On behalf of the President of the Vaad Hakashruth of the Capital District and his officers and Board we wish you and your families a happy, healthy and sweet Pesach. Each of us will choose the best way to fulfill the celebration of the holiday. Some of us will begin to reunite with family and friends (vaccinated), some in more limited environments.
Throughout the year we have endeavored to partner with Federation and Jewish Family Services to make sure we care for all families in whatever needs there are.
Our role has always been to provide the most comprehensive information to answer questions you and our community may have. This year we continue to do all we can to help and support local Kashruth to the highest degree. We have chosen to provide you with website links to the largest kosher agencies for your convenience. If you still have questions do not hesitate to call us.
When it comes to medicine, our Vaad advisements have been to always follow your physician and take all medications as prescribed. On a more homeopathic or probiotic level we have the newest information that can holp you choose your needed supplements with the least number of halachic issues. Please email vhcd51@yahoo.com or call the Vaad Office 518-489-1530 with your questions.
As a note, the holiday is enveloped with food and kashruth, and should truly be a time of Simchah (joy). The word simchah in Hebrew is very close to the mishpacha (family) in Hebrew; the only extra letter is a Peh which could mean our mouth and the letter is attached to the Hebrew word Peh-sach (Passover).
In all what we eat and even more importantly what we say can bring us closer to family whether in person or in Zoomland Hollywood squares.
Please celebrate, enjoy, experience and prayfully share with others appropriately for a Chag Kasher V’Sameach.
Shalom,
Rabbi Moshe Bomzer, Rav HaMachshir Stephen Levy, President
