How Does a Person Convert to Judaism By Rabbi Yirmiyohu Kaganoff
By Rabbi Yirmiyohu Kaganoff (RabbiKaganoff.com)
When our ancestors accepted responsibility to observe the Torah, they did so by performing bris milah, immersing themselves in a mikveh, and offering korbanos. A non-Jew who chooses to join the Jewish people is entering the same covenant and must follow a similar procedure (Kerisus 9a).
The privilege of becoming a ger tzedek requires one to follow very exacting guidelines. On a technical level, the ger is accepting responsibility to perform mitzvos. Through the gerus procedure, he creates an obligation upon himself to observe mitzvos (Birchas Shmuel, Kiddushin #15).

The Solomon Sefer Torah Campaign
My father in law, Reb Zev Aryeh Solomon, A”H, exemplified all that a Torah true Jew should be. He was conscientious about davening and extremely careful in his interpersonal relationships. He was diligent in regards to learning and kevius itim. From the inception of Kollel Torah Life until his last day, Reb Zev was involved on a daily basis, benefiting from his many chavrusas and shiurim. Mostly, his positive character added to the atmosphere of our community. The vacuum created by his untimely passing will not be easily filled.
In his z’chus, I would like to undertake raising the funds necessary to have a sefer Torah written in his name. Any donation, whether big or small, will help our family achieve this goal.

Tu B’Shevat – How to Check Dried Fruit – Nuts
(Hakhel)
With Tu B’Shevat a week away, we move into thoughts of preparation for a Rosh Hashana not known to the world at large. We provide below a guide of the Vaad HaKashrus of the Five Towns and Far Rockaway. We note that with respect to fresh figs, we have been advised that they are a top concern, as they can be infested with tolaim/ bugs. We also add that we have been advised that there is no issues of tolaim with respect to pomegranates. As always, one should consult with his own Rav or Posek for a final p’sak in all matters.
Very Important Note: This section is only relevant when using dried fruit or nuts in America. However, in Israel, dried fruit or nuts can have a substantially more serious insect problem. One needs to seek guidance from a credible Rabbinic source when eating Israeli dried fruits and nuts.
