Israel – Plain challahs and other fixed-price breads will not be available today in most places throughout the country, a result of the dispute between bakery owners and the government, which supervises the price of basic bread items.

There is no regular bread, which costs NIS 3.65, and not everyone can buy special bread or light challah, which costs NIS 11.90,” said Arcadi Melkov, owner of a minimarket in Ramat Gan. One of his customers remained undaunted: “So we’ll say the blessing over pitas, or with two rolls,” she suggested. [haaretz]
“I happen to be Satmar married to a Sefardi”
some strange dude, y r u soooo uptight about this.!?! u sure got a chirp on your shoulder
PS and you sure got the TEMPER of a sefardi.
plus since when is not marriying a sfardi-ashkenazy considred ‘close-minded’ (well if u tell me to other chasidus-misnaged fine but sfard-ashkenaz apparently they don’t typically blend)
A smart lady in ramat gan. Prices of flour have risen throughout the world, anyone notice there own 5lb bag, who should pay the price hike, people or bakeries….even if the price hike is shared it will be higher.
Pita bread on Shabbos erev Peseach is the best…no crumbs and wipes away all the last techina, chumus and tomato dip ever so nice…
Matzos Yehuda must be raking it in this week with any left over stock from pesach
Why is that funny? Many Sefardim use pitas every Shabbos. Pita is the traditional bread for the middle east.
Oh, let me guess, you’ve never heard of any culture other than your own.
I happen to be Satmar married to a Sefardi.
You are probably a closed minded dork who’s family has never married outside of their own gene pool, and thinks that besides for your particular family’s branch, there are no other frum Yidden or Yiddishe minhagim.
Shlomah you are funny!
blessing over pitas?
I think I will do this every week, and tell my children the Shamos said its good enough!
