Erev Pesach That Falls out on Shabbat: Difference between revisions

#Some Sephardim have the minhag to eat seuda shelishit with egg matzah<ref>Shulchan Aruch O.C. 444:1 writes that this is the solution that he recommends to eat for seuda shelishit. Radvaz 1:489 personally practiced this and held it was the best solution. He in fact says he only would eat a kezayit so that he'd be hungry to eat matzah that night.</ref> and recite mezonot.<Ref>Kaf Hachaim 444:11</ref> Ashkenazim generally do not have this minhag as they do not eat egg matzah for all of Pesach out of a concern that it is chametz.<ref>Rama 444:1</ref> However, others hold that it is permitted and even recommended to eat egg matzah for seuda shelishit.<ref>See Or Zaruah 2:256 s.v. lo yesev who implies that it is permitted to have egg matzah for seuda shelishit on Shabbat. Darkei Moshe Haaruch 444 cites the halacha in 471:2 and implies that it is only forbidden to eat egg matzah after the tenth hour and not after the fourth hour.</ref>

===Cooked Matzah===

===Deep Fried Matzah===

#Sephardim have the minhag to have seuda shelishit with deep fried matza.<ref>[https://www.torahanytime.com/#/lectures?v=144287 Rav Yitzchak Yosef (Motzei Shabbat Vayakel Pekudei 5781 min 52)] said that sephardim can have deep fried matza for seuda shlishit.</ref> Some are concerned that deep fried matzah is forbidden on Erev Pesach.<ref>Pri Megadim 471:8 has a doubt whether deep fried matzah is similar to cooked matzah and therefore it could be forbidden to eat on Erev Pesach. Therefore, Or Letzion 3:14:1 forbids eating deep fried matzah for seuda shelishit. However, Chazon Ovadia is not concerned for the Pri Megadim since the Shulchan Aruch Harav holds certainly deep frying is like cooking.</ref>
