  • FIRST TIME MAKING PESACH a Cheat Sheet for the Rest of Us
    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
