Walmart Peppers Made in Israel
There were some reports on Friday that Walmart shoppers had noticed that the peppers being sold were grown in Israel.These of course cannot be eaten unless terumos and maaseros have been separated. It is not known which varieties or packages, but it is more likely to include the red, orange, and yellow varieties. In previous years, we have seen Israeli Clementines and peppers at many area grocery stores (Israeli peppers are more common in the winter season). Also, look for Israeli Jaffa oranges that are being sold with an O-U indicating trumos and maaseros have already been separated.
The OU has a helpful article explaining how to separate terumos and maaseros.

Fast of Asarah B’Teves
(Rabbi Yehuda Spitz)(In Cleveland 5775 Fast begins 6:40am, Fast ends 5:49 pm)
Why This Fast?
The reason given for fasting on Asarah B’Teves is that it is the day that the wicked Babylonian king, Nevuchadnetzar, commenced his siege of Yerushalayim[2], foreshadowing the beginning of the end of the first Beis Hamikdash, which culminated with its destruction on Tisha B’Av several years later. Therefore, Chazal declared it a public fast, one of four public fast days that memorialize different aspects of the catastrophes and national tragedies associated with the destruction of both Batei HaMikdash[3].

No More Fudging the Facts with “Pareve” Kosher Oreos
A reader has written in asking that we alert the community to a possible error in the practice of those who eat Oreo Cookies based on the assumption that while they carry an OU-D they do not have any actual dairy ingredients and are merely considered “dairy equipment.” This assumption was perhaps based on statements available online such as:
(From cRc newsletter alerts, Shavuos 5772 / 2012) “At the present time, most varieties of Oreo Cookies contain dairy ingredients, with two notable exceptions. Original Oreo Sandwich Cookie and Oreo Double Stuf Sandwich Cookie do not contain dairy ingredients, though they are manufactured on dairy equipment. The equipment is not necessarily cleaned before the [Read more…]
Help Channah Appel in Court- This Coming Tuesday
As per advice from her attorney, Channah Appel is asking anyone from the community who is free at 1:30pm on Tuesday, December 17th to come to the Cleveland Heights court across from Dave’s supermarket off of Mayfield Rd. After being surprised to find out that there was a warrant out for her arrest in Cleveland Heights, Mrs. Appel was sent to jail and booked just after Succos, being placed in a cell, fingerprinted, and photographed for a mug shot. She has been accused of stealing thousands of dollars of property from a client that she worked with in her capacity as a home organizer, in Cleveland Heights, and distributing it to needy families. She is currently out on personal bail of $2500. Her third pretrial is set for Tuesday the 17th. Colorful signs are always appreciated!

(Sun Press)(Ed: Posted about 3 weeks ago)
The new Walmart Supercenter at Oakwood Commons has been open nearly a month, selling everything from groceries, to eyeglass lenses, to hardware – and drawing mixed reviews from independent business owners.
Some merchants told Northeast Ohio Media Group that the competition hurts. But one hardware retailer said he believes Walmart has helped his business of 19 years by bringing more traffic to the area.
