We do not bless before we nullify chametz; the act of nullification depends on the intentions in one’s heart and one is not required to utter any words and no deed is involved at all, and one does recite a blessing on any mitzvah which is devoid of action, as we wrote in the introduction to this book. We do not bless upon searching for chametz, because that is a rabbinic mitzva. After the bedikah, one must say, “All chametz that is in my possession that I have not seen and I have not destroyed, and about which I do not know, shall be nullified and considered like dust.” One should not say, “that is in this house,” but “that is in my possession,” as one might possess chametz in a different location. You might ask: Why does one need to check for chametz in the corners and remove it from his house, which is more than is required for other forbidden items, such as the forbidden fat of an animal and meat that was not ritually slaughtered? You might answer that people separate from forbidden fat and meat that was not ritually slaughtered throughout the year, so we do not worry lest one accidentally partake of them, but one normally eats chametz and so we must worry. However, the question still stands, as we do not require a nazir to remove wine from his possessions even though he only separates himself from it during the time of his vow. Furthermore, even though we eat grain all year round, and the new grains are forbidden to be eaten until the 16th of Nisan even in the Diaspora, we are not required to remove it from our houses! Rather, we may explain that we are stringent regarding chametz because the Torah itself warned us more regarding chametz than regarding other mitzvot, prohibiting us from seeing chametz or having it found in our possession. Therefore, our Sages were more stringent and required us to perform bedikah to ensure we do not have a stumbling block. You can see that this is true from the fact that non-chametz prohibited foods are forbidden [in a mixture] as long as they can be tasted. This even applies to wine used for libations to an idol; though even a minimal quantity of such wine prohibits wine into which it is mixed, it only prohibits other substances into which it is mixed so long as it can be tasted. On the other hand, any minimal amount of Chametz, in mixtures with both similar and dissimilar substances, prohibits the entire entity Evening Service First Part of the Seder The Haggadah Second Part of the Seder Festival Prayers Customs for the Days of the Counting (Sefirah) Shavuot Fasts Prayers Tishah B'Av Rosh HaShanah Prayers Blowing the Shofar Musaf Yom Kippur Yom Kippur Eve Kol Nidrei Confession Prayers Sukkot and Shemini Atzeret First Days Hoshana Rabba Shmini Atzeret Hebrew Calendar Introduction Gate of Moladot (Initial Appearances) Gate of Designations and Postponements Gate of Designations of the Years Order of Parashiot and Haftarot Calendar Patterns Gate of Seasons (Tekufot) Laws of Blessings Introduction First Gate; Blessing on Bread Second Gate; Mezonot (Grain Products) Third Gate; Shehakol (Everything) Fourth Gate; Ha'adama (Fruit of the Ground) Fifth Gate; Ha'etz (Fruit of the Tree) Sixth Gate; Food During and After the Meal Seventh Gate; Blessings on Scents Eighth Gate; Blessings of Praise and Thanksgiving Ninth Gate; Blessings on Commandments Circumcision Redeeming a Firstborn Redeeming Neta Revai Betrothal Blessing Marriage Blessings Mourning Mezuzah, Parapet, Covering Blood and Separation of Challah Eruvin Havinenu and Short Prayer Nail Cutting Concluding Poems |
