Become a Jewish Studies Testing Center
(Ed: Here is a Business opportunity which may be of interest to you or someone you may know. It came from Rabbi Barry Munic of Birkas HaTorah in Yerushalayim.)
Become a testing center which will administer exams for college credits in Jewish studies courses. These courses have received approval by the National College Credit Recommendation Service (nationalccrs.org). College credits for these courses are accepted automatically at a number of US Colleges, enabling participants to earn a college degree without actually attending the college. We have been offering these courses to students in America, Canada, and Israel over the last two years and have had hundreds of students who have earned college credit and graduated. You can see more about our program by visiting our website at rechtijs.com.

The Visitor’s Halachic Guide to Hospitals
(Star-K) Ed: a must read!
By Rabbi Zvi Goldberg, Kashrus Administrator
A person visiting a hospital patient is performing the great mitzvah of bikur cholim. It is one of the mitzvos for which a person reaps benefits in this world, while the principal reward is saved for the next world. While visiting the sick, some halachic issues may arise. This article addresses these issues from the visitor’s point of view. Questions affecting the patient (such as adjusting the bed, using the call button, and asking the staff to perform tasks on Shabbos) are important issues that should be posed to one’s rabbi.

Kashrus Alert- Cake and Frosting Reformulations to Pareve
The following kashrus information is from the COR Detroit dated December 27, 2013.
“DUNCAN HINES MILK CHOCOLATE BROWNIES, which in the past contained cream and milk and stated OU-D on 19.3 oz. boxes, has been reformulated to a pareve formula and now bears a plain OU on new 18 oz. packages. Each box should be carefully checked, because some old formula product is still on store shelves.
Many PILLSBURY FROSTINGS which used to be OU-D have now changed to plain OU (pareve) status, even some with names such as Milk Chocolate, Cream Cheese and Butter Cream. Each container should be checked, because some OU-D product is still on store shelves.”
