Hayom Yom 14 Nissan - Baking Matzah Shmura on Erev Pesach
Manage episode 413741297 series 3320921
בְּדִיקַת חָמֵץ אַחַר תְּפִלַּת עַרְבִית
The search for chametz takes place after the Evening Service.
בְּבֵית רַבֵּנוּ נוֹהֲגִים שֶׁלֹּא לַעֲשׂוֹת אֶת הָרַב לְמוּרְשֶׁה
In the household of the Rebbe, it was customary not to appoint the rav as an agent to sell the chametz,
אֶלָּא לִמְכּוֹר לוֹ אֶת הֶחָמֵץ וּבְעָרֵב קַבְּלָן
but rather to sell him the chametz, [confirming the transaction even in such a case by] a fully-responsible guarantor.
בַּאֲפִיַּת הַשְּׁמוּרָה עֶרֶב פֶּסַח אַחַר חֲצוֹת, הָיָה אַאַמוּ"ר נוֹכֵחַ
My revered father, the Rebbe [Rashab], used to be present when the shemurah-matzah was baked after midday on the eve of Pesach.
וְאוֹמֵר גַּם כֵּן הַלֵּל
He would join in the Hallel [that is customarily recited at that time],
וְהָיָה מַפְסִיק — גַּם בְּאֶמְצַע פֶּרֶק
but would interrupt his recitation — even in the midst of a chapter —
לְהוֹרוֹת בְּהַנּוֹגֵעַ לְהַלִּישָׁה, אֲפִיָּה וּכְהַאי גַּוְנָא
to give directions regarding the kneading, the baking, and the like.
