Adam's Torah
This podcast is recordings from classes given by Adam Sabzevari. There are episodes on the weekly Parasha and the Jewish holidays
There is also a series on the Sefer HaMitzvot, in which we go through the list of the Mitzvot.
We will learn the Sefer HaMitzvot HaKatzar (“Concise Book of Commandments”), written by Rabbi Yisrael Meir HaKohen Kagan (the Chofetz Chaim). The book is an abbreviated reworking of the Rambam's Sefer HaMitzvot that only includes commandments applicable outside of Israel in the post-Temple era. ************************* Podcast Link: https://adamstorah.buzzsprout.com/

Positive #22 - To Remove Chametz from Your Possession
In this episode, we learn positive mitzvah #22, which is to remove chametz from your possession on the 14th day of Nissan.
- Chametz is when one of the five grains (wheat, barley, oat, spelt, rye) are mixed with water and left to rise for at least 18 minutes.
- One can remove chametz by eating, destroying it, throwing it out, or declaring it as ownerless.
- The deadline for this mitzva is the 14th day on the month of Nissan at midday.
- The Sages made the deadline one hour earlier, so that people don't leave it for the last minute
- The Sages instituted that the night before this deadline, people should search their homes to find all their chametz ("Bedikat Chametz").
