+1.  Might have to make a trip out to Lakewood :D

Weird to do it in a litvishe community and not in a huge lubab community like PIT.

The only ones that have a hashgacha are the ones in Lakewood?
The one in PIT is kosher, but I've never heard of anything cholov yisroel there.  I'll hit it up tomorrow though and report back.

They have Rita's in the pitts? I think I might  have to change my post in the pitts master thread...

spoke to s/o in lakewood , he said hechsher is rabbi yaffe, but there is not much that he is giving a hechsher on b/c the cholov yis is the reg kleins ices choc vanilla (not sure why they call it custard) they are not really preparing it just serving it (he is supposed to make sure they use a dif machine)

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

Not sure what a mashgiach temidi has to do with it. The same way the ices and custard have a hechsher without being cholov yisroel. A mashgiach temidi is not what would make it cholov yisroel. Especially when they have the kleins ice cream. I have had Rita's custard before (when I'm out of lkwd ;)) and it is unreal!! thereby me being disappointed! (I hope that made sense.
