The preparations for the Passover Seder meal, I am often told by those cooking the meal, are arduous. Setting the table for guests, preparing the festival meal, ensuring that the Seder plate has its special symbolic foods from charoset to salt water to maror, Passover is a holiday associated with planning and preparation. Our rabbis reinforce this message of necessary planning if we are to observe the dietary imperatives of Passover. According to our sages and adhering to the stringent biblical mandate that requires us to “make leaven cease from our houses,” they created a strict process to ensure the fulfillment of this imperative. To help guarantee the removal of chametz, food products unfit for Passover from our homes, the Talmudic sages not only decreed (Pesachim 29b) that any food with leavening still remaining in our homes are forever forbidden for consumption, but they also instructed that food fit for Passover, even if contaminated by chametz only to the proportion of one/sixtieth, made the item entirely inedible! The first step in “making leaven cease” from our homes is called “bedikat” chametz, the “search” for chametz. While Biblical law simply requires the “bitul,” the simple annulment of chametz, and not necessarily the removal (Pesachim 4b), the stringency of the Torah was for the rabbis an opportunity add additional observances and this is exactly what they did with the “search” for chametz. Just prior to the beginning of Passover, the rabbis instructed that the home be searched by candlelight, which enabled a thorough search of the cracks and crevices in the home. Once the chametz was gathered, it was to be burned. In this fashion, and with an additional blessing annulling ownership of any chametz not seen, chametz was made to “cease from our houses.” While the emphasis on Passover preparation is primarily depicted in as the physical removal of the chametz, the rabbis did not overlook the spiritual ramifications of chametz removal.They were quick to teach that chametz, representing the impure, must clearly be removed from the house, but remind us that spiritual chametz, those negative inclinations, also be eliminated from our lives. Clearing out these spiritual impurities, making these “cease” from our lives, was for our sages a component of Passover observance that was not to be ignored. Can we be truly free, can we experience the redemption of Passover if we are enslaved by hatred, by detrimental behaviors, by attitudes that make us suspicious of others? Can we be free if we refuse to jettison the spiritual impurities that perpetuate family fractures? Can we be free if we cling to ideas that hinder our growth as human beings? Smugness, detrimental memories, greed, gossip, bitterness and the desire for retribution, blaming others for our inability to be successful or fulfilled—this spiritual chametz needs to be eradicated, this chametz needs to “cease” if Passover is to be properly observed and personal freedom realized. As we begin the process of searching our homes for unwanted chametz, we traditionally recite the blessing, “Blessed are You, Adonai our God, Sovereign of the Universe, who has commanded us concerning the removal of chametz.” The search for chametz in our homes is an integral part of our Passover commemoration. More important, though, is making sure that we observe the command to do the difficult work of searching for and removing the spiritual chametz that keeps us chained to everything that is deleterious in life.
