Prayer Before Eating Chametz in Bergen-Belsen
Before eating Chametz [on Passover] say the following with
intent & devotion:
Our Father in Heaven, it is revealed and known to You that it is
our desire to fulfill Your will and to celebrate the festival of
Passover by eating Matzah and by observing the prohibition of
Chametz. But, on this our hearts are pained, that the captivity
which prevents us, and we find ourselves in danger of our lives.
We are hereby prepared and ready to fulfill Your
commandment "And you shall live by them" and not die by
them, and to be careful with the warning of "Guard yourself and
guard your life very much." Therefore, our prayer to You is that
You keep us alive, and sustain us, and redeem us speedily, so
that we may observe Your laws and fulfill Your will and serve
You with a full heart. Amen.
