[Avodah] re pas yisrael

[martin brody]

"BTW Rabbi Sperber in Minhagei Yisrael volume 2 page 136 understands this
minhag as derivative from a minhag in the yerushalmi to eat b'tahara during
that time period. Since pat akum was likely  to be mkabeil tuma it would be
avoided (supports my earlier feeling that we kept the form and missed the
substance)

Joel Rich"

Indeed. The Shelah wrote that to protect from tumah, some would only eat
pas made with fruit juice and not water. Not sure whether that was in
Europe where he spent most of his life or from the mysticism  of Israel.His
sefer was published after his death.
