My record is two days post Pesach (not this year though).
this year i was 2 days post pesach
It is 9:00 am, and I’m at work munching on some pesach baby finger cookies with hot chocolate milk. So far I’m not chaloshing like I usually am for chometz.
I did buy a bagel this morning, but that’s for lunch
I also looove shmura matza, and won’t stop eating it just because it’s not pesach anymore
According to the Vilna Goan, you are supposed to make havdallah on beer on Motzei Pesach.
SO not sure your contest would be in line with halacha.
We (my family) don’t ever follow like the minhagim of the Vilna Goan. (at least not any I can think of).
Sure but how to get beer? If we sold ours, we have to wait: the purchase fails to be perfected only some hours later. Obviously one can go out and buy beer, but not before havdalah. Not everyone has a resident nonjewish maid who will promptly pour us beer or whisky when the sky gets dark 🙂
“one can go out and buy beer, but not before havdalah”
Huh?
What are you talking about? Don’t you say ata chonantanu in shemona esrei? You can do any melacha you want after that. The only thing you can’t do is eat.
This year especially I had pizza at 1:00am on moitze yom tov. I couldnt resist. Maybe next year I’ll wait longer.
Usually dont have any chametz before shabbos.
As of now I do not have any plans on becoming chametzdig until Friday night!
People with allergies to wheat can go their entire lives without hametz. Indeed, if they make bread (pizza, bagels, hallah) from quinoa, they can even manage without kitniyous (by the shitah that quinoa 100% non-kitniyos).
I once went chometz free one week after Pesach to test/confirm that I react badly to yeast. A suedas mitzva interrupted my test after one week. Now, I am just real makpid not to waste or toss food, so the matzo leftovers and stam leftovers are sustaining us, till i make a pizza or bake erev shabbos.
akuperma- I think you mean allergies to gluten. Oat bread is just as much chometz as wheat bread.
ditto OOM.
Next contest: see who can go the longest after Yom Kippur without eating.
Both “contests” have equal merit (which is to say, none).
The Wolf
achosid: As far as I know that is an incorrect take on what’s written about the Gaon.
All it says in Ma’ase Rav is that The Gaon would try very hard to taste chometz motzaei chag, and would avoid eating matzah (that one can eat to be yotzei the mitzvah on Pesach). It then says that all of this was a heker that everything is being done for the mitzvah (to do what HaKadosh Boruch-Hu was gozer) and not for enjoyment.
If you know a source to the contrary, however, I’d be interested to see it.
My step-mother’s mother would go every year, 7 days after pesach without chametz………..
achosid: Just because the Gra made Havdalah on beer doesn’t mean that he held there is a Halachic obligation to.
However, this thread seems to border on Bal Tosif.
achosid: sorry for late reply, I was not on the CR for a few days. Thank you a lot, I had no clue. I was aware one can do a melacha if necessary (such as ripping leaves from herbs if one does not have any spices) but I was under the impression that if we have wine available, we don’t go and buy beer. Of course for a woman it’s unusual to do at all, so most of us are ignorant. I’ll make sure the topic is brought up on motzei shabbat, so that everyone will listen, including the girls and ladies. Thanks again.
I finally had chametz on Wednesay since it was Rosh Chodesh and I bought myself a treat.
Why is it a point of pride to deny yourself something for no reason?
However, this thread seems to border on Bal Tosif.
Is there bal tosif on a lav?
Is there bal tosif on a lav?
I don’t know halacha, but from the chumash, yes. I think the Ha’amek Davar says that a person cannot add to a lav from Yiras Hashem (like not adding fast days, because it goes against ???? ????)
because it goes against ???? ????
Then it’s not because of ?? ?????, right?
The Netziv is answering the smichas parshiyos of why ???? ???? is next to ?? ?????. He’s saying that it’s the reason you can’t add a negative mitzva out of Yirah. So the reason you can’t add a lav is because of ?? ?????, and the proof is the smichas parshiyos to ???? ????, which is incompatible with adding too many lavin.
I hope I’m understanding it correctly from my high school Chumash.
If I wanted to, I can probably go the whole year. It is just way too expensive to buy pesach food the whole year. Every year after pesach, i feel guilty when I eat chometz, just as if I were to eat non kosher I would feel guilty.
