“Dust Is Not Chumetz!” — A Timely Shiur from the Kossov Rebbe zt"l

As Pesach approaches, the pressure builds. Homes are turned upside down, every crumb scrutinized, every corner inspected. For many, the preparation can feel overwhelming, sometimes even heavier than the Yom Tov itself.

In a powerful and refreshingly clear 20-minute shiur, the Kossov Rebbe zt"l addresses this exact tension with a message that cuts straight to the core:

“Dust is not chumetz.”

Known as a strict and uncompromising Dayan, the Kossov Rebbe carried immense authority in halacha. Yet, alongside that rigor was a deep understanding of people - their lives, their pressures, and their realities.

In this shiur, the Rebbe does not dilute halacha. On the contrary, he sharpens it. He reminds us that true adherence to halacha means knowing its boundaries - not extending them unnecessarily in ways that create stress, anxiety, or even resentment toward the mitzvos
