L.A. Yashan List
A community resource for finding kosher establishments and their Yashan status across Los Angeles
Yashan Background:
The Mishnah Berurah (489:45 and Biur Halacha) relates that because of the difficulty in keeping yashan, historically most people were lenient by relying on heterim based on multiple doubts of the origin of the wheat products in Europe. Nevertheless, the Mishnah Berurah encourages everyone to at least attempt some level of Yashan observance.
Many are not aware that keeping Yashan in Los Angeles is easier than they think. Thus we are providing a list below of the establishments and products that are Chezkat Yashan.
Please note: Some establishments do not have a Certification agency verifying the status.
