Reply To: When & why did we start giving children more than one name?

popa_bar_abba – “I will happily disrespect your unbelievable and idiotic thinking that it is pashut. If it was such a real concern like you say, it would be assur m’dina.”

At the end of the Shulchan Oruch HaRav there are Shu”t from the Rav. Simon Daled of Shu”t O.C. third para:

“…our eyes see many matzos have on them minute amounts of flour which can be seen by the eye after the baking, this is impossible to deny, and the reason this is not mentioned by the earlier poskin, because then they …but now we are machmir to mix the dough very very quickly and therefore small amounts of flour are found in the dough, as anyone who examines it will discover.”

So, b’michalas kvodo, indeed, the concern of gebrokt is NOT LESS but GREATER today than in the previous generations!! What was once a hiddur or chumrah is potentially today an issur chmetz b’pessach!!

This is very serious, and it is a mitzvah to be mifarsem it to the tzibur!! The oneg Yom Tov of eating a matzah-ball comes at the actual risk of an issur d’oraysa!
