What no Carmel wine? I thought Carmel wine was the symbol of Israel.
Does the PM’s official residence have its own hashgacha or do they rely upon someone provided by the rabbanus?? I presume that all official functions are “kosher” notwithstanding the PM’s personal hashkafah.
I hope the wine was Mevushal.
Oops! “The Great Potato” should actually read “The Big Apple”!
Gadol, as long as the food was tasty President Trump and the First Lady do not care which hashgacha the PM has.
What is with the wines?
Donald Trump does not drink alcoholic beverages!
Why do you hope the wine was Mevushal? The table had Non Jews and Irreligious Jews who do not give one iota about Halacha.
Hamburger and chips before the fish course???
No felafel??
RichardM: And what would be the issue if they wash their mouths out in between? Just as one eats fish, rinses his/her mouth and then eats meat, so to one can eat meat, rinse mouth, and then eat fish.
