As we learned (above, 3:4), one fulfills the mitzva of bi\u2019ur \u1e25ametz<\/strong> (disposing of \u1e25ametz<\/strong>) in two ways, in action and in thought. The process of bi\u2019ur \u1e25ametz<\/strong> involves four stages. The first two, bedika <\/strong>and the first bitul<\/strong>, are performed on the evening of the 14th of Nisan. The second two stages, bi\u2019ur <\/strong>and the second bitul<\/strong>, take place the following morning. Having discussed the laws relating to bedikat<\/strong> \u1e25ametz<\/strong> in the previous chapter, we shall now address bitul \u1e25ametz<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

After bedikat<\/strong> \u1e25ametz<\/strong>, we immediately rid ourselves of the \u1e25ametz<\/strong> by nullifying it mentally. To make this process easier, a formal declaration of nullification \u2013 bitul \u1e25ametz<\/strong> \u2013 was composed. This declaration is in Aramaic because it was composed at a time when most Jews understood only Aramaic. It reads (according to the Ashkenazic rite):<\/p>\n

Kol \u1e25amira ve-\u1e25ami\u2019a de-ika bi-rshuti, de-lo \u1e25azitei u-delo bi\u2019artei, li-vtil u-lehavi hefker ke-afra de-ar\u2019a.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This declaration can also be said in Hebrew:<\/p>\n

Kol \u1e25ametz u-se\u2019or she-yesh bi-rshuti, she-lo re\u2019itiv ve-shelo bi\u2019artiv, yivatel ve-yehei hefker ke-afar ha-aretz.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In English:<\/p>\n

All \u1e25ametz<\/strong> and leaven in my possession that I have not seen and have not eliminated shall be nullified and become ownerless, like the dust of the earth.<\/p>\n

The Sephardic version mentions only \u1e25ametz<\/strong>, which includes leaven, and only nullification, which includes renunciation of ownership (see \u1e24azon Ovadia<\/strong>, p. 32).<\/p>\n

Following the actual bi\u2019ur \u1e25ametz<\/strong> on the morning of the 14th (see section 3 below), we perform a second bitul \u1e25ametz<\/strong>. Even though we already annulled the \u1e25ametz<\/strong> at night, after the bedika<\/strong>, that bitul <\/strong>applied only to \u1e25ametz<\/strong> we did not find in our search, and of which we remain unaware. It cannot, however, apply to the \u1e25ametz<\/strong> we still intend to eat, since such \u1e25ametz<\/strong> is important to us. We likewise cannot nullify the \u1e25ametz<\/strong> we found in our search, because we intend to dispose of this by burning. Moreover, applying our evening bitul \u1e25ametz<\/strong> to the \u1e25ametz<\/strong> we still plan to eat would reveal the insincerity of our bitul<\/strong> and render it ineffective.<\/p>\n

Therefore, in the evening we nullify only the \u1e25ametz<\/strong> we did not find in our search, not the \u1e25ametz<\/strong> we set aside for the remaining \u1e25ametz <\/strong>meals and to be burned. But since we might misplace or overlook some of this remaining \u1e25ametz<\/strong>, so that we do not violate bal yera\u2019eh <\/strong>and bal yimatzei<\/strong>, we nullify the \u1e25ametz<\/strong> a second time. One must make sure to nullify the \u1e25ametz<\/strong> by the end of the fifth seasonal hour of the day, for with the onset of the sixth seasonal hour it is forbidden to derive any benefit from \u1e25ametz<\/strong>, and it can no longer be nullified (SA 434:2).<\/p>\n

The wording of the morning nullification is slightly different from that of the evening. In the evening we nullify only the \u1e25ametz<\/strong> that was not found during the search, while in the morning we nullify the \u1e25ametz<\/strong> in its entirety. It reads:<\/p>\n

Kol \u1e25amira ve-\u1e25ami\u2019a de-ika bi-rshuti, de-\u1e25azitei u-delo \u1e25azitei, de-bi\u2019artei u-delo bi\u2019artei, li-vtil u-lehavi hefker ke-afra de-ar\u2019a.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This declaration can also be said in Hebrew:<\/p>\n

Kol \u1e25ametz u-se\u2019or she-yesh bi-rshuti, she-re\u2019itiv ve-shelo re\u2019itiv, she-bi\u2019artiv ve-shelo bi\u2019artiv, yivatel ve-yehei hefker ke-afar ha-aretz.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Or in English:<\/p>\n

All \u1e25ametz<\/strong> and leaven in my possession that I have seen and that I have not seen, that I have destroyed and that I have not destroyed, shall be nullified and become ownerless, like the dust of the earth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
