A KosherWorld story has been in our top-5 reads for 9 of the past 11 days (excluding Saturdays).
Its durability is due to a rogue Rabbi chirping fellow Shtetlers. Today alone there have been are 4 new chirps & the story is still on top.

A few examples and quotes – you’ll want to read the full test:
Rabbi: personally think its a rather stupid idea to create a 'kosher-only' shop in South Africa
elchanan I say this with all due humility and respect - I think you should stick to Rabbi-ing and leave entrepreneurs and marketers to do what they know and understand
Rabbi With the greatest humility and respect perhaps you should re-read my original comment to understand it
Anonymous I think Kosher World is a fantastic
Rabbi Please don't embarrass yourself and me by advertising your own store. Be a man and say who you really are. Next time use an advertising company.
ChabadGirl I'm a bit bothered by your reply. How do we know this person is the owner?
Anonymous Your assumptions are quite astonishing for a supposedly "learned, observant and intelligent man". Assumption number one: I am [not] a man. Sweet Rabbi, I am a woman :). Second assumption: I am the owner of the shop. Rabbi, I am an educator, wife and mother who runs a Jewish home who simply shops for food for a Jewish home.
Blogger Lion613 from Cape Town I would love to live in an area which had a Kosher supermarket - don't knock it, it's enough to make me want to give up the sea and the mountains and move to Jo'burg!
Rabbi A kosher-only store doesn't guarantee the highest forms of kosher and can sometimes actually lower a persons standards.
My suggestion to you is, educate yourself in this area, be more independent rather than rely on others
Darren Sevitz, exec director, UOS I would sooner eat from a "lower standard" hechsher (whatever that is) than attempt to destroy another person’s business ... In any event, everything in KosherWorld is approved by the JHB Beth Din, a standard that everyone knows.
Rabbi I was just stating a logical explanation as to why I think its a bad idea . Can I not do that? .... By the by motze shem ra is a very serious sin so please don't write things about me that are false.
elchanan Isn't it time to call it quits. You are Rabbi-ing to everyone who disagrees with you and finding not one single soul (yet) to agree with you ... There is no point in flogging this horse anymore, Rabbi. It ais dead... dead. DEAD!

Anyone can pose here with any name, so how do you know Rabbi Dov Y is actually a Rabbi, or male, or Jewish? If you didn't know something about me I might be a J4J posing as a Chabadnik too! At least I am verified by MyShtetl. If one is prepared to pronounce the title Rabbi then Y not give a surname?
I'm prepared to give her the benefit of the doubt and just assume she owns a shop that sells some kosher stuff before the chagim and runs a Reform er... Progressive minyan on a Friday night with guitar music...ChabadGirl ducks the heavy objects flying in her direction and heads of to eat something Chalav Yisroel.
