No Khametz

It's Passover week here in Israel. Traditionally, this is the time when one cleans out all the Khametz (leaven) from the household before Passover arrives. I didn't do that and a lot of people don't really do that either. Some people simply sell their Khametz. They have a gentile buy their Khametz before Passover begins for a symbolic fee, maybe just a dollar. They close all of the Khametz up in a cupboard and simply don't open that cupboard for a week. Then at the end, they give the dollar back to the gentile and they can once again can access their Khametz.

Grocery stores have a similar tactic. Instead of throwing out and burning tons of food, they cover it up for the week of Passover.

So, for the next week I won't be able to buy anything behind these tarps. Thankfully, most of the food that I use isn't located behind them.

Blessings on you as we celebrate and remember that God has brought us out of slavery and into freedom!
