Actually I do prefer to eat strawberries because of the resemblance to human hearts. Reply

I got 9/9. But I consider that was pot luck. I.hesitated a lot about Question #,9. I truly do not know what one should eat before the fast of Tisha B'Av. It just happened that I made the correct choice. Reply

Isn't eating ashes bad for the body? Reply

Aviva Woodland Pennsylvania November 18, 2021

in response to Sylvia Eisner:

You are only dipping a hard boiled egg into a small amount of ashes. The ashes are symbolic of the destruction of the 1st and 2nd Beit HaMikdash. Reply

in response to Sylvia Eisner:

I don't know if it is bad for you, but it's certainly not bad. It doesn't really have a taste at all. Reply

Esther Beachwood November 18, 2021

in response to Sylvia Eisner:

we don't eat ashes we dip them into it. (kind of like charoses on or lettuce on Pesach, even though sometimes we dump it on 😉). Reply

Sylvia Eisner Fall River, MA November 19, 2021

in response to Aviva Woodland:

I understand what the symbol is of the ashes.
I'm just questioning ingesting them, even a small amount. Reply

Sylvia Eisner Fall River, MA November 19, 2021

in response to Esther:

My family and I certainly eat the charoses on Pesach; I often make more for the holiday. Reply

Esther Beachwood November 21, 2021

in response to Sylvia Eisner:

me too, but when dipping the lettuce specifically (during the seder), we are really not supported to put much charoses on the lettuce (even though a lot of people do, like me). i was trying to give an example but I guess I didn't explain it well enough lol. if it doesn't make sense forget about it.
