leavened

Cakes are leavened, and the spirit of the holiday is to avoid leavened products.

When I was a lot sicker, I did my best to avoid yeast-leavened bread and to limit yeast-leavened foods.

That's occasionally been leavened by some consideration of whether the seller specifically targeted customers in the receiving country.

In Eastern Orthodox churches communion bread is leavened and it is prepared by hand often by laity [2].

In my view, that makes the Kosher for Passover cakes (which are effectively leavened) a loophole.

Jeff: They might be effectively leavened, but that's the whole point of a legal system, and of scholars to interpret it.

But for all intents and purposes, again in just my common-person's view, they're effectively leavened.

So given that they're different from year-round cakes, and given that they're not leavened anyway according to Jewish law, they're considered acceptable.

Whenever it comes to potential harm to people of far social distance, well practiced rationality leavened by empathy had better hold sway.

I'd be more receptive if you leavened the alarmism with links to some statistical references or economic projections.

I consider unleavened and alternatively leavened breads to be breads as well, but that's neither here nor there.

Or are you suggesting the Kosher for Passover cakes are not really leavened?

But somehow we had time to beat the egg-whites stiff?" For those that don't know, during Passover, the spirit of the law is that we don't eat leavened bread.

For example: Jews aren't allowed to eat leavened food, known as "chamets," (e.g., bread) on Passover.

If defining the correct way to vote as "downvote any negative comment not leavened by positivity - we need all the positive thinking we can get", then I would start voting correctly.

(The kosher-for-Passover "rolls" are even worse!) I don't see having such cakes as a loophole, or even contrary to the spirit of the holiday, because the spirit of the holiday is to avoid leavened and bread products.

Leavened bread is slightly more tricky, because you need to know how to knead.

Leavened bread arose (pun intended) around the same time as agriculture.
