In today’s day and age, virtually every kosher product available to the consumer comes with a hechsher. By hechsher, I mean an official and recognised rabbinical body or agency that certifies the kashrus of a product, be it a food item or a religious article. Hechsherim play a vital role in providing consumer confidence, and something branded by a reputable kashrus agency will be considered more legitimate than a similar product that does not.

Deleteyes I only glanced through it but I saw a picture of a kuba or zanav which he passeled which seemed very machmir
Deletewhere could you get the sefer yalkut stam?
ReplyDeleteIts a great sefer giving many yedios-the real good part is that THE PARTY THE JUDAICA STORES HAD IS OVER FOR SOMEBODY READING THE SEFER however if somebody with OCD gets hold of it.........nothing will be good enough
ReplyDeleteAgreed!
