Easy to Eat, Complex to Certify: Yogurt is a Favorite Food for the Cultured Among Us
Yogurt was first produced thousands of years ago. Dairy history and legend indicate that yogurt originated in Iran or Turkey.

An OU Expert Finds He Can Go Home Again to a Town Where Both He and Scotch Have a History
My grandfather was what they call in the United States a “revenooer.” He was the excise man for the Scotch whisky distilleries in Campbeltown, a little town on the west coast of Scotland. I was born there and still vacation there. A little town now, but in its heyday it had more than 30 distilleries. There was a distillery/maltings not far away from our house, and as a little boy I routinely played in the maltings with the cats who “lived” in the barley. I retained an interest in Scotch whisky, including drinking it when I was old enough, and was thrilled when Rabbi Safran asked me to audit some distilleries which wanted OU kosher certification on their single malt whiskies. One of them was only a few miles over the water from my vacation cottage!

Food Matters: The Growth of Kosher
If you would have suggested to an observant Jew that in the earliest part of the 21st century our ancient diet would become one of the hottest new food trends and that the kosher food market would be amongst the fastest growing food sectors in America and Europe, you would surely have been rewarded with a bemused look worthy of an encounter with an inhabitant of the wistful land of Chelm, inhabited by a population of sweet, confused citizens who can make neither heads nor tails of anything.
Lo Basi Ella L’orer: Kavush
If a liquid remains in a container for 24 consecutive hours it becomes kavush k’mivushal, and we are choshesh that there is a transfer of ta’am between the liquid and the entire container[1]. The transfer of ta’am takes place only after 24 hours. Before 24 hours there is no transfer of ta’am. Therefore, bidieved if one did leave cold kosher liquid in a non-kosher container for 24 hours the product remains kosher, since the bliyos in the walls of the container after 24 hours are nosain ta’am lifgam[2].
