Letter from CJN Reader: A Word About Tzedaka Before Purim
In better times I gave a fair amount of charity. $1,000.00 to Chinuch Atzmai, $1.000.00 to Square Town, $1,000.00 to Oorah, $1,000 a year to each Yeshiva that I went to. Then there was $100.00 to the average meshulach.
Times were good and I had plenty of money. I spent the money on glamorous charities who gave me alot of Kovod in exchange for donations and had exciting promotions. I only once gave Matan B’Seyser a check, that was for four hundred dollars.
Brachos of Fiber One, Pringles, Craisins, Corn Cakes, and Granola Bars
(Hakhel)
It could be said that one is not intruding into the life of another if, out of care and concern, he would like to aid another perform a Mitzvah properly. As one example, we provided cases where the bracha over an item is not well known and one should feel comfortable mentioning this fact and double-checking that his fellow is about to make the correct bracha. A reader commented that the bracha on several of the foods that we noted, is in fact, the subject of dispute among authorities. Accordingly, we provide our most recent brief notes on the brachos at hand:
A. Fiber One. The OU, which gives the Hashgacha on Fiber One cereal, has determined that the proper brachos on this cereal are Mezonos and Al HaMichya. We note that the original determination as to Fiber One was that its bracha was a Shehakol, but that position changed over a year ago [we do not know whether this was due to a change in the constitution of the product].
Purim Costume Shatnez Warning
The Luach Davar B’Ito reminds all that Purim costumes (especially hats from Eastern Europe) may contain Shatnez, and accordingly should be checked in advance of Purim to make sure that the costume is usable. Renting a costume may prove difficult if one is not able to partially open it up to inspect for shatnez. The Luach also advises against costumes that can scare others and also reminds parents to double-check the wearability of a child’s costume to avoid last minute disappointment that the costume does not fit or falls apart.
