Matzah baked with eggs and fruit juice are permissible only for the elderly, sick or young children who cannot digest regular matzah. Krupnik says that since the eating of matzah commemo- rates the Jewish people in haste, without the time to allow dough to rise, its preparation "should be simplistic," involving basic ingredients. Matzah produced for year-round consumption may not be used on Passover, as the necessary precautions are not taken to avoid the onset of the leav- ening process. Grain alcohol, a fermentation prod- uct, is chametz. Any edible item, which normally contains grain alcohol, including whiskey, liquor, liquid medication and even non-internal products like per- fumes, colognes, hair spray, mouthwash, liquid and roll-on deodorants, are not permitted for use during Passover. Totally inedible products, howev- er, that contain grain alcohol, such as polish, ink or floor wax, are allowed to be used . A physician should be consulted to determine usage of medicines, which may contain chametz. Keeping kosher for Passover involves the proper use of eating and cooking supplies, such as dishes, pots and pans, utensils and glassware. These must be either replaced or, if possible, cleansed appropriately. Ovens and range tops must be burnt out or used with a special liner. Metal and wood, if they can be thor- oughly cleaned, may be made kosher for Passover. Earthenware may not. Shelves, countertops, cooking and eating surfaces used year round must be cleaned and covered. Special dish racks, sink racks and wash basins should be used. Just saying no to chametz is much easier for those who are creative. Cutting matzah in small squares makes crackers and crumbling it makes soup farfel. Ground and mixed with oil and eggs it boils into matzah balls and bakes into sandwich rolls. Change its shape, add some sugar and cover it with chocolate — it's a cake — and all are kosher for Passover. fl Open Arms, Open Minds SHELLI DORFMAN Editorial Assistant I Temple Beth El hosted the seder, vhich was conducted by Rabbi David Casiglione. A Jewish temple member sat at each table, to light candles, say the blessings and answer questions. Bomgren attended the seder with his n a temple social hall, a rabbi is pouring the fourth cup of wine, the story of Passover is being told, all are eating matzah and 90 percent of the atten- dees are not Jewish.

In fact, said Pastor Jonathan Bomgren who joined students from the Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Farmington Hills, this pro- gram is so right that his church has made it a require- ment for members of their three confirmation classes.
