Q. (I, B”H became a complete baal teshuva less than a year ago. I’m now learning at a yeshiva in Israel but my parents who are totally not orthodox want me to spend Pesach with the family together and since they are very good to me I can’t say no.)
I’m expected to do my share with my siblings and help in the kitchen, serve the food and clear the table, can I do this when the food is not kosher and chametz too?
I’m in dire need for guidance and very thankful for your help.
A. On Pesach you are not allowed to serve or help serve chometz and their products to others. Additionally, Horav Shlomo Miller Shlit”a pointed out that they are also muktzah, although the chometz utensils specially glasses may not be. He advices to compromise with your siblings so that they serve the food and you clean the room or do other permitted work.
Rabbi A. Bartfeld as revised by Horav Shlomo Miller Shlit”a
