I deleted my question about this because no one had the chance to answer in time. Not a problem, we were very busy too and our Pesach turned out wonderfully!! Hope all of yours did too!

Yes, we also had a wonderful Pesach seder! But, I think a good list with what is and what is not kosher for Pesach is a great idea so people can use it next year!
Shalom achoit,
Reuel

Chag Sameach! Sorry I didn't catch this thread earlier Messimom.... I suppose most of us were busy getting ready for Pesach.....  As a general rule anything containing the following should be considered chametz for Pesach: * Yeast * Baking Soda * Any type of Leaving Agent * Wheat, Spelt, Oats, Barley, Rye Askenazi Jews also avoid things which contain kitniot, although the Sefardim, Yemenite, and Mizrachi do not. If interested, you can find a list of kitniot here: www.kashrut.com/Passover/kitniot_list/ |

;D "Wheat, spelt,oats,barley,rye."  None of these should be a problem in themselves if they don't contain any leaven. After all, the matzoh wafers are made of wheat. |

I'm sorry, I'll clarify my post.
Since yeast is something that naturally occurs, if any product is made by combining those items with liquid and it is allowed to stand for more than 18 minutes (any longer and yeast would mix with it), then it considered to be chametz for Pesach.

Where does milk fall into all this, after all, it ferments.

Good question Sean. Very observant.
Only chametz is forbidden. Chametz is fermented grain products; that is, of one of the 5 grain species mentioned above.
Just because something is fermented doesn't necessarily mean that it is chametz. For ex. wine, vinegar, yogurt, cheese - these are all permitted and even, in the case of wine, mandated for use at Passover.
Part of the reasoning is that chametz is the antithesis of matzah. Matzah can only be made from grains, so then chametz is the leavened version of those grains. Since you cannot make matzah from milk and water alone, milk (from a kosher animal of course) is kasher l'Pesach.
Happy New Year! and Chag Sameach!!!

Ok, this is driving me crazy. I have about 4 different lists, and they seem to contradict each other on a few items. Also, there are things ingredients in our kosher cookbooks in passover recipies that also appear on one or two of my lists. Can anybody humour this poor Goy, and post a list of like 20 things I could use to make food with over this period, I would be very grateful. Oh, and thanks for the valuable insight already given |

Why would baking soda not be kosher for passover? It is not yeast.
One question I have is: is Passover always on Shabbat? If so, do most people cook ahead on Friday for it, or what?
I am doing better this year; I gave the neighbor almost all of my bread, I am just saving enough for tomorrow. I also gave her my yeast. However I still have some things that have baking soda in them.

Something that is very difficult for us to get used to is the idea that there is a great variety in standards within rabbinical orthodoxy. This is one of the uniquenesses of our faith. There comes a point when you're not going to be able to ask the rabbinical or otherwise scholarly authority as how you should conduct yourself in Adonai's righteousness. You're just going to have to ask God. Pray sincerely for His direction. YOu may not get an answer to the question you are looking for because He is speaking to you on something completely different. You may get something you were not in the least bit expecting. You will always receive a sense of peace that His is guiding you in the direction that He would have you to go.
Take the time to quietly present the question to Adonai. Prayerfully consider the question. Often this takes a while. He is not teh reference desk, He is the Almighty. Yet, seeking Him with your concerns and your desire to be in the center of His will always result in His blessing on your life.
