<div dir="ltr">I recently went to a shiur of R. Avraham Yosef on Pesach. Some of his points were<div><br></div><div>1. No problem cooking kitrniyot on the 7th day for the shabbat after Pesach (for Ashkenazimn - obviously only in EY)</div>
<div> 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</div><div><br></div><div>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.</div>
<div><br></div><div>3. Hasgachot on products like ammonia etc are stealing from the public and giving a bad name to a hechsher</div><div><br></div><div>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).</div>
<div><br></div><div>5, As is well known sefardim completely ignore shiurim of CI and rely only on minhag yerushalaim as given by R. Chaim Naeh.<br clear="all"><div><br></div>-- <br><div dir="ltr"><font color="#000099" face="'comic sans ms', sans-serif">Eli Turkel</font></div>
