Kesher Talk

What would Passover be without ... sushi? I hate the stuff (though my wife loves it). But neither of us technically can touch it during Passover (which thankfully ends this evening).

Jerusalem's Brian Blum reflects on the problems of the kitniyot, the Passover regulations that make dietary life hell for Ashkenazi Jews like us.

Of course, his problems are multiplied, because officially certified kosher-for-Pesach products in Israel are full of the Ashkenazically-offensive kitniyot, because the majority of Israeli Jews are Sephardi, and can happily eat kitniyot - like the rice that encases sushi.
