- PSA: The public chametz burnings do not burn everything that goes into their dumpsters. Come to them at 1pm and you will see them brimming with chametz. Which is not a problem for chametz. But for challah, that is not sufficient. The challah must be burned. Either place them in the boxes for Sreifas Challah all over town, like outside Aisle 9 in Jackson. Or take a coal grill and make a fire with coal, and dump the challah inside. In that case, the grill will become treif. If you want to keep it, find a large can or metal baking tin and place it on top of the coals. After some hours, it should be burned to a crisp. Best if you cover most of the fire (not all) that the heat stays inside.(Submitted)
