  • 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.

Some people only use these Esrogim. In Lubavitch especially, they're held in high regard. Usually, they're plentiful and cheap. This year, there was some issues with the crops.

What's with Esrogim from Kfar Chabad? They're not available?

1- משמני הארץ.
2 - There is a tradition, that when the yidden were in the מדבר, they used Yanover esrogim.
3 - There is a mesorah that they are not מורכב.

I have a friend who travels to Italy every year and cuts them himself. I think his prices start at $200 or $300. You can PM me for details.
If you don't care why would you comment?

In CH I'm paying $100 more than last year for similar/lesser quality Italian

Kfar Chabad 'Yanover' are around, considerably cheaper than Italian, but also feeling a small 'tag-along' price bump.

IINM a lot of OOT (miami etc.) gets orders shipped from NY suppliers

I was referring to the cost on a usual year. I didn't check yet this year. I usually go to the trailer across the avenue of Shoimer Shabbos. Rabbi Weinberger.

Same place as every year. (Though I did mention to them that I think they the fact that they put in the ads that they have Kfar Chabad available due to the shortage, tarnishes their brand. I was told that that was NOT put there for anyone who would otherwise buy a Kfar Chabad esrog, but mostly for people that buy sets for others in their community, who might not be ready to spend this year's prices on Yanover sets).

One thing I can tell you that I fear as a result of this year's situation: the merchants might fall in love with the seller's market, where you just say thank you for whatever you get for triple the price you would normally pay, without trying to look too much for something better.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Those of us who would only buy Yanover might be totally clueless about Kfar Chabad prices.
