Anyone have updated kashrut info regarding Dinitz and King Solomon? I saw some reports in the thread, but wasn't sure if things had changed/become more clear.

Avoid King Solomon. Not sure about Dinitz but Shelanu is very good. And a reliable hechsher too.

Do you need to get in touch with someone to get to the Noda BiYehuda's kever, or you just go at the times it's open?
