1. "glatt" kosher ice cream?!
tom ,   toronto, canada   (02.20.10)
there is no such thing as "glatt kosher ice cream". "glatt kosher" is not a general term for "extra kosher", but a very specific reference to beef, and only beef. its arbitrary use to refer to non-beef (poultry or even dairy) shows a lack of understanding of the term, and makes about as much sense as "kosher pork". using meaningless terms does not add credibility to your reporting.
2. glatt kosher ice cream shop
sas ,   israel   (02.20.10)
"VERY" important.................................
3. Glatt Kosher Icecream who needs it
Norman Gellman ,   Rehovot Israel   (02.20.10)
Separating dairy from parave is a good thing, separating the sexes is more charidi nonsense. The kids will sit together outside the store, preventing natural instincts is a very difficult task. Who said 16th century morals should be the morals of today.
4. oxymoron
The Last Zionist ,   Eilat   (02.20.10)
high quality low fat ice cream. Yuks, enjoy life just don't over do it.
5. The madness continues
Sagi   (02.20.10)
and eventually the loonies will run the asylum. I hope I am long gone by then, six feet under or six thousand miles away. I know it's going to happen and I don't want to see it.
6. Ice cream cam be Mhadrin,not GLATT!
sam ,   USA   (02.21.10)
7. #1 glatt means THEY WILL NOT USE THE BACK OF THE ICE CREAM
.....DACON9   (02.21.10)
EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT #1 AS FAR AS 'KOSHER PORK''..? that means tehy will put bacon on matzah for pesach.... GEE WHASSAMADDER WID YOU GUYS..... YOU ALL NEED TO COME BACK TO BROOKLYN FOR A RE-EDUCATION
8. Won't those "haredi messengers" encounter women in Italy?
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (02.21.10)
"Four haredi messengers have been sent to Italy to specialize in the ice cream's preparation." Uh, do those haredim think they won't encounter women at almost every turn on that trip to Italy? Will they only work with men at the company's factory? So why do the folks back home obsess about gender separation?
9. Eating Icecream
Joe ,   Israel   (02.21.10)
10. Eating in Public
Joe ,   Israel   (02.21.10)
The Talmud frowns upon eating in public and compares one who eats in public to a dog. The vendors of this Haredi icecream should advise the purchasers, old and young to quickly take the ice cream home and not consume it in public.
11. most gelato is not made with gelatin
observer   (02.21.10)
Commercially,10% is made with gelatin derived from pork skin. That is Not pareve, not agar-agar
12. No way ice cream can be "glatt"
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (02.21.10)
"Glatt" refers only to animal shechita. Ice cream can be "cholov yisroel" or "mehadrin"
13. They'll fail, since glatt kosher ice cream cannot exist!!!
Michael ,   Toronto   (02.21.10)
"Glatt" means "smooth", referring to the fact that an animal's lungs were smooth on the inside, with no protrusions. Anyway, I'd like to know how ynet knows that they are take-out in order to avoid guys and girls mingling?
14. The fastest growing market in the Jewish world
Al   (02.21.10)
are those services catering to the Religious Community. Those are the facts. As far as those who love to hate the haredim. I suggest you get friendly with a PHilipina caregiver for I see her in your future as she will be changing your 'depends'. You will not be able to 'depend' on your kids for you had very few of them and they are too busy cruising the world looking for adventure. Awe the power of the womb! Israel is moving very quickly to a religious society.
15. Maybe it IS glatt ice-cream
Yoni R. ,   Modiin, Israel   (02.21.10)
Since "glatt" means "smooth", perhaps they mean that the ice-cream will not be lumpy or gritty, but rather of high-quality having a nice, creamy texture.
16. Hey, have to spend that govt. dole check on something
Cameron ,   USA   (02.21.10)
A new wardrobe is out, so religiously-approved ice cream it is!
17. #10.NOT SNACKS, YOU ARE STRETCHINIG INAPPROPRIATLY

18. Y'aleh Habibi! How 'bout some of that in Elad, hm??? :)

19. #16-Cameron, dude:Lay off, Americano. I'm Haredi, I work
(02.21.10)
...and if I wanna spend some of my hard-earned money on Arack flavored ice cream, it's none of your dang business. ....and Sagi, if my licking an Ice cream disturbs you so, it's much easier to just look away -- you don't have to go dying or anything so dramatic. Really, hon. Priorities. Don't y'all have anything better to do than prowling ynet for every article that contains the word "Haredi" to carry on about?
20. when licked, not eaten; every ice cream is kosher
observer   (02.21.10)
21. yay!!!
Rebecca ,   Tzfat   (02.22.10)
people should stop being so cynical and just be happy about more yummy ice cream
