Neighborhood #chametz burning. Happy #Passover everyone!

Last two days for enjoying #chametz! My shul made it possible to sell ours this year through #MishkanChicago. My chickens still get to eat! 🤣

Yeah, that is avocado toast on challah — WITH cheese. I caved the other day. 🙄 My mom gave me a block of beer cheddar and I fell off the cheeseless wagon. I’ll go cold turkey off dairy again after #Pesach. Cream cheese on #matzoh is kinda a staple for me to survive the week.

These #Brewdog NA beers are tasty, though!

One of the reasons christian literalist ways of interpreting Jewish texts is often asinine is that paleo and biblical era Hebrew did not have vowels. It had root consonants, and the interpretation of a word depended on context, not text. And each set of consonant roots has a WIDE range of interpretations.

Take the word chametz - one interpretation is leaven (yeast), but the root itself means puffed up or inflated, as well as harsh, vinegar, oppressive, and distasteful, and so on. Each root has a full circle of meanings depending on the vowels and tense *you* choose to insert, as well as the topic of the surrounding text - each root of those words also having a wide range of meanings. And those vowel insertions are man-made, not scripture. Not "god's word."

Men's interpretations.

Literalists cherry pick what interpretation they want, and insist that is "THE" meaning, when it is no such thing.

Asking this question in preparation for an upcoming episode of the @JewishAlmanac podcast-

What kind/level of observance you plan to do with regards to #Pesach and food?

1. Do you eat #matzo?

2. Do you avoid #chametz?

3. Do you avoid #kitniyot?

4. Do you have any special dishes that you enjoy during #Passover?

5. Do you have any other practices that you want to share, especially as to how you make the 7 (or 8) day festival special past the first two nights?
