We usher in Pesach with the first seder his coming Monday evening. On Sunday at nightfall, we have the tradition to “search” for chametz and then to “burn” it the next morning as a way of demonstrating that we want nothing to do with chametz for next eight days. Here is a video d’var which highlights an interesting custom of the Vishnitzer Rebbe, Menachem Mendel Hager (1830-1884), when it came to the burning of chametz. Watch HERE to learn more.
This Shabbat is Shabbat haGadol – the Shabbat preceeding Pesach. As I have done every year, I will be offering a special Shabbat HaGadol class after our davenings conclude (approximately 11:30 AM) entitled “Don’t Be a Bitter Herb - Pesach and Personal Growth”. A delicious kiddush will follow. I hope you will join for the class.
I wish everyone a shabbat shalom, a chag sameach vekasher and as always…see you in shul!
