Q: Someone told me that the trader joe’s kosher meat is not sealed properly for kosher standards. Is that true?
A: The Trader Joe’s kosher meat comes in a tray that is shrink wrapped with clear plastic and then a sticker with the OU kosher symbol is placed on top of the package. According to the OU this packaging is in compliance with their policies and in sync with the national standard.
Q: What is the proper way to pronounce the name of Hashem in Hallel and other places in davening אֶלוֹהַּ:
A: There are three seperate points regarding proper pronunciation of this word. 1. the end is not pronounced “ha” but rather “ah.” 2. The stress is on the penultimate syllable so not elo’AH but eLO’ah 3. The hey has a dot in it, therefore the “h” sound is emphasized.
