You can eat rice on pesach if you are sepharadi or temani.
It is a custom and not a halacha.

She is saying that it is a halacha to check the rice 3 times. It is not a halacha to actually eat it. Reply

Sephardim are allowed to eat rice on Pesach, as long as it is checked carefully three times. Reply

Music Funny you say that because a few other Persian Jews have mentioned it. However, this was the only middle eastern sounding track we were able to afford since you need to purchase the copyright to be able to use it. Nevertheless, Persians also enjoy Arabic music...I am sure you have been to Persian weddings! Reply

music
it all looks great, but from another persian jew, the arabic back-ground music does not compliment the video.

reheat it answer So wonderful of you to surprise your father this way! I am sure he will love it! Yes, as it is explained in the cookbook, you can make the rice in advance...even 2 days in advance. Simply parboil and set up as if you are going to make tadig. Instead of making tadig, store in the fridge. If you have no room for a pot in the fridge, store parboil rice in zip top bag and assemble for tadig an hour before the party starts. To reheat it, drizzle 1/4 cup hot water on top of the "pyramid" of rice before placing on medium/low flame until warm and tadig gets made. If you have further questions contact me directly over my email KosherPersianFood at gmail. thanks! Reply

reheating it
Hi. I am persian but I don't really cook the food my father does. I am making a party for him and its a surprise and I am going to make rice, but I wanted to make it 2 days in advance, is that okay? Also, is it okay to make it in advance with the other polos, rice? How would I reheat it? Should I make the tadiik, the potatos, in advance or when I want to reheat it? How will that work, with the potatos and reheating?
Can you please reply by Feb 15 or even today?
Thank you.

great question Dear Hannah, I did say a bracha before eating but it was taken out the final cut. Also, to make this videos there are many, many takes and the original bracha I said cover all the consecutive potatoes I had to eat to make the perfect segment and the appropriate video length. The only video where the bracha was kept was the Challah video because it is absolutely necessary to teach that. If you see closely, I am wearing a sheitel and I am frum, a bracha is very important to me. ;) Reply
