PASSOVER TERMS
MATZAH
Matzah is made of specially
supervised flour and water,
which must be baked before
the dough has had time to rise
— within 18 minutes or less. It is
the only product based on the
five grains (wheat, barley, oat,
spelt & rye) which Jews may eat
during Passover, and it must be
made specifically for Passover use,
under rabbinical supervision.
Eating matzah on Passover
commemorates the unleavened
bread eaten by the Jews when
they left Egypt in such haste that
there was no time for the dough
to rise. Shmurah matzah involves
additional steps of supervision
and is recommended for use at
the Seder.
GEBROKTS
Not eating gebrokts (Yiddish,
meaning matzah that has
become “wet”) is a custom by
which some Ashkenazim will
avoid putting matzah (or any
derivative, such as matzah
meal) into any liquid to prevent
the possibility that improperly
mixed dough, that might have
any stray flour that was never
exposed to water (and therefore
still susceptible to leavening),
would subsequently become
chametz when finally exposed
to liquid.
THE SEDER
The Seder is a symbolic
reenactment of the Exodus, with
a compelling message for young
and old alike. The Seder details
the journey of the exodus from
Egypt by Jewish slaves following
a traditional order of blessings,
eating symbolic foods, narratives,
commentaries and song.
BRIEF GUIDE TO
THE SEDER
There are two Torah obligations and
five rabbinical obligations performed
during the Seder.
TORAH MITZVOT:
1 Relating the story of the Exodus
(Maggid—reading from
zzthe Haggadah)
2 Eating matzah
RABBINICAL MITZVOT:
1 Drinking four cups of wine
(arbah kosot)
2 Eating bitter herbs (maror)
3 Reciting Psalms of praise (Hallel)
4 Eating the afikomen (an extra piece
of matzah for dessert as a reminder
of the Passover offering)
5 Demonstrating acts of freedom
(such as sitting with a pillow cushion,
and leaning to the left as we eat
matzah and drink wine)

HAGALAH (BOILING)
Utensils that were used to cook non-kosher liquid can be kashered with hagalah (boiling
in water). To prepare the utensil for hagalah, the utensil must be thoroughly cleaned. Only
utensils that can be scrubbed clean should be kashered. Items that have narrow cracks,
crevices, deep scratches or other areas that cannot be cleaned, cannot be kashered
for Passover. The following, for example, cannot be kashered for Passover: pots with
rolled lips, bottles with narrow necks, filters, colanders, knives (or other utensils) where food can get trapped
between the blade and handle. After cleaning, the utensils should then be left idle for 24 hours. To kasher,
every part of the utensil must make contact with boiling water. This process can be done in parts. For example,
a large spoon can be immersed into a pot of boiling water for 10 seconds, turned over and then the remainder
immersed. When the utensil is removed from the boiling water, it should be rinsed off in cold water. While
strictly speaking these utensils may be kashered in a clean non-Passover pot that was not used for 24 hours,
the minhag, however, is to kasher the pot first, by boiling water in the pot and discarding.
NOT EVERY MATERIAL CAN BE KASHERED. Ceramic, such as china, and enamel coated pots cannot be
kashered. It is the custom of Ashkenazim not to kasher glass as well. Some poskim do not permit kashering
plastic or other synthetic materials for Passover; however, the opinion of the OU rabbanim is that it may be
kashered, if there is a need. Ask your rabbi for guidance. Composite stone (e.g. quartz counters) which is
made mostly of stone, but is held together with resin, can be kashered. As a rule, materials such as metal,
wood, stone, natural rubber and fabric can be kashered.

REFLECTIONS ON THE SEDER
The Seder
RABBI MENACHEM GENACK
The Seder and the age-old rituals of Passover seem to have the ability
to capture our imagination as no other events in the Jewish calendar.
And yet Passover’s enduring popularity is an odd phenomenon. Of all
the festivals, Passover’s stringencies are the most detailed. Even the
Seder itself is fundamentally a rigidly structured and formalized
ritual. Ironically, the holiday that celebrates our freedom is the
most restrictive.
What is there in the human psyche that attracts it to a holiday
whose proper observance is the subject of volumes? What
charm is there in a meal that requires an instruction guide
for its proper execution? Passover celebrates freedom, but
it is the type of freedom that resonates with a feeling that
lies deep in the human soul. Deep down inside each of us
is the God-given realization that freedom without structure
is anarchy, freedom without responsibility leads to chaos.
Passover celebrates freedom, but in the context of being
faithful to tradition. We receive satisfaction and fulfillment
out of following the rules, of complying with the ritual. And
our satisfaction is enhanced by the awareness that we follow
the same rules that our people has followed for generations,
centuries and millennia. In the faithful observance of
Passover, we exercise our freedom to be links in the chain of
Jewish tradition. The chain we choose is not a fetter of captivity
but a great chain that unites the past and present and extends
into the eternal future. This is our tradition, our mesorah.

We take the middle matzah (representative of Yitzchak Avinu) and split it in two.

The middle matzah symbolizes Yitzchak, and we split it in two, to symbolize
the arrangement between Yitzchak and our Creator to share the burden of
the Jewish People’s sins—enabling HaShem’s forgiveness.

connection?
The Netziv, in his commentary to Vayikra, explains the uniqueness of the Korban Todah (thanksgiving offering). Unlike other Shelamim
(peace) offerings, which may be eaten for two days and the night in between, a Todah may only be eaten for one day! Additionally, it is to be
accompanied by 40 loaves of bread. Why the shorter time span with so much more to consume?
The Netziv answers: so that the individual who brings a thanksgiving offering should invite others and relate to them the great kindness that
God has performed for him. The inclusion of others will amplify the feelings of joy and gratitude for HaShem’s benevolence.
Similarly, on Passover we invite others to join immediately prior to the recital recounting the miracles that God performed for us, so we can
laud Him in unison for his abundant kindness.

Ever since that red-letter day in 1923, when the first OU symbol appeared on that historic can of
Heinz beans, the Rabbis of OU Kosher have faced a formidable task: explaining kosher to kosher-
certified companies. While this might sound strange at first, it is really to be expected. Companies become
kosher-certified because they recognize that displaying the OU symbol on their labels will open up a vast
new market of smart, savvy and passionate consumers. However, they often embark on certification with little to no
background, knowledge or understanding of what kosher is or means. Relating to the whole concept of kosher, and
learning the OU system of certification, is totally new to them. And, since effective kosher certification involves the
cooperation and acquiescence of the certified company, effectively explaining kosher is a prerequisite, not an option.

PRODUCTS: Rabbincal authorities disagree as to whether kosher certification of these items is required (both for
Passover and year-round). Consult your Rabbi. Please see product pages in the Passover Guide for OU certified toothpaste.
2. Known and tested medications in the form of creams, non-chewable pills and injections may be owned, used and
consumed on Passover, even if they contain chametz or kitniyot, since they are inedible. This covers most medicines used by
adults. However, if an equally effective chametz-free alternative is available or procurable, this should be used instead.
A. It is permissible to grind pills and mix the powder into food items so that a child can take medicine on Passover.
However, a doctor must be consulted to make sure that the child is getting the correct dosage and that the potency of
the pill is not compromised by altering its consistency.
3. Liquid medicines, chewable pills and pills coated with a flavored glaze are considered palatable and may contain
chametz. Also gelcaps may present a problem because they may contain non-kosher edible gelatin. Therefore:
A. If possible, they should be replaced, under the direction of a doctor, with a non-chewable, uncoated pill.
B. If substitution is not possible and the person is in a state of sakana or safek sakana (any possible danger to human
life), the medication may be owned and consumed. The same applies if the condition is not yet a safek sakana but may
deteriorate to that point. A rabbi should be consulted as to whether it is preferable to purchase the medicine before or
during Passover, and as to how to dispose of the medicine once the danger passes.
C. If substitution is not possible and a doctor determines that there is no possibility of sakana if the person does not
take the medicine, a rabbi should be consulted. He may be able to determine that the medicine does not contain
chametz and/or kitniyot, or he may decide that the medicine may be consumed due to the seriousness of the
patient’s condition.
4. Unless an equivalent alternative is available, medicinal items which contain kitniyot are permitted for people who are ill.
Questions on this issue should be directed to your rabbi.
5. These guidelines do not address the more general prohibition of consuming medicines on Shabbat and yom tov.
