How To Clean Properly For Pesach Without Making Yourself Insane
Pesach – Z'man Cherusainu – is quickly approaching. We are all anxiously and impatiently awaiting its arrival. After all – the Seder nights in all their glory. The entire family – father, mother and children – sitting around the lavishly laden table – discussing in depth the very foundation of our emunah – יציאת מצרים. Our anticipation grows stronger with every passing day. Its unbearable – we can no longer wait!!! Or can we?? I must sadly admit that I've heard people say, “Pesach is unbearable”, “It's too hard”, “Not worth the work”.

Sreifas Chometz 5775 |
If my previous description of the Seder doesn't seem to match yours – perhaps you're doing something wrong. I must elaborate a bit and I will occasionally quote and draw from the writings of HaRav HaGaon Rav Chaim Pinchaos Scheinberg zatzal Obviously, the primary problem is the pre-Pesach cleaning, cleaning and more cleaning. Unfortunately, the average housewife does 75% more cleaning than is required according to the halacha. Spring cleaning should be done after Pesach.
The following items need not be washed for Pesach; Windows, walls, carpets,ceilings, doors and doorknobs. Linens, bedspreads, curtain, towels, fresh dish towels. For those who sell their chometz – all pots, pans, dishes, flatware, appliances (e.g. mixer, grinder, toaster, microwave etc.) and toys which are being stored away for Pesach.
The closet / room where chometz and / or chometz utensils are being locked up does not need to be cleaned for Pesach. Rather, merely take a quick assessment of the approximate amount of chometz present there so that is may be properly listed among items being sold as chometz.

Lakewood Zmanim עש"ק פרשת פקודי- חזק פר' החודש מברכים חודש ניסן תשפ"ה
בשבת זו מברכים את חודש ניסן כולו, חודש מיוחד כלשון הפייטן: "הנה הנם ימים מבורכים באים", שכל ימי החודש כולו מלאים ברכת ה'. אכן, בזוהר הקדוש אמרו: "כל ברכאן דלעילא ותתא ביומא שביעאה תליין". כלומר: בשבת הקודמת לימי השבוע, כי השבת הקודמת היא מקור ברכת השבוע. לפיכך קבעו חכמים לקרוא פרשת החודש בשבת מברכין ניסן, כי בשבת זו מתעוררות ברכות
שמים מעל לרדת על בני ישראל.
. רבי לוי יצחק מברדיצ'ב כתב: "פרשת החודש באה לומר לאדם, שלא יאמר חלילה כי משעה שברא הבורא יתברך את עולמו, שוב אינו משגיח בו, ומסרו ביד המקרה. חלילה לומר כך, חייב האדם להאמין באמונה שלמה, שהבורא יתברך משגיח תמיד בלי שום הפסק בעולמו, ומחיה אותו ומחדשו בכל יום תמיד. השגחה פרטית ומיוחדת היא על בניו אהוביו, ואף אם שעה קשה עוברת על אדם, אל ייפול

Israel at war day 537
-Hamas spokesperson Abd al-Latif al-Qanoua was killed in an IDF strike in Gaza
- Israel Defense establishment estimates: Food, water, and fuel will run out in Gaza - within two months
- Trump: The Houthis want peace now, We have bombed them heavily, and now they are begging for peace. We hit them hard, with success beyond our expectations, and we will continue to strike them for a long time
- After two rockets were fired from Gaza, one intercepted, one landing near Zimra, the IDF issued a final evacuation warning for parts of Gaza City, including Zeitoun, Tel al-Hawa, and Sheikh Ijlin. Palestinians are urged to move south via the coastal road. Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility.
- Egyptian sources to Al Arabi Al Jadid: All proposals to continue the hostage/ceasefire deal presented by Egypt in recent days have failed.
- Prime Minister Netanyahu in the Knesset: "The fighting in Gaza continues. The more Hams persists in its refusal to release our hostages, the more powerful the pressure we will exert will be. And I say to Hams - this includes seizing territory and other things that I will not detail here."
- Israel Defense Minister Katz: "The only way to stop the war is to demand the removal of Hams from Gaza and the release of the hostages. The IDF will soon operate with massive power in additional areas in Gaza - the plans are ready and approved. Hams will make you lose more and more territory that will be added to the Israeli defense system."
