Pesach Bulletin #2

Dear Friends

The 5768 / 2008 Pesach Guide is now available for view and download from our website – click here. The printed version will be available next week. A very big thank you to Pick ‘n Pay for their sponsorship of the guide. If you do not have internet access and you would like a copy emailed to you, please send your request to kashrut@uos.co.za. (The file is 2MB)

In the Guide you will find:

  • Revised comprehensive instructions for kashering for Pesach
  • Practical applications for kashering
  • Specific rules for when Pesach falls on motzai Shabbat
  • Dates and Times (Johannesburg only)
  • Provisional Product list
  • Pet Foods
  • Toiletries list
  • Many other useful applications, suggestions and instructions

    On our site you will also find forms to download and print out for selling your chametz – click here. Please fill in the forms and fax them to us as soon as possible.

    While there, you will also find a comprehensive search for many hundreds of medicines – click here, and previous bulletins relating to Pesach.

    Although this was mentioned in the previous bulletin, it’s worth noting again:

    Many supermarkets have dedicated special sections and shelves for Pesach products, both local and imported. The Beth Din does not have any control over the stocking of supermarket shelves and we cannot guarantee that all items on these shelves are in fact kosher for Pesach. Consumers are advised to check each and every item to ensure that it has a reliable hechsher for Pesach.

    As always, our staff are available to take your queries and input. Please contact our Kashrut Division on:
