CHODOSH BULLETIN 28 Feb 03
The third and last issue of the Guide to Chodosh has been mailed out. The following are additions and corrections since the publication of the Guide.
Schreiber Bakeries, 3008 Ave M, Brooklyn and 409 Ave M. Everything is Yoshon except muffins and whatever contains oatmeal. Under the hashgocho for Yoshon of the Kehilah Kashrus.
Le Chaim Fruit Bars. The example given on page 31 is wrong. The code of 2350 should have stated (2=year, &). In addition, any Le Chaim bar that states Yoshon on the label is Yoshon without the need to check codes.
CHOMETZ INFORMATION
Over the past several years, I have published a collection of data on supermarkets from the perspective of buying chometz after pesach. This is meant as a guide for Rabbonim, with little specific data for the average consumer. In this respect, it is very different from the Guide to Chodosh. The first draft of this years report is available for you to look at. I invite comments on this. In particular, I have not found a good way to figure out when to stop and start buying chometz in questionable stores after pesach. How does one trace the path of a package found in a store after pesach that is, say 150 from its packing? Any suggestions about this would be welcome.
To see the draft report send E mail to <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>[EMAIL PROTECTED]
In the message type:
get Chometz.txt
Make sure that you capitalize as shown.

Now, for the first time, we are offering on an experimental basis a formatted version of the Guide by E mail, in the PDF format. This file can only be read if you have the free Acrobat reader (available from <http://www.adobe.com/acrobat>www.adobe.com/acrobat.) This preserves most of the format of the full, printed Guide. The page layout is slightly altered, so that the table of contents and the index may be off by 1-2 pages. This version is also available to you free of charge on the condition that if you print it out it should be for your own use only, that you do not distribute it to others. To request this send an E mail to <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>[EMAIL PROTECTED] and request the PDF version of the Guide. The file that you will get is large, about 304 KB in size. Make sure that your E mail system allows such large attachments to received mail messages.
