Against an Upcoming "Chassidic Pop" Concert in London Translation of the letter from the Rabbis of London:
Since a Concert is being planned to take place soon in our city, that is a means to break down the tznius and purity of our community, and the Gedolei Hador have seen that this brings a foreign culture into the tents of Yaakov, and have expressed strong opposition to this, and have forbidden to participate in these concerts. Therefore we join in their proclamation, and all those who care for their souls must stay far away from this and ensure that the members of their families do not go to these places. And all those who listen to us will be guarded from all danger. by Devorah Plaut 1. Onions

For now, your best bet is the Gush Katif onions, which do not have to be checked at all, or the imported onions, whose first and outside-of-the-second layers should be washed or checked. Regular Israeli-grown onions must still be cleaned or checked layer by layer.

Lately, women in Eretz Yisrael and throughout the world have enacted a great kiddush Hashem, both as they patiently waited for a ruling to issue forth from our godol hador, HaRav Eliashiv, shlita, and after hearing his psak, when they immediately refrained from wearing those sheitels which originated in India and are to be considered idolatrous offerings. Surely this great merit will stand solidly for the redemption and consolation of all Klal Yisrael.
