  • Baffled by the Berachah: the Matzolah Mystery
    Baffled by the Berachah: The Matzolah Mystery By Rabbi Moishe Dovid Lebovits, Rabbinic Administrator, Recorder of KOF-K Policy (from Food For Thought, a publication of KOF-K Supervision, Pesach 2013 issue) Adapted with Permission of Rabbi Lebovits, March 2014. Entire article with Talmudic citations can be found at www.FoodmanNosh.com, Nosh News, and click link to article. ------------------------------- Last year Kof-K certified two products from Foodman, LLC, called Matzolah; Maple Nut and Whole Wheat Maple Nut. These products combine matzoh, nuts, coconut, raisins, vanilla, maple syrup, and evaporated cane juice, baked to a tasty crispiness. For all those who are hooked on their daily breakfast of crunchy granola, and yogurt toppings, this fills an important void. What berachah do we make on this creative concoction? Hamotzi? Mezonos? We first need to clarify the berachah for matzoh. “The berachah for matzoh?!” you may ask. “Everyone knows that we say ‘hamotzi.’” Not so simple! According to Rav Hai Gaon, matzoh falls into the category of pas haba b’kisnin (food which is not bread but in the bread family). Crackers and breadsticks fall into this category. Due to their appearance and texture they are not eaten as bread during a meal, and therefore, the berachah is mezonos. The reason the berachah for matzoh is hamotzi, according to Rav Hai Gaon, is because on Pesach it is considered a substitute for bread. Halachah related to bread which has been altered in status takes four factors into consideration in determining when it loses its status as bread for purposes of the berachah: size; appearance; mode of preparation; and intended use.

So, let me tell you about my new iPhone. I finally yielded to temptation, and got my iPhone last month. Let me tell you, it is way cooler than anything they had on Star Trek. As you may NQRZZLWKDVPDUWSKRQHOLNHWKHL3KRQH\RXGRQ·WXVHLWPXFKWRDFWXDOO\FDOOSHRSOH,QVWHDG\RX´WH[WµWKHP And as you type your text message in, the iPhone is so smart that it automatically offers to complete words for you on the basis of the first few letters you type. Now what I have discovered is that the iPhone seems to have a yiddishe neshama. As you type, its auto-completion system recognizes kvetching, chutzpah, nudnik, and schlemiel. Lest you think all smart phones are like this, I am told that such words are all Greek to a Blackberry. I am sure Steve Jobs shlepped lots of naches from his iPhone. Of course there is still room for improvement. The iPhone does not yet recognize shlep or naches (it suggests instead sheep and niches). All I can say to my iPhone is, ʩʨʨʠʷʱ ʳʩʥʸʠ ʸʩʮ ʬʠʸʨʹ (put that in your Google translator!). As the weather gets colder, we all like to huddle under the covers, and sometimes that early Saturday morning trip to shul can seem too formidable to attempt. Let me nevertheless encourage you come.
