[Avodah] hilchot pesach

[Eli Turkel]

I recently went to a shiur of R. Avraham Yosef on Pesach. Some of his
points were

1. No problem cooking kitrniyot on the 7th day for the shabbat after Pesach
(for Ashkenazimn - obviously only in EY)
    Theoretically it also applies to real chametz - the only problem being
a technical one of getting the chametz since the rabbi buys back the
chametz only motzei shabbat

2. Soft matzot are preferable to our regular matzot when one is sure the
hasgacha. From the Ramah giving a maximum of 1 tefach it seems that they
had soft matzot in his days. The advantage of soft matzot is that it easier
to eat a kezayit in achilat peras, especially for those who eat 2 kezeytim.

3. Hasgachot on products like ammonia etc are stealing from the public and
giving a bad name to a hechsher

4. Someone who eats matzah on erev Pesach is compared to "bo-el arusah
be-vet chamiv".  This rather stranger comparison is based on the permission
to be with ones wife only after 7 berachot. On seder night there are 7
berachot before eating matzah (works only according to thise that dont say
a beracha on the second cip of wine - otherwise there are 8).

5, As is well known sefardim completely ignore shiurim of CI and rely only
on minhag yerushalaim as given by R. Chaim Naeh.
