OK rebdoniel it’s good to know where you stand, and I am sure you know women who are on such an exalted level in our days, good for you. Back to the issue, can you please explain why cooking kitniyot in the home is a problem for Askhenazim who wish to eat (something else) in the Sefaradi’s home?
Can you also explain what is the problem for a Sefaradi to eat something cooked by a Gentile employee of an observant Jew? I had never heard this from any of the Sefardi rabbis and minhagim I met so far in my life. I learned a Sefardi must be careful eating in a restaurant which is owned and operated by nonjews and supervised by a Jew, if the role of Jews in actual cooking of food fit to be served at the king’s table with bread and unfit for being eaten raw, is minimal, marginal, or is just lighting the oven; in this case the Sefardi can’t eat normally such food, but either he orders something else, or should talk to management and ask to use the kitchen. But if the nonjew is an employee of observant Jews? Where is the problem? I was puzzled but then I thought I should look up Rabbi Abadi’s website. Click on halacha and then food of a nonjew.
“If a Jew lights the oven, it would be permitted for Ashkenazim; but Sephardim cannot eat that food except when the Non-Jew is an employee at the house or restaurant of a Jew.”
Do you hold differently from Rabbi Abadi on this one?
