He begins with Bitul (nullification): normally, a prohibited item is nullified in a 1:60 ratio of permitted food, allowing the mixture if the prohibited amount is tiny and mixed immediately (e.g., a drop of milk in chicken soup). On Pesach, however, the rules are stricter: before Pesach (until nightfall), chometz follows standard Bitul (discard the kernel and the rest is kosher for Pesach). Once Pesach begins, even a minute amount of Chometz prohibits the entire mixture for eating and benefit (hana'ah)—one cannot sell, feed animals, or derive pleasure from it; a rabbinic authority must be consulted. Additional laws include: avoiding singeing fowl over grain-straw (concern for Chometz flavor); prohibiting Kitniyot (legumes/rice/corn etc.) for Ashkenazim due to potential grain mixture or confusion with chometz flour (a binding custom, not followed by Sephardim); caution with dried fruits/spices (cloves/saffron often forbidden); permitting matzah ashira (kneaded with fruit juice/eggs/milk) only in pressing need (e.g., for the ill), but not for the Seder mitzvah of matzah (requires water-kneaded); restrictions on benefiting from chometz (no profit from rental/transport of chometz items, no feeding animals chometz); and special leniencies (e.g., telling a non-Jewish worker to buy/eat chometz with repayment, or renting space/animals without specifying chometz use). The episode stresses consulting a rav for specifics and notes modern ease with certified kosher-for-Passover products. _____________ The Everyday Judaism Podcast is dedicated to learning, understanding and appreciating the greatness of Jewish heritage and the Torah through the simplified,…","meta_description":"In this halacha-focused episode preparing for Pesach, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe reviews key laws from Kitzur Shulchan Aruch Siman 117.
