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.
