Why don't most US Jews eat corn or rice on Passover? Is Kitniyos forbidden? Why, if it isn't leaven/fermented? - forbidden rice
I'm confused.
It is biblically wrong?
I heard some rabbis say, it's OK to eat at Easter, but I know that most of the Jews to prevent the practice of maize, at least.
If not, you may have, but not eating (I heard), why?
Please tell me Kitniyot.
Thank you.
I also heard CoffeeMate cream kosher for Passover, but it contains corn syrup (with some kosher food certificates, which I saw).
I'm confused.

Forbidden Rice Why Don't Most US Jews Eat Corn Or Rice On Passover? Is Kitniyos Forbidden? Why, If It Isn't Leaven/fermented?

If you are confused by Kitniyot, this means that also probably only common sense.
The tradition of non-food Passover Kitniyot Ashkenazi origin is unclear. Although explanations have been proposed are all speculations, long after the practice began as a folk tradition.
Many authorities, including those who claim that the rule is mandatory Kitniyot agree that it is a rule that has spread beyond the scope of origin - in itself is already doubtful.
There is a saying that dates hundreds of years, that nothing should be added to the list of Kitniyot, but this was largely ignored. One reason for the continual expansion of the standard is its own uncertainty - because there is no clear answer on what is Kitniyot, or why the state is no clear answer as to what is not, "just for you" people, things Next to the list of banned substances to Easter.
Peanuts and corn, should not, for example Kitniyot and were not known when the rule. But they have beeNo extra time in practice, and if things are forbidden, it is very difficult to undo.
Interpreted in terms of corn syrup Kitniyot The rule narrowly and does not apply to products derived from Kitniyot. Corn syrup was good, and some agencies still hechshering approved. Again, because the scale has been the increasingly bizarre Kitniyot practice, the corn syrup in the last decades as an ingredient of the Passover marginalized. One particular reason, because corn syrup is not really an example of how peanut oil, but corn is actually a chemical process, it can be a derivative. But if this is the only reason it would be difficult to explain peanut oil:
Until a few years ago, the unit hechshered peanut oil for Passover. They stopped. I have heard of no other reason than the noise of the resistor Kitniyot overzealous public.
As CoffeeMate, but you look more closely on the label of Easter. Some products that have a Hechsher Easter - like Coca-Cola - Start spiceLot L without corn syrup, which may be the case CoffeeMate.
Edit:
Here is an excellent lecture on the topic. Just for a Conservative rabbi, and therefore inherently suspect for some, but I think that Orthodox scholars agree he did a good job, the history of tradition and the arguments for it.
