leavened
adjective
In Jewish tradition
Leavened bread is what Israelites must not eat during the seven days of Passover; it is also allowed in certain offerings, such as the thanksgiving peace-offering, though never burned on the altar.
Interpretation. The Rabbis call leavened food chametz and forbid eating it, owning it or even seeing it in the house during Passover. The dough in Egypt was not allowed time to rise, which the tradition remembers with matzah.
Meaning
Made with leaven, so that the dough has risen; the opposite of unleavened. tree →
