Halachic Arguments Against Kashrut Reform
Hello Rabbi
I recently heard a conversation from a Rabbi who came out against the kashrut reform for two reasons.
1) In the reform, there is no “coming and going” which is the deterrent that the supervisor can come in at any moment because the supervision is not regional but according to networks.
2) Because those private bodies are funded by businesses, so they are affected by the matter.
The same rabbi claimed that these reasons invalidate kashrut.
I wanted to know your Honor’s opinion regarding those reasons.
thanks
I don’t know the details of the reform. In principle, I am in favor of reform, and I will detail this in a later column.
The rabbi is in favor of reform in rabbinical matters in general and in favor of separating religion and state, we know that. Will the column address this reform itself? Because many are in favor of reform, but if the situation worsens and new problems arise, perhaps even more acute ones (I know that in your opinion there is no problem more acute than the very power of the rabbinate), what good will the column do?
Sorry, I simply have no patience for a column…
