Talk:Chametz

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If someone can format the refferences better or add Hebrew, go for it. Thanks! Avraham 03:45, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

I think this article needs expanding. There is much to be said about the removal of chametz, mixtures, edibility, chametz she'avar alav haPesach, matzah, and so on. There is also deep symbolism that should be addressed. The fact that the punishment is karet shows that this mitzvah has fundamental meaning, and in my opinion it deserves better coverage on Wikipedia. There are also plenty of external links that could be added. If only I had more time on my hands... Rafi Neal 04:40, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

A comment concerning Kosher for Passover dog food would drive home the point of ownership and benefit even more, especially in the context that the meat may be tref but the chametz is still forbidden. Ghaller 16:24, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Except that no dog food is mainly chametz; in those dog foods which contain grain it's a minor ingredient, so it's merely taarovet chametz, and since it's not food for normal people one is allowed to own and benefit from it. So dog food is not a good example at all. Zsero 23:50, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
