What the Bible Really Means by Kosher
Aaron Eby’s Blog
Passover is sometimes called the "Festival of Unleavened Bread." Before Passover, we get rid of all of our "leavened" food. In addition to a thorough cleaning of the house, it is customary to do a ceremonial search by candlelight on the night before Passover and to burn any remaining contraband in the morning.
The Torah explains that this law is to commemorate how the Israelites rushed out of Egypt at such a hurried pace that they did not have time to wait for their dough to rise. Instead, they had to eat unleavened bread. But it doesn't take much scratching the surface to see that the symbolic nature of unleavened bread is far deeper than this. For example, unleavened bread is a clean break from the past; leaven reminds us of arrogance, corruption, and other types of sin.
However, if you are just looking for puffy loaves of sandwich bread, your search may be too narrow. Just like sin that sneaks in under our noses, "leaven" in a biblical sense can be found where you least expect it.
Here is a brief excerpt from Biblically Kosher on the topic of "leaven":
Leaven on Passover
On Passover, we are given an additional kosher law:
Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread [matzah]. On the first day you shall remove leaven [se’or] out of your houses, for if anyone eats what is leavened [chametz], from the first day until the seventh day, that person shall be cut off from Israel. (Exodus 12:15)
There are three key terms in this verse. Matzah (מַצָה) is typically translated “unleavened bread.” Se’or (שְׂאֹר) is typically translated “leaven.” Chametz (חָמֵץ) is typically translated “what is leavened” or “leavened bread.”
However, these translations can be misleading. The Hebrew terms do not refer to “leaven” or “leavening” in the sense that we use the word today. In ancient times, as well as in breads such as sourdough today, bread could be leavened just by allowing the dough to sit for a period of time until biochemical processes begin.
Chametz thus refers to products made of certain kinds of grain that have come in contact with water and are allowed to sit for a period of time without being cooked.
Most scholars see the word chametz as being related to a root meaning “to become sour; to ferment.” Other terms related to this root are chometz (חוֹמֶץ), “vinegar,” and chamutz (חָמוּץ), “sour.” Alternatively, some scholars connect the term with chamas (חָמָס), which literally means “violence.”
Keep in mind that the Hebrew word chametz does not imply anything about the fluffiness or softness of the food. This is one area where our English language leads us astray. Chametz can take many forms: not just fluffy bread, but also even noodles, cookies, or drinks.
Se’or refers to an inedible lump of starter dough that contains a high concentration of yeast. Se’or is used to expedite the fermentation process in a new batch of dough. However, yeast itself is not chametz or se’or. By itself, it is a unicellular fungus that is very common in the environment, and it can be used both in foods that are chametz and those that are not.
Matzah is flat bread that is made with flour and water and baked quickly at a high temperature. This ends the biochemical processes that would otherwise make it chametz.
