GUIDE TO PASSOVER

Bedikat Chametz – Search for Chametz

This year the search for Chametz will take place on Tuesday, April 4 after 8:00pm. All homes should be cleansed of Chametz prior to the search. After sundown the search for any leftover Chametz takes place. This search is customarily done with a candle but contemporary authorities instruct us to use electric lights as well to ensure that no crumb escapes our sight. The head of the household renounces possession of all Chametz unknown to him/her remaining in the house.

Erev Pesach – Fast of the first born

This year the eve of Passover occurs on Wednesday, April 5. All first-born Jewish males are to fast as an expression of gratitude to God who spared the Jewish first-born when their Egyptian counterparts were slain. Participation in a siyum, the completion of the study of a Talmudic tractate, is accepted in lieu of fasting. On Wednesday, April 5, Morning Services will take place at 7:30am followed by Rabbi Harold Einsidler’s siyum on a Tractate, followed by a festive breakfast. The traditional biur chametz, the burning of the Chametz, will take place on Wednesday, on the first floor playground, no later than 11:30am. No Chametz may be eaten after 10:15am on Wednesday, April 5. All leftovers must be disposed of by 11:30am. 

Chametz can be consumed starting Thursday, April 13 at 9:00pm
