Talk:Bread

From Halachipedia
  • The Dirshu 168:47 quotes the Aruch Hashulchan as holding that matzah brei is mezonot unlike the safek that most poskim hold it is. However, from the context and Mishna Brurah 168:59 it seems clear that the Aruch Hashulchan is discussing something other than matzah brei. He is discussing something that is deep fried as the Mishna Brurah writes about the very same foods or matzah which is crushed up so that it isn't recognizable as the Aruch Hashulchan's words imply or both.
  • Additionally, the Dirshu's quote of Shevet Halevi 7:27:4 is irrelevant. The Shevet Halevi first just quotes the Maharshach that says that crushed up matzah which was fried is mezonot but it is very likely that he is either talking about deep frying or where the matzah isn't recognizable. Regarding the last point that the Shevet Halevi makes, that perhaps it is mezonot since there are some opinions that it is mezonot all year round, is only a suggestion but the Shevet Halevi clearly writes that he is afraid to actually hold like that suggestion.--YitzchakSultan (talk) 12:21, 18 July 2017 (EDT)
