In announcing the upcoming webcast, Rabbi Eliyahu Safran, OU Kosher's Vice President of Communications and Marketing, noted the many requests coming from previous listeners to OU Kosher's webcasts "to have Rabbis Belsky and Schachter respond and comment on the many recurring questions and issues in all areas of halachic concern and practice affecting both the individual and community.”

Topics that have already been suggested by listeners include: priorities in charitable giving; the need to better prioritize charitable contributions during economic depression; how to best educate with so many contemporary distractions; and conflicts between home and school.

The webcast is part of OU Kosher's continuing and ever growing educational outreach to the community, which includes:

• "OU Kosher Coming to Schools and Communities" program;
