Pat Akum
Question
Rabbi, Could you please elaborate on the last item of your explanation of Pat Akum. I am referring to the sentence "If a Jew lights the oven it would be permitted even for Sepharadim". Does this mean that if non-jew lights the oven at a bakery (even though the ingredients are kosher) that one is not permitted to eat there? Thank you and Tizku LeShanim Rabot. ***FROM THE HALACHA SECTION*** Bread: Bread, cake, cookies, crackers, and the like, all fall into the category of “Pat Akum,” bread of a Non-Jew, which is more lenient than the cooked food of a Non-Jew, “Bishul Akum.” Bread of a Non-Jew, even though it is from only Kosher ingredients, is not permitted when baked by a private person, but is permitted from a restaurant, bakery, and of course packaged in a supermarket. These are termed “Pat Palter.” If a Jew lights the oven, it would be permitted, even for Sephardim.
