SHUL ACTIVITIES, EVENTS AND REMINDERS
תזכורות, אירועים ופעילויות של בית הכנסת
- The
Shabbat Hagadol Shiur will be given by Rabbi Aryeh
Frimer in Shul in English this Shabbat (April 9) immediately
following Mincha (Mincha 18:25, shiur ca. 18:40). Title: "Insights
into the Haggada - Ehad Mi Yode'a"
- Information
regarding online Mechirat Chametz sites, the CRC and OU
Passover guides, and Medicine and cosmetic lists and
policies have been gathered by Rabbi Aryeh Frimer (Aryeh.Frimer@biu.ac.il;
054-7540761), and may be found below (or here or on the Noticeboard
as a file).
Important General Pesach Information: Mechirat
Chametz online
(1) Rabbanei Tzohar (forms in several languages, including
English): https://www.tzohar.org.il/?page_id=16852
(2) Kipa Website (Hebrew): Form: https://www.kipa.co.il/passover/sell.asp
(3) Chabad Form in Hebrew https://he.chabad.org/holidays/passover/sell_chometz.htm.
Passover Guides and Medicine Lists
(1) Kupat Holim Clalit Medicine List מדריך תרופות כשרות לפסח
תשפ"ב קופ"ח כללית (Contains Complete List of Medicines, Formula,
Vitamins and Food Supplements) https://www.clalit.co.il/he/medical/pharmacy/Documents/kosher_medicines_2022.pdf
To search for a specific medicine: https://www.clalit.co.il/he/koshermedicines.
Alternatively, you can call *2701 and state the name of the
medicine. The answering system will tell you whether the
medicine is Kosher for Passover.
Pages 12-14 of the above Medicine list indicates that The Chief
Rabbinate’s policy is that no medicine containing Chametz should
be used unless it has no substitute and halting its use will
lead to safek pikuach nefesh. The CRC and OU policy below is
more lenient.
(2) CRC (Chicago Rabbinical Council) Passover Guide can be found
online at: https://www.crcweb.org/Passover/5782/Pesach_Guide_%202022.pdf.
The CRC Policy on Medicines and Cosmetics is be found on pages 3
& 74-80 and at https://www.kashrut.com/Passover/pdf/crc_passover_2022_meds_cosmetics.pdf.
A list of nutritional supplements, baby formulae and milk
substitutes is found at pp. 82-86.
Some of the important highlights from the CRC Guide are
as follows:
- All pill medication (with or without chametz) that one
swallows is permitted without special hashgacha. Vitamins and
Food supplements do not necessarily fall under this category.
- Liquid and chewable medications that contain kitniyot are
permitted for one who is ill.
- All varieties of body soaps, hand sanitizer, shampoos and
stick deodorants are permitted for use on Pesach regardless of
their ingredients.
- All types of ointments, creams, nail polish, hand lotions, eye
shadow, eyeliner, mascara, blush, foot and face powders, and ink
and paint may be used regardless of their ingredients.
- Lipstick, mouthwash and toothpaste which contain Chametz
should not be used.
- Alcohol products used for medicines, cosmetics, perfumes and
soaps produced in the USA do not contain grain alcohol.
(3) The OU Passover Guide can be found online at https://oukosher.org/content/uploads/sites/2/2022/03/Passover_Guide_2022_March9.pdf
See page 14 for the required amounts of the wine, matza and
maror; p. 104 for Infant formulas and supplements; and p. 106 of
the guide for their Policy on Medicines.
