BURN!!!!!.......their Chaumetz before Passover starts
HAPPY PASSOVER!
Put DOWN the flamethrowers-explination below:
For those who dont know anything with bread/yeast in it is banned to be eaten, or be in the house of most Jews during the holiday of Passover(which starts in 2 days, sooner Israel time). Some of it is ritualistically burned the morning of the first day of Passover.
For more information on it......
Excerpt:
"What is Chametz?
"Chametz" includes breads, cookies, cakes, pastries, noodles, macaroni, whiskey or liquor. Basically, it refers to wheat, barley, rye, oats or spelt that came into contact (for 18 minutes or more) with liquid. Eating Chametz on Passover is as severe a violation as eating on Yom Kippur.
The Chametz prohibition applies even to minute particles of Chametz, such as:
A. Food containing any Chametz, or food processed in utensils once used to process food containing Chametz. All processed foods must have a reliable Kosher for Passover Supervision.
B. We are not allowed to derive any benefit from Chametz. Example: We cannot buy, sell, or give Chametz as a gift, or use Chametz as pet food for dogs, birds, or fish. If there is no Kosher for Passover alternative, the pet must be transferred to non-Jewish ownership.
C. Any Chametz left in the house, store, or car, etc., must be transferred to gentile ownership before Passover.
All chametz found during the search, and all Chametz left from breakfast, must be burned in the (late) morning (Wednesday, March 27), followed by this declaration annulling all Chametz:
"All manner of leaven in my possession which I have seen or have not seen, which I have removed or have not removed, shall be null and void as the dust of the earth."
The Chametz Deadline
Check your calendar for the exact deadline for eating & burning Chametz the morning before Passover for your area.
Note: Any chametz found in the house during Passover must be burned immediately, unless it is on Yom Tov (1st, 2nd, 7th, or 8th day) or on Shabbos, in which case it should be covered, and burned later during the intermediate Chol Hamoed days, or after Passover.
The Sale of Chametz
To avoid owning Chametz on Passover, we sell any remaining chametz to a gentile through the rabbi.
The gentile buyer gives a deposit, and the balance is considered a loan. The Chametz sale is legally binding, but the option of paying the balance is up to the buyer, who may return it to the seller and retrieve his deposit.
Place all Chametz utensils in the room or closet(s) to be sold. These designated places should be sealed with tape or locked, not to be opened until after Passover.
Unsold Chametz
The prohibition against Chametz also applies to all Chametz owned by any Jew during Passover. It is advisable to patronize only bakeries or groceries owned by Jews who sold their Chametz, or to buy from non-Jewish owned stores. Consult a Rabbi regarding buying Chametz after Passover from supermarket chains with Jewish ownership."
DISCLAIMER: This is obviously NOT meant in racism, since I all of you know I am one of the more observant Jews on Apolyton. If ANY MODERATOR objects to this post, just delete the thread-no harm done, meant as a bit of holiday humor/information for other apolytonites(Posted this on an Israeli message board, many LOL's all around, so I figured I'd repost it here).
