HaShem brought us out of Egypt with a Mighty Hand and an Outstretched Arm (Deuteronomy 26:8)

Burning your Chametz

1 - Burn only what you collect during Bedikat Chametz (not whole boxes of cereal). Do not burn plastic/aluminum foil.

2 - Never allow children near the fire.

3 - Wear gloves

4 - Try to burn inside a metal can (a garbage can)

5 - Do not burn on your lawn or near/in the woods - we have had very little rain and brush fires start VERY easily.

6 - When you do burn, please try to have a significant amount of water next to you (like a charged garden hose) so that you put the fire out if there is a problem.

7 - Do not leave the fire unattended (even for a second), even if it is just smoldering.  Once the chametz has burned down to ashes, put water on it - L'halacha it is no longer edible chametz.

8 - Do not leave the ashes after you are done, wet it down/put dirt on it and throw it out.

Chag Sameach!
