Post Pesach Pointers – YISE and Beyond
Chometz may be purchased from the following stores immediately after Pesach 2016:
* All Capitol K establishments and caterers.
* National stores: B.J.'s, Costco, CVS, Food Lion, Kmart, Mars, Petco, PetSmart, Royal Farms, Rite Aid, Sam's Club, Save-A-Lot, Shoppers Food and Pharmacy, Trader Joe's, Walgreens, Walmart, Wegmans, Winn-Dixie
* Stores in our community: Aldi's, H Mart, Harris Teeter, MOM's Organic Market, ShopRite of White Oak, Whole Foods Market
Chometz MAY NOT be purchased from Snider's until four weeks after Pesach.
Due to possible Chometz distributed by a Jewish company, if one has an option of purchasing Chometz from other stores, it is commendable not to purchase Chometz from Giant, Safeway, and Target until four weeks after Pesach.
Sometimes I'm tempted to drink from Eliyahu's cup of wine at the Seder…
But then I remember what happened to me when I sat in his chair in the Synagogue.
