The Torah law concerning a \u1e25ametz<\/strong> mixture is complicated, subject to dispute among Tanna\u2019im, Amora\u2019im, Rishonim, and A\u1e25aronim. We shall summarize its laws here succinctly.<\/p>\n

The Torah declares that one who eats a kezayit<\/strong> of \u1e25ametz<\/strong> on Pesa\u1e25 incurs karet<\/strong>. If \u1e25ametz<\/strong> that was mixed with other foods such that there was a kezayit<\/strong> of \u1e25ametz<\/strong> within a shi\u2019ur akhilat pras<\/strong> (three or four eggs\u2019 bulk), and one ate a shi\u2019ur pras <\/strong>of the mixture, then according to Ramban and other Rishonim, he incurs karet<\/strong>, while Rif and Rambam maintain that his punishment is only malkot <\/strong>(lashes). (According to Rabbeinu Tam, even if he ate only a kezayit<\/strong> of the mixture, he incurs punishment from the Torah, as cited by Rosh, \u1e24ullin<\/strong> 7:31.)<\/p>\n

If the mixture does not contain a kezayit<\/strong> of \u1e25ametz<\/strong> within a shi\u2019ur akhilat pras<\/strong>, and one ate a quantity of the mixture that has a kezayit<\/strong> of \u1e25ametz<\/strong>: according to Ha-ma\u2019or<\/strong> and Itur<\/strong>, he incurs malkot<\/strong>, but according to Tur<\/strong>, whether he ate a lot of the mixture or just a little, if the mixture has the taste of \u1e25ametz<\/strong>, he has violated a Torah prohibition, but he does not incur lashes; according to Rambam, he has violated only a rabbinic prohibition. (According to Rambam and SA 453:2, in a mixture of wheat and rice, if the taste of the \u1e25ametz<\/strong> is discernible, eating only a kezayit<\/strong> constitutes a violation of a Torah prohibition.)<\/p>\n

If \u1e25ametz<\/strong> was mixed with food of the same type \u2013 for example, leavened flour with unleavened flour \u2013 since they taste the same, the \u1e25ametz<\/strong> flour is nullified by the majority (batel be-rov<\/strong>) at the Torah level, but it is still rabbinically prohibited (SA 447:1).<\/p>\n

Regarding the prohibition against keeping \u1e25ametz<\/strong> on Pesa\u1e25, if a kezayit<\/strong> of \u1e25ametz<\/strong> becomes mixed with other food, as long as it is less than sixty times the quantity of the \u1e25ametz<\/strong>, one violates bal yera\u2019eh <\/strong>and bal yimatzei<\/strong>. If the mixture is more than sixty times the quantity of the \u1e25ametz<\/strong>, the \u1e25ametz<\/strong> is batel <\/strong>at the Torah level and no prohibition is violated. Likewise, if the \u1e25ametz<\/strong> becomes mixed with its own kind \u2013 for example, leavened flour with unleavened flour \u2013 that has the same taste, if there is more kosher flour than \u1e25ametz <\/strong>flour, then according to Torah law the \u1e25ametz<\/strong> is batel<\/strong> and no prohibition is violated. Nevertheless, even though no Torah prohibition is violated in these scenarios, the Sages ordained that the mixture must be eliminated, lest one eat it on Pesa\u1e25.[6]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n[6]<\/a>. If one did not eliminate it, since he did not violate bal yera\u2019eh <\/strong>and bal yimatzei<\/strong> he may benefit from it after Pesa\u1e25. As for eating it after Pesa\u1e25, Eliya Rabba<\/strong> claims that since he violated a rabbinic prohibition by keeping it over Pesa\u1e25, he may not eat it, although according to MA, he may eat it (MB 447:102).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
