[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am surprised to see that in some traditions polenta is KFP.  In ours, anything made from corn is excluded during Passover.

Good lunches include tuna or chicken salad on matzah or wrapped up in lettuce leaves[/quote]

Growing up as a conservative Ashkenazi, corn and other kitniyot (beans, quinoa, rice, peanuts...) were off limits. Several years ago the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism officially approved kitniyot. So even though I didn't grow up with it, I've started eating it, and Passover is infinitely easier (except for the fridge scrubbing, and dishes schlepping...)[/quote]

Yep.  Kitniyot is fine.  Except I grew up without it and now I just can’t.  A lot has changed in judiasm.  Women wear kippot, tiffilin, and tallit.  Matriarchs are include in the Avot.  I don’t mind that the religion is changing but I can’t bring myself to embrace the changes that women are now afforded.  My daughter has grown up with the changes and they are part of her tradition now.  It’s not weird for her to wear tallit; she thinks it’s weird that I don’t.  But I had a bat mitzvah which my mom didn’t have.  With each generation, the changes come and the next generation embraces them and then it’s what everyone does.[/quote]
