ISRAEL: NEW RULE FOR PASSOVER

The pro-marijuana Green Leaf Party has told followers that marijuana
is not kosher for Passover and that those who observe the holiday's
dietary rules should take a break from it. It said products of the
cannabis plant, including hemp seeds, had been grouped by rabbis with
foods like beans that are off limits. But if cannabis is nonkosher for
Passover, it said, "it is apparently kosher the rest of the year."
