Gluten-Free Matzah: Does one fulfill the obligation of matzah with it?
Question
With gluten-free matzah, does one fulfill the obligation of the commandment of matzah? [I saw that Shevet HaLevi and Rabbi Yosef Shalom Elyashiv were concerned about this…] What is the Rabbi’s view on it?
Answer
For some reason, I missed this question. Sorry.
I’m not familiar with the topic or the practical reality. With matzah made from the five species of grain, one fulfills the obligation. I don’t know how gluten is removed or what that means.
