If the tradition of including the Jewish
National Fund in. the Will of every Jew were
invariably followed, sufficient resources would
be accumulated to ensure the future of the
- young Jewish State on a sound basis of land
development, social welfare, and justice.
A bequest to the Jewish. National Fund •
should be as traditional as having a Blue Box
in one's home.
You may want your bequest to be
dedicated to afforestation, to a village, a
Nachlah, to a children.'s play area, to perpetual
yahrzeit or kaddish, or to some form of
permanent tribute in the names of persons
. dear to you.

Search for Leaven Ritual
Has Special Significance
By RABBI SAMUEL FOX
(Copyright 1979, JTA, Inc.)
It is customary to place
pieces of bread around the
house before conducting the
search for leaven on the
night before Passover (Be-
dikas Hametz).
Two reasons are offered
for this practice. One is that
this serves to remind the
searcher (usually the
owner) to annul his owner-
ship of any hametz. He
might forget to do this if he
saw no pieces of bread as-
suming that his original
cleaning of the house did
away with all leavening.
This is especially so be-
cause the actual search for
leavening takes place for a
while before that night. By
the time that night arrives
the house is usually
thoroughly cleaned. What
remains is the last vestige of
ceremony the annulment
and the destruction of
hametz.
To remind him to do
this pieces of hametz are
laid out so as to have him
concentrate on the
necessary steps to
finalize the removal of
the hametz. Furthermore
if a number of pieces
were not laid out in re-
spective places the
searcher might possibly
abandon the search be-
fore it is actually com-
plete.
Some customs require
that exactly 10 pieces be -
laid out in this procedure.
Some claim that the 10
pieces remind us of the 10
plagues that overtook the
Egyptians in the course of
the preparation for the
Exodus. Others claim that
they represent the 10 sons of
Haman since the plot to ex-
terminate the Jews was de-
clared on the day before the
Passover.
It is also claimed that the
10 pieces represent the 10
temptations of the evil
spirit which must be cleared
away like the hametz.
