Rav Pam's Matza Challah - Shelach 5770

Rav Pam was Noheg a Chumra for himself that when he opened a box of Matzos or if he went someplace to eat even though that place had a Hechsher, he would break of a small piece and say Zu Chalah and throw it out. It is really not possible to give a proper Hechsher on properly separating Challah. A Hechsher is based on coming into a store and catching someone using a Treif ingredient. This is Yotzi V’nichnas. By Challah it is difficult because you can’t catch someone in the act of not taking Challah. So as a personal Chumra or Hiddur, Rav Pam would break off a piece of Matza and put it aside. He was not Machmir to burn it in such a case. In that way he was Zahir in this particular Mitzvah. In Chutz L’aretz it helps that once you separate Challah even in your own home you can say this is Challah for all of the dough that was made together with this and in that way in case there was some error and Challah wasn’t taken, he would be Mesakein for others as well.
