By BEN GALLOB
Yaakov Kornreich, in an
article in the March issue of
the "Young Israel View-
point," asserts that "while
some extra expense on Pas-
sover is unavoidable, the in-
formed kosher consumer
can easily avoid price goug-
ing on many items if given
the facts."
Kornreich noted that
grocers and food suppliers
know that Jewish shoppers
will pay more for Passover
products "and invariably
charge higher prices for
them." Accordingly, he ad-
ded, "The very same item, or
its equivalent, is likely to be
available at a lower price if
it can be bought off the gen-
eral merchandise shelves of
the supermarket instead of
from the special Passover
section."
He recommended that ob-
servant shoppers buy can-
ned or bottled Passover pro-
ducts which have a long
shelf life "immediately after
Passover for next Pas-
sover," adding that left-over
Passover merchandise is
often sold at clearance, after
the holiday, "at a fraction of
its pre-Passover price."

Tips for Passover Shoppers

TEL AVIV (ZINS) — The
newspaper Yediot Ahronot
quoted a senior Israel Air
Force officer who said that
AWACS radar planes in the
hands of Saudi Arabia
would pose a tremendous
threat to Israel in the event
of war.
The officer said, however,
that the Saudis will need
several years to fully im-
plement the. AWACS. 'He
said Israel will have to de-
vise a plan to destroy or Cap-
ture the AWACS in the
event of a new war, which
he said would be a very
costly undertaking.
Here's a $1 refund on
our Kosher for Passover Butter.
Kornreich declared it
was also important not to
overbuy for the Passover
Seder. Shmurah matza,
which many Orthodox
families use "for the
mitzva of eating mat-
zoh," is used three times
during each Seder and its
use is not required by
Jewish Law for the rest of
the Seder or for the rest of
Passover, he said.
He declared that such
purchases, such as frozen
pure fruit juices, must be
purchased, at the latest, two
days before Passover. After
the laws of Passover go into
effect the day before Pas-
sover, all process foods
purchaSed for Passover
must be produced under
Passover rabbinical super-
vision.
