What Is Chametz (Chometz)?
By Yehuda Shurpin
The Very Short Answer
Chametz (also spelled "hametz" or "chometz") is any food product made from wheat, barley, rye, oats or spelt that has come into contact with water and been allowed to ferment and “rise.”
In practice, just about anything made from these grains—is to be considered chametz. This includes cake, cookies, pasta, breads, and items that have chametz as an ingredient, like malt.
The Biblical Basis
Just before the nation of Israel left Egypt, G‑d commanded them to sacrifice the paschal lamb and then eat it with unleavened matzah and bitter herbs.2 G‑d then told them that they should replicate this feast every year on the anniversary of the Exodus: “It shall be for you a remembrance . . . seven days you shall eat matzah, and on the first day you should remove all se’or (sourdough, a leavening agent) from your homes. Anyone who eats chametz (leaven) from the first day to the seventh day shall be cut off from Israel.”
Getting Rid of Chametz
Long before Passover begins, we clean our homes, offices, and any other place that belongs to us to rid our homes of chametz. Although it’s praiseworthy to be stringent on Passover, keep in mind that dust isn’t chametz. The main purpose of cleaning and searching for chametz is to remove any chametz that one may come to inadvertently eat or derive benefit from during Passover. This obligation of getting rid of chametz does not extend to inedible chametz or tiny crumbs or particles of chametz that are soiled or spoiled. So the key areas to focus on are things that may come in contact with food, since we are forbidden to eat anything with even a trace of chametz.

SMALL STRAWS by MARSHA BURNS
Do not take on more than you can effectively handle. Stay within the limitations of your body and soul, and do the best that you can with what you have been given. Maintain a positive attitude, and your grateful heart will be rewarded again and again. Isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.
Psalm 77:5, “I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.” David writes about the ancient times… That might seem strange to us if we think David lived in ancient times. But David remembers is remembering the troubles that the early Hebrew people went through. He had an accurate record of history. David believed what’s written by Moses.
If the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel do exist, shouldn’t they start returning to Israel now that God’s Covenant Nation is back in the Promised Land? As we hear in this full length interview with Margot Crossing, the answer is, “Yes, they do exist, and yes they are starting to return!” That’s the motivation for the prophetic initiative she calls “Ten in Ten,” which invites peoples from around the globe to retrace the steps of the tribes back to Jerusalem in fulfillment of prophecy. As she shares the concept of this initiative, listen with your heart and spirit, and ask the Lord is this is an invitation you would want to accept!

Give your worries to the LORD,
and HE will care for you.
HE will never let those who are good be defeated.
