Treif Rabbi!!


Who is this ‘Rabbi’?? Put him in Cherem!
NYMAG:

When is a restaurant that serves bacon considered kosher? To most Orthodox rabbis, the answer is easy: never. But Staten Island rabbi Dov Hazdan has been granting his own kosher certification to city Dunkin� Donuts franchises that have served bacon, ham, and sausage, the trayf trifecta. �The meats all come prepackaged,� says Hazdan. �The employees have to wear gloves. I do not condone mixing kosher with nonkosher.� In Manhattan, Hazdan has also given his ner tamid K stamp to Pongal Vegetarian, an Indian restaurant that operates during the Jewish Sabbath, another no-no among the pork police. Hazdan was recently fired as the kosher supervisor at a Dunkin� franchise on 34th Street after it received complaints from the Yeshiva University community about the rabbi and the pork. Spokesmen for the four top kosher-certifying agencies said they would never approve a restaurant that served nonkosher meats or operated on the Sabbath. �Who knows what goes on behind the counter?� says one Staten Island rabbi of Hazdan-approved shops. Hazdan insists his methods are 100 percent kosher. �I know a lot of people with beards who go into my stores,� he says.
