Passover Answers

Question:

We've been invited to a Sephardi Seder for Pesach. What is the halacha for
an Ashkenazi Jew - should we go, not go, or only eat according to our
minhag?

Answer:

Excellent question.  You should obviously first start off by ensuring that
the Sephardi family will be keeping Kosher for Passover.  If they are, you
should then ask them if any of the "main" dishes being served will contain
items not suitable for an Ashkenazi.  According to Halacha, you should eat
according to your minhag so if their main dishes are found to be
inappropriate for you, you may not have a fun time since you will not be
able to eat much.  However, it is perfectly permissable to share in the
experience of a Sephardi Seder as long as they are Kosher for Passover and
as long as you eat according to your minhag.
