Before Passover begins walk through your living space. Open each cabinet in kitchen and bath. Lift the bed skirts, open the closet doors, reveal the refrigerator. Notice what is inside.

(Contemplate what you see. Is there hametz? Probably there’s the easy kind: A box of cereal, loaf of bread. This is also about the other hametz. Caffeine, chocolate, work, shopping, maybe bigger addictions. What did you find?)

Look deeply within,

Passover is a week long exodus from life-style patterns.
