gebrochts - mixing matza with liquid
matir nadir - nullifying a promise
keilim - lit. vessels used to refer to dishes, pots

Gebrotks (sp?) is basically anything derived from matzo, other than plain matzo itself.

Most Jews follow the opinion that once flour has been made into matzo, it's fine to crumble it up, wet it and cook/bake it into whatever (ie. matzo meal cakes).

However, a stricter view followed by groups like Lubavitch is that flour can ONLY be eaten as plain matzo, because there is a chance of the moisture causing the matzo product to become chametz (ie. leavened stuff forbidden on Passover).

When I was younger, everything kosher for Passover seemed to be based on matzo meal. Now, I'm seeing far more stuff made with potato starch, which doesn't have the grebrotks issue.

Keilim means vessels - pots and dishes.

My parents don't want to be matir nedr though. (Actually my father was Matir Neder in EY, when he was in Yeshiva, and the only place that had a second seder, was gebrucs. After Yeshiva he went back to his minhag, but on T'nai(on condition), that if needed he would still eat gebructs) My mother on the other hand cannot actually bring herself to this state of mind, My father actually adopted a ton of my mothers peasach chumras! LOL.

I would think thats pretty normal as the wife runs the kitchen. My husband for sure has taken on mine just because its what I serve him.

well, I have taken over all my husbands minhagim. As there was no way he was willingly going to live on potates, meat, and Falche (fake) fish, when he could have knaidels, string beans, matzah farfel, and beans in his cholent! LOL


(He also put his foot down against chicken cutlets breaded in Potato starch and nuts!)

That's the way I grew up- that we take on our husbands' minhagim.

Me too, except my husband isn't entirely sure what his minhagim are. I mean, he knows he doesn't eat gebrochts :( but otherwise, he's not quite sure what his chumras are. So far it hasn't been an issue, as we've spent Pesach with my parents, but eventually he's going to have to figure it out.

This year we're not having guests the first seder. The second seder we'll iy"h have a family who've been coming to us since they arrived in America about 15 years ago. It'll be a difficult first seder without my father, who was really always the center of the seder. No one's really looking forward. The second seder should be easier.

I joke that one of the big reasons I married dh was to take on his minhagim (religious customs), since Iraqis eat kitniyot (esp. rice) on Pesach!

I make the Seders without kitniyot, because we have Ashkenazi guests like my family, but otherwise we love our rice, tofu, beans and chick peas! We were largely vegetarian when we got married, and the thought of living on potatoes for a week was not appealing.
