Must one check for chametz under a rubble pile (gal/mapoles) that collapsed onto a wall previously used for chametz storage?
Synopsis
Due to scorpion danger, one need not check under a rubble pile. For definite chametz under less than 3 tefachim of rubble, one must carefully remove it. Over 3 tefachim: mental nullification suffices.
