how to clean for Pesach: a study in contrasts
Hat tip to Mother in Israel for her analysis of Mishpacha Magazine's guide to cleaning for Pesach in just one week (assuming the garage and attic are already done, mind you).

I received a forwarded email from a Yitzchok Levine, and I think I remember it verbatim:
