Hence, one may eat <strong>\u1e25ametz<\/strong> on Erev Pesa\u1e25 until the end of the fourth seasonal hour (i.e., the first third of the day). There are, as is evident from Jewish calendars, two approaches to calculating these hours. According to <strong>Magen<\/strong> <strong>Avraham<\/strong>, we begin calculating them from dawn; according to the Vilna Gaon, from sunrise. Ideally, one should be stringent and calculate the onset of the prohibition according to <strong>Magen<\/strong> <strong>Avraham<\/strong>. However, when necessary, since the prohibition against eating <strong>\u1e25ametz<\/strong> after the fourth hour is rabbinic, one may be lenient and eat <strong>\u1e25ametz<\/strong> until the end of the fourth hour according to Gra\u2019s calculation (above, 3:6).<sup><a href='#_te01ftn13_8' id='_te01ftnref13_8' class='aup1'>[8]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n<p>After four hours, a problem arises for those who customarily refrain from eating <strong>kitniyot<\/strong> on Pesa\u1e25: What can one eat to satisfy his hunger? <strong>\u1e24ametz<\/strong> and <strong>kitniyot<\/strong> are forbidden, and even matza is rabbinically forbidden on the 14th of Nisan. We have seen that even matza meal-based cakes and cookies are subject to dispute among <strong>poskim<\/strong>. In practice, since this disagreement pertains to a rabbinic prohibition, one may be lenient, though stringency is commendable. According to all opinions, one may eat cooked matza balls.<\/p>\n<p>Egg matza (<strong>matza ashira<\/strong>, which includes matza kneaded with oil, wine, or any other fruit juice) may be eaten on Erev Pesa\u1e25 and Pesa\u1e25 according to Sephardic custom, but according to Ashkenazic custom it is forbidden (SA 462:1-4). Nowadays, serious concerns have arisen about the way <strong>matza ashira<\/strong> is produced, and according to most <strong>poskim<\/strong>, even Sephardic Jews must refrain from <strong>matza ashira<\/strong>, even on Erev Pesa\u1e25 after midday (above, 8:1).<\/p>\n<p>Even those whose custom is to eat <strong>matza ashira<\/strong> (when produced properly, without any problems) may eat it only until the end of the ninth seasonal hour of the day. With the onset of the tenth hour, three hours before the beginning of the holiday, the Sages forbid eating any sort of baked goods, so that one\u2019s appetite is whet for the matza and festive meal of the Seder. If one is hungry during these hours, he may eat fruit, vegetables, meat, or fish, as long as he is careful to eat a small amount so that he will be hungry in the evening. If one is so sensitive that if he eats meat or some other food in the afternoon he will not be hungry at night, he must plan his meals on Erev Pesa\u1e25 so that he has an appetite when he eats the matza that evening (SA 471:1-2).<\/p>\n<div>\n<hr size=\"1\" \/>\n<div>\n<a href='#_te01ftnref13_8' id='_te01ftn13_8'>[8]<\/a>.
