    Rabbi Dovid Cohen Administrative Rabbinic Coordinator, cRc FIRST TIME MAKING PESACH A cheat sheet for the rest of us Preparing for Pesach takes effort, but with a bit of planning and focus it is possible to succeed and welcome Yom Tov positively. This article’s goal is not to provide details and instructions, but rather to provide a framework of what must be done and issues to consider, and guidance on how to learn more about those topics. The “Tell Me More” sidebars reference articles in the cRc 2021 Pesach Guide where more information is available on a given topic. This article is written specifically for those who have never made Pesach at home or have not done so for many years, but also may be a good overview for those who have more experience. A) SCHEDULE if we will be home on Pesach, then we must also clean our houses to ensure we do not accidentally eat any chametz on Finding ways to be organized and scheduled goes a long Pesach. We identify all chametz, and either destroy it or put it way towards having a successful preparatory Pesach season. into a closet, cabinet, or room that will be closed for Yom Tov Many find it helpful to work backwards, thinking which jobs and sold to a non-Jew.1 should or must happen on Erev Pesach, which in the days before that, etc. so that they roughly plan when each item Which foods are chametz and must be removed? The will get taken care of. letter of the law is that only items which meet these three requirements must be removed: In this context it is worth noting that many Pesach tasks can be performed well in advance of Yom Tov.

  • Special Guidance for Passover 2020
    APRIL 6, 2020 SPECIAL GUIDANCE FOR PASSOVER 2020 Rabbi Adam Zeff Dear friends, Every Pesah is different, but we approach the Passover season this year in extraordinarily difficult times. The story of the Exodus from Egypt asks us to identify ourselves with the suffering of the Israelites, filled with anxiety, fear, and distress, worried for their families and for their lives. This year more than any in recent memory that identification rings true. But the Jewish people have celebrated this Festival of Freedom in difficult circumstances before, and we will manage to do so this year as well! To that end, I wanted to provide some guidance and resources for these special circumstances and for changes we may need to make to our traditional celebrations as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to shape every aspect of our lives. Learning in advance How to Lead a Seder: an online resource to help prepare those of us who may unexpectedly be leading our own seder to do so. It covers: • How can we get meaning out of the haggadah this year? • What are the really essential parts of a seder? • Is it really possible to lead a seder on Zoom?? (hint: yes!) Tips on organizing a seder in the time of COVID-19 Visit www.phila.gov/COVID for more information • Text COVIDPHL to 888-777 to receive updates to your phone Call (800) 722-7112 to speak to a health care professional on the Greater Philadelphia Coronavirus Helpline 1 APRIL 6, 2020 • No (physical) guests: Following the guidance of public health authorities, we should not gather physically even in small groups except for household members.

  • Bloomsburg Investment Group
    Bloomsburg Investment Group Equity Analysis The Procter & Gamble Company (PG) Analyst: Gerrick Hardy, Class of 2021 Trevor Luzi, Mackenzie Gross, Class of 2022 Bloomsburg Investment Group Opinion: After our group's thorough analysis, we believe it is in the best interest of the group if our holding in Procter & Gamble (PG) is partially liquidated. Although our group remains bullish about the company, we think taking some profits from PG's recent run-up and allocating funds elsewhere in the sector would be most beneficial. While the company has provided strong organic growth in each of the two previous quarters, a number of headwinds remain in the way which will likely restrict future growth. A stronger U.S. Dollar has essentially offset the organic revenue growth, and the rise in transportation costs and commodity prices has and will likely continue to squeeze the margins of PG. With consumer tastes trending towards less expensive generic brands, customers may not respond favorably to recent price increases of some of Procter & Gamble’s largest brands. Our sector believes PG is currently trading at a premium that will not be satisfied with future growth. Despite all of this, we are still bullish because of the high dividend yield that the company has increased for 62 consecutive years, wide array of brand offerings, and brand loyalty and recognition, among other factors. Considering cross-current risks that exist in the macroeconomic environment and the potential of an upcoming recession or economic downturn, Procter & Gamble will continue to provide stable growth and hedge our portfolio. Corporate Summary: Corporate Details: Name Procter & Gamble Co The Procter & Gamble Company, founded in 1837, is Ticker PG a global manufacturer and distributor of household Domicile United States goods.

The article has been renamed The Mysterious Wait with the original The question is, how long is the interval first section discussing the source for waiting three hours between meat and dairy. The newly added second between one meal and another? section discusses the sources for waiting six hours or part of the sixth hour. Some have suggested that those who wait three hours may understand Mar Ukva to be THE MYSTERIOUS WAIT referring to the interval between breakfast and lunch (a short, three-hour period) rather An Analysis of Various Minhagim Concerning Waiting than between lunch and dinner (a longer period). This explanation, however, presents Between Meat and Dairy a difficulty. Tosfos in Chulin 105A tells us that in Mar Ukva’s time only two meals RABBI YOSEF GROSSMAN were eaten daily. Presumably, when Mar Senior Educational Rabbinic Coordinator; Editor - The Daf HaKashrus Ukva stated that he waited between eating meat and eating dairy just the normal inter- val between meals, he was referring to the PART 1: THE THREE-HOUR WAIT The source for this minhag is shrouded in two daily meals that people ate in his time.
