Kashrut demands get stricter every year (Haaretz - Israel News)
"Every year the level of koshering utensils, which were never koshered in the past, rises; demands to replace utensils that were not replaced in previous years, which adds up to expenses of millions of shekels," said an Eilat hotelier this week, complaining about the stricter requirements of making Eilat hotels kosher for the week of Passover.
"In previous years we were able to reach agreements, but this year the Eilat Religious Council is puting on more pressure and larger monetary demands than in the past," said the hotelier, complaining about the requirements.

Hotel managements say that things were very different just a few years ago, when they were allowed to conduct the Passover Seder using microphones, and now they may not. They also cannot play music in the lobby on the holiday any longer on Fridays and holidays. The hoteliers are complaining this year in particular of the unvoiced threats by the Religious Council to take away their kashrut certificates.
