          <text>When Erev Pesach coincides with Shabbat, the search and removal of chametz are moved up to Thursday evening and Friday morning respectively.</text>

          <text>It is customary to place well-wrapped pieces of hard bread in various places some time before the search, so that the one who searches will find them. According to the Kabbalah, one should place ten pieces. Before starting the search, the following blessing is recited:</text>

          <text>One is to search by candlelight in all hidden places, even cracks in the floor. One is not to speak between the blessing and the beginning of the search, even concerning the search itself. Throughout the search, one should not speak about anything that is not relevant to the search. Members of the household should stand nearby to hear the blessing, with each one then searching his own place without speaking in between. They should begin the search in the room nearest the place where the blessing was heard, and not go to another room immediately after the blessing. After the search, one must be careful that the chametz retained (to be eaten or to be burnt in the morning) should be put in a safe place, so that it is not carried about and thereby crumbled and spread by children or rodents.</text>

          <text>The chametz, including the ten pieces, should be burned in a special fire on the morning of the fourteenth of Nissan, before the end of the fifth &quot;proportional&quot; hour of the day. (A &quot;proportional&quot; hour is one-twelfth of the period between sunrise and sunset.) Following this, one should recite the following declaration, nullifying any remaining chametz:</text>
