SIYUM HA’BCHOR MINYAN – FAST OF THE FIRST BORN…WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1ST AT 8:30AM

Erev Pesach is the Fast of the First-Born, where first-born males would fast until the seder begins – in commemoration of the 10th plague from which first-born    Israelites were spared.  There is a long standing tradition to hold a siyum (a celebration marking the conclusion of study of a Talmudic tractate) followed by a breakfast. The reason for this is that anyone obligated to observe a private fast is permitted to break off their fast when attending a Siyum.

Breakfast will follow the Minyan.

POWER OF ATTORNEY – SALE OF HAMETZ

As you know, it is forbidden to either consume or be in possession of any hametz (leavening) during the    Passover Holiday. Traditionally, we sell any hametz  that cannot be disposed of through the agency of the Rabbi.  It is also customary, though not required, to make a small contribution at the time of sale. Proceeds collected from the sale of hametz  will go towards MA’OT CHITIM – Passover assistance for needy Jewish families. For the Power of Attorney /contract for the sale of hametz  ,  CLICK HERE.
