What's with these speakers. They go free? Or get paid separate for their services?
I think it varies by speaker and place

Apparently a person once asked him during Pesach if Garlic was used (many in Lubavitch don't use it, without a טעם), and was upset to find out that the answer was in the affirmative.
Was this at FFH?

That's not even counting the 24 hour tea room situations. Man oh man, it'll be good for me taking a break this year.

For those of us who are not fluent in hebrew, can you explain what's going on?
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Says that if you go to a hotel for pesach, a snake is going to come eat you unless your wife does a bris on your kid with a rock.

Main points are that kashering commercial kitchen equipment requires a lot of knowledge and skill, and in many cases is virtually impossible. That many Mashgichim are not knowledgable enough in the complexities of the supervision, and that there probably isn't a sufficient number of mashgichim that would be required to do a proper job.

Kashering does not need to be done by the team which will be on site.

don't you just need experts to set the protocols?

Correct, but a Kashering team obviously does need to get on site for that purpose.

To put things in context, I believe the article is mostly referring to programs marketed in Israel (and Europe) which take place in European destinations.

Like get the good doctor to set the protocols while some guy who has never been in an operating room just follows them.
