Something about a hechsher
“Tzedek” it did say
Is it the “Bais Din Tzedek”?
My friend, I say, “No way!”
This new “Tzedek” type of food
Kosher? I don’t know!
It’s all about positioning
They’re putting on a show
They do not care
If milk and meat
Perhaps were somehow mixed
Just use organic
Pesticides
And the problem is now fixed
And if your great machinery
Runs on eco-fuel
Then you can add some cochineal
They think that’s really cool
If women are
Worked hard like men
With equal pay and rights
Then Hechser Tzedek’s
Got your back
The Rabbah for you fights
They’ll spread their symbol
All around
With every chance they can
And Torah will be
Governed by
Their underhanded plan
They’ll mask it with
A Magen
And say it’s just a seal
That helps “Tikkun Olam”
And then…
Throws innocents in jail
The sukkah that
You built last fall
Does it have Hechsher Tzedek?
If builders were not
Union men
Then that will be your headache!
And is your Arba Minim’s
Lulav from El Arish?
What did they pay the laborer?
No hechsher there!
Kapish?
The menorah that you’re lighting
I think this is no joke
Polluting the environment
With oil, flames and smoke!
The Torah that you have in shul
How did they get the klaf?
Were PETA kooks consulted
Before they took it off?
Perhaps they’ll take it farther
And say there’s no more meat
Whatever PETA will dictate
That standard they shall meet
What Shulchan Aruch dictates
Means nothing to that creed
It’s the morals of the HUC
That they decide to heed
No hechsher for Shavuos!
No blintzes filled with cheese!
Have you heard of cholesterol
That causes heart disease?
“Oh yes,” their ‘rabbis’
Tell the world
“We live in a new age
And kashrus means not Torah laws
But paying proper wage
“And we don’t care
What Karo says
Forget about the Shach
Was he not some rabbi
Who lived in Benei Brak?
“Of course we love tradition
And eat gefilta fishes
As long as they’re not
Caught with nets
According to our wishes!
“Who cares if it’s a swordfish?
Perhaps a catfish too
Fins and scales don’t matter now
The laws we shall renew!
“Oh yes, my friend
We’re wiser!
‘Cause we got Avi’s crew
We’re redefining moral
And Shulchan Aruch too!
And no one wants
To fight with them
‘Cause “we’re ethical too!”
Just watch! Perhaps
We’ll see the day
That they replace OU!
