Theoretical Exploration of Kosher for Passover Matzoh

If one were to theoretically grind wheat berries into a flour and use it to cook matzoh, under what conditions would this flour be considered Kosher for Passover?

For a theoretical analysis:

The wheat itself must have contained no more than the allowed percentage of moisture during harvest and grinding. No additional moisture can be introduced during the grinding process. All surfaces, equipment, and utensils used must be completely dry and free from non-Kosher contamination.

Theoretically, under these conditions, the first batch of matzoh baked would be Kosher for Passover for personal consumption. However, for a second batch, it is crucial to remove all residual dough from previous batches to prevent cross-contamination.

Note, however, that since it is impossible to prove these conditions 100% reliably:

No observant Jew would consume this matzoh, either during Passover or any other time of the year.

A Biblical Perspective

As Leviticus Exodus 12:15-20 states, 'Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. Indeed on the first day you cause leaven to cease from your houses. For whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day that being shall be cut off from Yisra'el.' (Verses [15])

These instructions come directly from the One who established the Passover and the Feast of Matsah. The emphasis is on strict adherence to the guidelines to preserve the purity of the unleavened bread.

Kosher Practices and Biblical Guidance

Kosher practices are man-made and are totally and completely irrelevant to Yah. Trying to live by man's standards is futile and merits nothing.

This statement highlights the importance of following YHWH's commands as they are laid out in the Torah, rather than relying on human interpretations or rules.

The Bible emphasizes the importance of unleavened bread during the Passover celebration. According to Exodus 12:20 (TS2009):

For seven days no leaven is to be found in your houses, for if anyone eats what is leavened that same being shall be cut off from the congregation of Yisra'el, whether sojourner or native of the land. (Verse [19])

This verse underscores the mother’s role in ensuring strict adherence to the Law. The practice of not consuming leavened bread is a fundamental part of the Passover celebration and is something that should be maintained through observance.

Another key verse, Exodus 12:18 (TS2009), further solidifies the importance of this practice:

In the first month on the fourteenth day of the new moon in the evening you shall eat unleavened bread until the twenty-first day of the new moon in the evening. (Verse [18])

The repetitive nature of these commands reinforces the permanence of the practice. The unleavened bread is not a mere ritual but a significant symbol of freedom and deliverance from slavery.

Ultimately, the focus should be on maintaining the purity and spiritual meaning of the observance rather than adhering to man-made rules.
