In the two weeks before Passover, Rabbi David Katz has supervised students and their families as they participated in sessions at the Beachwood school to bake Schmura matzah, which is supervised and baked for the Seder. Some families will be spectators, others will bake, and each family will receive one matzah in special boxes bought for this event.

In Parshas Emor, the Torah teaches us: Hashem spoke to Moshe saying, Speak to the Children of Israel and say to them: “When you enter the land that I am giving to you and you will cut its harvesting, then you shall bring an omer-sized portion from the first of its harvest to the kohen. And he (the kohen) shall wave the omer before Hashem for your benefit, on the day after the ‘day of rest’ the kohen shall wave it… And you should count for yourselves from the day after the ‘day of rest,’ from the day you bring the omer of waving, until there will be seven complete weeks.

It was once an untested concept; now it is reality. When the Orthodox Union presented its first Jewish Communities Home and Job Relocation Fair, back in 2008, the visionary thought of then-OU President Stephen J. Savitsky was that there were “emerging” Orthodox communities across North America that would be thrilled to throw open their doors to families and individuals relocating from the most populous (and expensive) areas of Orthodox life, that is, the New York metropolitan area.
Two problems that consumers should continue to be vigilant about:
1) Products may contain a number of hechsherim, only one of which certifies the product for Pesach. It is not uncommon for the year-round hechsher to be one that is acceptable to a large audience but the one certifying just for Pesach to be one that not all accept (i.e. Rabbanut of a given small Israeli city, or unknown foreign hasghacha).
2) Especially in supermarket kosher isles, look for the exact same product stocked in both Kosher for Pesach and not Kosher for Pesach forms in the same “Passover” location.
The COR (Canada) provides the following common examples that were found:
No box this year at Zichron Chaim. Added box at Heights Jewish Center. No box at Telshe Yeshiva this year.
