Can't let your matzah get wet or it will become unkosher. Like the gremlins past midnight

[magnetothemagnificent]

Yes, I am aware that it is normal, however, there are some Jews that do not do it. It's called Gebrochts, it's an actual custom some Jews have. My family does not have matzah brei on Pesach because that would be wetting the matzah. Matzah brei is not essential for Pesach.

do you eat kitniyot on pesach?

I wish!

Because my parents are Baalei Tshuvah, they really just followed the traditions of the various Rabbis and families that took them in. And because my family is Chabad, there's no kitniyot.

My parents were utterly heartbroken when they found out that I don't peel my fruit and vegetables for Pesach, they don't even know that I wet my matzah, so honestly I don't think I'm ready to tackle kitniyot haha (although it would make my life as a vegetarian on Pesach sooo much easier).

Kosher Food Recipes in Dubai - How to Make a Mean Matzo Ball Soup

It is believed that the Matzo Ball soup is the Holy Grail of kosher food in Dubai- אוכל כשר בדובאי. This soup, also known as the Matzo Ball, or knaidel or kneidlach, has been in use for centuries. It all started with Moses taking people of the Jews to the desert. A boy, who was wandering with a handful of matzo in his hands, discovered a hot spring. He realized that simply dipping the matzo in water was not going to be very beneficial therefore he broke the matzo with his hands and then shaped it into an oval. He managed to join it, maybe he was carrying chickens with him at the moment, perhaps through divine help and after attempting his creation, he came across an excellent alternative to eating matzo that was flat. The practice developed into the matzo ball soup we are familiar with and love to this day. (Maybe). Everybody knows what matzo ball soup is, it's a child-friendly Kosher food, and people who are not Jewish often like it. However, there are numerous distinct characteristics that differentiate the best matzo ball soups from the bad. If you're looking to wow your friends this Passover or, even if you're trying to alter the pace on Sabbath, make sure you follow these steps.

1. In order to really enjoy the fresh taste, it is necessary to prepare the chicken. Clean a turkey neck that is cut into pieces. Add 1 pound of wings of chicken. Put them into the large soup pot and then fill it up with water till the chicken is completely submerged at the bottom, with two inches of water to the top.

2. Bring to a simmering boil. Scrape off any froth that has accumulated on the surface of the.

3. The next step is to add the vegetables. Choose 3-4 carrots, three zucchinis, three celery sticks, two small onions, 2 small parsley roots, and an optional pumpkin (which is a must, because pumpkin is exceptionally healthy for your family and you) along with fresh parsley, and some spices and poultry soup mix. Bring the vegetables to the point of boiling.

4. Reduce the heat until it is at a simmer. Allow it to simmer for 2 hours and then let the steam out. If the level of waterfalls below the vegetables, simply add more.

5. In this time you are able to prepare matzo balls, which are considered holy. You will need 4 egg whites. 4 teaspoons. of water, 4 tsp. of oil, 1 teaspoon. salt of oil, of salt, tsp. pepper, 1 cup matzo meal, optional 2 tsp. chopped parsley. In a separate bowl, you can take the yolks of eggs, and then beat them up with some water.

6. Mix the ingredients from each bowl until they form a soft dough. Keep it covered and chilled for at least one hour.

7. Strain the soup once two hours have gone.

8. Bring the soup you have strained to the point of boiling. Then, take the chilled matzo ball dough and stir it around. Wet your hands and begin rolling small matzo balls. Keep in mind matzo balls expand by about a third of their size before they are cooked, therefore, make your decision in accordance with the size of the matzo balls. Include them in the soup, and ensure they are floating because you don't want them sticking at the top.

9. Cover the pot and allow it to simmer, including the vegetables that have been strained, for about an hour.

It's that simple! If you follow this dish, you'll certainly be able to impress anyone in the audience, Jew or Gentile. Keep in mind this: Hasidic Jews follow gebrocht kosher Kashrut and are not a fan of matzo meal in water thus another option is using potato starch.

barren-and-trivial-words

this year for pesach challenge yourself to not eat gebrochts

i just spent what felt like an hour researching the one person in my family tree i believe to be Jewish (given ancestry test results said someone was, lmao) in order to prove that even if he was ashekenazi he wasn’t hasidic or in the realm of hasidic minhag because he was from the balkans 

just to justify me eating gebrochts

Gonna get a little personal here, but....

I grew up Chabad. I realized that I wasn't straight when I was 13, and my parents found out and forbid me from talking to my friends. For a whole year I was cut off from the friends I had made who had helped me come to terms with my identity. Some of these friends I've never spoken to again, because I didn't have their numbers memorized and it's been so long.

But that was years ago.

My parents have come around for the most part. I'm now in my twenties. I currently identify as a transgender man and bisexual. I wear tzizit and a Kippah, and I'm observant. These two aren't in conflict for me. I keep strict kosher and Shabbat (although I've eaten a non-Chalav Yisrael chocolate and I hated it, American chocolate is disgusting, and I eat gebrochts on Pesach). I'm one of the only "frum" students at my university, and I'm also the president of the LGBTQ organization there. In April, Im Yirtze Hashem I'm going to my first doctor's appointment that'll screen me for and medical issues before I start taking testosterone.

Last Summer, I had the privilege of attending NYC Pride with the LGBTQ Jewish organizations that were part of the parade. We called it Jew York Pride. I made so many new friends who were queer and frum just like me. People who live in the heart of Crown Heights, who go to Yeshiva and seminary, who are gay and bisexual and lesbian and trans and nonbinary and asexual. I had no idea there were so many LGBTQ people within Chabad. Some still identify as Chabad, others don't, but lots are still observant.

There are Orthodox communities that are accepting. On Chanukah I visited a shul that was Orthodox and LGBTQ accepting. We made menorahs while Chaddische music played and there were all kinds of people there. Unfortunately the shul is too far from where I currently live to be walking distance, but hopefully I'll move closer in the next few years.

It's hard. It's not easy. But it's possible, and you have a community of people just like you all around the world.

There are organizations and support groups that specifically cater to Orthodox and observant LGBTQ Jews (this isn't a thorough list of all LGBTQ Jewish organizations, just a few I selected that are specifically for LGBTQ observant Jews):

North America:

Eshel

JQY

Kesher Families

Israel:

Havruta

Shoval

Online Support Network:

LGBTQ Chabad

This is just a very basic list, and if you're not from North America or Israel there are other organizations around the world, these are just a few I selected.

If you ever want to talk to me, please don't hesitate to reach out. You are not alone- you are among so so many people like you.

It’s odd. I grew up chabad but i’m gay. I don’t know what to do as i’m only 15, i’ve always been supportive of lgbtq but now i’m stuck (for the past 4 years) I want to keep judaism as much as possible but chabad or other orthodox movements aren’t accepting and i’m worried where i’ll find a community or if i’ll stay observant…i’m also kinda resentful of gender roles being pushed upon me ss i was always kind of feminine

There are orthodox communities who are more open than most people would think. Modern orthodox or open orthodox are for sure more accepting, and certainly in Israel. Chabad I'm not so sure, it really depends on the chabad couple. But there ARE orthodox communities who are more accepting. The good news is that even if it takes you some time to find a community you feel that you fit in, being gay does not prevent you from being observant or fulfilling any mitzvot. You can do everything anyone else does, even fulfilling the mitzvah of having children (adoption counts, and it's a man's mitzvah to fulfill, IF that's something you would want to do) and you have no obligation to enact gender roles in your home. That's a personal choice. So you don't have to choose between being gay or being observant.

There are also support networks of gay frum/orthodox Jews. Multiple actually, at least in the New York and LA area (though I'm sure any orthodox community would have one). They do shabbat meals and torah study together. Here is a link to an article about them.

You are not alone. For all of history there have been gay orthodox jews, whether they were open about it or not. People are becoming more accepting every day. Never for a second do I want you to feel ashamed or like you're defective or that anything is wrong with you just because your community isn't open. I'm also in a chabad community and attracted to women, though this doesn't get brought up or addressed in conversation much except by friends I trust, so I haven't faced any sort of discrimination in my community.

If you want to keep in touch, feel free to message me privately.

Passover Gnocchi

2 eggs

1 TBs oil

¼ cup chicken stock

1/2 cup passover cake meal

¼ cup potato starch

1/2 cup mashed potatoes

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp sugar

½ tsp baking powder

Mix the wet stuff until blended smooth. Add the dry ingredients together, then add to the wet and mix until smooth, adding extra soup or water if needed to get to pudding-like consistency.

Let sit 15 minutes, then check to see how firm it is—add more liquid/potatoes if necessary.

If the batter is thin like pancake batter, you will get long thin squiggles of spaetzl (like funnel cake strands). If the batter is thick like pudding, you get gnocchi-like little dumplings. If it is thick like hummus, you get something close to matzo balls.

Scoop up a spoonful and drop into lightly salted boiling water. Simmer three minutes and remove from water with slotted spoon. Taste test and adjust batter if needed (salt? Sugar? Too thick? Too thin?)

When you have it the way you like it, drop spoonfuls into the water and simmer until they all float (about three minutes). Do not crowd the pot. Remove from the water with slotted spoon and then do the next batch.

Set the first batch into a pot of warm sauce while doing the second and third batches.

Tomato sauce is fine, but brisket gravy also works, or just a whole lot of sauteed mushrooms & onions & wine.

A milchig version could easily be done with water or milk instead of the chicken soup, and could go with marinara, or plain butter, or cheese, or pesto, or alfredo sauce—basically anything that would be good on pasta. Anything that would be good on pirogies would also work: try sauteed onions and sour cream with black pepper.

Rating: almost wouldn't know it's kosher l'pesach. A year after year family favorite for this holiday especially with the kids. Fluffy and light in the mouth, but sits a little heavy in the stomach: filling, and a few dumplings are a meal.

Not gebrocht and no kitnyiot, just to screw with them

I’d really like to see a “cooking for passover” challenge on some show like masterchef or great british bake off like can you imagine the frustration of contestants as they go over the rules and discover that not only are they not allowed to use pork or make chicken with butter and use separate pans for everything meat and dairy but they can’t even use ANYTHING WITH WHEAT

Passover Ambrosia

Loosely adapted from https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/ambrosia-recipe-1950306

Basically left out the maraschino cherries,and added diced apricots instead.

Review: recipe tastes exactly as original, accept for cherries I never really liked anyway. Delicious. Fresh pineapple way better than canned.
