End of Pesach (Israel)

[Pruzhany]

I ended Pesach in the traditional Sephardi manner. How did you?

It is my understanding that is the reason why outside of Israel an additional day of observance was required, to be extra sure that the holiday was observed for/in the proper time period. If that is not the case, can someone please explain why.

If that IS the case, here's my question. Why should Pesach (or any other holidays for that matter) last an additional day if we have all modern technology to tell us exactly when the Yom Tovs are?

Because a custom is a custom and Halakha is Halakha no matter what current technology is available.

And back to my thread...

I ended my Pesach ban of Chametz by eating a piece of Pizza after work.

I have not gotten around to eating chametz yet. The rabbis didn't buy back our chametz until about 10 pm last night. Heck, I didn't get home from shul until about 9:30 pm last night. And then I had mounds of blue tape and tinfoil in my kitchen to deal with. Went to bed late. I'll get around to eating some chometz eventually today.
