TORTILLAS DECLARED KOSHER FOR PASSOVER;
CREATES DILEMMA FOR JEWS.
Minneapolis- Local Rabbi's announced today that they were in agreement over a new set of foods that can be labeled as kosher for passover. Tortillas have now been declared kosher for passover, the Jewish holiday that falls this week. " Besides matzah, there are not many other options in terms of foods that can be eaten during passover" says a MN Rabbi. He went on to talk about the introduction of ethnic foods into passover " in the past, we have never had a mexican food item that is kosher for passover. This is really exciting!"
A member of Temple Israel who wished to remain anonymous felt just the opposite. " I think this was a horrible idea. Chinese food has always been our go to cuisine, but now we are forced to choose between mexican and chinese. It's going to be a stressful transition." The MN council of Rabbi's agreed unanimously on this decision over a lunch of peanut butter and jelly matzah sandwiches. They said they were all sick of relying on the bland, tasteless cracker to get them through the holiday.
Does this introduction mean we might start seeing quesadillas on the seder plate? Guess we will have to wait and see!
