In this episode, we pour a fresh glass and dive into the world of Cholov Yisrael—the kosher dairy standard that has sparked halachic debates, community customs, and more than a few refrigerator-label obsessions. We'll explore what Cholov Yisrael actually is, why some Jews insist on it while others rely on standard kosher-certified milk, and how a centuries-old concern about cows and supervision lives on in the age of factory farming and security cameras. It's a story of tradition, trust, and dairy with a dash of drama. Grab a cookie—this one goes great with milk.
