Reply To: Ta'arovet Hametz kadma l' Pesach

I never once explicitly said that Ashkenazim should deviate from their practices.

In fact, if you see recipe suggestions I post on this website, I will often indicate options based on individual stringency. If a person wants to only use nut oil, or avoid garlic, or peel all their vegetables on Passover, and if that makes them feel good, and if they deem that appropriate, gezunta heit. But that doesn’t give these practices any legal valence.

In fact, at our sedarim this year and for the last days, we won’t even be using kitniyot or gebrokts, since we will be having Ashkenazim over. Not that I agree with these stringencies, but we want to be welcoming and inclusive.
