WINES & LIQUORS
As with most edible products
on the market today, alcoholic
beverages can have their
share of headaches for the
kosher consumer. For example:
vermouth, sangria, champagne,
sherry brandy and cognac,
as well as some liqueurs and
cordials, all require reliable
supervision as they are
wine-based or may contain
wine as an actual ingredient.
Therefore, it is incumbent upon
all kashrus observant Jews
to understand the nature of
alcoholic beverages and realize
the potential problems to the
kosher consumer. In order to
realistically understand the
kashrus issues of liquors,
we must first know how the
various liquors on the market
are produced. All organic
material that contains starch
and sugar can be converted
into alcohol by a process called
“distillation”. Distillation is the
process of purifying the liquid
part of a mixture by a series of
evaporation and condensation.
Practically speaking, grapes,
fruits or grain are most
frequently used in this process.
Once the material to be used
is determined, the combined
sugar and yeast will cause
“fermentation”. Although in
the case of grapes, we have
a natural liquid, sugar and
yeast content; this complete
combination is lacking in
grains. As a result, grain must
be “malted” in order to convert
the starch in the grain to sugar.
Since alcohol vaporizes faster
than water, we can separate the
ethyl alcohol from the liquid
base by heating or “distilling”
it. In order to determine the
potency of a particular brew,
we “proof” it. Originally this
process included mixing it
with gunpowder and igniting it.
Fortunately today, a hydrometer
is used instead to measure the
brew. An important utensil in
the making of beers and other
alcoholic beverages is the
“still”. While in the past pot
stills were widely in use, today,
for economic reasons, the
“continuous still” has mostly
replaced them.
WINE
Throughout the Torah, we
are reminded of the great
spiritual significance of wine
in the life of a Jew. In fact,
the Talmudic rabbis saw fit to
establish a special law with
special regard to wine. Today,
the vast majority of wines
on the market are unfit for
consumption by the kosher
consumer. Throughout all the
stages of wine production, the
strictest Kosher supervision
is required until the final stage
of the actual bottling. There
is, of course, the prohibition
concerning wines which relates
to the status of boiled wine.
Kosher wine that has been
cooked before contact with
a non-Jew has occurred is
exempted from the injunction.
This prohibition stems from
the historical perspective that
boiled wine was considered
“improper” to be offered to
an idol (where wines were
often offered by these idol
worshipping nations). Such
wine, (called “Yayin Nesach”),
that had been offered to an
idol was prohibited for Jewish
use of any kind. This was
a Torah-based prohibition.
In addition, there is also a
rabbinic prohibition which
forbids drinking the ordinary
wine of non-Jews in order to
reduce social contact which
could lead to assimilation
and intermarriage. Such
wine is called “Stam Yenam”.
Therefore, if a non-Jew
happened to come into contact
with boiled wine, the wine
is still kosher. Many kosher
wines today bear the marking
“Mevushal”, that indicates that
they have been boiled. Extra
caution must be taken with a
kosher wine that has not been
previously boiled (Mevushal),
lest a non-Jew or Jew who is
not Shomer Shabbos should
come in contact with that bottle
of wine (maid etc.). A closed
bottle, even non-Mevushal
wine, may be handled by a nonJew. Currently, kosher wines
are being produced in such
places as Spain, Italy, New
York, California, Israel and Italy.
it is imperative for the kosher
consumer to realize that often,
wine and grape juice are used
to flavor and color other food
and beverage items (i.e. beer,
pink lemonade, lite canned
fruits, tropical drinks, cereals,
etc.). These ingredients are
usually called natural flavoring
or coloring. Therefore, the
kosher consumer must rely on
competent Hashgachas when
purchasing such complex
items.
STRAIGHT WHISKEY
This is a distilled grain spirit
made from at least 51 percent
of a single type of grain and
any mixture of other grains.
This type of whiskey must
be distilled to no more than
160 degrees proof. Straight
Whiskey is aged for at least
two years and is bottled at a
minimum of 80 proof. No other
substances can be included.
The term “mingling” describes
the process in which a number
of barrels of straight whiskey
are mingled together in order to
achieve a consistent style.
BLENDED WHISKEY
Blended Whiskey is a
straight whiskey that has been
blended with neutral grain
spirits. This often includes the
addition of coloring and flavor
enhancers. Often between 15
to 50 different whiskeys will be
blended in order to maintain
the same taste of the product
consistently.
concern of bishul akum. When the
mashgiach did arrive, he was able
to confirm that everything was in
order.
The journalist reported that he
visited Taiku three times and
never saw the mashgiach. The
arrangement in Taiku is that a
shomer shabbos chef, who does
all the cooking, is present at all
times. In addition, a mashgiach
is present at least eight hours a
day during the busiest time of
operation. It is common practice
to rely on shomer shabbos
employees (we refer to them as
“working mashgichim”) in certified
restaurants.
The report also claimed that
dairy liquor was used in a meat
establishment. I asked the
journalist for the name of the
liquor and he said it was Southern
Comfort. To our knowledge,
this is not dairy. It is true that in
America the OU does not allow
Southern Comfort because it
lacks supervision, but in Israel it is
commonly used. Nonetheless, the
point of consistency is valid and
we are reviewing this situation.
I met with the reporter in Israel
and he expressed to me that there
was a lack of transparency in
the standards and procedures in
Israel. This, in part, created some
of the confusion. This is a valid
point which we hope to correct in
the future by publicizing the OU
standards in food establishments
in Israel.
The reporter also expressed
frustration that he was not
permitted entry into the
kitchens without the presence
of our supervisor. This creates
the impression that we are
seeking to hide information. I
explained that this is not the
case, and it is common practice
to have a supervisor present
during a review to ensure that
misunderstandings do not occur.
We are happy to escort people
through the kitchen and explain
the basis of our supervision.
I was glad that I came to Israel to
review these establishments. It is
always possible to improve and
enhance supervision. In general,
the kashrut of the OU restaurants
and hotels in Israel was good, but
I did find some areas where I felt
improvement can be made. I hope
to implement these changes in
the near future.

Response to Criticism of OU
in Israel
Recently, an investigative
journalist posted an article
that appeared on a number
of blogs, which was critical of
OU supervision of hotels and
restaurants in Israel. Within a few
days, the OU arranged for me to
visit Israel and determine if the
criticism was valid.
I spent one week in Israel and
visited these OU locations
multiple times, both with the
OU representative responsible
for oversight, and on my own,
at different times of day and
night. The conclusions of my
investigations are as follows:
While the investigator accurately
reported what he saw and heard,
the report did not capture the
entire picture, as there were other
pieces of relevant information
that the journalist did not reflect
in his article, perhaps because of
a lack of awareness on his part.
One of the strong criticisms of the
article was that the OU rubber
stamps the existing rabbanut
supervision at these locations with
no oversight of its own. This is not
the case.
The Jerusalem Plaza is
supervised by Rabbi Eliezer
Mendelson, who works on behalf
of the OU, and has made various
enhancements to the supervision
in the past year. The article
quoted a source who said that
Rabbi Mendelson “is not really
in charge of kashrut.” This is
not true, as Rabbi Mendelson
was appointed by the owner to
be the Rav of the hotel, and in
conjunction with this he serves as
the OU representative.
The report notes that Rabbi
Turetzky is the supervisor at
Jerusalem Gate Hotel on behalf
of the Jerusalem Rabbinate, but
that there is no OU presence. It
is true that Rabbi Turetzky is in
the employment of the Jerusalem
Rabbinate, but he is also an
employee of the OU. As such, he
is at the hotel in a dual capacity.
The report does not touch on
the Ramada, which is under
Rabbanut Mehadrin, as well as
the OU. The OU has reviewed
the hotel and has verified that
the mashgichim are of excellent
caliber and the kashrut system is
well controlled.
During my visit, I met with Rabbi
Shmuel Burnstein, who heads
the division of supervision of
the Rabbanut Mehadrin hotels.
I reviewed the kashrut in all OU
hotels and found it to be tightly
controlled by a team of very
competent mashgichim.
The OU supervises four dairy
restaurants in Yerushalayim.
In each of the restaurants only
Jews cook in the kitchen, which
obviates the concern of bishul
akum. There is a very strong
system of yotzei vinichnas (spot
inspections) with a mashgiach
coming regularly throughout the
day and night. In each of these
restaurants, the OU arranged for
mashgichim and the OU insisted
that all ingredients meet Mehadrin
standards. In addition, Rabbi
Turetzky spot-checks to ensure
that everything is in order. The OU
is comfortable with this situation.
The OU supervises three meat
restaurants where the OU
arranged for mashgichim to be
present. The OU has a strong
presence in these establishments
and is not blindly rubber stamping
the supervision.
The article reported on other
irregularities as well. For example,
the journalist waited in the
morning for the mashgiach at
Pappagio, a meat restaurant, for
40 minutes, but the mashgiach
did not arrive. In the interim, the
restaurant was in operation. I
confirmed with the mashgiach
that he was not present, but what
was not reported was that the
mashgiach was ill that morning
and could not arrive because of
a severe back problem. Though
the mashgiach arrived late that
particular day, this is not standard
operating procedure at the
restaurant. One cannot prevent
such emergencies from occurring.
The question is how to respond
when the mashgiach is late
because of an emergency: Should
the restaurant open or not?
This depends on the individual
facility, and the mashgiach felt
that he had sufficient control and
knowledge of the facility to not
warrant shutting down the store
until his arrival, particularly since
the management anticipated his
presence shortly and they did not
know when he would arrive. The
grill (where most of the cooking
occurs) was not in operation
before the mashgiach arrived, and
only prep work was occurring in
the kitchen. In addition, the chefs
are Jewish and there was no

GLATT KOSHER MEAT
The Torah states that
“meat from an animal that
has been torn in the field
may not be eaten” (Exodus
22:30). This means that all
animals intended for Jewish
consumption, besides being of
a Kosher species and ritually
slaughtered by a trained
shochet (slaughterer), must be
wholesome. Any lesion, rip,
broken bone, illness, puncture
or defect sufficient to kill the
animal usually renders it traif
(non-Kosher). Although some
defects may be visible while
the animal is still alive, others
require careful checking of the
animal’s internal organs after
it is has been slaughtered, to
be sure it is free of any defects
and diseases which could
cause it to be non-Kosher. It
is particularly common to find
adhesions to an animal’s lung
which indicate a puncture in
the lung wall that would render
the animal traif.
Until about 500 years ago,
only meat from animals free of
adhesions (“glatt”) was used.
Later, however, there were
halachic (legal) authorities
(Rema) who permitted
eating meat of animals with
small adhesions on particular
sections of the lung . If the
adhesions are small, easily
removable, and the lungs prove
to be airtight (by inflation under
water), the animal may be
declared Kosher, but not Glatt.
Adhesions are not common
in chickens in the U.S.A. and
Canada. Therefore, all chicken
meat in the U.S. is considered
Glatt Kosher.
The only sure protection from
the fraud that we have seen
at time in meat production
is to make sure that we are
purchasing meat with only
top level Hashgacha. Empire
chicken, for instance, carries
the O/U as well as the KAJ.
Rubashkin meats (currently
not in production) had many
different Hashgachos on
its runs, including David’s
meats sold at Trader Joes that
was non- Glatt meat. Meat
consumption is at an all time
high, but production has hit a
snag with the closure of the
Rubashkin meat plants.

FISH
Fish must have fins and
scales to be Kosher. Fish
which only have fins are not
Kosher. Of the four types
of scales, clenoid, cycloid,
ganoid and placoid, only
clenoid and cycloid scales are
valid according to the Torah.
Gandoid is the type found
on sturgeon and placoid is
found on shark .There is no
prohibition against eating fish
blood, other than the fact that
people may think that a person
is eating prohibited blood, and
ritual slaughter is not required.
The scales must be true
scales that can be removed
without damaging the skin of
the fish. As it says in the Torah
– “These you may eat of the
fishes, all that have fins and
scales…” (Vayikrah XI:9-12)
Bony tubercles and plate, or
thorn-like scales that can be
removed only by removing part
of the skin are not considered
scales in this context. Some
fish that have such scales,
such as eels, lumpfish, shark,
sturgeon, and swordfish, are
not Kosher. All shellfish and
mammals (such as whales,
and dolphins) are not Kosher.
Only the eggs of Kosher fish,
such as fish roe or caviar, are
allowed, therefore supervision
is necessary. Care must be
taken when buying fresh, whole
fish, filleted, or frozen, because
of the possibility of substitution
of non-Kosher fish or of
contamination by remnants of
non-Kosher fish from knives
and cutting boards. Fish sticks
have three problems: the fish,
the oil, and the frying utensils
and equipment (which are
usually used for non-Kosher
fish as well as Kosher fish).
Smoked fish is frequently
soaked in brine and then
smoked along with non-Kosher
fish. According to Jewish law,
this soaking and smoking is
tantamount to cooking over a
flame and therefore the product
is not Kosher. Smoked fish is
also often packed in oil, which
may not be Kosher.
Although herring is famous
as a Jewish food, it is, in
fact, not always Kosher. The
preparation of herring can
pose a myriad of problems,
among which are mono- and
di-glycerides, non-Kosher wine
vinegar or wine, sour cream,
bread crumbs, spices, and
equipment contamination.
These lists of Kosher and
non-Kosher fish were prepared
by James W. Atz, Ph.D., Curator
and Dean Bibliographer in the
Department of Ichthyology
of the American Museum of
Natural History, New York, New
York 10024.
