Guard Against the Yeast? Do present people of Israel follow?

Question

When God led the people of Israel out of slavery in Egypt, He told them
to prepare for a quick departure by making bread without yeast. He
gave instructions to remember their departure through the celebration
of Passover - also called the Feast of Unleavened Bread. During this
celebration there was a seven day period when yeast was not even
allowed in the home: "For seven days no yeast is to be found in your
houses. And whoever eats anything with yeast in it must be cut off from
the community of Israel" (Exodus 12:19).
When God established the various offerings through Moses, yeast became
associated with an unworthy sacrifice; "Every grain offering you bring
to the Lord must be made without yeast" (Leviticus 2:11).

About 1500 years later, Jesus used the symbolism of yeast to give His
disciples an important warning.

Luke 12:1
"Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy."

What is the present situation?

Answer 1

Yeast is the substance in bread that not only causes it to rise, but speeds the rotting process.

So for reasons of health, the Jews were told to prepare bread that would not rot quickly during their flight from Egypt.

The leaven (yeast) of the pharisees is that a little of the old law will spoil the New Covenant beliefs.

Orthodox Jews still keep the feast of Passover. But not all Isaelis are orthodox Jews.

Answer 2

Out of respect the Jewish people still eat Unleavened Bread called Matzoh.

Yeast represented SIN. A tendency to grow!
