A few days ago I sent out a brief message about chometz after pesach. In that message was a note about arrangements at Shoprite near Monsey. Those arrangements have changed as of Thursday, Mar 21. See below.
*UPDATE** ON CHOMETZ AFTER PESACH AT SHOPRITE-TALMAN (MONSEY)* *UPDATED 21 MAR 13* Over the past many decades, a Vaad in Monsey had been working with the management of the Shoprite supermarket on Route 59 in Tallman to minimize the probability that chometz purchased there right after pesach has halachic problems of chometz. Until now, this year they were not able to conclude satisfactory arrangements with the store management for this task. Therefore it was announced that they can no longer verify the arrangements for any chometz at Shoprite. *However, at last minute negotiations with the Vaad, the management of this Shoprite changed their mind. Therefore, the arrangements after pesach for chometz sold at this Shoprite will be the same as for the many years in the past.* (Note: The Vaad has consisted of dedicated volunteer individuals in the Monsey community. Y. Herman is merely reporting on their activities, but he is not active in this Vaad.)
