  • KASHRUS ALERTS September 22, 2019  a Service of the COR of Greater Detroit
    KASHRUS ALERTS September 22, 2019 A Service of the COR of Greater Detroit [Page 1] HONEY: • Standard honey goes through a filtering process, which removes the non-Kosher bee parts. Even “raw and unfiltered” honey is usually strained, to remove the bee parts. However, some completely unprocessed honeys are neither filtered nor strained. If the label or the manufacturer states that the honey is not strained, or if bee parts are visible, that honey should be avoided or should be strained by the consumer. • Please be aware that “ Forest honey”, “ Honeydew honey”, and “ Beechwood honey” (or honey named after other types of trees such as Pine, Fir, Oak, etc.), generally refer to honey produced by bees that have consumed the non-Kosher excretions of aphids and scale insects left on trees (as opposed to standard honey produced from flower nectar). These are not considered Kosher according to some opinions, and should be avoided. • “Royal Jelly” is a bee product that, unlike regular honey, is an actual secretion of the bee. Some Poskim therefore rule that it is not included in the permitted category of “honey”, and it should be avoided. FISH HEADS: [From New Square Kashrus Council] • White fish: White fish heads are free of infestation concern. • Salmon/Baby salmon: Salmon heads [even farm raised] are commonly infested with salmon lice (small brownish parasites ranging in size from approximately 1-3 cm). · The entire gills must be removed. (It may be easier to first cut the head in half before cleaning). · Rinse the head thoroughly with water while rubbing all surfaces of the head (inside and outside), including all cracks, crevices and folds, and under and around the tongue.

The goal of this publication, since it's inception two years ago is to publish articles dedicated to Halachic inquiries of a contemporary nature relating to the Chagim. Over the years community members have provided feedback that it would be beneficial to focus on topics which have a more Practical Halachic bend, as well as an article focusing on the Hashkafic significance of the particular Chag. The feed- back is greatly appreciated and the Bulletin continues to strive to respond to that call. This issue includes a Halachic article written by Rabbi Moshe Walter regarding the propri- ety of using cosmetics and toiletries on Pesach which are laced with Chametz, an article written by Rabbi Mordechai Rhine on how to facilitate a memorable Pesach Seder for today's generation, and an article written by Rabbi Dovid Rosenbaum explaining the role and function of the Vaad HaRabanim of Greater Washington.

Only bread made from the five grains (wheat, barley, spelt, oats and rye) is prohibited since these are chashuv8 and will bring one to come close to non-Jews.9 Rice bread and corn bread are excluded from the gezeira.10 In addition, any other grains which are not part of the five grains mentioned above are also excluded from the gezeira.11 If an item which is not included in the gezeira is mixed with an item which is included one should follow the rov (majority) of the ingredients.12 2.

  • Chinuch’= Religious Education of Jewish Children and Youngsters
    ‘Chinuch’= Religious Education of Jewish Children and Youngsters Prof. Rabbi Ahron Daum teaches his youngest daughter Hadassah Yemima to kindle the Chanukah-lights during a family vacation to Israel, 1997 1 ‘Chinuch’ =Jewish Religious Education of Children Including: Preparation Program for ‘Giyur’ of Children: Age 3 – 18 1. ‘Chinuch’ definition: The Festival of Chanukah probably introduced the word “Chinuch” to Judaism. This means to introduce the child to Judaism and to dedicate and inaugurate him in the practice of ‘Mitzvot’. The parents, both mother and father, are the most important persons in the Jewish religious education of the child. The duty of religious education already starts during the period of pregnancy. Then the child is shaped and we should influence this process by not speaking ugly words, shouting, listening to bad music etc, but shaping it in a quiet, peaceful and harmonious atmosphere. After being born, the child already starts its first steps with “kashrut” by being fed with mother’s milk or with kosher baby formula. 2 The Midrash states that when the Jewish people stood at Mount Sinai to receive the Torah, they were asked by G-d for a guarantee that they would indeed observe the Torah in the future. The only security which God was willing to accept, concludes the Midrash, was the children of the Jewish people. This highlights the overwhelming significance of ‘Chinuch’. The duty to train children in ‘Mitzvah’-observance is rabbinic in nature. Parents are rabbinic ally obligated to make sure that their children observe the Torah, so that they will be accustomed to doing this when they reach the age of adulthood.

  • Shavuos2 (Read-Only)
    Kosher Connections Dairy Bread During the me of the Beis HaMikdash, there was a unique korban offered on Shavuos which contained two loaves of bread and was known as the shtei halechem (two breads), and to commemorate this a custom developed to eat dairy and meat at the same meal (Rema OC 494:2). How does that custom remind us of the shtei halechem? The answer is that a loaf of bread which was used at a dairy meal should not be used at a meat meal (or vice versa) because of a concern that there might be some residue of dairy on the bread (see Rema YD 88:2). Therefore, by serving dairy and then meat at one meal, the parcipants will be required to have two sepa- rate loaves of bread, and those two loaves are a reminder of the two loaves of bread offered in the Beis HaMikdash. Our discussion will focus on the following related halacha which applies year round. Because bread is a staple food which is made of simple, pareve ingredients and was commonly eaten with every meal. Chazal were similarly concerned that if bread was made with animal fat or with milk people would mistakenly eat it with the “other” type; there- fore, they forbade one from making bread which is fleishig or milchig, and also said that such bread may not be eaten at all.1 A few years ago, the cRc was asked to cerfy a large commercial bakery and found that just about every product they made contained milk powder which meant that none of the products could be cerfied.

    Keeping Kosher in the U.S.A. The Harvard community has made this article openly available. Please share how this access benefits you. Your story matters Citation Keeping Kosher in the U.S.A. (2002 Third Year Paper) Citable link http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:8852119 Terms of Use This article was downloaded from Harvard University’s DASH repository, and is made available under the terms and conditions applicable to Other Posted Material, as set forth at http:// nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:dash.current.terms-of- use#LAA Introduction Every waking moment should be governed by the laws of the Torah. Every action must accord with Torah principles. Torah law dictates which shoe one should put on first.1 There are also various laws relating to the bathroom.2 The Torah also teaches not only that one must pray three times a day, but also that the three prayers must each be recited during their respective specific time periods, as laid out by Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.3 With this in mind, it should come as no surprise that the Torah regulates what a Jew may eat and drink. Upon completing one of its renditions of the Jewish dietary laws, the Torah states that Jews have an obligation ‘‘to distinguish,’’ or ‘‘l’havdil’’ (in the original Hebrew) ‘‘between the contaminated and the pure, and between the animal that may eaten and the animal that may not be eaten.’’4 Rashi5 explains that the obligation goes beyond merely reading through the Torah passages that discuss these laws; rather one must learn the laws until he knows them, recognizes them, and is an expert in them.6 It is with this in mind that I now begin to scratch the surface of the Jewish dietary laws.
