An Article Experiment

[The Thadman]

I've been working on an article concerning Hag HaMatzot (Passover) and what the historical context of yeast in the Biblical era. It's far from finished, but if I could have some comments as to how it's coming along I'd love it.

We have a baker in the house, I can almost smell it coming out of the oven, all hot and fresh. You have wetted my appetite for more of this bread you are baking.

Heheheh

As of late I've been on a real baking kick for some reason. Sourdough's what I'm aiming at now, but it takes a LOT of time and investment to get it just right.




Any other comments anyone?

Peace!

I enjoyed the article. The explainations and associations were not strained and fairly well constructed

Forgive my ignorance of wine making - I thought it was the yeast that remained on the grapes that ferments the wine.... but your article leads me to think I am, perhaps, in error. Would you please explain your statement: "Other things like wine may be permissible, as they do not require שאר (sha'or) to be made"??

Back then it would be a natural fermentation process to make wine, versus using a sha'or to proof it like bread, yogurt or cheese. That white powdery stuff on the skins of grapes is natural yeast that grows with it.

Also as I believe I mentioned in the article, in Biblical Hebrew vinegar is referred to as khemetz yayin, fermented/soured wine, as to imply that wine in and of itself is not khametz, hence why I say "may be permissible" because I'm not sure; more research required.
