Passover Tidbits
1. The tradition of selling your Chometz was never easier. You can now sell your Chametz online. Click here for your online form. Not sure what this is? Click here for more information.
2. This Shabbat is called Shabbat Hagadol the “great Shabbat”. The signs of redemption were already being felt before they actually left.
3. Shmurah Matzah: Special hand baked, round matzah is the best matzah to use for your seder, the taste is not all that matters, it’s spiritually the closest to what we ate going out of Egypt. If you would like some shmurah matzah, we would love to share some with you as our gift. Call 770-1270 or email [email protected] to pick some up.
4. Sunday night search for the Chametz,
5. Fast of the first born. There is a tradition that all first born sons are supposed to fast on the day before Passover to remember that we were saved. For those who would like to eat the custom is to hear a “Siyum” – a conclusion to a Talmudic tractate that was studied and completed. Join us this Monday morning, March 29, for this special tradition. 8 am services, 8:30 am Siyum.
6. Monday cease to eat chametz by 10:50am, and burn by 11:51am.
7. Tuesday night begins 49 day mitzvah--counting the Omer.
8. Passover Holiday services: We will be having Passover services on Tuesday and Wednesday morning, March 30 & 31 at 10 am.
9. Enjoy the rich online information about Passover by clicking here. Your children can also learn and have lots of Passover fun in the Passover kids section.
10. If you have any questions or need help with anything related to Passover or other unrelated issues you can contact the Rabbi at [email protected].
On behalf of the staff at CJC I want to wish you and your family a very happy, Kosher and inspiring Passover. May this Passover bring you freedom in all areas of your life.
Rabbi Zalman Marcus
Gold Buying Party III
By popular demand we are once again having our very successful Gold Buying Party on April 11, 3-6 pm.
As you have been cleaning for Passover you have probably found lots of gold and jewelry that is old and unused, broken or worse. Don’t fret, smile. That junk is worth a lot of money. Just ask the very satisfied people who have joined our parties in the past. Last time the average person walked out with over $700.
Expert jeweler, Sam Hassine, evaluates your gold and gives you cash for it. CJC benefits as well in a very nice way. Thank you Sam and for all those who have participated in the past. Email [email protected] (subject gold) and make your reservation today.
