@Scimonster as you've seen, while the publications are community projects (of course), each one has had somebody who's been the primary organizer/nudger/herder of cats. You've been involved in past ones so you've seen how this goes -- broad-ranging ideas & candidate questions need to be collected and sifted through and organized, editors & other contributors need to be organized, some sense of schedule needs to be paid attention to. Are you interested in being that person for the haggadah update?

It's not mine to offer and I'm not trying to step on any toes; this is just a query about interest.

Just speaking for myself (@IsaacMoses might feel differently), DOA-MY? was a big effort and fairly recent. I'd like to see a haggadah update. I'm not ready to organize it just yet. New leadership for one of our projects would be awesome, and this one -- where there's an existing work already, so we're not starting from scratch -- seems a good opportunity for someone who hasn't done it before.

anyone know where I can find a copy of ספר המכתם on Berachos online? (ping @DoubleAA)

@Yez I don't see it on hebrewbooks.org (though I assume you checked there already anyway) or on Dr. Tanen's list.

For 6 years we had erroneous info in a highly upvoted answer. Sigh :(

@DoubleAA B"H there is no statute of limitations on editing.

@IsaacMoses Too bad there is on Poskim writing. All these people nowadays running around pretending you don't need to wash on pizza just because some Poseik died before American culinary practices solidified, when we all know pizza is currently treated as a meal food. It's embarrassing. An Israeli Oleh even told me he still doesn't wash, when no Israeli Poseik ever had a Hava Amina that pizza there was a snack food. Amazing the cognitive dissonance that people use to avoid washing/benching...

There's no Halakha that says the culinary use of pizza in the town your grandfather's rabbi used to live in determines what the Bracha is in your current locale.

@DoubleAA What the observant Jews in your town generally do now may be material, though. IANAP.

@IsaacMoses Indeed. And I'll tell you what they do with overwhelming consistency: they eat pizza primarily at meals.

The Halachic literature of a millenium from now may feature a shi'ur called keprusotayim that people debate about the size of.

@IsaacMoses How often do you see someone actually not wash their hands when eating pizza?

Everyone I know always washes for pizza

@Daniel You live in Chicago. Pizza's different there. :)

@IsaacMoses Not anymore

@IsaacMoses And (unfortunately) very few of the kosher pizza places in Chicago even offer Chicago-style pizza

(only one that I know of, and that place has better things on the menu than the pizza)

@Daniel Slice of Life does, right?

@IsaacMoses That's the one

"R' Daniel came in from the West. He said 'We always wash for pizza.' But in the West, their pizza was deeper."

And I'm certainly no expert in non-kosher pizza but I can tell you that the deep-dish pizza they serve there doesn't look like the non-kosher versions I've seen

@IsaacMoses It's a tragedy that in Chicago of all places, the kosher pizza places try to imitate New York style pizza

Although there has been a rumor for years that Chabad was going to be opening a kosher branch of one of the famous Chicago-style pizza places

@Daniel "New York values" invading the rest of the country. (Sorry.)

@Daniel They'd have to find Cholov Yisroel cheese of sufficiently high quality.

@IsaacMoses Yep, but I don't know if that's the issue that's slowing them down

@Daniel Restauranting is hard.

@IsaacMoses Or maybe it will be a kosher restaurant that they don't hold by (like the eruvin Chabads tend to put up wherever they go)

@Daniel I suspect that if you're trying to match the quality of high-grade non-kosher pizza, the requisite cheese, even if Chalav Stam but reliably certified kosher (e.g. OU-D) would present a significantly higher expense. That could make it hard to convert a non-kosher shop in-place, since it could change the whole cost/pricing model.

@IsaacMoses yeah I think you're right. I don't think that's their plan. My understanding was that they were planning on opening a new store inside their Chabad house

@DoubleAA On page 5, it says around 10% of pizza consumption is at snacktime. That must have at least some significance.

@Scimonster I fail to understand the basis of your use of the term "must". 90% seems like a pretty definitive basis for deciding what the standard/primary/normal use is. Why "must" the 10% matter? Do you have another place in Halakha where 10% of use is significant enough to define the local practice?

All this discussion about pizza makes me want to go wash, say hamotzi, eat a slice, and then bensch.

@Daniel I don't blame them.

@Daniel I doubt they'd have non-chalav Yisrael. Lubavitch TTBOMK does not hold of R. Moshe's heter, period. So chalav ha-companies is for most intents and purposes treif.

@Daniel You're a good Jew. You have three times as much desire to do a mitzva as to eat pizza.

@IsaacMoses Explain obscure reference, please. (Googling "came in from the east|north|south|west he|she said" didn't help me.)

I live in St. Louis, but have never had St. Louis-style pizza or provel cheese. I've never heard of anyone selling a kosher instance of either of them.
