Leafy vegetables will require special prep to comply with the laws of b’dikas tolaim. New utensils require dipping in the mikvah. New kitchen utensils will require the additional step of properly marking them meat/dairy. Any meat/dairy utensils that got mixed up may require re-kashering. Even as the day winds down we need to be mindful of how we leave the dietary department. For one, the kitchen and pantries need to be secured for the evening. Also, meat sandwich snacks are left in the individual pantries for residents to snack on. They need to be properly marked and sealed for kashrus.

How do you staff such a facility for its kashrus? Good question. The residents live here. Thus, the kitchen is open 365 days a year. Like any hotel kitchen, any time the kitchen is open there needs to be a kosher supervisor on duty at all times. That means someone needs to be on duty Shabbos, , Pesach Seder night, Sukkos, etc. I think of our staff sometimes as the lone soldiers on the front. They really go the extra mile to serve the community.

Now that Pesach is around the corner, may I dare ask how you prepare for Pesach? Planning is at the heart of a successful Pesach program. We are a nursing care facility. We must meet nutrition requirements while adhering to the laws of Pesach. Pesach preparation actually starts months in advance. Food orders must be in early enough to meet special production schedules at processing plants. Deep cleaning of equipment takes place TAG IS EXPANDING! in the weeks leading up to the days of actual kashering. Kashering itself can take in excess of 100 man-hours. Mind COME VISIT OUR NEW OFFICE AT 1463 WARRENSVILLE CENTER ROAD | SUITE 103 you that during the period of kashering food service needs to SUN 1:00-3:00 | WED 5:30-7:30 continue unabated. It is a very intense process requiring a lot of detailed planning that has to be fl awlessly executed.

No pun intended but it seems you have a lot on your plate. I do. However, it is a team effort and I have a good team. Administration at Montefi ore has been very supportive of the kashrus program and that trickles down to staff. We have a good rapport with all departments within the facility. We are constantly training and educating.

Any fi nal thoughts? The job can be very demanding. However, when I see the appreciation family members have, knowing that they have a kosher facility here in the community, it gives me a sense of satisfaction.

Where Jewish Tradition Endures PRQWHƩRUHFDUHRUJŢ

30 Cleveland Kosher | 440.347.0264 | clevelandkosher.org Rabbi Shimon Gutman Kashrus Administrator

here are many customs that permeate the Yom Tov of Pesach. One that seems to affect the plate and Tpalate is the custom of not eating legumes or . Origins of Custom – The custom dates back to the Gaonim era with the following reasons: Chometz grains and kitniyos were processed in close proximity. There was the possibility of chometz grain being mixed inadvertently into the kitniyos grain. Another reason suggested is, if corn fl our or rice fl our were permitted some people might confuse it for wheat fl our and permit that also. Although the custom was only accepted in Ashkenazic communities, there are important ramifi cations that apply to those of Sephardic origin as well. Rice may be fortifi ed with vitamins that contain chometz. Corn syrup may contain enzymes that were grown on chometz. What is Forbidden – Kitniyos and their direct derivatives are forbidden for oral consumption by a healthy person. However, it is permitted to benefi t from kitniyos on Pesach i.e. using the oil as a fuel for light or heat. Also, it is permitted for oral consumption by the ill and infi rm, provided that separate utensils are used. Kitniyos Shenishtanu – There are a number of ingredients that are derived from kitniyos. Some, such as soybean oil are direct derivatives while others such as citric acid, ascorbic acid, aspartame, sodium erythorbate and are more distant derivatives. According to most opinions, Kitniyos based oils are considered a kitniyos product and are not permitted for Pesach use (see Maharsham 1:183 for a dissenting opinion). Aspartame on the other hand goes through a complete transformation from its original state of corn. The halachic background for this distinction is based on the Rosh (Brochos 6:35) and Rabbeinu Yonah. There was a certain scent used in cooking that was derived from the gland of a non-kosher animal. Rabbeinu Yonah permitted its use, as there was a complete transformation from its original state as a gland. The Rosh on the other hand considered the transformation to be non-consequential and therefore ruled that the scent remained forbidden as before. The general consensus (Mishna Brurah 216:7) among the poskim is to be stringent when an ingredient involves an issur Torah and to be lenient when the ingredient involves an issur D’Rabbonon. Some poskim therefore permit kitniyos based ingredients that have gone through such a transformation. Others rule that the transformation only permits usage b’dieved, not l’chatchila. It’s important to note that most of these ingredients can be produced special for Pesach without getting involved in kitniyos at all.

The following items are either kitniyos, kitniyos shenishtanu or spices that are customarily not used by some people:

Alfalfa Corn Millet Soybeans Anise* Cumin* Mustard Seed Sugar Snap-Peas Ascorbic Acid** Dextrose** Navy Beans Sunfl ower Seeds Bean Sprouts Dill Seeds* Peanuts Tofu BHT, BHA in corn oil Fennel Seed* Peas Buckwheat Fenugreek Pinto Beans * There are different customs Canola Oil Glucose Poppy Seeds pertaining to spices.

Would that ownership create a chometz a er Pesach issue? To answer these ques ons, fi rst a li le halachic background. • If a non-Jew deposits his chometz for safekeeping in the house of a Jew and the Jew accepts responsibility for any losses, it would be considered as if the chometz belonged to the Jew. He would be required to dispose of the chometz before Pesach. If he did not, it would be considered like chometz in the possession of a Jew during Pesach and would be forbidden a er Pesach.* • What if the Jew gave the non-Jew a designated area in his house to place the chometz? There are diff ering opinions. There are those who s ll consider it to be in the possession of the Jew. However, there is a lenient opinion that considers the designated area as the house of the non-Jew, and therefore the chometz is no longer in the possession of the Jew.** Next, a li le background of the contract that exists between the store and the Ohio Liquor Commission. The contract establishes three facts: • The whiskey remains the property of the Ohio Liquor Commission un l sold. • The store is liable for certain losses and damages that occur while the merchandise is their possession.

44 Cleveland Kosher | 440.347.0264 | clevelandkosher.org Guidelines on Buying Food Before & After Pesach Jewish grocers, bakers and other food merchants who deal in chometz must sell their chometz before Pesach. If they fail to do so, these chometz products are forbidden even after Pesach. In such an event, purchases of chometz goods should not be made for the period of time it normally takes for complete replenishment of such stock. It is therefore preferable when purchasing from a Jewish merchant to deal with a proprietor who is known to have sold his chometz before Pesach, and who sells no chometz during the holiday. The prohibition against chometz applies to all products prepared or baked during Pesach. This means that you may not purchase bread after Pesach if baked by a Jewish-owned fi rm during Pesach. Please check with your Rabbi when you may resume purchasing products from that establishment.

The following stores are acceptable for purchasing chometz immediately after Pesach:

Aldi *The kosher aisle in these stores is stocked through a Jewish BJ’s owned distributor who participates in a Mechiras Chometz of Costco the business. Please consult your Rabbi for further information. CVS Dave’s Market ** ** This store, which is Jewish owned participates in a Mechiras Dollar Tree Chometz of the business. Please consult your Rabbi for further GFS information. Heinen’s * Marc’s * Our current information is that Vienna Distributing will not Sam’s Club participate in a Mechiras Chometz this year. Save A Lot Target All local certifi ed shomer Shabbos establishments are acceptable Trader Joe’s for the purchase of chometz immediately after Pesach. Walgreens Walmart (South Euclid)* Whole Foods Zagara’s *
