Bedikat Chametz A Pre Passover Family Fun Search We conduct a veritable “search and destroy” mission to find any remaining chametz in our home and eradicate it. known as bedikat chametz (בְּדִיקַת חָמֵץ), the search is traditionally conducted with a beeswax candle, using a feather, wooden spoon, and a paper bag for collecting any chametz found. One of the many fun customs associated with passover is to search for, collect, and destroy any chametz (leavening or grain that ferments) in the house. children are particularly enthusiastic about this “search and destroy” mission.
Searching For Chametz Walder Education Before passover begins, some jewish homes participate in a special tradition called bedikat chametz, the search for chametz (leavened foods like bread or crumbs). In this situation, all the rules of bedikas chametz apply fully (e.g. searching at nightfall, not working or eating beforehand), with two exceptions: 1) a blessing is not recited, 2) it is not necessary to distribute ten pieces of bread. Chametz, we are told, represents the evil impulse within us. the complex, laborious, time consuming activities of searching for and destroying our chometz demonstrate to ourselves how meticulous we need to be in purging ourselves of our inner evil. The night before pesach, the fourteenth of nissan, is designated for searching for chametz. this search and removal process is called bedikat chametz. it is a rabbinic mitzvah that begins with a bracha and concludes with nullifying the chametz, bitul chametz, and followed up burning the chametz, biur chametz.
