Reply To: Heter In My Back Pocket

Feif and Not I –

My rov did not say its “ok” he just told me how the makilim get around the problem of chometz over pesach. In fact, he won’t drink anything that does not have a holy hechsher. He just tells us what he knows, and if we ask him what to do, he’ll tell us. In a case like this, he does not need to spell it out; he has said this many times, over the course of many drashos.

Don’t only do whats “allowable”; do what’s right. This time (IMHO) I chose what I thought was right. Will my son understand the motive? Not sure. Will he make a judgement call of his own 5-10 years down the road as a result of this episode? I hope so.
