pesach: april 20-april 27 2008

This year Pesach begins on the evening of April 20th, after Shabbos. With Shabbos the day before, the order of events this year will be unique. Please refer to our 2008 Pesach Calendar.

As always, this is a very busy time of year, with last-minute preperations, cleaning, and planning. But Chabad of Austin has you covered. Just as in years past, this year we will be hosting seders on the first and second nights, provide kosher for passover meals to area students and residents throughout the holiday, assist in the selling of any chometz you might have, and offer general assistance and education on the holiday -- its laws, meaning, and customs -- both before, during, and after the holiday.

For area students and residents needing kosher for Passover meals during the holiday, or those planning on attending a seder at Chabad House this year, please contact the Chabad House at UT. For seder reservations, you may complete the online form. Meals will be served at the new, temporary Chabad House address, 1915 Robbins Place. On Thursday, April 17, the Siyum for the First Born will held immediately following 7:30 am morning services at Chabad Center in Far West.

Also, it is import for all Jews to ensure that any Chometz or Chometz dishes they wish to not destroy (before Peseach) and own after holiday be sold to a non Jew, right before Friday evening. The laws are complicated and are usually assigned to the Rabbi; Rabbi Levertov of Austin provides this service every year. Please make certain to fill out the online form if you cannot drop by Chabad House or Chabad Center in Far West in person.
