Reply To: Ta'arovet Hametz kadma l' Pesach

This isn’t davqa bal tosif, but it certainly is rhetorically.

I see no merit in going beyond of what is acceptable from a halakhic perspective for the sake of self-righteousness; such self-righteousness serves to win the favor of men, not do right by G-d, and I want no part of that, nor do I see that as particularly useful in my avodat hashem.

I have a list of cereal Sephardim can use on Pesah from a rabbi with years of yeshiva learning and I have another list from a rabbi who is considered a leading rosh bet din in the LA community and which is relied upon for giyur, gittin, etc. (just like R’ Ralbag, who is seen as hashuv, but is rejected on kashrut, for whichever reasons)
