New York – Sick of cleaning all day? Now do it all week. Then do it all year. Then do it for 210 years.

As the time of our cheirus approaches (and our precious kids keep pestering us with “Why do we have to clean the whole house for Pesach?!”), the key to its spiritual theme just may be found in its grueling physical groundwork.
Calling all talmidei chachomim—could it be that chometz housecleaning is intended to make us feel what slave labor is really like? Let us know which if any Rishon/Acharon/gadol/Rebbe says as much; we’re sure that at least one does.
With that in mind, when we gather around our Seder tables this Wednesday night and declare ourselves bnei chorin, let’s really mean it—with a little stimulation, perhaps, not just from our sacred Hagadahs, but from our sore hands too.
VIN News wishes you and yours and kosher and happy Pesach—and next year, will celebrate the Chag HaMatzos in Yerushalayim.
In observance of the Passover Holiday VIN News will be offline from April-8-2009 7:00 PM, Until Saturday night April-11-2009 9:00 PM
thanks for all the same blassin to u
What Rabbi C.P. Scheinberg does say, is that Spring Cleaning is NOT required and staying awake for the complete Seder is required. So listen up yiddishe mamas, Stop it already!!!
Best wishes for a Chag Kosher v’Someach!
A Kusherin Peisach to all of you and yours.
May be have our next sedurim in Yerishulayim with Mushicah Tzidkeini.
May everyone and their families enjoy the holidays with health and wealth, and true happiness and join Moshiach for next Year’s seders in Jerusalem.
May this “Zman Chairus” or a “Time of Freedom” be a time free from Jewish internal bickering, and may be each see only the good in each other.
Chag Sameach to the VIN team
Yes Reb Levi Yitchok BEn Sarah Sasia The Holy Bardetchiver used to say that woman of kllall yisroel promised to take on the cleaning for Pessach and thus we were released before the time..

Matzoh farfel makes me laugh. Some matzohs breaks on the assembly line. Sell the broken matzoh for less? No way! Break them much more, then sell them for double the price per pound of unbroken matzoh!!
Who buys matzoh farfel? Is it so hard to buy whole matzohs and crumple them?
