The Yoker Rav was 90 going on 91 in Sivan 5776 ...
Hamodia the torch bearer of immaculate truth of Daas Torah is not always right ...

One of The Poskei Hador ...
Chukei Chaim has over 10 Volumes ...
Rabeinu HaKudesh Reb Yoel Teitelbaum sought his advice ...

His kashrus was not reliable. He was known as "the joker ruv". He was putting his shtempel on treif items even.

Posek hador like I am Moishe Rabbeinu

His Hechsherim were mostly on candies, chocolate & condiments but no meat ...
Looking for the treif items ... can you point them out before you recant on your vitriolic invective ... ?

He was giving hashgocho on Wise snacks with treif cheddar cheese & did not stop after multiple warnings from Flatbush rabbonim. They then were mefarsem on him & told their kehillos he is unreliable

A ponzi schemer has moved to town. Too bad he didn't move in a little earlier so that he could run in the "election" for the YSV board. He would fit right in.

Could you prove your claim or your doomed as a motsei Shem ra on a talmid chochom.

Nothing but a convoluted concoction without any basis ...

What a sick society we live in, even after a man dies some people still have to dance on his grave and bad mouth him... let the man rest in peace

The treif cheese in the Wise they were mefarsem against him in a haymish publication in the late 1980s when nothing changed after a few warnings & pleading with him to stop it. One rov told me he is dan lekaf zechus that the Yoka is not all there.

This is still relevant for items he certified being sold now. The rabbonim held he remained unreliable since then.

Many of his hechshaereem were intended for (as he was quoted ZL) for the idiots who won't accept the KAJ, in the cSe of Haddar.

I don't know what was over 30 years sgo or what heimisch really means, but nowadays the OU certifies several Wise cheddar products.
