The \u1e25ametz<\/strong> that the Torah forbade is \u1e25ametz gamur <\/strong>(absolute \u1e25ametz<\/strong>), meaning that the leavening process has been completed, and the food has become edible. But if fermentation had begun but not concluded, and if the food is edible under pressing circumstances, then it is \u201c\u1e25ametz nuksheh.<\/strong>\u201d According to most poskim<\/strong>, \u1e25ametz nuksheh<\/strong> is not forbidden by the Torah, but the Sages prohibited it so that people would not err and come to eat or keep real \u1e25ametz<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

An example of \u1e25ametz nuksheh <\/strong>is the glue that scribes used to prepare from flour and water for gluing paper. Since its leavening process was never completed, and it is barely edible, it is \u1e25ametz nuksheh<\/strong>, and the Sages forbade eating it or keeping it on Pesa\u1e25 (MB 442:2). If its form was changed, as when the glue is used to stick papers together, then one is allowed to keep it. Others are more stringent and maintain that if the glue protrudes from between the pages, then it is considered as if it has maintained its same form, and it is forbidden to keep it on Pesa\u1e25 (SA and Rema 242:3).<\/p>\n

Similarly, dough that began to ferment to the point that its surface blanched, but the surface was not cracked as with true leavening, is \u1e25ametz<\/strong> nuksheh<\/strong>, and it is forbidden by rabbinic law to eat or keep it on Pesa\u1e25 (SA 459:2).[4]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

\n[4]<\/a>. The opinion of SA 447:12 is that \u1e25ametz<\/strong> nuksheh<\/strong> is only rabbinically forbidden, and therefore, \u1e25ametz<\/strong> nuksheh<\/strong> that existed over Pesa\u1e25 is not forbidden after Pesa\u1e25. This is also the opinion of SAH 442:20-21 and MB 442:2, based on the opinion of most Rishonim. However, several Rishonim maintain that \u1e25ametz<\/strong> nuksheh<\/strong> is forbidden by Torah law. There are two related issues: the prohibition of eating \u1e25ametz<\/strong> nuksheh<\/strong> and the prohibition of keeping \u1e25ametz<\/strong> nuksheh<\/strong> (see Berur Halakha <\/strong>on Pesa\u1e25im<\/strong> 48b regarding the issue of eating, and 42a regarding the issue of keeping it over Pesa\u1e25). According to Rabbeinu Tam and many other poskim<\/strong>, flour that is mixed with fruit juice and a little bit of water is also considered \u1e25ametz<\/strong> nuksheh<\/strong>.
