The Shatnez Lab of Houston has been organized, with the assistance of Rabbi Wender of the Young Israel of Houston, to serve the community with accurate, speedy, and economical shatnez checking. All checkers have been trained by Rabbi Yosef Sayagh of the Lakewood Shatnez Laboratory, and are part of his world-wide network of checkers. Frequent alerts are disseminated regarding unusual and unexpected discoveries of shatnez, to which the Houston lab has contributed.
