Now we discuss mixing.
What happens when a minute quantity of leaven which has been
leftover during Passover is mixed in with other foods after Passover?
Rab said: Leaven, in its time,
whether [mixed] with its own kind or with a different kind, is forbidden; when
not in its time, [if mixed] with its own kind, it is forbidden; [if with] a
different kind, it is permitted.
Samuel said: Leaven, in its time,
[if mixed] with its own kind, is forbidden; if with a different kind, it is
permitted. When not in its time, whether [mixed] with its own kind or with a
different kind, it is permitted.
While R. Johanan said: Leaven, in
its time, whether [mixed] with its own kind or with a different kind, is
forbidden when it imparts [its] taste; when not in its time, whether [mixed]
with its own kind or with a different kind, it is permitted
These views are all based on a particular principle:
For Rab and Samuel both said: All
forbidden things of the Torah, [if mixed] with their own kind, [render
forbidden the mixture even] when there is a minute quantity; [if] with a
different kind, [only] when [the forbidden element] imparts its taste.
The forbidden substance is significant in a diverse mixture
when it changes the taste.
