while I'm driving y'all crazy about meat stamps and grape juice, you might as well know that postage stamp glue is made with grain products, which may present a problem on passover. I asked Rabbi Elazar Mayer Teitz of Elizabeth about this some years ago, and I believe his response was that they did not have to be sold or destroyed, but they should not be licked on passover. My guess is that they use corn syrup, so he based that reply on corn only being 'kitneus' (legumes), but i wonder if anyone out there knows the composition in more detail, like if any of the five species which, if leavened, is Biblically prohibited on passover? zev farkas hou2a!zev 201 949 3821
