The process of removal consists of four stages: inspection (<strong>bedika<\/strong>), nullification (<strong>bitul<\/strong>), elimination (<strong>bi\u2019ur<\/strong>), and nullification once again. Let us describe this in detail.<\/p>\n<p>The process begins with the <strong>bedika <\/strong>on the evening of the 14th. The search is aimed at ensuring that we have no more <strong>\u1e25ametz<\/strong> in our home other than the <strong>\u1e25ametz<\/strong> that we are keeping to eat and to destroy. Immediately after the search, we nullify the <strong>\u1e25ametz<\/strong> for the first time, and in doing so we eliminate the <strong>\u1e25ametz <\/strong>in thought. The next morning, we physically destroy the remaining <strong>\u1e25ametz<\/strong> in our possession in deed. It is customary to destroy it by burning it. After the burning, one nullifies any <strong>\u1e25ametz<\/strong> in his possession for a second time, thus completing the process of eliminating <strong>\u1e25ametz<\/strong> in thought.<\/p>\n<p>There are two more possible ways of disposing of <strong>\u1e25ametz<\/strong>: selling it to a gentile and declaring it ownerless. As noted, one violates <strong>bal yera\u2019eh<\/strong> and <strong>bal yimatzei<\/strong> only for <strong>\u1e25ametz<\/strong> in his possession, and it is only <strong>\u1e25ametz<\/strong> that is in his possession that he is commanded to eliminate. Thus, if he sells the <strong>\u1e25ametz<\/strong> to a gentile or declares it ownerless, he does not violate any prohibition on its account.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, search, disposal, and nullification are actions directed against the <strong>\u1e25ametz<\/strong> with the aim of eliminating it. In contrast, declaring the <strong>\u1e25ametz<\/strong> ownerless and selling are not directed against the <strong>\u1e25ametz <\/strong>to destroy it, but rather their aim is to remove the <strong>\u1e25ametz<\/strong> from our possession so that we do not violate the <strong>\u1e25ametz<\/strong> prohibitions. With the search, the disposal, and the nullification, we wage war against the <strong>\u1e25ametz<\/strong>, whereas by selling it or declaring it ownerless, we evade the responsibility it places upon us. These are all ways to remove the <strong>\u1e25ametz<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Now that we have learned the principles of the mitzva of removing the <strong>\u1e25ametz<\/strong>, in the coming <strong>halakhot<\/strong> we will explain the laws of removal of <strong>\u1e25ametz <\/strong>in detail. We will begin with the <strong>halakhot<\/strong> of the search for <strong>\u1e25ametz<\/strong>, with which we begin our campaign against <strong>\u1e25ametz<\/strong>. We will then continue on to the <strong>halakhot<\/strong> of nullifying and destroying <strong>\u1e25ametz<\/strong>. Then we will address the laws of selling <strong>\u1e25ametz<\/strong> to a gentile for one who wishes to preserve the value of his <strong>\u1e25ametz<\/strong> and free himself from the need to destroy it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we have learned (section 4, above), we eliminate \u1e25ametz from our homes both in deed and in thought.
