Rabbi Aryeh Lebowitz

You could make the argument that it is a minag because it's a chumrah.

It's a chumrah that we're eating something that would never possibly have any flower pockets or anything like that.

So the greatest raya, I think, that the Sephardi matzahs are kosher is what does the word korech mean?

So we think korech means sandwich.

At least for korech.

I would think that it's best.

The other place where it comes in handy, the other reason why it's kedai to know this, that it's not chametz and it's not a problem for an Ashkenazi to eat these matzahs, is a lot of people have difficulty digesting matzah.

Elderly people.

So this might be an etzah.

I have an elderly gentleman who lives a couple of blocks away from me.

Last year he told me he wasn't going to be able to eat matzah.

So I said, did you think about Sephardi matzahs?

So he said, I don't even know what a Sephardi matzah is.

So I happen to have gotten from a Talmud because I wanted to try it for korech.

So I took them out of my freezer.

I didn't get to try it last year because I gave it all to this guy.

I said, here, try these.

And it came with instructions.

The thing is you have to be very careful because it gets very hard and gross unless you prepare it properly.

Because a matzah to cracker is a cracker.
