[Avodah] What is Chametz?

[rabbirichwolpoe at gmail.com]

I have at least several cases that for me are real "head scratchers"

1. halachically speaking - when water drops all day on "issa" it is
never machmitz. Even though the water is NOT mayim shelanu etc. Now of
course when a lot of water falls onto or whena hefseq stops the dripping
it will beign to mahmitz.

2. The case where the fellow goes to the Beis Midrash and forgets he
was kneeding dough. How is it is shayach - ushmartem es hamatzos!
How can he take a side-trip and only realize later he was kneeding dough!
I mean there is no sign of an urgent interruption here. I cannot picture
this scenario.
