Red peppers continue to come from Israel, Mexico & Canada. This week Heinen’s was stocking peppers from Israel. However, any store in the region may be receiving them this time of year.
Produce of Israel requires the separation of terumos & ma’aser. Please check the sticker on the individual pepper to verify.

Thank you to our Dear Friends and neighbors in our wonderful Cleveland community for all the food, help and moral support that you showered upon us during the days and weeks following the tragic passing of our husband and father R’ Moshe Reuvein ben R’ Kalman.
The comfort of being surrounded by such warm and loving friends will forever be appreciated by our family. May the Ribono Shel Olam repay you many times over with much simcha and nachas in your families.

A reader wrote in that the bags of assorted-color peppers at Aldi state that some of them are from Israel.
As a reminder, produce from Eretz Yisroel should not be assumed to have terumos and maasros taken (except under certain circumstances). The consumer must therefore perform a separation of terumos and maasros after purchase. For instructions see the OU’s page at https://oukosher.org/blog/consumer-kosher/separating-terumah-and-maaser/ or the Star-K’s page at https://www.star-k.org/articles/kosher-lists/1160/terumos-and-maasros/.
As the OU article points out, taking terumos and maasros is not a complicated procedure once you’re familiar with it. Therefore, everything else being equal, you the consumer should not avoid purchasing produce from Eretz Yisroel and withholding your support of its economy.
It would be unfortunate if Jewish consumers, believing this separation to be a complicated procedure, declined to purchase Israeli produce. There is no need to withhold this revenue from the Israeli economy. In truth, the actual procedure is a simple one and can be mastered in but a few moments of time.
Additionally, the OU article–which seems to have been written in 2006 and updated in 2013–points out that a common source of packaged grapefruit segments sold in America is Israel and the consumer should be careful to check the labels on packaged grapefruit segments.

Reminder!
Do not leave children unattended in cars for even a second, tragedy can strike.
Today two young children were left in a running car with the keys in it right outside of one of the local kosher food establishments. It only takes one second for someone to jump in and take off with the children inside. There have been a rash of stolen cars, never leave children unattended in a car, not even for one second while you are “running in”.
