​KASHRUS ALERT
The O-U has issued a public announcement that due to the pandemic, some companies cannot meet the kashrus requirements and standards. The O-U guarantees that its kashrus symbol will not appear on any item which is temporarily not under hashgacha,      BUT THE CONSUMER HAS TO CHECK EACH ITEM to make certain that the usual kashrus symbol is there.
   The O-U further warns consumers buying products online—even if the product online is shown with a kashrus symbol, the consumer has to make sure that the items delivered actually have that kashrus symbol as well. 

These are difficult times, and we consumers will need to be extra careful! 

Are you or someone you know "home-bound" and can't get deliveries, call Chaveirim 845-371-NEED (6333)

FROM THE ROV
  • Isolation issues: Some people are finding the enforced isolation very difficult and depressing. If you are having problems, please reach out to me and I will put you in touch with a pro who can help.
  • Counting sefira: 
  1. The proper time is count is at night, after dark, with a bracha
  2. If you forgot, you can count during the day, without a bracha, and that night you can go back to counting with a bracha
  3. If you forgot to count that day altogether, you continue counting in the usual way, but without a bracha

A POINT TO PONDER – from the Rov 
This past week we marked Lag B’Omer, the day when the 24,000 students of Rabbi Akiva stopped dying of the plague. The Pri Chadash asks a very interesting question—why was that marked as a holiday? After all 24,000 had died—there was no one left to die?
