Pesach Q&A 2026
Q: Do I need to check my car for chametz during Bedikat Chametz?
Yes, you should check your car if you plan to use it for Pesach; however, the method differs: use a candle in the house, while for the car a flashlight is common, and ensure hametz cannot be accessed during the drive.
Pesach Q&A 2026
Q: What should I do about medications during Pesach if they contain doubtful ingredients?
If a medication is essential for survival, take it as prescribed; for non-critical meds, check lists for compliant brands without gelatin or chametz components, and consider consulting a rabbi or kosher agency to confirm a safe option.
Pesach Q&A 2026
Q: Can I use plastic cups or paper plates for Pesach?
Plastic and paper cups/plates can be problematic if they have coatings or starch-based layers; use options that are certified or known to be acceptable, such as items on OU/CRC/Star K lists, or opt for plastic/styrofoam when in doubt.
