ROSH HASHANA SIMANIM CHECKING INSTRUCTIONS

APPLES/BEETS/CARROTS/POMEGRANATES: No checking required.

DATES*: Open a few dates in each container and visually inspect. If no insects can be seen, the rest may be eaten without further checking.

FIGS*: Open each one and check carefully for infestation (typically wasps, beetles or worms). NOTE: Figs are particularly difficult to check.

 * Checking instructions for dates and figs apply even if they have a hechsher, due to the possibility of improper storage.

GOLDEN RAISINS: 

Should not be used at this time due to infestation and the difficulty involved in checking them. (There is no concern with red (black) raisins or currants. Keep these properly sealed and store in a cool dry place, as improper storage can lead to infestation.)

BLACK-EYED PEAS:

Preparation

• Dried peas should first be boiled in water. After they have been fully cooked, allow the peas to soak in the water for 2-3 hours. The peas will then swell and the peel will become translucent. Then check as instructed below. 
• Canned or frozen peas may be checked straight out of the can/bag; there is no need to boil or soak.

Checking Instructions

1. Inspect the peas for holes or dark-colored stains, as these may indicate an insect beneath the thin peel. 
2. If there is a dark spot on the peel, remove the thin skin and check if there is a cavity with a bug in it.

NOTE: The black "eye" spot is not a sign of infestation. Similarly, orange-colored stains on the surface are not signs of infestation. Only dark or black stains are of concern.

LEEKS: 

Examine the outside for any leaf miner trails. Check in between the layers for thrips or other insects. 

SPINACH:

Check using the Thrip Cloth Method.

THRIP CLOTH METHOD:

1. Wash the produce well. Fill a basin with warm water and a non-toxic dishwasher detergent so the water feels "slippery."
2. Add produce to the basin and agitate vigorously in the solution for 15 seconds.
3. Remove the produce from the basin and shake excess water over the basin. Set produce aside.
4. Line a colander with a thrip cloth and pour the water through it.
5. Place thrip cloth over a light box and check for insects.
6. If insects are found, repeating steps 1-5. This can be repeated up to 3 times. If insects are still found on the third try, the produce should not be used.

GREEN CABBAGE:

For fresh cabbage: Separate all leaves and wash well. Then check using the Thrip Cloth Method.

For stuffed cabbage: After freezing the head, defrost and separate all leaves and wash them well. Then check using the Thrip Cloth Method.

For green cabbage only: If one does not have a thrip cloth, cabbage may be checked carefully leaf by leaf, using a lightbox or under a strong light.

HONEY: Pure honey does not need a hechsher (Clover, Wildflower, Blossom, Orange, etc., are types of honey, not flavors). Flavored honey needs a hechsher.

For many years, she lived and worked in Baltimore, where she became an active presence in the city’s vibrant arts community and exhibited widely.

Read More BaltimoreJewishLife.com (BJL) is proud to partner with STAR-K CERTIFICATION that realizes that there is no substitute for a person’s own Rav. In an effort to offer a possible solution, it has launched its Institute of Halachah as a public service. Over the years, the agency’s Kashrus Hotline has answered generic halachic questions from kosher consumers the world over, including inquiries regarding the kosher status of foods and certified Sabbath mode appliances. The formation of a separate official division within STAR-K testifies to the need for addressing these issues. The Institute of Halachah is directed by HaRav Mordechai Frankel, under the guidance of HaRav Moshe Heinemann, STAR-K’s Rabbinic Administrator. It is an invaluable resource for a diverse array of rabbis to discuss general halachic matters, as well as gain access to source materials for shiurim and answers to congregants’ questions.

(KSA 139:1) 1) 352 BCE until 70 CE 2) 139 BCE 3) The Menorah was made of gold and had seven branches.

Details to  follow    בלע המות לנצח Read More Parsha Hashavua Rabbi Dovid Fink - Parshas Mishpatim: Hashem's Love One of the Torah’s fundamental principles, cited in Parshas Mishpatim, is the concept of eyen tachas eyen, shayn tachas sheyn – that the Torah ascribes punishments on a mida k’neged midah basis.  Nevertheless, within this framework, we understand that the Torah does not literally call for blinding one who blinds or cutting off the arm of one who steals, rather monetary damages are paid to the victim of a crime by the perpetrator.  This doctrine is consistent with the Torah’s approach to the Eved Ivri.  (21:2) There are two ways in which a person can become an Eved Ivri.  Either, one chooses to sell himself so as to eliminate the burden of supporting himself for a period of time or Bais Din may sell someone into avdus if they steal and are unable to payback.   What seems completely inconsistent with this approach is what happens to the eved if after six years he says ahafti es adoni - I love my master and do not want to go free.   In such a situation, the Torah prescribes that we drill a hole through his ear at the doorpost.  (21:6).  Rashi deals with this seemingly literal and draconian punishment by quoting R’Yochanan Ben Zacai who stated we drill his ear for having heard at Har Sinai “Thou shalt not steal” or he heard “Bnei Yisroel are avadim to me”.  We drill his ear for not obeying the commandments that his ear heard.  This explanation leaves two puzzling questions.  Why, in this unique circumstance, does the Torah abandon its policy of monetary payments for damages and second why is this “drilling” done now?  The eved violated these commandments six years ago when he was first sold.  We should have drilled his ear at that time. In answering these questions we need to understand that the Torah’s concept of onesh is primarily to provide a kaparah for the baal aveira and secondarily to compensate the victim.  (Gemarah, Meseches Yoma 86a)  In each case of the eved, the Torah initially prescribes an onesh which accomplishes both – by selling a thief into avdus the victim is repaid and in either case of one who is sold, the embarrassment of being an eved is a kaparah for the aveira.  However, if at the end of six years the eved says ahafti es adoni, then we see that the onesh was no onesh at all!! He enjoyed his punishment.   In such a case, it is clear that the Torah’s preferred method of onesh did not work – there has been no suffering to endure if on balance he would rather stay an eved.   Since the primary purpose is to achieve kaparah we must resort to a more literal punishment.[1]  This is but one more example of the measure of love Hashem has for each one of us.  Even at times of aveira it is the ratzon Hashem that we have a kaparah and cleanse our neshama from the blemish which a chet leaves behind.  May we all be zocheh to appreciate the love that Hashem has for all of us and be more careful in keeping all of his Mitzvos so we need not constantly take advantage of his great love and leniency. [1] It is a curiosity why according to Reb Yochanan ben Zakai we would not give Malkus at this time – the traditional punishment for violating a negative prohibition in the Torah.  Perhaps Malkus is only appropriately given at the time of the offense.  Read More Local News | yesterday at 10:08 am Advocates Fear Billions Of Tax Dollars At Stake As Baltimore City Denies Access To IG Baltimore, MD - Feb. 15, 2026 - A new report from Baltimore’s Office of the Inspector General (OIG) is offering taxpayers a detailed look at how the city financed Artscape, including the use of more than a half-million dollars in federal COVID relief money for entertainment and related events. The OIG found the city used more than $500,000 in federal pandemic relief dollars to pay for Artscape entertainment, including $240,000 for one headliner and $125,000 for another. The report also found more than $26,000 was used to pay for the mayor’s VIP reception. Those expenditures were part of the $641 million the federal government awarded Baltimore for the purpose of recovering from COVID. The city has insisted it complied with the rules governing how the federal dollars could be ...
