● Latest time to eat chametz: 10:59am● Latest time to destroy chametz: 12:16am● Destroying Chametz This Year — Generally, our custom is that chametz is destroyed on Erev Pesach by burning it. There are two concerns that arise from families burning their own chametz: 1) the safety risk 2) when people make small fires, the heat is not intense enough to burn the chametz all the way to the center and sometimes people are left with edible chametz that they did not realize was still there. Therefore, for this year, we recommend the following guidelines:
- Limit the amount of leftover chametz in your possession on the morning of Erev Pesach: A small amount of chametz (no more than a k’zayis, about one half of a slice of bread, is needed) should be crushed into tiny particles, so as to not clog the plumbing, and flushed (without any bags or wrapping) down the toilet. 2. Other chametz should be disposed of in the trash and left in cans at the curb.
● Eruv Tavshilin should be prepared. For the blessing click HERE and for a brief overview click HERE
