Pesach

Shalom aleichem Rabbi Lauffer. Thank you for answering my last question. If one's Maxwell House haggadah has a sticker on the front advertising a free haggadah if one buys a can of Maxwell House coffee, and further advertisements for Maxwell House coffee in the haggadah itself at the beginning, would he still be able to use this haggadah at the Seder? Thanks a lot.

Shalom aleichem Rabbi Lauffer. Thank you for answering my last question. If an American living in America sold his chametz to a non-Jew before Pesach, but then went and bought chametz from the store on the last day of Pesach (Yom Tov Sheni shel Galuyos), would that chametz be forever assur ba'hana'ah, or would it not be because de'oraisa the Pesach was already over in Eretz Yisrael. Thanks a lot.

Hi, Rabbi, Happy Passover! Question: What are “Intermediate Days” of Passover that I see on the calendar all about? Thanks.

BRAND PRODUCT TYPE SYM-BOL STATUS Lipton Teabags-(Decaffeinated) Pareve OU Symbol required. Kosher for Passover without special certification.   EXCERPT from OU Kosher Passover list. Am I correct that the symbol required means OU symbol? If I understand the above excerpt correctly, I may use Lipton Decaf Tea Bags on Passover even though they do NOT have OU-P symbol. They only have OU. Am I correct? Thanks.

What's the idea of eating Matzah on Passover?

Dear Rabbi, I heard that there’s a special charity fund for Passover. I assume it’s to help some people with the extra cost usually involved in buying matzah, wine and other special “Kosher for Passover” foods. Would you mind telling more about this practice? Thanks and Happy Passover!

I just purchased OSEM Passover Matzahs. I found the following words on the package, which I had never heard before. Regular Matzah MEHUDAR It appears Mehudar means "halachically superior", "above and beyond what is strictly required". That sounds good. Is it correct? YASHAN Flour "Yashan means that the flour used in this baked item came from wheat that took root in the ground before the PREVIOUS 17th of Nissan." Yashan also means "OLD", because the flour is one year old. "The matzah you purchased is probably perfectly fresh." That does not sound so good. How is this flour kept fresh for one year? Is it really safe to eat? Happy Passover in advance.

Has Passover ever started on Saturday night?

Is eating matzah compulsory on Passover day?
