Bedikat Chametz – The Search for Leaven 

Begins after nightfall on Sunday, April 21, 2024. By tradition, bread crumbs are placed conspicuously in rooms where food is ordinarily eaten or brought.  

Using a candle for illumination, a “search” is made to find the remnants of chametz, which are then collected using a feather as a whisk.
