““TTHHEE WWIICCKKEEDD SSOONN

IINN IISSRRAAEELL””

Minchah will be at 7:00pm followed by Seudah Shlishit

From the Rav’s desk: LAWS OF PESACH Please Note: Due to the

multitude of laws gov-

erning the Pesach Yom

Tov and its preparation, the digested

laws that follow should be viewed

solely as a summary of the halachos

pertaining to the proper observance

of the holiday. Please contact me for

any further information concerning

any doubtful halachic decision.

Shabbat Hagadol Shabbat Hagadol commemorates the

Jews tying the lamb to their bedposts

on Shabbat, the 10th Nissan, five days

before leaving Egypt. When the

Egyptians inquired about this unusual

use of the Egyptian god, they were

informed that the Jews were going to

offer it as a korban (sacrifice) to G-d.

The Egyptians were powerless to

intercede, and no Jew was harmed. It

is customary on this Shabbat for all

to attend the Rav’s drashah, tradi-

tionally focused upon a Pesach

theme.

The Haftarah for Shabbat hagadol

speaks about the coming of Mashiach

on the “great” seminal day of the

Hakadosh Baruch Hu (Malachi

3:23).

Chametz Chametz results when one of the five

types of grain (wheat, barley, rye

oats, spelt) or their derivatives is

permitted to maintain undisturbed

contact with water for a period of 18

minutes or longer. Extracts of cho-

metz, alcoholic fermentation, foods

processed in chometz, utensils, and

chometz admixtures are halachically

considered chometz as well. The To-

rah forbids an individual to eat, pos-

sess or derive benefit from chometz

during the Pesach Yom Tov. Ashke-

nazi Jews refrain from partaking of

legumes (beans, corn, rice, peas) –

kitniyos – and their admixtures dur-

ing Pesach.

Removal of Chametz Prior to Pesach, one must remove all

chometz from one’s properties and

jurisdiction. This is accomplished

through the following processes:

Mechirat Chametz (the Sale of Chametz) 1. All forms of chametz not

destroyed must be transferred to a

Gentile before the end of the “fifth

hour” on the 14th Nissan. This is

normally done through the sale of

chometz via the Rav as appointed

agent for this sale. The sale is bona

fide in nature and transfers posses-

sion of all chametz to the Gentile,

accompanied by the subleasing of the

property on which the chometz is to

be found. The non-Jew should be

allowed free access to the property

and items he has purchased.

2. Chametz utensils are rented

and their contents are sold. (Sale of

utensil would require immersion if

and when acquired.)

Bedikat Chametz (The Search) 1. After tzait hakochavim (ap-

pearance of 3 stars) on the evening of

14th Nissan (or evening prior to tak-

ing leave of one’s residence within

30 days of Pesach), one must dili-

gently search for chometz in all areas

in which it may have been stored or

eaten. This search is not ceremonial

in nature and should include such

places as: closets, toasters, medicine

cabinets, clothes, cars, toy chests,

vacuum bags, etc. As such, proper

time must be allotted to the search.

This year the search is conducted

on Sunday evening 24 March, after

8.05 PM.

1. No work, study, or meal

should be commenced within ½ hr

prior to the search.

2. The search should be facili-

tated by the aid of a single-wick can-

dle.

3. Prior to the search, the bless-

ing al biyur chometz is recited. It is a

custom for some to scatter 10 pieces

of bread throughout the house prior

to the bedikah. The mere collection

of these morsels should not be mis-

construed as the fulfillment of the

search.

Bittul HeChametz (Nullification) After the search, Kol Chamiroh is

recited, renouncing title to any cho-

metz not already set aside for either

the next morning’s breakfast, sale or

destruction. One who does not under-

stand Aramaic should recite Kol

Chamiroh in his native tongue.

The English translation of the Ara-

maic formula for Bitul Chometz re-

cited after the burning follows: I

HEREBY DECLARE ALL LEAV-

EN AND CHOMETZ IN MY POS-

SESSION WHICH I HAVE DIS-

COVERED OR NOT DISCOV-

ERED OF WHICH I AM AWARE

AND OF WHICH I AM NOT

AWARE, TO BE NAUGHT AND

AS DUST OF THE EARTH.

Biur Chometz (Destruction of the Chometz) Chometz found during the search,

and remaining from breakfast, must

be destroyed (preferably by fire) dur-

ing the fifth hour of the “halachical-

ly-divided 12 hour day.” This is fol-

lowed by a more encompassing bitul

nullifying all chometz seen or unseen.

This can not be recited during the

halachic sixth hour of the day when

the use of chometz and its benefits

are already forbidden. The Rabbinic

prohibition for eating chometz begins

with the commencement of the ha-

lachic fifth hour of the day.

Eating Matzah on Erev Pesach 1. It is forbidden to eat matzoh

usable at the seder or consume wine

on erev Pesach. One may eat fish,

fruit, and meat in moderate amounts

that will not detract from his appetite

for the Seder Matzoh.

2. When erev Pesach falls on a

weekday tedious and or profitable

work should not be engaged in after

chatzos (halachic midday).

Ta’anit Bechorim. In gratitude to

the Almighty for having been spared

during the slaying of the Egyptian

first-born, first-born males fast on

erev Pesach. A father fasts on behalf

of a son too young to fast and a

mother fasts for her b’chor when the

father is a first-born as well.

Firstborns may participate in a siyum,

which enables them to eat during the

remainder of the day. This year the

fast is commemorated on Monday 25

March (14 Nisan) and the fast will

begin at 6.15 am. The Siyum will

take place at 7:05am with an addi-

tional one at 8:10am.

Matzoh 1. Shemura matzoh (i.e. matzoh

guarded from any possibility of be-

coming chometz and processed ex-

pressly for the purpose of Matzas

mitzvah) should be used during both

Seder nights for the different mitzvos

involving matzah.

2. Egg matzoh, whole wheat

matzohs made with fruit juices, and

chocolate covered matzohs should

not be eaten all Yom Tov by anyone,

excepting the sick or elderly.

Tefillot (Prayers) 1. Tachanun, tzidkascha tzedek,

fasts and eulogies are deleted during

the entire month of Nissan.

2. Mizmor l’soda and lamnat-

zai’ach are omitted on erev Pesach

and Yom Tov itself.

3. Full Hallel is recited the first

two days of Pesach. (It is a custom in

some shuls to recite the entire Hallel

on the first two nights of Pesach.)

Half Hallel is recited during the re-

mainder of the holiday.

4. Mashiv Haruach u’Morid

HaGashem is deleted beginning with

the repetition of the Musaf sh’moneh

esrai on the first day of Yom Tov.

5. Vetain Bracha is substituted

for tal u’matar in the weekday

shmoneh esrai, beginning with the

first night of Chol Hamoed.

6. Women who normally recite

shehecheyanu with the kindling of

Yom Tov candles do not recite

shehecheyanu on the last two days of

Pesach when ushering in the Yom

Tov.

7. Yaaleh Veyavo is inserted in

Birchas Hamazon during the entire

eight days. If one forgets its recita-

tion and begins the next brachah, the

entire benching must be repeated.

8. There is a dispute regarding

the wearing of tefillin during chol

hamoed. Most authorities agree that

those who are accustomed to wearing

them on these days should not recite

the two accompanying blessings.

Chametz discovered during Pesach Chometz discovered during chol ha-

moed should be immediately de-

stroyed. Chometz found during

Shabbos or Yom Tov should be cov-

ered with a vessel and destroyed after

havdalah.

Sefirat Ha-Omer (Counting the Omer) 1. Beginning with the second

night of Pesach until the night pre-

ceding Shavuos, the Omer is count-

ed, computing the days and weeks in

the enunciated formula.

2. If, during the day, one realiz-

es that s/he has forgotten to count the

preceding evening (or if s/he is

doubtful), one should count immedi-

ately without the accompanying bra-

chah. One who has entirely missed a

day (and night’s) count should con-

tinue counting without a blessing.

3. There are different customs

regarding the 33 day “mourning”

period within Sefirah. Some observe

it from Pesach until Lag B’Omer,

others observe from 1 Iyar until Sha-

vuos (except Lag B’Omer), and yet

others observe it from the first day

Rosh Chodesh Iyar till 3 Sivan (ex-

cept Lag B’Omer).

When Lag B’Omer falls on Sunday,

following Shabbat Kodesh, according

to minhag Ashkenaz, haircuts and

shaving are already permitted on Fri-

day, Erev Shabbat in honour of

Shabbat itself, like this year on on

April 26.

4. Weddings, parties, musical

entertainment, and haircutting are

prohibited during the period of

mourning. When crossing the inter-

national dateline to Australia from

the West Coast of the U.S.A. or from

Israel, one should count the “missed

day” upon returning, without a bra-

chah, and continue counting the next

day’s Omer (the evening of one’s

arrival) with a brachah.

Mechirat chametz Rabbi Sprung’s mechirat chometz

form (see attached) requires the

vendor to know exactly what he is

selling to the purchaser and the pur-

chaser must fully understand what

he is purchasing, where it is located

and have access to its usage. There-

fore, the vendor must give considera-

tion to both the content and wherea-

bouts of his chometz, including its

approximate value. As the sale of

chometz has to be recognised in beis

din as well as secular courts, the

owner of chometz must appreciate

the legal principles of this contract

(as in every contractual agreement

we enter) and, therefore, makes a

kinyan (transaction) with his agent

(the Rav) and signs a document indi-

cating such. If the owner of chometz

will be spending Yom Tov away, he

must inform his agent (the Rav) as to

the

whereabouts of keys to provide entry

to the gentile to whom the chometz

has been sold.

Rabbi Sprung will be affecting the

kinyan for mechiras chometz at the

following times:

Sunday 17 March 8.45 – 11.30am

Monday 18 March 8.00 – 9.00pm

Tuesday 19 March 8.00 – 9.00pm

Sunday 24 March 8.45 – 10:00am

Monday 25 March 8:30 – 9:30am

Forms are also available in the office.

Clear out your box! The shule is not responsible for

cleaning individual Synagogue seat

boxes and tallit bags which are under

private ownership. People must in-

dividually check and remove chametz

from their own boxes over the next

10 days.

Bin There, Done That Properties are to be free of chametz

over Pesach. There is a requirement

to remove chametz by 12.14pm (this

year) on Erev Pesach. To enable

Mizrachi members to dispose of

chametz after their regular residential

bin collection, a chametz bin will be

available in Fosbery Avenue on

Monday 25 March from 7.00 –

11.30am. Note this is for chametz

only and not for garden refuse, gen-

eral household garbage, etc. Miz-

rachi reserves the right to levy any-

one caught using the bin for anything

other than chametz.

MAOT CHITTIN APPEAL Adar 5773 February 2013 Dear Friends In the past twelve months, the Mizrachi Charity Fund dis-tributed over $120,000 to the needy and most vulnerable in our community. $120,000 in the form of food vouchers, rental & utility payments, car registrations, medication and in-terest free loans. Although to date, we have not needed to turn away any genu-ine request we have seen an alarming growth in the number of approaches to the Charity Fund. We often worry that our cash flow will not meet demand, particularly in light of the increasing number of referrals that come from Jewish Care and other communal charity organisations. This Maot Chittin Appeal ensures that food and funds can be distributed prior to Pesach. Additionally, your generous gift sustains our endeavours throughout the ensuing months and ensures that every genuine cry of help can be met promptly and sensitively. Many within our community rely on us. Please give gener-ously. Wishing you a Pesach Kasher V’Sameach Sincerely Yvonne Korbl

HARAV YAAKOV SPRUNG MARA D’ATRA MIZRACHI

SALE OF CHAMETZ – 5773/2013

The Torah prohibits us from owning any chametz during the festival of Pesach. In principle a person has the option of

consuming all his chametz before Pesach, giving it away, destroying it or renouncing ownership over it. In practice it

is often not possible to dispose of all chametz before Pesach, nor can a person be relied upon to genuinely renounce

ownership of a significant amount of chametz. Moreover, a person might even have chametz in his possession of

which he is unaware. Therefore the practice of “Selling the chametz” began nearly two thousand years ago during the

time of the Mishnah.

To ensure that all the legal requirements of a contract of sale are satisfied, it is customary to make one’s Rabbi his

agent for selling his chametz to a non-Jew. It should be noted that chametz remaining in one's possession during

Pesach is prohibited for use afterwards.

Please Complete both sides of this form and personally present it to Rabbi Sprung*** for the Halachic transaction

to be valid, ensuring that no chametz remains in your possession over Pesach.

The Chametz that I possess includes the following:
