Pesach is one of those things where the OCD comes out. I am not saying that to sound harsh. I just draw the line at cutting off one’s nose despite their face.

I know people whose entire house ends up covered in several layers of foil and then plastic on top.

I am somehow very confident that people like Akiva and Hillel did not do such things.

I know…I know…but maybe if we repainted the entire kitchen, and then coated the newly painted walls with wallpaper, and then put the tinfoil on that? Only certified kasher le-pesach paint, wallpaper and tinfoil, mind you.

//Seriously. If you wouldn’t put in in your mouth, it’s no longer chametz.

I like the Ethiopian minhag—they move OUT of the house, and everyone camps in the village square during the holiday. You can do this in Ethiopia in early spring. Poland, not so much.
