There is no reason to say there is, so why invent it and have shver?
projection... Don't say that the מ"א is learning like that if there is just 'no reason to say' otherwise.


Anyway see פרי מגדים א״א who is explicit that there is no rov
Please point to the exact words in the פרי מגדים that say so.

Curious, does eating only shmurah the whole pesach for products a relatively new minhag among litvish people? My father and grandfather all ate manishewitz not during the seder, but nowadays that has changed.

Did I hear Rabbi Jurval say that xanthan gum is chametz?
I don’t sell chametz, should I be discarding anything with it inside?
