Question of the Week
Oreo cookies are delicious. Did you know they haven't always been kosher. Here is this weeks two-part question:
1. In what year did the Oreo become kosher?
2. What similar cookie was used by many kosher-keeping Jews for years until the Oreo became kosher?
One ticket or each correct answer; three tickets if you get them both correct. :)
