If one finds \u1e25ametz<\/strong> in his possession after midday on the 14th, he must eliminate it immediately. If he forgot to nullify the \u1e25ametz<\/strong> in his possession, he is obligated by Torah law to eliminate it. Le-khat\u1e25ila <\/strong>the mitzva is to burn the \u1e25ametz<\/strong>, but if he wants, he may eliminate it in other ways. For example, he may crumble it up and scatter it into the wind, or he may break it up and flush it down the toilet. However, if he throws it into an ownerless public domain, he has accomplished nothing. Although before the sixth hour one may still renounce ownership of his \u1e25ametz<\/strong> and thus exempt himself from the obligation to eradicate it, once the sixth hour began, it became forbidden to derive benefit from the \u1e25ametz <\/strong>in his possession, and it is no longer possible to get rid of the \u1e25ametz <\/strong>and avoid the prohibitions it entails without destroying it completely.<\/p>\n

Similarly, once the prohibition has taken effect, it is no longer possible to get rid of \u1e25ametz<\/strong> simply by pouring a foul substance like bleach on it to make it unfit to be eaten by a dog. Only before the \u1e25ametz<\/strong> becomes prohibited is it possible to do so. If the \u1e25ametz<\/strong> was fit for consumption when the prohibition took effect, one is obligated to eradicate it completely. Therefore, if one finds such \u1e25ametz<\/strong> in his possession, he must burn it, scatter it in the wind, or crumble it into pieces and flush it down the toilet, in order to eliminate it. As stated, the best way to fulfill this mitzva is by burning the \u1e25ametz<\/strong>. Moreover, even after the \u1e25ametz<\/strong> has been burned, it is forbidden to derive benefit from its ashes.[5]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

If one finds \u1e25ametz<\/strong> on the first or last day(s) of Pesa\u1e25 or on Shabbat of \u1e24ol Ha-mo\u2019ed<\/strong>, he may not burn it or even carry it to the bathroom to flush it down the toilet, as \u1e25ametz <\/strong>is muktzeh <\/strong>and may not be handled. Rather, one must cover it with a container so that nobody accidentally eats it, and it must be burned as soon as possible after the Shabbat or holiday. If the same person forgot to nullify his \u1e25ametz<\/strong> before Pesa\u1e25, he violates two Torah prohibitions \u2013 bal yera\u2019eh <\/strong>and bal yimatzei<\/strong> \u2013 every moment the \u1e25ametz<\/strong> remains in his possession. In order for one to spare himself from these transgressions, according to many poskim<\/strong> he may pick up the \u1e25ametz<\/strong>, break it up somewhat, and throw it into the toilet; these poskim <\/strong>permit violating the laws of muktzeh<\/strong>, which are of rabbinic origin, in order to avoid Torah prohibitions. Nonetheless, some poskim<\/strong> take the stringent position that he should wait until Shabbat is over before eliminating the \u1e25ametz<\/strong> (MB 446:6).<\/p>\n

Regarding the berakha<\/strong>, if one finds \u1e25ametz<\/strong> during Pesa\u1e25, even though it is a mitzva to dispose of it, he does not recite a berakha<\/strong> before the bi\u2019ur<\/strong>, because the blessing he said before bedikat \u1e25ametz<\/strong> included all \u1e25ametz<\/strong> in his possession that required removal. However, if one kneads dough during Pesa\u1e25 and it becomes \u1e25ametz<\/strong>, or if one accidentally bought \u1e25ametz <\/strong>on Pesa\u1e25, he must say the berakha<\/strong> over its disposal since this \u1e25ametz<\/strong> was not in his possession before Pesa\u1e25, at the time of its bedika <\/strong>and bi\u2019ur<\/strong>, and thus the berakha<\/strong> he said then did not apply to it (see MB 435:5).<\/p>\n

\n[5]<\/a>. See n. 3, where we learned that the main dispute between R. Yehuda and the Sages is about \u1e25ametz<\/strong> that one finds after it has already become forbidden. According to the Rishonim who follow R. Yehuda, one has a mitzva to burn this \u1e25ametz<\/strong>. Even though most poskim<\/strong> follow the Sages, as quoted in SA 445:1, burning the \u1e25ametz<\/strong> is an acceptable method, especially according to R. Yoel Sirkis (Ba\u1e25<\/strong>) and Gra, who maintain that the Sages agree that the preferable method to destroy the \u1e25ametz<\/strong> is burning. This is what MB states in 445:6.<\/p>\n

Once the \u1e25ametz<\/strong> becomes forbidden, there is an obligation to destroy the \u1e25ametz<\/strong> completely, as cited in SA 442:9 and MB ad loc. <\/strong>40. Even declaring the \u1e25ametz<\/strong> ownerless does not work at this point; it only works before the \u1e25ametz<\/strong> becomes forbidden, as explained in MB 445:18. Even after the \u1e25ametz<\/strong> is burned, one is forbidden to benefit from the ashes, as explained in SA 445:2. MB 445:5 states that if one throws \u1e25ametz<\/strong> into an outhouse, it is considered destroyed. However, the outhouses in the times of MB were exceptionally filthy, and anything that was thrown there became so repulsive that it would no longer be usable in any capacity. Conversely, bread that has been discarded in a modern toilet is likely to emerge intact from the drainpipes, and would likely be fit for a dog; therefore, I wrote that if one were to discard bread this way, he should first break up the bread into smaller crumbs.<\/p>\n

Although in general any \u1e25ametz<\/strong> found on Pesa\u1e25 has already been nullified and would therefore only be rabbinically forbidden, the \u1e25ametz<\/strong> must still be destroyed, as would any \u1e25ametz<\/strong> that had not been nullified, since, as noted, the rabbis decreed that all \u1e25ametz<\/strong> must be nullified and eliminated. SAH (435:4) adds that if one did not burn his \u1e25ametz<\/strong>, he violates bal yera\u2019eh <\/strong>and bal yimatzei<\/strong> on the rabbinic level and is subject to the rabbinic obligation of tashbitu<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Regarding the time for burning the \u1e25ametz<\/strong>: if one finds \u1e25ametz<\/strong> in his possession after the beginning of the sixth hour of the day, he has a rabbinic obligation to burn it, and if he found \u1e25ametz<\/strong> that he did not nullify, he has a Torah obligation to destroy it. If he does not, he violates bal yera\u2019eh <\/strong>and bal yimatzei<\/strong> as soon as the festival begins. If he nullified his \u1e25ametz<\/strong>, he does not violate bal yera\u2019eh <\/strong>and bal yimatzei<\/strong> on the Torah level, but he still has a rabbinic obligation to burn it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
