Bedikat Chametz
\nIn preparation for the Passover festival, during which the possession of any kind of leavened wheat, barley, rye, oats, spelt food ("chametz") is strictly forbidden, a final search is carried out on the night of the 14th of Nisan to remove the last crumbs of "chametz" from the houses.<\/p>\n
Fasting of the firstborn
\nFirstborn children over the age of 13 fast on the 14th of Nisan in commemoration that during the "Plague of the Firstborn" (which occurred on the night of the 15th of Nisan) God skipped the Jewish firstborn when He killed the Egyptian firstborn.<\/p>\n
Limit for eating chametz
\nThe Torah (Exodus 12:15, Talmud Pesachim 5a) sets noon on the 14th of Nisan as the deadline for the destruction and\/or removal of all leavened bread ("chametz") from our possession in preparation for the Passover festival, which begins that night. Halakha (Torah law) requires that a person cease eating chametz two hours before noon and cease possessing it one hour before noon. These are not clock hours but rather proportional hours defined by Halakha as one-twelfth of the time between sunrise and sunset.<\/p>\n
Burn and nullify the chametz
\nThe \u00abchametz\u00bb is disposed of in the following ways: a) by selling it to a non-Jew; b) by burning the \u00abchametz\u00bb found during the previous night\u2019s search; c) by \u00abannulling\u00bb the \u00abchametz\u00bb that was not found by declaring it \u00abownerless.\u00bb This is done on the morning of the 14th of Nisan before the time when \u00abchametz\u00bb is forbidden.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bedikat Jametz En preparaci\u00f3n para la festividad de Pesaj, en la cual la posesi\u00f3n de cualquier tipo de alimento de trigo, cebada, centeno, avena, espelta leudado (\u00abjametz\u00bb) est\u00e1 estrictamente prohibida, se realiza una \u00faltima b\u00fasqueda al entrar la noche del 14 de Nisan para remover las \u00faltimas migajas de \u00abjametz\u00bb de las casas.
