Message from Cheder Menachem:
We know you miss them terribly…
Every time you want to bake a batch of cookies or when you are just wishing for chocolate mousse on your Shabbos menu. Where is that simple pleasure of reaching for that small handful of chocolate morsels as you pass through the kitchen, again?
Our sources tell us that southern California Trader Joe’s shelves are wiped clean of their signature chocolate chips bearing the OK pareve symbol. We heard of friends who have stocked up on 50, 75, 100, even 250 bags! We even heard of someone who gave a bag of these chips as a hostess gift. The awful truth is that there are simply no more pareve chocolate chips to be bought…until now!
Cheder Menachem feels your pain, and we are here to help. We heard you cry out and here is our answer.
As we are gearing up for The Cheder Menachem Annual Auction, taking place IY”H Monday, June 11, 21 Sivan, we are offering a unique opportunity to stem those Trader Joe’s cravings. Available only online, we are proud to present our newest and possibly rarest prize. Twenty bags of Trader Joes Chocolate Chips are being raffled off for only $5 per ticket!
What a sweet (or semi-sweet) deal! Although we know 20 bags won’t last forever, we feel it’s a good start. Perhaps these last bags will carry you until Trader Joe’s reverts back to packaging their pareve chips on pareve equipment.
For your chance to win those little brown disappearing pieces, order tickets online at ChederMenachemAuction.com and purchase a few tickets for this once-in-an-auction prize. You might just be able to break into your stash and bake a batch of melt-in-your-mouth chocolate chip cookies.
For more info, to order tickets and to view our 60 non-chocolate prizes please visit us at ChederMenachemAuction.com.

This should b our bigest problem! 🙂 🙂 🙂
it is just a joke.
… u worry about chocolate chips?
these kids should be protesting about Sholom Rubashkin, or any worthy cause! use your energy to teach ur children good and kindness… not how to get chocolate chips back into store shelves!
I love Chocolate and I know Trader Joes Chocolate Chips are the best, but still, this is very grub way to talk about food, nu whats lubavitch? It’s a smart fundraiser though.
Cheder Menachem was mentioned today in an article in the Wall Street Journal
The kids are cute but why are all the chassidishe ladies going nuts over GASHMIYUS? CHOCOLATE!!
Yay we want pareve cc
Danielle you are amazing!

#18 excuse me Chanie pinson is also one of the action coordinators anyways go Chanie pinson
you guys are utterly ridiculous!!!!
and yes i’ve tasted them,nothing to write home about!!!
how pathetic…….I hope the kids werent doing this during school hours..
no there are no places out here in california to get parve chocolate chips that are REAL chocolate. The supermarkets here only have with “D”
Yes its not the end of the world, just like going back to hand washing laundry instead of washing machines.
Whole Foods has delicious chocolate bits, with chocolate liquor and chocolate butter, certified by the OK.
LA is unbelievbly lucky you moved here and our cheder gets to have you! !Hands down, the best principal out there!! THANK YOU for all you do on a daily basis!!! WE LOVE RABBI GREENBAUM!!!
Since there are so many places (outside Brooklyn) where pareve chocolate chips (NOT the fake waxy imitation chocolate that the heimishe brands try to pass off as chocolate chips) can be found, why don’t you name some for us? And not super-expensive ones like Whole Food either.
GO DANIELLE FORER!!!!!!!!

Cheder is SO lucky to have you!!
I don’t wanna read one more thing about choc chips!!
btw these kids are adorable… Iets eat them instead!!
someone is selling them on ebay for $5.00 per bag (plus shipping)
I do not live in C”H. I am not sure what the big deal is of chocolate chips going Dairy. Yes, you can’t eat them anymore. But if you’ll really let such insignificant “{troubles” trouble you, you'[ll be PACKED with troubles. In numerous comments, people say how they'[re the beeest chocolate chips ever etc etc. but listen, your stuck with a problem, big deal! so you'[ll have to buy a different brand! No harm done, right? There is NO use crying over spilled milk and my suggestion is to simply: GET OVER IT!! ****personally, i think it'[s ridiculous to “{protest”… Read more »
and then you will see what the fuss is about….
Why is everyone overreacting over chocolate chips?
I just bought some tickets at ChederMenachemAuction.com
What a brilliant idea!
uhuhu
Please,, to all you ladies who bought like 100 bags of the chips, please consider donating them, or at least some of them, to a worthy cause that can do a raffle like Cheder Menachem is doing. Great idea! Turn this physical issue into a spiritual one! You will live without the choc chips, trust me, other chips will come along that taste just as good, trust me. In the meantime, quickly do this mitzvah while the hype is still high, donate your choc chips to your shul or the schools, and get them to raffle them off! Way to… Read more »
BH BH let this be our biggest worry!!!!
You wouldn’t be saying this if you’ve tasted Trader Joe’s chocolate chips. There’s nothing like them out there!
You “Obviously” didn’t go to Cheder Menachem. 🙂
Great School….Great idea!!!
did you ever taste trader joe’s chocolate chips aviously not
You can still get pareve choco chips from other supermarkets. Definitely Kosher ones! What’s the issue????? Why do we NEED Trader Joe’s??
this is hilarious!!! those kids are so cute, what great business minds!
Is this supposed to be a joke?
There are plenty of places to get Pareve chocolate chips. Go get a life.
whats the big deal about chocolate chips?
What a great idea! The LA sun boosts creativity!
