Religious Council Announcement

There are some lists circulating around regarding Kosher for Passover products. Even though the lists may be halachically acceptable, community members are advised to consult our Rabbis in this regard, since our community, as a minhag, has always observed a very strict standard for Kosher for Passover products.
