Reminders
The Vaad would like to remind members of the community of some points
that kosher consumers should be aware of throughout the year.
➢DON’T ASSUME THAT IT’S PAREVE Any food that is prepared in a meat
establishment should be assumed to have been made with meat equipment
and may not be eaten with dairy, and food prepared in a dairy kitchen should
be considered DE and may not be eaten with meat (unless otherwise noted,
such as Jerusalem bagels). In addition to the concern of keilim, many
seemingly Pareve dishes are actual fleishig or milchig. For example, deep fried
foods from a meat kitchen are considered fleishig, and require waiting six
hours before eating dairy (unless otherwise noted, such as in a restaurant that
serves those same fries with fish, in which case the fries are meat equipment
only).
➢PACKAGED FOODS Packaged foods sold in Vaad restaurants or
supermarkets are not certified by the Vaad unless specified. Consumers
should always look for a reliable hechsher on every packaged product.
➢KOSHER SEALS Generally speaking, any food item which is entrusted or
sent in the hands of a non-Shomer-Shabbos requires one or two seals
(depending on the nature of the concern) to ensure that the item was not
exchanged. When a Vaad establishment arranges a delivery through someone
who is not Shomer Shabbos, the establishment is instructed to seal the food
with the required simanim. However, foods prepared for pickup or for a
delivery through a Shomer Shabbos, will not necessarily bear simanim.
Therefore, if a consumer plans to have a non Shomer Shabbos pick up or
receive the food, a request should be made that the item be properly sealed
when placing the order.
When food delivery services such as DoorDash, GrubHub, or UberEats are
used to place an order, the restaurant is not always aware of the
arrangement. Therefore, when using these services, one should always
contact the restaurant directly to request proper seals.
➢IF YOU SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING! While the Vaad mashgichim
do their utmost to keep a close eye on the kashrus and immediately address
any problems, it is possible that a problem may have been missed. If you see
something that does not look right, please contact us right away, so that we
can investigate and take corrective action if needed.

Reprinted with permission from the OU
Gas Stovetop Libun (burning) & Cover: The
stovetop surface and grates should be cleaned
well and not used for 24 hours. The stovetop
surface should be covered with foil. The stovetop
grates can be replaced or they should be burned
out in the oven @ 550° F for one hour.
Electric Stovetop Libun (burning) & Cover: The
stovetop surface should be cleaned well and
covered with foil. The burners should be turned
on until they glow red.
Glass stovetop cannot be kashered & must be
covered. The stovetop surface should be cleaned
well and not used for 24 hours. During Pesach
pots should not be placed directly on the stove
surface, but rather an aluminum (or other metal)
disk should be placed directly under the pot. One
should not cover the entire glass top surface as
this might cause it to overheat and crack.
Self-clean Ovens Libun (burning): Remove any
visible food. Complete self-cleaning cycle with
racks in place.
Non-self-cleaning Oven Libun (burning): Clean all
surfaces (walls, floor, doors and racks) thoroughly
with a caustic cleanser (e.g. Easy Off). Pay special
attention to thermostat, oven window, and edges
of the oven chamber. Black discoloration that is
flush with the metal need not be removed. Oven
should not be used for 24 hours. Place racks in
the oven and turn the oven to broil (highest heat)
for 60 minutes. A broiler pan that comes in direct
contact with food should not be used.

cleaned and unused for 24 hours.
Surface should be completely
clean and dry. Surface should be
heated to a dry temperature of
550° F (i.e. oven) for a minimum
ofone hour.

׉	 7cassandra://I7vNi2Us_pO9JbwIUSQqME_0WMdx7vogbOmCLnLswjA'j`̨ `Fˣ~=d׉ENote: The method of kashering described
above is based on the ruling of Rav
Aharon Kotler zt’l. However, Rav Moshe
Feinstein zt’l ruled that the oven must
either be kashered with a blow torch, or
an insert should be placed in the oven.
Consult your rabbi for guidance.
Warming Drawers Libun (burning):
Typically warming drawers do not get to
libun kal temperature. Therefore, unless
one is experienced in kashering with a
torch, warming drawers
are not
recommended for use on Pesach.
Microwaves Hagalah (boiling in water)
(for
those who kasher plastic):
The microwave must be cleaned well and
not used for 24 hours. Glass turntable
should be removed and replaced with
new kosher for Passover surface. A
styrofoam cup should be filled with water
and boiled in the microwave for 10
minutes. The cup should be refilled and
moved to another spot and the process
repeated for 10 more minutes. Cardboard
or contact paper should be taped over the
glass window pane for the duration of
Passover.
Hot Water Urn, Water Cooler
Iruy
(pouring boiling water): Urn only used for
heating water: Run hot water through the
water tap for 10 seconds, while pouring
boiling water from a kettle over the water
tap. Urn also used to warm food (e.g. to
warm challah): Not recommended. Must
be put away for the holiday.
Keurig Coffee Maker Hagalah or Iruy
(pouring boiling water) (for those who
kasher plastic): The coffee maker must
be cleaned well and not used for 24
hours. Remove K-cup holder and perform
hagalah or iruy on K-cup holder. Run a
Kosher for Passover K-cup in the machine
(this will kasher the top pin).
Metal Tea Kettle Hagalah (boiling in
water): The same treatment as for pots
applies here. Although it is uncommon for
anything but water to be put into a tea
kettle, nevertheless it must be kashered.
Tea kettles often sit on the stove, and it is
common for them to get spritzed with hot
food.
Silverware, Pots & other Small Items
Hagalah (boiling in water):
Rolled lips, seams or cracks, which cannot
be cleaned, will require torching of those
areas. Utensils should be immersed one at
a time into a pot of boiling water that is
on the fire. Water should be allowed to
return to a boil before the next item is
placed in the pot. The pot can be nonPassover,
provided it is clean, has not
been used for 24 hours, and water is first
boiled in the pot and discarded. Larger
items can be submerged in the water one
part at a time. Utensils should then be
rinsed in cold water.
Stainless Steel Sink Iruy (pouring boiling
water):
Remove
drain.
[It
scrubbed clean].
is
recommended that the drain be replaced.
If this is difficult, it may be used if the
drain has large holes that can be
completely
It
is
preferable to kasher a sink by pouring
boiling water in conjunction with an even
melubenet (a heated stone). In lieu of
kashering with a heated stone, some will
place a rack on the bottom of the sink, or
use a sink insert.
Ceramic Sink Cannot be kashered & must
be covered: The sink should not be used
with hot water for 24 hours. The sink
should be completely clean and dry. The
sink should be covered with layers of
contact paper or foil; it is best to purchase
a sink insert.
The Sink Faucet (including instant hot)
Iruy (pouring boiling water): Detach any
filters or nozzles.

(e.g. quartz) or Formica Countertops Iruy
(pouring boiling water) or Covering:
It is preferable to kasher a countertop by
pouring boiling water in conjunction with
an even melubenet. There are different
opinions as to whether formica (or plastic)
countertops can be kashered for Pesach.
Ceramic Tile Countertops Cannot be
kashered &must be covered:
The counter should be covered with a
water-resistant covering.
Tables Covered: Although wooden tables
can be kashered, the common custom is
to clean tables well and then cover them.
Refrigerators, Freezers, Food Shelves &
Pantries
Clean
&
Cover:
These areas should be thoroughly cleaned,
paying special attention to the edges
where crumbs may get trapped. The
surfaces should be lined with paper or
plastic.
Note: Refrigerators and freezers will
operate more efficiently if holes are poked
in the lining to allow air flow.
Tablecloths, Kitchen Gloves, Aprons &
other fabric items: Wash Fabric items can
be kashered by washing them with
detergent in washing machine set on
“hot.” Items should be checked to make
sure no pieces of food remain attached.
Water Cooler: In addition to pouring
boiling water over tap, replace water
bottle.
Dishwashers Hagalah (boiling in water):
Kashering of dishwashers is a complicated
process and should only be done in
consultation with a halachic authority.
Electric Mixer: Not
recommended
because of the difficulty in cleaning out
the housing of the mixer from fine
particles of flour, one should not use their
year-round mixer on Passover. The mixer
blades, though, can be cleaned and
kashered with hagalah.
Baby High Chair Covered: The tray should
be covered with contact paper. The seat,
legs and bars should be wiped down with
a soapy rag.

Rabbi Moshe Wainkrantz
T
his year, Erev Pesach falls out on Shabbos. While this infrequent occurrence
offers us the opportunity to come to the seder more relaxed and well
rested, it also raises some practical questions relating to the halachos of Erev
Pesach, as well as to the halachos of Shabbos.
Tannis Bechoros- Thursday
In a regular year, firstborn males are required to fast on Erev Pesach in
remembrance of the miracle that they were saved from death during Makas
Bechoros. This is not possible when Erev Pesach is on Shabbos, because it is
forbidden to fast on Shabbos. Once the fast has to be moved from Erev Pesach,
it is moved to Thursday as opposed to Friday, in order to avoid entering Shabbos
while fasting. As in any other year, a bechor may participate in a siyum on
Thursday, which would exempt him from fasting.
Bedikas Chometz- Thursday Night
This year, bedikas chometz is performed on Thursday night preceded by the
regular berachah and followed by the declaration of kol chamira recited after
bedikas chometz.
Biur Chometz- Friday Morning
One should set aside the chometz that will be needed for Friday and the two
Shabbos meals, and put it in a safe place. All other chometz should be burned on
Friday before the sof zman biur (12:24 PM [M.A.], 12:36 PM [Gr”a]). Although it
is permitted to eat chometz until Shabbos morning, the chometz is burned at
the time that would have been the deadline had this day truly been Erev Pesach
in order in order to avoid confusion in subsequent years when Erev Pesach does
not fall on Shabbos. However, the kol chamira which is normally said after
burning the chometz, is not said on Friday, but rather on Shabbos morning
before the end of the fifth halachic hour.
Since Friday is not actually Erev Pesach, all other Erev Pesach restrictions, such
as omitting Mizmor L’sodah and Lamnatzaiach from shacharis, refraining from
doing laundry and taking haircuts after chatzos, and kashering pots and pans,
are all still allowed.

It is prohibited to prepare anything for the seder on Shabbos. (Even stating
that one’s Shabbos nap is for the purpose of being well-rested for the seder
should be avoided.) While some of the preparations can technically be done
after Shabbos ends and before the seder begins, it is not recommended to do
so since it delays the start of the seder, and it is important to start the seder as
soon as possible so that the children can participate. Therefore, the
horseradish, charoses, romaine lettuce, shank bone, roasted egg and salt
water should all be prepared on Friday. The horseradish should be ground and
stored in an airtight container until the seder. Care should be taken to dry the
romaine lettuce before storing, since water might accumulate in the storage
container, and any parts of the lettuce that soaks in water for more than
twenty-four hours may not be used for maror.
Seudos Shabbos
It is forbidden to consume any matza on Erev Pesach. The reason for this is in
order to distinguish the matza eaten later at the seder as matzas mitzva. This
creates a challenge as to how to fulfill the requirement of lechem mishneh for
the seudos Shabbos on Shabbos Erev Pesach. The common practice is to
carefully use chometz rolls for lechem mishneh, and then serve the rest of the
meal with kosher for Pesach foods. Only disposable dishes should be used as
long as any chometz is being eaten. Leftover crumbs should be swept and then
flushed down the toilet. Larger pieces of bread can be crumbled and then
flushed down. After the chometz is gone, the rest of the meal may be served
on Pesach dishes.
Chometz that is placed in the trash can and remains past the zman, must be
rendered inedible by pouring bleach or ammonia over the entire surface of
the chometz. These fluids must be designated for that use before Shabbos.
Otherwise, they would be muktza.
If the floor needs to be swept, one must make sure that no chometz crumbs
remain on the broom. Since it is extremely difficult to adequately clean a
broom on Shabbos, it is advisable to put away the broom with the chometz
utensils which have been sold to a non-Jew.
It is permitted to brush your teeth with a dry soft toothbrush that was
designated for Shabbos use to clean your mouth from chometz. Toothpaste
should not be used.

for lechemmishneh. Although the bracha for egg matzah is usually borei minei
mezonos, when egg matzah is eaten during a full-course meal and substitutes
for bread, hamotzi is recited. However, since Ashkenazim follow the opinion of
the Rema that matza ashira should not be eaten on Pesach (except by the sick
or elderly), one must finish eating the egg matza before sof zman achila (11:09
AM [M.A.], 11:33 AM [Gr”a]). The other foods served at the meal may be
eaten later.
Kol chamira is recited before sof zman biur (12:23 PM [M.A.], 12:35 PM
[Gr”a]).
Seuda Shelishis
The last challenge that must be addressed is how and when to eat seudah
shelishis. Seudah shelishis is supposed to be eaten after zman mincha gedola
(a half hour after chatzos). At that time, we may no longer eat chometz,
matzah or egg matzah. Although it is normally preferable to use hamotzi for
seuda shelishis, the poskim say that on Shabbos Erev Pesach we rely on the
opinions that the requirement of seuda shelishis can be fulfilled without
hamotzi, but rather with other foods that may be eaten on Erev Pesach, such
as meat, fish, fruits or vegetables (meat and fish are preferred over fruit), or
kneidlach (for those who eat gebrokts). These foods can be eaten at the
preferred time for seudah shelishis - a half hour after chatzos (2:08 PM), until
the tenth halachic hour of the day (4:45 PM). After that time, one may not eat
kneidlach. Even other foods that may still be eaten, such as meat, fish, and
fruits, should only be eaten at a minimum, so as not to ruin one’s appetite for
the seder.
Since there are opinions that seudah shelishis can only be fulfilled with
hamotzi, the poskim recommend that in addition, if time allows, one should
divide the morning meal into two parts, and rely on the opinions that seudah
shelishis may be eaten in the morning. One should recite kiddush and hamotzi,
eat one course and then bentch. After a break of 15-30 minutes away from
the table, one should wash again, say hamotzi, eat the rest of the meal and
bentch. The challah or egg matzah that would be used for lechem mishneh at
the second meal must be consumed before sof zman achila. One should then
also eat a meal of foods that are not hamotzi later in the afternoon, to satisfy
the opinions that seudah shelishis must be eaten after mincha gedola.

EACH INDIVIDUAL LABEL SHOULD ALWAYS BE CHECKED FOR
PESACH CERTIFICATION.
Consumers are cautioned not to take for granted that a product is Kosher for Pesach
simply because it is in the Kosher for Pesach section of their store, or because a
"Kosher for Pesach" sign is posted. Each year there are numerous instances, even in
Jewish stores, of non-Pesach products mistakenly being mixed in with Pesach
products, usually because their labels are almost identical.
This occurs frequently with Telma soup mixes and cubes, Lieber’s dressings and Coat
‘n Bake coatings, various brands of frozen gefilte fish, chopped liver and kishke, and
Osem, Gefen, Haddar, Manischewitz, Empire and other brands of products that
have both Pesach and non-Pesach versions of the same products with similar labels.
Store owners, likewise, should not take for granted that everything received in their
Pesach shipment, even from a Jewish distributor, is indeed Pesach certified; nonPesach
products are often mistakenly mixed in. There have also been instances
where the outsides of cases were marked Kosher for Pesach, but the products inside
were not. Each individual itemmust always be checked for Pesach certification.
Multiple Certifications
Some brands, e.g. Osem, do not bear the same certification on all of their products.
Each product should be checked for a reliable certification. - In addition, some
brands, especially those from Israel, bear more than one certification on a single
package, but not all those certifications include approval for Pesach. In particular,
the Badatz of Eida Hachareidis symbol often states specifically that its endorsement
does not include Pesach. All products should be carefully examined for a reliable
Pesach endorsement. - Some products bear a non-Pesach certification printed on
the label, and have an added stamp (often on the lid) saying Kosher for Pesach, but
with no identification of the certifying organization. These should not be relied
upon.
Medications on Pesach
Important - No one should refrain from taking any required medication, even if it
contains chometz, without first consulting his physician and Rav.
A discussion of medications begins on page 26, followed by a list of medications,
cosmetics, and toiletries that are acceptable for Pesach.

'Kitniyos
Kitniyos (legumes) such as corn, beans, peas and rice, may not be eaten by
Ashkenazim on Pesach. Sefardim who use these products must ascertain that they
contain no additives (such as vitamins), and must carefully check them before
Pesach for extraneous matter. - There are a number of “Kosher for Pesach”
products on the market that contain kitniyos, and are acceptable only for
Sephardim. Many of these products will state on the label (often in Hebrew) that
the item is to be used only by those whose custom allows for the use of kitniyos. -
Sefardim should verify that a reliable certification endorses the kitniyos product
for Pesach. Products that state just “Kosher for Pesach - Kitniyos” without
identification of the certifying organization should not be relied upon. - The OU
and the Star-K have introduced special Pesach certification symbols for products
containing kitniyos (OU Kitniyot, as on Osem Bamba snacks, and Star-S-P Kitniyot,
as on Carolina Mehadrin rice), for those who eat kitniyos. - Locally, The Grove
[One Stop] Kosher Market has a separate marked section for Kitniyos products.

* Differing customs
Kitniyos Derivatives
Those who follow the prevalent custom of not using any derivatives of kitniyos
(legumes) on Pesach, such as corn oil, corn syrup, dextrose, soybean oil and
lecithin, should be aware that some products with Kosher for Pesach certifications
do contain one or more of these ingredients. This applies especially to imported
candies and chocolates. A careful check of the ingredients should be made.
(Lecithin is sometimes listed just as “emulsifier”, and corn syrup as “glucose”.
However, if the product bears a reliable Ashkenazi certification, one can be
confident that the emulsifier or glucose listed is from non-kitniyos sources.)
Quinoa
Quinoa is subject to differing opinions as to whether it is considered kitniyos;
consult your Rav. Those who use quinoa should use only brands with Pesach
certification or approval, to avoid issues of other grains growing in close
proximity, and contact with other grains during processing. Quinoa also needs to
be checked carefully for insect infestation. See checking instructions at
https://www.star-k.org/checking.

Matzoh made with fruit juice or eggs, which includes “Kosher for Passover” Egg
Matzohs, Egg Matzoh Crackers and Passover Egg Tam Tams Crackers, may not be
eaten on Pesach, according to Ashkenazic practice, except by the sick or elderly who
cannot eat regular matzoh. Most brands now state this restriction clearly in English
on the package. Please note that even the sick and elderly cannot fulfill the
obligation to eat matzoh at the Seder with these types of matzohs.
Peeled or Shredded Vegetables & Fruit
Peeled potatoes, peeled carrots (including baby carrots), peeled apples, shredded
lettuce or cabbage, etc. are often treated with antioxidants to keep them looking
fresh. We have found that many of these antioxidants, in particular the nonsulfite
types, contain ingredients that may not be Kosher for Pesach, such as dextrose,
citric acid, ascorbic acid, lactic acid and others. One unusual type that was once
found on peeled potatoes also contained lactose, a dairy ingredient. The produce
company should be contacted to determine the antioxidant used and its Kashrus
status.
Frozen Vegetables
Frozen vegetables require special Pesach certification because many frozen
vegetable plants process pasta, macaroni, breaded vegetables, etc. on the same
equipment as plain vegetables.
Pesach Stickers
If a product bears Pesach certification on an attached sticker, rather than being
printed on the label itself, it is advisable to contact the supervising agency to verify
that it authorized the placement of the sticker.
Pet Food
Many commercial pet foods contain actual chometz and may not be used on
Pesach. Check ingredient labels for wheat, barley, rye, oats, spelt, flour, gluten,
middlings, starch, brewer’s yeast, malt, or pasta. Non-chometz substitutes should be
used. Pet food listing both milk and beef ingredients should not be used the entire
year.

LAMERS DAIRY CHOLOV YISROEL MILK and CHOCOLATE MILK for
Pesach can be identified by the letters KLP before the Sell By date. Lamers
does not have special Pesach labels, and uses regular year-round labels that
list vitamins in the ingredients, and corn starch in the chocolate milk, but
these ingredients are not used for Pesach.
PRE-WASHED PACKAGED ICEBERG LETTUCE SALAD and
COLESLAW require Pesach approval due to the citric or lactic acid that may
be used in the washing process. All Star-K and OK certified brands, including
Fresh Express, Dole, Kroger, Little Salad Bar [Aldi] and Marketplace
[Walmart] require a P next to the Kosher symbol.
THE GROVE [ONE STOP] PRE-CHECKED ROMAINE LETTUCE should
not be used for Pesach unless it bears special Pesach marking.
JOYVA PRODUCTS are Kof-K certified for year-round use, but not for
Pesach, because they contain corn starch and corn syrup. They are therefore
not recommended for Pesach, even when bearing the Passover marking of a
different certification.
SCHMERLING'S SUGARLESS AND NO SUGAR ADDED CHOCOLATES
are not Kosher for Pesach, and state so on their labels.
ELITE CHOCOLATES are recommended only when bearing the certification
of the OU or the Badatz of Eida Hacharedis. For Pesach, special Pesach
marking is required.
ELITE BAZOOKA FLAVORED BUBBLE GUM: The regular type is available
with an OU-P. Be aware, however, that the Sugar Free type being sold for
Pesach is “OU Kitniyot”.
NATURAL & KOSHER brand cheeses are not all Kosher for Pesach. Check
each package for Pesach certification.
HAOLAM CHEESES: A number of Haolam cheeses are not Kosher for
Pesach, and state so clearly on their packaging. Check each product
carefully for Pesach certification.
MANISCHEWITZ WINES are made in both year round and Pesach versions.
The year round version bears a plain OU and states “Not for Passover use”.
The Pesach version bears OU-P. Stores often have a mixture of the two
versions on the shelf, even of the same variety. Check each bottle carefully.

available in several versions - some pareve, some dairy (not Cholov
Yisroel), and some Kosher for Pesach. Only the pareve type that bears an
OU-P is certified for Pesach. Check each label carefully.
ELI'S CHEESECAKE products that are manufactured during Pesach are
not acceptable, and will not bear the cRc symbol on their packaging.
Consumers should check for the cRc when purchasing after Pesach.
“PLAY-DOH” and MODELING DOUGH contain chometz. FINGER
PAINTS may contain chometz. CRAYOLA GLITTER DOTS and
CRAYOLA EASY PEEL CRAYON PENCILS contain wheat flour. All
should be sold and put away with the chometz.
DISPOSABLE MEDICAL EXAM GLOVES: Some brands contain oatmeal,
and state so on the label. These should be sold and put away with the
chometz.
POWDERED DISPOSABLE GLOVES (e.g., latex and vinyl types) are
usually powdered with corn starch, and should not be used in the kitchen or
near food on Pesach.
SEASON SARDINES, SPRATS and KIPPER SNACKS: Due to Covid-19
work and travel restrictions, some product in the market may not bear OUP,
but instead a plain OU, or no OU at all. Check each item carefully.
GEFEN COCONUT MILK is certified by both the Volover Rav, Rabbi N.E.
Teitelbaum, and the OU. The Volover Rav has issued a notice that all
Gefen Coconut Milk (Sweetened and Unsweetened) is not Kosher for
Pesach, despite the "Kosher for Pesach" print on the label. The OU
maintains that this product is acceptable for use on Pesach when bearing
Pesach marking.
GREAT VALUE CONFECTIONERS POWDERED SUGAR (Walmart):
Some online pictures of this product mistakenly show a UMK-P symbol.
This item contains corn starch and is not Kosher for Pesach. The actual
product does not bear Pesach marking.
SYSCO RELIANCE CLEAR SOYBEAN FRYING SHORTENING and
SYSCO CLASSIC CLEAR CANOLA FRYING SHORTENING in 35 lb. food
service size containers mistakenly bear an OU-P symbol on some labels.
These products are not certified for Pesach.

Important All medications for a heart condition, diabetes, abnormal blood
pressure, stroke, kidney disease, lung disease, depression, epilepsy, the immune
system (transplant anti-rejection), and cancer treatment (including precautionary)
may be taken on Pesach. Furthermore, all prescription medication taken on a regular
basis for chronic conditions should only be changed with the consultation of your
physician and Rav. (If you can not reach your physician, you should continue to take
your regular prescription and not change.) Some examples of such chronic conditions
include the following: Any psychiatric condition, prostate condition, Crohn’s Disease,
celiac, colitis, high cholesterol, Parkinson’s Disease, anemia, multiple sclerosis, thyroid
condition, and asthma.
Some forms of medications listed here may be permissible according to basic Halacha
regardless of their content, but we list them for the benefit of those who wish to be
stringent and use only chometz-free varieties. Consult your Rav for guidance.
This is a very partial list, for Pesach 5781 / 2021 only. The omission of any specific brand
or product does not necessarily imply that it contains chometz or that it is not
permissible for use on Pesach. - This list refers only to products manufactured in the U.S.
Products manufactured in other countries, including Canada, even with the same brand
names, may have different formulations. - Most of the medications, cosmetics and
toiletries listed are not under supervision and their listing here, taken primarily from
Rabbi Bess’ list and based on information from the manufacturer, pertains only to their
lack of chometz, not to the general Kashrus of their ingredients. Many of the
medications contain kitniyos, which is permissible when taken for medicinal purposes. –
Many items are available from Adwe Products with Kosher for Pesach certification, and
are certified free of chometz, kitniyos and animal derivatives.
An extensive coverage of medications, cosmetics and toiletries which are acceptable for
Pesach, prepared by Rabbi Gershon Bess, is available from the Kollel Bais Avrohom of
Los Angeles, and may be ordered by calling the Kollel at (323) 933-7193. It is also
available locally at Borenstein’s and Spitzer’s Bookstores. Updates to the list will be
posted at kehilasyaakov.org.
No one should refrain from taking any required medication, even if it contains
chometz, without first consulting his physician and Rav.

t is forbidden by the Torah to discard holy objects, devorim
shebikdusha, by throwing them into the trash. Objects which
have been used for a Mitzvah, although they have no Kedusha of their
own, should not be put in a makom be’zayon. However, one may wrap
them in double plastic and put them in the garbage. Included in this
category are: S'chach of the Sukkah, Tallis bags, Esrogim, Lulavim,
Hadasim, and Arovos.
Objects which do have Kedusha should be buried. Included in this
category are Tefilin, Tefilin bags, Mezuzas, Mezuza covers and Seforim,
whether they are hand written, printed or photocopied. The custom is
also to include Tzitzis and Talesim in this category. One may dispose of a
Yarmulka in the garbage.
Devorim Shebikdusha also include:
• Paper on which a Halacha is printed or written with intention to tell
the Halacha, or a Medrash of Chazal which is intended to explain a
Possuk or to teach us how to conduct ourselves in Mussar and
Hashkafa.
• A paper on which three consecutive words of a Possuk from Tanach
have been written on one line with the intention of quoting the Tanach
(as opposed to a Melitza [borrowed phrase] which is not Shaimos–and
can be discarded).
• Any paper or material on which one of the names of Hashem is
written.

from the paper and be buried, if so desired. However, pieces of
paper that fell out of a Sefer, even if there is no writing or print on
them, are considered Shaimos. Letters or printed matter in the
Hebrew language are not Shaimos if they do not conform with one
of these specifications. Letters or printed matter in English or any
other non-Hebrew language are Shaimos if they conform with the
above stipulations.
Newspapers and magazines which contain secular information
should not be put into Shaimos. They degrade the real Shaimos that
are buried with them, especially if the advertisements and pictures
are not within the spirit of the Torah. The pages that have Torah may
be removed and put into Shaimos or the whole paper may be put in
a double plastic cover and placed into the garbage.
The letters יא''ה , ה'' זעב and ב''ה are not Shaimos according to the
Halacha and Jewish custom. However, it is an act of piety to put
them into Shaimos. The letters סב'''ד

If a Sefer was covered with a book cover, that cover should be put
into Shaimos. Homework and test papers in Limudei Kodesh may be
Shaimos depending on whether they fall into the above categories
(see #3 above). Invitations from organizations and individuals that
contain parts of Pesukim are Shaimos.
The Yated, Hamodia, The Jewish Press and similar publications that
are mainly news and advertisements and also have divrei Torah can

Post-Pesach 5781 Information – Detroit Area
CHOMETZ may be purchased immediately after Pesach at the following stores in the
Detroit area, except for Dunkin Donuts (10 & Greenfield) where chometz should not
be bought until 10:00 PM, due to the Halachic requirement of “bichdei sh’yaasu”.
All K-COR establishments
Aldi
BJ’s
Busch’s Fresh Food Market
Costco
CVS
Dollar Tree Stores
Family Dollar Stores
GFS (Gordon Food Service)
Joe Randazzo’s Fruit Market
K-Mart
Lincoln Rx Pharmacy
Meijer
Nutrifoods
Plum Market
Rite Aid
Sam’s Club
Superior Kosher Meats
The Grove [One Stop]

Walgreens

Whole Foods
It is advisable to wait two weeks after Pesach (April 19) before buying “pure” chometz
products (e.g., bread, grain cereals, pasta, cookies and pretzels) at Jewish-owned
stores that do not observe Pesach, even if they made a Mechiras Chometz before
Pesach, due to the possibility that new chometz was received during Pesach. This
includes Restaurant Depot and Natural Food Patch. It is permitted to purchase most
other products immediately after Pesach, including pearled raw barley, dry cake
mixes, flour (without malted barley), glue, all kitniyos, ketchup, mayonnaise,
medicines, mustard, vinegar, vitamin tablets, baker’s yeast, and yeast extract.
Buying chometz from Kroger and Target in the Detroit area after Pesach involves
Halachic uncertainty. Although these stores are owned by non-Jews, there is a
possibility that they are supplied by privately-owned Jewish food distributor C&S, and
the chometz bought after Pesach may have been in the possession of C&S during
Pesach. According to Halacha, safek chometz sheover olov haPesach is permitted, and
would include chometz from Kroger and Target. However, if one has the option of
purchasing chometz from a store that does not receive goods from a Jewish
distributor that may have owned chometz on Pesach, it is commendable to do so until
