Chametz shrine
March 29, 2010
Shrine of *Chametz in the foyer belies the seat-of-the-pants factor of Pesach-ultra-lite. This is me nullifying my chametz.
And here’s another question for tonight: What kind of gawd would ask us to throw out locally grown soft whole wheat flour from the ancient fields of Osdorp?
Happy Passover, y’all.
- * – Chametz (also Chometz, Chumetz) refers to bread, grains and leavened products that are not consumed on the Jewish holiday of Passover, as well as all food items that are not specifically marked “kosher for Passover.” According to Jewish law, Jews may not own, eat or benefit from chametz during Passover. This law appears several times in the Bible. The punishment for eating chametz on Passover is karet (“spiritual excision”), one of the highest levels of punishment in Jewish tradition.
Chametz is a product that is (a) made from one of five types of grains, and (b) has been combined with water and left to stand for longer than eighteen minutes without being baked.
… The Talmudic enumeration (which has become the traditional list of those grains) is:
Wheat, Barleym Spelt, Rye, Oats.

It’s very interesting to me that the 5 grains are the glutinous grains that so badly affect celiac sufferers (if “oats” is actually an ancient wild spelt.) Makes me wonder how much more our ancestors knew about digestive disorders and the foods that affect them.

Interesting observation, but mtazah is also made from wheat.
But then matzah is called the bread of affliction…
hmm.

Hey there! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site? I’m getting sick and tired of WordPress because I’ve had problems with hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

Today, I went to the beach with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!
