Pesach Sieve Switched with Chametz Sieve

From: Rabbi Moshe Sofer

To: Rabbi Moshe

Description

A sieve used year-round with chametz was accidentally switched with a thoroughly cleaned Pesach sieve and used to sift ground matzah flour. The Chasam Sofer upholds the local rabbi's lenient ruling permitting the earthenware utensils used, citing thorough cleaning and significant financial loss.
