hi, We recently brought some "palvilho" flour back from brazil, which is made from a root (I believe it's the manioc, related to the potato). We know that the flour is kosher, but since there are no hechshers in south america, we have no way of knowing if it is kosher for passover. Would you be able to guide me as to how I could find out? Thank you, Brad Cohen

Hi; I represent a support group in NYC for adults with ADD/ADHD. Many of our members are Jewish. We are constantly asked if there are more services in the New York area... we know of a few...(JBFS for ex..) However... based on the feedback from many first time meeting attendees.. I am looking for the right Jewish Organizations t oreach out to, so that they can let their clients know that our support group exists.... Please feel free to check out our website (which has NO ads)... http://www.maaddsg.org Thank you for your help.....

If oysters are unclean, why are pearls not? And why are they prized so highly even by Jewish jewlers?

If oysters are unclean, why are pearls not? And why are they prized so highly even by Jewish jewlers?
