  • The Laws of Erev Pesach
    !1 The Laws of Erev Pesach: 1. Bedikas (search for the) Chametz: 1. Bedikas Chametz should ideally be done at nightfall on the evening of the fourteenth of Nissan. This year of 5778 it is Thursday evening March 29 at 8:30 pm. 2. One should make every effort to start the Bedika at nightfall, which may require you do leave work before nightfall in order to do Bedikas Chometz on time. 3. If you are unable to begin the Bedika at nightfall, do it as soon as possible afterwards. 4. The ideal custom is to daven Ma’ariv at nightfall in Shul and do bedikas Chametz immediately afterwards at home. 5. From 8:00 pm onwards, one should not be involved in activities which may cause you to lose track of time and miss the ideal time of starting the Bedika at nightfall. These activities include, but are not limited to having a haircut, shaving, bathing, eating bread and cake more than the size of an egg, and sleeping. 6. These restrictions only apply to those people who are required to do Bedikas Chometz. 7. Ideally, the home owner should do the search. However, he may ask others to assist in the search. In extenuating circumstances, he may even ask someone else to do the entire Bedika for him on his behalf. 8. One must do Bedikas Chametz of one’s office or business as well on this night. If it is very far away from home, the search can be conducted the night before, or have the Chametz in his office sold with his overall sale of Chametz (if he will not be in the office over Pesach.) 9.

  • How Is Pesach 5780 Different?
    BY THE BADATZ OF CROWN HEIGHTS HOW IS PESACH THIS YEAR DIFFERENT THAN ALL OTHER YEARS? By Rabbi Yosef Yeshaya Braun Member of the Badatz of Crown Heights*1 Preparing with Joy The current situation brings a lot of questions regarding preparing for Pesach. It is important to remember that simchas Yom Tov, to be happy on Yom Tov, is a mitzvah in the Torah—a mitzvas aseh deoraisah. This mitzvah applies to all—men, women, and children, each in their own way. We must ensure that Pesach is a happy occasion for us, our spouses, and our children. In all the commotion of preparation, we should be conscious of the halachah that a person should never say, “Kama torach Pesach ze” “How difficult is this Pesach.” While there are justifications for people who do occasionally say, “Kama torach Pesach ze,” saying so defeats the purpose of Pesach preparation. Some poskim say this is similar to the ben rasha, who wonders, “Ma haavodah hazos lachem?” We should instead frame Pesach as a memorable, pleasurable experience. At this time, our children are constantly with us at home, and they will remember this Pesach for years to come. The long-lasting effects of this Pesach will continue far beyond when we bez”H overcome this challenge. What happens now, what happens during our preparations *) Transcribed from Rabbi Braun’s shiurim on Timely Messages podcasts and other Pesach shiurim. DAY-BY-DAY HALACHIC GUIDE PESACH 5780 for this Pesach, will have a long-lasting effect, and the most important thing for our children is that their parents are a rock they can rely on at all times.
