Hebrew National

Question

Hebrew National has retained Rabbi Ralbag as the Rav Hamachshir (Certifying Rabbi) for it's meats. I brought Rabbi Ralbag to meet my father in Lakewood this past week. We spent hours reviewing the process and the details of his work there. It was fascinating and wonderful. We commend the Hebrew National company and Rabbi Ralbag on all the work done to bring the Kashrut (Kosher) levels up to a solid Kosher, at such great expense and efforts. This was not done as a marketing technique, but rather to "answer to the higher authority." The meat is not Glatt. Glatt is when there are no blemishes at all on the lungs. Becoming Glatt would entail taking only percentage of the cows that are currently Kosher. The meat, however, is certainly Kosher for all who do not eat only Glatt. The system is thoroughly automated, which avoids the common mistakes that happen at the smaller operations. Rabbi Ralbag is a Yarey Shamayim and can be relied on 100%. We wish them all lots of luck and success. AA
