THIS PASSOVER, ENJOY TZAFONA.

MASTERFULLY CRAFTED FROM A REMARKABLY EXCEPTIONAL VINTAGE, TZAFONA “RESERVE” IS A MERITAGE BLEND OF MERLOT AND CABERNET SAUVIGNON THAT PAYS HOMAGE TO THE LEGENDARY BORDEAUX REGION OF FRANCE.

A Northern Experience

The perfect sip of wine is an experience. It’s a swirl of the glass, aromas flowing, flavours rolling across your tongue.

Hailing from the world class wine region of the Niagara Peninsula, Tzafona’s grapes share their source with many renowned and award-winning wines.

Niagara’s mineral-rich soil profile ensures that Tzafona Wines are produced using the finest grapes available. Coupled with exceptional production methods, these grapes ripen and accumulate their flavours gradually, producing some of the world’s most complex, balanced, and food-friendly wines.

COR is celebrating a rich 70-year history of kashrus in Toronto and in Canada. The chairmen of the Rabbinical Vaad Hakashruth, my father HaRav Gedalia Felder ל״צז and HaRav Yitzchak Kirzner ל״צז, together with many Rabbonim, lay leaders and devoted staff of COR during these seven decades, served the COR and the Jewish Community with great distinction in making the COR into a recognized world-class kashrus organization.

The theme of this COR Pesach Kosher Corner Magazine is Dor l’Dor, generation to generation. This is of course the theme of the entire Yom Tov of Pesach and, in particular, the seder which manifests itself through the mitzvah of v’higadita l’vincha, and you shall tell your children.

I would like to discuss this mitzvah and its relevance to chinuch habanim (teaching children) in general, and apply it to the COR and our mission of kashrus

The Torah says in Sefer Shemos:

“And that you may relate in the ears of your child and of your grandchild how I made a mockery of Egypt, and how I displayed My signs among them and you will know that I am Hashem.”
