window for editing even after a post is actually submitted, then just make it so that mods will not be able to actually approve any post before that window has expired.
