After following the directions and working hard making all the preparations, it also has a guide to the key mitzvot of the Seder night and how those mitzvot should be properly fulfilled. See also our guide “Erev Pesach That Falls on Shabbat”. In short everything you need to know for the coming festival is contained in these pages. This booklet is the hard work of all of us at the KA. We are confident as to the accuracy of the information contained therein, however please check our website as we get closer to Pesach in case there are changes or alerts that are as a result of information that has come to hand after publication. We would like to remind you again this year, that we now only recommend carbonated drinks that have been specifically approved for Pesach. If there are any items not covered in our booklet, or if there are specific questions you need answered please do not hesitate to “join the conversation” on our facebook page, or email our dedicated Pesach email address kapesach18@ gmail.com . Please feel free also to whatsapp my dedicated pesach number +61411657372. We also take this opportunity to thank both local and overseas Kashrut agencies that have shared with us information in relation to Pesach and year round matters, and in particular the OU, OK and CRC and locally our esteemed colleagues at Kosher Australia . Most importantly we thank you our loyal kosher consumers. You are ultimately the driving force behind the formidable strength of kosher demand in our community. The more you purchase local kosher items, the more the market place knows of kosher consumers - the more products will become available and the more companies will want their products to be kosher. All of us at the KA take this opportunity to wish all of you a: Happy and Kosher Pesach “This Year in Exile next year in Jerusalem with the Temple rebuilt” Chag Sameach Rabbi Moshe D Gutnick Rabbinic Administrator Pesach Product Guide 5781 – 2021 5 Approved Kashrut Agencies Only when bearing “Kosher for Passover” identification or bears a ‘P’ or ‘KLP’ beside the logo ISRAEL Beis Din Tzedek of the Eida Hachereidis of Jerusalem Badatz Mehadrin Rabbi Rubin Rehovot Rabbi Moshe Landau B’nei Brak Chug Chasam Sofer Beis Din Tzedek of Agudath Israel Beis Din Tzedek of K’hal Machzikei Hadas SOUTH AFRICA Kashrut department of the Beth Din of Johannesburg and Cape Town.

Section 1 PESACH PRODUCT LIST PESACH PRODUCT LIST 5781 – 2021 Please read the following carefully: 1. For the seven days of Pesach (eight days in the diaspora) the Torah forbids Jewish people to consume or even possess chametz. “Chametz” that one is not permitted to eat is any food that is made up of or contains any of the five grains - wheat, barley, spelt, oats and rye - that has been mixed with water and has been allowed to stand longer than 18 minutes.
