  8. 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

  9. 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 ... ?

  10. 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

      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.

    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.

  14. 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.
