[RBS] The Kashrus Certificate at the Oriental Chinese

[The Viflics]

Dear Listland,

I was very kindly informed by one of my neighbours this morning regarding 
what was said about the kashrus certificate of The Oriental Chinese 
restaurant. and I would like to give our side of the story.

It is correct to say that our mehadrin teudah was in fact expired for a 
period of time, HOWEVER, during the WHOLE TIME we had a FULL-TIME MEHADRIN 
YERUSHALAYIM MASGIACH on the premises and daily visits from the rabbinut Bet 
Shemesh masgiach, which was not mentioned.

Anyone who had a problem with the certificate was encouraged to speak to our 
masgiach and if this was not enough, we gave them the the telephone number 
of the Mehadrin Yerushalayim supervisor.

I wish that Rabbi Spiro had spoken with us, toured our kitchen, spoken to 
our mashgiach (like some other establishments metioned).  If so, he would 
have seen that the kashrut standards of the Mehadrin Yerushalayim were being 
upheld by us in conjunction with the mashgiach while we were working on 
fixing the expired teudah.

My husband, Itzak, is a frum, well-known and long-time member of the 
community. The kashrut of our restaurant has always been at the same high 
standard that is demanded by Mehadrin Yerushalayim even when our teudah was 
expired.

If you have any questions, please call us. We are always available to our 
patrons.

Please come visit our restaurant, come to our kitchen, speak to our 
mashgiach and judge for yourself.

Thank you
Tamar Viflic
