Rabbi Binyamin Yuhanan - Laws of Erev Pesach

today we are going to learn some laws about upcoming holiday of PESA today we are going to go through the schedule from the day before pesach until pesach itself this year pesach falls out on Friday night April 15th therefore searching Hamid is going to be on Thursday night April 14th and we do the bidicad Hamed searching for hameds [Music] um after Nightfall which is about 20 minutes after Sunset and that is about 7 53 p.m so after 7 53 pm everyone should gather around their the head of the family make the blessing and uh use a candle at the beginning and then you can switch to a flashlight search all the rooms all the codes Pockets handbags um closets as well as children's knapsacks and all the other places that you you think you may have brought comets into and if you have children you really have to search all the places in the house because children might bring food and unhide it anywhere then after you finish the search you do um you do a special Proclamation starting with words called hamira and you declare that that all the hamets that I didn't see that I didn't find should be nullified you save some food for yourself for breakfast if you're planning to eat Hamed on breakfast and then the rest of the of the Hamet you set aside to burn the following morning in the morning you can have breakfast with hamads until 10 15 A.M after which time we're not allowed to eat hamets after 10 15. um and on um and then right after you have to gather all the remaining pieces of hamads and bring them to a burning site and burn them and you have to burn them before 11 45. I'm sorry this is for ashkenazim 11 45 uh for sephardim it is 11 30. in case you miss your 11 30 deadline to burn hamads you can still get rid of it or sell it or burn it um by 11 45 that is according to ashkenazin but you should try until 11 30. and um if the time to burn past they put out the fire and you find comets after that you should just flush it down the toilet now Friday evening we light candles 7 16 p.m Sunset is in Queens is um 7 34 p.m at which time we can no longer do any preparations for Passover we cannot do any work for Shabbat um now the following night we do candle lighting again this time for second uh Yom Tov because uh Friday night and Shabbat is the first yomtov Saturday night and Sunday is the second young top so on uh Shabbat you have to wait until Shabbat finishes only then light yomtov candles so you have to wait the time that you usually wait after Shabbat if you wait um 45 minutes so wait 45 minutes after sunset uh the earliest you can you can light candles is only after that time so it's recommended to light candles after 8 30 pm on Saturday night that is April 16th you should light candles Shabbat for the second young Tov at 8 48 p.m or later and don't forget we do um have dala within the Kiddush of the second Yom Tov um night now the the following week we have second days of Yom Tov the last days of yonto but because it falls on Friday and Shabbat we need to prepare a rooftop Shilling and a rooftop Charlene is prepared whenever Yom tov is right before Shabbat because we are not allowed to cook on yomtov for the following day but this um year it happens that right after yomto is Shabbat and we need to prepare for Shabbat and therefore we prepare a rooftop Shilling which means we start cooking for Shabbat before yantov and because we started we can continue on Yom tov so don't forget to prepare a rooftop Charlene on Thursday of uh pesach the following week and for those that need I'm gonna say what the blessing is for searching Hamet and that is you make this blessing before you start searching with the candle then you can switch to a flashlight you shouldn't talk about other things all these things that relate to searching and then using relying on that same blessing we burned Hamed's the following morning we don't repeat the blessing but after we burn Hamad we decide called hamira The Nullification of Hamed's second time after we burn hamets um anyone who is um who who forgets to sell their comments and then later finds out that the head comments that hummus becomes not Kosher so therefore even if you don't plan to keep any comments at home and you try to get rid of all comments you should still sell your comments to nanju just in case you find the package of Muhammad's after pesach because you sold it it's permitted to be used afterwards and um one more foreign because we need to eat matzah by the pestic cedar with appetite therefore um we we should make a pause and not eat matzah that day however if you need to eat what can you eat you can eat any other food of course besides hamets and not matzah you can eat meat and and eggs and make soup and vegetables and fruits um all the other delicious foods and if you need you can eat egg matzah especially for children ashkenazim are strict and they try not to eat egg matzah in the afternoon of the day before PESA but for sephardim it is permitted um Samir all the best
