Уважаемый Рав, шалом. Мы делаем дома фаршированные виноградные листья. Эти листья сорвали и хорошо промыли водой. Есть ли всё ещё проблема с насекомыми, из-за которой их лучше не есть? Верно это или нет? Спасибо.

Look, when it comes to stuffed grape leaves, you need to be extremely careful with checking for insects. This is not something you can take lightly. Every time you eat a bug, it's like eating pig six times - it's actually worse than eating treif meat. Here's what you need to understand: grape leaves, like all vegetables and leaves, can have insects hiding in them. You cannot just rinse them once and think you're done. That's not how kashrus works. You need to wash each leaf thoroughly, one by one, checking against the light. Use salt or soap if necessary to make sure every leaf is completely clean. The halacha is very strict on this. You need to unfold each leaf and inspect it carefully because bugs can hide in the folds. If even one bug remains on your grape leaves and you eat it, you've violated multiple Torah prohibitions. This is not a chumra, this is basic halacha. When you're preparing stuffed grape leaves, wash each leaf separately, check it against light, and make sure there are no insects whatsoever. This takes time and effort, yes, but that's what HaShem demands from us. We're a holy nation, and we have to act differently from the rest of the world. Don't rely on anyone else to do this for you unless you know for certain they understand these halachos and will follow them meticulously. This is your responsibility, and you will be held accountable for every insect you consume, whether you saw it or not.
