hello and welcome to starcade monthly webinar held in our offices in Baltimore Maryland I'm Robert spiegelberg and joining us today is really Sean Tendler welcome to my tumblr thank you right over thank you for taking time for your busy schedule to join us here today's webinar is going to be around the Year different issues that have to do with the calendar with come from time to time and also a lettuce alert that you have to share with us we'll get to that a little bit later this webinar is held monthly the last wednesday of the month at twelve noon if you want to be reminded of the topic of the issues you can send an email to info @ star dash K dot org animals not you up to get the emails if you want to listen by phone if something is if you're on the road or your your computer sound is over low you can call the following number 218 895 1203 again 218 895 1203 pass code 2020 all of our previous webinars are archived on our vimeo channel so go to vimeo and look for a stark a certification and we'll let the webinar we have we have with you not too long ago rabbi tendler on the Bobby checking right that's right how to do the different message that schmata method in and then we still use the same message right basically it's still it's still it's still valid so you can look at that and won't go over time today like we did that needles we did we did really quite a bit okay alright well well make up for that then we'll just we'll make it short of it will even help we liked it if you chat with us and you can chat with us on the bottom of your screen let me bring it up like this okay see on the bottom you can chat and get back to you try to take your questions or concerns can everybody hear us can anybody hear us if you can't we haven't even wanted to people can chat with us that they can hear us and see us that's great because then we know we're getting out and okay okay New York City great shall we have some people in there as well as well okay so let's start with a provable reminder from a temblor approvable as most of you probably know is a document that's written during the shmita year the sabbatical year at the end of the year and what is the purpose of it the purpose is that besides for letting the lamp life l during the shmita year in israel the rabbi's instituted that the loans all over the world are forgiven at the end of the year right so it's like yeah that's awesome each me discs awesome so this is a type of shmita as well right so it's shamita of the land if only in israel endures shmita of the middle of the lungs wherever you might be in the world so at the end of this coming year on one second before rosh hashanah what's this sunday night right another guy the lungs will be forgiven and the rabbi's were afraid that because the lungs are forgiving people might be hesitant to lend money and that would be worse for people who have to borrow I mean it's a good thing to have your loan forgiven but it's worse if you need the money here you can't get it so the institute is a document called approval which in a nutshell is that you give over your loans into the hands of a basin of a pinnacle court and so you are not allowed to collect your lungs but the base and he is allowed to collect the loans or point you back in return people like you want so you you fill out this document and that / miss you to go to those in all your money and and collect it does not need to be done if the loan is not doing it so let's say you lend somebody money and the loan is only coming do they have some time after mr. Shawn you don't need approval for that but generally recommend that everybody fell the principal even if you have because you don't always remember right you know people that you like money somebody may come to you in a couple of months and say here's one hundred dollars in or five dollars me it seemed in the minning is that everybody falls on floors below rosh hashanah everybody does it then you know if you didn't if you didn't really if you didn't fill it out and somebody comes in and tries to pay you pay you back you have to say that you are a measurement right then it's forgiving it's forgiving you don't have to pay me back now you can say even so I'm going to pay you but he doesn't have to say that and so it's recommended everybody feel on the principle and we have up on our website we have up on our website a document and use useful for this year rabbi chat we'll just put it up there is the the website you can go to there and if you that you can use fill in your city if you're multiplying by Baltimore wherever you are you fill in the city and the dates and you can use that that principle and it's both ebro and English versions in there as well right because you should understand what your name what you're doing it shouldn't just be that you think that you're also if you live in Saskatchewan you want know how to spell Saskatchewan eboot I would say just use the other ok ok very good ok Abraham is from Mexico is listen to us yes principal also applies in Mexico anywhere in the world you have to what about if you were on in out of space you still need a brizzle right because it's nothing to do with the land it does it has to do with the ppm and so doesn't that ok um well that would be something if we could get some of the astronauts and the space station to listen to our to our webinar that would be good it would be a coup that may be out of this world yeah it would be out of this world is very Chapman said is it rose bowl only for long so is also for fees charged with a missile lessons but not yet pink ok so that's a good question um we just this is just the principal reminder we're not going to go too much into the details but to answer your question it's only for lumps however I fees like my missile lessons if it can turn into a loan if you sent if he if the bar mitzvah teacher sent you a bill then it becomes alone if you just own the money because you work for you then it's not alone but if he build you or dr. this is my let's say a doctor he doesn't loan people money but they but when he sends that sends him a bill then it turns into a loan and then they just goes up from the love milvus and then they they they all the money at this point and and and so therefore that's a good reason why everybody should fill one out because you never know where you know who you who you think you know you'll realize people really owe you loans is there anything else about principle that we want to mention we do it to the end of the year let's say something someday what is it two weeks of hell oh you're the one for me boy is ever according to social knock her out and I believe the minute by a lot of calcium is they do a plausible both at the beginning ish meet death and ashmita because it's a month like as when Schmidt asthma Sharma is at the beginning or at the end the rush so therefore even people who did want last year rosh hashanah should also do it again this year Oh Shoshanna this way to make sure you're covered on all basis is right behind it doesn't recommend to do it right at the beginning of this past year but if you even if you did you need to do it again um and and and to write out the to write out the the principle so let's just say that if you have any further questions on the principle any as you filling it out you may have a question I mean you need to use a based in a rabina chol court but it can be any three people who aren't related hannover messe and over by mr. right men moreover I'm into it and not related and they can they should understand what they're doing and and fill out the principle if you have any further questions you can email us the best place probably directly to rabbi frankel right correct who is heading our our Institute of Allah at the starcade and his email is a lotta at Starrcade org so that's a che la ca at star hyphen k door one of these days we will dispense with a hyphen just like it said oh just start kosher it's star kosher or short players shocked it's not a Frenchman dark start but meanwhile until that day we have a stipend in in that okay you would is asking if you can move up a little bit of a hammer and speak a little louder okay so that's that's really the just a provable reminder people should not forget to do the possible now I want to tell you something rabbi tendler there is also has to do with the calendar and I discovered it this week and I confirmed it with her am I ever who is our or calendar expert okay um in normal years there is a little bit of a discrepancy between the parties that are read on Chavez between outside of Israel and in Israel sometimes everybody falls down challenge Ozzy falls on Chavez let's say have usually a pacer is an issue right so so after pesach passover for a couple of weeks people know that there is a discrepancy sometimes if they traveled israel they may hear a different posture read over there then they would over here but what what is unique about this coming year is that from pesach until august until august the partials are different it's taking it to august for for for us to catch up to the pasture that they are reading over there so that means and why it's important to know now so i pointed out on the email is that let's say you're making a bar mitzvah in july in israel right and the custom is that the bar mitzvah boy reads the passion right who would think that when you get there you got to make sure it's the right posture let me know it's so unusual that that it lasts into the end of july but imagine he prepares one partition against their lease if they're one ahead and they don't want to hear his posture you have to make a separate minion and even when you make this separate minion he has to read the whole passion one aaliyah it's very difficult most common mistake is usually when you find out air shabbos that doctorate tomorrow is moncler edition of the rug that the voter support for a period but this is a lot worse than that ripping so anybody is preparing to go there's another reason for this and this is am I talking about the way how much should be clear time next year from hey stop until the summer right 2016 right 2006 option i'd vote so and the reason for this robot ever explain maybe we should have a whole webinar on it because it's it's a real quirk of the calendar is because um two things come into play over here one is that the last day of pesach is shabbos for outside of Israel eighth day is Chavez so that means that we are reading what is red normally on pencil but in Israel they're reading the next fashion okay which is a creemos but since it's a leap here it is also a leap here that means that parshas that normally could go together have to be spread out and therefore until the only time they can catch up is at the beginning of august in the only time we have read one we can catch up to them is it it will be getting a Borg instead not this man saying yes not asthma say is where we where we catch up and so I just want to point out with somebody who's thinking making amendments or know somebody who's making a pizza in in Israel to point out to them to make sure that they are going to be reading the right the right posture because of that Celtic like one of the last time this happened for a meeting no i didnt noe themself it's nothing much fun whatever i have right here yes so i asked her I never when that hat wells last time 1995 was the last time you have this confluence so it's 21 years difference so most people will not realize that there's even such a possibility and and so it is interesting thing to know so service pointing out that there's no required to make it up according to so that all that may be true but again if you're an American boy trying to read your posture you get there and interested in the show where you're trying to read in your posture because they're one ahead then you're going to have a problem actually had that once i had a cousin's Bar Mitzvah special on I was an additional learning in the mirror I was an artist row learning in the mirror and and my father wasn't able to go i was a cousin Berman so I went and I read his speech for him at the bar mitzvah and when I read it I realized he had prepared at Roger practice fellows I see and it was precious lot this year so okay he was it was all ok that's it I thought it was interesting on posture cork a quirk of this year calendar due to the confluence of events of the leap year that's coming up and also placed us being starting on Friday night ok so let's go to another issue that applies around the Year shmita the sabbatical year issues and I want to tell you in return when I was in Israel over the summer I have disclosed to be visiting there and and and there's two things one is that much of the year passes by many of the eighth of the inhabitants without them even sort of realizing it because they buy in stores that exclusively sell produce that is not treated and so if you live in an inner a what they call it already area you may not even realize you know that the shmita of course but it doesn't affect you that much because you only buy in this these stores where they take care of the problem for you but one thing I realized that you have to be so careful because I had some water it was very hot it was very hot I don't know if you read about that it was extremely hot this summer anyway I had water in the car and water stays a couple days in the hot Sun and in plastic you want to see long drink it anymore because you're afraid of leeches out the plastics you want to spill it out so normally so I got my car I want to spill now they see there's a tree over there right there's a tree on the side on the sidewalk why should I waste the water so I go over and I want to pour it to what is it raining but then I realized well I'm not sure you can do that because it's mita right that you can only water if you're doing it to the tree save the tree but they must have some they'll leave my water right then I'm counting on my water so I'm not trying to save the tree so I realized I've spilled in together so sometimes there are things that come up that don't really don't you don't even know you'll ever realize when your usual but some sometimes these issues of commute apply are affecting us more here in the diaspora so talk a little bit about the carrots problem that's still that's still coming up right it's not it's just seriously a lot of Israel is a very big exporter of fruits and vegetables this year particular is a lot of carrots that are being exported from Israel and peppers to every other citrus fruits but in such truths have been hit the market here from Israel yet but they usually come around this time of year and these are all fruits and vegetables that have fish she is on them and consumers in America have to be aware of that that's the carrots with in particular I think we might have talked about this previously but it's still going i was doing my goals still going on it's looking you got you got you got many many many calls about it its effects restaurants it affects caterers it affects all kinds of companies that use fresh vegetables because a lot of the suppliers get in you know got a lot of the big national supplies are getting in these items from israel and they just ship it out because they don't know anything different and it's really something we have to monitor for from our end and consumers have to monitor from there and when they buy produce in the store to make sure they're not from israel the particular brand of carrots was called darrode farms but there's a food if you really do others just like we did I didn't know that but um so those are based on the hetero material which when I can go into now but we we don't rely on that and well there's a few some of them were missing a filipina sorry I really want some work out some are just straight push pious protostellar shipped out of Israel you know she'll like it in okay I'm properly okay so all right so but the carrots is particular issues because the carrots can last I don't think they're picking carrots anymore in Israel but the cat season is over but they put them in a cold storage and they can continue to to ship them so that's something people need to be aware of ongoing now after after this after rosh hashanah after a period of time the the vegetables will not be a problem anymore because they're it's picking from the front they're getting from them from the new crop well it still have a Troma summations issue which you know something people should have also any produce from israel generally as a trim surmises issue right so we were getting we were getting many calls about oranges and citrus fruits particularly people back in Casco right through did you get that a lot we got a lot of people costco seems to epsilon some contracted by israeli produce and people were wondering if it's like the carrots it wasn't like the carrots because the carrots were called swishing which were forbidden to be eaten but the the citrus fruits were really from the previous crop from the last from the previous year's crop 66-year crop so they needed to have the time the timing taken but but that the citrus fruit season i believe is over now at this point but when it starts up again right when sometime in the winter well this harvest that's coming in that's going to be this year it's not easy being is going to be a mentor so now really so shamita is-is-is top shinai and hey 5775 but because because of the way the shmita works with fruits that it follows the budding of it hinata so it takes us all the way into I five seconds vacations will extend far beyond just the seventh year right and and again even more so in America because in Israel if you're buying in the stories that are my stuff under officer you're not buying though that that progress but in America you don't know what you're buying unless you read the label right now legally all-pro this has to have the source stated on it well that's a legal requirement um so you know generally speaking we don't necessarily tell you you have to assume they're from Israel right and look it doesn't say anything or you know if you don't notice that it says something you don't have to assume from Israel but just be aware that there's a tremendous amount of carrots soon citrus fruits or peppers and also tremendous amount of dates that are on the market now from Israel and people should be aware of that if you're shopping in stores that are on their certification or work with certification agencies for example of all four seven mile marker the embroidered produce department is not certified by the StarCAVE but we work with them and make sure that all the pros is there is not problematic and no further true miss maestra sore losers she is concerns so we have it in this upcoming Cassius comments on our quarterly publication we have an article there by rabbi dovid Stein's always our Israeli representative about what's up coming in shmita so that our that Cassius current is coming out that's miss rosenstein's department coming out shortly right after FBO after FB on tape okay after so good spin okay so that will be coming out has a chart of all the dates that you need to know the when the produce when did when the produce from Israel will start to be two of shmita and then there's also beer nice beer shmita what you need to know about as well so that's a good article to look for let us see over here if there's any questions or concerns and we just mentioned out of all people going to be buying a sorghum this year for circus that there's going to be two types of a scrotum on the market is going to be Israeli okay and then on Israeli is throwing them on the market okay we can talk about throwing that's is that's a hot topic I think we mentioned that there ago clearly is raelia story i'm obviously are going to be from boats resident and all issues pertaining to their permissibility and the night outside of our all been taken care of already so they are allowed to be bought each and i generally speaking the way they do it is they are my lead which means they include the sale they include a nest room in the sale of the lulav but again this he's not paying for the non paying for the extra fee paying for the pain for a little over to get an extra long with it but daniel is there's different systems of doing it but it's a business system that you mentioned briefly is just as expanding them for a second is that is that a person who allows people to come into his field to collect this row game everything is free for all right but if he they will damage the trees if they do that so he is allowed to basically to arrange it that the based in the reticle court take care of it and they can then hire him because he's the most logical person to do it safely and carefully to take off the australian and they pay him not for the asst rogan before his work that he has done so so they should be cheaper it should be cheaper in there because you only pay for the work during for the estimate but technically it should be like that but somehow the love and prices go up man it doesn't always work like that i have an ad i saw in the paper of my family for oats are affecting s rhogam under the ruling of Beth in for pricing God willing we'll have at rhogam sets from $14 percent with a minimum order of 100 sets wow so that sounds pretty cheap so if you want to order that uh you know I imagined another desk at the top of the line but still it still sounds well I really should meet that Rotom should also not look as nice there's nothing to show them because they know they could take care of it what your ultimate survival the fruit but they can't really take care of the trees to produce you know I love plus mode there a stratum mmm but I did see a rationale in one of the SCORM one of the authorities explaining why they could be different prices for nice at the higher price for a nicer Esther this rationale was that even though you're only paying for the work but a person who gets a nicer s rug is willing to pay more towards the work so and other people would be willing to pay less towards the work the other rationale for especially also amazing price they also they do is part of the price structure and make up the farmer will is is spread over assuming that there's many different price levels for different assortment collectively all equally goes that's the idea right to the collectively equals the amount of work that goes that goes thanks but this authority was only saying that could make sense for let's say three levels or a couple levels not that every Esther has a different price that's what it's an argument but there's a lot a lot to discuss that now after if you do buy an ice rink from Israel and some people don't some people this year will only buy from there's a lot of help a lot of California anniversary I'd market this year but afterwards some hole that you have to send the produce the S word back to Israel and there are collection points for that brother Hyneman holds that you did not need to do that you have to let it rot but dancing rotten and you can throw it out but his is connector his idea is that if you just let it dry out till it becomes a hard brown ball that's not rotted because you can reconstitute a leg by putting in water so he says you have to wrap it in plastic and put in the fridge so it still remains moist but yet then has the opportunity to rock Marilyn and mall to get more luminous right now run the other thing fresh meat is that what's going to be coming on the market now is wine red wine season is just coming now and at all the 2015 wines from Israel will be wines that happiness trees there's less of them available obviously most wineries don't operate this year but there's number than that to make wine with Russia and consumers especially United States should be aware of that and make sure if you see any Israeli bottle of wine starting let's say three months from now that is a 2015 gear on it understand that it has trees so you want to check the certification check the label I know mm if it is a reliable agency then you have their rules about that in mind such one you can't waste it if you use it for a dollar you can't overspill it like you would normally would use it for cooking because you don't normally correct cook one right so that's that's something you need to know but the main thing is consumers just be aware this wine is going to be on the market in the next few months so okay so let's let's see let's take some of the comments here the questions okay it must be the fruit itself but also apply these seeds or spices okay I'm not sure exactly what what that is referring to okay there's another quirk in the calendar patches but yeah Ellis is not resolved 5775 it was bred prior to rosh hashanah as i seen wasabi chuva will be reading 5-7 7-6 as there are two shadows in between restaurant in circles okay so as another quirk we should make another webinar by global with her may have her drive quirks in the Jewish right we have had that I mean it right right so I once the similar quark is that what which year did not have a shabbos konica is it quark like that too there was a year without a shabbos konica because was in January right so then that's a really technically it's impossible because they're eight days and one of those must be shabbos but if you hit right thing was it was an English here that didn't have a shot was konica because right the way that's the way it works out okay if the meaning is the spilled over would that be considered a waste whatever spilled over was used for the midst for a minute no it's specifically stated that you're not allowed to spill it over it has to be consumed in the normal way of eating and not even if you're doing for a mitzvah that's not not permitted okay so i think that the go today around the Year issues that we want to wanted to bring up I hope the hope that people found them interesting no let's go let's go to the lettuce well before we goes all more round one more for Kevin I mentioned is that your season okay gardening fluence also a seasonal timely issue as give a brief history what yo is basically is that as we all know the spring is the planting season and the summer is the harvest season that's how it is never to stroll that's how the term refers to it as and that so it is today in the United States as well so a lot of crops grains are planted in the spring harvested in the summer right around now and in the third says that all the new crops do not become permitted to eat until after the first day of asa next year Android of carbon homers were on the first date days that we're in host arts after the second day of Pesach so that would be that's where that comes from that the five grains which are subject to the prohibition of cloudless in your son which are now being harvested are now going to become prohibited to me and until after next year for those people that keep you keep yo should different different men walking in the outside edge Israel what are we people are stringent about this or not you know start k as an organization or policy is not necessarily to be stringent about unless people want to want to make claims that they're saying it's y'all showing but the idea is that all the grains that are now coming on the market now are going to be from the new crop of grains are the major agencies in the United States are not not necessarily strict about unless otherwise place although if we will say if we make a statement that something is y'all Sean that means we are certifying it as the ocean the stark a statement responding responsibility but the idea is that if those are people who are stringent anyang should be aware that they should have to start checking date codes and product stuntin to figure out from the day code whether this item was produced remember crop or from stole from these start stocking up on your Cheerios that's not helping your area is exactly an oatmeal or my Herman's guide which is due out very soon that's the point of his guide where he gives instructions and how to read the date codes and various products to ascertain whether they are from the last year with from the previous crop it from the new crop and for those people who are stringent about it they'll know exactly what their allotted by what's in a letter by we hope to publish soon also a short handy guide for many commonly used products right this guy is quite extensive and lately no propulsion short God people who are stringent I also know exactly what the clothes are if i'm not mistaken dr. who is our president has an article about in the cautious currents about yo Shawn but the basics of every job you if you can find it and put up the link and we also have other information about the bad girl showing up on our side already starred educated organ again if you have any questions let me just repeat you can email them to us and info at Starrcade org also are busy families 4 10 4 8 4 4 110 for cashiers and other questions that you have so I want to talk about the latest issue of it done so I said only conscious professionals can get excited about a plain lettuce well you know it used to be it was to be that you know someone had to go out with a client a non kosher restaurant Rose used to be safe to get the fruit or vegetable platter moon so that's not safe in words the vegetables and a lot of the foods may have bug issues somebody said it would be by the water you drink water but if you're in New York City measured the water either look at border than that water right so you know it's sort of left sore left hanging a little bit but anyway so as many people have no we go tremendous volume of phone calls about this that you know many people noticing that a lot of the bag salads click the iceberg that used to have a Stargate regularly nowadays does not have a Stargate this was going on for the last number of months already so so just to recap that not every bag of lettuce that the same door Fresh Express is is certified by stark a you have to look at that only like a only one bank i start at the day that the day code if it doesn't have to start Damian's it didn't pass so people wondering why why doesn't my lettuce have a star K alright so that's the reason the reason is the bags that the bags that pass got to start getting bears that don't do not get the star K but why is it not dancing so why is not passing so that's the golden question that we all want the answer to but basically what's going to have like a little bit terminal we just call them as they see it as we see it but basically what's been happening this year which is a little bit of another quirk in the calendar as they say another some quirky issues is that lettuce has grown in two different regions in the United States generally in the winter at school in Arizona in the summer it's growing in California and typically let's talk about Arizona for a minute because the issues started in the winter in Arizona when they're growing in Arizona Arizona typically is very cool and dry which are great conditions for producing lettuce and all vegetables with very low insect pressure because bugs don't thrive in those conditions insect pressure means Association physician infestation and industrial X was referred to as insect pressure right so so for all our experts Imperial you know what you're talking about but I'm not sure so so those aren't those are ideal conditions for very low levels of insect pressure however this year in Arizona they had a very warm and humid winter and that caused a tremendously high level of insect infestation and as such even iceberg lettuce which typically is much cleaner was having an issue now it's also important to understand why iceberg lettuce is different than lettuce so the main romaine lettuce romaine lettuce everybody knows has issues with bugs because romaine lettuce is very soft it's very green and tastes good we like it bugs like it no the heads are wide open so boys go right in and you know romaine lettuce is traditionally known as having very high levels of insect infestation what people don't know though is that iceberg lettuce also has there's some very unique challenges when it comes insect infestation as well even though when you buy the head it's totally closed and looks like a ball so everyone thinks how can bugs get in there but the truth is that iceberg lettuce when it grows initially it grows open just like romaine the first couple of weeks and then only then it closes up so if it had high levels of insect infestation when it was open the bugs got in there remaining there and they get stuck in there not only do they get stuck in there and only can they have children and build families inside the heads of lettuce but you can't spread the pesticides morbi puzzle heads are closed so if you get a problem early on in the iceberg and iceberg lettuce it's going to be a problem for the rest of that crop and that's really what started in Yuma and metaphor unit Calif know in Arizona and I was open as are you in Arizona region that's really what started then and it's in California where they have the drought now so it's only continued the high levels of insect pressure caused the bugs are looking for moisture working over us act you're hungry actually Calif Northern California Salinas Valley where most of the iceberg lettuce quote comes from actually sits on the largest underground river in the entire world so they don't really need much water for the vegetables to grow however the surrounding area is the surrounding mountains and regions in California are dry as a desert because of the drought so all the bugs that are there are looking for anything they can get their hands on to eat so the only thing around from wiles to eat is the is the lowest feelings and you live in Salinas guys I Salinas Valley High so they're all coming in and infesting the Salinas Valley Salinas is south of north south of San Jose about our house south of Samson right but it's considered rural in California so so because of the drought conditions so insect pressure insect infestation levels innocent miss Valley I'm an extremely high this year so we had the winter crop that had high levels infestation now we have the summer crop that is high levels infestation so so so let's say normally what percentage of the bags pet certified iceberg yeah almost all and now we're percentage is very little like ten percent it depends which company it depends you know companies that have better washing systems are going to be more successful I don't have a better washing systems and just rely on the lettuce coming in fairly clean enough or having a very difficult time one thing I will say is that what I've seen sometimes is you know some of these bags of us have stickers on them some other certification which is like I guess doing some double checking on it but I've seen those they like the red stickers orange stickers on bags that don't have a star cake right and then so we're saying it didn't pass and they're saying that it's okay well I could understand if it had a star care and then they want to do you know more inspections on it okay fine but if we really saying that it Pass and then for them to check some bags of it into some samples whatever they're doing to say it's okay that's you know we don't recommend it obviously it's without getting into all the details but basically you know we have mushy fuel plants or doing constant checking on all these batches of lettuce and if the starcade symbols on there that means to be certified right it's not on there aight me one or two things either we didn't check it and obviously won't certify that or we checked it and it failed right now most of the time on especially on ice
