Notice to the Public Regarding Rakusen's Matzos

by B. Rabinowitz

It is a source of great regret that the communal unity of Passover matzo production over many decades has been broken and that aspersions have been cast over the Kashrut of Rakusen's Matzos.

We therefore wish to state that:

1. The manufacture of Rakusen's Passover Matzos is monitored and guided by the Botei Din mentioned below and Dayanim make regular visits to the factory and are involved in all aspects of production. The day-to-day control is under the immediate auspices of Rabbi Saadia Amor, a renowned Talmid Chacham and world expert on Matzo production.

2. The Rakusens's bakery is set up to produce Matzos to the highest standards incorporating many stringencies and hiddurim. As a result it enjoys a reputation as one of the world's finest matzo bakeries. It is for this reason that the renowned Gateshead Rav produces his matzos in Rakusen's on the identical equipment used for regular production.

3. For the avoidance of any doubt we unequivocally state that Rakusen's Matzos remain kosher le'Pesach le'Mehadrin to the highest standard.

Editor's Note: A news item in last week's edition could have given the impression that Rakusens Matzos do not have a hechsher. This is obviously far from being true, and we regret any misunderstandings our misleading headline may have caused.
