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.

Yet for the approximately 150 shatnez testers in the U.S. who inspect materials for mixtures of wool and linen, it is painstaking, meticulous work requiring extensive training, experience, and unwavering attention to detail. It’s a craft that Rav Yosef Sayagh knows inside out. A world-renowned expert on hilchos shatnez, he has spent nearly 36 years in the field and trained approximately 250 bodkim to identify wool and linen under microscopes using specializ...

All have now passed away, my sister at the age of 96½. This marks the end of that era. Many of you know that we come from Montgomery, Alabama, the Heart of Dixie. I was fortunate to go away to yeshiva, but what was it like in those years—the 1940s, before I was born? In short, what type of Jewish environment did my big sister have growing up? One year ago, my daughter Shani decided the two of us should go visit Elsie. She said, "Let's go while she is alert and able to appreciate our visit." She bought the tickets and made all the arrangements. I want to share with you what my sister told me about growing up in the Oberstein home long ago. First of all, the grandparents lived in t...

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.

The chaotic, chain-reaction pileup triggered a massive emergency response, left dozens injured, and is causing traffic delays throughout the area today. The incident began just before 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, July 8, when an MTA bus traveling along the busy Reisterstown Road corridor suddenly lost control. Over a span of several blocks between Old Court Road and McHenry Avenue, the transit bus plowed through traffic, striking 11 vehicles in its path. The destructive sequence finally came to a halt in the 1500 block of Reisterst... Read More Daily Halacha Hilchos Chanukah During the Second Temple, the Greek empire reigned (over Israel),1  and they (the Greeks) passed decrees against the Jews and (tried) to erase their religion,  and did not allow them to carry out Torah (study) or the commandments.  They put their hands on their property and their daughters.  They entered the Temple, destroyed and made the pure unclean.  The Jews were in great distress because of them and were much oppressed, until the G-d of their fathers had mercy on them, delivering them from their hands and saving them.  Then overcame, the sons of the Hasmonean High Priest, (the Greeks) and killed them  and saved the Jews from their hands.  They appointed a king from the Priests,  and the kingdom of Israel was restored  for more than 200 years until the destruction of (the) second (Temple).  When the Jews overcame their enemies and destroyed them,  it was the 25th of Kislev2  when they entered the Sanctuary (inner room) and did not find pure (olive) oil in the Temple,  except one jar sealed with seal of the High Priest,  and it did not contain enough to light except for one day only.  But they lit from it the lamps of the Menorah3 for eight days,  until they could crush olives and produce a (new quantity) of pure oil.  For these reasons, decreed the Sages of that generation  that these eight days  that begin on the 25th Kislev, will be days of joy and praise.  One lights on them lamps at evening at the entrance to the houses,  every evening of the eight nights to show off and demonstrate the miracle.  These days are called ''Hanukah''  that is to say ''they rested'' (chanu) on the ''25'' ('th of the month)  because on the 25th they rested from their enemies.  and also because of those days  they (re)-dedicated the house (Temple) which their foes had defiled.  Also some say that it is a commandment to increase slightly the festive meals on Hanukah.  Another reason is because the work of (building) the Sanctuary (in the desert) was completed in these days.  One should tell one's children the story of the miracles  that were done for our fore-fathers in those days,  (see Josephus)  However, these meals are not considered as part of the commandment  unless one says at the meal songs of praise.  One should increase charity in these Hanukah days,  for this can help mend any defects in our souls.  This charity, should be given particularly to poor Torah scholars. (KSA 139:1) 1) 352 BCE until 70 CE 2) 139 BCE 3) The Menorah was made of gold and had seven branches.

The confirmation came after explosions were heard in Iran. The explosions were reported in Bandar Abbas and in Chabahar, among other places. “At the direction of the Commander in Chief, US Central Command forces have started conducting additional strikes against Iran to further degrade their ability to threaten freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz," said CENTCOM. “The United States is holding Iran accountable for recent unjustified aggression against commercial shipping and civilian crews freely navigating a vital international waterway," it added.

There are many places in the Torah where we see the effect of different types of behavior.  Anger inevitably leads to mistakes, kindness can have positive consequences for generations and humility keeps one from losing sight of what’s right and wrong.  Parshas Pinchas contains a far more subtle but unmistakable lesson.  After counting all the Shevatim and their progeny we are introduced to the Bnos Tzlafchad.  These daughters brought to Moshe Rabeinu’s attention the apparent inequity in that they were not going to have a chelek in Eretz Yisroel because their father had died in the Midbar and chalakim were only being given out according to the male lineage.  (Tzlafchad had no sons) Moshe had to ask Hashem what should be done about their seemingly legitimate concern.  (Pinchas 27:5) Hashem responded by instructing Moshe that the daughters should indeed inherit in their father’s place.  (27:6) This story stands in stark contrast to what happened to the Ben Ish Mitzri at the end of Parshas Emor.  Boiled down to its bare essence, both the Ben Ish Mitzri and the Bnos Tzlafchad had essentially the same complaint.  The Ben Ish Mitzri, who was Jewish by virtue of his mother being a Jewess, was not assigned a chelek in Eretz Yisroel because his father was a Mitzri and chalakim were being given out by fathers’ lineage.  Therefore, the Ben Ish Mitzri is denied a chelek, curses Hashem and ends up receiving S’kila. (Death by Stoning) (Emor 24:14) How can practically identical complaints give rise to such different outcomes?  A careful reading of these two narratives yields an unmistakable conclusion.  The Bnos Tzlafchad  “approached”  Moshe Rabeinu. (Pinchas 27:1) They “stood” before him, Elazar Hakohen and all the Nisiyim and presented their predicament and asked for an Eitza. (27:2,3) They received a positive response.  The Ben Ish Mitzri came out and Vayinatzu BaMachane – they were fighting in the camp and then he cursed the name of Hashem.  Two wholly different dispositions in bringing basically the same issue forward.  The B’nos Tzlafchad talking humbly and respectfully, the Ben Ish Mitzri fighting and cursing.   The musar is unmistakable.  Sometimes how we say something is even more important than what we are saying.  Let us internalize this most important lesson.  Even when we see an apparent mistake, injustice or offense, we must approach the topic with respect, dignity and tolerance.  Often when one chooses to “fight”, the merits are lost in the noise.

A city official said a team that was sent in late Tuesday afternoon has completed their initial assessment and contractors can now move forward with the installation of temporary shoring to stabilize the building.
