| Monday | Nissan 14 | 5703 | | B'dikat chametz after Maariv. | | Torah lessons: | Chumash: Acharei Mot, Sheini with Rashi. | | Tehillim: 72-76. | | Tanya: On the other hand (p. 209)...known to the initiated. (p. 209). | |
With regard to selling the chametz it is the custom in the Rebbe's family not to designate the rabbi as an agent (empowered to sell the chametz to the non-Jew) but to sell the chametz outright to the rabbi with an areiv kablan, a third party guarantor.
My father would personally supervise the baking of the sh'mura matza on erev Pesach afternoon. He, too, would recite the hallel, but he would interrupt - even in the middle of a chapter - to give instructions regarding the kneading, baking and so forth.
