The prohibition of Kitnoyot on Passover
Published 6 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
The Torah prohibits us from eating or even owning Chametz, leavened grain products on Passover. However Ashkenazic Jews are careful not to eat any beans or legumes on the holiday. How did this custom begin? What is the reason for it? Why do many Saphardic Jews not keep it?
A discussion about the laws of Passover and the development of the Kitniyot prohibition.
