Question
When you’re in a market/super market, and they have peeled or sliced fruits (such as mangos, peaches, kiwis, apples etc.) Is there a Chazaka they are kosher? Does it depend on if it’s in a non Jewish one in chutz laaretz or a non observant Jewish one like In Israel?

Question
Good day, Is non-mevushal wine to which sugar was added (such as Kedem's Cream Rose) subject to the laws of maga akum? Or not, as sugar is like honey, and then Shulchan Aruch, Yoreh Daiah 123:4 would apply? In terms of chumros, what's better to make kiddush on: 1. Non-mevushal, sugar-added wine 2. Mevushal, no sugar added Thank you and kol tuv, Yaacov

Question
What is the kashrus status of heart of palm. There is lots of heart of palm on the market with reliable hechsherim. But in order to harvest heart of palm, a palm tree needs to be cut down and is destroyed. Many species of palm tree are fruit bearing. The label does not say what palm species it comes from.

Question
I’d like to know if there is such a thing as kosher Himalayan salt. Himalayan salt is more healthful than other salts because it contains no plastic. I’d love to be able to buy some. Walmart advertises kosher Himalayan salt but the package has no indication that it is kosher. Please advise and thank you. Nancy

Question
I'm a maker wanting to create a seder dining service acceptable to everyone. Ashkenazi rabbis, the strictest, consider glass to be non kasherable for dining ware. A technique has been devised by hobbyists to inexpensively create artificial sapphire, chemically known as corundum, from aluminum oxide powder with elements for coloring, using a microwave oven for fusing. This now makes sapphire accessible as an art material even if not gem grade. It can melt at several thousand degrees when growing lab-created gemstone or laser crystals. The microwave oven emulates this process for small quantities and brief moments. Sapphire can only be worked with diamond abrasives. Glass is in the general class of silicon based materials, adding either sodium for common glass or boron for Pyrex. Glass melts about 800 Fahrenheit. Hence sapphire differs chemically from glass. Glass can be molded or blown. For additional reference, porcelain, which is also non kasherable, is based on kaolin, which is mined from river banks typically, and fires at about 2000 Fahrenheit into a glasslike substance. I am hoping artificial sapphire would be better than glass or porcelain for kashering since natural sapphire is considered stone by the rabbis. Mere glass is considered permeable here. Thank you for considering this question.
