Description

In this Shiur, we outline the major issues in the Sugya of Gevinat Akum, cheese of non-Jews, including the murky origins of the Gezeirah, the reason for the prohibition, what Jewish intervention is needed to address the concern, and the surprising leniency of Rav Soloveitchik to eat Kraft cheese (without ruling similarly for the public).
