Gebrochts

Alright kiddo, gebrochts is a Yiddish word that means "broken." It's used in the context of Passover, which is a Jewish holiday. During this holiday, there are certain foods that people aren't supposed to eat because they might turn into bread. That might sound strange, but it has to do with the story of the Jewish people leaving Egypt a long time ago.

So, during Passover, people eat special unleavened bread called matzah instead of regular bread. And they avoid eating certain foods that might turn into bread, like wheat, barley, and rye. But there's another rule that some people follow, and that's the gebrochts rule.

Basically, some people don't want to take any chances with those forbidden foods. They're worried that if they get wet, they might start to ferment and turn into bread. So they avoid eating anything that's been soaked in water or any liquid during Passover.

This means they can't eat things like matzah ball soup or even some types of gefilte fish, because those things have dough or breadcrumbs in them that might have gotten wet. It might seem like a lot of rules to follow, but for some people, it's an important way to observe the holiday and show respect for traditions that go back thousands of years.
