checking is typically done on the 14th
of Nissan but this year it will be done
on the 13th which is the Thursday
Thursday night is when there will be the
checking for the KET which means that
the fast is actually done this year
before the checking of the K so it's not
that's usually that's the opposite uh so
this this year the checking the is done
on Thursday night uh where uh you um uh
you put uh the custom is uh to to put
some you know some one of your family
members to put 10 pieces uh that are
small than kazite uh uh small pieces of
in different parts of the house and then
you uh go look for it with a uh candle
or if it's dangerous then you could do
with a flashlight even uh and uh uh some
say it's uh very good to use also a um a
feather uh to look at different creases
and look for the
some uh from a few hundred years ago uh
uh uh actually frowned upon this uh
custom of hiding in case a person uh
doesn't find it but nonetheless the
person that hides it should if you have
a big house you should write it on a
piece of paper where you hit every
single one in case uh the uh the family
members that are looking for the cannot
find it but is part of the of P you have
to make a specific blessing on the you
will find that in the P which is you
specific prayer book for the time of P
so there's a special prayer that you do
now now since the actual holiday itself
doesn't begin until Saturday what what
happens there that's really where the
confusion is because even though you're
looking
for you're still technically allowed to
eat throughout all of Thursday night all
of Friday and until uh PES officially
begins somewhere around 10 to 11:00 a.m.
on Saturday
afternoon uh so a uh the reality is is
that you're looking for but you're still
going to have some left so what do you
do with this
this that you're going to be using to
eat Thursday night Friday and Saturday
morning you put it in a one part of your
house whether it's going to be a certain
section of your kitchen or or or
wherever you want to put it but it
should be all of it in one place the
rest of the house should be clean
already for PES ready for PES but just
the uh uh utensils pots and pans and
food that's still that you're going to
be using for those next uh uh uh day and
a half uh should be in one section in
the uh the
house uh now uh until again uh Saturday
uh which again over here for example the
uh the last time to eat is going to be
the morning meal morning meal of Shabbat
which has to end uh here in Florida in
Cooper City has to end at 11:20 a.m.
okay Israel on the other hand where Rim
is it's around 10:00 a.m. 10 10:15
something like that so you have to check
uh with uh the uh uh apps that you have
websites based on your ZIP code when is
the last time to eat kit on Saturday for
all of us it's Saturday but just uh
different times depending on where you
are in the
world so which means that again you're
checking for that's not the one that
you're going to be eating during the the
next day or and a half or so
okay uh after that you have to on Friday
on Friday you have to burn the burn the
K that you're not going to be eating
burn the and the uh this is going to be
on Friday morning and even though you're
still allowed again you're allowed to
eat KET for Friday night and actually
need to eat K technically uh for Shabbat
and and for Saturday morning uh they uh
you still have kets that uh you're not
you know you're not going to eat now if
it is uh uh you know closed packaging of
things uh you want to keep them then you
can sell that K it's completely closed
untouched and so on you can sell that K
there are different websites or you're a
local Rabbi in the community uh I'm sure
have some type of an arrangement with a
non-jew that would buy the KET for the
duration of the holiday uh so you could
sell the KET that's only close but if
you have that's that's opened uh unless
it's expensive liquor uh you have to
throw it out don't uh play games with
this and also if it's say uh uh things
that uh are uh are not going to uh keep
you know because they're going to expire
and things like that again this is part
of the stuff that you uh uh you burn as
part of the burning of the some
communities most communities Jewish
communities have a uh
fire and usually in a some type of a uh
Barrel that everybody throws their in
there on Friday morning and the time to
do it is like it would be done in a
typical year uh morning morning uh
morning time somewhere around a little
bit before noon before noon uh selling
the that you want to keep for to use it
after after p uh is to be done ideally
on Thursday on Thursday but it's okay to
even sell the K this year on Friday
because again you're technically allowed
to eat it until Saturday morning until
Shabbat morning uh but uh ideally to
sell it on
Thursday uh but uh you can sell it even
on Friday I wouldn't recommend uh uh
waiting for the uh last minute when
you're burning the uh remember to do the
uh the blessing uh but when you're when
you're selling the that you do without B
blessing there's no uh uh the blessing
that you're doing as far as the B uh the
cancellation of The KES that's left you
do on Shabbat afternoon Shabbat
afternoon is when you do that particular
blessing uh so now uh on uh
Friday you're allowed to do because it's
not y so you're allowed to do you know
with clean whatever it is you need to do
but again remember it's you're preparing
for the uh you know a long holiday uh
and it's an important holiday this is a
uh uh one of the foundations of of
Judaism it's not one of those holidays
where it's like a custom uh it's you
have to uh be prepared for this as a
rabbi I must emphasize that this Mitzvah
is mandatory for every Jew as it ensures
all members of Amel can properly
celebrate the holiday with dignity and
joy the importance of Kima stems from
the fundamental ala that one must ensure
everyone can experience true Sim
happiness during the holiday
