TightFit Responds to Rabbi’s Concern Over ‘Assraelis’

VAN NUYS, Calif. — “Assraelis,” a new title from TightFit Productions will be released with a sticker covering the box cover’s kosher symbol, after a rabbi objected to the use of the religious mark.

TightFit Vice President of sales Joanie Lee told XBIZ that rabbi Yehuda Rosenbaum of KOF-K Kosher Certification, a New Jersey company that stamps its seal of approval on kosher items, called the company to express his concern about the mark.

“I spoke with the rabbi and he was very pleasant,” Lee said. “He said he had sent us a cease-and-desist letter, asking us to refrain from using the mark. I told him that we planned to put a sticker over the kosher symbol, which pleased him.”

The symbol, normally used for rabbi-ordained meats and grains, was added to certify TightFit's cover claim of full Israeli authenticity. KOF-K claimed that TightFit used the symbol in violation of state and federal law and planned to sue if the situation was not rectified quickly.

According to Lee, the problem, which was earlier reported on the legal gossip blog TMZ as a flap between porn and religion, has been solved amicably and without incident.

The Hebrew language “Assraelis,” which was shot entirely in Israel with local talent, streets next week.
