One Witness Is Trusted Regarding Prohibitions
Question
A question: when my neighbor sells falafel in the moshav, does he need kosher supervision? Does the fact that he sells it for money undermine his credibility?
Answer
I'm not sure that without a supervisor it would be forbidden to eat there, if he is selling as a trustworthy person. But when it's a business there are concerns involved (since sometimes there is a substantial financial loss), and it's preferable that there be kosher supervision.
