For too long not just kosher regulators but kosher consumers have been turning a blind eye to the obvious abuses going on in the kosher food industry. The situation at Rubashkins was an extreme example but it demonstrates how letting a few things slide can turn into a disaster, a chilul hashem and a violation of kosher standards. As those organizations we entrust to supervise our kashrut let things slide, so too did many consumers justify behavior that was nothing short of abhorrent. If Tav Hayosher helps to prevent these things from happening, I may even start eating meat again. I’ll make up for Moish’s avoiding these restaurants by going there twice as often.
