ASK THE RABBI
i(Continued from Page 6)^
: the place at which tlie Paschal meal had been eaten; By. not eating ' anything ,else after the Paschal Iamb (In' .post-Tempie times, the :matzo),' a characteristic^:
iPassover taste would remain and
rlinger in one's mouth (see Shulchan Aruch, 0;H; 478:1 and
^Mishna Beru^ for the details of the law). " •
The Jerusalem Talmud (Pes. 37d) also discusses the meaning of afilcomen and make^ the adr ditional suggestions ot minei-^ zemer—"types of music" or, according to some, "various dessert fruits" (Jastrow's Dictionary, p. 405).
Why is the < law concerning afikomen expounded to the Wise Son?
Some say that it is because it takes a Wise SoVi to understand a somewhat complicated'law such as this. Others stress that tills is a rabbinic enactment which would show the Wise Son that not only the Written Law but also the Oral Law is binding. According io another view; the fact .tliat this law comes almost at this very end of the llishnaic tractate Fesachhn ' indicates: that, one should teach thiS'Son^all the laws of Passover, from beginning to end, right up ta ein rMftiiim txhar hapesach afikomen (see the - authorities quoted by ;M. M. Kasher in the ^ Hagada Shelema).
U, according to the lawj one^^ should ttoe have afikomen after the meal, there, must have occurred a misunderstanding and transference of meaning, so that the piece of matzo after which there should be no afikomen came to be called afikomen itself.
It is.only fair to add that Cecil Roth (Soncino Hagada, pages viii.^ and' 19) suggests there are two ^ afikomen—two - similar Greek words \ with different sig-nificattee^ which' Jewish^^usage has confused. .
'The'T folk-lore ~ of ^ maii^- com-muiiitfes-made mueh^'of ttieidea of^.the afikomen. A. Yemeni tradi-. tion sees thfr word as an acrostic % of foods which may not be - ea^O* after the meaL Some communities believed that a piece of lafikomen guarded against the eva%e, especially when carried'in«rcorner of the arba kanfot, in- one's pocket, OFv:somewhere in the house. Some - thought: a piece of afikiMnen hungon^the wall would.
's cup explained
Has Elijah's cop In the Seder 'ritaal a jTarticuIar gymbdUsm other than to j^naintaln the attention of thechildren?
In fact-the aim of engaging the attention of .the cbildren is^ very secondary. Many scholars think that the orighi of the special'cup of Elijah is
' to be /explained on the ^grounds that there is an opinion in the Talmud that nve.
f not -four,: cups .of wine are to be partaken of during the Seder, ^ t
Although we follow the opinion that only four are necessary ; jWe do pour out a token cup, out of respect for the other opinion. -
This does not explain, however, the connection with Elijah, except^that the prophet is as-r sociated in the Jewish tradition with solving problems and resolving doubte.
Of course; there is thei further fairly obvious idea that Elijah is the herald of the Messianic redemption and on Passover, the anniversary of the redemption from Egypt, our thoughts should turn towards the future redemption^
Is it correct that an. account of the binding of Isaac formed part of the early Passover lit-
^ urgy and that only later was It transferred to the New Year-prayers? ,
I have never heard of this suggestion, though it is true that hi.storicaIly the binding of 'Isaac did not come into prominence as a RoshHashana theme until the third century.
help to prevent fires.
Some even regarded it as an aid to finding a^marriage partner,' to easy child-blrthor to longevity.^;:
But one does not have to be superstitious to appreciate the idea of- the afikomen,'nor;in..thft}
long run does it matter-^^much that our ancestors took poetic > licence and gave the word, and the game associated with it, a meaning it did not originally possess. For the children who are kept awake by attractive thoughts of father ransoming the broken piece of matso are, all unconsciously, playing their part in Jewish continui^ and survival.
No chametz no problem
If I know that a non-$hametx product Is made hi an aatomat(^d factory where no othier chametx Is brought in, can I,use that product for Passover? '
Of course you can.: Why not? Since there is no possibility of the product containing chametz what possible reason can there be for forbidding
it? Copyright JCNftFS
