As Far as Kosher Products Are Concerned, South America’s Hottest Country Is Chile
Ah, Chile! This incredible country has been in the spotlight recently.

A Guide To A Favorite Fowl: How The Chicken Went From The Jungle To Your Plate
According to most ornithologists the chicken is the domesticated form of the jungle fowl. There is some disagreement in the scientific community as to which species of jungle fowl were used to develop the domestic chicken. The dominant view is that the red jungle fowl (Gallus Gallus) was the primary genetic donor; however, some have argued that the green jungle fowl (Gallus Varius), the grey jungle fowl (Gallus Sonneratii) and perhaps some now extinct species, also contributed to the development of the domestic chicken. All of the known species of jungle fowl are native to the Far East, and the domestic chicken is thought to have first been raised on the Indian subcontinent.
FDA Guidelines on Carmine Bring a Boon to the Kosher Consumer
We have all heard of the dangers associated with artificial colors. With many artificial colors having been found to be carcinogenic, one certainly understands that consumers would prefer not to see “artificial colors” listed on the ingredient panel, and industry is proud to prominently display a “No Artificial Colors” disclaimer to win over the health conscious consumer. This has helped spur demand for cochineal extract and carmine (a more purified form of cochineal extract). These dyes are made from carminic acid which is extracted from the cochineal scale insect and are therefore natural products.

Kosherizing an Agglomerator: They Said It Couldn’t Be Done. They Were Wrong.

Pesach Shiurim
The Pesach holiday is a time where we have an opportunity to reflect on our rich heritage and affirm our commitment to the continuity of our many traditions. The geulah from Mitzrayim was the point in our great history when we were freed from bondage to man, and culminated with our becoming a nation with the subsequent acceptance of the Torah at Har Sinai. What has sustained us and preserved us throughout the millennia? Observance of Torah and mitzvos is replete with many intricate details that require us to be highly meticulous in our performance, in order to properly fulfill what is required by religious law. During Pesach, this notion expresses itself through required measurements of the special foods we eat during the holiday. These basic measurements and their careful observance are very much a part of our heritage. Indeed, the Talmud states that halachic measurements are a part of the unique laws that were given to Moshe Rabeinu at Sinai[1].
