He was a prominent American Orthodox rabbi. He was a widely consulted authority on the laws of Passover kashrut and published an annual Passover guide, The Laws of Pesach, a publication relied on by observant Jews throughout to maintain high standards of kashrut observance during Passover. Rabbi Blumenkrantz updated the guide annually, to reflect changes in the food industry: new products, new ingredients, changes in food preparation methods, etc. The guide began as an unpublished newsletter that Rabbi Blumenkrantz began to privately distribute in the 1970s. As the circulation of the newsletter spread, and more and more people consulted Rabbi Blumenkrantz on complicated questions of Passover observance, he expanded the coverage of his newsletter, until it became book-length and started taking several months to put together.
