Jews in the former Soviet Union eat pounds of matzah per person — the most in the world — every year. Here’s why.

I eat lots of matza burgers from the A&W.
Sometimes they have a 2 for $10 special.

We bought three kilos (2.2 pounds each) of matzah, and don’t eat it any other way than straight, or with a little salt or butter on top. Not just any matzah, either. These are hand made using flour carefully guarded against moisture from the moment it was reaped until it came out of the open-hearthed, stone, wood-burning oven. My wife had to have mizrahi (eastern matza), which is more tender and easier to chew, on account of her dental troubles. But we had three kilos total, close enough to those allegedly prodigious matza-eating Russians. They don’t impress me.

The report completely lacks perspective. The norm even in the U.S. is for a family to buy at least five pounds of matzah, even for one or two people, because that’s how most distributors send them to the supermarkets, with the cost per pound when buying the set of five one pound boxes far, far less than buying individual one pound boxes. Often the price of two one pound boxes bought separately could be as much as the cost of the set of five pounds. Lots of recipes can be made from them and they are tasty even when spread with just sweet butter. Yes, matzah stays fresh a long time in those individual one pound boxes and comes in handy the rest of the year for snacking.

Since these Jews likely have the opportunity to purchase matzah only once a year, they buy a large quantity, some or much of which will be on hand in their homes to snack on and use as bread substitute the rest of the year. The assumption that they are eating all the matzvah during Passover only has no basis. Are they thrilled to be able to do so, after Soviet prohibitions on matzvah? For sure.

It’s been debunked, genetically, in Israel, too.

Not that there isn’t a bit of intermarriage at any time. Happens.

Interestingly, all Ashkenazi Jewish people are genetically the equivalent (at most distant) of 5th cousins. Our closest genetic relatives are Sephardic Jews (from the second Diaspora group).

And our second closet group are — Palestinian Arabs, followed by Arabs in general, with whom most males share the same distant paternal ancestor.

The fact that you wrote “Khazarian” shows that you have been indoctrinated by retarded conspiracy cites. For starters, “Khazarian” isn’t the right adjective. It refers to the empire, not the ethnic group, An ethnic Jew, Slav, or Greek would be called Khazarian if they were subjects of the empire. The proper word is Khazar. And there is no evidence that any of the Jews you cited have any Khazar ancestry. I do. So please, call me a commie. I dare you

The word you were looking for is “sites”. Not “cites”. Educated people understand the difference.

Isn’t free speech a wonderful human right?
