okay welcome to today we are learning
about Pesa especially how to prepare for
Pesa
by cleaning the house from chametz what
is Hamed switch places you have to clean
how do you culture dishes which food is
kosher for peso especially rice how to
conduct the Seder which matzo is the
best which wine is the best and Adam
it's worth of Pesa so we'll start with
the first question that many people ask
and that is which rice can you buy for
peso and if you open your folders that
is going to be the first page in your
folder for Sephardic Jews which rice is
kosher so the the only criteria that we
have for kosher ID surpasses that it
should be unenriched no vitamins added
after it was processed and certain
brands we know that they are not
enriched like kakuka rice both yellow
and red other brands that are not listed
if the package doesn't say whether it's
enriched or not one way to check is to
look at the ingredients in if it in
ingredients just says rice polished rice
and no other ingredients that's a sign
that it was not enriched or you look at
the nutrition panel and if you see that
when it lists the vitamins vitamin A is
zero vitamin C is zero
iron is zero then you know they didn't
add anything because if they added then
you would see that certain vitamins and
certain
are listed white rice we have to check
before Pesa only once unlike in the
previous years where we had to check it
three times now since we see that white
rice usually screen doesn't contain any
other grains one time careful checking
by an adult whether it's a man or woman
over but a bar mitzva is enough however
if you deal with other grains or brown
rice then it needs three times checking
for example brown rice since it's
similar in color to wheat grains you
have to be more careful in checking and
you need to check three times also if
you using any are kind of legumes kidney
odd you have to check three times for
example if you want to use buckwheat you
must check at least three times and not
recommended to use buckwheat because
we've found that you would have to check
at least five six times until you stop
seeing grains because it's so mixed with
other things that and especially its
color brown it's very difficult to check
so it's not recommended but things like
quinoa for example it's small it's white
and it's similar to white rice and it's
very easy to check that one you have to
check three times but it's much easier
because it's white or for example millet
is not humus and therefore whether you
want to eat millet check it three times
or if you want to feed your birds millet
that is kosher and for birds you don't
have to check three times it's best to
check rise before Pesa however if you
didn't you can check it on Pesa and even
on Yom Tov you can check rice however if
it is on Yom Tov you can only check what
you're planning to use for that Ianto
and if you happen
find grain in your rice or in your
kidney odd then you have to dispose of
it you have to flush it down the toilet
or burn it or throw it in a public
dumpster
now the next page in your folder is
delegation of power of attorney after we
check for hummus and we clean our house
we are allowed to sell whatever hamed's
we don't want to get rid of ideally a
person should get rid of his hummus but
if it's a large quantity or for some
reason they cannot dispose of it they
are allowed to sell it and in order to
sell it
you have to empower a rabbi to sell your
hummus on your behalf to a non Jew so
you fill out this form and you list
which areas the Commons is in you sign a
dated and you either email it fax it or
drop it off by the debate in which is
listed on the other side make sure you
do it before the BD kadha midnight but
the card commits is Thursday April 18th
make sure you do it before then because
they have a cut-off limit by which time
they stop accepting these forms ok next
you see in your folder important times
for Pesa
which includes the time for Billy cut
chametz which is in New York around 750
2:00 p.m. on the night of Thursday April
18th and the following morning Friday
April 19th we have to eat breakfast
early ideally according to rabbi yitzhak
Israeli you should eat it by 946 which
is half an hour earlier than the time
listed here this is the time that
appears and calendars which is for Magee
annavaram 1016 and for Gras 10:40 this
is the 4th hour
the day by which time you have to stop
eating comments and then you have one
more hour to destroy your habits and
that is after you finish the breakfast
you collect all the last pieces and bits
of comets and you bring it to the
burning site and you burn it together
with all other people and after burning
you say a special prayer this should be
done according to Rabbi Itzhak Israeli
by 11:03 a.m. which is about half hour
earlier than the time listed here which
is taken from the regular calendar and
if you missed by 1103 you can use the
later times that are listed here and
this page also lists times for candle
lighting both for Friday which is the
regular candle lighting before Shakya
and for multi Shabbat because the second
say there is after Shabbat over there
you have to wait until Shabbat is over
whatever you hold whether it's eight
forty one for those who hold earlier or
a contraband Atem
8:59 that is the earliest time you can
light candles and also for most a
Shabbat you have to make half dollar in
in your kaduche so you have to prepare
candle preferably two candles so that
you can put them together for half
dollar if you don't have two candles you
can use one and in the middle of your
kaduche you say the blessing Boromir a
high ash and you say the blessing for
half dollar and you end it with ham of
deal being Kaddish the Kaddish and make
sure you don't put out the candle for
half dollar after you finish your
kaduche unlike regular monisha about
when we put out the candle with wine
since it's Yom Tov we're not allowed to
put out the fire so all you can do is
just put it somewhere that and let it
burn out by itself and therefore it is
recommended to use small candles like
they sell for Hanukkah candles the very
thin ones that burn only half an hour if
a person doesn't have those candles
cannot use two candles he's allowed to
use one candle for this half dollar also
this page describes the procedure for
Wendy cut hummus
okay the next page you see in your
folder is the Sephardic matzah
measurement guide and on the other side
is the Marauder measuring guide so we
eat three things that need to be
measured on Pesa we eat matzah we eat
more and we drink four cups of wine so
for for for matzah you need to eat a key
site and we're gonna learn what occurs
IDs for Mourad you also need to eat a
COS ID and four cups of wine you need to
have a ravit and what is revealed we're
gonna speak about so first with matzah
we eat matzah three times during the
Seder one for Hamas illaha Menards in
the blessing Allah halat matzah second
bike Oregon with the sandwich and third
at the end of the set or when we eat
afikoman each one needs a cos I the
person who is leading the Seder and he's
gonna eat from the afikomen from the mat
so that you actually made blessing for
its proper for him to eat to kiss a team
one from the master that he said Pamela
Hamlett
I mean Herod and one on the master that
you said Allah heal at Mozza which means
one from the top matzah and one cos I'd
from the middle matzah but that's only
for the person who is leading the Seder
if he's gonna eat from those mud salt
everyone else at the Seder is enough to
eat only one his ID so how much is a cos
ID so there are various measurements the
most strict is 28 grams and that is one
ounce weight
however the more lenient one and
delicate Gila we are allowed to use that
one is 20 grams per person and for even
more lenient which is also permissible
for Safari you can use 15 grams it's not
listed over here but according to Rabbi
it's a Israeli and according to Rabbi
alien Haim
you're allowed to use 15 grams for cos
I'd for each one of these now how do you
find what is 15 grams so you either get
a food scale or post-office scale and
you pre measure everything and you put
the matzo into ziplock bags enough for
every person in the house times 3
because each person needs three times to
eat matzah or if you don't have a scale
and you cannot get one you just estimate
by either taking half of machine matzah
that is a cos I'd for safar than half of
machine matzah so eat half of machine
lots of three times during the Seder or
take a third of round matzah that's an
average thickness around Massa hand
matzah if you're much salt happened to
be extra thin then you should eat half
of a hand matzah so a regular person
would either eat three halves of machine
mats that during the Seder or a regular
person would eat three thirds of hand
mats which would end up an entire hand
matzo per person but it is highly
recommended to get a scale this way you
will know exactly that you're eating the
right amount and you're not going to
overeat and an important benefit by to
have a scale
measure everything before Pesa is it's
gonna save you a lot of time because
when you set up place for people you can
already put by their plate three bags of
matzah and you can do the same with mer
or you measure an ounce of mer or one
ounce of mer or which is romaine lettuce
and again put it in into two bags
because one we need for my roll and one
for Cora and as you go through Hagaddah
each person will open the right bag and
eat it you don't have to distribute it
you don't have to cut it you don't have
to measure it and estimated it takes
time and then you worry that maybe I
didn't eat enough and then you eat extra
so it is highly recommended to get a
scale and pre-measure all your matzo and
all your mud or romaine lettuce now we
go to romaine lettuce there are two ways
to measure romaine lettuce either you
use the scale as we said and you measure
one ounce or you use this guide and
everything that is enclosed by the box
the green box that is how much space
what is the area of one ounce of leaves
leaves are the thin green part of
romaine lettuce the stalks are heavier
but if you are using just the leaves and
you're able to spread it on this sheet
and it's going to occupy this area then
you know that you're eating at least a
side of Marone and again you need to eat
two of these one for the actual model
and one for the sandwich if you don't
have the scale and you lost this paper
and you forgot what the area is one way
to estimate it is to use three medium
leaves if you use three medium romaine
lettuce leaves
they approximately cover this
area and they are approximately weigh
one ounce now what about the four cups
of wine when we drink the four cups of
wine number one we need to make sure
that the cup we're using can contain at
least the amount of ravit
how much is revealed and that is three
ounces or 86 milliliters
how much should you drink you need to
drink majority of your cup so if you use
the minimum cup of of three ounces you
have to drink a little more than one and
a half ounces or approximately two
ounces each time except for the last
time when you drink your fourth cup you
should drink the entire cup or at least
three ounces because after the fourth
cup we say the blessing I'll a given
valley a given and in order to say that
blessing you need to drink at least 3
ounces of grape juice or wine so it's
recommended to find a cup of 3 ounces or
a little bit bigger not much bigger than
3 ounces because if you get a large cup
you need to fill up the cup the cup
doesn't need to spill but it should be
filled almost till the top and then you
have to drink majority of that cup so
for example if you have a cup of 5
ounces then you have to drink 2 and a
half 3 ounces of that if your cup is
only 3 ounces then you only need to
drink 1 and a half to 2 ounces so for
people who cannot tolerate wine or the
sugar in the grape juice it's important
to get the smallest cup possible and
that is 3 ounces what kind of wine
should we drink and there are 4 ideal
qualifications for wine for the Pesach
Seder and that is wine should be red if
possible not white wine should be
alcoholic not grape juice number 3 it
should be not Mevo shall not pass your
eye
if possible and number four no sugar
should be added it can have natural
sugar it can be sweet but no sugar
should be artificially added now this is
ideal but if somebody doesn't have red
wine he's allowed to use white wine if
somebody cannot tolerate alcohol he's
allowed to use grape juice if somebody
cannot use unpasteurized wine because
maybe he has non-jewish help in the
house and they cannot see uncovered wine
or because they have Jews at their Seder
who are not Shabbat observers so then
you should use pasteurized wine VI in
liver shop and if for some reason a
person cannot find wine where sugar was
not added he's allowed to use wine with
sugar added ideally we try to do it the
best way but if not possible all the
other ways are permissible now on the
second page of this collection you have
a brief summary of the seder plate which
items you have to put on it the the
lattice the the carpus vegetable which
could be either salary or radish an egg
roasted bowl haroset mixture of nuts and
dates or nuts and raisins some put
apples matzo and salt water then it
describes the main it's part of the set
and on the third page we have a brief
description of every step of the Seder
Kadesh or hot now a good advice is that
since
when people come to the said there
they're often hungry many people come
from work and they're really starving
and they don't have patience to sit and
wait to eat we eat during the Seder an
egg a hard-boiled egg in memory of Beit
HaMikdash because with the time of Beit
HaMikdash we used to bring two offerings
one the Corbin Pesa the passive offering
and one was called hagigah offering
festival offering instead of passive
offering we eat a few common we eat the
last piece of matzah at the end of the
Seder this way we remember that the
pastor offering was eaten on a almost
full stomach at the end of the meal so
that the taste of the korban Pesach
would stay with you through the night
that is why when we have a comment we
cannot eat anything after that and we
cannot drink anything except for water
or the cups of wine that I required what
do we eat instead of hagigah for that we
eat a hard-boiled egg now when do we eat
it some people eat it right before a few
comments some people either sometime at
the beginning of the Seder when we
finish Haggadah but it's recommended to
eat this hard-boiled egg at the very
beginning and that is when we finish
kaduche before washing our hands after
you finish kaduche everybody drank wine
leaning on their side you distribute the
hard-boiled eggs you say AHA called me
abattoir o on the egg and you eat the
egg in commemoration of destruction of
the Potomac - and commemoration of the
hagigah offerings that we brought when
we had botanic - this way you give
people some food and they satisfy the
hunger and they have patience to
continue eating so you can give them one
egg if they want you can give them two
eggs and
after they finish their eggs they can
they should say Boren if a short
blessing the after blessing and
afterwards you go wash all huts you wash
hands without the blessing you you take
a small piece of car pass this piece
should be less than a COS ID so that you
don't have to say after blessing you say
but I pray Adama you dip it into salt
water and you eat it this you don't have
to eat leading because it represents the
tears of the Jewish people the salty
tears then we take the middle marks and
we split it and we start the Hagaddah
the maggie'd portion of Hagaddah where
we say we speak about the exodus the the
McCord the plagues and the three main
things of the Seder what are the three
main things that if you didn't say you
didn't fulfill yourself they are on one
of the pages on the right side this is
called Megiddo obligations of the
holiday if somebody is limited on time
as long as you say the contents of this
page and you understand them you fulfill
your mitzvot and they are to speak about
what is Pesa offering why do we bring
peso offering why do we eat matzah and
why do it ma role if you need to say
Haggadah for somebody who is sick or you
have children and they are tired just
say this or you have people at the Seder
who are impatient say this make sure
they hear the message and then you can
let them eat so my kid if possible
should be said in the language that you
understand the Haggadah the entire
Haggadah should be said or heard by
everybody present both men and women and
therefore if women have to go into the
kitchen and they miss some of the
Haggadah they should have their own
Haggadah in the language they understand
and then read it on their own
they can be ahead they can be behind and
then catch up later
it's fine as long as they read the
entire thing and if for some reason they
cannot read the entire thing as long as
they read the page that I showed you
about peso Martin Maher or they will
fulfill their obligation then we drink
our second cup again leaning and you
have to make sure that whenever you eat
matzah whenever you drink wine and by
correc by the sandwich you lean on your
left side and you should lean not in air
but you should you should either lean on
the handle of your armchair or on the
table or on your neighbor but you cannot
lean or just in air just pretend that's
not called leaning there are some
communities where women don't lean not
because it's not sneeze but because in
those communities it's considered that a
woman should not lean in front of her
husband not not because it's nude for
different reason but in our communities
the custom is for women to lean as well
as well as for children the only time
when one would not be required to lean
is a student in if he is in front of his
Rebbe
the Rebbe from which he learned majority
of his wisdom out of Honor for the Rebbe
it's not proper to be lying or half
lying and therefore a student in front
of his Rebbe would not but everyone else
would and even in such a case if the
Arabia would give him permission to lean
he would still lean okay then after we
finished the Haggadah and we finish the
the maggot portion of it
we drink the second cup and we don't say
a blessing for it and we wash hands
second time and this time with a
blessing and then we make blessing for
matzah we lean and and eat it one key
side and as we said you should make
pre-measure 20
grams or even 15 grams of matzah or if
you didn't pre-measure
it's half of machine matzah that is 15
grams or 1/3 of hand mansome that is a
cos I'd okay and then we eat the
Marauder we make a blessing you don't
lean from a rod and then you make a
sandwich matzo Mar or and you dip it
into haroset the mixture of nuts and the
dates or nuts and raisins or nuts and
apples and after you eat the quarter for
which you live you eat the main meal yes
yes if somebody is allergic to nuts then
you don't it just has to be a mixture
that is thick and you that you mix it
with wine preferably so if your son is
allergic to nuts then just take dates
raisins apples mix it with a little bit
wine as long as it's thick mixture that
reminds us of the mortar that we used
for bricks in Egypt and make sure you
finish yourself by hot salt which is the
halacha
midnight this year it's 12:55 a.m. and
by that time you have to finish not only
your dessert you should also finish off
your comment which means plan that you
should stop the meal by around 12:30 so
that you can quickly the dessert and
quickly take out a few common and eat
afikoman if you cannot find out for
common or your children don't wanna give
it up you can use any math so far if
your comment doesn't have to be the one
that you hit and again after you eat a
few comment you cannot eat anything and
you can only drink that the last two
cups of wine and afterwards you can only
drink water and no other liquid so if
you need to drink tea or coffee
drink it during your meal
it's you have to be careful not to
overeat because after the entire meal
you still have to eat another keziah t
of matzah and you still have to drink 2
more cups of wine and afterwards we say
be ricotta Mazzone with a cup of wine
and at the end of the Ottoman we drink
that cup of wine leaning on the left and
then we say we finish the Hallel with
halal agador and with hizmet called high
mood estaba and afterwards we drink the
fourth cup of wine and then the near
it's a portion of the Seder comes where
we ask Hashem to accept our Seder and
our prayers instead of the Corbyn Pesa
instead of our service in base
immigrants because we don't have the
beta me - so as Hashem to accept our
said for which we sing songs and we say
stories about the exodus now let's
quickly go through pacer clean
there are two areas in the house that we
have to clean kitchen and everything
else everywhere else we just do general
cleaning which means we have to make
sure there is no Hammad's greater than a
COS ID and just like we said for matzo
different opinions anywhere from 10
grams 12 grams 15 grams so you have to
make sure you don't have any piece of
hummus that is a volume of an olive
which is about 10 grams of dry bread in
the kitchen you have to be much more
strict because you're dealing with food
that potentially can get into your pacer
food and that you might eat has a shell
so everywhere else you're only concerned
about large pieces of comets pieces of
comments that will if you have them you
will violate the commandment not to
possess comments and you only violate it
if you have an achy side or more which
is for us for this purpose 10 grams
however in the kitchen we have to make
sure there is not even a crumb that the
hummus is not stuck anywhere so we're
going to go through different kitchen
appliances and utensils and how to clean
them number one make it easier for
yourself and only clean things that
you're actually going to use for Pesa
anything that you're not planning to use
for Pesach
just close it and sell it everything
that you're planning to sell you don't
have to clean so decide which cabinets
you need for your peso food and for your
peso dishes empty them and clean them
all the other closets that have your
year long dishes and food just tape them
right on it that it's sold and you don't
have to clean them at
all you don't have to clean your dishes
that you're not gonna eat from from on
Pesach just put it away and sell it and
therefore you'll only have a few closets
to clean your counter your appliances
and your table so let's go through it
ideally it's good to have all up
utensils and pots and pans special for
Pesa
if a person can afford to buy them and
if a person has space to store them
however if a person cannot afford to buy
them or he doesn't have space to store
them then you need to culture your
regular utensils so how do you do that
we have two general methods of caution
one is called haggle ah which is boiling
in water and we have Lee Boone which is
burning in fire so we don't do Lee Boone
except for the oven if you have
self-cleaning oven you set it for the
self-cleaning cycle and after the four
hours that our oven is kosher while it's
going through the self-cleaning oven you
can use the opportunity and put whatever
else you need to kasha in it for example
if you have stainless steel spoons forks
ladles pots and pans grades you can put
it all into the self-cleaning oven and
it's going to come out kosher if your
oven is not self-cleaning then you just
wash it well with detergent and then set
it for the highest temperature for one
hour yes if your self-cleaning you don't
have to wait one to 24 hours and you
don't have to clean it because it burns
everything however if you don't have
self-cleaning you have to wait 24 hours
and you have to wash it next microwave
again don't use for 24 hours clean it
well with soap place a glass
cup or ball with water with a little bit
of soap diluted in it and turn the
microwave on as long as it takes for the
entire microwave to be filled with steam
afterwards remove the ball and wipe the
microwave clean the glass tray inside
the microwave only needs to be washed
with soap stovetop how do you crush a
stove top for Pesa there are three
methods either if you have small grades
you take a small piece of aluminum foil
like this sheet of paper you put it
directly on top of the grate you turn it
on the highest for two minutes and then
you turn off the fire and it's ready
then you take this aluminum foil and you
put it on the next grade however if you
have large grades that cover the entire
oven then you cannot do it because the
aluminum foil and the heat underneath
will only go certain area it's not going
to spread the entire surface so then you
have two options either take the grades
put them into the self-cleaning oven
when you self clean it or take them
after cleaning them put them into your
sink and pour boiling water on them in
the same and that's it yes
yeah so your grades cover the entire yes
right because the foil will only produce
enough heat to kasha
the area above the fire but area that is
further away will not be kasha but it's
not hard just to put it in a sink and
pour boiling water on it next is
electric stovetop if you don't have gas
you have electric stovetop all you have
to do is to turn it to the maximum heat
until it turns red hot and it's going to
be kosher automatically the area on the
stove between burners we consider not
kosher and we don't put any food there
one way to use it is to cover it with
aluminum foil and then it's clean then
you can put your pots and pans and if
the food falls on it it's okay otherwise
if it's uncovered and the food falls and
you should not use that food platter
electric warming tray for Shabbat you
have to use it only in the covered way
in a car covered with aluminum foil and
even that after cleaning it with sponge
and soap dishwasher you clean it well if
it has any filter trap for for food
you clean it requires you to pour
boiling water on the counter if you have
granite marble counters you can do that
if you don't you afraid that the counter
will
rooo get ruined then you can cover the
counter either with heavy aluminum foil
or more advisable to use thick plastic
next is hot water urn if the hot water
urn is clean you were careful not to
splash hummons food on it and not to put
hummus on top over to warm up it's clean
it never came into contact with Hamid
from the outside even you can just wash
it on the outside and you can use it for
Pesa and it would also be advisable to
wash the spout however if you ever put
bread on top of your urn or if hot
hummus spilled onto the side of the wall
you should not use that urn for Pesa get
a separate one alternatively if a person
doesn't have hot water earn on Pesa you
can just fill up a pot with water and
keep it on a stove if it's shabad you
would have to use a black covered flame
if it's Yom Tov you don't need to black
you can just keep a pot on fire for hot
water now small utensils for metal
utensils which are stainless steel cast
iron or aluminum utensils that I used
with hot food with water you can boil
them in water how do you do that
you fill up a large pot and it can be
any pot as long as it wasn't used in the
last 24 hours and it's clean it can be
even your regular pot you fill it up
with water and when it boils you drop
your utensils in it and you keep them in
it until the water boils again once it
boils you can
them out and put them into cold water
what can be put in there as we said
metal what about other your materials
you can also boil wooden in utensils of
course first you have to scrub them to
make sure you remove all the food that
stuck to it and what about plastic there
is a an argument about plastic some
authorities do not allow you to boil to
kasha plastic some allowed if a person
needs it's recommended not to kasha
plastic because it's cheap and also when
we see that plastic does absorb more
than glass however if person does not
have any other option he is allowed to
boil plastic utensils the same is with
enamel ideally we don't boil enamel we
don't culture enano however a person has
to he should boil it three times which
means you put it into the boiling water
you take it out and then you again you
put it in and out and in and out three
times both for plastic and the novel
keep the item in the boiling water a
little bit longer than metal because
since they absorb more give them chance
to expel all the non kosher food in it
this should be done before Pesa if
you're cutting all paths suck then there
are extra precautions that you have to
take so therefore it's advisable to
kasha everything you need before Pesa
what about glass are going to Safari
glass does not absorb and therefore you
don't have to boil it all you have to do
is wash it with soap and then you can
use it for Pesa and during the year you
can use it both for meat and milk for
example if you have glass cups you can
use them for your dairy meal and you can
you
for your meat meal as long as you wash
them in between porcelain china is
something that we do not caution or
utensils that are made from like mugs
made from clay
what about refrigerator
since the refrigerator is always used
with cold food for safar them it's
enough just to wipe all the air all the
surfaces with soap make sure it doesn't
have any crumbs you wash everything with
soap and it's good you don't have to
cover the the shelves you don't have to
cover the sides utensils that were only
used with cold food they don't require
cash ring you just wash them with soap
for example kiddush cups that you use
throughout the year you can just wash
them with soap and use them for paisa
what about your table the table you
should wash with soap the surface and
then use a tablecloth whether it's cloth
or plastic table cover that's enough for
Safari
you should replace your toothbrushes you
don't have to boil your dentures and any
item that you may bring to the table
needs to be clean if there are any books
that you're planning to bring to the
table on Pesa you have to clean them
check them for hummus
shake them out if you're not planning to
bring those particular books to the
table you don't have to clean them
because it's unlikely that you're gonna
find a large chunk of hummus inside the
book and therefore as long as it doesn't
come and touch contact with food it's
not a problem
don't worry about your bookshelves yes
Ashkenazim are more strict they go
through all the books but was fighting
we don't have to clean the books however
you do need to clean your pockets of
your coats your jackets pants shirts
especially children and their knapsacks
and again if you're selling your hummus
you can just put all knapsacks of your
children into one room into one closet
and sell the whole thing this way you
don't have to bother cleaning the
knapsack since they don't need them on
peso anyway they don't go to school
let's make it easier for yourself just
like you clean your house you have to
clean your workplace you have to clean
your office you have to clean your
cubicle or desk at work and you have to
clean your car and just like you do
batik on the night before Pesa for your
house you also need to check your car
that same night and if your office is
close by you should travel to your
office and do batik are there as well
now let's go through some food and
medicine
so in your folders you have a few papers
number one you have the paper from Jaso
our it's a Sephardic list of Passover
items non-food and food that are good
for Pesach even if they don't have
special husband for pizza look through
it some things are for certain companies
certain brands some things it doesn't
matter then at the end on the last page
you have a list of stores where you can
buy commenced after Pesa that's at the
end and somewhere towards the end you
have a list of certain medicines that
you can use by the way please make a
note that if you need vitamins or
supplements there's a company called
freedom fr EE da and all their vitamins
and supplements are kosher for Pesach
for Safari so if you need any vitamin C
vitamin this and that you can get Frieda
and you can use it throughout paisa
then you have this page that lists baby
food nutritional supplements and some
medicines coconut milk and soy milk and
majority of infant formulas are okay for
paisa but check this list if it's if it
appears on this list it's permitted and
finally you have this list on both sides
of the page food items that do not
require special certification for
Passover on one side and on the other
side non-food items that do not require
Passover certification for example any
aluminum foil any soap detergent candles
charcoal
any shampoo or conditioner most
cosmetics any paper napkins paper towels
plastic utensils containers plates all
those are fine and it has many many more
that if you see there it doesn't have to
have hashgacha then in addition the
general rule for medication for
medicines is if it is a pill or a tablet
which you swallow and it doesn't have
taste you're allowed to take it on Pesa
there are more stringent views but this
is allowed for safari so all swallow
pills and capsules are allowed for more
medicines that do have taste you can
either check in the Jaso our list it has
some medicines there or check the the
the our online crc list of medicines
start a list of medicines or you list of
medicines that list a lot of medicines
that are commonly used and is going to
tell you if it has hummus or if it has
kidney owed for Hodgkin Azam they try
not to eat kidney out first for them
only commences the problem now
one more point and
that is the difference between
Ashkenazim and Sephardim about kidney or
Ashkenazim don't eat any kidney oat
including rice and beans peas
however safar them the general Halleck
of a Sephardic is that you are allowed
to eat kidney odd rice and everything
else
only five grains are forbidden the five
grains that can become commence wheat
spelled rye oats and barley barley
everything else is not commenced however
various communities took upon themselves
stringencies whom rod of not eating
various kidney owed some communities
don't eat rice but they eat beans some
communities eat rice but they don't eat
beans
some communities don't eat not rice not
beans and some communities eat rice and
beans I'm talking about Sephardic and so
depending which community you came from
that is the your custom however
according to Rabbi to yourself and
account rabbi itzhak Israeli and
according to Rabbi any urban hyeme
Buhari and Jews that came to Israel they
should follow the general Sephardim in
hog they can eat everything and the
barns that came to America they should
ideally do hot arid Nigeria which means
you go in front of three people three
men and you say until now I kept this
mean hug and now I I realized that it it
was not hahaha
it was just a min hug and that we didn't
have to keep it and it's difficult for
me I would like to change it if I knew
that it was gonna be difficult I
wouldn't take it upon myself and they
will say to you from now on you're
permitted to eat kidney on so if
possible go and do hatred Nigeria or
your husband
representative can go and do that on the
trim for the family and from then on you
will be able to eat all kidney owed that
is recommended because this way you will
be able to take advantage of so many
products that are becoming available on
the market for safari and it's going to
be easier for you and for your children
until then if you didn't do hot iron
under him and if you still want to keep
the stricter min hug of eating only rice
and not eating corn and beans
keep that min hug but if your children
want to eat hummus or tahina
or corn and you find these are these
items kosher for Passover you can be
lenient for children under Bar Mitzvah
but it is perfectly permitted to do hot
arid Nigeria and even for yourself
start eating kidney yacht we finish with
this if you have questions you all come
to ask ok now very important is to keep
my phone number handy this is listed on
a general pace at cleaning notes it has
my number and rabbi mordechai crafts
number you can text us or call us if you
have any questions about peso or any
other questions about halakhah or
judaism and you can share these folders
this information with your friends and
you can share my phone number with your
friends and you everyone should have hot
cash of a Samir don't forget that this
holiday is specifically for children
give them attention explain to them how
the Jewish people came out from Egypt
explain to them how you and your parents
came out from Russia and give them
inspiration that in their own lives they
will be able to overcome challenges and
persecution and
and anti-semitism and they should know
that they are loved by Hashem that they
are the chosen of Hashem that Hashem
protects them and helps them and also
make sure that you rest before each
setter that you have strength to follow
to enjoy it
