Thanks for the info, Onmastker. That said, shouldn't the article be cleaned up to use consistent spelling (gebrochts/gebruchts)? It's bad form to use variable spelling in prose. —Quicksilver^{T @} 01:23, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Vilna Gaon

I have deleted a line suggesting that the Vilna Gaon refrained from eating gebrochts on all but the eighth day of Pesach. The Vilna Gaon was a staunch opponent of the practice (and of Hassidic practices in general), and considered it to be a minhag shtus. Furthermore, while he is known to have publicly dipped matzo in water to demonstrate the permissibility of eating gebrochts, I can find no evidence (nor even any baseless claim) that he hung matzo balls out his window, as the line suggested.

Thanks for the comments. The quote about the matzo balls, if I'm not mistaken, was something I heard from a Rabbi Berel Wein tape, i.e. that on Day 8, no matter who you are, go eat Gebruchts. Regardless, in no way was I trying to indicate that the GR"A himself didn't eat Gebruchts all Pesach -- I apologize if the wording here was unclear, and if there's a way you'd reword things, I'm open to suggestions.

I'm not going to revert your edit, but as a matter of Wikipedia policy (or at least my understanding thereof), please put your comments up for at least a day or two before doing a delete. I would have much rather had this discussion before-the-fact than after. TLMD13 15:03, 13 April 2007 (UTC)TLMD13[reply]

There are those who have a custom not to eat gebrokts the entire 8 days (I know two such people) - one is a Satmar Hassid and one comes from a family of Karliner Hassidim, however this is not the custom in either Hasidic dynasty. They both say it is their family's own custom, and they do not know where it came from Itzik18 (talk) 00:01, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Gebrochts or Gebrokts?

I may be wrong, but I was under the impression that gebrochts and gebrokts mean two different things - gebrochts (with a chaf) means broken, gebrokts (with a koof) means soaked. maybe i'm wrong - not sure Itzik18 (talk) 00:01, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
