Next year, I bet you'll stock up on those things before they have a chance to tape them all off!<br />I've read books in which they talk about the cleaning in preparation for Passover but I didn't realize how extensive it was. Very interesting.Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14883291158657456666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4105951987157775123.post-47991304583027263722011-04-25T14:24:08.989+03:002011-04-25T14:24:08.989+03:00Thank you Anna.

Thank you so much for your blogs and for your pictures. Although I speak to Claire often, it is noce to see actual pictures of what she is talking about. <br /><br />I hope you are fine and feeling much better. Btw, it was nice to catch a glimpse of your face on Skype last week!<br /><br />Blessings,<br />KathyUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136419575418019984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4105951987157775123.post-85484473298691049862011-04-24T18:04:45.311+03:002011-04-24T18:04:45.311+03:00Oh my that sure is culture shock.

I'm impressed with the dedication to observance of faith. The entire house cleaning to remove all Chametz for Passover sounds daunting however the symbolism of purification and sacrifice is clear. I remember giving up various things for the 40 days of Lent. I've given up deserts or sweets, bread stuff, fried foods, chocolate or caffeine only to replace my craved food with something else by the end of the 40 days. Chametz purges the house/home and body for a new beginning and eliminates cheating options. Enjoyed your post and hope your cold is better.<br /><br />Love,<br />MomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
