Vintage Grain provides a wealth of well-researched information about Yoshon in a format and writing style that makes for a very pleasant read. This reviewer is not capable of writing haskomos but believes the book will leave readers with a better understanding of the halachic factors and ramifications as well as greater comfort in practicing this hanhagah should they so choose. Vintage Grain also includes a fascinating outline of the development of the American kosher industry that many may find quite nostalgic. --- Rabbi Yitzchok Preis, Director of Outreach Cincinnati Community Kollel, Rosh Kollel Dirshu Cincinnati, and Judaic Studies faculty Atara Girls High School
