So why indeed is this night different from all other nights? That, of course, is the prototypical question regarding Pesach, but given the complexity of the Yom Tov and its preparations and observance, there are countless other questions that even the most
sophisticated and learned Jews might have.
In response, once again this year OU Kosher will present a “Question and Answer Webcast for All Your Pesach Inquiries,” Tuesday, March 24 at 2:00 p.m. on http://www.ou.org/index.php/ouradio/webcast/.
As usual, the questions will be answered by the OU’s two halachic poskim, Rabbi Yisroel Belsky and Rabbi Hershel Schachter. Most recently, they were the experts on a January “Kashrus in the Workplace” webcast and a November “Kosher Home, Sweet Home Part II” program.
“The webcast, coming a bit more than two weeks before the Yom Tov, will provide ample time for men and women to ask the questions they need to prepare for the Yom Tov and to observe its eight days properly,” declared Rabbi Eliyahu Safran, Senior Rabbinic Coordinator and Vice President of Communications and Marketing at OU Kosher. “As with all other kashrus webcasts, it will be archived so that it can be referred to again and again.”
Rabbi Safran points out that the Rabbis Belsky and Schachter webcasts are part of OU Kosher’s continuing and ever-growing educational outreach to the community, which includes the “OU Kosher Coming to Schools and Communities” program; the highly informative and entertaining Kosher Tidbits postings on OU Radio; and the OU Kosher educational DVDs.
