DifferentErev Pesach is always a busy day. Imagine combining it with Shabbos! In 2005, at an OU-RCA Pesach conference, Rabbi Menachem Genack, Rabbinic Administrator and CEO of OU Kashruth, tackled the subject from the perspective of the Rishonim (early Talmudic commentators), also citing his great mentor, the Rav – Rabbi Yosef Dov HaLevi Soloveitchik, Zatzal.
