pesachAs supermarkets around the country open their Pesach 2010 sets, consumers will find an unprecedented array of new foods and wines that will make this holiday “more interesting than in recent years,” according to one source. Many of the new products are designed to bring the Passover taste closer to that of year-round items while others are simply meant to add the broad array of items already available for Pesach. There is also an emphasis on healthier products.

  1. Why does pesach have to be like year round? Why can’t there be adifference? Can people not survive for ONE week without cheerios, pasta, soup nuts , and even something like bread?

  2. To #1 I think you are wrong directing the complaint against the customers why dont you instead ask why do jewish companies have to make so many products why cant we manage without all this and why do companies have to make such a huge profit on poor jews and couldnt care less that we are in a recession why cant the rabunim tell us to avoid these companies charging us through the roof and convincing us to taste more of this stuff with a 500 percent profit if we put our foot down they will cave in like was done in europe hundred years ago when the price of fish skyrocketed the rabunim put their foot down and they caved in

  3. Well, now I don’t have to say what was on my mind, because # 1 said it so well.
    If you spend thousands of money to go to a bungalow or to some deserted island, eating and living simple is ok because it cost alot of money. But here, Pesach is more fun because now we can spend money on pesach ketchup, and pesach candies, of which we have no idea how machmir they really are.
    We have changed alot since we spent Pesach with a lovely family who uses only whole foods: potatoes, chicken, vegetables, fruts. The family cooked together and planned together as a family, what dishes they would cook and how creative they could do it without using processed items. How close that family is, we were so touched and envious of that.
    These processed items will not bring happiness. Family time, working things out, working together, will do it. Thats what we learned from this family. My family is now better off for that.
    I suggest that everyone find someone like that to learn from. This is out of hand. We don’t need to live like the goyem, we aren’t them, and they are, and thats that.

  4. #2-the point is not the money being spent even if the products were given away for free, my complaint is not directed to the Rabonim or the customers. Why can we not have a Pesach that was handed down B’msorah from generations past, without all the manufactured product? Why can’t Pesach be Pesach, we all knew it was Pesach?

  5. i am sure when my zeide, back in der alte heim, went to his hotel for pesach, they didn’t have all these products.

  6. #6 And I am sure your zaide in their heim didnt have the nisyoinois of the current generation and so why not allow whats allowed the nisyoinis out there are hard enough why not focus more on the crazy prices which make pesach such an expensive yum tuv

  7. I got free Negev Matzah at a local Jewish Community center. It was awful – thick and tasteless. I understand that it was free, but in the previous years, free Matzah from a different producer was a lot tastier!
