• Rabbi Weismandel: - Piv Hichshiloy!

Rabbi Weismandel who is in control of the entire kashrus operation at Rubashkin and whom the CHK relies on completely, for the CHK certification, (since the CHK Rav-Hamachshir, himself, is almost never present, in Iowa, to supervise), admitted to the Wall Street Journal, that his "Kosher SUPERVISION" is not active during the Cutting and Packing of Rubashkins Meat and that that therefore any alleged abuse or other criminal activity at Rubashkin's, is without his awareness, since it is "NOT THE KOSHER part".

According to Today's (7/1/2008) Wall Street Journal:

Rabbi Weiss Mandel, top supervisory rabbi for kosher certification at the plant, says: "We were not aware of any mistreatment of workers." However, he added, "we are not involved with cutting and packing...That's not the kosher part."

This admission by Rabbi Weismandel, confirms what many (including Rabbi Yudel Shain, (Brother of Rabbi Eliyaho Shain the Mohel of C.H.) a Kashrus Whistle-Blower and long time, very vocal critic, of Rubashkins Meat) have been saying for years, that -

Their is no proper supervision, at Rubashkin's Meat, especially during the cutting and packing and that there are numerous LABEL MIX-UPS.

This including the possibility of mixing up labels, between different Levels of Kashrus (the "OU" vs the CHK and Weissmandels, level of Kashrus).


The potential possibility exists of Mix-ups even between Rubashkin's Kosher vs Rubashkin's Non-Kosher meat which is sold to Goyim, because of the difficulty in TRACKING Rubashkin's Meat which is rendered Traif and is destined to be sold to Goyim - Mix-ups CAN potentially happen, very easily.

Now it's officially confirmed by Rabbi Weismandel "Mesaper Lefi Tumo" and "Piv Hichshiloy" that he has no idea what's going on during Cutting and Packing and "It's not (the) Kosher Part" and that's how "he washes his hands clean", why he is not responsible for all the recent scandals of alleged Crimes and other Wrongdoing at Rubashkin.

Besides very serious Kashrus Mix-ups and or Mix-ups between Kosher and Trief, at the very least it would be "Basar Shenisalma Min Haayin".


If there is no supervision, at all times, and if the Goyim can do whatever they want INCLUDING SWITCHING MEAT and if Wiesmandle is oblivious, to what's going on and to what is happening during the Cutting and Packing - then how Kosher can it be?
