Example Sentences

  • "Blessing has nothing to do with it. But if something is certified kosher for Passover, the production and storage will have been supervised (not necessarily by a Rabbi, it just has to be someone who knows what they're doing) to ensure that it's stored, transported, and manufactured in the required way. It is possible for something to be kosher for Passover without being certified kosher for Passover." (source)
