SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS • The market for kosher products and services in NSW should be as open and competitive as possible so as to facilitate the reduction of costs for consumers. • Urgent structural reforms in relation to the provision of kashrut certification in NSW should be made. • The certifying kashrut authority should be transparent, representative of the Community, and run as a not-for-profit operation, with a recognised set of governance rules consistent with community norms. • Community funds should be made available to seed and/or support such a kashrut authority. • A resolution must be arrived at immediately in relation to: o a strategy and timetable for implementing cost savings; o the provision of a permanent kashrut certification to each of the Kosher Establishments in NSW not currently certified by the KA; and o the permissibility of meat products from inter-state certified providers to licenced

  • The Halal / Kosher Chart
    THE HALAL / KOSHER CHART The Charting Process Given the current climate and issues surrounding Kosher and Halal, the original intention was to create a simple Halal/Kosher comparison chart. On first appearances, it seemed that similarities far outweighed differences. An outcome of creating this chart, indicates that this belief is unsustainable. Information gathered fell into four areas, which appeared to parallel their commonalities. Scriptures and Laws Slaughter and its ramifications Certification Impact on consumers What seemed at first to involve a simple exercise in a comparison of commonalities demanded the exact opposite, an exercise in attending to the detail, for it is here that vast differences arise. What soon became evident was that the differences far outweigh any similarity. On reviewing the limited Halal / Kosher comparative literature, it soon became apparent that vital basic details have not been addressed adequately, if at all. Too abundant to include in this chart, are all the multifaceted, detailed Kosher laws and rabbinical responses. While there are some great rabbinical experts in Kosher, they don’t seem familiar with the details of Halal. Similarly, Imams or other writers, tend to have little knowledge of the intricacies of Kosher. Limited perspectives have contributed to many people’s belief that Halal and Kosher are two historical peas in a slaughterhouse, The media has oversimplified and enmeshed these ostensible twins, often calling for a ban on all forms of ritual meat preparation. It is well accepted that Kosher was the blueprint for Halal. Most Muslims will eat Kosher and accept Kosher-certified goods. However, in the detail, Halal is miles away from anything that resembles Kosher.

    SITTING ON A VOLCANO "„Peace, peace!' When there is no peace. „Peace, peace!‟ When there is no peace.” (Jer. 6:14; 8:11). “They have seduced My people, saying, "Peace!' when there is no peace. “The prophets... prophesy... and see visions of peace when there is no peace; therefore you shall no longer envision futility nor practice divination; for I will deliver My people out of your hand, and you shall know that I am the LORD.'' (Ezek 13:10, 16, 23). Peace in Bosnia; Peace in Chechnya; Peace in Sri Lanka; Peace in Northern Ireland; Peace in Cambodia; Peace in Rwanda; Peace everywhere. Almost all of a sudden, the world is awash with peace. Even in the Middle East, an area that has not known peace for nearly 50 years, since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, peace has broken out with the signing of the peace accord between the Palestinians and the Israelis. What if people continue to die in most of these places long after they have been declared ―peaceful‖, if politicians tell us that they are at peace now what are we supposed to do but to believe it? The families that keep loosing their sons in this ―peace‖ might wish that they were at war. After the accord, the Palestinian authorities received arms to enforce peace in their areas. And what happened this year when Israel opened a tunnel near the Al-Aqsa Mosque? Those guns were turned on the Israeli soldiers themselves. When asked to comment about it, Shimon Perez, the architect of that peace, said: ―Peace is not poetry! Peace is not a song!‖ (Lateline, ABC TV, Oct.
