"Rabbi Rosenbaum has translated the SCD™book to Hebrew, and there are two stores that sell DCCC and homemade SCD™yoghurt in Israel. From what I know, he doesn't have an email address or web site.

He has a monthly newsletter in Hebrew and he said he has something for beginners to ease them into the diet.”
