    ROB- im not saying there have never been problems. what i am saying is that the standards they set to obtain a hechsher are remarkably higher. but we digress.

    the problem with relying on the rabbanut is that eid echad doesnt help when their is serious chashud. rabbanut places have been found to be compromising on halacha time and again, and their standards and mashgichim are shvach to begin with. but if you believe the state is kadosh vitahor ie mizrachis, then one must eat the hechsher as part of ones commitment to the state. this is common knowledge in israel, if youre not familiar with it, im sorry.

    ROB- my assertion was basedon the fact that people who subscribe to zionist/mizrachi hashkafos are willing to eat food with very questionable status, simply because it has a rabanut. nisht nor dem, they bidavka eat it because it has a rabbanut. I’m not referring at all to the schar of mitzvos, rather those given precedence in the face of other mitzvos because of zionism.

    ROB-what i wrote wasnt a rant. i generally do not rant, unless i am drunk when i post. what i wrote is entirely true, so much so that a small group of mizrachis actually were mocheh at this trend and tried to start a new hechsher. the fact is, they did make the state into the biggest mitzva and anything that conflicts with their nationalistic values takes a backseat.

    yichusdik- the tzionim have made kivush/the state into an over-riding mitzva. they make anything that has to do with the state kadosh vitahor. biggest raaya is the fact that tzionim and mizrachis are makpid to eat it even though its status is not even questionable, its downright bad. the rabbanut is mi’asher anything with a hechsher from CHU”l, even stuff you wouldnt eat at home. and they eat it. because the state says its ok.

    i think we care specifically here because we view it as concrete evidence of the moral breakdown of the society we live in, where human rights and morals have been ousted by whatever fels good. these ‘goodists’ seek to cloak whatever they feel to be good for them as moral. typical left wing approach.

    “M’deoraisa, chicken is Pareve”

    Many yidin today were not m’kabel this g’zeira d’rabanon which not only means to them that chicken is pareve but also that chicken does not require sh’chitah.

    either this is sarcastic. i hope. or youre a buck am haaretz.

    when i started i was into landscapes, i guess cuz you can control relatively all aspects of the picture. lately i got into portraits and abstract random pictures. also some street photography. i for the life of me cant understand people who take pictures of birds, and only birds. i shoot with a nikon D50 with the kit 18-55, a 50mm 1.8, and a 55-200mm VR. i also have 2 old manual everything lenses which i got to force myself to figure out exposure properly. a couple filters and a tripod. hopefully im done buying. what about you?
