Live

On Monday, March 3, STAR-K Certification Kashrus Administrator Rabbi Sholom Tendler gave a pre-Pesach bug checking class at Ohr Hamizrach Congregation Sephardic Center which was well attended.

Rabbi Tendler was invited by the Kollel of Greater Boston, on Sunday, March 23, to be the guest speaker for its Pre-Pesach Day of Learning. He delivered a morning shiur on Pesach topics, including taaruvos chometz (food products that contain chometz ingredients) and chometz sheavar alav haPesach (chometz that was possessed or controlled by a Jew during Pesach). In the evening, in conjunction with Kashrus Vaad Harabonim (KVH) and the Kollel of Greater Boston, he gave a shiur on preparing for Pesach, Pesach products, kashering and other topics.
