As you may recall, several years ago, TLS assisted in the recovery and proper burial for dozens of bags of Shaimos found abandoned in Lakewood.

After we were made aware of the abandoned Shaimos, bids were placed on the locker’s contents, to ensure proper Kavod to begin collecting the bags and boxes. Then, equipped with trucks, volunteers shlepped hundreds of bags and boxes of Shaimos, loading them onto the truck to prepare them for burial.

As a result of the incident, TLS stated at the time we would no longer be accepting Shaimos ads without a Hechsher. And the same applies for this year as well.

As a consumer, be sure you are dealing with a reliable Shaimos organization.
