In this episode we get into Pesach and the mitzvah of bedikas chametz, the days long search for chamtz in our homes. We put so much effort into searing every corner and crack of our house to make sure there isn't even a crumb of chametz on Pesach. In terms of our internal avodah, why is this so important to do? Why are we required to be so much more thorough when it comes to searching for chametz than almost any other mitzvah? And why do we need to go so far as to burn it afterwards? We'll get into all of that and much more in this episode!
