[Avodah] minhag avos

[saul newman via Avodah]

between gebroks and kitniyos,  with our modern eye could we say one is more
justified or were both products of the time.   eg  gebroks was invented in
altererebe's time as a reaction to the nexus of thick matzos with
incompetent bakers.  kitniyos a reaction to legume-flour nexus .

today , almost all matzos are either mechanized or learnedly baked;  and
only thin matzos made in ashkenazi land [unless you order softmatza.com].
and though  legume flours like  chickpea are extant, the communities that
primarily use them never accepted this new minhag.

it all then comes down to minhag avos , and who is empowered to cast them
off...
